Green light for salmon

By Glenise Dreaver New Zealand King Salmon has won the right to develop four new marine farms in the Marlborough Sounds.

Two appeals against approval for the ventures were heard by Judge J. Dobson in a High Court hearing in Blenheim in May. On Friday, it was announced that both appeals, from Save our Sounds and The Environmental Defence Society, had been dismissed.

The applications were originally submitted to the Environmental Protection Authority and accepted by the Minister of Conservation to be of national significance. They were processed in accordance with the Resource Management Act, by a Board of Inquiry.

The board approved the application in February 2011. Continued page 2.

TWICE WEEKLY

The billboards for sitting Mayor Alistair Sowman are already in place as he stands for a fourth term as Mayor.

Alistair is unfazed by the three candidates standing against him.

“I’ve lived here all my life, I understand the issues and, as everyone knows, I’m always available,” he says. “The Mayor has to be out in the community.”

“One minute I can be talking to teenagers, the next moment I could be representing Marlborough’s interests at a national level or in front of a business audience. You need certain skills to be able to do that,” he said.

“It’s a team leadership job and it’s a huge responsibility,” he adds.

It’s not always easy either.

The move for change that swept the electorate at the last local body election saw eight new councillors.

This coincided with a time of global recession which has hit such local ventures as the wine industry.

It was a tough start to the term with allegations flying about and a lot of damaging finger-pointing, dealt with by the Sheard Inquiry.

Alistair says the Inquiry was “a distrac-

tion” which caused a lot of unnecessary angst, putting staff under stress.

“It took some time to move on but, to the credit of the whole council, that has happened.

He is proud that, despite the issues, this council has managed finances prudently.

“There aren’t many councils around the country in such good financial shape,” he says proudly.

Leading a team of individuals with very different personalities and ambitions is not easy, but he believes they are now pulling together and he describes their decisionmaking as “sound”.

Alistair dismisses comments about age as a factor. “Youthful ideas are part of the mix but commonsense is the first requirement.

“And to lead the team you need enthusiasm tempered with wisdom and competence.

“Newcomers may not understand that the council’s role is governance. Councillors don’t get to make the calls on the council’s day to day business; their job is to set policy and set priorities but that’s sometimes hard for new councillors to get to grips with.”

He’s very happy to be standing on the

council’s record.

“We’ve maintained services without increasing debt while also doing some pretty important infrastructural projects.

The downturn did mean some things had to be deferred because of costs.

“We’ve done a lot of planning to revitalise the CBD but couldn’t make it all happen at once. But one of my priorities is that we now start rolling that out. Retail shopping has changed and there

is a need for other attractions to bring people into town.”

The Mayor’s role also means handling the big issues like Clifford Bay which involve trips to Wellington and lobbying of central government.

The job is, he says, pretty much seven days a week.

Alistair’s already looking to the Monday after the election, when he will he says, be ready: “Ready to bring the team together to ‘hit the ground running’.”

Green light for King Salmon farms

By Glenise Dreaver From page 1.

While the Marlborough District Council had opposed the plan at the board hearing as the decision overturned the current Resource Management Plan. However, they chose not to appeal to the High Court.

The MDC plan zones Queen Charlotte Sound as a primarily recreational area and Pelorus Sound as a mainly “working” stretch of water.

Mayor Alistair Sowman said last week he had earlier spoken to government Ministers, explaining that eight of the nine farms sites originally proposed

were in areas designated as prohibited for aquaculture.

“I said that to change that, we would need to consult with the people of the area,” he said. The High Court decision however, renders that requirement redundant.

New Zealand King Salmon CEO Grant Rosewarne says he and his team are ”extremely relieved” after what he says was “an exhausting process”.

“But we’re very excited and eager to get on with the business of producing the world’s best salmon.”

Once operational, the four new farms would, he said, create about 200 new

jobs in the Top of the South. Benefits would start to flow through wages and additional work for local suppliers such as water taxis, engineering firms, transport companies and local shops.

“This decision is another step forward for New Zealand King Salmon in its plans to establish four new farms, delivering an additional $60 million a year in export income and providing 200 new jobs.”

The environmental group Sustain Our Sounds Inc is, however, extremely disappointed with the decision says chairman Danny Boulton, saying it set a “dangerous precedent” for all of New

Zealand’s coastal areas.

“It is alarming that such a proposal can go ahead on so little evidence of the environmental effects or economic benefits of salmon farming in the Sounds, as was acknowledged by the Board of Inquiry. The High Court decision means we are now relying on elaborate resource consent conditions to protect the environment.

Mr Boulton says SOS will not give up its fight. “Our next legal option is to appeal to the Supreme Court in Wellington and a decision will be made on this after consultation with the SOS committee and legal team.”

Dawson declares intentions

By Glenise Dreaver Brian Dawson, the former general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, has finally quelled speculation about his intentions in the coming local body elections.

By midday on Tuesday he had put his name forward for both the Marlborough District Council mayoralty and council.

Brian is putting effort into this.

Having recently resigned from the role of general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, he will spend the next two months up until the final voting day on October 12 virtually full-time campaigning.

“Today is day one of that,” the 43-year-old contender said yesterday.

“I think there needs to be a real urgency brought to the leadership here,” he said of his mayoralty bid.

“The region deserves a contest of ideas, especially after nine years.”

One of his main concerns, he said, surrounded the council’s “hands off” approach to the New Zealand King Salmon application for nine new salmon farm sites in Queen Charlotte Sound.

“I don’t understand council’s approach,” he said. “There are

150,000 hectares of water space.

“Are we not welcoming balanced expansion of aquaculture in the Marlborough Sounds?”

He says he also has anxiety surrounding such issues as the looming redundancies at Safe Air and the structural shifts at the Post Office. There is also the possible

relocation of the ferry terminal to Clifford Bay. “I am concerned about the lack of urgency about putting new jobs in place so that the staff from the affected firms have new jobs to go to,” he said.

“I don’t want Clifford Bay for example. But if it happens we need to make the most of the

opportunities it offers, to get our fair share of the construction of it for example.

“And we need game breakers for Picton and its surrounds to make that area a true destination point.

“We need to think about policies that lead to jobs at the front end here.”

Council nominations close Friday While the deadline for nominations for the mayoralty and council do not close until noon on Friday August 16, Brian Dawson’s was the last nomination to have been received when the Sun went to press.

Blenheim boy joins RNZAF

By Kristy Martin Blenheim teenager Scott McMillan has decided to follow in his parents footsteps by joining the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

Scott, 17, was one of 51 cadets from the Command and Recruit Training Squadron at Woodbourne to graduate last Friday.

After 13 weeks of introductory military training, which included ground defence, weapons training and gruelling field exercises, Scott’s proud parents said they had noticed many positive changes in their son.

“He’s definitely matured,” mother Gaynor said at the ceremony.

“He’s fitter and he stands taller, plus it has taught him discipline and independence,” father Ken added.

Scott, whose parents are both ex-Air Force, recently left Marlborough Boys College to take up the new career path.

“I enjoyed it but I found it hard at the same time,” he said of the training.

“It’s better looking back on it than it was at the time.”

Scott will now go on to complete an engineering course at NMIT followed by an avionics course.

Koreans mark 60 years of armistice

By Kristy Martin Korean children placed hand-made necklaces on veterans during a ceremony in Blenheim to mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice.

The armistice, signed in 1953, marked the end of the three-year war between North Korea and South Korea.

About 100 people turned out for the commemoration, held at Seymour Square, including about 30 members of the local Korean community and a uniformed Korean Marine Corps soldier.

“I was surprised at how many people were there, but then it was a special occasion,” said Les Pye, secretary of the New Zealand Korean Veterans Association Marlborough.

Veterans from Nelson also attended the service.

The ceremony included prayer readings, the laying of wreaths and the unveiling of a plaque honouring the local veterans and marking the anniversary of the armistice.

Children from the local Korean community presented the veterans with necklaces.

One of the safest places to live Story and photo by Kristy Martin Inspector Simon Feltham, Marlborough’s new chief of police, has hit the ground running.

In his first three weeks as area commander, Insp Feltham arrested a driver for doing burnouts, has had to deal with a spate of late-night assaults and arrived just in time for the aftermath of the earthquakes.

Despite all this, the region’s new top cop knows Marlborough is among the safest places in New Zealand and therefore didn’t hesitate to move here from Wellington with his wife and two children.

“Crime rates show Marlborough to be one of the safest regions in New Zealand,” the 43-year-old said.

"It's a great place with great people."

Insp Feltham grew up in Nelson and joined the police force in Wellington in 1995. Since then has worked in various frontline and management roles.

Taking over from Inspector Simon Caldwell and based in Blenheim, he will be responsible for the area that includes Picton and Havelock, inland Marlborough and south to Kaikoura.

“There are not going to be major changes in the way the police here operate," he said.

“They are a hard-working and dedicated team.”

For Insp Feltham, policing is as much about crime prevention and education as simply responding to crime.

“The more we can do to prevent crime the better.”

In future, Marlburians can expect to be told in advance about pro-active police campaigns, such as operations targeting drunk and speeding drivers.

“The aim isn’t to issue tickets.

It’s to get people to change their behaviour.”

Limited interest in Picton planning Thinking of warming up?

There were only twelve submissions to the Marlborough District Council on the proposed Picton Foreshore Development Plan says MDC reserves planner Elisha Oldridge.

The low numbers were, she said, “a bit of a shame”.

Submissions closed on July 26 and she said, most submitters were “really happy” with the

current usage such as the minigolf and the model railway, for example.

“They like the current balance between the open space and recreation.”

A few had, she said, wanted more recognition of the historical and cultural elements of the area’s heritage. “And there were both ‘yes’ and ‘no’ responses to

the idea of barbecues.”

There were also several which mentioned the need for better signage and lighting in the area.

Most supported the idea of a whaling extension of the Picton Museum on the foreshore, but there had been no submission in support of the National Whaling Centre, an idea that had previously been floated.

“That was a surprise,” said Elisha.

A draft plan was to go to council at the end of this month for approval.

“We hope to have a few workshops once the draft is passed.

We expect that could generate more feedback.”

Council considers 79m hydroslide for Picton Picton councillor David Oddie says there will be a range of issues to be resolved before a commercial hydroslide business can operate on Picton’s foreshore, a proposal put forth by local man Terry Brown.

Cr Oddie commended Mr Brown, a former Christchurch businessman, for bringing the unique idea forward, and says public views will now have to be sought.

The 79-metre fibreglass hydroslide was originally designed as part of Timaru’s indoor swim-

ming pool but, after a new pool was built there, the waterslide was no longer a good fit and was put up for sale.

After purchasing the hydroslide from the Timaru District Council, Mr Brown announced he wanted to run it as a commercial venture on Picton’s waterfront.

Mr Brown’s business team met with Marlborough District Council staff last week for an initial discussion about the proposal.

Cr Oddie says there are two aspects to any decision on a hydroslide.

Firstly the council and the public would have to consider whether it would fit into the long term plan for the foreshore area and then the business would have to meet the legal requirements relating to planning and health and safety standards.

Cr Oddie says more details are required before council can discuss the proposal but he hoped that would be possible by the next meeting of Council’s Assets and Services Committee at the end of this month.

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

Q: Will you be voting in the Local Body Elections and why?

Robyne McKee Seddon Absolutely. I always have voted and I believe it is your civic duty. I think the rates in Seddon are getting too high and we don’t get anything for it.

Fay Ragen Picton Yes. In my opinion the council do not consult the public enough. They just go and build things like the theatre and the carpark without listening to what people actually want.

Olive Sutherland-Waite Blenheim Yes, I will be voting. I believe the council doesn’t listen to the public enough. There were hundreds of signatures on the theatre petition but I don’t believe they even counted them. It was unfair.

Linda Greer Blenheim I’m not sure at this stage.

I’m not a very political person.

Will Grant Blenheim To be honest, no because there is no public exposure as to who these people are, the people we are supposed to be voting for.

Murray Fairhurst Blenheim Yes I will. I think we need a new mayor.

I don’t like the one we’ve got.

What a shame Dear Ed, Some human Kiwis are very bad advocates for the clean and green image of New Zealand.

Walking through a small forest near the Wairau River that is also used as a mountain bike track, I’m wondering about the species of human beings.

Nearly every time when I walk through this wonderful little paradise - what for me is a real treasure, because around Blenheim you hardly can find a forest - I can see new pieces of rubbish and even trailer loads of garbage dumped somewhere onto the tracks or hidden between the trees.

Why are human beings able to destroy our nature even if in these cases it is only a visual damage?

I feel angry and frustrated and disappointed that some people don’t care about our nature and environment.

It’s a shame for New Zealand, isn’t it?

Where are Bees?

Dear Ed, The debate generated by Fonterra's bungling has thrown the credibility of NZ's "100% Pure" and "Clean Green" into centre stage.

Many who get around outdoors were questioning it years ago. The degraded rivers (60 percent is it are unsafe to swim in?), the dowsing of poisons by DOC on public lands for an imagined pest (possum), an inept Department of Conservation, mismanaged fisheries over fished by corporate greed and so on.

Here in Marlborough it's the same. The Taylor River several years ago was sparkling clear. Now it's imports were $10 billion more than cloudy. What I notice is the absence of bees. With recent warm weather there are few bees. Bees are income by exports. vital for pollination not only crops but plants, trees Does that make sense? No! Would a farmer, business or house- and native vegetation. The ecosystem is ailing.

But national and local government are in a state of hold operate like that?

It’s just plain dumb, crazy house denial. Prime Minister Key on TV One's Q+A was the artful dodger at work. MDC denies the Taylor keeping.

River has lost its sheen. Both lack responsibility.

Jasper Don Coyote

Crazy housekeeping Dear Ed, I’m puzzled by the obsession with free trade. New Zealand seems to be always in the red, spending more than it earns. I refer to the trade deficits. In June the March year current account deficit was over $10 billion!

In plain English that means New Zealand’s expenses (payments) by

Job gives skills and confidence After 17 years in Australia, Jenny Christall felt lost and low on confidence when she returned to her hometown of Blenheim.

Little did she know that within six months, her life would be full of promise, with new skills, new friends and a fantastic new job.

“Being in Blenheim and looking for work in my mid-fifties was very daunting. Not having a job made it worse,” Jenny said.

“I had worked since I was sixteen so when I had to go into Work and Income to apply for a benefit, I felt really embarrassed.”

But, with the Welfare Reform focus on finding the right pathway to help people find work, Jenny found that she only needed the “Woman Alone Benefit” for about six months.

It was her case manager who suggested she go on a 26 week computer training course at the Business Management School.

“Computers were the one area I hadn’t really learnt in any formal way and I could see this would be a big boost on my employability,” Jenny said.

“I can’t speak highly enough about the course.

“The tutors were awesome and so patient, allowing us to work at our own pace.

“Being able to do that course for free was such a privilege. It’s such an opportunity to better yourself,” she said.

Before the course had even finished, a job opportunity arose and Jenny soon found herself employed as the night manager at Blenheim’s Quality Hotel.

It is a role she just loves.

“All my working life has been in customer service and management.

“This job gives me that and a whole lot more.

“The owners are so good to me.

“I have my own apartment here on site and I am learning lots of new skills.”

Being back home in Blenheim is just where Jenny wants to be. After 17 years away, she says it’s easy to forget how friendly people are in New Zealand and what a great lifestyle it offers.

“Australia is great for young people, but for me - at this age - New Zealand and especially Marlborough can’t be Jenny Christall is enjoying her new job at the beaten,” she said.

Kids urged to use brains around trains A new Rail Safety Week campaign is encouraging children and teenagers not to be a “dur brain” by trespassing on train tracks.

Train Brain cartoon characters are now being used to communicate safety messages to pedestrians, such as not being distracted by wearing headphones and using mobile phones, but to instead stay alert around trains.

The campaign was this week launched

by KiwiRail, in association with the Chris

Cairns Foundation and with the support of NZ Police.

Rail Safety Week is an annual nationwide campaign aiming to raise public awareness and encourage behavioural change so rail injuries, deaths and near collisions are reduced.

Jim Quinn, KiwiRail’s chief executive, says the company decided to take the awareness campaign in a different direction this year to better engage with children and teenagers.

“The characters appear in posters, a video and computer game, and while they are endearing and amusing, they help to explain very serious rail safety messages and will appeal to a wide audience, particularly young people.”

Tr e s p a s s i n g was the leading cause of railway deaths, Mr Quinn said.

WARMTH 2013

don't be cold and damp this winter!

While we sit rugged up and comfortable in our warm houses during winter, the last thing we want to deal with is unexpected plumbing problems.

Because let’s face it, when washing machines or pipes in the wall start leaking water everywhere, the repair bill starts escalating.

The weather and perhaps some carelessness may be the reason plumbing problems arise. Call in your local plumber to carry out an annual inspection and regularly check inside and outside your home to find any problem areas that may need repair.

Here are three common plumbing problems which occur due to carelessness.

Clogged Disposals When using garbage disposals, homeowners should run cold water prior to and following use. Additionally some

fruits and vegetables may clog drains. Watermelon rind and corn husks should not be put into the disposal. They may damage disposal blades and cause clogs. Another culprit of disposal clogs is grease. When cooking roasts or frying with oil grease should be disposed of without the use of the disposal.

Washing Machines Washing machines may also cause plumbing issues. Laundry generally accumulates more during the winter, particularly when the weather is wet.

Homeowners should try to stay home while the machine runs to ensure the machine may be stopped should problems arise. Additionally, the machine should be moved away from the wall to prevent kinked hoses.

While tempting, the machine should also not be over-loaded, even when more laundry must be washed.

into the bowl and try to flush.

Should clogging occur plunging may help but in most cases contacting a plumber is essential.

Clogged Toilets Another common plumbing issue is clogged toilets. Often children use too much toilet paper or place foreign objects

Winter heating bills making you angry? Insulate, double glaze and install efficient heating now.

Many home owners have struggled with their heating bills during winter and with predicted rainfall and southerly blasts still continuing to chill Marlborough, it’s no wonder people are starting to panic about their heating costs.

For those who still have not insulated, double glazed or installed a heating system into their home, there is still time to get it done and enjoy the last of winter cosy and warm.

Here are some additional tips: In a typical home a percentage of heat is lost through the floor alone, so check for gaps in floorboards and skirtings and have insulation installed.

Double glazing is essential when controlling condensation and heat loss through windows.

If you have an unused fireplace, be sure the flue is closed and glass doors are in place to minimise heat loss.

All hot water tanks should be insulated as quite a bit of heat can be lost here.

Switch and save If you’ve never changed your energy supplier, you could save a lot by switching as there are over several companies competing for your business and some may still have winter offers to help control your winter bill.

facebook.com/23GroveRoadCoffeeHouse Story and photo by Kristy Martin A dozen budding artists from Witherlea School have created an eye-catching mural with an environmental theme.

The students, aged 8-11, spent a week with local artist Mieke Hilhorst creating the colourful artwork, now displayed on a wall at the school, on Weld Street in Blenheim.

“We are so thrilled and feel privileged to have had someone like Mieke come and work with our talented artists on this mural,” arts co-ordinator Sue Holmes said.

“We are an environmental school and the mural represents the four groups of our school – ferns, kauri, punga and kowhai.”

Mieke said she enjoyed teaching the kids techniques she uses in her own work, which included using their fingers to create patterns in the paint.

“The aim was to have an impact using shapes and colours, but also to be able to appreciate the work from far away and up close,” she said.

Student Zoe Blackmore, 10, said it was like working with “sticky glue” and “felt

The students presented Mieke with flowers at an assembly last week to thank her for her co-operation.

“I’m really impressed with the school, particularly its philosophy and values.

“The staff and children have been a delight to work with,” Mieke said.

Kids say the darndest things...

My son seems to find amusement from any situation, and after hearing his excitement in the bathroom I went in to investigate.

Needless it wasn’t something I found interesting but the fact his ‘poos’ were shaped like “turtles and squirrels”, he found it very exciting.

I couldn’t help but laugh as well as wonder when the last time was he saw a squirrel?

Pootastic!

SUCCESS Passion

Commitment

Sheree Dillon Hi, my name's Sheree Dillon, and I've been hairdressing for 12 years now and still love every minute of it! I've been working out in Renwick for the last two and a half years and excited to let you all know I'm back in town, I'm working at Beau Belle in George Street.

I only use Redken products. I trust and love them! They have an awesome range of colours and styling products which are so much fun to work with. Redken are always adding to their range of styling products and colours, which keeps us at the forefront of

the latest fashions and trends.

I have a true passion for colour and love to be creative.

I’m ava i lable for appointments Tuesday through to Saturdays with late nights to suit your busy lifestyles, I will look forward to seeing you there!

Hairdressing is not just a job, it's a lifestyle and it's what I love to do!

Jennie Johnson Johnson’s Barge Service Ltd owners, Peter and Jennie Johnson, are the third generation to continue on the Johnson family business which offers a wide range of Barge services.

The company works all over the Pelorus sound, and spends a lot of time heading back and fourth to d’Urville Island, carting all sorts of cargo, including sheep and cattle. The business also specialises in mooring services.

Johnson’s Barge Services Ltd also arranges rubbish removal by supplying locally owned skips which, once filled, can be collected and taken care of.

The same applies to septic tank cleaning.

Jennie works in the office, making bookings, and arranging when and how they are going to cater for people all over the sounds, and as far away as Abel Tasman, but she doesn’t restrict herself to the office.

“I go out on the barge as much as I can. It keeps me in touch with what we do.”

It’s a job Jennie relishes, dedicating a lot of her time to the family business.

Property Management

“Working for owners, with tenants”

Klara Maloskova Property Manager

YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS Ph 03 578 0404 • 027 246 0646 klara.maloskova@summit.co.nz • www.summitrentals.co.nz

FULL BODY SpraY TaN $35 Available at all 3 salons

We use only the best quality products: including Expose, Sun FX, and Morrocan tanning solutions.

Picton: 03 573 6948 • Blenheim: 03 578 6293 • Redwood: 03 577 7640

When it comes to investment and rental property, it’s important to know it’s in the hands of a property manager who will take care of the details and strive to achieve ‘big’ results for the owner.

Property manager Klara Maloskova of Summit Real Estate uses a friendly yet ‘common sense’ approach to her management and says she has a lot to offer Blenheim property owners.

“My number one priority is working for owners with tenants in an organised and efficient manner. This way I can help to maximise your investment while making sure tenants housing standards are looked after,” she says.

Supported by the Summit team, Klara

says getting the best out of each owner’s investment is what drives her as well as offering a professional service to tenants looking for rental properties.

“I enjoy every aspect of the rental market and find the job well rewarding, particularly receiving feedback from happy owners,” she says.

Klara offers a free, no obligation appraisal to rental property owners as well as advice on how you can ‘grow’ your investment.

Rochelle Stevenson Rochelle Stevenson, owner of Beyond The Fringe Hair Salon group says the business is moving forward positively and is looking forward to new expansions in the near future.

More than 30 years ago Rochelle and husband Gerald Timms purchased her first hair salon in Picton and over time has expanded to include salons in Blenheim’s CBD and in Redwood Village.

In total she employs 15 stylists but with planned expansions set for the Picton salon Rochelle is looking to employ more. “All positive news”, she says.

“The Picton salon is expanding into its neighbouring building to incorporate a barber shop and beauty salon to be ready for October, so we

are looking for stylists in both Picton and Blenheim, and a beautician.

Training of staff is one area which Rochelle is particularly proud of, providing apprenticeships and competition opportunities to further grow her staff’s skill set, while continuing to provide quality ‘family hairdressing’.”

Beyond The Fringe is the only salon in Marlborough which is a member of the Professional Hairdressers Club and is a strong supporter of Hospice Marlborough.

Got Dirty Grout?

Are you tired of scrubbing your dirty tiles and grout with no success?

Grout is a very porous material and is rarely sealed when new so it starts to absorb dirt and bacteria from day one.

Cross country highlights

Marathon helpers sought The Marlborough Marathon is to be held on October 27 and Marlborough Harriers is looking for volunteers to marshal at the event, to be held on the Sunday of Labour Weekend. “For our effort on the Day the Club will get a substantial donation of around $1000,” says Les McKay. Volunteers would also get a complimentary water bottle, lunch, movie pass and a front row seat to all the action. “Well as it goes past their post,” he said.

He asked if volunteers could e mail me their names. “ I’ll also be twisting arms at club events, so be warned, “ he said.

He asked for emails to ron.deb. adams@actrix.co.nz or see me at a club run.

Waikawa Bay School held their annual cross country at the Beach Road Reserve last Friday.

“The children had been training hard and were looking forward to testing out their fitness against fellow students,” said principal Willlem Lampe, who described

the day as a great success.

“The course provided a real challenge and all the children had a ball.”

The best runners from the day will go on to represent their school at the Waitohi cross country at Endeavour Park this week.

Speedway open day rescheduled

Silver to Picton rower

Sunday's wet weather forced the Eastern States Speedway to cancel its 'Ministocks Open Day', and the new date is set for this Sunday, August 18 from 1pm - 3pm.

This time it will be held at the Transmar Workshop at 13 Liverpool street in the Riverlands Industrial Estate, rain or shine.

The Open Day aims to provide youth and their families with information about joining the club, and how ministocks are a great stepping stone in motorsport.

There will a number of ministocks for people to view and ask questions about.

Youth ministocks is a class for 12-16 year olds, and adults can also race in the ministock class.

Junior rower Marshall McKenzie-Moll of Picton was one of the New Zealand quadruple sculls team that won silver in the world junior rowing championships in Lithuania. Germany took gold in the event.

Marshall, now 18, has only been rowing for two seasons after injury cut short his promising motocross career.

Wairau Hospital congratulated for triage times Wairau Hospital's Emergency Department has been congratulated for consistently exceeding the national target of 95% of patients admitted, discharged or transferred to a hospital ward within six hours.

Nelson Hospital was highly ranked as well.

Chief Executive Chris Fleming said; “I

congratulate the ED teams in both Wairau and Nelson Hospitals for their consistently high ranking and their improvement in the triage times over the past year.

“This has come at a time when our EDs are under sustained pressure seeing more patients now than ever before.

"The winter season is usually a very difficult time for our EDs as winter illness

fills our Medical Wards and admitting patients into wards that are near capacity is a challenge that staff meet every day.

“Therefore congratulations also goes to everyone who contributes to this coordinated system."

Each patient who enters ED is assigned a triage category from one to five based on their clinical need.

Promote your business in The Sun...

The latest triage figures show that in Wairau Hospital all five triage times are being met, and in Nelson there is further work to be done with Triage 3 patients who are assessed as needing to be seen within 30 minutes. Currently this was met 72.46% of the time whereas the target is 75%.

Triathlon attracts Get down to . . . former World No1 Former World No 1, Olympic triathlete and super mum Samantha Warriner will take part in this year’s Jules Taylor Marlborough Women’s Triathlon.

Race organisers have revealed that Samantha, husband Steven and daughter Lola will travel to Marlborough for the December 1st event.

“It’s going to be a great weekend,” says Samantha.

“A cool event to be part of plus Marlborough’s food and wine to enjoy.

What could be better?” she said.

Samantha won seven ITU World Cup events and in 2008 she won the ITU World Cup series overall.

She competed in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games and won a Silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

In recent years Samantha has had success at longer distance triathlons.

She moved to endurance distances in 2009 with IRONMAN 70.3 wins in Geelong, Steelhead and the Port of Tauranga Half. She went on to win four more in 2010 before her debut victory at IRONMAN New Zealand in 2011. In June this year, she won IRONMAN 70.3 in Cairns, just nine months after the birth of her daughter, Lola.

Samantha ‘turned pro’ at 34, after mixing life as an elite athlete with a career as a secondary school teacher.

In 2008 she started Sweat 7 Coaching, which specialises in helping women reach triathlon goals.

Now 42, she's keen to prove to herself and to other mums that the birth of a child should not mean the end to exercise.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, having a family changes your priorities.

And it’s harder to fit all the things you want to do in the day,” says Samantha.

This weekend Samantha is compet-

ing in the Samoa 70.3 half ironman, before heading to Europe to contest similar events.

Sponsor Jules Taylor commented that she’s delighted Samantha will take part. “Well, actually I’m a bit awe-struck.

She’s a legend,” said Jules. “It will be great to have her there

encouraging us.”

The Jules Taylor Marlborough Women’s Triathlon has a 5.5km run, 14km cycle and a 100m swim.

Samantha said she wanted to encourage local women to sign up for the event.
