Steamrolled

By Celeste Alexander This eight-tonne beauty has been a labour of love for the past four years, and thanks to the restoration efforts of Marlborough Vintage and Farm Machinery Society members, it’s back to its former glory.

The 1926 McLaren steamroller was originally built in Leeds, West Yorkshire in the UK and bought brand new in the late 1920s by the Blenheim Borough Council.

It was used through to the early 40s to “roll out most of the streets” in the area, volunteer Peter Tester explains.

Continued on page 2 John Johnson, John Griffin, Peter Tester and Godfrey Earle are part of the team that has restored this old steamroller.

Restored steamroller ‘a real little gem’ Continued from page 1 Nicknamed ‘Kate’, the steamroller was built to be used for leveling surfaces such as roads or airfields, powered by a steam engine.

Today McLaren engines are highly regarded by enthusiasts, making this one a very special project for the Marlborough Vintage and Farm Machinery Society.

“It’s a first for the society to have an operational steam engine. She’s a little gem,” Peter says.

The name Kate came with the steamroller, although society members don’t know the story behind it.

It was given to the society on permanent loan and in the early 1950s it was converted to a petrol engine, however four years ago society members decided to take the motor out and put it back to steam operation.

“It’s taken roughly four years by a group of six of us volunteers. We’ve spent one day a week on this restoration and only have a few cosmetic things still to do, but so far she’s come up good,” Peter says.

To get it going, it’s around an hour long process of putting in enough water before loading up the fire with

It’s full steam ahead.

John Griffin puts the steamroller into gear.

wood and coal and lighting it.

Once the system has warmed up and the steam reaches working pressure, the rest is just “going around doing the housework”, Peter jokes.

“Moving parts need to be oiled and in general everything checked over before we can take her out.”

A steamroller is operated by igniting a fire in the firebox.

Hot gases from the fire pass down tubes to heat the water in the boiler,

and the pressure inside the boiler steadily builds.

Once working pressure is reached the steam is released to push the piston inside the cylinder on the engine.

Valves ensure that steam alternates between one side of the piston and the other, driving it backwards and forwards.

A crank which connects to the piston turns the wheels to drive the

engine.

It’s slow going and quite a physical effort to steer it once it’s rolling as the steering is slow, Peter says.

You have to anticipate where it’s going and start turning in advance.

Top speed is roughly six miles per hour.” Anyone wanting to see the steamroller in action will get the opportunity at the Daffodil Day Vehicle Display for Cancer at Brayshaw Park this Sunday.

Vehicle display this Sunday

By Celeste Alexander Last year’s ‘Daffodil Vehicle Display’ for Cancer was such a success, that organisers are hoping for another great event.

The Daffodil Vehicle Display for Cancer is being held this Sunday at Brayshaw Park from 9am - 3pm.

Organising the event is the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand Marlborough branch which is raising money for Cancer Society Marlborough.

Branch president Kelly Landon-Lane says the event will be a great day out

for the whole family with a coffee cart, bouncy castle, a BBQ, tea, coffee and food.

The main attraction will be the huge range of vehicles on display including classic and vintage cars, tractors, motorbikes, go karts, classic boats, speedway cars and vintage trucks.

The display will be held on Patchell’s Green and entry is a gold coin donation.

Entry per vehicle is $5 per car and all proceeds go to the Cancer Society Last year’s ‘Daffodil Vehicle Display for Cancer’ held at Brayshaw Heritage Park was a huge success and raised $9000.

Tom Knowles, on the rise

By Celeste Alexander Tom Knowles... where do I begin?

The former Marlborough Boys’ College student, turned musician, turned actor is fast creating a name for himself both on stage and in television.

Around 10 years ago Tom was jamming out in the MBC music room, working on his 80s rock ballad show ‘Allergic to Love’ that would later take him to America and on tour in New Zealand.

From there Allergic to Love took a break and Tom went on nationwide tours for ‘Grease’ and ‘Saturday Night Fever’ to name a few.

In between his schedule he manages to return to Blenheim over the summer period for band gigs including weddings, some 60th birthdays and pub gigs.

“When acting takes a backseat, the music thrives,” he jokes.

More recently Tom has been based in Auckland where he regularly auditions for television commercials.

Not only that, but he lives with his partner and ‘Westside’ actress Sophie Hambleton who plays the bubbly character of Carol O’Driscoll, Rita’s blonde friend on the prequel to Outrageous Fortune.

When the Sun spoke with Tom last Thursday he had just returned from two auditions.

His most recent commercial was for Countdown where he appeared as the young man trying to impress his new inlaws with a lamb roast.

“It’s hilarious to know that I’m not actually able to cook that well, but there I was serving up a roast,” he laughs.

Prior to that he appeared in an American Express commercial which was played worldwide.

Since those two commercials Tom and Sophie finished a show

Manager had stolen before Thomas Blake, a 44-year-old man who faked a robbery at the store he managed, had been stealing money leading up to the claim.

Thomas was the manager at Benge & Co Green Grocers and had taken nearly $12,000 in the time he worked there before he faked the robbery on May 21.

It was found that he had also similarly offended during previous employment in Auckland.

Thomas was remanded on bail to September 10 for sentencing.

last week titled ‘Seed’ which went on a full NZ tour.

“My character was 14 different versions of the NZ bloke as a supporting actor for the women in the show. There were lots of costume changes and chaotic accents, but a lot of fun too,” he says.

In his spare time, he continues to book as many gigs as possible and is planning to take his Allergic to Love show to Palmerston North

in October.

“I also try to come home when I can. Sophie has come the last couple of times as well and I’ve showed her my local watering hole - Biddy Kates, so she’s a fan now too! She’s also a big fan of the wineries,” he says.

Other projects that Tom has in the pipleline include a one-man show, a comedic history of music up to now, titled ‘The Magic

Jukebox’ which he hopes will launch next year.

He’s also looking at a Maori musical and book as well as something quite different to what’s been done before, a world first tour of a musician and tattoo artist.

“It’s all very different stuff...

I try and keep busy but never have enough hours in the day,” he laughs.

Last weekend Blenheim Police were alerted to alleged suspicious activity of a white van in the Waihopai Valley area.

Police are pleased to confirm that this van is a legitimate contractor for a roading specialist, and are pleased with how “proactive the rural community have been in sharing information”, community constable Russ Smith says.

Marlborough Boys’ College Student Ryan Webb, Rachel Boyce, Mandy Freeman, Deana Quissy, Jess Coleman and Johan Bekker at yesterdays learning support strike in Blenheim.

‘Help us to provide better support’

By Celeste Alexander “There is an increasing number of children in early childhood centres and schools with complex behavioural, physical and/or learning difficulties, and without intensive support these kids won’t succeed in school!”

This is the message from NZEI Marlborough branch president and Picton School teacher Dave Paterson as he and many others demonstrated their frustration yesterday during the learning support strike action in Blenheim.

Demonstrators voiced their concerns during a public gathering at Seymour Square; “Our children, especially those with additional learning needs, deserve the best specialist support but there aren’t enough specialists for the children who need the support and those we have are pushed to their limits with extreme workloads,” Dave says.

It’s just one of many calls to the government to ensure the specialist staff are available and able to manage with reasonable caseloads.

For the Marlborough area there is a mixed team of six specialists employed by the Ministry of Education including a speech language therapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, special education advisor and an early intervention teacher who are stretched to cover 75 early childhood centres

and schools.

They work with students who have communication, behaviour and physical needs and cover children from birth to 21 years of age.

While their services are highly valued by the teachers, teacher aides, families and students who benefit from them, it’s evident their caseloads are “so huge they simply aren’t able to do justice to the job”, Dave says.

“Quite simply they need more staff and sadly we are getting more and more kids in the system with severe problems but we are not seeing a corresponding investment.”

Parent Stacey Gerritsen has a 12-year-old daughter, Megan, who attends Bohally Intermediate. Megan has a rare metabolic condition and relies on a wheelchair, is tube fed and requires a fulltime teacher aide as well as the specialist support.

“Megan requires a fully adaptive curriculum at school, and so the specialist team integrates special support into the school and for us to support Megan. They are all very good at doing their jobs but they desperately need more support,” Stacey says.

Teacher aide Rachel Boyce works with a Year 9 student at Marlborough Boys’ College who has high health and physical needs, and says without the support of the specialist team “I don’t think he would be attending

this school.

“There was a lot of liaising with property maintenance as the buildings and surrounds weren’t feasible for him, so the support from them has played a huge role in getting the college up and running for students with wheelchairs.

“They don’t just see the person as a number, they thrive for the child to succeed and we couldn’t be without teacher aides and the support of these specialists,” Rachel says.

The same is said by Uptown Preschool head teacher Amanda Preece who says the need to keep teachers and teacher aides in their roles supporting children with extra learning needs is “pivotal to education”.

“We are grateful as a centre to have close links with specialist learning and support educators. Without this these children would be hugely disadvantaged.

“From a preschool perspective we see an increased awareness and strong need for more specialist teachers.

“With the opportunity for increased specialist learning staff, there would also be a quicker turnaround in the waiting periods in which these children and families would be able to access vital services within the community. The current waiting period is far too long,” she says.

Winning one-act plays go head to head, competing for their chance to represent our area in the national finals.

Five plays have been selected at local finals across the top of the South Island to be

performed in Havelock.

The regional final will open at 7pm on Saturday. Those performing on Saturday will be: St Andrews College (Green Grass); Nelson Youth Theatre Co (This is a Test); Nelson Youth Theatre Co (Nine).

Those performing on Sunday will be: Keeping Good Company (Dominico Hall); Rangi Ruru Girls College (Girls Like That).

As usual, seating will be cafe style and the doors will open at 6.15pm.

The plays on Sunday start from 9am, with the doors opening at 8.15am Cost is $20 for those wanting to watch two or more plays, $10 for one play. Cash sales at the door.

Time limit on licence The time limit placed on learner and restricted license holders is designed to incentivise novice drivers to progress to the next licensing stage, while gaining the skills and experience needed to drive safely.

The time limit of five years for learner and restricted licenses was adopted four years ago, because it was considered to be a suitable balance between allowing time for driver training and encouraging drivers and motorcycle riders to move through the Graduated Driver Licensing System (GDLS) in a timely way.

New Zealand’s GDLS is a three-step process to gaining a full license.

At 16 years of age, New Zealanders can sit the theory test to gain their learner license and six months later they can sit the practical driving test.

Drivers can sit the full test 18 months after passing their restricted license, although the time can be reduced to 12 months if the driver attends an approved driving course.

Drivers aged 25 years and older can sit the full test six months after passing their restricted license - this is reduced to three months if they complete an advanced driving course.

While many novice drivers may feel the pressure when taking the next step, the intention of the five year time limit is to support the safety of young drivers and reduce the incidence of crashes ending in death and serious injury.

According to research, significant numbers of New Zealand drivers do not progress through the GDLS to obtain their full drivers licences, with many people spending years on their learner and restricted licenses.

Government statistics noted that novice motorists, particularly young people, were over-represented in fatal and serious crashes.

Young drivers and their families are encouraged to head over to drive.govt.nz for more information and tools and resources to support them through the driver licensing process.

No, but awareness is always good and to know what the symptoms are.

Yes, because I work in endoscopy! I see colons every day so it’s important to look after your body and be aware of its changes.

Not concerned and not doing anything about it but I have taken an info packet.

My concern is my dad. But I try to eat well and better.

I’ve had older friends affected by it.

My Grandfather died from bowel cancer and it’s something my mother needs to be concerned about. I’ve personally changed my diet a lot.

It runs in our family. It’s the biggest killer. As blokes, we service our cars and lawn mowers, basically everything else except ourselves.

Push for a bypass Dear Ed, I ask the Marlborough District Council and the Chamber of Commerce to ask Marlborough Roads to push for a bypass of State Highway One. Keeping most of the large truck and trailer units out of Grove Road and Main Street would be a big advantage to locals.

Divert the highway at Rowley Crescent, with a roundabout to Blenheim and a truck bypass over the railway line.

A roundabout to Lower Wairau Road. Go straight to the bend in the bank on Roses Overflow, follow the bank then cross Roses Overflow with several large culverts into Rowberrys Road.

A roundabout on Dillons Point Road along a vineyard, bridge the Opaoa River to a roundabout on State Highway One west of the old St Andrews Lodge.

Now with Riversdale residents requesting another way in and out, a short bridge could be built over the Opaoa. Budge Street could join up with the bypass.

Squeeze on the colleges The Marlborough Girls’ College and Marlborough Boys’ College were supposed to be co-located on a greenfield site, but as the ministry struggled to find a suitable block of land, it was looking at squeezing all three schools on the 13.2-hectare McLauchlan St site.

My question is: For the 50 year (at least) future of college education in Marlborough, is it good enough that the solution be one that, even as we speak, suggests the co-located colleges be “squeezed” onto what is clearly

DON’T LET LIFE STOP YOU FROM MOVING A soothing blend to provide targeted comfort and relief.

The perfect solution for: + joint & muscle pain + stiffness, swelling, inflammation

I think the people of Marlborough, now and into the foreseeable future, expect, and are deserving of, a better solution than what appears to be a very compromised solution.

Can we expect to see some leadership from the Council and others to ensure we do not end up with another compromised and costly short term solution to a long term problem?

Dear Ed, I happened to read a stuff article titled Hippos and Rhinos, about the Marlborough District Council’s pest management strategy where wallabies, which do not exist in Marlborough, are an invasive pest to be repelled, whereas the rambling vine Old Man’s Beard smothers vegetation everywhere and is not a pest plant.

This seems a good script for a Monty Python video - very

laughable - except ratepayers pay the bill for running the comedy sketch.

Think about it.

A real pest is not a pest, an imagined pest is a major pest.

Hey, ratepayers are paying dearly for this!

Dear Ed, Driving the Waihopai Valley Road, there are numerous recently patched potholes that are opening up.

Shoddy work in the first place.

Then at a works section of the road there were two trucks, a digger, six men just yakking and at the other end of the 30 km/hour section, two more men yakking.

The trucks and machinery were idle.

This sort of thing is frequently noticeable elsewhere with contractors.

It raises the question of privatising road maintenance

and other work by using contractors.

I recall the good old Marlborough County Council days with an efficient road maintenance team under Doug Newman.

The point is, today the contractors are not efficient.

On top of that inefficiency the contractors then plonk a profit margin.

Ratepayers are being conned and fleeced thanks to the mayor of the time and a couple of “free market” councillors who championed privatisation and contracting.

It’s getting warmer

By Bill McElhinney We’re holding our own in the annual sunshine stakes with our neighbours in Nelson.

Last month Blenheim was only 4.5 hours behind Richmond in the 2018 sunshine stakes, closely followed by Napier, Whakatane and Tekapo.

Napier was the sunniest town in July with 199.3 hours sunshine, well ahead of both Blenheim and Richmond Rob Agnew, from the Marlborough Research Centre says.

At the end of May Richmond was leading Blenheim by 1.5 hours.

During June Richmond recorded 22.5 hours more sunshine than Blenheim to open up a reasonable gap. However, the tables were turned in July and Blenheim recorded 19.5 hours more sunshine than Richmond, so the gap has narrowed again.

July and March are the only months this year to have recorded slightly above average sunshine hours. So 2018 is certainly not going to break any sunshine records, Rob says.

There were nine wet days

in July 2018 with the highest 24 hour rain total of 35.8 mm recorded on Sunday, July 8.

And it’s getting warmer. July was the fourth warmest July on record in Blenheim for the 86 years from 1932 to 2017.

The average daily maximum temperature of 14.5°C was 1.4°C above average.

July was frosty, but less cold.

A higher number of ground frosts than in July 2016 and 2017 were recorded.

However, only one air frost was recorded in July, well below the long-term average of seven.

On July 14 the coldest ground frost of minus 3.8°C was recorded. The coldest frost recorded last July was minus 6.8°C on July 31.

Given the above average rainfall total in July and evidence of a lot of surface water in low lying areas, it is evident that soil moisture is at or close to field capacity at the start of August.

With wet and relatively warm topsoil, farmers should be able to look forward to good pasture growth so long as soil is not waterlogged.

Several of the workers have been a part of the RSE scheme for several years and have come back to Marlborough, RSE Marlborough manager Dave Craill says.

“Upwards of around 1500 of these guys come here because there’s not enough Kiwis to do the work,” Dave says.

“It’s economically very good for New Zealand, and Vanuatu too,” Dave says.

Blenheim Mayor John Leggett was there to welcome these newcomers and praised the work they did and the skills they bring to the region.

“It’s a really nice role the Migrant Centre can play in their transition into Marlborough,” Migrant Centre trainer Anne Barrer says.

The Intercultural Awareness and Communication Training Course focuses on living and housing, eating healthy, a general welcome and how to integrate into Marlborough society.

Recognised Seasonal Employees come to Blenheim in winter to work in the many Marlborough vineyards, pruning grapevines and doing other maintenance work. The majority of the workers come from Vanuatu and stay here for around five months of the year.

Start summertime blues

By Phil Morrell “Summertime,” sings local musician and entrepreneur Heather Jameson, “and the living is easy.”

It is, in fact, a somewhat coolish winter’s day, although the sun is shining.

But Heather has a naturally sunny disposition and brings a little bit of summer into a cosy lounge heated by a roaring fire, fed periodically by Heather’s husband, Peter.

Despite her obvious natural abilities, Heather’s road to musical success has been long and hard-fought.

Born in Invercargill and later adopted, Heather demonstrated an affinity for the piano at a very young age, although she was not encouraged to pursue an interest in music.

Nevertheless, young Heather would take advantage of every opportunity to run her talented fingers over the keys.

“I can remember playing the piano when I was two,” she says, “and I thought God had come into the room.

“I was obsessed with it. I didn’t get any

lessons, but I tried to play the thing.”

As she grew, Heather would try to play wherever she could find a piano.

“Alan Gardiner,” she explains, “who used to live here in Blenheim years ago and who started the Modern School of Music, would come down to Invercargill with Margaret Gill, who was part of the Gill Construction family here.

“So I got my friends together, and we did Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.”

“They had this band that played in our lounge one day. I remember sitting there thinking, I have to do that.

“So, I made Margaret teach me during the school holidays.”

Heather also discovered at this time that she

was something of a perfectionist.

“I would practice over and over. I drove everyone mad, everyone mental, until I got the song right. I just remember Margaret, and I wanted to do that.”

Soon after moving to Marlborough at the age of twelve, Heather attended Marlborough Girls’ College where she continued to follow her passion for the piano, nearly getting herself expelled in the process.

“We used to have these talent competitions where you could play classical music,” she says, “so I got my friends together, and we did Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.”

This choice nearly proved to be Heather’s undoing, although her determination remained undiminished.

However, her move from amateur enthusiast to professional musician was a long time coming, due in part to acute shyness.

Several years passed while Heather and Peter raised their two children.

Over that time, Heather still pursued her interest in music, but it was not until she

was in her mid-thirties that she again took to the stage.

Now she is in constant demand as a musician and performer, with regular gigs at various venues across the region.

Heather also teaches the piano from her home in central Blenheim and records music in her small studio.

Now that she has conquered the stage, and to some degree her shyness, Heather is looking for new opportunities.

First, she founded White Wabbit Teas using her experience as a tea blender gained overseas, then offering accommodation in a 1940s retro Teardrop Caravan.

Next up? Heather Jameson – mother, musician, teacher, tea magnate, and accommodation host – is considering writing a comic play about adoption, as well as trying her hand as a stand-up comedian.

And somehow, you get the impression that if Heather truly sets her sights on something, nothing will stop her achieving it.

Marlborough Podiatry

There are plenty of exciting things afoot at Marlborough Podiatry.

Kaylene has been operating her business in Blenheim for over three years and more recently, welcomed a new staff member and has introduced some new technology that no other podiatrist has in the top-of-the-south.

Anna O’Regan has joined Kaylene as a health assistant after having worked in the podiatry field since 1999.

“After spending some time in Sydney I came back to Blenheim and started a family, and now I’ve decided to come back to podiatry. It’s only been a week but so far I’ve really enjoyed working with Kaylene and having that patient contact which I love,” she says.

At Marlborough Podiatry, Kaylene and Anna deal with a wide range of ages from the young through to elderly, and are trained to deal with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of conditions that affect the feet and lower limbs.

Helping with treatment recovery is a new machine bought in by Kaylene which focuses on heel and leg pain.

The Intelect RPW device (pictured) provides a non invasive treatment solution for conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, a common complaint which has proven difficult to treat in some cases.

It’s technology that Kaylene had always been interested in since she first studied podiatry.

“I made the decision to purchase the device after becoming frustrated that people were not getting the recovery results they were looking for. I had clients who had explored

every possible option and were still in pain, coming to me as the last stop. I wanted a faster recovery for them,” she says.

The device’s radial pressure waves help with pain reduction, increased metabolism and promotes renewed blood flow for tissue healing, regeneration and muscle tone recovery.

“It works so well,” Kaylene says.

“I’ve only had this machine for a few month’s and already have success stories. One client couldn’t lift his heel off the ground.

After treatment he could stand up on his tip-toes,” she says.

“Another example was someone who came to me with heel pain and no prior treatment had worked. After the first treatment there was a significant reduction in pain and after the second, there was no more pain.

“The client could not believe how well it had worked!”

Kaylene recommends clients have an assessment to begin with where she can look at the way the joints and muscles move in the knees, hips and feet, before giving a diagnosis.

“If I think the radial shockwave therapy will assist in the recovery then I will recommend it,” she says.

Another benefit of the device is that it comes with a massage head that Kaylene does not charge to use as part of a client’s treatment.

“I’m really pleased that I have this machine.

I’m the only one in the top-of-the-south who can provide radial shockwave therapy, so if you think it’s something that can benefit you please get in contact... your feet will thank you for it,” she says.

Angel Investors George Elworthy and Mark Unwin bought local firm Solcor, which makes and distributes solid core rubber shock cords and bungy cords.

Angel Investors snap up a ‘carefully nurtured’ business

By Bill McElhinney Marlborough-made bungy cords have the potential to go global.

Loring Distributors Solcor makes and distributes solid core rubber shock cords and bungy cords, as well as fittings and accessories that are specifically designed for harsh marine environments with exposure to the elements and UV light.

The cords were used by boats in the Whitbread Round the World yacht race and passed with flying colours.

The company has export opportu-

nities for its locally developed and proven products.

Solcor made an impression on Angel Investors Marlborough, a chapter of the national angel investment community.

Angel Investors members Mark Unwin and George Elworthy liked locally owned and operated Solcor so much, that they decided to buy the business outright.

New co-owner Mark Unwin says he and George are “very pleased to take over this carefully nurtured business, introduced to us through

Angel Investors Marlborough.

“We are looking forward to carrying on the great work of former owner Graeme Fong and taking the business to the next level,” Mark says.

Angel Investors was set up to connect Marlborough business needing capital with investors looking for investment opportunities.

The organisation now has a steady stream of businesses that are pitching to its Angel Investors at ‘Dragon’s Den’ evenings.

Manager Brian Dawson has been

pleased with the number of quality presentations.

‘We’ve been thrilled with the number of business owners who have confidently pitched their business to the Angels. It clearly shows that Marlborough has the ability to produce high growth scalable business that can be taken to the rest of New Zealand and the rest of the world’.

Brian says the group are keen to talk to high growth businesses.

‘Dragon’s Den’ evenings are held every six weeks, and Angel Investors is looking for more highgrowth scalable businesses that have ambitions to sell beyond Marlborough.

Business owners have found the requirement to consider their plans and goals for the future as part of preparing their presentations has been useful, Brian says, even if potential investment doesn’t happen.

A day for hope The Cancer Society of New Zealand’s Daffodil Day symbolises hope for 1 in 3 New Zealanders affected by cancer.

Since 1990, this iconic event has inspired people to come together and support the Cancer Society’s work. As well as providing an opportunity to raise awareness of cancer in New Zealand.

Your donations will go towards providing a wide range of support services, education and awareness campaigns/programmes for people affected by cancer in Marlborough.

Whether it’s buying daffodils, donating to our street collectors, purchasing our merchandise, or making a donation, every gift counts.

Volunteers set for another great Daffodil Day Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day is coming up next week on August 31 and volunteers are already gearing up for a big day.

Pickers will be out next Tuesday and volunteers will be delivering daffodils to businesses who pre-ordered them.

Pre-ordering daffodils will be available right up until the day, however fresh bunches will also be available around town for a gold coin donation.

On the day there will be schools groups, Kapa Haka, line dancing, pipe bands, ukulele performances happening throughout the day from 9am to 4pm at Liz Davidson Place, Blenheim.

Collectors will be out from 8am all over town during Daffodil Day collecting donations and the public will have the choice between fresh or fabric daffodils.

Collections will also be happening at Picton, Havelock and Renwick to make it easy for everyone to donate.

Over 400 volunteers like Marrilyn Colquhoun

Proud Supporters Proud Supporters of Daffodil Day

will be helping out across Marlborough before, during and after the event, doing everything from collecting, merchandising and picking flowers, through to bunching and selling.

Marrilyn has been volunteering her time coming up five years now and she’s done all sorts of jobs for Cancer Society but this Daffodil Day she’ll be doing general office administration.

“I volunteer because of the help I’ve received in the past. It’s a case of giving back,” Marrilyn says.

Hilary Gill who has been organising Daffodil days for 10 years now says it’s growing every year.

“When I started we raised around $30, 000 and now it’s over $80,000,” Hilary says.

It’s about helping the community, they both say.

“It’s knowing you’re doing something to help others,” Marrilyn says.

Cancer Society Marlborough’s Volunteer Coordinator Hilary Gill and Volunteer Marrilyn Colquhoun are getting ready for Daffodil Day next Friday on August 31.

Support the Cancer Society’s annual fundraiser You can support the Cancer Society in lots of different ways on Daffodil Day (Friday, August 31). Merchandise will be available to purchase all around town and fresh and fabric daffodils will be available from all the supermarkets in Blenheim for a gold coin donation.

Tote bags are already available from New World but pens, serviettes and fresh daffodils are already open for pre-ordering from the Cancer Society offices.

Windows lose heat

A lot of your home’s heat can escape through windows, especially if you already have well insulated ceilings, floors and walls.

One way to minimise this heat loss is by providing insulation for your windows.

Double glazing is a way of creating an insulating gas layer - either normal air or special heavy gases - between two panes of glass.

It lets in as much sunlight as single-glazed windows, but is better at holding in heat.

Double glazing is standard in most new houses but it’s also worth installing in existing homes if your existing windows require substantial repairs or replacing. If you need to prioritise, install double glazing to the main heated areas of the house as well as to large windows.

Good double glazed windows can: • Halve heat loss through windows • Significantly improve thermal comfort in your home • Reduce external noise • Reduce or remove condensation build up in cold weather.

For best performance, look for the following: Frames that have a thermal break or are made of insulating materials - a plastic or

resin section in the centre of the aluminium joinery or frames made from an insulating material, such as uPVC or wood. These are less likely to attract condensation and will lose less heat than windows with standard aluminium frames.

Compared to standard aluminium frames, thermally broken aluminium frames reduce window heat loss by about 20% and uPVC or wooden frames by about 40%.

Low-emissivity (low-E) glass - allows light and heat in, but reflects some of the escaping heat back inside the room. Double glazing with low-E glass cuts window heat loss by about 20% to 30%, compared to double glazing without low-E. Multiple layers of good seals - to keep draughts, moisture and noise out. The joint between the glazing unit and the frame also needs to be well sealed.

Spacers made of plastic or stainless steel (instead of aluminium) - these spacers separate the glass panes to reduce heat loss and condensation at the glass edge.

Inert gas filling - such as argon, between the glass layers. This is a better insulator than air, reducing window heat loss 3% to 9% more than double glazing with air filling.

38 Main Street, Blenheim | ph 578 7900 | www.guthriebowron.co.nz Offer ends 3 September 2018. *Conditions apply.

Curtains - attractive and functional Well-installed curtains and blinds can help to reduce heat loss through your windows.

“Sealing” the curtain or blind, stopping air movement between the window and the room, is much more important than the material it is made from.

Open curtains and blinds during the day and close them just before it gets dark to allow your house to gain heat from the sun during the day, and better retain it overnight.

In summer, close curtains and blinds on the side facing the sun and open windows to help keep your home cool.

Tips for curtains To provide good insulation your curtains should: • Be floor-length and touch the floor, or have pelmets above them with only a minimal air-gap between the top of the curtain and the pelmet (sill-length curtains are ineffective)

Keep your eye on your game ... get noticed in The Sun Give Simon, Gemma or Skai a call!

Phone: 5777 868 • simon@blenheimsun.co.nz

• Fit tightly against the wall or window frame • Be wider than the window frame • Preferably be double layered with a thick lining.

Net-curtains installed very close to the window, and in contact with the window frame, can be effective too.

Tips for blinds To provide good insulation, your blinds should have a snug fit with the window frame, creating a good seal to trap the air in the gap between them and the window (if there are gaps around the blinds, their thermal effect will be minimal).

Specifically designed thermal blinds (sometimes described as ‘honeycomb’ or ‘cellular’ blinds) may provide additional insulation, but only if they can be installed without any gaps around them – which is hard to achieve in practice.

Winter Warmth

2018

Tips for staying well in winter Wash your hands. Winter illnesses are easily spread by hands. Wash both sides of the hands and between the fingers for at least 20 seconds, use soap, and dry hands with a paper towel or clean dry towel.

Exercise daily. A 30-minute walk outside gives you some fresh air and helps your body get stronger.

Choose to eat healthy foods. This helps to build your immune system. Include fresh vegetables with some lean protein and try to reduce sugar and salt intake.

Get fresh air in your home. Open windows during the day (even for a short time) and then close them before the sun goes down or before you turn on the heating.

Reduce dampness. Keep the bathroom door closed when showering or bathing to lessen dampness settling around the house.

Dampness allows mould and mildew to grow and can lead to respiratory illness.

Take care with coughs and sneezing.

You may be spreading bugs if you are coughing or sneezing, and the best way to avoid this is to stay away from work or school.

Use Healthline or your GP clinic after hours line for advice. If you or your child is feeling unwell you can get free health advice from registered nurses by phoning Healthline on 0800 611 116.

If you have a serious mould problem in your home, call in the experts. Don’t risk your health by ignoring it.

Mould is hazardous Air your home to prevent mould A dry, well-aired home is easier to heat and healthier for you and your family. To air your home, open windows and doors whenever you can. Make the most of the sun’s warmth by opening curtains early in the morning and closing them just before it gets dark.

If you’re creating steam or moisture, either by cooking, bathing or using a clothes dryer, open windows and use any extractor fans.

Other things you can do to prevent mould and damp are: • Keep lids on pots when cooking • Wipe condensation off walls and windows • Hang washing outside, and make sure everything’s dry before putting it away • Leave wardrobes slightly open and pull beds and furniture away from walls so they can breathe • Keep the shower curtain hanging inside the shower or bath so water doesn’t drip on the floor, and wash the curtain every few weeks • Use an electric heater rather than un-flued portable gas heaters (gas heaters expel water as the gas burns) • Keep only a few plants inside.

Remove mould as soon as it appears To protect the health of everyone in your home, remove mould as soon as it appears.

White vinegar is a cheap and effective option to kill or clean mould. On painted surfaces, thin down the vinegar half and half with water to avoid damaging the paint or other

surfaces that might discolour.

Leave it for a few days to take effect and then wipe off the dead mould with soap and water using a clean cloth.

You can also use diluted household bleach (1 part bleach with 3 parts water mixed together) in a bucket of water to dispose of excess water containing mopped up mould to a drain. Your supermarket will also have a range of eco-friendly cleaners.

Use a clean sponge or cloth when washing off mould and rinse it often to reduce the risk of it spreading. Remember to wear the necessary safety equipment such as gloves, eye protection and an appropriate safety mask when handling cleaning chemicals and when washing the mould away.

Keep mattresses aired to prevent damp.

If you or anyone in your family sleeps on a mattress on the floor, this will cause damp on the floor space covered by the mattress. Damp can cause health problems, as well as maybe causing damage to the mattress and the floor.

If it’s not possible to put the mattress on a proper bed frame off the floor, be sure to air the mattress every day – remove the blankets and sheets and lift the mattress onto its side.

Hidden sources of dampness left undetected long enough may cause expensive damage to a home. If there is unexplained dampness a landlord could bring in a qualified building surveyor to determine if there is a less visible issue causing the damp.

Marlborough District Council is offering a Home Clean Heating Funding Scheme.

This is available to all ratepayers to help improve our regions air quality!

Marlborough volleyballer on the move

By Peter Jones, Sport Tasman Volleyballer Eloise van Velthooven is on the move again.

The former Marlborough Girls’ College stand-out, who represented the senior New Zealand women’s side while still at school, has been playing in the United States since 2016.

After spending her first two years at Parkland College in Champaign, Illinois, the 1.86m 20-year-old has been recruited by a college in Texas.

Eloise van Velthooven.

She will attend Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi, situated on the Texas Gulf Coast, an institution with over 12,000 students.

At the “Island University” the lofty outside hitter will play volleyball in the senior NCAA division one competition, as part of the Southland Conference, and complete her studies towards a degree in exercise science.

During her time at Parkland, Eloise met with considerable success. In her freshman [first] year her side won the national [NJCAA] junior division two title, losing just two of their 53 games for the year.

In her second [sophomore] year they lost just six games,

and wound up fourth, but the young Kiwi learned plenty from the experience.

“It was a really good stepping stone into the American system … lots of fun, I learnt a lot from the coaches … loved every minute of it.

“I feel like I have grown a lot, physically and mentally …just being surrounded by such good players, lots of them way better than me, it’s just made me grow in confidence.”

After finishing her two junior years at Parkland, Eloise was on the lookout for

a new college, somewhere her burgeoning volleyball talents could develop even further and Texas A&M fitted the bill nicely.

The 2177km trip from Champaign, near the Great Lakes, to Corpus Christi, on the Gulf of Mexico, will mean a major change in weather conditions for the Kiwi, but she clearly prefers the warmer temperatures of the southern climates.

“I can’t wait for it to be hot all year round – it’s so cold in Illinois … it’s been around 30 [degrees] here each day

since I arrived, really humid.

The constant sea breezes make it bearable, but it’s still pretty hot.”

Eloise played for the New Zealand under-18 team in 2014, the NZ schools side in 2015 and the national women’s team in 2015 and 2016.

“The Islanders,” as Texas A&M teams are known, are aiming to take out the Southland Conference, earning a chance to play in the US nationals, which involve the top college players in the country.

Blue team - Emma McArtney Sponsor - Wadsco Trucks & Hortus My name is Emma and I moved here to sunny Marlborough from England when I was 12. My husband Blair and I have two beautiful school aged children.

I am an early childhood teacher at a local preschool and also run our business which is caring for school aged children.

I have worked with children here in Blenheim for 15 years and have seen many children of different ages being able to take

advantage of the programmes that Life Education Trust ‘Harold’ provides.

The health programs that they provide are so beneficial, plus they have Harold to look forward to seeing... Harold is quite a celebrity within the community!

I’ve never been one for team sports, I enjoyed throwing some weights around a few years back but nothing that I have stuck with.

However boxing.... I really enjoy!

I started boxing some time ago and really enjoyed it so I stuck with it.

I went to the Fight for Life last year and it was such a buzz, I remember saying I am going to do that next year, and here I am!

A HUGE thank you to my sponsors Hortus and Wadsco trucks, this would not be possible without you guys, I hope I make you guys proud! Can’t wait for fight night, see you there.

The Sun will be profiling each Fight For Life competitor in the lead up to the big event on September 29.
