Top apprentice

By Cathie Bell Blenheim teenager Josh Sim has won a national award that will pay four years of fees for his building apprenticeship.

Working for Ben Grady of Discovery Homes, Josh Sim says he has always wanted to be a builder.

“At kindy, they could never get me away from the carpentry table.

“Mum always had to take home my stuff, you know, a block of wood with 20 nails in it.”

Josh says he is delighted to have the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation grant which will pay his fees for the four years of his apprenticeship.

Les Whiteside

BCITO building scholarship ‘big win’ Continued from page 1 He hopes to be able to buy some tools now he is in a better financial position.

“Maybe a nail gun.”

He says he always wanted to be a builder as both his grandfathers were builders.

Josh started working for Ben as part of the Gateway programme which sees students do work experience in businesses they might like to have a career in.

Peter Baker, who co-ordinates the Gateway programme at Marlborough Boys’ College, says there have been five BCITO building scholarships awarded nationally, and Josh has won one of them.

As part of the programme, Josh had to set goals and get the required credits by October last year.

“He achieved those goals, he did well.” Ben says Josh came along a day a week last year as part of the programme, but during the school

holidays when he didn’t have to show up, he asked if Ben wanted him to come in anyway.

“He came along all the holidays, of his own accord...He blew me away really, he showed he was really keen.”

Ben says Josh is known as ‘Blueeyes’ on site as Ben used to work with Josh’s father and remembers three year-old Josh visiting work with a mop of curly hair and ‘blue, blue eyes’.

BCITO chief executive Warwick

Quinn says the organisation is ‘delighted’ to be able to offer a scholarship to Josh.

“We can see that he’s worked hard towards a career in the construction industry, and we hope that covering his apprenticeship fees will help Joshua make his dream a reality.

“We need many more young people coming into the trades, so Joshua has a rewarding career in front of him where his skills will be in high demand.”

TWICE WEEKLY

By Cathie Bell Marlborough Girls’ College principal Karen Stewart has resigned to take up the head role at Rangiora High School.

She finishes at the end of term two, in July, and says it is ‘one of those bittersweet moments’.

“I don’t want to leave here, but I hope I can do something there.”

Rangiora High School has

Karen Stewart.

been without a principal for more than a year, with a commissioner appointed after a dispute between the school board of trustees and former principal Peg Burrows.

A letter to parents from Rangiora High commissioner Bev Moore last week says an advisory group, consulted on the hire in the absence of a board of trustees, were impressed by Karen’s ‘extensive

educational and leadership experience’.

Karen has been on the staff of Marlborough Girls’ College since 1992, when she taught geography and social studies, and she has been principal since 2006.

“I’ll really miss our students, teachers, and community.

“I’ve really enjoyed working here.”

The shift will be dramatic,

moving from Marlborough Girls’ College which has about 930 students, to Rangiora High School with about 1800 students.

“It’s a bigger school… I’m not slowing down.”

The move is prompted by the family and farming interests she and husband Giles Lancaster have in Rangiora.

“It’s a community I spend most holidays in.”

PHO directors resign over hub

By Cathie Bell Four of the Primary Health Organisation’s six board members have resigned, chairman Alistair Sowman confirmed yesterday.

He says there are ‘varying’ reasons for the resignations, with at least one ‘definitely work-related’ and others ‘potentially hub-related’.

However, the board has the power to co-opt members until its annual general meeting in September, and it will go out to the community for new members before then, Alistair says.

“The board can still function.

We have the ability to co-opt the required number of members to have

a quorum.”

It is understood Alistair and Helen Neame are still on the board, but Nita van Grinsen, Helen Pauley, Tarina MacDonald, and Kirsten Tucker have resigned.

Alistair says it is ‘extremely disappointing’ the PHO has become involved in the dispute between district nurses and the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board about a proposal to move the nurses from Wairau Hospital to the Queen Street health hub.

Opponents of the proposal are planning to attend health board meetings today to protest the move.

He says the PHO will be making a

statement next week about tenancies in its half of the Queen Street building.

The other half is rented to the district health board.

“This is distracting, because the health hub is very positive.

“For our half of the building, we have more people wanting to go in than we have space.”

• Nelson Marlborough District Health Board chief executive Peter Bramley and senior staff are holding two meetings in Blenheim today on primary health care, at 12.30pm at the Rangitane centre in Grovetown and at 5pm at the health hub in Queen Street.

Bridge crash slows traffic

By Cathie Bell Police are urging people not to travel on the alternate route south unless they have to after a truck crash closed the Wye River bridge in the Wairau Valley.

The truck hit the Wye Bridge 50 kilometres southwest of Renwick at 5.45am on Sunday morning, closing the bridge.

The driver received moderate injuries and was helicoptered to hospital, where he remains.

Police say that while engineers were attempting to fix the bridge, a fibre-optic cable was accidentally cut causing communications outages, including banking and eftpos outages throughout Marlborough.

“Motorists are asked to avoid the bridge and the alternative route is via a ford bypass and will only be passable if weather conditions are favourable.

The Sun

St Joseph’s School closing?

The New Zealand Transport Agency says the bridge is not likely to re-open to all traffic until the end of the week.

Transport Agency Earthquake Recovery Manager Steve Mutton says additional foundational support to the bridge deck is being built, with work starting on that yesterday.

This will allow the bridge to be used by all vehicles at 30km/ hour once that work is complete, he says, and the agency is aiming to do that by the end of this week.

“We need to do a permanent repair to the bridge, but in the meantime, our structural engineers have confirmed that we can make it safe in the short to medium term for all traffic to use, at a low speed.

“We thank everyone using this route for their patience over the The crashed truck on the Wye Bridge. coming few days.”

After community consultation, St Joseph’s School in Picton is expected to close.

Board of trustees chairwoman Lisa Bhandal was unavailable for comment, but sources say the Catholic primary school which is down to three pupils will shut at the end of the year.

Bluff title held Blenheim man Daryl ‘Dagwood’ MacDonald has successfully defended his Men’s Oyster Eating title at last weekend’s Bluff Oyster and Food Festival.

Festival Chairman John Edminstin says interest in the competitions was high with 4500 people attending the sold-out festival despite terrible weather.

Water talk tomorrow Council hydrologist Val Wadsworth is talking to the Marlborough Forest and Bird Society tomorrow evening about Marlborough’s water.

He will explain about the hydrological network, what the Marlborough District Council monitors and why, with some case studies of water resources and how to see the council’s data online.

The talk is at the Blenheim School hall at 7.30pm.

Books donated to keen readers

By Cathie Bell Students from eleven Blenheim schools gathered at New World Blenheim on Monday to collect the 220 new books the supermarket has donated to their school libraries.

New World Blenheim owners Ashley and Melanie Shore gave a box of 20 free books to students from 11 Marlborough schools as part of the Kellogg’s Free Books Promotion.

Melanie says Marlborough was one of the top performing regions in New Zealand for the promotion, which ran in New World stores from January to March. and they are ‘immensely proud’ their store was able to make such a valuable contribution.

For every two Kellogg’s cereal or snack products bought in-store,

shoppers could nominate a local school to get one free book, by dropping their receipts into a box set aside for each school.

“Every school got the highest number of books it could get, with entries over-and-above what we were expecting,” Ashley says.

“That speaks volumes about the positivity of the school community in and around Blenheim.”

Books available included the ever-popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, the award-winning Ranger’s Apprentice series, and the Kiwi classic Under the Mountain by Maurice Gee. “This is just one of the many ways New World Blenheim supports our local community in the town and the wider region,” Ashley says.

Film premiere for band The Blenheim South Rotary Club is holding a fundraising evening at the Top Town Cinemas on June 1 to help the Marlborough District Junior Brass Band send members to China to play in the 2017 Shanghai Festival.

The film will be the Blenheim premiere of ‘McLaren’, a film about New Zealand motor racing pioneer Bruce McLaren.

Local boys return with rock show

99 kg

By Celeste Alexander An 80s rock ballad show that began 10 years ago in the Marlborough Boys’ College music room, that went on to win awards and is about to go on tour in America, is coming back to where it all began in Blenheim this Friday.

Allergic To Love: curse of the 80’s was written and produced by former MBC student Tom Knowles and also features local brothers Josh and Sam Logan. The show is an unusual tale of love told by a loud, live, rock band of misfits and the show will be performed this Friday at Biddy Kates Irish Bar. For Tom it’s a happy conclusion to see the show doing so well, including an award to perform in America next month.

It’s been 10 years in the making, Tom says, but most of the excitement has happened in the past few months.

“Josh and I worked on this in third form at MBC. I brought it back while studying at drama school then I had time last year to finish writing it. From then to now, we have won three NZ Fringe Festival awards and been invited to America to perform the show which has been an absolute whirlwind.

“While performing the show at Fringe Festival in Wellington, there were two guys from San Diego who selected us for an award to perform at their festival. They loved it, but now we are working hard to find the funds to get the band over,” he says.

Tom decided to bring the show ‘home’ to Blenheim for a few reasons, one being in memory of Josh and Sam’s grandfather Ross Logan who recently passed away.

“We were hoping to perform for Ross before he passed away but sadly that’s not the case, so now we have dedicated the show in his memory.

“We also chose to perform at Biddy Kates as that’s our old stomping ground when we were younger and played in an old band. It’s a bit of a reunion for us to come back as a group and play, so we are hoping that Blenheim will get behind us and come along to the show,” Tom says.

Tickets are being sold at Biddy Kates for $30 each and Tom recommends people buy them ahead of the show, but there may also be door sales on the night subject to availability.

Money raised from the show will support the group’s travel expenses to America.

Warm paws, happy dogs

By Celeste Alexander The Marlborough SPCA held a special celebration last Saturday, when they officially opened their newly built indoor dog shelter.

Supporters, volunteers, sponsors and tradesmen were invited to the opening where Mayor John Leggett and SPCA Canterbury chairperson David Broderick unclipped dog leads to open the entrance to the kennels.

A special mention was made

to everyone who supported and contributed to the project, particularly Leslie Hamersley and Steve Riley who donated a substantial amount of money, as well as project co-ordinator Phil Lawrence and project manager Bruce Baldwin.

It was estimated that up to 80 percent of the project had been funded by way of donations, discounted materials and labour, and volunteer time.

Bill Stuart-Forbes with a photo of his father and four other men digging a tunnel for the east coast railway line.

Work brings back memories

By Cathie Bell The work re-building State Highway One has brought back a flood of childhood memories for Blenheim man Bill StuartForbes.

He visited The Sun offices to show photos of his father and four other men digging out one of the tunnels on the route between Blenheim and Kaikoura, along with a photo of the worker accommodation at Aniseed Valley.

Hundreds of workers are currently digging out the rail and road links along the east coast after last year’s 7.8 magnitude earthquake, and new worker villages are being set up in the Clarence Valley and Kaikoura to house them.

The New Zealand Transport Agency hopes to have State Highway One re-opened by Christmas, although the rail link is expected to be opened months earlier.

Bill says his father and the others are pictured getting ready to ‘put a blast in to blow the bank

down’ for a cutting to be made for the road.

Life for the workers was hard, and he says ‘they were real men in those days’.

All the concrete used in construction was mixed by hand, ‘there was no ready-mix then’.

The photos were taken in the 1930s, although Bill is a little unsure of the dates, being only four or five at the time.

“I’m coming to 82 now.”

He doesn’t know too much about his father’s life as he was away a lot and then died young.

“He went to the war when I was six.

“He came home when I was nine, and he was only home six months when he died.”

Bill was born in Picton, and moved away for work but retired back here in Blenheim.

“I’ve come home,” he says.

“My ancestors are buried at Tuamarina and my first wife is there as well.

“We all wanted to come back here.”

Road works Dear Ed, I made a trip to Picton this week. Passing through Spring Creek, I saw the roundabout under construction. What a stupid waste of money!

Pity the workers and the Transport Authority could not have fixed the pot holes on State Highway to Picton instead of wasting road taxes on a poorly thought out roundabout which was not needed.

Half a brain would not have even started it.

Spring Creek Traffic Dear Ed, Work drags on at the Spring Creek roundabout currently under construction.

I drove out there and pondered why would you go to the expense of $1.6 million and all the time and disruption, when the simplest solution would have been to put a 50km/hr speed limit on the intersection?

As a taxpaying motorist, I consider the roundabout 100% unjustified especial-

ly when the solution was a 50km/hr speed restriction and at no cost.

Did the district council and/or Marlborough Roads have input? But then Marlborough Roads is an arm of MDC? Correct?

Percy Parker Blenheim Ed’s note: Work on the state highway, such as that at Spring Creek, is funded by the Government through the New Zealand Transport Agency, not local councils.

Loving the Crusaders Dear Ed, As an old Cantabrian, now living where the SUN shines and the wind is a rarity, I was delighted to see a young writer with an old head on his shoulders, your Jacob Page, describe the Crusaders v Hurricanes recent game.

The descriptive analysis of the game, treated with

the logic that would not occur to most except the keenest of rugby purist was enlightening.

It made for an interesting and enjoyable read.

As an aside wouldn’t it be a step in the right direction to go back to naming these teams after their localities and return to the familiar, (not these days) of their

jerseys.

The old red and black horizontal Canterbury colours.

Here in Australia there is every animal and sea mammal, but who do they play for?

Love the Crusaders...and Colin Meads.

Dear Ed, The power outages on Sunday that affected eftpos and internet proves that we as a society are reliant more on cards than we are on cash.

I visited the supermarket and found all of the checkouts down on eftpos.

Luckily I had cash, but for the several other people standing in line who had not even considered that eftpos and credit card facilities

were not available, they were caught out without a backup.

One question a gentleman behind me asked; “What does this supermarket have as a backup?”

He was referring to the old zip-zap manual card machine, to which the manager said “no, we don’t have one”.

I then went to a local dairy straight after and watched as three people came in wanting to check their Lotto

Matt Brown Blenheim Grandad slippers. The ones with the rubber soles - super handy and warm.

tickets, but were turned away due to the service being unavailable.

It got me thinking, if we were to have another natural disaster or internet went down for longer than a day, how many of us would have cash as a back up?

Perhaps it’s something to think about, making sure we always have cash in our wallets or in a safe at home for emergencies.

Cash in my pocket

Following up Dear Ed, Don Coyote’s letter about older drivers answers a vital question for me: Why won’t the government introduce compulsory third party insurance?

I have long advocated CTPI to improve road safety.

But if Don’s right, drivers who use handheld cell phones, tailgate other vehicles etc would eventually be driven off the road by very high third party premiums imposed by their insurance company.

We couldn’t have that could we?

And can you imagine the embarassment when caught doing wheelies on SH63 at 3am and being asked by the police for evidence of third party insurance?

I can hear the answer: “You’ve got to be joking officer!

“How can I afford to burn out a set of tyres every month and pay third party insurance?

“And yes, I tailgate and occasionally ram the vehicle in front.

“But the drivers I hit will have comprehensive insurance won’t they, so why do I need it?

“Don’t worry about whip lash injury.

Marlborough DHB will take care of that.”

Of course older drivers who boringly stick to the law invariably have comprehensive insurance anyway.

So exciting and oh-so-clever drivers who have the right to break the law can carry on without the bother of insurance at all.

The NZ government is right after all.

“Seeing a family greet their baby for the first time is beautiful,” says Jenn.

Midwife Jenn Laing pictured at Wairau Hospital’s maternity ward.

Midwife relishes being home Former Marlborough Girls’ College student Jenn Laing has returned to Marlborough after 10 years away and is now a practicing midwife.

She talks to reporter Celeste Alexander about her decision to become a midwife and what it means to her.

Going through college Jenn had no idea that she would end up pursuing midwifery as a career, instead she ended up doing a sports and recreation degree to become a personal trainer.

During this time she says she ‘heard about midwifery’ on the radio and thought that it sounded interesting, but decided to go overseas and travel for three and a half years.

Her ‘OE’ took her to Korea where she taught English for 12 months, then backpacking through South East Asia for four months.

Her travels then found her in London where she lived and worked for 18 months in a pub ‘pouring pints’ before home ‘beckoned’.

“I decided I would go overseas and see the world first then once I came home I got serious and looked into midwifery study.”

Jenn embarked on her distance study which involved satellite classes in Nelson and Marlborough and two week blocks in Christchurch for the face to face.

It is a four year degree that’s done in three.

“The study is intense and certainly not easy... not everyone who started the course made it to the end.

“It’s 50/50 academic and practical and being blended study means it’s a mix of online teaching, face to face and study in your own time.

“I think for people with families wanting to pursue midwifery, this is a great option as they can study when it fits in,” she says.

Jenn graduated at the beginning of 2016 and this year stepped out as a lead maternity carer.

Asked what her experience was during her first birth, she says it was ‘amazing’.

“Women are so open when it comes to allowing student midwives to be involved.

“It’s a privilege and really humbling to be there and to learn from it.

“The first year since graduating was new, exciting and also overwhelming, then as you progress you can start pinning things on certain experiences. It’s been great,” she says.

During her first year, Jenn worked

shift work on the maternity ward as part of the ‘midwifery first year of practice programme’.

“The staff are really supportive and it’s been great to have that.

“It’s a brilliant place to train and I feel so privileged to have the support of the staff and midwives who openly embrace students. I know what they know,” she says.

Jenn is now working as a LMC in Marlborough and says she is loving ‘every minute’.

“Going th rough college I probably wouldn’t have guessed I would be in Marlborough working as a midwife,” she laughs.

“But I’m really happy to be back and it’s really cool being part of the primary care of a pregnant woman, being in their homes and watching the baby grow.

“What I love is that we aren’t just delivering babies, we are helping to make mums, dads, big sisters and brothers.

“Seeing a family greet their baby for the first time is beautiful,” she says.

Pig and deer hunt in sight

By Celeste Alexander Get out the hunting gear and get your entries in for this year’s Woody Pig & Deer Hunt which is being held on Queen’s Birthday weekend (June 2, 3 and 4).

This is the fifth year in a row that this hunt has been held by the Woodbourne Tavern which will see thousands of dollars in cash and prizes up for grabs.

Organiser Rowan Ingpen says what makes this event unique is the ‘community and family’ participation.

“This is the reason we hold this event... for the community. All the money that comes in from entry fees goes straight back out in cash prizes.

“It’s really neat to see families taking part, especially the kids. Seeing them come to the weigh in with their possums, hares and rabbits with big grins on their faces and stories about where and how they caught them is what makes it so enjoyable.

Margaret Brake has volunteered for the St John Charity Shop since it first opened.

Wool from jerseys

By Celeste Alexander Blenheim retiree Margaret Brake has volunteered for the St John Charity Shop since it first opened, and has found her ‘niche’ with the ‘wool recycling’.

Margaret is part of the Thursday team that volunteers at the shop, spending half a day there as well as ‘countless’ hours at home turning old woollen jerseys into balls of wool to be sold.

Margaret collects the old woollen jerseys that are not suitable to be sold from the shop and spends evenings unpicking them.

She then winds the wool around a

chair, washes it and hangs on the line.

She then uses a wool winder that her father made for her 60 years ago which spins the wool before it’s wound into balls.

The balls are then packed and sold.

“I really enjoy it, it keeps me busy.

Every day I’m bringing wool back to the shop,” she smiles.

“I couldn’t sit at home and say I’m bored, I’ve always been busy throughout my life so I like to have something to do... it keeps you sane.

“I don’t understand people who say they are bored when there’s so much they could be doing.”

Margaret’s husband Tom who used

to be a boat builder also helps out at the shop on occasion when furniture needs repairing, which is a great help says shop manager Marlene Weatherall.

“They are a wonderful help and we truly appreciate the help they give us.” Margaret decided to volunteer after reading an article about the shop opening.

“St John is such a big part of the community and I appreciate the work they do.

“I felt it was one way I could help.

“They do a wonderful job, and we have a lot of laughs at the shop,” she says.

Da mpness promotes mould and dust mites in our homes which can cause respiratory problems. If you want to tackle the mould, look for mould regularly in hidden areas like wardrobes, under carpets, behind curtains and furniture.

If you find any mould remove it by: Applying methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol (available from supermarkets and hardware stores), using a brush or spray bottle Let set for 30 minutes

Re-apply methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol - and let set again for 30 minutes Wipe with a clean cloth and methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol Throw away the cloth when finished - to avoid spreading mould spores.

Keep children, allergy sufferers and people with a weakened immune system out of the room during mould treatment.

Air the room well until all fumes have evaporated.

Keep all chemicals well away from children, and open flames or fire.

Vinegar is another alternative. Follow the same procedure above and rinse well with water at the end.

However, vinegar does not kill all types of mould and any residue left behind may encourage more mould growth in the future.

Bleach and commercial mould removers can also be effective but release harmful fumes into your home over a long period of time.

WINTER 17 0 2 WARMTH

Busy with heating

By Celeste Alexander Peter Cairns of Heating Marlborough says it’s one of the busiest winters he’s experienced and he’s ‘pleased’ to see more and more people looking to find the best clean heating solutions for their homes.

“It’s actually been really good... one of the busiest we have had which is great.

“I think now that winter is upon us our workloads will keep increasing, including the number of people wanting to speak to us about replacing their old woodburners with new, more efficient burners.”

Peter says one reason for the heightened interest is due to the Marlborough District Council’s proposed Marlborough Environment Plan which includes a prohibition on discharges to the air over the Blenheim urban area from fires installed for more than 15 years, from June 9, 2017.

While this is still in draft and yet to have final approval by councillors, national clean air standards have been put in place already by the government and this plan will bring Marlborough into line with those.

These requirements are going to be put in place, so heating providers such as Heating Marlborough are working with the council as if it’s already passed.

“People thinking about renovating their homes or replacing old woodburners need to keep these new requirements in mind.

“We need to be mindful of clean air so we can get rid of the smog over Blenheim.

“New clean air fires help to take that away, while also providing an energy efficient source of heating,” he says.

The council has made available to rate payers the ‘Home Clean Heating Scheme’ which offers an

energy efficiency funding service to install approved home insulation and clean heating.

On approval, council will meet the immediate cost of the new insulation and heating which the ratepayer then repays over nine years, through the rates with interest that is currently set at six per cent, plus a one-off administration fee.

To be eligible you must be a ratepayer up-to-date with your rate payments and, for home insulation, with a house built before 2000.

Heating Marlborough supplies and installs clean air approved wood burners, pellet fires and 4 star AGArated flued gas fires as part of the scheme.

A spokesperson for the council says demand is steady and growing, with 27 ratepayers who have already had clean air fires installed.

Winter weddings a re becoming more and more popular for a number of different reasons.

Here are some wonderful reasons to plan a winter wedding.

It’s romantic - A winter wedding allows you to experiment with different types of themed decor.

Items to add to the decor include frosted pine cones, outside marquee areas, lamps and heaters, and fairy lights which will add a feeling of warmth to the space.

Wedding dress accessories - Imagine it’s the 1920s and you could be wrapped in a velvet throw or a beautiful faux fur coat over your dress.

You can style your dress up with fur, velvet, silk and lace.

You can also wear a long sleeved wedding dress, something that might be far too hot in the summer months.

More wedding venue options - Choosing a wedding in winter will allow you to have more options available

Incorporate wedding wraps and shrugs with the bridal wear for a stunning look.

when it comes to choosing a wedding venue.

Since winter months are less popular, you’ll be able to have more venue choices.

Guests are available Having your wedding in winter will mean you’re more likely to have all the people you really want at your wedding.

You won’t have to compete for guests who might be at another wedding, which you’ll likely be doing if it’s a summer wedding.

More time to prepare - Having your wedding in

winter means that you can use the summer months to get your body, mind and soul ready.

You can kick start the wedding preparations in the summer months by getting active and eating healthy.

Warm colour palette wedding - Winter months are known for rich red, maroon, rustic neutrals, gold and midnight blue.

Choose a colour that you love and incorporate your chosen colour with winter accessories to emphasise the seasonal elements.

Unique wedding cakes If you have a wedding logo or monogram, have cupcakes displayed in your monogram design or have it iced onto a cake.

A wedding chocolate fountain is fun, indulgent and sociable. Why not enjoy warm chocolatedipped strawberries and marshmallows with ice cream, perfect on a cold winter’s day.

Macaron towers are

super-stylish, super-delicious and can be created in your wedding colours.

If you’re more a savoury than a sweet type, how about a cake made of cheese rounds? Surround it with crackers, breads, chutneys, spreads and additional fruit.

The traditional wedding cake of French nobility is a tower of profiteroles held together with spun sugar.

A Winter Wedding Local brides share tips When it comes to planning a wedding, who best to get advice from than people who have already had a wedding.

Local women Stacey Scollard, Amy Vercoe

and Amanda McMahon share tips and advice on planning a wedding based on their personal experiences.

Amy Vercoe - Photographer, photographer, photographer! Do your homework on them, check out their work and choose wisely to make sure they can capture the style of photos you want.

- Don’t do what you feel you should to keep parents and family happy if you want to break from tradition as it maybe something unique and individual to you as a couple.

Others may not like it, but do it as it’s your day.

- Most of all, don’t sweat the small stuff as at the end of the day you are marrying the man/woman whom you are spending the rest of your days and nights with and that’s all that matters.

Amy and Jason Vercoe.

Stacey Scollard - Research photographers and find one that you can be at ease with and that has a style you like. Also make a list of particular photographs you want for the day if there are special ones you want.

- Get the main stuff sorted first, i.e location, dress, suits, celebrant, license and rings as they are the main things needed to get married.

- Don’t buy a dress on the idea that you are going to lose weight. If that’s what you want to do, lose the weight to a point you are happy and then buy.

Our Head Chef has skilfully created mouthwatering menus to accommodate a wide range of palates and budgets.

Amanda McMahon - We constantly had our eye out for wine specials and money-saving ideas for food and music etc.

- We decided we wanted 80+ people at our wedding, but our budget for food wasn’t going to stretch far. So I put together a slow cooker table of eight slow cookers with different dishes.

- Expect some little things to go wrong in the end, it helps to remember though that the end result is your marriage with the person you love and if that’s the end result of the day, then you’ve succeeded!

Our onsite wedding coordinator will work with you to make your special day one to remember.

MVH also has 16 spacious accommodation rooms allowing you and your guests the convenience to stay onsite.

Marlborough Kaikoura Rural Fire Authority Principal Fire Officer Richard McNamara is being promoted.

Rural fire boss steps up

By Cathie Bell Marlborough rural fire authority head Richard McNamara has been appointed to a new regional position in the newly restructured national fire-fighting organisation, Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

Richard, known as ‘Mac’, has been appointed Regional Manager Rural for Region Four, which covers Tasman, Marlborough, West Coast, North Canterbury, Christchurch Metro and South Canterbury.

He will continue to live in Marlborough.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand creates a single fire organisation, and brings together New Zealand’s rural, urban, paid and volunteer firefighters for the first time.

Legislation to form the new organisation was passed earlier this month and it starts from July 1.

The regional managers rural will work alongside the Fire Region Managers (urban) to ensure consistency of fire response while the new organisation works towards a full integration over the next three years.

The Regional Managers Rural will

report to the National Manager Rural, and be responsible for the same regions that are currently used in the NZ Fire Service.

Principal Rural Fire Officers within the region report to the Regional Managers Rural.

The Marlborough Kaikoura Rural Fire Authority congratulated Mac on the appointment on its website and says it ‘has been an absolute pleasure working with him since the inception’ of the authority.

“We wish him all the very best in his new role.”

E-ko Tours’ Paul Keating.

Whale tours to start

By Cathie Bell Kaikoura may be known as the whale-watching town, but a Pictonbased tourism business thinks Queen Charlotte Sound offers just as much opportunity to get close to the huge mammals.

Paul Keating from E-Ko Tours is offering tours during June and July for people to see migrating baleen whales as they travel on the surface close to shore.

As part of the tour, people will also visit the historic Perano whaling station, where equipment and information about Marlborough’s whaling history will be on display,

as well as a specially-commissioned film in the whalers’ old recreation building, he says.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for a limited number of people to fully immerse in a whale experience during an annual migration, see and feel the history, see conservation in action and go out to sea in a boat looking for the migrating giants.”

There has been a lot of interest already, Paul says.

The tours provide a new thing for visitors to do while in Marlborough in winter, which increases tourism at a time when Picton need it, he says.

“It’s a positive thing for the com-

munity.”

This time of year is when the Department of Conservation used to survey whale numbers as they passed through Cook Strait, but now that’s no longer being done, Paul says there is an opportunity for other people to get out there to see the whales migrating and to learn about the history and how whale-hunters became conservationists.

The tours are being offered from June 10 until July 20, with each tour limited to 14 passengers, of people between 16 and 95 years of age.

A charity ball and auction to fundraise for school children to get a Marlborough Sounds environmental experience has raised more than $80,000.

Mistletoe Charitable Foundation chairman Simon Heath says last Saturday’s event was ‘staggering’.

The event has had ‘wonderful’ support from the community, and Marlborough must be one of the most generous districts in the country, he says.

“A lot of kids are going to benefit from this evening.”

The event was organised

by Liz Buttimore of Arbour restaurant with a team of volunteers, who made the evening a smooth and spectacular one, Simon says.

The foundation was established last year to raise funds that can be invested and the revenue from this would then be able to be used to provide funding assistance for children to attend camps at Mistletoe Bay eco-village and campground in Queen Charlotte Sound.

The children will be identified by their schools as needing financial assistance to get to the camps. Once we have our fund, schools will be able to apply to the Foundation for help, Simon says.

The foundation’s patron Dame Lowell Goddard spoke at the event,and Simon says she added a huge amount to the evening.

There he spent time in banking management and sales before making the change to his role as a mortgage advisor.

As a local resident Peter is well connected and driven to helping his clients achieve their home loan goals.

The past two years in particular have been very busy, he says, working alongside clients to navigate the challenges faced by home buyers in a rising property market.

“More than ever I see the relevance of mortgage advisers. This is a business that is growing nationally, reinforcing the value in appointing an adviser to help people work around these challenges and understand all of the options that are available to them.

“One of the most important things I say to people is not to be put off by one bank declining their application as they are not the only option. There is still quite a difference in policy from one bank to the next,” he says.

Working closely with his clients, Peter is able to gain an in-depth understanding of their specific requirements so he can provide

$

the ideal home loan solution.

“Sometimes it’s time spent with people setting goals and identifying what they need to do to purchase a home, while other times it’s a matter of looking at the different lenders and what they are offering.

“By working with a mortgage adviser it takes away a lot of the leg work. Feedback from my clients shows they find it quite easy and stress free, especially if we are moving across more than one bank,” he says.

Peter is based in Blenheim and is also available to clients in the Renwick, Picton and Kaikoura regions providing a range of financial services including mortgage and insurance advice, debt consolidation, home loans, refinancing, bridging finance, construction loans, personal finance, budgeting and more.

Clubs of Marlborough ‘sections’ prizegiving The Clubs of Marlborough hosted a prize giving last Friday night to acknowledge the many contributions made by members of the ‘sections’ during the year.

The judges say they found it very difficult to choose winners as everyone ‘was

deserving’.

All nominees received a certificate with the winners receiving a trophy, Wither Hills wine, and the sponsors prize. There was a great turn out with 100 members attending from many Sections including Football, Under-

water, Rugby, Dance Top of the South Rock’n’Roll, Kings & Queens, Golf, Shooting, Fishing, Golden Oldies and Indoor Bowls.

The prize giving was well supported by a number of sponsors for the categories as well as spot prizes.

War exhibition shows up closer links

When Blenheim resident Eileen Guard visited The Great War Exhibition in Wellington, she found a family connection in more ways than one.

Elaine’s daughter Lynne Roberts booked a premium tour of the Exhibition for her mother, knowing Eileen’s father, Edgar Hammond, had served in the Canterbury Mounted Rifles during World War One, but they didn’t expect to re-establish a connection with a living relative.

As part of the premium tour package, exhibition guide Chris Harp researched Edgar Hammond’s history so he could tailor the guided tour to highlight Edgar’s service in the Great War. Eileen and her husband Rex, along with Lynne and her husband Chris Roberts, went on the tour and it was only when Chris Harp was discuss-

ing the tour afterwards with new staff member Eileen Mueller that they realised the two Eileens are related.

Edgar Hammond is Eileen Mueller’s great-great-uncle, and she had met Eileen Guard in Blenheim years before, while researching her own family history.

Enlisted at only twenty years old, Edgar Hammond commenced duty in December 1914 and arrived in Zeitoun Camp, Cairo on 24 June 1915. He served in Gallipoli from July to December 1915 and was then stationed in Sinai and Palestine in 1916–18.

“I learned a lot and felt quite close to Dad again,” Eileen Guard says.

“I knew he’d been in Gallipoli, but I didn’t realise he was there for five months. I knew he’d been in hospital, but not what for. He was very ill, but not injured. When he came home,

he’d lost one and a half stone. They were hungry all the time.”

The exhibition features realistic mannequins in war-time situations, including picking their way through fly-ridden food.

“Seeing those cans reminded me how Dad never touched bully beef again, ever,” Eileen says.

“And they learnt to smoke in the war, because they were handed out cigarettes.”

After the Armistice, Edgar Hammond was part of the Canterbury regiment that returned to Gallipoli to maintain the graves of their fallen comrades.

“I knew what Gallipoli looked like because Dad had gone back to clean up the grave sites and had taken photos, so we’d seen those, but seeing the colour photos and the dioramas made everything more real.”

Forum supports Marine Park Concept for the Marlborough Sounds Over 60 people endorsed a new marine park idea for the Marlborough Sounds at a public forum last week.

The forum, at the Waikawa Boating Club, was hosted by the Marlborough Sounds Integrated Management Trust and trust chairman Eric Jorgensen says they were ‘blown away’ by how many people turned up and the range of interests represented.

“What amazed me was, that when we split them into six groups they all came back with the same line on the map for a marine park.

“They all wanted Croiselles, Durville, and Cloudy Bay included for consideration.

“There were differing views about what it should be called, with Marlborough marine management area being the second most popular

Peter Lawless.

after ‘marine park’. What really encouraged me though was that, when people had a clear picture of what it could

do for our marine environment, they were 100 per cent in support.”

Peter Lawless presented an overview of his research and findings from his Winston Churchill Fellowship scholarship, showing how different areas across the world have faced similar situations of competing needs and values coupled with degrading coastal environments and the approaches to managing those challenges.

Eric says forum participants really appreciated the presentation.

“This helped everyone understand what constituted current best management practice for multiple use marine parks…Different areas did different things well but overall the principles, governance structure and

resourcing used on the Great Barrier Reef were strongest.

“However, their recognition and engagement of the indigenous peoples was not well handled, but we can learn on that score from British Columbia.

“People accepted his recommendation that the Great Barrier Reef model was the best fit for Marlborough, with improvement around how obligations to Maori needs and values were incorporated.

“Participants also endorsed what the Trustees have already said about principles for managing the area and gave us ideas of their own to consider.”

Eric says people ‘clearly’ felt the need for change and support the work of the trust and marine park concept.

Sauvignon Blanc success

Only in Marlborough could a one-day celebration of Sauvignon Blanc turn into 16 days, Wine Marlborough says.

Ma rket i ng a nd communications coordinator Harriet Wadworth says Marlborough, which is world famous for Sauvignon Blanc, did that this year and the event was successful.

Wine Marlborough’s recently completed post-event survey got ‘a fantastic response’ from wineries, cellar doors, tour operators, restaurants, and bars involved in the inaugural ‘16 Days of Sauvignon’ in celebration of Sauvignon Blanc Day, with 27 mini-events crammed into the 16 days.

“The reason for reach-

ing out to all businesses in Marlborough and asking them to jump on board with the celebrations was to involve the whole region, rather than those just in the wine industry itself, which is how we have celebrated Sauvignon Blanc Day in the past” Harriet says.

With most events selling out, the ‘16 Days of Sauvignon’ was well received by those both living in and visiting Marlborough which is exactly what Wine Marlborough hoped to achieve, especially as the day occurs right around the exciting harvest period for Sauvignon Blanc.

As well as the ‘16 Days of S a uv ig n o n’, W i n e Marlborough created Sauvi-

Some flexibility in hours is also possible.

Brayden wins first pro fight

By Celeste Alexander Blenheim’s Brayden (Dr Bray) Graham has done it, he has won his first professional fight against Australia’s Paul Loga.

The fight took place at the Logan Metro Sports Centre in Crestmead, Queensland on Saturday night.

Paul Loga is a former XFC amateur champion with four pro fights under his belt while Brayden holds the title of being the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation amateur world champion.

Brayden’s win has taken him out of the amateur league straight in with the pro’s after what can only be described as an explosive, noholds-barred fight that was won by the third found with a ‘rare naked choke hold’.

He took to social media after the fight and thanked everyone who helped him to prepare for his

professional debut.

“I’m stoked... pro was definitely another level and I would like to thank Paul Loga for bringing the best out of me in there.

“I can’t believe how many friends and family got the stream and tuned in to watch... highest selling pay per view in Blenheim history haha.

“It was great to have my pals cage side and in the crowd cheering in hostile territory,” he says.

Brayden went on to thank all those who helped him to prepare for his fight, but in particular his head coach Marcelo Lopez for ‘pushing me to evolve, tighten my game and become the best fighter I can be’.

“I met him when I was 16 and I can’t thank him enough for where he has got me in this sport.... he keeps me calm, keeps me laughing before the fights but also keeps me winning.”

Juniors shine in water polo tournament

By Cathie Bell Marlborough’s under-12 team shone at the first-ever water polo tournament held in Blenheim last weekend.

Organiser Martyn Birch says most of the team had never played tournament games before and it was ‘unknown waters’ for them.

“But they dominated from the outset and set a very high standard,” he says.

“They won the first game 10 goals to 2, with Jake Thompson being the top goal scorer.”

The under-12 team ‘only got better’ as the tournament went on, eventually winning all their games and being named team of the tournament, Martyn says.

He says the other Marlborough teams faced some very strong teams, from Canterbury and the Hutt Valley.

The Palmerston North team was stopped from travelling after the Cook Strait ferries were delayed by heavy swells.

“Some games being boilovers and other games being nailbiters;

23

overall, a great time was had by all and those that came and watched the games enjoyed seeing some fantastic water polo.”

Martyn says water polo is a hugely popular sport in Marlborough, with games played every Wednesday evening from 5pm at Stadium 2000, ranging from seven yearolds to those in their late 50s.

He thanked Subway, Taylor Pass Honey, Total Span, Bamboo Garden, PAK’nSAVE, Blenheim Testing Station, Harcourts, Top Town Cinemas, Stadium 2000 for

their support.

Final standings: Pool A: Marlborough A under-12, Hutt under 12, Marlborough B under-12 Pool B: Hutt under-14 boys, Marlborough under-14 girls, Marlborough under-14 boys Pool C: Canterbury under-16 girls, Marlborough under-16 girls Pool D: Canterbury under-16 boys, Marlborough under-16 boys Team of the tournament: Marlborough A under-12.

Soccer two halves The scores from the soccer games in the Marlborough Boys College sports exchange day against Shirley Boys from Christchurch yesterday showed a mix of success.

The Marlborough First XI downed the Cantabrians7-3 but the Shirley Boys’ second XI beat the Marlborough team 6-2, in the games played yesterday morning at A&P Park.
