Men being more romantic Continued from page 1 “There has even been a lot of men being thoughtful of the Wine Festival being the same day and having the flowers delivered in the morning.

“It’s good to see kiwi blokes being romantic and showing their softer side, even if it’s only for one day,” she laughs.

The tradition of giving red roses and cute teddy bears bearing ‘I love you’ hearts are still popular, Stacey says, as is chocolate.

“I have one young man who has organised a chocolate bouquet for his girlfriend, how can you go wrong with that,”

she jokes.

Mayflower Studio owner Jane Robinson says she had received orders for roses in an assort-

ment of colours, including one bouquet of all white.

“The men are being quite traditional this year and show-

ing interest in how the flowers are being presented.

“They are looking online at what we do, then talking to us about the different options, whether they be roll wrapped or open bouquets.”

Other alternatives, Jane says, have been orders for bright gerberas and sunflowers.

“They seem to be going for either the romantic or the bright and vibrant.”

The most romantic Valentine’s Day gesture she says, is one man who has ordered a rose to be delivered every hour for the whole day then a dozen at the end.

Fire and drought toll The Onamalutu Valley, Northbank fire last week has already burnt around 620ha, including forest, tree lots, some agricultural land and small holdings, with a large number of rural residents affected.

While the fire is largely under control, helicopters and ground crews are still monitoring the situation, and continue to work within the fire area.

As the hot days continue, farmers are reporting increasingly dry conditions in Marlborough.

Blenheim has had its lowest rainfall in 85 years over the July 2014 - January 2015 period, receiving only 35 percent of the long term average rainfall of 381mm.

Other areas of Marlborough are similarly suffering significantly lower rainfall, including Avon Valley, which has received only 245mm of rainfall, 53 percent of the long term average.

Currently, nine of the sixteen consent areas have had their right to irrigate suspended.

These include: - Waihopai Class A, - Awatere Class C B&C - Flaxbourne Class A - Wairau Class C - Omaka River Class B - Needles Creek.

Public urged to ‘keep eye out’ for pest Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk The Chilean Needle Grass (CNG) Action Group would like to thank the Marlborough community for their co-operation and support in identifying the weed pest which is a very real threat to agriculture.

One of the latest locations found to have the pest weed was at the Wither Hills Farm Park.

Mark Smith who farms t he pa rk a ler t e d t he Ma rlborough Dist r ict Council’s biosecurity team around Christmas time, and an immediate search of the area was carried out.

This discovery, and the spray programme that quickly followed, has highlighted the need to continue raising awareness across the

whole community not just to vineyard operators and farmers.

“We really want people using the Wither Hills Farm Park to keep an eye out for the seeds and plants.

“Check your shoes and socks for the seeds to help prevent the spread, and if you do come across any please contact biosecurity at the council,” Marlborough District Council biosecurity co-ordinator Jono Underwood says.

“It could be anywhere so the more people who know about it the better.”

There are now 154 known sites in Marlborough ranging from just a plant or two, to larger infestations particularly in the core Blind River area.

TRUCK VS CAR State Highway One north of Kaikoura was closed on Wednesday after a truck and car collided around 4:30pm.

While no one was injured, the truck caught fire and ignited scrub on the side of the road near Half Moon Bay. The road was reopened by the evening.

DONATION PAGE SUCCESSFUL A donation page set up by the Marlborough SPCA after they had five puppies dumped on their doorstep last week is proving successful so far.

As of yesterday afternoon, $1000 had been donated to the Givealittle page.

On top of our usual amount of animals to rehome the SPCA has 19 puppies to feed, vaccinate, worm, and desex before finding them a new home.

The page closes on March 31.

Piers top of the class Last year’s Marlborough Boys’ College dux got a surprise this week when he found out he had achieved the top marks nationwide in one of his exams.

Piers Landon-Lane achieved the top marks in the country in the 2014 NCEA scholarship chemistry exam.

He says he was shocked when he logged in to the NZQA website to check his results, and realised his achievement.

“It’s pretty special. I got quite excited about it.

“I thought I’d done well in the chemistry test but not that well.

“It put a big smile on my face.”

Chemistry was one of four scholarship exams Piers passed.

He also achieved an outstanding endorsement in physics, which meant he was in the top two percent of the country, as well as passing statistics and calculus.

He leaves for Christchurch tomorrow to start an engineering degree at the University of

Canterbury.

“I’m excited and ready for the challenge,” he says.

Piers’s teacher Sally Withers says while he is extremely talented, his work ethic and self-discipline had helped him achieve highly, while principal Wayne Hegarty says the whole school community is proud of his achievement.

Altogether, five MBC students combined for 11 scholarship passes in 2014.

Countdown to Wine Festival almost over

This weekend sees the return of the biggest event on the Marlborough social calendar.

The Marlborough Wine and Food Festival takes place at the Brancott vineyard tomorrow.

The R18 event begins at 10:30am, and finishes at 6pm. Wine sales conclude at 5:30pm. After 3pm those purchasing wine will only be able to buy two glasses at a time.

Wine tutorials and cooking demonstrations will be held, as will the Fashion in the Vines competition.

Ray McVinnie, Kasey and Karena Bird and Josh Emett will be among

the chefs present on the day.

The competition has moved off the catwalk this year, and is being held on photo-sharing app Instagram.

The Black Seeds will be providing the musical entertainment.

The forecast for the day is fine.

Organisers encourage festivalgoers to bring water bottles, as there are stations where they can be refilled, and cups will also be available.

The festival has been running since 1985, and has been held at the Brancott Vineyard since 1987. Matthew Brydon, Nadine Rarity, Tim Burt, Holly Lyall and Sam Solly, also known as "Martin's flock", at last year's festival.

Former taxi driver selling coffee

By Adam Poulopoulos A car accident led a Blenheim taxi driver to look at a change of career, selling coffee out of his van.

David Rennie and wife Deirdrie started Hazbeanz a week before Christmas.

They serve coffee each morning from the carpark of A1 Drycleaning and Laundry on High Street, and are available to work at events.

David says he was a taxi driver in Blenheim for 20 years before the incident which changed his outlook.

Farmers are reporting increasingly dry conditions in Marlborough, and Federated Farmers Marlborough has established a local drought committee so stakeholders can keep up to date and discuss the issues.

The group is led by provincial president Greg Harris, and includes the Rural Support Trust, Ministry for Primary Industries, Beef & Lamb, Dairy

NZ and the Marlborough District Council.

Federated Farmers has compiled a list of resources available to farmers during the dry, which can be found on their website, as well as opening a Feed line.

The feed line provides a venue to introduce members, who want to buy and sell feed, but we do not take any part in the sale of feed and it is up to

prospective buyers/sellers to get in touch with each other themselves.

Blenheim has had its lowest rainfall in 85 years over the July 2014 - January 2015 period, receiving only 35 percent of the long term average rainfall.

Other areas of Marlborough are similarly suffering significantly lower rainfall, and currently, nine of the 16 consent areas have had their right to

irrigate suspended.

These restrictions have the potential for adverse social and economic impacts in the longer term. However farmers are adapting to the conditions and are managing the situation by carrying minimal capital stock, feeding supplements to stock and, in some cases, destocking whole properties until the conditions recover.

He says the behaviour of some taxi passengers made the decision easier.

“I really enjoyed it, but I got sick of the hours and sick of the drunks.”

David and Deirdrie took a coffee course with InFusion owner Melanie Jones before starting their new venture.

David says the business is continuing to grow.

“It’s been hard coming from the taxi business which was already established to something where you’re working from the ground up.

Onamalutu Fire The Onamalutu fire has been a major emergency for our region but, thanks to the sterling work of our Marlborough Kaikoura Rural Fire Authority and the many fire fighters who answered the call, there has been no loss of life and property damage has been contained.

The efficient and well-coordinated response underlined the effect of a decision made to restructure our region’s rural fire fighting system into a single body in 2012, when four different organisations were brought under the governance of the new MKRFA subsequently headed up by Principal Rural Fire Office Richard (Mac) McNamara.

Stakeholders include the Department of Conservation,Marlborough District Council,Kaikoura District Council,forest owners and Federated Farmers.

The threat to the Onamalutu Valley community has also been a timely reminder of the importance of good neighbourhood networks, particularly in isolated areas. All districts are encouraged to set up their own

systems for contacting and assisting neighbours. For more information about resources available to help communities get prepared, contact Marlborough Emergency Services officer Gary Spence, phone 520 7400.

New head of school looks to bring laughter

By Adam Poulopoulos A former Fairhall School pupil is hoping to use her year in charge at a Christchurch college to lift the gloom after a tough 2014.

Jess Wood is Head of School at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, the school she has boarded at since leaving Blenheim in 2011.

She was born in Blenheim, and attended Fairhall School from 2002 to 2010.

Jess is basing her time in charge on promoting fun, following a sombre year at the college.

Last year, two Rangi Ruru students passed away. One was a good friend of Jess’s, who contracted meningococcal disease.

“So the girls and I decided this year was going to be all about having laughter and fun,” Jess says.

Jess and her leadership team came up with an acronym, FLOB, which stands for Fun, Laughter, Opportunity and Belonging.

Now, the question ‘have you FLOBbed today?’ is a regular inquiry on school grounds.

“We remade ‘Uptown Funk’ (a Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars song) with ‘Rangi

FLOB,” she says.

“We welcomed the Year 7s, got them all an ice-cream and got them to paint a banner with ‘FLOB’ on it, which is going to be put up at different places around the school.”

Before the school year began Jess attended the Student Leadership Conference on the Gold Coast for five days, along with about 160 other girls in school leadership positions from Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and America.

Outside the classroom Jess sells wristbands with the message ‘Every Second Counts,’ raising funds for The Meningitis Foundation as a tribute to her friend.

She plays basketball and rows, and is due to head to the Maadi Cup at Lake Karapiro next month.

Jess’s achievement has not gone unnoticed at Fairhall School, and principal Steve Crockett says he is not surprised at the announcement.

“She was a role-model for other students throughout the school in giving her personal best, showing respect and integrity and having that determination to succeed.”

Council ‘not’ with farmers The Marlborough District Council was criticised by farmers attending the recent monthly meeting of Marlborough Federated Farmers.

It surfaced during a discussion on the council’s district plan draft review containing several stringent rule proposals.

Several farmers said the council was out of touch and not conversant with the realities and practicalities of farming, particularly dairying.

Two dairy farmers said council was welcome to go to their farms. Richard Tripe of Koromiko said he complied with Fonterra’s standards.

“Fonterra standards are tough. Why should Marlborough District Council standards be tougher?” he asked.

“Council and staff are welcome on my farm to look at the practical workings of a dairy farm and understand the need for sensible,

practical rules.

“Dairy farmers want to work with council.

Council is welcome on my farm,” he adds.

Wairau Valley dairy farmer Evan White agreed, saying council would be welcome to visit his farm.

gardening

Sow, trim, feed Although the calendar says it’s the end of summer, February is exhibiting extreme heat and dry conditions, making it stressful for gardens and gardeners alike.

Here are some helpful tips for your garden checklist in February.

Reviving trims Trim back faded or leggy summer annuals like petunia, calibrachoa or annual salvia, then feed with liquid plant food. This stimulates new growth and extends the flowering season right into autumn.

Heat and humidity can take a toll on roses, but it’s not too late for a reviving summer prune.

Don’t be too fussy, just shear off 30-40 percent of overall growth including spent flower stems.

Water deeply and six weeks later you’ll be rewarded with fabulous autumn blooms.

February Pest Watch Lawn pests like porina and grass grubs are active in late summer and autumn and heavy infestations can destroy your lawn.

You may notice the lawn looking thinner, patchy and discoloured. Porina caterpillars feed at night and shelter during the day so they are hard to spot.

Treat with lawn insect control and monitor regularly. Once the lawn begins to grow again, apply some lawn food to bring the

“All we want is sound commonsense, rational reasoning and fair rules.”

Kristy McGregor, Federated Farmers NZ regional policy advisor, says Marlborough Federated Farmers was fortunate to be consulted early in the process prior to the

plan notification.

She emphasised it was a draft plan with rules only proposals at this stage.

However on perusing some of the matters in a report, delegates were not satisfied.

Linkwater dairy farmer Sharon Parkes questioned why council was proposing some rules no other region had.

“Why is Marlborough doing it? It’s done nowhere else,” she said.

Mention was made of council’s draft rule to ban the application of fertilisers or lime to “free draining soils when lime was a soil conditioner.

Ian Gifford of Rapaura said council should be ashamed of the staff making such impractical and unreasonable rules.

Kristy McGregor advised delegates to discuss the proposals with neighbouring farmers and speak to Marlborough District councillors.

lawn back to its former lush green.

Citrus Citrus trees are carrying their winter crops now so it’s important to keep them well watered and well fed.

Potted citrus can be fertilised fortnightly using a liquid plant food.

Check for the bumps of scale insects on leaves and stems of citrus. These sap-sucking pests hide beneath a protective coating and suck the goodness out of the plants.

Spray on a cool, clear day to help control pests like mealy bug and thrips. White fly can be a major problem for citrus, too, and it’s important to spray beneath the leaves where these pests are hiding.

Sun Business Update

Murray’s handy service In a recent career move, local man Murray Charlton has decided since he enjoyed the outdoors, he would start a new business mowing lawns, gardening and general handyman jobs around the home.

His business, Murray’s Gardening & Handyman Service is focused on taking care of the jobs people find they don’t have time for, or need a bit of help with.

Jobs like digging, pruning, section tidy-ups, rubbish removal and cleaning up leaves in autumn are an example of the things Murray will take care of.

Murray has previous experience as a school caretaker which was work he enjoyed, as well as working as a builder’s labourer (building homes) where he gained skills which are handy around the home.

“Everything I have done is based around people and customer service, which is something I look forward to doing with this new business,” he says.

Because he is a people person, Murray enjoys the interaction with the public and goes out of his way to try to make someone’s day memorable.

Murray Charlton

Being an ex-policeman, Murray is also conscious that people, particularly the elderly, need to know that the person they have in and around their home is trustworthy and honest.

So, whatever the job around the home and garden, Murray is happy to get it done.

“No job is too small.”

Raiza Biza coming to Blenheim Fresh from headlining his first festival, an up-and-coming Auckland-based musician is heading to Blenheim for a show later this month.

Raiza Biza, real name Ray Ruzibiza, will be performing his jazz and soulinfused style of contemporary hip-hop on Friday, February 20 at Ritual Café, beginning at 9:30pm.

The Rwandan-born artist worked with artists like PNC and P-Money on his latest album, and he headlined the Summerbend festival in Hawke’s Bay at the end of last month.

He says he is looking forward to

coming to Blenheim for the first time.

“I always look forward to play different places.

“I did some stuff in the South Island during festival season in early January.

It’s a whole different vibe out there.”

He says he has a wide range of subject matter, including his close friend suffering from depression, questions about the universe and his experiences with women.

“I look at everything that happens around me, and things that happen to me and my friends.

“To an extent it’s social commentary

but to an extent it’s also self-exploration.”

Having worked with several Kiwi hip-hop artists in the past, he says he is now starting to make his own mark.

“I imagine Blenheim doesn’t have many hip-hop gigs coming through, so people will get a glimpse of the direction New Zealand hip-hop is going.

“I’m part of a new wave, which is very different and unique. It’s fun but if you’re a thinking person you can follow the lyrics too.”

Water ‘harvesting’ for dry summers?

The present dry, drought-like summer has underlined the need for water harvesting where winter and spring rains are collected and stored in dams says Marlborough Federated Farmers’ president Greg Harris.

Rapaura farmer Alister Campbell said at a recent meeting that in the past the Marlborough

Soaring succulent A Springlands couple have been surprised to see their succulent grow about 20 feet tall since the beginning of the year.

The plant has sprouted suddenly after lying dormant for about four years.

The plant, possibly a hybrid of up to three different succulents, is likely to continue blooming for about two weeks more before dying.

District Council told applicants there was plenty of water.

“Now it’s coming back to bite them in the backside,” he said.

Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy yesterday officially declared the drought conditions on the east coast of the South Island, including Marlborough as being a medium-scale ad-

verse event.

“This is recognition of the extreme dry conditions farmers and growers are facing, and triggers additional Government support,” says Mr Guy. “Most farmers have coped so far by destocking and using feed supplies, and most will not need extra support. However it’s clear

Judging Halbergs

inbrief

In a hugely talented group, there had to be some unlucky ones…

Wednesday night’s Halberg Awards showcased the purple patch New Zealand sport has been going through in recent times.

Rowers Hamish Bond and Eric Murray took the top gong, beating golfer Lydia Ko, Black Caps cricket captain Brendon McCullum and Paralympic swimmer Mary Fisher.

It’s hard to ignore Bond and Murray’s achievements – last year they won gold medals in both the coxed and coxless pair at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam. Since 2007 they have amassed seven World Rowing Championship gold medals and

Athletics The Marlborough Senior Athletics Club meets again on Tuesday from 5:30pm at Athletic Park.

The programme will comprise of the 200 metres, 400m, 3000m, high jump, javelin and hammer.

The 3000m will start at 6pm.

World Cup Ireland and the West Indies will face off in Nelson in a Cricket World Cup game on Monday.

The game is being played at Saxton Oval, with the first ball scheduled for 11am.

Cricket Biddy Kates Celtic and Cornerstone Wairau Cavaliers will contest tonight’s senior grade T20 final at Horton Park.

A powerful Cavaliers batting performance in Wednesday’s final round-robin game saw them score a 63-run win over Grove Tavern Wairau, and secure their place in the final.

Celtic, who had already qualified before Wednesday’s final roundrobin games, secured a 12-run win over Criterion Hotel Wairau Valley.

The first ball tonight is at 5:15pm.

Touch A dozen players from Marlborugh are heading to Auckland for the SAS Junior National Touch Championships this weekend.

They will be representing Tasman across the under-15 and under-17 grades.

The tournament begins today and finishes on Sunday.

one Olympic gold medal.

Regardless, Ko is one who can count herself unlucky.

She is a victim of timing – she reached the number one women’s golf ranking at the start of the month, outside the judging window. Regardless, her achievements in 2014, her first full year as a professional, were incredible.

She beat three world champions to win female athlete of the year, including Valerie Adams, who has regularly featured in that category.

There’s something to be said for her age too. Ko is still yet to turn 18 – did that come into the reckoning? She can console herself with the fact she’s almost guaranteed to win it in the future.

It’s difficult to ascertain the criteria by which the Halbergs are judged – it’s all pretty fluid.

The All Whites won the supreme award in 2011, more for overachieving – going through the World Cup group stages unbeaten was an amazing achievement, but they didn’t reach the latter stages of the tournament either.

Does how popular the sport is worldwide come into the equation? Does being a team give you an advantage because achieving highly requires input from several different sources? It’d be interesting to know what the judging panel takes into consideration or if it comes down solely to personal opinion.

Sheridan to ride in rodeo open division After about three years bareback riding and about five years riding altogether, Marlburian Robert Sheridan was excited about breaking open last month.

Sheridan will be riding in the bareback and both bull events at the Tua Marina Rodeo on Sunday, February 22.

After three years accumulating points he now has enough to make his entrance into the top division, the open division, for the first time.

Sheridan, who rides in rodeos around the country, will be riding in Reefton the day before.

The Tua Marina Rodeo is being held at the normal venue on Blind Creek Road and be-

ginning at 11am, with gates opening at 10am.

It is likely to attract between 2000 and 3000 people, with all proceeds going to Tua Marina School.

Monster trucks and vintage machinery will also be there on the day, with band Gold Rush providing the entertainment.

The kids dress up competition, with the ‘best cowboy/ cowgirl fancy dress’ theme, will be done at noon.

Refreshments, food stalls and EFTPOS facilities will be available.

Right: Robert Sheridan in action.

Staying sun smart

By Adam Poulopoulos The Brooklyn Croquet Club has started a ‘sun smart’ policy this season, an initiative which includes their new uniforms.

Club members now sport polo shirts, in the club colours of sky blue with navy trim, with ‘Brooklyn Croquet Club’ emblazoned on the left-hand side.

As well as identifying club members, the shirts have an ultraviolet protection factor of 25.

Club promotions officer Margaret Campbell says the process began at the start of the season.

“It all started when I realised my shirt was getting a bit tatty and I wanted one the same colour.

“I bought one at Mitchell Sports, and I was here one day and the others were admiring it.

“Everyone had a different shade of blue, so I thought we should buy a uniform shirt in appropriate colours.”

Now, about 80 percent of the club owns one.

Newman Graphics embroidered the shirts.

“Quite a few of us have had lesions removed, so it’s important to keep covered up,” Margaret says.

She says the shirts have also given club members a sense of belonging.

Club secretary Pam Sawyer says the club’s sun smart drive has not ended with the shirts.

“Members are also encouraged to wear caps or hats while out playing and water is

“Cancer Society Marlborough has generously provided our club with UV sunscreen as part of our sun smart campaign which is much appreciated.”

Brooklyn Croquet Club operates Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, starting at 1pm at Whitehead Park, off Brooklyn Drive.

Four half-hour games of golf croquet are played each afternoon.
