Medical marvels By Jacob Page It is fair to say Molly Elliott and Kaleb Donald can handle pressure better than most their age and now they have the medals to prove it. The duo won the gold medal as a pair while Kaleb also claimed the individual title at the South Island St John Championships in Ashburton.

Molly and Kaleb stay calm under pressure Continued from page 1 They were two of four young Marlburians who competed at the event which saw over 500 of the most up-and-coming paramedics competing in first aid tests, drill tests, communications with caregivers as well as in individuals and as a pair. Molly is team leader while Kaleb is the lead first aider in the intermediate grade. Molly and Kaleb had been practicing various scenarios twice a week leading up to the event and it helped them go one step further than their second place effort at the regionals. The duo will now go to a national selection camp to pick the best. Team manager Jane Donald says they both remain calm and focussed under pressure and communicate well. “I feel more confident going into national
selections in two weeks,” Kaleb says. Both say their parents had an influence on them joining St John. Molly says she wants to continue on to a health career while Kaleb would like to study medicine at Otago University. “I’d really like to be a paediatrician,” Kaleb says. “Mum and Dad both did St John and they thought it would be good for me to do it as well, so I have been doing it since 2012,” Kaleb says. “I started about 2008,” Molly says. “I’ve always been interested in medical care and I’d like to continue studying health.” Kaleb says fellow teammates Joe Slape, 12, Chloe Speck, 13 and Laurie Duncan who all competed in Ashburton, have been tremendously helpful as well.

A warm welcome for godwits Church bells will mark the return of the bar-tailed godwit to Marlborough this year, after an epic journey from Alaska to the Wairau Lagoons. Will and Rose Parsons from Driftwood Retreat and EcoTours get excited about the 12,000km migration every year, and decided it was time to make some noise about it. “It’s an incredible feat of endurance, and this is a nice way to let more people know something significant is happening,” he said. They contacted The Church of the Nativity, and asked whether they would ring the church bells when the godwits were first spotted. Christchurch had welcomed
the godwits this way for several years, ringing church bells for half an hour to mark the birds’ return, he said. The event could happen in Blenheim any day now, because the godwits may already have landed, but not been spotted due to heavy river flows. “If they’re not here already it will be very soon. And as soon as we can see them, we’ll have them ring the bells.” Vicar Bob Barnes of The Church of the Nativity said he was delighted with the idea, because “celebrating creation” fit perfectly with the mission of the Anglican Church. He said it wouldn’t be a toll for every bird, “but I’ll give it a darn good donging.”
The bar-tailed godwit will fly 12,000km to get to its summer residence of the Wairau Lagoons.

Police remember, acknowledge their own By Jacob Page The sacrifice and commitment of Marlborough Police has been acknowledged on Police Remembrance Day. A ceremony was held yesterday at the Clubs of Marlborough to remember officers who died on duty as well as long serving members of the Marlborough Police. Marlborough area commander inspector Simon Feltham says it was one of the most important days on the police calendar. “Today, we remember the 29 men who paid the ultimate sacrifice in discharging their oath of office, we pay respect to their families, we pay respect to past police officers and the returned service men and women and serving members of the armed forces and our service

police officers who continue to put themselves in harm’s way.” Simon says police must remain vigilant to the risks that go with their job. He also stated his officers must continue to earn the respect of the public they serve with their hard
work each day. He says while acknowledgement of public service may seem old fashioned it was important it continued to be recognised and appreciated. He says he welcomed the increased scrutiny of his team. “I see this added scrutiny as a sign
that the public still see us as relevant and important members of their community.” Six Marlborough police officers received long service awards during the ceremony. There were also two diplomas in workplace practices.
St John shop a treasure trove with a cause By Jacob Page The first year of the St John charity shop had been “a huge success” according to St John Ambulance Marlborough area committee chairman Rod Hill. The charity shop in Boyce Street, Springlands not only has thousands of donated items but those items have turned into precious dollars St John has used to fund important purchases that are being used in the Marlborough community. Rod says the money generated has helped purchase life packs which include a defibrillator that takes a person’s pulse and temperature. Each pack costs $22,000. “We have many people who come in here regularly to drop off items and end up spending money buying other things so it’s
Friday girls and everyone really enjoys it.” Marlene says while “big ticket” items like couches were always nice to sell there was still plenty of demand for bric-a-brac items like plates, saucers and cups. “Chances are if you have a look around you’ll find what you’re looking for here,” she says. Marlene says they also have generous support from the community and work with other charitable shops. “Even if we can’t sell something we will give it to The Blue Door or The hard working Friday team at the St John Charity Shop celebrate the Sallies and we’ll recommend one year in business. people go there if they are looking a full circle.

Dedicated Joe honoured Ma rlborough Police, along with members of the Marlborough Coastguard, paid tribute to one of Marlborough’s local heroes at a ceremony on Arapawa Island on Friday. Joe Heberley has been the ‘go to man’ for Police search and rescue when boaties get into trouble in the Marlbrough Sounds and Cook Strait for decades. Joe, along with his sons and with his late father can be credited with saving the lives of countless people who have got themselves into difficulty on the water. At the surprise presentation ceremony at the Heberley farm on the island, Marlborough Police Area Commander Inspector Simon Feltham presented Joe with a District Commander’s Commendation and a plaque in appreciation from Marlborough Police. Simon says Joe had probably done more than any other person in Marlborough to support the community and

serve others. “Police are enormously reliant on people in the community to help us out and provide expertise and local knowledge of the area when we are involved in a rescue. “Joe’s expertise has been invaluable and numerous people wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t
for his expertise and efforts. His selfless commitment to service has saved countless lives and contributed to the rescue of numerous vessels and people in distress,” he said. Joe says as fishermen living in a remote environment “you don’t hesitate” to go to the aid
of others. “We might all be in that position one day and hoping that someone will come,” he said. Coastguard Marlborough President Dick Chapman also presented Joe with an honorary life membership and a plaque in appreciation of his service.
Marlborough a stop for wine scholars By Jacob Page New Zealand Winegrowers has announced the names of nine successful sommeliers who will participate in the inaugural Sommit Scholarship, held in New Zealand, including Marlborough, from January 30 to February 6 next year. The successful candidates will engage with and learn from some of the great minds in the New Zealand wine business.
They will taste a range of premium wines from New Zealand and the rest of the world on an intensive seven-day programme incorporating flagship events on the New Zealand wine industry’s national calendar. The first event in the scholarship programme is the Sommelier Summit, hosted by local sommeliers Cameron Douglas MS and Stephen Wong, says Catherine Wansink, Market
Manager Australia at New Zealand Winegrowers. “Cameron and Stephen will be presenting their own ‘hidden gems’ of New Zealand wine and will lead discussions on growing trends such as natural wines and organic and biodynamic production.” The successful sommeliers will also attend the International Sauvignon Blanc Celebration in Marlborough, the Chardonnay
and Sparkling Wine Symposium in Gisborne, and the Forage event in North Canterbury. “This is a great opportunity for Australia’s emerging and top sommeliers to immerse themselves in the New Zealand wine industry and gain a greater understanding of the diverse range of premium wines we produce” says Ms Wansink. “It will be an unforgettable experience.”

Food from the heart “Food is something people create from the heart, a passion to share with others. This, delivered with a standard of service that makes people smile is what we strive for everyday.” These are the words of Railway Cafe and Store manager Charles Guillon, who on behalf of the owners is excited to announce new additions to the already popular business. “We have exceptional food and service that makes people feel welcome so they not only enjoy their experience, but want to come back for more. “This is something we are extremely proud of and we want to tell everyone about it. Come on in and try it for yourself,” Charles says. The cafe opened prior to Christmas last year and has been a hot spot for many locals who enjoy the range of handcrafted pies, rolls, sandwiches, cakes and muffins and in particular, the coffee. But just when customers thought they had tasted their favourites, Charles and his team have now introduced an even more tempting selection of french inspired pastries. Authentic delicacies such as the Croque Monsieur have already gained a lot of attention, as will the french baked breads that provide a teaser for the new menu which launches this week. “Our food is from the heart... it can’t get more personal than that,” Charles smiles.
Come & experience Kiwi Kiss award winning ice cream as well as our delicious and scrumptious food. As exciting as the new menu has been for Charles and his team, the best news has been left for today to announce. “We are roasting our own coffee!” “This is something I have been waiting to do and I am so excited to introduce this,” he says.

Bypass for Blenheim? Dear Ed, What myopic attitude staff and some councillors have to the need for a by-pass to the east of Blenheim to allow trucks and ferry traffic to get on the highway south. On a recent North Island trip I noticed towns with bypasses. Taupo’s by-pass is a massive one and through traffic instead of congesting the shopping area, can carry on at 100 km/hour. Tokoroa is another example. Indeed we turned off into Tokoroa’s shopping centre for morning tea. The reality is there’s two kinds of travellersthose intent on getting to their destination south and those who will turn off for accommodation, a meal or a cuppa or shopping. In Blenheim’s case the congestion occurring in Grove Road and Main Street could be alleviated by a by-pass. Travellers and trucks headed to Christchurch can get on the road without experiencing frustration and lost time wending their way via Grove Road and Main Street. For staff and councillors who don’t know myopic - it means short-sighted. Shelby Wright

I assist in several ways as a Peer Support worker, which means making members feel comfortable in a place where people are not being discriminated against. When the people are in the community there can be stigma about mental illness. So, being involved with C.A.R.E Marlborough can help a person to cope and have a sense of belonging which helps support a person’s recovery. People can drop in to our house and find comfort and support. Meals are provided six days a week and members can bring family and friends to the house each Saturday afternoon.

Blenheim’s CBD Dear Ed, Recently the council raised parking meter fees in central Blenheim from 80c an hour to $1.50 an hour. This contrasts with council attitudes to central business districts (CBD) in other centres. For example Tauranga gives CBD free parking up to 9 am and after 3 pm. Rotorua was similar and Nelson I believe has similar incentives. The attitude of Marlborough council that parking fees are a cash cow is wrong. Why not have more “time limit” parking ranging from 15 minutes to 60 minutes? Who made the decision to go from 80c to $1.50 an hour? Probably management? Did councillors have a say? Frank Henry

Young ambition Picton chef Ashley Guy began his career pursuit in his early teens, determined to succeed. He talks to reporter Celeste Lodewyk about his experiences and what advice he has for youth. The journey to becoming a professional chef isn’t easy, Ashley says. At the tender age of 23 Ashley is the head chef and manager of Picton restaurant Red Salt after years of training, work experience and hard work. He was 14 when he first started looking for a job working in a kitchen. “I knew I had a passion for food so my parents helped me get a job at the Russely Hotel which was part of Christchurch’s Scenic Group. “I started out as a kitchen hand, washing dishes and doing anything the other chefs told me to. But I was happy with that, I just wanted to get a foot in the door.” Ashley was there for six months before it closed down to be replaced by a retirement village. He went for a position with the Cotswold Hotel, also part of the Scenic Hotels Group as a kitchen hand and it wasn’t long before opportunities began to present themselves. “I expressed to the chefs that I wanted to start learning the food side which worked out well as I was given the chance to assist with desserts. “That there was my first launching point,” he grins. After a period of time the hotel’s breakfast chef announced he was leaving and Ashley was then offered their position. He was at that stage aged 15. “I was so stoked. There I was, 15 years old and taking over a breakfast station. I was pretty happy by then,” he laughs. On his first day of work as the breakfast chef Ashley had to cater for 150 which he says was a real ‘baptism by fire’. “Really, I was thrown into the deep end and had to learn to swim out. At that point it was make or break so I just went in head down, bum up and worked as hard as I could. “They obviously saw something in me because I was offered an apprenticeship with training through CPIT.” Juggling his training with the demands of work Ashley admits there were times he
‘doubted his ability’. “I remember working three weeks straight of split shifts and on the second day I really wondered if this was what I wanted. “I knew it was what I loved to do and I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, so it was a matter of keeping positive and continuing to work hard,” he says. Ashley qualified at 18 and was the youngest in the whole course intake he says. From there his employer the Scenic Hotels Group gave him the opportunity to transfer anywhere in the country. “I wanted to stay in the South Island close to family so when the Blenheim Hotel offer came up I said yes. It included work for the Marlborough Convention Centre catering for big functions which I liked the challenge of.” Ashley worked there for three years, but after a conversation with one of the head chefs where Ashley mentioned he wanted a new challenge, he was offered a position at the Red Salt Cafe Bar & Restaurant in Picton. He was there right from the beginning, helping with the interior renovations before opening in February 2014. One month into operations Ashley was asked to take over the management and running of the business. “This was exactly the challenge I was looking for,” he says. Ashley says much of his success was due to Scenic Hotels Group directors Earl and Lani Hagaman. “Earl and Lani have always been good to me. They covered my training and qualification costs and have always made me feel valued. “They also helped me to understand the business side of running Red Salt by providing training and ongoing support. They are great people to work for,” he says. Focusing on the future Ashley is gearing up for a big season in Picton with a new menu being launched and preparing for a busy cruise ship season. “We are expecting just under 100,000 passengers this season, so it should be
really good.” Asked what his advice to youth wanting to pursue a career would be, Ashley answers; “If you have a rough idea of what you want to do, just let people know.” “See what is going on. If you don’t put a foot

in the door you won’t get anywhere. “Keep a positive attitude and don’t just go into a job for a wage, go in with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and you will go a long way.”

Pam says they have no set genre of music and explore everything from contemporary to classical and everything in between. They also like to test themselves

Mental Health Awareness Week Give the gift of time The Mental Health Awareness Week is marked in over 150 countries and in New Zealand, runs from October 5 - 11. This year’s theme is ‘Give – your time, your words, your presence’.
Exercising makes you feel good. Discover a physical activity you enjoy and one that suits your level of mobility and fitness. Do what you can, enjoy what you do, be active and move your mood.
“Your time – te wa ki a koe, your words – o kupu, your presence – ko koe tonu.” The awareness week encourages people to do something nice for a A simple hug can turn a frown upside down. friend, or a stranger.

Reach out to friends and family If you support someone with a mental illness, you may face practical and emotional problems from time to time. There is no right or wrong way to support someone with a mental illness. How you support someone will depend on you and the person you care for. T here a re a nu mb er of Marlborough based organisations which can provide support, advice, advocacy and most
importantly... a listening ear. The important thing to remember is that you are not alone. Whether you yourself are experiencing mental health issues, finding it hard to understand your feelings or simply feel alone, there is always someone who understands your situation and can help. Reach out, talk to people and don’t isolate yourself.

Rowers make big impression Sport inbrief
By Jacob Page Sarah Lissaman and Cynthia de Joux were the standouts for the Blenheim Rowing Club at the New Zealand Masters Championship at Twizel’s Lake Ruataniwha. The duo teamed up to win the A double and A coxless pair finals. They got silver in the B and C double while Cynthia finished second in her single event. Coach Mouse Taylor says both women have proven over the last three seasons they are formidable in their own age grade and more than competitive against some of the younger women. The Blenheim Club won six golds, 12 silvers and two bronze medals over the weekend and also had three competitors in the North Island versus South Island quads and eights races. Blenheim rowers also medalled in a number of composite crews throughout the weekend. The crew had the oldest rower at the regatta in 83-year-old Brian Hutchison who won three gold medals in his age group. Rod Henderson, who only has five per cent vision, won the para singles event.
Bateman breaks through Marlborough rally driver Richard Bateman got his first Mainland Series win after three bridesmaid efforts. Bateman clinched the title with a strong showing at the Spring Rally in Geraldine over the weekend.

Sarah Lissaman and Cynthia de Joux were the standouts for the Blenheim Rowing Club at the New Zealand Masters Championships at Lake Ruataniwha. More than 300 rowers competed at the event including some international calibre athletes who used the regatta as a tune-up for the World Masters Championship on
The Tasman Makos were stunned 42-33 by Counties Manukau in their ITM Cup match in Pukekohe on Saturday. Tasman left their run too late and leaked too many tries at crucial moments as they suffered backto-back defeats on the eve of facing competition front runners Canterbury this weekend in Nelson.

Final contenders all but assured Pure Samoa and Uso Fiafia are almost certain to face each other in the final of Marlborough’s senior volleyball competition despite two rounds still remaining. Pure Samoa had consistent attacks to deny Bella’s Team any real chance of winning. Phil Ligaliga from Bella’s Team had some excellent spikes and Jeff Spurlock an amazing block during one of the rallies, the final result saw Pure Samoa win two sets to one. In the other game on court 1, the leading team Uso Fifia were up against Cri Clovers and were completely dominant showing all their skills. Great hitting by Afa Lauvai for Uso Fifia saw them win three sets to none. On court 2, a close game between Tree Fellas and Woodbourne Conscripts saw Woodbourne go out to an early lead in all the games that lead extending to eight points in set one but with BJ Carr serving, Tree Fellas
got ahead and ran out the winners in set one by 29 to 27. The second set was just as close with Hunter Nichols serving well and keeping Woodbourne in the game but again Tree Fellas came from behind with some magic blocking from Gary Rowse for Tree Fellas. The final set two score was 25 to 23. In the final set Woodbourne got some momentum going and took it out 25 to 23. The other game on court 2 was between Woodbourne Conscripts and Dank Lords who by the way only had four players to Woodbourne’s seven. Set one saw a fine run of play by Dank Lords in which they took out set one 25 to 16. The second set was much closer with Dank Lords winning 25 to 23. The third set was all Woodbourne’s and they finally won 25 to 16.
