By Celeste Lodewyk Blenheim’s Anzac Day crowd on Monday was the largest ever, says Marlborough RSA president Geoff Stobie. This year’s crowd attendance was much higher than last year, strengthening Mr Stobie’s belief that Anzac Day had become family established. “There are a lot more families and young people attending Anzac Day remembrance services which is fantastic to see, Blenheim’s crowd just exceeded all our expectations. “Youngsters are actively asking questions and have a good understanding of Anzac Day’s history, this is particularly pleasing to see,” he said. Anzac Day began in Marlborough with a dawn parade in Picton which was followed by parades and services in Seddon, Renwick, Spring Creek, Havelock, Rai Valley, Kaikoura and Blenheim. Luckily for Marlborough, the looming dark weather clouds held off until later that afternoon allowing the public to enjoy the services. “We were lucky with the weather and in general I think we had a hugely successful day,” Mr Stobie said. “The singing by Christianna Stewart was magnificent and Lily Sullivan did a wonderful scripture reading at Blenheim, all the services were well received and supported.”

Above: Remembrance services began in Renwick with a street march. Right: Marlborough RSA President Geoff Stobie who spoke during Anzac Day services on Monday says the presence of youth and families increases every year.

This year’s Marlborough Poppy Appeal has also been a resounding success, and although the final count is yet to be announced it is already looking set to beat last year. “All funds raised in Marlborough stay in

Do we want it?

Marlborough, so looking at the number of collections made over the last few months, it is mind boggling to see how much support has been shown locally, so I wish to extend a big thankyou to the people of Marlborough,” he said.

New World within rights - owner By Les Whiteside and Damian George Easter Sunday trading at Blenheim New World was like a normal Sunday, New World owner Mark Elkington says. Mark says the supermarket decided to break tradition and open its doors on the public holiday to give out-of-town people a chance to stock up on groceries if they needed, but he was not breaking the law. He told The Sun on Sunday non-essential departments such as liquor, seafood and butchery serveover, and florist were cordoned off to comply with Labour regulations. However, the public were not stopped from buying items from those areas if they believed it was necessary, with the exception of alcohol. Mark says several local restaurants and stall holders from the Classic Fighters Airshow at Omaka came in to the supermarket on Sunday to replenish their stocks. He says the bakery was particularly busy and had nearly been cleaned out by early afternoon. Local shopper Kim Ander-

Picton fire service were called to a Waikawa house yesterday afternoon to secure a roof which had blown off for a second time following more strong winds in the area. A spokesperson for the fire service said the wind had again got under the roof which was initially lifted at 10am yesterday after a twister swept through Picton. The fire service were being called out to the property when The Sun called just after 2.30pm. The spokesperson said later it was raining heavily and the wind was “blowing its guts out”. Picton volunteer firefighters had also helped to secure temporary cover after the first incident. Picton and the Marlborough Sounds had been buffeted by winds and rain overnight. Port Marlborough’s monitors at Shakespeare Bay and Waitohi Wharf measured gusts of 42 and 48.7 knots respectively overnight. Both interisland ferry companies said ferry crossing of the Cook Strait had not been affected.

Move to free up hospital parking By Damian George A proposal to free up parking space at Wairau Hospital is expected to be approved within days, the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board [NMDHB] said last Wednesday. NMDHB communications coordinator Susannah Findlay says the board has received many complaints about congested parking in the area and is well aware of the problem. “There is a proposal being developed to address the issue,” she told The Sun on Wednesday. “It’s just about finished and we will hopefully be submitting that to the ELT [executive leadership team] in the next couple of days, and we anticipate a very quick turnaround from them.”

Mrs Findlay says the board is looking at re-designating staff car parking across the rest of the hospital campus to create more space for parking. “That’s going to relieve the pressure on the main public carpark and the front of the hospital, and will ensure there is sufficient capacity for the public. “There is an issue and we want to do something as quickly as possible.” Currently, vehicles are being forced to park off-road at the hospital site, with many parking under trees and on grass areas. Mrs Findlay says, with the change in layout at the hospital recently, it is becoming apparent the “overflow” parking area would be better off being used full-time by public vehicles.

MARLBOROUGH STADIUM TRUST

Local talent and an exciting musical line-up, stirred in with a splash of humour is what the audience can expect at next month’s Music Festival, hosted by the Bible Society Action Group at the Wesley Centre.

Hunt for NZ’s Oldest ‘Telly’ A nationwide search is on to find the oldest working television in New Zealand. Broadcasting Minister Jonathan Coleman launched the ‘Oldest Telly’ Competition last Wednesday, as part of a Going Digital campaign to raise awareness of the looming switchover to digital television. The winning entry will be converted to digital TV next month ahead of the first switchover in Hawke’s Bay and West Coast in September 2012. “Digital has changed the way we watch TV, with better reception and sound quality, as well as more channels and features such as onscreen TV

guides,” Dr Coleman says. “It will be great if we can unearth some examples of the earliest televisions and make them digital-ready to show viewers that you don’t need a new TV to receive digital television.” Dr Coleman says televisions as old as those which broadcast the first moon landing in 1969 or athlete Dick Tayler’s 10,000 metre victory at the 1974 Commonwealth Games can be converted. Information about switching to digital TV, and the Oldest Telly competition, is available from www.goingdigital.co.nz or the free-phone helpline, 0800 838 800.

High blanket fail rate By Celeste Lodewyk Matt Flight of Betta Electrical in Blenheim says he was “shocked” by the fail rate of electric blankets that have been brought into the store for testing. “Out of the first 60 blankets we had come in, one in five electric blankets failed our testing. That’s a shocking ratio which proves why it is important to have them tested regardless of its age,” he says. In response to recent reports of electric blankets catching fire, Betta Electrical has had large numbers of people bringing in their blankets for testing. “I think it has given people a wake up call regarding the safety of electric blankets. “Most faults are hidden from the user and can be caused by elements being bunched by movement of the user as well as broken and exposed wires,” Matt says. Staff use a three-step testing system. 1) Visual; looking for marks, exposed elements and bunching of wires.

New road signs for Picton Clear new road signs which direct traffic to the ferry check-in points and to Picton’s town centre are being erected, the result of collaboration between community and business interests. The Picton Business Group has been campaigning for better directions so visitors could more easily locate the town’s shopping area and its facilities and Picton’s tourist attractions. The Marlborough District Council’s recent Growth and Development Strategy project confirmed the need for improvements. The cost of the 16 signs has been shared between the Council, NZTA, Port Marlborough and the two ferry services, Bluebridge and the Interislander. “The important thing is that the designers have been able to simplify and streamline the content of the existing signs so it should be much easier to read them – and for visitors to find their way around,” said Mayor Alistair Sowman. “I look forward to an upgrade of some of the older town signs before too much longer.” Ideas about how the new signs should look emerged from the work the District Council has done with Urbanism+ as part of the growth strategy for Picton. A working group including representatives from Destination Marlborough, Port Marlborough, Interislander, Picton Business Group, Marlborough Chamber of Commerce, Picton’s Rugby World Cup organising committee and Marlborough Roads then worked with RTL Signs to produce the final design.

Kim and the team are pleased to introduce

Sorayah Fransen to the salon.

If bunching has occurred hot spots are created and the blanket can overheat and catch on fire. 2) Portable Applicance Test; checking the continuity of wires. 3) Multimeter Test; checking that the elements and electrical circuit are working correctly. If the blanket passes all three steps, it receives a sticker which is signed off by the service technician and given an electrical number. If the blanket fails no sticker is issued and the owner is advised that it is unsafe to be used. “The worst cases have been where the cord was broken and the wires were exposed. “The other had bunched elements caused by movement as well as a broken wire inside. This was the most dangerous case we have seen yet,” he says. Betta Electrical in Blenheim is urging people to have their blankets tested before using them this winter, and are offering a reduced testing rate of $10 per blanket.

Be careful not to mock

No to dictators

Dear Ed, I was interested to read Tony Girling’s letter of March 30. It is easy to mock Christianity from a position of material security and arrogant self-belief, so did the religious leaders to Jesus as He hung on the cross paying the penalty for mankind’s transgressions. The bible has 300 prophecies concerning Jesus, all but a handful have been fulfilled so His return is imminent. He died

Dear Editor In regard to the Mayor’s reply to Derek Bate in your Monday 23rd issue. Being a democracy it is not the right of the Mayor and councillors to make decisions on issues apart from providing normal core services. They were elected to do what the people decide. It is the responsibility of councillors to be good stewards of the community and to make issues widely known to make submissions to the council (this is not expensive) and of those who respond, act on the majority. This has not been happening in the past! We are under democracy, not dictatorship. Yours sincerely Ken Lawrence, Secretary Marlborough Concerned Citizens Inc.

as a sacrifice, rose from the dead and returned to heaven. To all who believe in Him and invite Him into their lives, He offers reconciliation with God and eternal life. He is coming back as Judge. We have the choice - accept or reject. The bible says ‘the fool has said in his heart there is no God! God invites us to consider the reality of our existence’ - Romans 1, v 20-22. Peter Hester

Shoes & Accessories Softwaves boots from Portugal promise good looks, quality and comfort around the clock.

No speed limit? Dear Ed, Could someone in authority please inform the people of Blenheim when the 30km restriction was discontinued

Sloppy parking

That’s MY paper mate! I guess when you’ve gotta read, you’ve gotta read. Great paper, great local news, and well laid out too. Keep it up! Dude, That’s My Sun!

Dear Ed, For a hundred years motorists parked correctly, on the correct side of the road and did not park for hours across the footpath. Perhaps full licence should not be issued until this basic discipline is learned and the drivers get the use of their legs back again. I drove for 75years, no tickets, no accidents (some luck involved). “Grandpa”

Born under a wandering star There is nothing stopping 82-year-old woman Joan Bottom as she prepares for another worldwide adventure, as Celeste Lodewyk finds out. When walking through the streets of Blenheim, it is not uncommon for people to stop local woman Joan Bottom to ask; “Where have you just got back from and where are you planning to travel to next”. In fact most people would be tempted to ask the sprightly 82-year-old to share a story from her many travels and achievements throughout the years, because from the twinkle in her eye and unbroken smile on her lips she comes across as a woman with many tales to tell. “Many people have come to know me as a traveller, I guess you could say I was born under a wandering star,” she smiles. You may be imagining a woman of Joan’s age travelling the world by tour bus, but in fact she does quite the opposite. During her trip to Canada, America, England and China last year, Joan decided to break away from her travel group and walk the Great Wall of China alone. Walking over 2000m over uneven steps, Joan says the 40 degree heat and 90 percent humidity was nothing compared to the breathtaking views and thrill of the experience. “It was incredible, especially when people I didn’t know came up to me afterwards

with their thumbs up to congratulate me,” she says. Joan’s travels have taken her right around the globe, but she insists that she isn’t ready to stop yet. “I have travelled to most places but I haven’t visited Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Vietnam or Cambodia so they are definitely on my list to go see,” she says. During the past four-years Joan has travelled with the Friendship Force, an organisation aimed at fostering peace and understanding throughout the world by means of personal contacts and shared experiences through home hosting. Joan is leaving tomorrow for her fourth trip with Friendship Force travelling through South America. “I am thinking about continuing on alone after the trip ends to visit Italy and Greece, but we will see where the wind takes me,” she laughs. To keep herself fit for her many adventures Joan regularly attends Curves gym three times a week and recently received a certificate for 500 visits. “I could have visited the gym more but I am away so often. Keeping active has ena-

bled me to carry on travelling into my 80’s, I was even playing hockey right up until I was 54-years-old,” she adds with a grin. When Joan is home she is rarely idle. Most days are pre-organised with her silversmith classes learning to make pieces of jewellery which she enters into national competitions, attending the Rock and Mineral Club and of course planning for her next big adventure. “Life is for living and enjoying so I laugh a lot, talk a lot, work hard and make the most out of every day. “I am coming up 83-years of age but I believe that no matter how old you are you should strive to take up a new challenge,” she says smiling.

ments during the first year. A student explains; “We learn so much through placements, and it is easier to put theory into practice as I can experience what I have learnt in class.” Our students comment that the study environment and the focus on collaborative learning appeals. As one student describes; “The tutors really care, we have more individual time due to the smaller class sizes and we are so supported in our learning.” The two qualifications offered at Rangi Ruru Early Childhood College are a one-year Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care, incorporating the New Zealand Certificate in Nanny Education, and a three-year Di-

ploma of Teaching (ECE). Students who successfully complete the one-year qualification can apply to staircase into Year 2 of the teaching diploma.

Courses We offer the Diploma of Art and Creativity (Honours) and an Advanced Diploma of Art and Creativity. The Diploma of Art and Creativity (Honours) is a two and a half year full time course or a five year part time course.

The Advanced Diploma is a studio based intensive that embraces all media and focuses on materials and processes, where the practice is the theory.

If you have f lu-like symptoms, stay at home until essentially well as it is sneezing and coughing that spreads the virus. This is usually around three to four days after symptoms start, but may be up to a week. Here is some advice from the Ministry of Health of what to do if you have the flu. • Stay home and let a relative or friend know if you are at home alone. Rest in a separate room that has good ventilation and is away from other members of the household. • Don’t share anything that may spread flu. • Drink small amounts of fluids often and keep your mouth clean and moist by cleaning your teeth regularly. • Take medication that relieve pain and fever, eg, paracetamol or ibuprofen. (Aspirin-type medications should not be used for children and young people.)

lips, nose and surrounding skin from drying out and cracking.

If you don’t feel like eating or drinking: • Try light fluid-type nutritional snacks such as chicken soup or perhaps yoghurt but don’t worry if you can’t handle food, keep taking fluids, try an ice block or jelly.

Duckshooting Season Opening day 7th May

Be safe with shotguns Avoid low shots to protect other hunters, both from direct shots and ricochets. Shotguns should be ‘broken’ and unloaded when moving over rough country and fence lines, and when moving in and out of vehicles.

Remember that shotguns are lethal at short range. Even at more than 100 metres, some shotgun pellets can cause serious harm, for example to eyes.

Duck L’Orange (serves 2) Ingredients:

Hunters should signal any change of position to other hunters by word or gesture. Shotgun blasts are very loud and can cause hearing damage, so an increasing number of hunters wear hearing protection.

Poppy Thai chefs Santi Munart and Theera Phuchangok share a love of fine food.

Thai cuisine offers some of the most vibrant and delicious flavours to be found in the world of food, and luckily for Blenheim we have the opportunity to experience Thai dining at its best. Poppy Thai Restaurant, located at the corner of Scott and Kinross Streets originated from a food passionate family and has been in Blenheim for nearly ten years. Bringing innovative and dynamic dishes to its tables, Poppy Thai boasts of two highly regarded and experienced chefs, Santi Munart and Theera Phuchangok. Both men share one thing in common, their love for food. Theera spent many years working for a five-star hotel in Thailand and before bringing his knowledge and chef skills to the Poppy Thai business.

Protect yourself and your baby Getting the seasonal influenza vaccination is an important way to protect against the common strains of influenza that are likely to be circulating this year. Talk with your midwife or doctor about getting a seasonal influenza vaccination. Influenza immunisation for pregnant women has clear benefits for both mother and baby. Mothers who receive the influenza vaccine while pregnant are able to pass protection on to their baby. The vaccine offers protection to infants who would normally be too young (under six months) to receive immunisation individually.

LAING: Tim, Louise and Ashka would like to announce the safe arrival of their second baby girl, Morgan (8lb 11oz) on April 20th 2011 at 8.40pm. Special thanks to Shona Wills and all of the staff in Maternity.

PLEASE NOTE Wairau Hospital Maternity Ward visiting hours are: DAILY at 10am - 12pm and 4pm - 7pm

Order your baby photos at the Sun office: 72 High Street, Blenheim

What should I do if I get sick? If you get sick with influenza-like symptoms, stay home, stay away from others, and call your midwife or doctor right away. If needed, he or she may prescribe an antiviral medicine that treats influenza. Have someone check in with you often if you are feeling ill. This is always a good idea. How should I feed my baby if I am sick? If you can, breastfeed. Breast milk is the perfect food for your baby. There are many ways that breastfeeding and breast milk helps to protect your baby’s health. Protect yourself and your unborn child; speak to your midwife or doctor today about getting the seasonal influenza vaccine. For more information visit www.moh.co.nz

The boys are from Room 2, a special education unit for students with learning difficulties. With two planned class trips fast approaching, the boys have already begun working to earn their money by collecting sheep pellets and selling them by the bag, and are actively looking for more work.

HEARING THERAPY SERVICES

Q – “What does it mean in Hebrews 4:13 when it says that Jesus is, “him with whom we have to do”? (CS – Blenheim)

The passage in total reads, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart; Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Many of the fine folks of Blenheim don’t want anything “to do” with God or Jesus or the Bible. Unfortunately for them, the Bible says that one day all men will “have to do” with God Almighty – he will not be ignored. This is a case were context is vital to understanding and answering the question. Verse 11 speaks of our faithfulness as Christians – we should be laboring to enter our eternal rest or heaven. This is not speaking about working for our salvation, but working for Christ because we are saved. Arriving in heaven with God being able to say to us, “Well done thou good and faithful servant…” Verse 12 mentions the power of the Bible and its ability to discern the true heart motives behind our works. The works of all true believers will one day be examined (I Cor. 3:13) – rewards will be granted for faithfulness and works humbly done with the right motive. The works of all unbelievers will also be examined at the Great White Throne judgment – works can not keep you out of hell, but they will be used to determine the degree of punishment in eternity. (Rev. 20:10-15) Verse 13 speaks of the eyes of Christ that are like a flame of fire (Rev. 19:12) that can instantly see through all the pretense and falsehood of man. Our heart and all our actions will be completely open and exposed before the eyes of our Saviour before whom we must all stand – this is the sense of the phrase you ask about. Knowing that we must all stand before Christ, 1) if you are not saved, be smart and trust in Jesus today as your Saviour; if you are saved, serve Christ faithfully as “every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” (Rom. 14:12)

Hockey player numbers surging By Damian George A proposed six-a-side secondary school hockey competition in Marlborough could become a full 11-a-side tournament if the surge in player numbers continues. Hockey Marlborough development officer Brent Edwards says there has been a “massive increase” in interest from local players ahead of the 2011 season starting next month, and the 11-a-side mixed tournament is a real possibility. “The early indications are that we might have the numbers to do that,” he says. “We have 35 players at the moment, which is enough for five six-a-side teams, but we would ideally like to get that number to 50 or 60 so we can have four full teams.” The local competition will mostly feature players from Marlborough Boys’ College, Marlborough Girls’ College and Queen Charlotte College. Junior numbers are also up significantly from last year, with

Highlanders capable of going all the way The Highlanders unlikely run in the Super 15 rugby compet it ion was widely expected to end on Saturday, when they came up against a red-hot Crusaders outfit in Nelson. The implications of an inevitable loss for the men from the deep south centred around what impact it would have on their season, and whether they were able to finish close enough to the Crusaders juggernaut to gain a bonus point. But what unfolded was more than Otago rugby fans could have expected. The run didn’t end; it gathered momentum. So much so that it has now

catapulted the Highlanders from their ‘surprise package making a quick start out of the blocks’ status to one of ‘genuine title contender’. That might sound a bit like the mindset of an excited fan getting carried away with a monumental victory, but this achievement confirms beyond doubt the Highlanders are the real deal. Until now, they had not beaten a side ranked higher than eighth - the Hurricanes, Chiefs, Bulls, Cheetahs, Brumbies and Rebels among their victims. Some would say the Crusaders were depleted. Those people would do well to remember the

Highlanders were without Ji m my Cowa n, Ad a m Thompson, Alando Soaoki, Kade Poki and Shaun Treeby. The key is the way the Highlanders are winning: they have “out-passioned” teams, blown the opposition off the ball at the ruck, defended like their lives depend on it, and attacked with enterprise and confidence. That they were able to do all those things against the might of the Crusaders puts them firmly in title contention in 2011.

Airshow delivers despite weather

Sir Peter Jackson took a break from filming his Lord of the Rings, to attend the 10th anniversary of the Classic Fighters Airshow in Blenheim over Easter. The theme for this year’s three-day show was “V for Victory”, symbolised by English Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s victory sign from WW2. Sir Peter is a regular spectator and occasionally gets more involved in the theatrics at the fundraiser for the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. This year, he has once again been very generous, putting his private collection of WW1 aircraft on display at the airshow and the centre’s museum. Sir Peter Jackson’s collection is considered by aviation enthusiasts to be one of the best in the world. The airshow is held every second year and sees replica and original aircraft from WW1 and WW2 take to the skies during the festival. This year’s show saw two Spitfires and a rare Focke-Wulf Fw190 from WW2 take part. A replica 1916 Albatross, (pictured far left) from WW1, was the oldest seen at this year’s show. The show attracts huge crowds over Easter. The 2009 event attracted 35,000 people and this year, with the weather proving to be a dampener, organisers expected numbers to be slightly down.
