WE’VE BEEN CARING FOR THE FAMILIES OF MARLBOROUGH SINCE 1869.

By Celeste Lodewyk Bohally Intermediate School students put their pens down and picked up paintbrushes, hammers and glue guns on Monday for the school’s three day long ‘Art Attack’ project.

All students and teachers have been busy creating stunningly colourful art pieces which will be displayed on the outside of the school’s buildings.

There are mosaics, large mural paintings, Pasifika designs and kiwiana themed art among the works.

Maxine set for rocking performance

By Celeste Lodewyk When 14-year-old Maxine Kemp sings on stage she is normally delivering a beautiful classical song, but for the 2014 Spring Creek Lions and Districts Stars In Your Eyes Show next month she will be performing as punk rocker Avril Lavigne.

Maxine, who has been classically trained since the age of nine-years is no stranger to the stage and admits that she loves a challenge.

“Everything about this show is challenging, from singing the way Avril does right through to creating her look.

“I thought Avril’s style really stood out and that it would be fun to imitate her.

“I even spent over an hour at the hairdressers having my hair straightened and getting some styling tips,” she laughed.

Maxine will be singing the Canadian singer-songwriter’s hit single ‘Sk8er Boi’, and will embrace the singer’s energetic performance.

“She jumps around and flicks her hair a lot so it’s going to be a little nerve wracking to put on a rock show, but I think it will be fun,” she said.

Each of the nine contestants have nominated a Marlborough based charity which will receive the prize money won from the show.

Maxine has nominated Crossroads Charitable Trust.

The 2014 Spring Creek Lions and Districts Stars In Your Eyes Show will be held at the Marlborough Convention Centre. The preview show is on June 5 and costs $40 per ticket and the finals awards show is on June 6 and costs $110 per ticket.

Tickets can be purchased from the Harcourts Real Estate office.

Man charged for tavern break-in

Bohally’s art attack unleashes creativity Continued from page 1 Deputy Principal Jo Goodsir said all the students were ‘hyped’ and enthusiastic to be involved and she was more than impressed with their efforts and dedication.

“This is really special for them as the project is their own. They will be able to look back on what they

did and take pride in what they accomplished.

“We are all very impressed with what they have created,” she said.

Students have worked with everything from driftwood through to corrugated iron and the art will hopefully be in place in two weeks time.

A 22-year-old man has been charged with burglary and two others remanded without plea, after an incident at the Redwood Tavern on Saturday morning.

The Blenheim District Court heard Troy Maddock, 22, admit to breaking into the Tavern at 3:30am on the night in question and stealing $593

dollars of alcohol.

Maddock was also charged with theft relating to a separate incident, and has been remanded for sentencing on July 7.

His alleged associates, Troy Emmett, 19, and Dameon Pullan, 21, will reappear on June 9 and June 3 respectively.

Theatre over a year from completion

The Sun

FERRY OUT OF DRYDOCK The Interislander Ferry Aratere is out of drydock in Singapore, as preparations are made for its voyage home.

The ferry returned to the water on Friday and further tests on its seaworthiness are expected to be completed early next month.

The ferry is expected to be back in service here by the end of June.

Meanwhile, one of the investigations into two Interislander masters who were stood down has been completed, with the master in question reinstated.

The other investigation is ongoing.

The new theatre from the Hutcheson Street side. Left: Project manager Tim Smit at the site.

By Adam Poulopoulos Construction on the new ASB theatre is continuing, but it will probably be at least another year before the project reaches its conclusion.

For the next few months, work will continue on the main concrete structure, before the focus

shifts to the interior fitout.

Project manager Tim Smit said the project was “about 20 per cent through,” but progress would gather pace now.

“From now, and for the next few months, people on the outside will see it grow very quickly.”

He said the crane currently

on-site would build around itself, and then be walked out at the end.

Mr Smit added more work had to be done on the walls already built for the fly tower, which have only reached about 40 per cent of their final height.

Construction on the new 700seat theatre began early last year.

Sailing scouts off to America

By Adam Poulopoulos A pair of local Venturers are off to America to represent New Zealand out on the water.

Nicholas Gardiner, 15, and Seren Adams, 16, of Marlborough Venturers, will sail in the William I. Koch International Sea Scouts Cup at Long Beach, California.

The competition begins on June 22, and includes 20 teams of two sailors, with half the teams from the US and half based internationally.

Nick and Seren qualified for the regatta after holding off six other crews to win the Roger Horton Trophy in Lyttleton in September last year.

Nick, who has been involved in scouts for eight years, said the duo were happy when they qualified for

the American tournament.

“There was a two-day trial and we were coming second after the first day.

“We came back and got first, and, and we were quite happy with ourselves.

“We sailed really consistently.”

He said he was nervous ahead of the trip, particularly for his commitments off the water.

“Every one of the international crews has to do a country presentation, and we’re doing a haka.

“I’m hoping we don’t make fools of ourselves!”

The pair leave New Zealand on June 19 and return on July 7.

They hope to get in some travelling before heading home.

No application for Picton pool

Hayden charged Richard James Hayden, formerly of Blenheim, has been charged with endangering people’s safety after an incident in Christchurch almost two months ago.

Hayden, 46, let his horse run free in Christchurch city on April 7, leading to its death after it was hit by a car.

The vehicle’s driver suffered minor injuries.

Hayden was remanded on bail, and will appear again at Christchurch District Court on June 10.

Museum re-opens Over 70 people turned out to the Havelock Museum on Saturday to have a look at its re-design.

Nelson-based Sally Papps spoke about how she had come to the design she had, while geologist Dr Mike Johnston spoke about Havelock’s history.

Queen Charlotte College provided afternoon tea as a fundraiser for an upcoming trip to Japan.

Planning for the refurbishment had been ongoing since 2007.

Josef

said the group had taken the idea as far as they could.

“We’re tired, and without the Council engaging with the community its not going to get anywhere.

“We were told we needed a councillor and a sponsor, but without them it’s not going anywhere.”

In 2004 the PPCT formed after the ‘listening walls’ initiative, which encouraged the public to list what they felt the town needed most.

The old Waitohi rugby ground was named as the number one site option if the project went ahead.

Ms Harvey said the Queen Charlotte College outdoor pool, the only public pool in Picton, was not enough to meet demand.

“I had to try and get my three kids to Blenheim after school for lessons, and swimming issues should not be a big issue in a maritime town.

“There are also people with arthritis and other ailments, sportspeople and tourists who could use the facility.

“Alexandra and Richmond both have pools, and as soon as they got built they found they were too small because everyone was using them.”

The PPCT were told the project would cost $8 million, half from Council and half from fundraising.

On the issue, Council support services manager Dean Heiford said the pool was removed from the plan due to affordability issues.

“There’s the capital that would be needed to build it, and the ongoing operating cost that would need to be funded by Picton ratepayers.

“The Blenheim Aquatic Centre is funded by entry fees, and for a population of Picton’s size it’s hard to afford an all-weather pool.”

He said when the pool was removed from the plan, sewerage issues, water supply and the Endeavour Park development were higher-priority issues.

By Adam Poulopoulos A Picton group will not apply to the Marlborough District Council for a pool in the town this year, as they believe it will be ignored again.

The Picton Pool Centre Trust has submitted for the heated indoor pool in several of the Council’s recent plans, and had it added to the Long Term Council Community Plan in 2010.

Last year, the submission was removed from the plan, with the Trust believing it was because those in Council who supported the idea have left.

Now, they say they will not apply again.

Trust member Juliette Wiseman said despite the clear need for the pool, the Council did not pay enough attention to the idea.

“The Council is based in Blenheim, but they don’t care about Picton.

“They string you along and claim they’ll fund the pool, but they’re just messing us around.”

By Adam Poulopoulos Two Picton veterans returned home on Saturday night after heading back to Monte Cassino for commemoration services earlier this month.

Trevor Perry, a tank driver, and spitfire pilot Laurence ‘Bunty’ Bunt were the only representatives from the Top of the South in the 38-strong New Zealand veteran party.

They attended a ceremony for the fallen New Zealanders at Cassino’s railway station, and a larger function for the Commonwealth soldiers at the cemetery.

It is 70 years since Cassino was demolished in a number of allied assaults.

Mr Perry said the trip was taxing, but he was glad he went.

strenuous but not as much as that. We had no time for any sightseeing or shopping.

“I glad I went, but would I go again? Maybe if I was 10 or 15

years younger.”

Mr Perry said he was struck by the numbers who turned out to the services, which were attended by dignitaries including

Prince Harry and GovernorGeneral Sir Jerry Mateparae.

He said Cassino had changed dramatically since the war.

“It’s quite a big town now.

Before it was bombed there were about 4500 people, but now it’s closer to 30,000.

“A lot of tourists go there and make a pilgrimage to the grave site.”

Mr Perry paid tribute to the nurses and other support staff after about a third of the veterans were hit by a stomach bug before the ceremonies.

“It would not have been half the trip it was if it hadn’t been for them.”

New Zealand’s casualty tally from the battle was 1695: 343 dead, 1211 wounded and 42 prisoners of war.

Vote on final winner The Yealands Estate Marlborough Gallery will continue to exhibit the 63 finalist entries from the Peters Doig Marlborough Art Awards until June 15 when an afternoon tea will be held and the winner of the ‘People’s Choice’ award is announced.

Anyone visiting the gallery can

place their vote for this final award and the artist who receives the most votes will win.

All the art on exhibition is for sale and can be viewed during the gallery’s opening hours, Monday Sunday from 10:30am to 4pm.

Forty-eight people across the Tasman Police District will be facing charges as a result of the annual cannabis recovery Operation Lucy.

After carrying out 38 search warrants this year 5266 plants were recovered, along with a further 17kg of dried plant material.

Police also seized firearms and a significant amount of ammunition along with $10,000 in cash during the operation.

Operation commander sergeant Rob Crawford said Police found 172 cannabis plantations as a result of information gathered.

He said there was a significant increase in plants located in Marlborough in the Havelock and Wairau Valley areas this season.

Sergeant Crawford said the plants recovered were also in much better condition than those

found the previous season, which was the result of more favourable growing conditions through the summer.

He said the recovery phase of the operation was greatly assisted by the Air Force providing its Iroquois helicopter.

Sergeant Crawford said Police were grateful for the information received from the public during the year that contributed to the operation.

“Rural people suffer a lot of loss and damage when there are cannabis growers in the area.

Fences are damaged, diesel gets stolen and freezers get emptied.

We know that if we can make life difficult for growers, crime in those areas will decrease.”

Sergeant Crawford said people who passed on information about suspicious activity were always dealt with in the strictest of confidence.

While Police are discovering more and more indoor growing operations, outdoor plantations were still a popular option across the Tasman District due to the climate and accessibility.

By Adam Poulopoulos Displays and a commemorative wall have been included as proposals in the restoration of the Tua Marina Trinity Methodist Church.

The 139-year-old Church was moved to its new location at the Brayshaw Park Heritage Village in April after it was donated to Marlborough Museum by the church parish.

The Marlborough Historical Society met earlier this week to discuss the building’s future.

Early ideas for the church’s future function include museum displays on its history and opening it for community use.

Marlborough Museum chief executive Steve Austin said the historical displays were open for discussion.

“This is a great project the Museum and Historical Society are leading, but with help from the community.”

An added possibility was a wall commemorating all the Marlburians who participated in the First World War. “Around Marlborough there are various walls of honour, but they tend to announce those that died in the War,” Austin said.

“There were others who served in the War, like the nurses, that the wall would also commemorate.”

The Marlborough Historical Museum had been looking for a church to place in the Heritage Village for a while.

The vestry is placed on the old church.

The 1875 church was superceded by a new adjacent church building in 1934, and it was used in a variety of ways for the next 75 years, including as a meeting room and an art studio.

“It’s the second-oldest church in Marlborough,” Mr Austin said.

“It looks great in the park. It’s been a complicated engineering process but we’re very excited

about the next steps.”

The Church’s new roof was placed on the building last week, while the original vestry was reattached yesterday.

Currently the Historical Society is also looking for new interior furnishings, like pews and a bell, and replacing parts of the church that need to be removed with new authentic-looking materials.

By Adam Poulopoulos Police are reminding locals to take more care after a spate of unlocked vehicles were raided at the weekend.

Between Friday night and Monday morning six unlocked vehicles were rummaged through in five separate incidents.

Property, including wallets and a laptop, was stolen.

Blenheim community constable Russ Smith said the amount of similar incidents was not unusual, but they were imploring people to take more care.

“The police are very disappointed with people still leaving their vehicles insecure and those who haven’t got the message to remove valuables from their vehicles.

“There are people out there who try to steal things, and if you’re not careful, you will become a victim.”

Tasman District Police communications manager Barbara Dunn said the offending was often opportunist in nature.

“Don’t make it easy for people. Lock your car and don’t leave your valuables visible.”

Get plenty of exercise, keep warm and eat regularly.

I read somewhere the problem in winter is the amount of time we spend inside. So put on a jacket, get outside and get some fresh air.

Eat well, keep warm, and get plenty of fresh air.

Lots of garlic in everything!

And vicks. It fixes the world.

Probably just commonsense, like washing your hands.

I think the stress is the biggest thing, and it’s important to eat well.

Sport gambling Dear Ed, There really is a lot in the news about the gambling tied up with cricket.

But wait, why just cricket couldn’t other sports be involved.

I think they should all be looked at.

New Zealand has a bad reputation for gambling, they don’t do it for fun.

Its a means to get money and some times great amounts of so called easy money.

Letters to the editor

Well done Dear Ed, I wish to congratulate Dr. John Welch for his excellent response to a letter from ‘Blenheim Mum’ ( May 14 ) concerning her choice not to immunize her child/children.

What an absolute literary masterpiece Dr. Welch’s letter was.

I don’t know Dr. Welch from a bar of soap, but can only say he is wasting his time in the medical profession.

I read, and reread his letter in awe.

Brilliant.

Perhaps Dr. Welch could be persuaded to start texting to ‘text talk’ on a regular basis.

With any luck, that would mean at least one text a week that I could read and make sense of.

Rather unfortunately, I too have never received a bribe from pharmaceutical companies, but could they please note that I would come a lot cheaper than Dr. Welch.

Vaccination response Dear Ed, In reply to Dr. John Welsh’s letter (April 21st) regarding immunisation.

I respect & value your opinion.

My opinion is valid too, & it has been formed over 15 years from extensive research, experience & qualifications in natural medicine.

I have read the research that all of us are meant to read & that which some would prefer we didn’t.

I was taught an area of medicine by a doctor who had a dim view of vaccines, because after being ordered to issue the flu vaccine to the Iranian Army, most of them fell sick with the flu.

That same doctor also vaccinated his first child, who consequently got the whooping cough straight away.

He then decided not to vaccinate his second.

If you are vaccinated against the Whooping cough then why did it not protect you recently?

Many people interested in real health would understand that immunity begins in the gut - where the most immune cells in the body are located, & that supporting the gut flora (such as with acidophilus) is one of the best ways to encourage a good immune response.

At the end of the day, each parent will make their own choice based on what they think is best & that is their right.

An important point to get from this discussion is that there is more to vaccination than just doing as you are told.

It is about weighing up the pros & cons.

Can the MMR cause autism? I’d say probably not.

But could it be a trigger in an immune compromised child? Perhaps.

I couldn’t bring myself to take that risk.

Blenheim mum.

Racing in his blood The Marshall family has played an integral part in Marlborough’s speedway history, spanning from the days of Eastern States Speedway’s establishment through to present day success on the track.

Celeste Lodewyk talks to one of the younger members of the family, Gavin Marshall (the Jester) who is regarded as one of the country’s best ‘blockmen’ in New Zealand stock car racing.

Gavin ended the previous speedway season on a high note, being named Sportsperson of the Year at the Eastern States Speedway club prizegiving two weeks ago.

Since then he has continued to quietly tinker away at his Riverlands based workshop where he operates his business Speedworld Automotive, building his new stock car and transport bus for the up and coming 2014-2015 speedway season beginning in October.

With endless hours of engineering and mechanical work ahead of him just to be ready for the season’s opening, I ask Gavin what drives him to pursue the sport.

“My dad, Paul Marshall and other members of our family helped to build the Eastern States Speedway (ESS) complex, and from a young age my sister Carla and I would watch him race.

“He raced what was then called Scramble Cars which were the forerunner of what we know as stock cars. We both became pitcrew for dad and it all started from there for me,” he says.

Gavin began in the street stock class in an EX Falcon and went on to race for three seasons. He managed an impressive sixth place in the New Zealand Street Stock title racing a ZL Ford Fairlane in the 2005 2006 season.

Following on from that Gavin switched to stock cars and purchased an ex Nelson super stock chassis and converted it.

With the first stock car season under his belt he set about designing and building his own car which was the first to have Gavin’s own ‘touch’, with the engine mounted on the ‘wrong’ side.

The engine’s weight distribution on what was considered the ‘wrong side’ soon proved very quick and stable in corners, and became a valuable tool for the club’s newly formed ESS Titans stock car team.

The Titans quickly made a name for themselves as a formidable force on the track and was then that Gavin’s design work on his stock car became noticed, particularly when he was one of the last remaining cars in the race.

Strength and speed was important for Gavin’s position as blocker and hitter, enabling his team mates to get through to the finish line.

“The most fun I had in the early Titans days was in a non qualifying race where myself and Ralph Gillespie were the last of the South Island cars standing in

the finals. That was a huge buzz, but then we were hammered and didn’t finish,” he laughs.

In 2008 Gavin enjoyed an incredible feat with the Titans when they won third place at the NZ Teams Championships, beating off the country’s best and earning the respect of the other teams.

Gavin went on to enjoy more success in 2011 when he placed second in the teams championships, and described last year’s War of the Stocks a “big eye opening”.

“I was the only ESS driver to go and it was definitely an experience,” he laughs.

“I went OK despite some minor mechanical problems but these are all things I will be improving on with the new car.”

Gavin is now working on the design and build of his newest project, a chrome molly tube chassis, lightweight and strong, with a newly built Falcon AU engine.

Last season he says he clocked up nearly 12,000 km traveling to various events around NZ and is look ing forward to the Teams Championships in Rotorua as well as the South Island Championships in Cromwell.

Not all sparks are romantic Shock, heat, flickering lights, smoke, and sparks - these are all signs of electrical issues you can see, feel, and smell.

Electrical problems in the home are more common than you think.

Flickering lights, a burning odour and occasional sparks are all signs that all is not well with your home or business’s electrics.

To p r o t e c t y o u r s e l f , Marlborough has many certified electricians who can visit your home and business to correct and prevent electrical problems from becoming hazardous.

If you feel a tingle or strong shock when touching an appliance, you probably have a ground fault in the appliance or improper wiring in your home.

These will not feel the same as a shock from static in the home, but more pronounced and stronger.

Call a professional if these situations are present in your home.

Regularly check the area

around your ceiling light fixtures for temperature.

This is because not all fixtures are well insulated, especially if you exceed the maximum recommended wattage bulb for the fixture.

The fixture can overheat, and too much heat buildup could cause a fire hazard.

Flickering lights may be a sign of a defective or loose light bulb.

If you try new light bulbs to no avail it could be a wiring issue.

The fault may be in the light fixture connections, or the wiring in your electrical panel may be loose.

If you have light switches or receptacles that work occasionally, the wiring may be loose or it may be defective internally.

You will need to have your wiring inspected to determine

whether any loose connections are present, and you will need any defective devices replaced.

If you notice a burning odour coming from any outlets or switches, turn the power off at the electrical panel.

Call a professional asap as this can be something simple or it can be a big problem.

The problem may be a faulty device, but it could also be a wiring or overload problem.

A burning smell is a serious issue because it could indicate the start of an electrical fire.

Occasional sparks when you first plug in an appliance are not unusual.

Sparks that are large and or happen frequently indicates a problem with your outlet or the circuit.

If you hear a popping sound, it may signal that a wire may be loose.

Locating the loose wire in a circuit is not always easy.

Diagnosing and repairing of all these problems should be done be a certified professional.

Don’t risk it - call the professionals Imagine you are relaxing at home after a hard day at work, watching a movie and suddenly the television completely shuts down.

To make it worse some of the lights in your home begin to flicker on and off and the washing machine begins to groan and shudder.

If this happens then it might be time that you hired a professional electrician right away.

Being able to trust that the electrician who arrives is professional and knows what they are doing is important. Because when it comes to electricity and the high costs of fixing a ‘botched’ job, it’s not worth the risk.

There are some people who claim they know how to fix their own electrical problems, but if it’s not done correctly, an electrical shock can result in death.

What is more, you could turn a basic maintenance job into a major repair.

For all your electrical problems, big or small call in the professionals.

Any form of energy reduction in the kitchen can help when winter power prices hit.

for too long when it is in use.

Switch off the oven sooner, as some dishes will cook while the oven is cooling.

If you do not use the clock on your microwave turn it off when not in use.

Load and unload your fridge as quickly as possible and don’t leave the fridge door open for longer

Reduce energy consumption in the kitchen From only boiling the amount of water you need to make a cup of tea, to waiting until you have a full load of laundry before setting off the washing machine, there are plenty of easy steps you can take around the home to reduce your energy consumption.

Here are some easy kitchen tips.

When boiling vegetables use just enough water to keep them covered.

Always use the right size of pan for your cooking ring and put a lid on it. This will help save energy as it will cook quicker.

Make sure the gas flame only heats the bottom of the pan. This will help save gas and also stops the handle from getting hot and burning your hand.

Make sure taps are fully turned off after use. This will help save both water and gas.

Don’t keep the oven door open

Defrost your fridge or freezer on a regular basis to help prevent a build up of ice.

Get the feather duster out - when dust gathers on the condenser coils at the back of your fridge it can increase its energy consumption.

“This is one of few with a jet turbo prop engines in it and is brand new after being prepared and test flown for this weekend,” said club president Ken McMillan.

The club warmly welcomes the public to come along Saturday and Sunday to watch the Fly-In and encourages people to mix and mingle with members and ask any questions.

By Kristy Martin John Madsen believes a sound shell needs to be built in Pollard Park in order to attract more outdoor concerts.

Mr Madsen, a Picton resident who has previously been involved with Christmas in the Park, is urging people to make a submission to council before the Pollard Park management plan review submissions close this Friday.

Council is currently looking at the vision for the future of Pollard Park, something that has not been done since 1997 and is unlikely to happen again for many years.

“These reviews tend to go under the radar, but it’s a wonderful opportunity to see something like this built,” Mr Madsen said.

There are sound shells in Napier, Timaru and Wellington.

“Maybe there could be some sort of competition for the design of the building,” Mr Madsen suggested.

“It could even be done in complete concrete so it is vandal proof, with its back to Parkers Road so the sound travels away from the houses.”

Pollard Park plays host to the Summer Concert Series, Multicultural Festival and brass band performances but according to

John Madsen believes there needs to be a sound shelter at Pollard Park in order to attract more concerts.

Mr Madsen has the potential to attract many more quality events.

Mr Davis, the Shed president, said about 25 new people came through the doors.

He said the shed appealed to a wide variety of people.

"It's a place where you can come and do your own projects...if you want to learn something

the people down here can teach you how to do it.

"Even if you want a cup of tea and to come and chat to the guys we can do that too."

Beat off germs for a healthier winter 198104

Do you dream of wearing shorts again?

Taking care of a sick toddler isn’t fun.

But taking care of several sick children is worse.

It means more misery and sleepless nights and for working parents, more missed days of work.

So short of ordering everyone into hazmat suits, what are you supposed to do the next time one of your kids comes home from daycare flushed and feverish?

How can you protect the rest of the family and prevent germs from spreading?

Many parents assume that once the virus is in the house, everyone’s going to get it. But there are some precautions that can help.

Containing a virus isn’t easy, especially within a family. But here’s some advice from pediatricians and experts on infectious disease on how to prevent germs from getting the rest of the family sick.

• Get your kids to wash their hands.

Yes, this one should be obvious. But it really can’t be stressed enough.

Hand washing is a crucial way to prevent germs from spreading.

When you have a sick toddler, germs can get absolutely everywhere. That means that your healthy child is bound to pick them up on his hands.

But as long as he’s washing his hands regularly, the germs might not make it from his hands into his eyes or mouth.

• Wash your own hands. To prevent germs from spreading, the same advice goes for you too. Don’t get so focused on wiping down your sick toddler’s toys that you forget to wash your own hands.

It’s important for a couple of reasons.

First, you don’t want to get sick -- taking

care of a sick toddler while being sick yourself can be punishing.

But second, if you’re not washing your hands, you could actually be the one who infects your healthy child, even if you don’t get sick.

All it might take is for you to pick up your sick toddler’s tissues and then make your healthy kid’s lunch and bingo you’ve got two sick children.

• Step up your disinfecting.

• Wipe off surfaces that your sick toddler has touched like doorknobs, tables, and handrails with a disinfectant.

• Many plastic toys can be thrown in the dishwasher, and many stuffed animals in the washing machine.

• If your sick toddler is suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea, take extra care to disinfect the toilet, floor, and sink in the bathroom.

• Practice good diaper hygiene. The changing table could be a spot where your kids exchange germs. So you could decide to use the changing table only for your sick toddler and change your healthy kid somewhere else. Or you could always lay a fresh blanket over the changing pad when putting a diaper on your healthy child.

• Don’t allow sharing at meals. Mealtimes may usually be chaotic, with your kids regularly swapping silverware, cups, and food. For now, do what you can to prevent that.

• Keep the bathroom hygienic. While germs generally don’t live on towels very long, they can live long enough to make a healthy kid sick. So launder them regularly. And get your child a new toothbrush after he’s been sick.

Group garage sale The Wairau Valley Newsletter team is planning a group Wairau Valley garage sale day on 21 June 21 from 11am - 2pm.

The idea is to encourage people to come and check out a number of garage sales in the Valley on one day.

Some sellers will have goods at their homes, other sellers will bring their items to the Wairau Valley Church carpark.

“Its a br illiant chance to change

unwanted second hand goods into money during the winter,” said organisers.

People interested in joining the day should contact wairau.valley news@g ma i l. com or check out the Wairau Valley Facebook page, or ring 572 2818 ASAP to register interest.

There is no charge to be involved.

Should the weather prove terrible, the postponement day is 28 June.

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.

Owner Diana Johnstone has created a delicious range of tempting pink cupcakes, berry smoothies, a detox juice, mixed berry muffins and some pink ribbon biscuits which she has been selling

this month, and will still have available for the rest of this week.

Fifteen percent of the profits made from these items will be donated to the Foundation.

Dorothy Boyce is off to represent Papua New Guinea at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

By Adam Poulopoulos Eighteen years ago, Blenheim-based Dorothy Boyce had never considered playing squash, but now she is off to Scotland to represent her country in the sport.

Dorothy, from the Marlborough Squash Rackets Club, has been selected in the eight-person Papua New Guinea team to head to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, beginning on July 23.

At this stage, she is competing in only the singles draw, but that is subject to change.

Until 1996, Boyce played as a basketball forward back in PNG, but she said meeting husband Shane changed all that.

“I used to go down and watch my husband have a hit with his friends, and when I started playing I used to change hands with the racket.

“People used to say ‘it’s funny how you do that’ and I don’t really know how I did it!”

Blenheim Racing Pigeon Club had their birds at Timaru on Sat. 24th and the birds were liberated at 8.30 am into clear conditions, although conditions deteriorated through the day.

First place went to Donald Morrison of Spring Creek when his little blue hen # 161 arrived at the loft after a little over 6 hours on the wing, recording a velocity of 1090.11 meters per minute.

Second place went to Nero Lofts of Seddon, and 3rd position to Joan Webb of Central.

Next weekend is the last race of the current series, but is the highlight event of the season with pigeon fanciers from many parts of New Zealand arriving in Blenheim to take part in our classic race.

MULTIMETER 300 (CAT II 300V)

A large number of competitors braved the elements at the Marlborough Harrier Club event at Taylor Dam on Saturday.

The Handicap Race contested in a reverse direction over the 2km cross-country course was introduced for the first time this season in lieu of the Brooklyn Shield.

Ron Adams (pictured) took line honours in the 6km run while Diana Smit and Julie Hunter crossed together to win the 6km walk.

Children’s race winners included Holly Nicholson, Connor Jobe, Angus Kopua, Lucy Bendell and Hunter Bendell.

She said she was thankful Shane had introduced her to the sport.

“I started out playing for fitness, but now I can beat him easily!

“Who knew I’d be going to the Commonwealth Games?”

Dorothy moved to Blenheim in 2010 to be closer to Shane’s family.

She went back to PNG for two weeks in April to trial for the team.

“It was really good to go back and get in touch with my roots,” she said.

She said despite trying to keep the news quiet, other club members had let it slip.

“I kept it to myself, but the ladies at squash got excited and started spreading the word.

“I said it to one person and they obviously passed it on - they’re like a family, the squash people.”

Dorothy heads to Brisbane on June 12 to prepare with her team, and then flies on to Glasgow.

New seafood restaurant opens Finz restaurant opens at Select Hotel d’Urville At Finz Seafood Restaurant Bar & Grill, our chefs really know their fish! That's why we have more than one market fish of the day to reflect the freshest available catch, prepared and cooked to perfection.

Our philosophy is simple: We serve the best, local seafood in a way that will tantalise your tastebuds and make you want to come back for more.

Last month Hotel d’Urville launched its new ‘Finz Seafood Restaurant Bar & Grill’ as part of a new partnership with Select Hotels & Resorts International.

There have been many exciting changes which hotel owners Tony and Sarah Lawrence are thrilled with.

Restaurant manager Jetti Omkar says his aim is to create an ‘unforgettable dining experience’ showcasing exceptional seafood and produce sourced fresh from Marlborough.

“We have had such a great response and many excellent reviews from the restaurant and I feel people are really enjoying our fresh new approach to dining,” he says.

“We create imaginative menus serving only the best local produce, complemented by excellent local, national and international wines to match,” Jetti says.

While the restaurant promotes its sensational seafood, it also has its ‘grill’ menu which features premium eye fillet of beef, juicy lamb

racks and tender wild venison strip loins.

Vegetarian, gluten free and other dietary requirements are also catered for.
