Kilts on for dance Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk Havelock local and Scotsman Jim Baillie is donning his kilt to host his second annual Scottish Country Dance (Ceilidh) on November 7.

Last year’s dance was a sell out success, something Jim hopes will happen again this year as he is planning to donate all profits to Havelock’s Boardwalk project.

“Last year was incredible, all 100 tickets sold and we were turning people away at the door.

“People enjoyed the Scottish traditions and relaxed style of how it was run. Many people said it reminded them of the good old days in Havelock where dances were regularly held.

Continued page 2 Pelorus Mailboat owner Jim Baillie has organised the second annual Scottish Country Dance which will benefit the Havelock Boardwalk Project.

Scottish dance raises funds for Havelock Continued from page 1 “The money we raised benefited the Havelock Lions, Cactus and Outward Bound organisations and this year we are throwing our support behind the boardwalk project,” he says.

Havelock Community Association community development adviser Hans Neilson says seeing community members supporting local projects is fantastic to see.

“The community has identi-

fied that boardwalk project is a priority and people are getting behind it to help raise funds which is hugely encouraging.

“This event is a great thing for Havelock because, as well as being about the most fun you can have standing up, it also marks yet another event/ activity that is contributing towards the achievement of our larger community goals,” he says.

Jim, who owns the Pelorus Mail Boat was born and raised

in Inverness, North East Scotland. He arrived in New Zealand as a backpacker 14 years ago and never left.

“I had been working with kiwis in France and Turkey and they kept saying I should visit New Zealand,” he says.

He spent 10 years flying planes before settling in Havelock with the mail boat.

“It suits me to the ground... water, the Ma rlborough Sounds, staying close to my family,” he says.

Performing at the dance will be Scottish band Slocken and a light dinner including stovies and clooty dumplings will be served.

People are invited to take their own drinks.

See 14 short films for almost $1 each

By Jacob Page Call it a punt on the silver screen but Marlborough’s independent film talent will have a chance to shine next week at the inaugural Top of the South Film Festival.

It’s a chance for people to see 14 short films for just $15.

Organisers Aaron Falvey and Phil McKinnon say the short films ranging from seven to 28 minutes and spanning all genres will be shown at the Marlborough Civic Theatre on Wednesday night.

Half a dozen of those films have been made by Marlburians Chris Lippiatt, Ryan A. Lloyd, James Wvinner, Stu McCormick and Daniel Rarity.

“Last year we did a film festival for all of my films,” Aaron says.

“It proved quite successful and Phil came to me and said we should do something for the public.”

A screenshot from the movie Tama that will be one of the key attractions at the Top of the South film festival next week.

Phil says there are all sorts of films from horror to action, documentaries and true stories.

“We want to have movies that appeal to everyone,” Phil says.

“We want to give our filmmakers the best chance to show what they can do,” Aaron says.

“It’s also our fundraiser with proceeds going towards funding local films.

Ryan A Lloyd’s film called Tama is based on his own grandfather and his middle son.

The New Zealand Film Commission helped fund it and it featured at the New Zealand International Film Festival.

“That should be a little treat for everyone… It’s a mix of his own work while blending in his home movie footage,” Aaron says.

“We’ve got some filmmakers who are putting together their first film while others have 20 years experience so there’s a wide range there.”

Tickets are available from TicketDirect or the Marlborough Civic Theatre with the event starting at 8pm.

‘Laddie’s’ final act felt for decades to come

By Jacob Page Alan “Laddie” Hope’s last generous act will have an impact on the Marlborough community “for decades to come,” according to Hospice Marlborough chairperson Peter Tolan.

Laddie’s 1970 home, he built himself in Warwick Street was sold for $273,000 at an auction at the property on Wednesday night.

Representatives from charities as well as family and friends of Laddie attended the auction.

Peter says occasions like this are rare and need to be recognised.

“The Hospice provides a free service for the Marlborough community and it’s through generous acts like this that we invest the money and use only the interest to provide the service.

“Laddie’s kind act will last many, many years and benefit people in Marlborough for decades.”

Marlborough St John manager Rod Hill says the money his organisation receives will ensure a new ambulance will be serving the Marlborough community before Christmas.

The new ambulance will also have the number plate ‘Laddie’ in honour of the man who made it possible.

“We’ve been talking to the family to ensure that when the ambulance arrives, the number plates will be on it.

“Our hope is that others will see it and think that it is something they will consider doing.

Harcourts auctioneer Bryan Palmer holds a photo of Alan “Laddie” Hope as his Warwick Street house was sold for $273,000 on Wednesday night “It’s a wonderful gesture.” with funds going to Marlborough St John and Marlborough Hospice.

RNZAF huts on the move

By Jacob Page Training huts from RNZAF Dip Flat were on the move to their new permanent home at Omaka earlier this week with 10 of the 17 now set for preservation.

The Garrison Society has entered into a custodial agreement with the RNZAF to preserve the huts that will now become part of the old RNZAF Station Omaka complex.

Commanding officer Adam North says preservation work will be slow and reliant on funding but he was confident they would be an asset in the new location.

New restaurant for Scott Street

Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk Jetti Omkar has a lot to smile about as he prepares to open his new restaurant MIA - Made In Aotearoa Dining and Wine Cellar.

Jetti has taken over the premises previously occupied by Angkor and is in the process of completely refurbishing the inside.

His plans include having a wine cellar mainly focusing on showcasing Marlborough as being a premium wine region, and the stylish menu will consist of fresh locally produced food with a European twist.

“In Marlborough we have over 150 wineries and because people don’t get to experience them all, they can come in and try them

all under one roof.

“We will be open from 11am till late,” he says.

This has been a project one year in the making Jetti says, so finally seeing his concept come to life has been hugely exciting.

Having degrees in viticulture and wine making as well as hospitality and hotel management, Jetti feels his qualifications definitely add to the concept of dining and wine.

“I plan to be spending a lot of time talking to people about wine and food and generally promoting Marlborough the best I can,” he says.

Jetti plans to have Made In Aotearoa open for business in the second or third week of November.

Jetti Omkar is set to open his new restaurant Made In Aotearoa (MIA) in Scott Street around the beginning of November.

Easter trading bill in the works A Bill enabling local communities to decide whether retailers in their districts can open on Easter Sunday was introduced to Parliament yesterday, says Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Michael Woodhouse.

The issue over Easter trading had been a major one in Blenheim with shops unable to open during the bi-annual Classic Fighters Air Show at Omaka “The Shop Trading Hours Amendment Bill will enable communities, through councils, to choose whether or not to allow trading on Easter Sunday,” Mr Woodhouse says.

“The historical Easter Sunday shop trading exemptions are out of date and create an unfair advantage for certain businesses and regions that can continue trading while others stay shut.

“We know there is a demand from communities across the country to allow for shop trading on Easter Sunday, particularly from those districts who rely on tourism.

“This Bill will give those districts the choice of how to respond to that demand though their local councils.

Ekam Food mart owner Dave Singh (left) has opened a second store in Blenheim to go with the one in Nelson.

A little spice for CBD

By Jacob Page Dave Singh is expanding his Indian convenience store chain Ekam Food Mart across the hill to Blenheim.

Dave, who began washing dishes at Pizza Hut in Gore before going on to now own the store as well as three more in Richmond, Nelson and Blenheim, opened his first Indian convenience store in Nelson in February.

The new shop in Scott Street will carry the same name as the Nelson store, Ekam, which is named after Dave’s daughter.

“Ekam means everybody so it’s a lovely name.”

The store will have all sorts of Indian spices, snacks, naan bread and sweets,

as well as standard food mart products including fizzy drinks and potato chips.

It will be open seven days a week.

“It’s a good opportunity to have somewhere in Scott Street where people can buy their milk,” Dave says.

“We’ll also have a Western Union outlet where people can send money.”

Dave says he studied the market for four months and he felt Blenheim needed a place where people could purchase Indian spices.

“We’ll have ready to eat meals too that are kind of heat and eat food so it is all about convenience.”

There will also be some herbal medicines available.

Life jackets – take them on board and wear them Nobody expects to fall overboard or their boat to sink. But, if you end up in the water, you have much more chance of saving yourself - and those on board with you - if you’re wearing a lifejacket.

Lifejackets won’t save you unless you wear them.

The Marlborough navigation bylaws require that all vessels have the sufficient number, size and type of lifejackets for everyone on the vessel.

The Harbour Master has a zero tolerance approach to this rule. Anyone found to be in charge of a vessel without enough lifejackets on board will be issued an infringement notice and face a $200 penalty. That includes dinghies and kayaks In the interests of safety it is strongly recommended that, on vessels under 6m, everyone should wear a lifejacket at all times while at sea.

Lifejackets can be the difference between surviving and drowning • Lady Elizabeth IV and Coastguard Marlborough open evening tonight - Thursday 22nd October - from 4pm to 7pm at the Picton marina.

Donald Duck helps bring home the water safety message to Picton by wearing his life jacket. Harbour masters Luke Grogan (left) and Alex van Wijngaarden had a little help from Josh and Izac McLeod to get the duck to wear his flotation gear.

“Donald couldn’t be persuaded to raise his arms to allow us to strap his jacket on properly but we hope that everyone realises that a life jacket is no use unless it’s on and properly secured,” said Captain Grogan.

Lovely lady

Already there’s negativity re the new MDC chief, before he’s even started in that role c’mon, give the guy a chance.

It’s a bit delayed but I’d like to thank a great person named Keri who saw myself, friend and my four boys get a taxi to the supermarket so she waited and gave us a ride home and ended up giving me $15 for the taxi fee..still amazed about this.

Thank-you!!!

Excellent, timely service We are new Marlburians and are totally gobsmacked by the constant negative comments by some about service here - lack of it or bad.

Our experience is the absolute opposite.

We have had excellent, timely service from everyone.

Keep up the good work Blenheim businesses!

Maybe some consumers need to change their attitudes!

Re comments from #fedup complaining about lack of honest reliable tradesmen.

We moved to Blenheim last year and EVERY tradesman we have dealt with has been excellent.

Blown away by service given by retailers and tradies in Blenheim.

I suggest you shop around if not happy!

I agree totally! Councils charging such excessively ridiculous costs for dumping a trailer load of rubbish!

No wonder people are dumping rubbish on river beds and places hidden from sight from the public view. $76 just to empty your trailer ???!

Does the over paid council staff understand the low income rate paying people can’t afford such extravagant charges? ?? $25 is all it should cost across the board for dumping as we already paying for the rubbish to be dumped as it gets picked up every Monday morning!

I won’t pay that much to empty my trailer if it’s that much!

Vintage cafe opens Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk Two young friends from the North Island have come to Havelock to open their first ever cafe, Apples for Charlotte.

Tessa Matthews and Shannon Prouse opened their cafe on October 1 after weeks of pouring every ounce of their love for all things vintage and shabby chic into it.

Right from the furniture through to the baking, Tessa and Shannon are proud of what they have created.

“We both love vintage and have spent years collecting bits and pieces, so when it came to opening the cafe we already had everything we needed.

old fashioned lemonade.

There is also a selection of high teas available which have already proved popular in the three weeks they have been open.

Outside the girls have built a pallet wall garden where they grow their own herbs, lettuce and spinach.

“It’s neat to be able to grow our own produce.”

Tessa and Shannon first met in 2009 doing theatre in Wanganui and became instant friends.

Their love of tea parties saw them open up a market stall where they sold their baking for around a year.

It wasn’t until Tessa’s father told them about empty shops in Havelock that they decided to open their cafe.

Obituary FREE

Trevor May remembered as vintage car icon Marlborough man Trevor May was considered an icon of the New Zealand vintage car scene.

Trevor died last month at age 89, after spending his whole life in Marlborough.

He worked at Lucas Brothers almost exclusively except for 12 months working at McKendry Motors.

He built cars and tractors with Ted Lucas, was one of the originals who

set up Brayshaw Park and was a founding member of the Marlborough

branch of the New Zealand Vintage Car Club.

Club member Trevor Harris says he loved Ford cars and helped restore a 1918 Model T that he then drove around at organised events.

He was also an integral part of the club’s spare parts department.

“Trev was excellent at naming and understanding a part,” he says.

Marlborough anniversary Weekend oct 31 – nov 2

BBQ season Warm spring and summer temperatures and cooking food outdoors provide the ideal situation for pathogens to multiply and cause foodborne illness.

That means you need to take special care when preparing, cooking and storing food for a barbecue.

Full Day’s Fishing Trip only $120 Includes professional tuition.

Also Available: Overnight stays with hunting options.

Museum a must-see Rembrandt Remastered is an ode to one of the greatest European artists: Rembrandt, who made 330 paintings in his life.

Celebrate this incredible exhibition at the Nelson Provincial Museum.

The paintings are now spread over the whole world in national art galleries as well as private collections, some of which are very difficult to access by the public.

Other important Rembrandt paintings have been damaged or stolen, the original mastery no longer being accessible to viewers today.

Thanks to the latest techniques in digital photography and the inexhaustible knowledge of Professor Ernst van de Wetering of the ac-

claimed Rembrandt Research Project, this exhibition offers the spectacular opportunity to see a group of Rembrandt’s masterpieces digitally restored to their original condition as if they had just left Rembrandt’s studio.

The images are full size and displayed in chronological order with accompanying text that tells the story of the individual pictures and his compelling life.

The Nelson Provincial Museum is located on the corner of Trafalgar and Hardy Streets, Nelson, where there are two main gallery spaces featuring the Regional History gallery and temporary exhibitions, a classroom, museum shop and rooftop garden, and an excellent cafe attached right next door.

Put this on your must-see list for your next visit to Nelson.

You can fish in some of the best fishing grounds in New Zealand and then go hunting in the evening from the Bach, and day two you can hunt or fish, the choice is yours.

Catch Snapper, Blue Cod, King fish, Grouper, Kahawai, Flounder, and enjoy fresh juicy green-lipped mussels.

They will make your fishing adventure memorable for all the right reasons.

Marlborough anniversary Weekend oct 31 – nov 2

Heritage milestone

The Hunter’s Garden Cafe re-opened at the beginning of October, so if you haven’t been along yet, make time this weekend.

Available are platters, wine flights, good coffee and more.

Relax in the spring garden setting.

Open for lunch from 11am.

The Marlborough Vintage & Farm Machinery Society in conjunction with Tua Marina Vintage Farm Machinery are holding a 50th anniversary celebration over the weekend of October 31 and November 1 at Brayshaw Park.

As well as having most of our vintage machinery on outside display, organisers are hoping that many clubs from around New Zealand bring some of their machinery to display along side of it.

There will be a huge working steam engine which will be fired up, the Society’s restored cottage will be open for viewing and there will be butter and cheese making.

The historic smithy will be in full operation as well as the vintage school bus for rides around the site. With craft stalls, rides and demonstrations throughout the day, there is plenty to see for all ages.

Open both days 10am – 3pm. Lots of fun for all the family.

Rhyan Cadwallender got up close to a vintage tractor during a Marlborough Vintage & Farm Machinery Society event last year.

Safety first

Local markets with plenty to see Enjoy the Artisan Market (pictured above) this Saturday at the Wynen Street carpark in Blenheim.

On Sunday the Marlborough Farmers Market will also be held at the A&P Showgrounds.

If you plan to head away or into the outdoors on Marlborough Anniversary Weekend, make sure you take precautions and stay safe.

The New Zealand Mountain Safety Council (MSC) is encouraging people to plan and prepare before heading outdoors.

MSC Chief Executive Mike Daisley says it doesn’t matter whether people are heading out for a few hours or several days, or how experienced they are, preparation is essential to ensure a safe, enjoyable trip.

Mr Daisley encourages people to plan their trip, tell someone, be aware of the weather, know your limits and take sufficient supplies

Tick

iT off

With the change of season nearly upon us, now is the time to get those jobs done.

Cruise into summer knowing you have ticked it off!

Get handy at home Being spring, chances are you have a long list of jobs to do in and around your home.

If you plan to put your feet up and relax these summer holidays, you should start ticking off that list.

Here are a few ideas to help get you motivated.

• Most importantly, test smoke/carbon dioxide detectors and where necessary have the batteries replaced.

If you don’t have any or enough smoke detectors, get some!

• Vacuum your refrigerator coils. Over time, the coils get dirty and your fridge requires more energy. You can save money by doing this.

• Check the exterior drainage and clean out gutters.

• Get your air conditioning system installed or serviced for summer. Getting it serviced by a professional will save money and headaches down the road.

• Clear dead plants/shrubs from the house.

• Check trees for interference with electric lines. Have them professionally trimmed if necessary.

Spring clean your car Will you be heading out in your Air filters need to be checked and, if car this summer? Then make sure necessary, replaced. As fuel filters are usuyour vehicle is safe and roadworthy ally sealed units, they can’t be checked for by having it inspected and serviced. blockages so should be replaced regularly.

Testing and replacing smoke alarms in your home should be a top priority.

• Inspect roofing for damage or leaks and have them repaired and repainted.

• Have your house sprayed for bugs and insects before they come out in force.

White tail spiders, ants and cockroaches don’t need an invitation to invade.

Getting your car ready now will reduce the chances of something going wrong when you’re on the road, giving you the reassurance you need to get on with enjoying your summer holiday.

Below is a checklist of just some of the things that need to be carefully monitored in the warmer months.

Cooling systems Cooling systems need to be checked for leaks, and to make sure hoses are secure and in good condition. If the coolant water has not been changed within the past two years, the cooling system needs to be drained, flushed and refilled with clean water and the correct coolant additive.

Cambelts and fan belts Cambelt and fan belt failure is common.

If you don’t know when they were last changed, these should be checked.

This is also a good time to have other drive belts checked for damage.

Air and fuel filters

Spark plugs Worn spark plugs can lead to engines misfiring and the eventual breakdown of the high tension leads, so check and replace if necessary.

Engine and transmission oil Engine and transmission needs to be checked for oil leakage. If the engine oil and oil filter hasn’t been changed within the past 12 months, have it done.

Wheels Wheels should be removed so that your brake condition can be checked.

Tyres Tyres must be checked for excessive or unusual wear patterns and for any lumps or tread distortion, as well as pressure.

And don’t forget the spare.

Exhaust Exhaust leaks can cause deadly carbon monoxide fumes to build up in the cabin, leading to a loss of engine power. They also increase fuel consumption.

The Moody effect The All Blacks’ quarterfinal fabulous win over France showed the value of the ITM Cup rugby competition.

Already the envy of the rest of the rugby world the provincial competition allows not only future All Blacks a stage in which to shine, it has in World Cup years, allowed those players on the fringes to remain match fit in case injury cover was needed.

Rake Canterbury’s Joe Moody.

The big prop was called in pre match for the injured Tony Woodcock and then ended up playing 60 minutes when Wyatt Crocket was injured midway through the first half at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff.

Moody had been a regular starter for Canterbury after narrowly missing out on World Cup selection.

He and players like Cory Jane, Jeremy Thrush, Ryan Crotty and the now injured Israel Dagg have at least been playing a decent standard of rugby just in case injury cover was needed.

Moody showed the value of it on Sunday morning.

He did his job well, was industrious around the park, scrummed well and hit the ruck clean-outs hard.

While he admitted post-match he was tired, the ITM Cup at least ensured he was match fit although perhaps not All Black fit.

inbrief

sports talk

It was an admirable effort on short notice.

Should injury strike again, and the statistics suggest it will, then it is good to know ready replacements can step up.

On a side note, how good do Wellington loose forward Ardie Savea and his Auckland counterpart Akira Ioane look?

Those two look like future All Blacks and it won’t be the distant future either.

That’s the joy of the ITM Cup, new talent is unearthed and older players return to give back to their provinces.

The All Blacks by plenty on the weekend – time to be positive and not hyper-critical for once.

Will has the need for speed

By Jacob Page Will Exton believes he can be the South Island Junior Vortex mini rok kart champion by the end of the weekend.

The 11-year-old Marlburian is one of 90 competitors at the Wadsco Motor World South Island Sprint meeting in being hosted by the KartSport Marlborough Club at its Cresswell Electrical Kart Raceway in Blenheim.

Will has been doing karting for more than three years, following in the footsteps of his father Gareth.

Will was one of many who began testing at the track yesterday with racing to be held tomorrow and Sunday.

“I really enjoy going fast and I want to win the whole thing,” Will says.

A fan of British Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, Will says he enjoys motorsport and is looking forward to seeing how far he goes with it.

There will be four grades raced each day.

One of the key storylines at the South Island title meeting in Blenheim, meanwhile, will be if multi-time South Island class champion Chris Cox from Rangiora can repeat his three-class title haul from the 2014 meeting in Dunedin.

While a number of drivers contest two classes, Cox is one of the only ones to attempt three at the one meeting, yet last year he not only did it, he also won each class - KZ2,

Double for Omaka Jets The Marlborough Corporate Rowing 8s regatta was held at the Wairau Rowing club on Saturday to signify the start of the local rowing season.

Ten teams contested some tight racing with three weeks of on water training being all the practise the non-rowers had to sort out their timing and team work.

Overall title winners were PGG Wrightson Omaka Jets who became the first team to win both the ERG night challenge

and the on water event.

Team spokesman Simon Cooke says the strong Powered Electrics team fought hard and were evenly matched for the first half of the race until the PGG Wrightson team were able to pull away to win by a length at the line.

The Wairau Rowing club are keen to have more entries from local business next year in what is a prestigious event on the local sporting calendar.
