Lakewood in receivership Rest home residents and staff ordered to leave by today
By Adam Poulopoulos Residents and staff at the Lakewood/Wairakau Home and Hospital were given less than a week to pack their bags after the rest home went into receivership. The facility, on Lakings Road, was recently liquidated, and the 11 residents and 24 staff were notified of the development on Tuesday afternoon. The residents have until later today to be moved out, while staff are now looking for new jobs. Continued page 2

Stuart Smith presents maiden speech By Celeste Lodewyk Kaikoura Electorate MP Stuart Smith delivered his maiden speech in Parliament on Wednesday. He began by acknowledging his predecessors, Tom Shand, Sir Douglas Kidd, Linda Scott and Colin King, and thanked his campaign chairman Tim Leslie for his hard work and ‘wise counsel’. He went on to describe his position as a first time candidate as a ‘privilege’. “I find it truly humbling that I was elected with a record majority, this is something I will never take for granted.” He shared his life’s journey, being born on a Mid Canterbury sheep farm just south of Methven, close to Mt Hutt with fond memories of the family home. “Dad worked his way into the farm through shearing, and taught my brothers and I that we could have anything in life we wanted, as long as we worked hard for it. “Those values of working hard and reaping
the rewards of your endeavours are very dear to me and align perfectly to those of the National Party. “That is why I am so proud and privileged to stand here today as a National Member of Parliament,” he said.
Staff still in shock Continued from page 1 A relative of a Lakewood resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, was notified about the development at about 2pm on Tuesday. “It put me into a tailspin. It’s very short notice,” the source said. “Everyone’s been uprooted. I do feel sorry for the staff and a lot of the residents are going to feel unsettled.” The source said the family “dropped everything” to find their relative a new home, and secured a new room on Wednesday. Lakewood manager Julie Berriman said the 24-bed facility had been quiet for a while, but the news was still surprising. “It’s like when someone gets very sick and they pass away – it’s still a shock when they do. “At least I’m busy doing something at the moment – it’ll hit me next week.” She said the home’s income, $113 a day for the 11 residents, was not

enough to cover staff wages. “It’s not a money-making venture. “The Government needs to put more money aside or the smaller, private homes will go down the gurgler.” She said she was thankful for the support the community had given the staff team, which includes nurses, caregivers, cleaners, administrative staff and chefs. “Other rest homes have been ringing up and have been very generous. “They’re all good staff. We haven’t got any lemons.” Employees were volunteering yesterday to help residents with their moves. Shepherd Dunphy partner Iain Shepherd is dealing with receivership negotiations. He said his first meeting with the director was two weeks ago. A buyer for the business was sought, but there was insufficient cash flow to attract one. The building is owned privately by a North Island couple.
Patients could have MRI scans in Wairau Hospital early next year after the Pacific Radiology Group and Nelson Marlborough District Health Board reached agreement to site the new MRI on the hospital site. The agreement calls for a portable building to be attached to the Radiology Department where private and public patients will have access to MRI scans. The new MRI service is expected to be operational in February 2015. The scanner will be operated by PRG, and the NMDHB will have four half-day sessions per week out of 10 sessions. This increases the MRI capacity of the district by 80 per cent as the DHB has five sessions per week in Nelson Hospital’s MRI. NMDHB chief executive Chris Fleming said the DHB and Pacific Radiology are working together to establish the MRI service in Marlborough. “I’m pleased we are able to bring an MRI service to Blenheim and have it located on the hospital site as this will benefit Marlborough people by offering MRI scans close to home.” He said this public/private partnership will relieve the growing backlog and reduce wait times for MRI scans.

He spoke of the issues facing NZ export businesses, foreign investment’s role in the wine industry, sustainable growth and his part in the National Party Bluegreens. During Stuart’s first term, he plans to be advocating for the replacement of the last remaining one-lane bridge on Highway One at the Hurunui River. “A coastal feeder service out of Picton is also long overdue and something I have been advocating for some time now. “There are significant savings to be made for exporters from such a service, and with the shipping industry moving to a hub and spoke model, the time is right. I will be working alongside Port Marlborough and the Marlborough District Council to make this a reality,” he said. He welcomed the consultation into the future of the Marlborough Colleges and closed his speech by announcing plans to introduce a bill to create a recreational fishing park in the Marlborough Sounds.

Flair for Shakespeare takes Bonnie to London By Adam Poulopoulos A Marlborough Girls’ College pupil got a belated birthday present earlier this month when she was chosen to head to London as part of the Young Shakespeare Company. Year 11 student Bonnie Harrison is the youngest of 24 chosen for the three-week trip, which takes place in July next year. The group will stay at Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, attend workshops and perform an as-yet-unknown play at the Globe Theatre. Bonnie was chosen from a group of 48 students from around the country who attended the National Shakespeare Schools Production week, put on by the Shakespeare Globe Centre of New Zealand, in Dunedin recently. The students performed in one of three plays, with Bonnie playing male scholar Holofernes in Love’s Labour’s Lost. Bonnie said MGC old girl Dawn Sanders, who attended NSSP week and is heading to
Bonnie Harrison, back, as Holofernes in Love’s Labour’s lost. Photo supplied.
London with the YSC, called her on October 12, the day after her birthday, to tell her the news.
“She said ‘would you like another birthday present?” Bonnie’s journey to NSSP week began with regional and national competitions, where she played Katherine in a 15-minute excerpt of The Taming of the Shrew. She said she had always been interested in acting, but it was not until her director Emily Hurley, an MGC year 13 student and past YSC participant, showed her the nuances in the text that her passion for Shakespeare grew. “She really got me inspired. “The range of literary devices in Shakespeare is incredible, and it can be adapted for the modern day. “It’s not all old-days-in-the-round all the time. The content is immeasurably relevant.” The YSC group meets again in June next year to attend the national Shakespeare festival, before heading off shortly after. Bonnie’s trip will cost about $8500, and she plans to begin fundraising shortly.
Health hub set for CBD Lease signed for former No1 Shoe Warehouse building
Police investigate the cause of the crash.
Dead end for bus By Adam Poulopoulos The Mitre 10 Mega bus went off the road and into hedges at Omaka Cemetery on Tuesday. The incident occurred just after 2:30pm, when the bus came out of Wither Road, at the intersection with Taylor Pass Road, and turned
right, ending up in the bushes. St John Marlborough territory manager Murray Neal said the male driver and the only passenger, a female, were treated for minor injuries, and neither was transported to hospital.
A new integrated health hub for Blenheim came a step closer this week after the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (NMDHB) signed a lease with the Marlborough District Council for the former No1 Shoe Warehouse building. Previously the Marlborough District Council considered the site as a possible location for the town’s new library. A NMDHB spokesperson said the building will be extensively refurbished before the April 2015 opening date. The new integrated health hub in Blenheim will house Kimi Hauora Wairau Marlborough Primary Health Organisation (PHO), the Public Health Ser-
vice and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The refurbished facility will accommodate 18 Blenheimbased Public Health Service staff, 25 Kimi Hauora Wairau Marlborough PHO staff and 10 CAMHS team members. K i m i H a u o r a Wa i r a u Marlborough PHO, CE Beth Tester said all key organisations were working well together to design the working environment and layout of the new facility. Mr Fleming said there is an opportunity for other like-minded community health groups to share the facility and he welcomed inquiries.

Rain and a southerly change are due to blow in on Labour Day Monday.
TRAIN DERAILMENT The main Picton train line was reopened late on Wednesday following a derailment earlier in the day. The derailment involved two wagons on a northbound freight service into Picton on Wednesday morning. The wagons had been cleared from the site near Dublin Street by early afternoon. The Coastal Pacific service from Christchurch to Picton was cancelled yesterday morning, but the return service ran last night. KiwiRail are investigating the cause of the derailment.

AWARDS ENTRIES Entries for the 2015 Westpac Marlborough Chamber of Commerce Business Awards must be received by the Chamber office by Monday, December 22. The awards are being held on March 6 next year.
HAVELOCK SITES Two adjacent sites in the Havelock Harbour, on Ngati Kuia Drive, are up for lease. The sites, which can be leased individually or as a pair, are ready to be built on. They are surrounded primarily by light industry. For more information contact James Turner on 0272052368.
MAYOR WELCOMES NEW HEALTH HUB Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman says the location of a health hub in the former No 1 Shoe Warehouse site will help bring a new lease of life to Queen Street. The Marlborough District Council, which owns the site, has leased it to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board and, after refurbishment, the new hub is due to open in April next year. Mr Sowman said it’s a great outcome for Queen Street as its going to mean a big influx of foot traffic with so many more people working from the building.
SAFETY MESSAGE FOR LONG WEEKEND Plunket is urging New Zealand families to think about their kids’ safety while they’re on the roads this holiday weekend. “Over this weekend have a great break, enjoy time with family and friends and remember everyone has to be properly buckled up”, according to Sue Campbell, Plunket’s National Child Safety Advisor. “Car crashes are one of the biggest dangers to New Zealand children. We have one of the highest child road fatality rates in the OECD. Around five children are killed or injured every week on this country’s roads. The simple truth is that car seats save lives”, she said.
Motorcycle inspired for kids Local woman Rachel Madsen’s family is motorbike mad. Her 13-year-old son Joel has raced motocross since he was five before moving onto road racing nearly two years ago, following in his father’s footsteps. It was when the family brought back a mini race replica balance bike for her youngest son Kobie from the MotoGP in 2012, that it sparked an interesting business idea. “We travel all over the country with racing at different events and when Kobie has his bike so many people want to know where we got
it from. “So at the start of the year I decided to approach Kiddimoto UK to see how I could get them into the New Zealand market, and it turned out that Kiddimoto Australia was looking to get into NZ. “So we worked together and now I take the bikes with me to the tracks when travelling and go to the odd show, including the up and coming Classics Auto Show at the Stadium on December 13,” she said. The Kiddimoto bikes are on display and can be purchased at Cherubs. Joel and Rachel Madsen.
Shipwrecks set to expand By Adam Poulopoulos It may not quite be rum, but a pirate-themed Picton playground is looking to add coffee and frozen yoghurt to their mix in the near future. Shipwrecks, in Mariners Mall, will be expanding into the old Picton Queen Charlotte Pharmacy premises, and what used to be Cuts Hairdressers. The expansion will see seating, dining tables and a coffee machine go in, and a frozen yoghurt shop, Antarctic Yoghurt, set up. Work has already begun, and should be completed by the end of November. Shipwrecks owner Mark McLean said the expansion was a natural progression for
Breeze Chilvers, 3, Paige Wilson, 3, Inesha Chilvers, 7, Zayne Chilvers, 5 and Caleb Win, 3.
the playground, which opened in March. “We always intended to do it that way. We just opened the shop initially to get the name
out. “We always wanted seating available for parents, which we don’t really have at the moment.”
He said Shipwrecks was helping to regenerate the mall. “We want to give parents and kids somewhere to go.” The playground contains a ball pit and jungle gym, while there is also a room that can be booked out for kids’ parties. Manager Trina Adams said the first few months had been good. “Birthday parties are a big thing, and often on rainy days we’ll see more in.” She said she felt the playground had been successful because it offered kids a safe place to play. “A lot of parents don’t want to go down to the foreshore, where the kids make straight for the water. “It’s all contained here.”
pcMedia drives speed increase By Adam Poulopoulos A local computer support company has found a way to quicken the speed of its computers while keeping their prices the same. pcMedia has been replacing the spinning disks in their $1199 desktop computers with solid state drives, which helps the computer operate at about twice the speed. They put together the computers in the office with the help of Marlborough Boys’ College year 11 student Lucas Hippolite. The solid state drive has less moving parts and is lighter than the spinning disk.

Managing director Lee Harper said the jump in technology is of a similar magnitude to when floppy disks were phased out by pen drives. “This a major leap – one of the bigger jumps we have seen in 20 years. To more than double the speed of a computer is of huge benefit. At present they are manufacturing 50 computers a month.

Time for a new Picton Library Council has been planning for some time to improve the overcrowded library facilities in Picton. Now councillors have decided that Picton’s Library is one project that should be given priority. The need for a new Picton Library was identified in the North Marlborough Urban Growth Strategy and Picton people have been patiently waiting to hear when this was going to become a reality says Mayor Alistair Sowman. “We could just do a patch-up of the existing building in High Street but this is also a chance to bring the library closer to the town’s central focus, its waterfront,” he said.
Council holds a block of land on lower Wellington Street where it would be possible to build a library. “Instead of wrestling with the existing site and trying to extend it, we could put all the effort into making sure the Picton community has a purpose-built library. It does need to be understood that Council has only enough funds to contemplate a library – nothing more. However it could be a wonderful addition to the waterfront, designed to complement the area,” Mr Sowman said. In coming weeks, councillors will be discussing how best to progress the library project and Picton councillors
want to hear feedback from Picton residents about the proposal. “We’re been talking a lot about the opportunities facing Picton now that the ferry decision has been made. Some of the ideas have already been publicised – like opening up the streetscape to the harbour and linking the cafes more closely to the waterfront and there’s quite a bit of excitement about that and I really feel Picton is poised to take a step forward. The library will be another big positive for the town but we need to hear what people think before decisions are made,” said the Mayor.
Oliver Park Plunket area upgrade Plunket is celebrating its success in lobbying the Marlborough District Council to bring forward the upgrade of the pre-schoolers playground area at Oliver Park in Redwoodtown. The equipment dates back to the 1980s and is now showing its age and Plunket, working with Councillor Laressa Shenfield, has been pressing for improvements. Councillors on the Assets and Services Committee have agreed that $51,000 be brought forward
from next year’s budgets so the work can be done sooner than had been scheduled. The money will go into improving the safety of some equipment and replacing other items, with money earmarked for the tower, slide and swings, safety surfacing and new fencing. From left, Marlborough Plunket Community Services Leader Kerry Hamilton, and 4-year-old playground user Rab Keown with Councillor Laressa Shenfield.
Recycling bins and the wind! - secure paper and cardboard Its spring and in Marlborough that can mean windy weather. Please remember to secure any paper going out in your recycling bin so we don’t have rubbish blowing

Positive ageing Cost is often an incentive for people on limited incomes to give up smoking but health reasons can prompt older people to get help to stop, even after a lifetime of smoking. As well as all the widely known health risks, medical experts say smoking will delay healing for skin wounds and after surgery and will contribute to health problems that can arrive with older age like troublesome leg ulcers.

A HUGE THANK YOU
To the anonymous person who handed my wallet in to the Blenheim Police station less than 30 minutes after it fell out of my pocket on the Taylor River bank whilst riding to work last Friday morning, Thank you very very much for your honesty.
LET DOWN On the spot Riverdale lets the neighbourhood down, Whats up? Owners need to get their act together and if its not to be re opened needs to go and fast. If its waiting for the powers that be then get the lawnmower and weed killer out, lots of community minded people down here who take pride in their suburb and homes. Budge st looks beautiful with its flowering cherry trees, Holdaway st was spectacular with Kowhai trees, wake up Blenheim you don’t get to choose your neighbours! On the spot Riverdale, if they aren’t going to knock it over and clean the place up let’s the area down after they have been doing the big clean up recently. Concerned local.
MANY THANX Many thanx to person who returned my lost purple purse to springlands post. Kiaora!

RE: DRIVING PAST HORSES WHY 1080? Y does nz still use 1080 when possum trappers can do it free and make money for themselves and the country...trapping keeps people off the dole, but doc want to let it rot in the ground and waste tax payers money to do so, ban 1080 now! staying off the dole and helping nz not poisoning it.
RE: FLYING PAPER
Re driving past horses and go elsewhere. How did you get your licence? Did you not read your road code? The road is not just for motorized vehicles, we need to be considerate to all who use our roads, even best trained animals can be unpredictable, as can children on bikes! Should we keep them off the roads too?
Admire thinking of recipient of Microsoft Windows callers reverting to masquerading as a house of ill-repute to sort out the little ins & outs of lifes problems!! Keep getting calls at teatime re installing HRV circulating dry air systems......any suggestions??
If all riders used the river bank our gardens would thrive. How to get there without going on the road is the problem.
Got an important issue to share with Marlborough?
Great letter “Flying Paper’ in Sun, oct 22. Unless one is in the market for a new home why do we all need to get this property paper deliverd anyway? Goes straight in the bin, waste of printing if you ask me.
WHAT CAME FIRST? I maybe young but even i know horses were on our roads long before cars were! So please show some consideration for other road users.
BOTTLENECK PROBLEM
STRANGER DANGER
Good on you the powers that be for creating another bottle neck road into blenheim..as for the safe place to cross outside countdown - its definitely not - I’ve seen two tripping accidents on it both resulting in holding up traffic..and as for the confusing road markings along from the ale house for cyclists...another accident waiting to happen...congrats!!

Wine and Beer will now be in one long aisle but will remain in the same area. All bread and bakery goods will be located in the last aisle. Soft drink, Water, Cordials and Energy drinks will be located together with juice
in one area. Cleaning products will be moved to be opposite pet food. Our international food selection will be significantly increased.

We asked our customers what they wanted, and we listened to what they told us.
2. What exactly are the changes?
To ensure New World Blenheim has the very best range and is laid out in a logical flow for our customers’ shopping experience.
1. Why are you making the changes at New World Blenheim?
Changes will include moving all drinks into the same area, removing cleaning products from the baking goods aisle, increasing the international food section, as well as installing a brand new bakery wall unit.
To ensure these changes cause as little disruption as possible, the majority of work will be carried out overnight, staff will be wearing highly visible red t-shirts, and additional staff will be available to help direct customers. “We will do everything we can to help our customers through the changes”, Ashley said. Changes will begin on Tuesday afternoon (October 28th), and will be completed by Thursday morning (October 30th).
Questions & Answers
Cleaning is moving to opposite pet food

Ashley and Melanie are dedicated to providing the very best shopping experience in Marlborough. These changes are all the result of customer feedback, and designed to deliver the quickest and easiest visit to New World Blenheim.
We believe there are many benefits to customers. Having bread and bakery product located together makes it easier to shop and being located last means there is less chance of it being squashed. Having juice and soft drinks together just makes sense.
Moving cleaning products away from baking goods we felt was critical. It is a highly perfumed area and is better positioned away from food products. Growing our international section is great for our customers and we will be adding many interesting and delicious products.
4. How will this impact your customers? These changes will begin on Tuesday afternoon (October 28th), and will be completed by Thursday morning (October 30th). Most adjustments will be done after 8pm
each night but there will be some juggling to deal with during the day. All of the work will be completed by the start of business on Thursday October 30th.
5. What will you do to minimise the disruption to our customers? We have a large team of people helping and we are doing the majority of the work at night time. We will have extra staff on the floor in red t-shirts who will be available to help at all
times in locating products. We will have maps of the new store layout available at the entrance of the shop to help you locate all products.

School link strengthened By Adam Poulopoulos Representatives of the Marlborough District Council’s Sister City Committee hope a recent visit to Marlborough in England will help to strengthen ties between schools in the two regions. The committee’s community representative Jeff Sewell visited St John’s Marlborough, in Wiltshire, England, last month. He returned with memorabilia, including a shirt and tie, and handed it over to the Mayor and some Marlborough Girls’ College students on Wednesday afternoon. Since then a video blog link has been established between the two schools. Mr Sewell said he was impressed by St John’s facilities. “The college is state-of-the-art, with amazing
study units for music and theatre. “They have international ambassadors and they would be very keen to reciprocate the visit Marlborough Girls’ gave them in 2013, so hopefully we’ll see them out here soon.” St John’s is a co-educational school with more than 1600 students. As well as establishing the school connection, Mr Sewell also discussed ways the two towns could be more closely linked during a meeting with Marlborough Town Council in the UK. Ideas included a book exchange, so each city’s library has a section about the other Marlborough, links between the two mayors’ collars and letters of introduction for people travelling between the towns. Marlborough Town Council also hopes to set up a youth council similar to the one MDC has.
The memorabilia is displayed at the Marlborough District Council chambers. From left: MGC students Taylor Brooks and Amy Tempero, sister city committee chairman Graeme Barsanti, Mayor Alistair Sowman, student Hannah Brooks and sister city committee community representative Jeff Sewell.
Paint job for John’s Kitchen By Adam Poulopoulos Some of the outside of John’s Kitchen was given a paint job by volunteers earlier this week. Staff from Constellation Brands painted the walls on The Warehouse side of
John’s Kitchen, starting at 1pm on Monday. The work was done as part of Constellation Brands’s ‘Nourishing Neighbours’ volunteer work programme.
Care home looks to expand By Adam Poulopoulos An old building on the Maxwell Care Home site was brought down yesterday, as the home looks to extend their facility. The building, at the front of the section on Maxwell Road was formerly owned by Fairview Hospital. Bupa purchased the site at the end of January last year, and the wooden structure had been unused since midway through 2013, when the ceiling partially collapsed during a storm and it was deemed electrically unsafe. The structure was built about 30 years ago.
Now, plans are being formulated to extend the existing Maxwell Care Home facility at the back of the section, but nothing has been decided and no date has been set. Maxwell Care Home clinical manager Penny Tuckerman said Bupa had planned to demolish the building for a while. “In their view the building was always going to come down so they could extend the existing building. “Knocking that to the ground should help people realise there is a care facility in the back.”

Shanghai to London Rally Noeline’s blog Warsaw We are getting to the end of the tour and getting tired now, so we decided to just have a quiet day doing things by ourselves. Things like laundry become a problem and time consuming, so we sent our laundry out and spend the day site seeing. Got the bus to the old city, brought a few souvenirs, had lunch and watched the world go by. Had a hair cut - was quite interesting as no one could speak English! So with lots of hand waving we got the job done. Looked for an Apple Store as my iPad was not working. Brought a few things from the supermarket for the road trip. Back at the hotel we phoned to get our laundry and the lady told us it was going to cost about $300. For that price I could have brought a whole new wardrobe! After much discussion the cost was reduced. Lesson learnt though - wash and hang it over the bath! Up early the next morning and off to Krakow, stopping at Auschwitz on the way. We passed the famous train station - Oswiecim - the last civilisation many people would have seen. There was this eerie feeling - no one was talking on their radios, just very quiet and following the car in front. We were told to stay together, park together, and don’t listen to anyone. Around the corner we were confronted with a mass of people and buses galore - it looked like Grand Central Station. The eerie feeling soon disappeared as we concentrated on where we were going. We were herded into a building, given earphones, and all pushed into a room to watch a short film. Then
we were split into two groups and a guide came to explain about the camp. It was all too much. A few of the group stayed with the cars. Inside the camp there were guard boxes so the guards could have some shelter. The area had a double barbed wire fence around it. It is hard to comprehend what actually happened today, but it was certainly very moving. Then it was time to go into some of the buildings and the mood changed. I started to take photos (as you were allowed to) but after a few I just didn’t feel comfortable so I just walked with the group. Everyone was quiet. Seeing photos of thousands of people starving to death was just awful. There were dolls left by children, shoes, 100s of reading glasses, suitcases with peoples names on them, and one of the shocking things was human hair. We were taken into another brick shed. I didn’t take much notice, but inside I was just getting my bearings and thought, “what is this empty room?” - then I looked up and saw these pipes going across the ceiling with holes in them - I realised where I was. A doorway led to railway tracks and the ovens. I spotted Ron heading for the door, and we got out of there as fast as we could. By this stage we needed to go. We caught a bus to Birkenau - only stayed a short time as I didn’t want to see anymore. It was such a devastating place. We are pleased we saw it but unsure if we will be going back. Auschwita is about 40 miles west of Krakow. Auschwita-Birkenau was the largest concentration and extermination camp established by
the Nazi regime and is the symbol of The Holocaust. It consisted of three main camps: Auschwitz 1, the administrative centre; Auschwita 2 (Birkenau), as extermination camp and Auschwita 3 (Monowita), a work camp. The first two were included on the World Heritage List in 1979. All back on the road - quite drained. Arriving in Krakow to our hotel was great. We found a nice outdoor cafe for dinner and watched the horses and buggies go by. Great dinner, then it poured with rain. Caught a taxi back to the hotel. Big day. Leaving Krakow we headed for Prague via the Salt Mines. What a fantastic place. After paying for the tour (extra if you want to take photos), we had to walk down 500 stairs, 326 metres deep. It took us three hours to only see a small part of the mines. The chandeliers were made of salt, hanging in this huge room where they hold functions. Then we all lined up for an hour to get in this small lift. Brought souvenirs, then back on the road.
Oswiecim, the last train station before Auschwitz.
Dinner at a beautiful outdoor cafe in Krakow.
Driving through small villages and big open lush land, we crossed over the boarder into the Czech Republic. Roads were good and we were able to get our speeds up to 120 - 130. The older cars found it a bit hard going. You have to travel with your lights on as there is a 220 crown ticket if you don’t! The police weren’t around as much but they did pick up our leader for no lights and running a red light. His shout! Stopped by Police. The tour leader gets ticketed.

Worlds longest nails
328
It is believed the longest recorded fingernails belonged to Lee Redmond (USA), who started to grow them in 1979 and carefully manicured them to reach a total length of 8.65 m (28 ft 4.5 in) as measured on the set of Lo show dei record in Madrid, Spain, on 23 February 2008. Lee lost her nails in an automobile accident in early 2009.

Eric the Eel
inbrief
Training to run a marathon is hard work, especially when it’s your first one and you keep getting sick. The result, a month out from the big day, is a feeling of being massively underdone. It feels like that moment before an exam, when you know you haven’t done enough study and you know cramming isn’t going to help very much. All you can do is keep working hard as long as you can, stick to your diet and stay positive. The upshot of all this self-reflection was it got me thinking about Eric ‘the Eel’ Moussambani, the epitome of an ‘underdone’ athlete.
RUGBY Marlborough Boys’ College old boy and Tasman Makos lock Joe Wheeler is among four Makos selected for the New Zealand Maori All Blacks side to play in Japan next month. He is joined in the 27-man squad by Liam Squire, James Lowe and team vice-captain Shane Christie. Tasman referees Chris Wratt, Vaughan Wylie and Johnny Rice have been picked to officiate in the various provincial finals this weekend. Tasman plays Taranaki in the ITM Premiership final tomorrow night in New Plymouth.
Eric, a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, competed in the 100 metres at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Then 22, he had gained a wildcard for the Games as part of a scheme for developing countries. Before setting foot on Australian soil, he had never seen a 50 metre swimming pool, and had only started swimming eight months before the Games. He arrived in Sydney with about NZ$100 spending money. One of three competitors in his heat, the Eel ended up winning it because the other two jumped the gun and false-started, but instead of winning it by default,
he was made to swim alone. For one minute and 52 seconds, Eric flapped his way through the race, to the cheers of the crowd. His finishing time was outside the 200 metres world record at the time. In the four years before Athens 2004, the Eel crushed his Australian memories and became quite electric. He halved his personal best time, enough to qualify ‘properly.’ However, in a depraved twist of fate, he was unable to compete due to visa problems. Finally, good luck this weekend Makos. You have made provincial rugby exciting for a very proud, very depressed Wellingtonian.

SPORTS TALK With ... Adam Poulopoulos
Crew mate needed!
KARTING Three Marlborough karters have headed down to Dunedin to race in the South Island Karting Championships over Labour Weekend. In the seniors, Taylor Forbes is contesting the rotax heavies, Daniel Bugler is racing in both the rotax lights and KZ2, while William Exton also is racing two classes - the cadet raket and cadet rok classes.
By Adam Poulopoulos The Rarangi under-23 mens surf boat crew are a man down, but still hold hopes of defending the national title they won last year. The team of Joe Lepper, Keagen Saul, Mick Boon and Abe Rood, with Neil Watts as sweep/coach, won the under-23 mens surf boat short course title at the New Zealand Surf Life Saving Championships earlier in the year. However, with Rood in Europe the crew is looking for another member to defend their crown at next March’s nationals in Gisborne. The crew also hopes to enter the long-course division, which they achieved bronze in two years ago, at the same event. The new member will be able to swim, ideally have rowing experience, and will complete lifeguard qualifications before getting in the boat. Watts said those who got out on the
RELAY FOR LIFE Next year’s Relay for Life event was launched at the Marlborough Convention Centre on Tuesday night. The event is being held on Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, March 1 next year, at Giesens Sport & Events Centre in Renwick. The event is a continuous 16-hour relay, with donations going to the Marlborough Cancer Society. To register a team visit the Relay for Life website.
water and gave the sport a go would not be disappointed. “I find it exhilarating. Once you catch a wave you get the bug. “We train as often as we want, but as you get better you obviously want to train more often. “Because they have a record it gives them a chance this time around.” The crew’s win last year was Rarangi’s first gold medal at a national event. They begin their competitive season with a trial for the New Zealand under-23 development crew, which will take on Australia at Waihi Beach in early February. The trial, in December in Wellington, is the first of four before the crew is selected. If you like to register your interest, contact the Rarangi Surf Life Saving Club.
Joe Lepper and Keagen Saul. Mick Boon returns next week to take his place in the boat.

105 MIDDLE RENWICK RD, BLENHEIM
Rugby Rivalry spills into debating chamber The ITM Cup final between Tasman and Taranaki is causing splits in National’s newly elected ranks. Nelson and Marlborough MPs Nick and Stuart Smith, and Barbara Kuriger and Jonathan Young, the MPs for Taranaki King Country and New Plymouth respectively, have been trading blows in the parliamentary debating chamber. Stuart and Nick Smith said they were hoping for a Makos win tomorrow night. “The Makos have unfinished business with Taranaki and need to avenge the narrow loss in Nelson on September 11. “It will be an extraordinary achievement for the Tasman Makos to win their first ITM Cup. We want the full team to know they have the Nelson and Marlborough communities’ spirited support.”
