Young leaders

for Today Saturday 6-16 Outlook Chance morning shower

By Bill McElhinney “These may be the next generation of our leaders,” Mayor John Leggett said as he presented Civic Awards to four young Marlburians on Friday evening.

The awards, set up on the initiative of the Marlborough District Council’s Youth Council, were presented to Martinett Gouws, Joshua Leota, Shannon McLean and Luke Paul.

“These young people have been prepared to step out of their comfort zone and make a difference,” John said.

The awards were a positive way for the council to support and encourage young people who were making a significant contribution to our community, John said.

“It’s inspiring to read the endorsements from the various groups and organisations where these young people give their time and energy, and it’s reassuring to see teenagers of such a high calibre continuing to emerge from our region.”

TWICE WEEKLY

Four honoured with Civic Awards Continued from page 1.

The award recipients: Martinett Gouws is in her third year of remarkable service to her community. Her impressive list of projects indicates this young woman has established strong leadership credentials already.

Her fundraising and event planning as president of the

Rai Valley Leo Club has already been recognised by that organisation. She has twice won her Rai Valley Area School’s Citizen Award and last year she was a recipient of a Trustpower award for Youth Community Spirit.

Being a volunteer for the Picton Fire Brigade and at Walnut Ranch, where she teaches

children to ride horses, has also been part of Martinett’s contribution to the community.

This year Martinett has been a part-time Youth Worker for her church and next year she plans to begin her vet studies.

She is worthy of acknowledgement with her strong sense of community spirit evident in all she does.

Joshua Leota is a dancer and emerging leader in our Pasifika community. He’s both a performer and choreographer for hip hop classes offered through the Breakthrough Church.

His performance skills and creativity has been seen at a large number of local events, from Christmas in the Park to

the Youth Trust’s Beachfest and Springfest.

Joshua has been actively involved as a helper, facilitator, leader, performer and MC at a range of other events, including the Hope Walk, Omega Family Day and Marlborough Polyfest.

Joshua has also been an academic mentor for Pacif-

ic Power Up, working with primary school children to help them with schoolwork and confidence. He is also a Youth Leader for Generation Omega Youth Group, running weekly youth nights. Joshua is a talented and caring young man with a strong commitment to peers and community.

Shannon McLean doesn’t hold back from getting involved; while at Marlborough Girls’, she was a member of our Youth Council, on the college Student Council.

She belonged to the Leo Club and is a leading light in the college Climate Youth Action team. Shannon has

represented Marlborough at national events like the Climate Change Conference, and she’s part of a small group who set up Invest in Yourself, creating a wall planner tailored to the needs of our local students.

Given her wide experience, Shannon is a valued member

of Volunteer Marlborough, part of its programme aiming to get more local young people on to non-profit boards.

Shannon is also caring of her peers. She was part of the Big Sister mentor programme and she also shaved her head in support of leukaemia and cancer awareness.

Luke Paul has been a driving force behind Seddon’s new bike pump track. He has attended many planning meetings with council and made submissions to community meetings as well as Council’s Long Term Plan hearings.

He has shown strong leadership during this process, all the while taking young people with him.

He is a member of the Seddon Youth Group and on the Marlborough Youth Trust MYTAG group, ensuring a strong youth voice, especially for rural youngsters.

Luke has done a lot of hard work for Seddon including gardening, sweeping and painting the Anzac memorial. He also took a leadership role in the “pick up litter in Seddon”

project, resulting in greater community pride and improving generational relationships.

Luke has also volunteered for the local fire brigade.

Luke’s greatest contribution is in being a leading voice for Seddon’s young people, working through the Youth Group to support and mentor his peers, and being a positive role model.

Mayoral candidates’ important issues “What are the two most important issues you would like to address if you were elected Mayor?”

By Bill McElhinney The deadline is looming for local body elections, where we decide who represents us on local and regional councils and health boards for the next three years.

Voting closes at 12pm on Saturday. Voting papers can be dropped at a ballot box at the Marlborough District Council office in Seymour Street or the Picton Library and Service Centre.

Early return rates are a bit lower in Marlborough than they were in 2016.

However, early returns don’t determine the final

turnout - in 2016 the early returns for New Zealand were lower than in 2010 and 2013, but the final turnout figure was higher.

Election results will be online from Saturday afternoon. Progress results will be available from 2pm but results could change because not all ordinary votes will have been counted.

Official results are released after all ordinary and special votes are counted and will be released on October 17.

These results are final.

We asked the three Marlborough mayoral candidates:

Mayoral candidate Jamie Arbuckle: The first two priorities for me as Mayor will be the implementation of public speaking time before every Council Committee meeting, so that ratepayers can raise numerous issues and ideas directly with my team of Councillors - their elected representatives.

We have heard so many good ideas during this election campaign, eg: for Blenheim’s CBD; we shouldn’t have to wait once a year to hear from you through the Annual Plan process.

Infrastructure is at crisis point. We need to go back to the core business of council - infrastructure and the maintaining of roads.

For housing development we need to get water, stormwater and sewerage into the ground and operational to enable new housing. We need to fix the pot holes and future proof Marlborough’s roading network.

Mayoral candidate Rick Ireland: My objective has always been stopping the steady rate increases. Rates are continually forced up by ongoing borrowing which is predicted to reach $255 million in three years.

Many people on fixed incomes or just starting out are starting to get hurt.

The Council’s previous income was about $140 million and, if I’m elected, that’s what it will receive next year. The Council will simply have to live within this budget just like everybody else.

People must be allowed to enjoy full use of their properties as much as possible with the least compliance cost. The rural community, which is the financial backbone of our district, shouldn’t be unfairly penalised to satisfy an unreasonable ideological objective.

If we live as we can afford, we have a bright and happy future.

Authorised by John Leggett, 29 Percy Street, Blenheim

Jacqui Botman casts her vote at the Marlborough District Council on Tuesday. Votes can be cast at the council until midday Saturday October 12.

Mayoral candidate John Leggett: Continuity - Council has achieved an exceptional amount in the past three years under my leadership, including: • Response and recovery following the Kaikoura Earthquake • Delivering safe drinking water supply for residents of Seddon and Picton; work also underway for Renwick • Upgrade of Picton’s sewerage system • New Picton library • Major sewer and stormwater repairs in Blenheim • Extensive consultations on the proposed Marlborough Environment Plan.

With some new faces at the Council table this year, my continuity of Mayoral leadership will ensure that Council stays on track with decision-making that remains informed, impartial and transparent – made collectively for the benefit of our region and its people – not for political ambitions or personal agendas.

Vibrant and sustainable progress - We live in a fantastic region, and I aim to proudly continue making it an even better place to live, work, invest, and visit; balancing economic growth with improved social wellbeing and an enhanced environment.

Brothers Sam (winemaker) and Hamish Rose (viticulturist) toast their New World Wine Awards Champion sauvignon blanc.

Gold medal wine a family affair

“I mean business” Wairau River a New World winner

By Bill McElhinney A pioneering Marlborough wine growing family has produced the top sauvignon blanc at the 2019 New World Wine Awards.

Brothers Sam and Hamish Rose have combined their talents with Nick Entwhistle to produce Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc 2019, which has won the Champion Sauvignon at the Awards.

The wine comes from the Rose Family Estate vineyards located in the Wairau Valley, traditionally an area renowned for producing exceptional sauvignon blanc.

Winemakers Sam and Nick and viticulturalist Hamish say the 2019 growing season and harvest contributed to the wine’s

outstanding quality, and they are extremely proud of what they have produced.

The Rose family have a long and proud pioneering history in the Marlborough region, with Phil and Chris Rose establishing their first vineyards on the banks of the Wairau River in 1978.

Today, all five Rose children are deeply connected to Marlborough and, along with their partners, are involved in the family wine business.

“Working in the family business is extremely satisfying,” Sam says.

“As a family we get on incredibly well together and all have various roles to play in the company.

“From a quality perspective it’s exciting to be working with fruit from mature vines that I remember planting and we are lucky we have such a long history to draw on which gives us a deep understanding of our vineyards.”

The New World Awards attracted 1274 entries from 176 wineries from New Zealand and overseas.

The Awards were judged by a panel of 17 independent wine experts, headed by returning chair of judges, Jim Harré.

Entries were evaluated using the same 100-point scale as other wine competitions worldwide, which benchmarks entries against what a perfect wine should be like.

This ensures the Top 50 Gold medal winners are the best example of their type and a Gold medal wine in the New World Wine Awards is held to the same standard as any other Gold medal wine.

The only difference with this competition is that accessibility and affordability of the wines are key criteria for entry. All wines entered must retail for $25 or less a bottle and at least 4000 bottles must be available for sale, or 2000 bottles for emerging varietals.

Sewing, sharing and celebrating!

By Bill McElhinney There were six of them, keen Picton quilters who got together informally in 1994.

Twentyfive years later, four of them are still quilting together.

Marcella Sowden, Carol Hall, Yvonne Roberts and Rosalie Matthews will join the other Picton quilters for their Silver Celebration exhibition this weekend.

The Silver Celebration exhibition is on from Friday to Sunday at the Queen Charlotte College Hall from 10am - 4.30pm. Entry is just $5, including refreshments, demonstrations, raffles and a mini market.

The group that first met informally in 1994 now has 36 members from Picton, Blenheim, Ward and the Marlborough Sounds, meeting on the second Wednesday of every month in the Picton Union Parish Church.

An informal group within Picton quilters, the Rovers, meets during the day on the first and third Monday of the month at a member’s home.

“We’ve seen a few come and go, but the people who were there when I started are still there,” quilter Lynne Mark, who joined the group in 1996, says.

The group donates many of their quilts to charities and people in need, Lynne says.

“We made a lot for people affected by the Kaikoura earthquake, and the Ward earthquake, and in 2011 we sent two or three hundred quilts down to

Christchurch.

“When they opened the new Alzheimer’s day care centre up at Witherlea we made a quilt about what Alzheimer’s meant to us.”

The group also makes many baby quilts for incubated newborns at Wairau Hospital and families in Picton that were doing it tough.

They also liked to make old

and sentimental fabric into new quilts.

“Sometimes mums pass away and they’ve been sewers and they’ve got bags of fabric and things, like a lot of us do,” Lynne says.

About twice a year a local or national tutor is invited to teach a class.

“These are always inspiring as we learn new techniques and

ideas,” Lynne says.

“Most members also look forward to the annual retreat weekends in March and June, where we spend time together sharing ideas and sewing with like-minded colleagues.

“We enjoy being creative and sharing with others, and our policy is to always have quilts made and ready to send to those in need.”

Wednesday

September: Cool and wet, then warm, dry and windy September was a month of two distinct halves as far as weather went, Marlborough Research Centre scientists, Rob Agnew, says “The first two weeks were cool, wet and relatively calm, whereas the latter two weeks were warmer, dry and fairly windy,” Rob says.

The mean temperature over the first two weeks of September was well below average, whereas the mean temperature over the latter half of the month was much warmer.

The final two days of September were very warm with maximum temperatures 3-4°C above average and minimum

temperatures 7-8°C above average.

The coldest day was September 11, with a minimum temperatures of +1.2°C and grass minimum temperature of –3.3°C. The warmest days were September 28 and 29, both of which recorded maximum air temper-

atures of 20.6°C. While last month was a sunny month, it didn’t set any records.

September 2018 was a lot sunnier, as was August 2019.

Almost the entire month’s rainfall fell between September 1 and 15.

The only rain from September 16 to 30 was 0.2 mm on the 23rd.

Sun readers have their say... with the WORD on the Street.

Q: Do you think the voting age should be lowered to 16?

Cameron Donald Blenheim It depends on how mature the 16-year-old is. But I guess if you’re old enough to drive, you’re old enough to vote.

Sebastain Krappe California I’m over here for the season training with the Wairau Rowing Club. No, 16-yearolds shouldn’t get the vote.

They don’t know enough at that age to make an informed decision.

Will Hammond Blenheim No, you shouldn’t get to vote at 16. You won’t have done enough research to make good decisions.

Felicity Spencer Blenheim No. I think it’s great to encourage young people (at any age) to discuss and influence local and national issues/politics, but 18 is a better age to make and be accountable for your decisions.

Rochelle Davies Blenheim I personally feel the voting age should stay at 18. I don’t think teens that young understand politics and local government well enough.

Shaloe Lammas Blenheim No, at 16 there’s still so much left to learn and life to live. I first voted when I was 20 because that’s when I started following politics, whereas at 18 I wasn’t really interested and couldn’t make an informed decision.

Dear Ed, To the texter who bemoaned that most of the cost of a truck bypass would be borne by ratepayers, I’m sure he/she would find - since its state highway - government would pay.

The Marlborough District Council

should be a strong lobby force on the need, instead being under weak leadership.

What’s the story with vaping?

Dear Ed, I would like to know what is the policy at the Blenheim Countdown Supermarket on smoking in the store?

If smoking is banned, does that also cover vaping?

Last Wednesday as we did our shopping there was a woman walking around the vegetable

area vaping, leaving behind a sweet, sickly smell.

This is not the first instance we have encountered of people vaping in the store.

I would like to know what the management policy is on this matter.

Kiwi P Blenheim

Countdown responds.

Hi Kiwi P, Last year we updated our smoking and vaping policy for our team while they’re at work, however vaping isn’t currently included in the Smokefree Environments Act so it’s up to individual businesses to have their own policies on this.

Most of our customers are really respectful of other shoppers and don’t vape when they’re out and about doing their shopping, but we agree

that it needs to be made clearer.

We’ll b e u p d a t i ng our in-store policies to ensure that customers know they’ll need to vape outside the store.

If you see someone vaping while they’re shopping in the meantime, feel free to tell a member of our team and we’ll politely let them know.

Thanks again, Liz Nelson, Countdown Blenheim store manager

By Celeste Alexander The magic and mystique of a masquerade ball will be enjoyed by 200 guests attending this weekend’s Dazzle Marlborough fundraising event at Wither Hills Winery.

The success of Dazzle Marlborough stems from the collaboration of local, community-minded people and businesses, who together create a distinctive and entertaining event. The evening is a celebration of the Marlborough region top local chefs serve locally inspired dishes matched with superb Marlborough wine.

What’s more, the event raises money for the

Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough programmes.

Now in its fourth year Dazzle Marlborough has rapidly grown into an iconic Marlborough event and is so popular, that this year tickets sold out within one week.

To give you an idea of just how successful this event is; last year’s Dazzle Marlborough was enjoyed by 220 guests and together with over 100 contributing businesses, an excess of $75,000 was raised for the Graeme Dingle Foundation.

For those who have missed out on tickets, you can still support this event by bidding on silent auction

items which are available to anyone online.

There are some incredible items which have been provided thanks to the generosity of supporting businesses.

These include everything from family experience packages and ski vouchers, through to artwork, kilos of cherries, strawberries and a Stihl chainsaw.

There’s even a Hydralift Crane voucher, a toy ride-on tractor and a model grape harvester up for grabs.

All of the silent auction items are ready and waiting for your bids now, simply visit https://dinglefoundation.org.nz/dazzle-marlborough-auction-items/

Young artist launches first exhibition

Artist Nicholas Males with part of his exhibition, Please, No Circulars, on display now at the High Street Art Gallery.

By Bill McElhinney Young artist Nicholas Males has returned from his studies to hold his first exhibition in his home town.

Nicholas grew up in Blenheim and studied at Marlborough Boys’ College. “I spent more time on art than I did on other studies,� he says. “And I was inspired by my art teachers Debbie Cave-Higgins and Sudhir Duppati.�

Nicholas has completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours

at Massey University, and has come home to stage his first solo exhibition, Please, No Circulars, at the Marlborough Art Society’s High Street Gallery.

Deborah Cave-Higgins opened the exhibition on Tuesday and it runs until October 13.

It features contemporary art, ink on paper hand-made prints with floor installation and extended text.

It’s also political – a statement about the distressing state of the housing market in New Zealand,

S

homelessness and not belonging.

Nicholas describes himself as a trans-disciplinary artist who works predominantly across sculpture, painting and print making.

He also deals mostly with topical political issues and enjoys exploring different methods for developing political art.

Nicholas plans to do a Masters in Fine Arts degree at the Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland before heading overseas to further his experience.

Museum receive’s ‘Tui’ touch Just over one year ago, a vehicle crashed into the Renwick Museum’s frontage and destroyed an iconic bullock and dray display.

As devastated as they were to see the damage, managers Ray and Sandra Welburn say there have since been some exciting new developments taking place. This included commissioning local artist, Tui Johnson, to paint a mural on the front and side of the museum, as Celeste Alexander finds out.

As Tui gently glides her paint brush back and forth, combining different tones of grey into the beginnings of a black and white landscape scene, she talks about how proud she is to be part of the museum’s story going forward.

“You can tell how important the history of Renwick is to the community,” she says.

“Since I’ve started painting I’ve had lots of people stop and look at what’s going on and the feedback has been good so far.”

Tui is a name that is becoming well known in Marlborough for her art, graphic design and murals. The most recent mural was unveiled at Rapaura School this month.

While she wasn’t born and raised in Marlborough, it’s a region which captured her attention during her travels.

“I ended up in Marlborough purely by accident. I was on holiday and in a bit of a transient phase when I ended up staying a night on my way through to Wellington.

“I said to myself ‘I could see myself here’, and ended up making it my home,” she says.

Two years on Tui has continued to build her career in the arts in Marlborough which comes as no surprise as most of her childhood was spent creating.

“Both my parents are artists so it has always been a big part of my life,” she says.

Tui kicked off her career with a role as a newspaper graphic designer at the Southland Times at the age of 18 before going on to complete a Diploma in Visual Communication

at the Design and Arts College of New Zealand.

Today, Tui still believes that the ‘old fashioned’ pen to paper approach to her art is where her best ideas form.

And this was exactly how she designed the mural for the Renwick Museum.

Tui was asked to design a mural that fit in with Renwick’s history.

She came up with a scene depicting the Wairau in the background and a large portrait of Dr Thomas Renwick, the founder of the town which today bears his name.

She presented a sketched drawing to museum managers Ray and Sandra Welburn who immediately loved it.

“I’m really excited to be painting this mural… It’s a bit of an honour really.”

Since Tui picked up her brushes and began work on the museum’s frontage there has been plenty of interest shown by the public, Ray says.

“The community seems to be really excited about this. Fancy this in little old Renwick,” he laughs. “It’s making people think about the town and show more interest in the museum which is exactly what we want.”

Once the front has been completed Tui will begin work on the side of the building.

Students from Renwick School will

have a hand in designing the mural, Ray and Sandra say.

“It will be along the line of Ren-

wick’s history then and now, and from all of the designs submitted Tui will paint eight panels inspired by their concepts,” Ray says.

“A lot of thought went into finding an artist and after seeing Tui’s work, there was no question that there wouldn’t be anyone else,” Ray says.

It’s hoped that the Renwick Museum can officially unveil the mural at the end of this month.

National Dog Show the paw-fect event

By Aimee O’Hagan Approximately 1500 canines from around New Zealand were in Blenheim from Wednesday to Saturday, trying their luck at getting a placing in the 2019 Black Hawk National Dog Show.

The event saw multiple breeds of dogs – from toys, to working, to sporting and non-sporting dogs - competing in ability tests, obedience tests, or simply looking their best to impress a panel of judges.

Various challenges were held at different venues around Blenheim, including Marlborough Lines Stadium and Marlborough Convention Centre.

“There were all kinds of dogs, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes,” says one of the eight local organisers, Pauline Gregory.

“There were a few rare breeds people haven’t seen before.

“The gun dog group did particularly well, especially the

Bracco Italiano breed, one of the oldest kinds of gundogs.

We certainly got a good entry for those,” she says.

However, it was a Foxhound that took out the title of Best In Show, with an Alaskan Malamute coming in at a close second.

When asked about her reflection on the event, Pauline says she and her fellow organisers were “absolutely thrilled”.

“As a team we were absolutely blown away by how the show turned out.

“The response was fantastic and we got some really great feedback.”

With the event being held in Blenheim – a tiny destination in comparison to the large city centres where the show is usually based – the organising team were able to “put a twist” on this year’s show and “give it a new concept”.

According to Pauline, Dogs

New Zealand (the organisation that sets up the annual competition) were “ecstatic” with how it turned out.

“We got such positive comments from people from out of town, like how it was fantastic that it was embraced as a sport [by Marlborough],” she says.

“It gave the sport a very positive image.”

Pauline says she was particularly pleased with the support the show got from Marlborough District Council, the Blenheim community, and local businesses.

The national event brought in an estimated $1.4million for the local economy.

Next year’s Black Hawk National Dog Show is set to be held in Auckland.

“It may come back to Marlborough, it may not,” Pauline says.

“Who knows what the future will bring?”

The next steps in local roads speed limit review Feedback from Marlburians on Council’s review of speed limits on local roads has seen more than 470 submissions received from across the district.

Marlborough Roads Manager Steve Murrin thanked those who

took the time and effort to make a submission.

“It’s great to hear the views of those who gave us their suggestions and to see so many taking an active interest in road safety in Marlborough,” Steve says.

The review asked people what they considered to be appropriate speed limits on local roads. It did not include state highways which are managed by the New Zealand Transport Agency.

All submissions will now be an-

alysed and summarised. Marlborough Roads will present a report outlining its recommendations to the incoming Marlborough District Council, at the Assets and Services Committee meeting in November. A copy of the sub-

missions received will accompany the report.

“A second phase of formal consultation will be carried out early next year if we do propose speed limit changes for some local roads,” Steve says.

Simple steps to stay safe out on the water ‘Nobody is faster than disaster’. This is the theme for this year’s summer boating campaign which aims to encourage boaties to take simple steps to keep themselves, their friends and loved ones safer.

One of the main messages is around the use of maritime VHF radio and maintaining good lifejacket behaviour.

A VHF radio is your rescue network at sea, so always take a waterproof VHF radio with you.

Wearing lifejackets isn’t enough. You need to check them regularly to ensure they’re safe.

The message is simple! ‘Prep, check and know’, as you prepare for the season ahead so you can focus on having fun and not risking the safety of you and your family and friends.

It doesn't matter if you are enjoying the ocean, river or lake, keep yourself safe by wearing a lifejacket when out boating.

Marine Guide Summer projects on the bach planned?

The Christmas holidays aren’t far away and the team at Johnson’s Barge Services Ltd are reminding their clients to start thinking about their summer projects at the bach in the Marlborough Sounds.

If you do require the likes of materials, gravel, cement and machinery for any building projects, have them delivered, Peter and Jennie Johnson say.

“We can also deliver furniture and household appliances when required and pick up rubbish or supply local rubbish skips for clients use.

“Our vessels regularly move between Havelock and the outer sounds and can fit in small deliveries along the way. If bigger

loads are required, we can provide more space on the barge or do a special load whenever requested,” they say.

Johnson’s Barge Services Ltd also has a loader for moving pallets of gear ashore and can work with the client to get the material to their property and onto site for their convenience.

“Local contractors, G R Lawrence Ltd can supply bagged or loose aggregates for all those concreting jobs or driveway upgrades, and will deliver it straight to the barge for us.

“We also work in with local Helicopter companies to lift materials off the barge to sites with difficult access,” Peter and Jenny say.

Avoid alcohol when boating It’s a nice day out, the sun is shining and you have a group of friends who are enjoying being out on the boat with you.

A nice lunch has been put on and someone suggests everyone starts drinking alcohol. Does this sound like a good idea to you?

One of the messages shared by Maritime New Zealand is that the effects of alcohol on boating, even in small quantities, can be bad.

Alcohol affects co-ordination and judgement. It can also exaggerate confidence.

Alcohol can impair your: • Ability to react

• Ability to perform simple tasks • Judgement • Sense of direction.

These factors put yourself and others at risk. They also increase the likelihood of you ending up in the water by accident.

And the moment you do end up in the water, these alcohol related risks escalate.

Risks include: • Disorientation • Difficulty staying afloat • Lower concentrations of blood going to the brain and muscles, contributing to heat and fluid loss • Reduced hypothermia

awareness • Suppressed airway protection reflexes, increasing the likelihood of inhaling water If you’re on board, be prepared.

Operating a boat is at least as complicated as driving a car, and a boating accident can be just as lethal as a road accident. Many people who would never drive drunk think it’s safe to operate their boat after drinking. It isn’t.

Safer boating and alcohol do not mix. Things can change quickly on the water. All on board need to stay alert and aware.

Students start petition for better public transport for councils to invest in public transport between towns and suburbs on a regular basis, in order to improve job, study and community opportunities for young people.

The young people say that a lack of public transport in the top of the south limits opportunities and negatively impacts on the environment.

“Currently the public transport is far too expensive and at the wrong time of day, making travel to work difficult and unaffordable.”

“Better public transport would give young people more work and training opportunities.”

Tamara says a similar situation exists in Marlborough.

“Our council needs to in-



vest in public transport so that young people can get to the town centre for work easily”, Tamara says.

“The current public transport is too expensive and does not operate at suitable times.

“Better public transport would also give more transport options to elderly people and people with disabilities, who are often isolated as a result of a lack of transport options.”

Tamara says that she and her friends have been unable to attend events due to public transport being expensive and not operating at the right times.

“More frequent public transport would give young

people more opportunities to participate in society”, Tamara says.

Vienna van Heeswyck, a Nelson College for Girls student, wants to see the region showing leadership and modelling sustainable practices that reduce the impact of transport on the environment.

“Climate change is one of the biggest issues that concerns my friends and I. Public transport options like busses help to reduce our region’s carbon emissions.”

Vienna says that she has made an active decision not to drive, and instead relies on other forms of transport.

Joni, Tamara and Vienna say council decisions need to reflect the needs of the community, which is why they have started their petition.

They are aiming to get 5000 signatures and will present the petition to all

three councils in the next couple of months.

Tamara has spoken about the issue at a college assembly, and plans to do some door knocking with her petition.

The petition can be viewed and signed at: https://www. change.org/p/tasman-district-council-regular-publictransport-in-and-around-thetasman-nelson-and-marlborough-regions

Tamara Livingstone has teamed up with a group of young people from across the top of the south who are promoting a petition calling for better public transport options in the region.

Report a near miss Instead of brushing aside near misses on the roads and crediting themselves with good luck, cyclists and pedestrians should report them on the Bike/Walk Crash and Near Miss Report Form, to help make Marlborough roads safer.

Robyn Blackburn, Marlborough Road Safety Coordinator at Marlborough District Council says near misses happen on our roads every day, and estimates five out of six near misses go unreported.

This makes understanding where road safety infrastructure issues are located more difficult to pinpoint and change.

“We have received about

50 or 60 reports this year but we still think we are missing a lot of near misses that are happening in our community,” Robyn says.

“If the same type of near misses happen again and again, the odds are someone will eventually get hurt. “If you have a ‘close call’ we want to know about it as it helps Bike Walk Marlborough advocate for more expenditure on road safety infrastructure.”

Generally most near misses reported occured in fine, light weather conditions, during the summer months when more cyclists and pedestrians are on the roads, Robyn says.

Intersections and roundabouts in particular seem to

be the areas where there is the most conflict between motorists and pedestrians or cyclists.

The more data about road safety issues Bike Walk Marlborough collects, the safer our roads will become for all road users, Robyn says.

“If we want to encourage more cycling and walking in our community we need to start changing the way we are designing our roads, and we need user experience to guide us.”

Use the Bike/Walk Crash and Near Miss Report Form located on the Marlborough District Council website to report any close calls you’ve had when out biking or walking. PBA.

The Air Force carries out its annual high altitude mountain flying helicopter training in Marlborough, and over the course of two weeks had three NH90 and two A109 helicopters operating from Dip Flat in the St Arnaud Range.

“The exercise allows the squadron to train while also carrying out essential work for our partner agencies,” Wing Commander Mike Cannon says.

“It is a win-win situation: we are

getting the flying time we need to keep our crews current in flying in alpine conditions and we are able to help out with some tasking that can only be done with a helicopter.

“This involved a number of underslung loads, a skill that is essential in our core role of supporting the NZ Army.

“Eight tonnes of firewood was delivered to remote Department of Conservation huts, windows and pipes were flown to a hut that needed repair work.

“We also undertook avalanche surveys for DOC and the Mountain Safety Council and wilding pine surveys for the Ministry for Primary Industries,” Mike says.

Paul Dulieu , from theDepartment of Conservation, says the information gathered helps them make risk assessments on assets like huts.

“There are a couple of huts that we

get quite concerned about in winter because they have the potential to be hit by avalanches.

“We give the information we’ve gathered to the public so they can

make better decisions when venturing into this area. This is the second year we’ve worked with the RNZAF in this way and it is hugely beneficial to both organisations,” Paul says.

Renwick School's enviro team, the Green Ferns, pictured during a tree planting exercise.

Student voice Ellen Theobald is a Year 8 student at Renwick School and the Green Ferns Enviro team leader. She has written an article about the school’s recent Enviro Week to share their activities with the community.

The last week of school term is very busy for lots of schools, but for Renwick Schoot, it was a whole other story.

The year 7/8 enviro team, the Green Ferns, and their teacher leader Sarah Tullett, made a plan to hold an Enviro Week.

This event was open to all students at Renwick and there were many different workshops, activities and opportunities on offer.

As well as this, each Whanau (year group) committed to a clean up around the community and school at some point in the week.

Some of the activities that were on offer to students were: Seed tape workshops, an environmentally friendly way of evenly spacing seeds in your garden.

W heel ie Lunchtimes where children are encouraged to bring in their wheels and to think about using their cars less.

The Green Ferns committee contributed by planting trees in the school creek with help from experts, and on the last day of term students shared their thoughts about climate change by writing

messages in chalk on the school entranceway.

Competitions were also held which included a class competition of who could decorate their recycling bin the best with recycled materials only.

This was a great hit and got students consciously thinking in the classroom about waste and where it goes.

An individual poster competition was held too for the best design and slogan relating to the environment.

Enviro Week was enjoyed by all at Renwick School and those who organised it put in lots of effort and hard work.

Fingers crossed it won’t be the last Enviro Week to be held at Renwick School.

inbrief

Keen competition in Vets tennis league The Marlborough Vets Tennis Club finished another successful winter season with the completion of the League Competition.

The league was played over 12 weeks on a Sunday morning and was keenly contested by 60 players and 25 reserves.

The competition is an any gender doubles format with all four players playing a set against each other. At the end of the match all games won by individuals are added with a maximum of 18 points.

The top player moves up

a league, the bottom player moves down and the middle two stay in the same league for the next match, so all matches are evenly and keenly contested at all levels of ability.

This year Karina Greenall was top lady with 163 points; second equal were Pauline Troon and Trish Dahlberg with 158 points.

Mike Ennis took out the top men’s award with 166 points, closely followed by Weir Broadbridge with 163 points.

Hugh Robinson finished in third place with 162 points.
