Top marks Principal elated with results

By Glenise Dreaver

“ I’ll put my head above the parapet and say that our levels of achievement for Maori at NCEA Level 1 and Level 2 are probably better than any school in New Zealand,” says Queen Charlotte College Principal Tom Parsons.

He is delighted by the school’s results in the National Certificates in Educational Achievement (NCEA) and also by the draft Educational Review Office (ERO) report to be published in a fortnight’s time.

The ERO report is always sent to schools before it is published to ensure there are no errors of fact, and Mr Parsons, having just seen it, is elated by its content.

“It says splendid things,” he said.

Springlands resident Marita Winstanley witnessed a show of humanity on Tuesday, when a group of people and a number of cars stopped to assist a mother duck and her ducklings which had fallen into a drain on Nelson Street.

Marita said she had seen the mother duck walk with her ducklings each year, making the treacherous journey from Lakings Road, across the busy Nelson Street Road heading toward Fulton Creek.

This time however six of the ducklings fell into a drain, and in her moment of need members of the public rallied to help.

“It was an incredible sight. A dozen or so people and four cars stopped to help retrieve these fluffy wee ducklings while the worried mother duck watched helplessly,” Marita said.

A Morgan Plumbing Van was flagged down to help lift the grate over the drain and spent “several minutes” trying to reach them but in the end the SPCA was called to fish them out with a net borrowed by the Springlands Vet. During the rescue the mother duck had two ducklings with her which had ventured

onto the road. Marita said despite her best efforts an oncoming four wheel drive vehicle refused to stop and ran over the ducklings.

“It was so upsetting. This young man saw me waving out to stop but he gave me the fingers and drove straight over the

ducklings. It was very sad,” she said.

Finally the surviving six ducklings were safely returned to their mother who was helped to safety across the road.

“I just wanted to thank everyone who stopped to help. It was a real heart warming moment,” Marita said.

Principal elated by results

By Glenise Dreaver Continued from Page 1. clear expectations for behaviour and student safety, “it notes that we continue to achieve well above the national targets for NCEA and also notes the high levels of achievement of our Maori students.”

Mr Parsons says they well exceed the Minister of Education’s national target for secondary education, which is to have an 85 per cent success rate of all students 18 years of age at NCEA Level 2.

The national average for Level 2 is currently sitting below that goal, at 75 per cent.

QCC is however, running at 88 per cent, with their 31 per cent of Maori students scoring a colossal 92 per cent success rate. This is compared to the national average of 69 per cent for Maori students.

The picture continues at NCEA Level 3, said Mr Parsons.

“The national goal is a 72 per cent success rate for all candidates, and we are 74 per cent of the national average.

“Normally, the higher the decile level of the school, the better the success rate, but we are doing better than many. The rigour of QCC is unquestionable.”

At 93 per cent and 90 per cent, the school’s literacy and numeracy levels at Level 1 also exceed the average for decile 4 schools by nearly 15 per cent.

(The 95 per cent success rate for QCC, for Maori students, is actually two per cent ahead of the school’s own average for all its students.)

Despite the impressive figures, Mr Parsons regrets that “data is now king”.

“We should be past that, looking at the faces behind it.

“It is important to look at the number who get meaningful jobs, for example.”

More women stand for council

By Kristy Martin Nineteen candidates have put their names forward for the Blenheim Ward, meaning at least a dozen will miss out on a seat on the Marlborough District Council. While that number was reasonably high in the lead up to today’s cut-off, council electoral officer Dean Heiford said

the figure was in line with previous years.

He said there were 18 candidates in the Blenheim Ward in the 2010 Local Body Elections, and 20 in 2007. But whether any more would come in before noon today, when nominations officially close, he could not say.

“It seems to be always

around that mark.

“If we had a surge between now and tomorrow (Friday) then I’d be scratching my head.”

However, Mr Heiford did say there was a notable increase in the number of female candidates this year.

“We’ve got two in the Wairau/Awatere Ward, which is a first I think,

and I’m pretty sure that is the most we’ve had for the Blenheim Ward by far.”

The Sun will publish the full list of nominations in our next edition.

Clubs bring seniors together

More than 260 seniors, many from out of town, have spent two days in Blenheim playing games and sports, socialising and exploring the area.

The lively group was in town for the annual Seniors Multi Club Get Together, a social gathering for over-55s from the top of the south island and north to New Plymouth.

The two-day event, hosted by Clubs of Marlborough’s Golden Oldies group, featured indoor bowls, cards and pool on Tuesday followed by tours of local wineries and visits to the Aviation Heritage Centre on Wednesday.

There were lunches, raffles and prize givings and club members from Petone, New Plymouth and Palmerston North reported having a wonderful time.

“The aviation museum was great and so was the chocolate factory,” said Brian Nokes of Petone Workmans Club.

Anglers praise increase on snapper limits Recreational sea anglers have praised government proposals to increase the bag limits for snapper in the Marlborough Sounds.

Government has listed as one option for the Marlborough Sounds an increase in the daily bag from three snapper to five. The Marlborough

Recreational Fishers' Association in submissions agreed to an increase, but have suggested six.

MRFA spokesman Laurie Stevenson of Picton said an increase would restore justice and equality after 17 years when in 1997, the bag limit was slashed from 10 to three

with no matching reduction in the commercial catch quota.

"That reduction in 1997 was a rammed through in an undemocratic manner and was very unfair," he said.

"It has rankled with anglers ever since."

Truck hits cow At 5.20pm on Tuesday Kaikoura Police attended a traffic accident on SH1, Hapuka, Kaikoura. A truck travelling on SH1 hit a cow that had escaped from its paddock. The vehicle sustained minor frontal damage and the cow died at the scene.

Quake-damaged homes assessed The Earthquake Commission has confirmed that assessments following last month’s earthquake cluster will begin on Monday.

EQC General Manager Customer Services, Bruce Emson, says 20 assessment teams will be split between the lower North and upper South Island and will start assessing damage to homes, land and contents from next week.

It is expected to take three to six months to complete assessment of all claims, depending on final claim numbers. A timeframe for completing settlement of claims is still being developed. So far, just over 4400 claims have been lodged, with roughly three-quarters in the lower North Island and one-quarter in the upper South Island.

hospital arrest At 8.20pm on Tuesday a 28 year old unemployed male was taken into custody when Police were called to the Wairau Hospital A & E department to assist with a agitated intoxicated male. He was held in custody and released when sober and calm.

A visualisation of what the new Babich Winery will look like.

$Multimillion eco-friendly winery coming soon

By Kristy Martin Wine tanks have begun to be installed at the new multimillion dollar Babich Winery in Blenheim, which is set to boast a number of innovative and eco-friendly features.

A heat recycling system, passive wine cooling and a neutral colour scheme to blend the building in with the natural surroundings are just some of the features of the new business.

Construction began back in April on the 4000sqm winery in the Cloudy Bay Business Park, just south of town on State Highway 1.

Auckland-based Babich

Wines are the landowners, while Apollo Projects’ Marlborough team is leading the charge when it comes to design and construction.

Apollo’s senior project manager Phil Martin said construction was fast-tracked because, being in an industrial zone, resource consent was not needed.

“Unlike other wineries, which can take up to 12 months, this one is going to be ready in eight,” Mr Martin said.

“It is on track, even with the wind and rain. It is actually ahead of schedule.”

The site’s fully-insulated winery tank area will have the

ability to store up to 2.8 million litres of wine.

Mr Martin explained that the winery features a number of energy efficient designs, including a heat recovery system that takes waste heat - a by-product from the refrigeration system - and pumps it through to the tanks to provide warm glycol for processing and hot water for wash down.

“Energy costs are one of the single biggest hurdles when it comes to wine production,” Mr Martin said.

“With this system, it’s basically getting energy for nothing.”

Every last detail of the plan has been carefully considered, from the placement of indoor wine tanks to better showcase the product to clients, right through to the selection of an exterior colour scheme that will allow the building to blend in with its surrounding environment.

“The client (Babich) gave us an outline of what they wanted and the rest has been designed

by Apollo’s Marlboroughbased team,” Mr Martin explained.

The winery is set to open in December 2013 and will process the 2014 vintage.

WoF changes for 2014 Changes to the Warrant of Fitness system will mean all light vehicles registered between 2004 and 2008 will be required to have an annual, rather than six-monthly, inspection.

Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee said changes to the system are to be introduced in two stages from next year and are expected to save New Zealanders $1.8 billion over 30 years.

The changes to inspections involving vehicles first registered between 2004 and 2008 will begin on January 1, 2014.

From July 1, 2014, annual inspections will be extended to include all light vehicles first registered anywhere on or after January 2000.

“Also from this date new vehicles will receive an initial inspection, another one when they’re three years old, then annual inspections for their lifetime,” Mr Brownlee said.

“Vehicles first registered anywhere before 1 January 2000 will remain on six-monthly inspections for their lifetime.

Cleaning up the Taylor River waterway Clean water is a priority for the Marlborough District Council so it is taking steps to improve the water quality in the Taylor River.

As a first step, it will be assessing the water quality of both the Taylor River and its major rural tributary, Doctor’s Creek. Council water scientists will examine the land use factors influencing water quality in these waterways and look for ways to reduce or manage any effects.

The project is in two parts: • The Taylor River Characterisation Study will investigate water quality in the Taylor Catchment below the Doctor’s Creek confluence.

• Downstream of the Doctor’s Creek confluence, the Stormwater Monitoring Network Project will investigate Peter Hamill takes water samples from the Fairhall Co-Op Drain on Bells Road, the effect of urban stormwater on the Taylor River which feeds into the Taylor River. water quality.

Maintaining Marlborough’s historic and notable trees Marlborough has many introduced trees dating back to the early days of settlement of the district.

Some of the oldest examples are the huge eucalypts believed to have been put in as marker pegs. Generally considered the largest in the district is a white gum, or Manna gum, Eucalyptus viminalis, thought to have been planted at Woodbourne by Henry Godfrey about 1857 and now more than 300cm in diameter. Others thought to be marker peg examples are Burleigh Park’s giant Manna gum and the magnificent specimen on the edge of SH1 at the southern approach to Spring Creek.

Other exotics, particularly those in public spaces, were planted to mark momentous events in the district or official visits by royalty. Some fine examples can be seen in Seymour Square. Once a swamp, the hectare of

The older trees still there include the cypresses near the pathways, planted in 1912, and the pin oak, Quercus palustris, which spreads its branches across the north-west point of the Square, at the Henry and Alfred Street corner. Planted in 1920 by Edward, Prince of Wales, later to become, briefly, Edward VIII, the oak tree is now more than 18-metres high.

Magic production Dear Ed, I was so lucky to be able to attend the combined College's production of Jesus Christ Super Star last saturday afternoon. I was absolutely 'Blown Away, Gob-smacked and transported' by the quality of the performance. My faith in the youth

In the words of an 80 year old Thank you for the magic.

GCSB Dear Ed It's been said many times if we give up freedom at any cost, especially for security, we will lose both.

Fact: that NSA is spying and hoovering up our meta data and contents of all communication and storing it in big computers.

Fact: in the British and German papers it's reported that the NSA US Govt paid the British GCHQ over 100,000 million pounds for access to UK citizens.

The collusion would appear to be throughout the EU and most of the world. The GCSB is a spy network

previously responsible for overseas intelligence.

This Bill is changing that to spying on New Zealand citizens. In 2003 and 2008 under Labour and National Governments, investigative journalists were part of the list of security risks.

Freedom of the Press.

If the US or UK or anyone else has access to our data, then a warrant is a worthless safeguard.

This is not about Security This is about leverage on freedom of speech and private property.

Clean and green?

Dear Ed New Zealand 100% pure has been shown a sham. So it's clean and green but is that credible?

A Ministry for the Environment report says over 60 per cent of rivers monitored are unsafe for swimming described as "poor" or "very poor" in quality.

But Government says the report is encouraging! C'mon Mr Key as tourism minister and Ms Adams as conservation minister!

New Zealand has 4.3m people,

less than the individual population of Australian cities, e.g. Greater Sydney, Greater Melbourne.

Marlborough is not immune. The Taylor River's quality has degraded alarmingly. Why? Does Council know?

What chemicals are sprayed around vineyards and along Spring Creek's tributaries?

With local elections due, let's hope there's some new faces with an environmental awareness.

INTRODUCING HARVEY NORMAN’S NEW RANGE OF EVERYDAY

Ferrets used to check for TB in Marlborough More than 530 ferrets in the Marlborough district have been trapped and submitted for post mortem to check for any signs of bovine tuberculosis (TB).

Due to their scavenging habits, ferrets can pick up TB from infected wild animal carcasses and can pass onto farmed cattle and deer. They can also potentially reveal where the disease may still be present in the possum population.

Nationally, ground-based methods, such as trapping and hand-laid toxins, account for around 80 per cent of TBfree New Zealand’s wild animal control work.

Once the post mortem results have been con-

firmed, including whether any ferrets are found to have TB, the operation will help identify if there is a need for future possum control in Marlborough. The ferret trapping took place over about 135,000 hectares.

TBfree New Zealand Northern South Island Programme Manager Matt Hickson said ferret trapping also helps indicate where buffer zones are required to prevent infected wild animals from spreading TB into areas that are either free of the disease or working towards its eradication.

The location of the traps and where the ferrets were caught was recorded using hand-held GPS

devices. If an animal is found to be infected, this information is linked back to where they were caught and used to plan future TB control.

“We greatly appreciate the co-operation of landowners when it comes to allowing TBfree New Zealand contractors onto their properties to set and check the traps,” Mr Hickson said.

Under the national TB control plan, the TBfree New Zealand programme aims to rid the disease from at least 2.5 million hectares, one quarter of this TB risk area by 2026.

Hundreds set to attend national wine conference Only 40 years ago, the first grapevines destined for the modern New Zealand wine industry were planted in Marlborough.

In two weeks, more than 550 grape growers, winemakers, industry leaders and trade personnel will converge in the district to attend the annual conference.

The Romeo Bragato conference is New Zealand’s most important for the grape-growing and wine sector, and is named after one of the early pioneers of the industry.

The conference will be held in Blenheim at the Marlborough Convention Centre from 28-30 August, with Rabobank once again providing top-tier sponsorship.

While Marlborough participants comprise more than half of all attendees, industry representatives from around the country will descend en-masse in Blenheim for the three-day event.

“Last year, we booked more than 200 nights at local hotels and motels,” said New Zealand Winegrowers general manager of research, Dr Simon Hooker.

“And the awards dinner was attended by 320 people – all drinking locally made wine and eating, where possible, local produce.”

Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman will be attending the event for the first time, but he is already well aware of the million-dollar boost the Bragato conference gives the local economy.

"We’re always keen to see conference delegates in our town at what can otherwise be a pretty quiet time of the year for our shops and cafes.

WORD

Friday August 16, 2013

Some good news for a change What a delight it was to see TV1 lead its 6pm news on Tuesday with a report of Valerie Adams winning her fourth consecutive world championship gold medal.

It made a change from Fonterra’s dirty pipe debacle, the latest homicide and other depressing stories which can be dished up to us every evening.

With her win in Moscow, Adams has now become the greatest shot putter in the athletics history but watching her, even before she tosses the shot, it does not come as a surprise because she looks so vastly more athletic than her opposition.

Shot putting is about power, strength, agility and speed in the circle and Adams, unlike her rivals, has the lot.

Barring injury, loss of motivation or the emergence of someone matching her athleticism, she could be reigning for another 10 years.

If you’re a rugby fan you should be happy this weekend with the All Blacks meeting the Wallabies in the first of the Bledisloe tests and the ITM Cup kicking off.

As far as Marlborough is concerned, however, it could be a fair bet to say most interest locally will be in the final of the Press Cup inter-secondary schools first XV competition which will be played

by Marlborough Boys’ College and Nelson College in Blenheim tomorrow.

Reports from Christchurch indicate that the performances of the Top of the South schools have surprised some of the ‘Old Firm” outfits down there. It’s the first time a Cantab school has not made the final!

In the ITM Cup, Tasman travels down to Invercargill to take on Southland. The TAB rates Southland a better chance of taking the championship than Tasman but one learned sportswriter is tipping

a Tasman win on Saturday.

I’m sure Tasman would like to see that outcome eventuate but they’ll be doing extremely well if they return with a win.

Dan Carter’s omission from the All Blacks for the Bledisloe opener against the Wallabies tomorrow has seen the Chiefs pivot, Aaron Cruden slotted into first-five, “seamlessly,” if you believe the media reports.

In general play Cruden is a class act without a doubt but his goal kicking can be a bit wobbly. This didn’t prevent one expert I read this week stating that Cruden’s test record suggested his sometimes inconsistent goal kicking was only a minor problem.

I hope so but the thing is goal kicks win matches.

Ask a St Bede’s College player who, if he had slotted a 35 metres plum in front sitter against Nelson College in the dying minutes of their match last weekend, would

Chris Tobin

have made a St Bede’sMarlborough Boys’ Press Cup final tomorrow.

But it isn’t.

A nd what happened to Tiger Woods in the USPGA last weekend?

The week before the media was showering him with accolades as he trounced the field at the Bridgestone Invitational to win by seven shots.

At t he USP GA last weekend, however, Woods was buried in the pack and hardly rated a mention.

Golf can be a cruel sport.

Showdown for old rivals

By Kristy Martin Excitement is mounting over tomorrow’s highly-anticipated Press Cup final between Marlborough Boys’ College First XV and Nelson First XV. The local boys have been training hard and are hoping to secure victory over their neighbouring rivals during the home game at Lansdowne Park.

Marlborough Boys coach Gray Cornelius said fans could be in for a thrilling match, as the two top of the south teams had clashed earlier this season and the result was a draw.

Being neighbours also added to the ferocity of the competition.

“Most of the boys have played each other before as they’ve come up through the ranks,” he said.

“The boys are pretty excited.

“They’ve been training hard and working very hard.

“If we play as well as we can I’m sure we can win.”

The team have decided not to attend tonight’s college formal in favour of being in peak condition for the game. Their coach said this proved their dedication to the sport.

“That was the decision they made. Some of them have worked very hard for this for a number of years.”

Fans are being urged to head along and show their support by dressing in blue and gold.

“Hopefully there will be a big crowd,” Mr Cornelius said.

“I’m sure there will be plenty of Nelson people coming over Marlborough Boys player Chad Ternent slips through a tackle. The for it as well.” team will take on Nelson Boys College tomorrow in the Press Cup Kick off is at 2.30pm.
