Lower limits, higher responsibility

By Jacob Page With lower legal alcohol limits for drivers coming in to force on Monday, Speight’s Ale House is set to operate a courtesy van each weeknight as well as introducing some new low alcohol beers on tap.

Police are also urging people to be responsible and think about their own personal limits.

Police urge preplanning for new laws Continued from page 1 Lower legal alcohol limits for drivers are bound to have an effect on the way people socialise with alcohol, Speight’s Ale House owner and operator, John Derry said.

He said while the exact effect of the law change, which comes into effect on Monday, will take time to reveal itself, it’s up to all establishments to be proactive to ensure people still want to go out and have a drink.

“It’s hard to say what the impact will be but businesses are going to have to move with the times to ensure people still want to go out and have a drink or have a quiet one after work.

The legal alcohol limit for drivers aged 20 and over will be lowered from 400 to 250 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath, or from 80 to 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

The alcohol limit for drivers

under the age of 20 will remain at zero.

Police in Marlborough are asking people to plan ahead when organising a social event.

Marlborough highway patrol team leader Barrie Greenall said people need to preplan their transport options and be aware they could still be over the limit for driving the morning after.

He said people would have to change the perceptions of how much alcohol they could

tolerate.

“People have to remember that there is no set way of judging what levels of alcohol people can drink without going too far – it differs for everyone.

“Over the years, beer glasses have changed in size as have bottles and alcohol content,” he said.

“Some drinks have more than one standard drink in them and people need to be aware of that.”

Greenall said bars and restau-

rants still had a duty of care to their customers.

He said police would remain vigilant over all roading matters due to the Christmas season but there was no plan to set up check points to ‘target’ drivers in the short term following the law change.

Derry has already introduced low alcohol beer on tap in an effort to entice people who may be concerned about going close to be over the new limits.

“Potentially, it could mean that someone who is used to having three or four beers might only be able to have one or two.

“Places like ours and others around the town will need to be proactive to ensure people have a safe option to get home otherwise there is a chance people may just go to the supermarket and decide to drink at home more.”

Top harpist to Marlborough Marlborough has scored a major coup by enticing one of New Zealand’s top harpists, Helen Webby to perform at The Ceremony of Carols next weekend.

The Christmas inspired concert is being built around Webby, who has been a regular performer with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for many years.

The two concerts at the at 7pm on December 6 and 2pm on December 7 will raise funds for the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal and thanks to several grants and generosity of local business’, Webby’s costs have been largely paid for in advance.

Concert conductor Nancy Woolford said she was ‘moved to tears’ when she saw Webby perform in Dunedin and was determined to get her to play in Marlborough for the first time.

“She is such an immensely talented musician; it’s a real privilege to have her play.”

Woolford said she had picked the Church of the Nativity to host the concert due to its excellent acoustics Webby had learned her craft both in New Zealand and in Europe, basing herself in Hamburg, Germany.

She has released several CDs and performed at numerous overseas venues and is currently principal Harp with the Christchurch Symphony.

Woolford said adults were $20 while children under 16 were a gold coin donation in an effort to try to get as many young people see Webby perform.

Webby will perform the Handel Concerto for harp and strings and a children’s choir amongst other acts.

Delays expected on Dashwood Marlborough motorists should expect delays as a major safety overhaul of two kilometres of State Highway 1 at Dashwood begins, according to the New Zealand Transport Authority.

Marlborough Roads manager Frank Porter says progress is marching along on the Dashwood Overbridge and Realignment project, and work is now beginning to link the new highway with the existing highway.

“While work has been off-road since the project began early this year, crews would now get to work linking the new , straighter road with the existing highway, which will soon become the ‘old route’.”

Because crews will need to

work on the highway, this means motorists will be affected more frequently by delays as the final sections of the project, which is

due to be completed before Easter, are tied into place Porter says that next week, motorists will be moved onto a

temporary road at the southern end of the project.

“There’s going to be some real changes, so it’s important to keep your wits about you, exercise care, and follow all instructions and signs. That way we can ensure the safety of yourself, other road users, and our workers.”

It’s the biggest roading project in Marlborough since the Awatere Bridge replacement in 2007, and includes building a new seismically resilient bridge and rail tunnel, improving the approach to the bridge, and removing several tight curves on either side. Higgins is using local contractors to do earthworks and pavement construction.

BOOK WINNER Ethan Robertson of Blenheim has won a signed copy of 13-year-old author Joshua Marshall’s new book ‘Young Gardeners Growing Chefs’ thanks to The Sun and Paper Plus.

GONDOLA IDEA RESURFACES A Picton man hopes his idea for a gondola and hilltop restaurant in the town will come to fruition.

Eric Collins has entered early negotiations with gondola manufacturers and financial advisers about the project.

The project would see restaurant patrons taken in a 420 metre gondola ride to the top of Collins Hill, where the restaurant would be located.

Mr Collins originally considered the project several years ago, but scrapped it due to a downturn in economic confidence in Picton.

FESTIVAL MOVES The SWEET-AZ Sun Festival will now be held at Lansdowne Park on Waitangi Day, after officially changing venues earlier this week.

The festival, to be headlined by Tiki Taane and Optimus Gryme, was originally to be held at the A&P Showgrounds.

LOCAL PINOT RATES HIGHLY Marlborough won nine of the 17 trophies available at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards last weekend.

Pinot noirs from the region won three of the nine awards.

Villa Maria, Forrest Wines and Saint Clair were awarded two trophies each.

By Adam Poulopoulos A popular New Zealand mag wheel, tyre and vehicle service franchise is expanding into Blenheim next month.

Mag and Turbo Tyre and Service Centre will be opening at 27 Grove Road, next to Couplands Bakeries.

The store will be the 15th in the country when it has its grand opening on Saturday, December 6.

Local couple Darrell and Tina Bate are the store’s owners.

Darrell, a Marlborough Boys’ College old boy, has worked in the automotive industry for the last 25 years in a variety of roles.

He said he and Tina had been looking at getting their own business for several years.

“In the last couple of years we’ve got serious about it.

“Our big point of difference is the wheel side of it. Although our competitors source wheels we’re hoping to have up to 200 on display.

“You can’t go anywhere in Blenheim and see that kind of range.”

All Mag and Turbo stores around the country are locally owned and operated, something that also appealed to Darrell.

Currently, 27 Grove Road, which has been vacant for several years, is being repainted.

At the grand opening, special deals will be offered to those in attendance.

Several local car clubs will also be displaying their cars, with Mag and Turbo offering prizes and giveaways on the day.

As part of a promotion, Brumby’s Blenheim customers have the chance to buy a voucher, gifting two loaves of bread for $3 to Marlborough Red Cross.

Red Cross will then distribute the bread, and the vouchers will be displayed in Brumby’s.

The idea is a national initiative, and this is the first time Brumby’s and Red Cross have paired up.

Marlborough Red Cross service centre coordinator Gayle Chambers said the arrangement was a way to give back.

“For us it’s a way we can give something to people with not a lot of money – a treat for Christmas.

“We’re really grateful to Brumby’s for coming up with the concept.”

The promotion runs from December 1-19.

Pollard Park – Nelmac Garden Marlborough Pollard Park is one of Blenheim’s favourite parks, enjoyed by the town for almost 100 years.

After considering more than two dozen public submissions, the Council has a new management plan for the 24.5 hectares which make up the park; it stresses the importance of the natural qualities of its waterway and its english woodland style of garden with mature trees.

This year, a stop at Pollard Park was included in Nelmac Garden Marlborough’s Across

the Plains tour so people could see some of the town’s oldest trees, remnants of the original plantings around the longdisappeared homestead of the early Waterlea Farm.

What does the blue fish mean?

You may have noticed the bright blue fish marking stormwater drains around the town.

There are now 400 of these blue markers in place. They’re part of the town’s clean water message, a reminder that the town’s stormwater drains are for rainwater only – not rubbish or dirty water.

Representing Marlborough’s indigenous Kokopu, the blue fish are made of eco-friendly, vandal-proof polycarbonate material and they’re permanently nailed in place by the children who run Blenheim’s ‘clean drains’ project.

It began at Springlands School in 2010 after its students discovered the amount of rubbish being washed into the Taylor River from town streets through the stormwater drains.

Positive ageing A defibrillator can save a life in the case of a heart attack.

This equipment is on hand in many rural communities across Marlborough. But there are also defibrillators stored at locations around Blenheim and Picton.

A layperson can use the unit on a casualty in an emergency as the equipment has simple voice prompts

Marlborough District Council PO Box 443 Blenheim 7240 New Zealand

Since then, other schools have jumped on board.

In other parts of the country, councils have adopted similar fish on drains symbols - Taupo has a metal trout and Hamilton a metal kokopu while New Plymouth, Environment Southland, North Shore City, and Wellington Regional Council also take part.

The Council provides materials to schools wishing to join the “Fish in Drains” project; the eco-blue Kokopu plastic fish, plus stencil and materials for the fish logo and a map of stormwater drains in each school’s neighbourhood.

• Any schools wanting to join the campaign can contact MDC Environmental Scientist Peter Hamill, Ph: 03 520 7400 Please remember the message of the blue fish: whether a stormwater drain is outside your gate, in your backyard or on a large property, there should be no contaminated water going into it: • Don’t wash your car next to a stormwater drain • Don’t hose chemicals of any kind down these drains - no oils, grease or paint • Don’t empty spa pools or swimming pools into stormwater drains • Keep litter out of the drains.

Defibrillators to deal with cardiac arrest to guide each step of its use.

Defibrillators units are held at a wide range of locations from the Police Station and Public Library, the Council building and Marlborough Lines, to doctors’ surgeries and Red Cross Rooms but also at other places including the Blenheim Golf Club, some of the wineries and the New World supermarket.

BEST KEPT SECRET RETURNS

Sunday. Kaikoura to Blenheim, busy roads and idiot drivers. Highway patrol?

Not one, yet driving into Witherlea, I see the same mufti cop who seems to spend his career patrolling the same streets.. priorities?

The best kept secret in Marlborough has returned. The norwesters, been missing for the last few years. People grumpy and who wants to fly in a plane at the moment not me, hanging on for dear life.

RATS Mount Stanley rats, hey doc how about a photo of all the dead rats and native birds u r killing with ten eighty aye.

MURAL Fantastic mural in the walkway between Parker and nelson streets what an inspirational message for young and old, well done to all involved you rock.

MAN UP What’s wrong with our teachers telling a 9 yr old to ‘man’ up when be being bullied.

CUPPA Thank you to the ppl in Muller Rd who sometimes give the paper deliverer a cup of tea, you know who are.

PARKING Blenheim parking! With all the pay and display machines going in, I reckon the only free parking will be on our monopoly boards! More of us will need to get on our bikes. Cheers bike rider.

GREAT FIREMEN Job well done! To the crew of Blenheim 241, we were behind you when you left the Omaka fire on Monday night, we noticed you stopped to assist the St John crew on Aerodrome Rd, as your fire service motto translates, service to the people, well done!

I often give a wave to people in cars who kindly stop for me to cross the street but seldom do I get a smile or wave back, just a blank look as if I wasted a minute of their time, sad.

SUGAR So good they have taken out the sugar drinks from the cafe at council. It is far cheaper to buy at the supermarket, but what about all the sugared teas and coffee we have at our desk, so really there is no change, just 1 coin machine out of the cafe.

FUNNY Class act, but amusingly quirky sight...a funeral fella mowing their grass verges, all formal attire - white shirt, nice tie - all under a protective overall suit!

ROSES All locals should come see the rose garden at Framingham Winery which is looking stunning at the moment, worth a visit for that, but the wines are darn nice too.

FILLING SEATS

How are we going to fill the seats in the new theatre when we have the world class Russian show in town & have empty seats in the current theatre?

Fireworks. We have lived in a few places but Blenheim is worst for idiots with fireworks before and after 5th nov. Wake up council and ban them.

SOAPS Re Tumbleweeds soaps, thanks so much the person who wrote commenting on my products, much appreciated.

FORESHORE Hats off to the person in Picton for keeping the foreshore clean and tidy, keep up the great work team.

SMILE !

TATTOOING So the mayor believes that Tattooing should be regulated nationally, as it is a heath issue and needs national standards, not by local council, I agree, but he is only too pleased to ban surgery drinks, by council regulation, which is also a national health issue. Double standards I think, stick to core business.

Q A Q A Q A

My last meal on Earth would be...

Roast lamb dinner with my family.

One of my best holidays was...

The summers we spent at Kaiteriteri Beach Motor Camp when Sara was growing up.

My guilty TV pleasure is...

Coronation Street... I’m seriously addicted.

Q A Q A Q A

I’m inspired by...

My friend Pip Hawke. A huge heart, generous spirit, forever thoughtful, packs so much into her life. A true local super-woman.

What’s one thing that you’ll never throw away?

The photos we have hanging in our family room of my maternal grandparents at their wedding.

Who would you love to have a meal with?

Kate Sheppard, Margaret Thatcher and Hilary Clinton.

Also a reunion dinner with the hundreds of gorgeous girls I have taught to dance over the past 40 years.

Q A Q A Q A

What would you spend your last $100 on?

My husband would say shoes. But it would actually be a great bottle of wine and ingredients for a romantic dinner at home with him.

What’s next on your wish list?

Grandchildren - no pressure Sara and Simon!

What is the one thing Sun readers would be surprised to know about you?

I have an irrational fear of birds.

When I was young I convinced a gullible babysitter to let me stay up and watch the Alfred Hitchcock movie ‘The Birds’. The horror has stayed with me since.

Caltex Main Street Station owner Grant Stubbs outside his rebranded Fix convenience store.

The Fix’s new blue and black decor.

Station launches new look Motorists fueling up at the Caltex Main Street station may have noticed a few changes recently.

Owner Grant Stubbs is proud to introduce his newly branded ‘Fix’ convenience store. The refurbishment was completed a month ago.

He is eager to point out to his customers that while the Fix convenience store is a fresh new look from the previous ‘StarMart’ branding, the Caltex station will continue to operate as normal.

“Caltex recently rolled out the new Fix

branding to bring some more consistency to Caltex stations around the country.

“This store was one of the first to undergo changes, and features an improved store layout, product range and decor.

“People have been really positive so far and commented on it being a ‘smarter’ look.”

Grant says the business offers customers so much more than just being a petrol station.

“It’s all about convenience for the customer.

The Fix has all your basic grocery items, food and drinks right through to car accessories.

“We are also stocking the famous Renwick Pies,” he says.

There will be regular monthly instore promotions to reward customers, including the current offer of a free All Black poster with the purchase of two Powerade drinks.

Customers will also continue to benefit from the AA Smartfuel loyalty card. See instore for more details.

Grant has been a Caltex retailer in Blenheim for over 20 years and is Blenheim’s only locally owned service station property and business.

Talk to your local pharmacy Do you eat enough fibre?

Fibre has always been synonymous with ‘being regular’ but it is also protective against bowel disorders and heart disease.

Foods rich in fibre also contain powerful protective agents, such as antioxidants and phytochemicals.

High fibre diets can also help in weight control and the management of diseases such as diabetes.

What does fibre do?

Fibre is only found in plant products, but in two forms – soluble and insoluble.

Soluble fibre acts like a sponge, absorbing fluid and making the bowel contents softer and able to move more easily.

It also helps lower blood cholesterol and improve blood glucose control.

Insoluble fibre acts as a ‘bulking agent’ which, with soluble fibre, helps to keep us regular.

This effect is useful in treatment of conditions such as constipation, diverticular disease and hemorrhoids.

How much fibre do we need?

Most New Zealander’s don’t eat enough fibre. Many of us eat less than half of the recommended amount of 25g for women and 30g for men each day.

Tips for increasing your fibre intake are listed below.

Adding high-fibre foods to your diet should be done gradually, to minimise possible side effects such as wind and bloating.

Relieving indigestion and heartburn Who hasn’t suffered from indigestion and heartburn, especially after overdoing it with food or drink, or when rushing meals?

For some of us, indigestion and heartburn happens for other reasons and can cause considerable discomfort. It’s good to know help is available from your pharmacist.

With indigestion (or dyspepsia), we can feel sick and experience gas, or a bloated feeling, in the stomach.

Indigestion causes discomfort and pain in the area between your ribs and belly button, and occurs during eating, or immediately after.

A common symptom of indigestion is heartburn, where there is a burning feeling rising upwards from the stomach towards the throat. The acid contents of the stomach return, or ‘reflux’, back into the oesophagus (the space between the throat and the stomach, which is shaped like a tube) and causes irritation there.

Indigestion and heartburn can be caused by: • Foods such as cabbage, onions, cucumber, curries and chocolate.

• Certain drinks, e.g. alcohol, fizzy drinks, strong coffee and tea.

• Eating food too fast; eating fatty or large meals, especially late at night.

• Stress and anxiety, smoking, bending and stooping, being overweight.

• Pregnancy • Certain medicines – such as aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medicines for pain and arthritis.

Try to identify the cause of your indigestion or heartburn and if possible avoid these things.

Stress and energy What happens when the B vitamins stop working?

For some people there comes a time when B vitamins no longer give you the energy boost they used to.

This is the body’s way of telling you your adrenals are stressed, and need a bit of rest (if possible) and repair.

A nt i-a n x iet y a nd calming herbs and nutrients may may be used to support the body during times of stress, such as; passionflower, ginger, lemon balm, chamomile, Korean ginseng, valerian, skullcap and L-theanine from green tea.

Many herbs have multiple actions in the body, so look for combination products that contains a range of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and zinc.

High-fibre diets are not recommended for young (preschool) children as they are too filling, preventing young children eating enough to meet their vitamin and mineral needs.

Tips: • Aim for at least five or more servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Leave the skin on, as it contains much of the fibre.

Fruit and vegetable juices contain little or no fibre.

• Choose wholegrain varieties of bread, cereals, rice and pasta. When baking, try substituting half of the white flour with wholemeal flour.

• High-fibre breakfast options include porridge or muesli.

Increase the fibre further by adding oatbran or wheatgerm, nuts, seeds (sunflower, sesame, pumpkin) and fruit (fresh or canned) • Try adding chickpeas, kidney beans or lentils to soups, casseroles.

• If you are eating more fibre-rich foods, drink more water than usual as fibre absorbs water in the body.

Water standards short of mark Government’s national freshwater standards fell well short of the mark to restore the water quality in rivers said a keynote speaker at this week’s 2014 Water Symposium in Blenheim.

The symposium held over five days saw 490 scientists gathering at Clubs of Marlborough.

T he Morgan Foundation’s

economist Geoff Simmons said government’s standard for rivers to be “wadeable” was inadequate.

Rivers should at least be “swimmable” and better still the health of aquatic invertebrate insect populations should be the major indicator of a river’s health.

“In our view the policies announced will not be enough to

Specialists in providing skilled vineyard labour Wishing all our clients a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year

Ad 8x3.5

constrain, let alone halt, degradation of waterways until they hit the rather lax bottom lines the Government has stipulated.

Later, Mr Simmons said the “wadeability” yardstick had not been arrived at by scientists as government had claimed. Instead, the decision-making process was “a mish-mash” between business groups, advocacy groups as well as scientists.

“There was a whole mishmash of influences in the bunfight making it impossible to pull out exactly what the

science of that was.”

A public survey showed 90 percent of New Zealanders want clean rivers which are safe to swim in. Of concern was currently, 50 percent of sewage discharges did not meet RMA requirements.

Geoff Simmons said tradeable water rights similar to tradeable fisheries quotas, i.e. a form of property rights to the resource had merit.

“The challenge is to develop a system of productivity to offset declining water quality,” he said. Geoff Simmons.

response to short gestation has been a huge part of that,” says Short G est at ion L eng t h breeding programme manager Malcolm Ellis.

Orders for SGL are more than double last season’s total, with more coming in each day as farmers incorporate the short gestation solution into their existing mating plans, either at the tail-end of artificial breeding before the bulls go out, or, somewhat surprisingly, after the natural mating period.

New way of thinking Traditionally farmers mate their herd to AB for a period before finishing with natural mating bulls, but the large number adopting a post-bull strategy with SGL this season has required the co-op

to extend its peak AB season into the New Year.

It’s something Ellis will be adopting on his own Waikato farm too.

“Sta r ting AB up again with short gestation makes a great deal of sense to reduce the number of empty cows without extending the calving spread next spring.

“I know one farmer who is planning to pull the bulls out of his multi-herd 2500-cow operation on Boxing Day, and get the tail paint back out to restart AB for a further 10 days of SGL matings.

Any farmers keen to receive SGL this Christmas should get in contact with LIC quickly so the co-op can secure an AB technician for their area at that time of year.

Two of our best

inbrief

For a country of less than five million people, we do pretty well to produce the athletes we do.

Present and future greats have been highlighted in the last seven days as Richie McCaw played his 100th All Black test as captain, and Lydia Ko won the season ending LPGA Championship in the US. These are two of our greatest sporting exports. McCaw is the face of the black wave, one of the most successful teams in world sport. Ko is not old enough to drink, but has already won five LPGA Tour titles, achieved unprecedented success at such a young age and is tipped to dethrone Tiger Woods as golf’s

RAMBLE DATE SET The 2015 Kaituna Ridges Ramble will be run on Saturday, April 11.

The 12 kilometre uphill course is set at the base of the Pelorus Sounds in the Kaituna Valley.

biggest name.

McCaw is idolised as much by his own foot soldiers as despised by the enemy hordes. Blues and occasional All Blacks midfielder Francis Saili recited a humourous anecdote about rooming with McAwesome after getting his first call-up.

He told of how he entered the room and McCaw was showering.

Nervous, he waited for him to emerge and racked his mind for conversation topics. When he did, he involuntarily blurted out “how was your shower?”

As the night went on the pair traded questions without threatening to break the colossal iceberg that had formed, and eventually

McCaw stopped talking and went to sleep.

Experts say there’s nothing remarkable about Ko’s game, but the consistency she displays is frightening. It’s normal for young players in any sport to have stretches of poor form, but it hasn’t happened yet. She is measured and unflappable, even as her body and mind are yet to fully develop.

Both of these are veteran’s traits. If she stays fit and focused she could have a mind-boggling six decades left in the game.

Both maintain very normal off-field personas. They’re the full package – a blueprint for young athletes to follow.

Emily ready to set sail

ATHLETICS

By Adam Poulopoulos Despite having a donation box stolen, young sailor Emily Overend has raised the funds she needed to make her trip to New Caledonia.

Emily, a member of the Queen Charlotte Yacht Club, was selected to represent the New Zealand Under-12 Development Squad at the Optimist New Caledonia 2014 national sailing championships.

While raising funds Emily had a donation box stolen from Picton Village Bakkerij in October.

Nevertheless the Queen Charlotte College Year 7 pupil has raised $5000 for the trip, and will compete in Noumea early next month.

As well as through donations, Emily has raised funds by completing jobs like walking dogs, washing windows, washing cars and weeding.

All her work has been completed around her school and sailing commitments, which included training and regattas in Auckland and Taupo.

Emily’s mother Michelle Overend said they were thankful for the support they had received.

“She’s done really well and the people have been really kind.

“There were some quite sizeable anonymous donations.”

The Blenheim Rotary Club was one of the organisations to pitch in, presenting Emily with a $200 cheque earlier this month.

Michelle said the regatta would pose chal-

The next Marlborough Harriers senior athletics day is scheduled for Tuesday, beginning at 5:30pm at Athletic Park.

The programme includes the 100 metres, 400 metres, 1500 metres, long jump and shot put.

RUGBY Tasman Makos captain Shane Christie has been nominated in the ITM Cup player of the year category at the Steinlager Awards.

Coach Kieran Keane has been nominated in the coach of the year bracket.

The ceremony will be held in Auckland on December 11.

HARRIERS Ross Logan and Les McKay have been made life members of the Marlborough Harriers’ Club.

The announcement was made at the club’s AGM on Monday night.

At the same ceremony Ian Columbus was appointed patron of the club.

Emily will travel to New Caledonia with the rest of the 10-strong squad on December 6, and return on December 16.
