By Celeste Lodewyk It was not until her sister screamed from the audience that Jessica Francis realised that she had won the title of the Beavertown Blenheim Lions Bride of the Year for 2011 on Saturday night. In first place was Jessica, second was Lana Woolley, third was Melissa Cowdrey and audience choice was Amie Murphy. When The Sun spoke again to Jessica on Monday morning, she was still coming to terms with the win and was proudly wearing her diamond necklace from her first place prize package. Continued Page 2.

Retailers welcome Kronic crackdown By Damian George Blenheim retailers who sell the synthetic cannabis substance Kronic say they would welcome proposed Government restrictions on the sale and marketing of the product. Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne has suggested changes be made to the Misuse of Drugs Act 2005 in order to curb sales of the product, saying the changes will be made within weeks. Of the four retailers The Sun spoke to who stock the product High Street Dairy, Boots ‘n’ All, Tip Top Store & Takeaways and Travel Stop Cyber Cafe - all say they have already placed their own restrictions on the product, limiting sales to customers aged 18 and over.

High Street Dairy co-owner Maryann Hart says she did not hesitate to enforce the restriction as soon as Kronic was made available. “I’ve got grandchildren and I wouldn’t want them having drugs until they’re adults and they can decide what to do.” The dairy’s retail assistant, Zoe Hart, says the store receives people between 18 and 50 years of age requesting Kronic. “When we first got it in, we were one of the only places that were selling it. We were selling $400-500 a day, but now it’s slowed down heaps,” she says. “We still get people coming in and asking but I think everyone knows that it’s gonna be banned

so they’re going back to smoking weed.” Boots ‘n’ All owner Andrew Hall says Kronic is an adult product so should only be made available to adults. “We make it R18 - no ID, no sale, no exception,” he says. “To limit the places it’s sold to specialty stores, that’s far better than having it available at bars or dairies and the like. “It should have been that way right from the start.” He says people use it because they do not get in trouble for it and there is no stigma attached to it. The proposed changes would also apply to other widely available ‘cannabinoid’ substances like “Spice”, “Aroma” and “Dream”.

The Sun asked three Marlborough Boys’ College students for their views on the sale and consumption of Kronic.

Refurbished hospital officially opened By Damian George Minister of Health Tony Ryall was on hand to officially open the redeveloped Wairau Hospital in Blenheim on Saturday. The ceremony was the celebration of a project which was carried out in four stages and started in September, 2008. Staff and departments were relocated to temporary premises throughout that time as the new

facilities were built. “Our staff and patients now have a facility to be proud of,” Nelson Marlborough District Health Board chief executive John Peters says. “I would like to thank both the community and staff for their patience while the hospital was being built around them.” National MP for Kaikoura Colin King, who was present at Saturday’s ceremony, says the opening

was an “incredibly satisfying end” to the $46 million project. “There’s a lot of tradition and history up there,” he says of the 125-year-old facility. “To have it completed on time and budget is great. “We’ve done our bit, this generation, now it’s up to future generations of Marlburians to ensure that these services are improved in the future.”

Taking To The STage Marlborough’s top teen music talent will take to the stage in the 2011 Smokefreerockquest at the Marlborough Convention Centre on Saturday, July 2. Event co-founder and director Glenn Common says interest in the competition continues to grow, and this year’s entries have topped last year’s record of 800 entrants.

SWim reScheduled The Annual MORE FM Midwinter Swim has been rescheduled for June 26 due to weather. The event has also been moved from the Picton Foreshore to Picton’s Shelly Beach. Registrations open at 12pm, with the swim scheduled to start at 1pm.

Carpark for Wynen St Club to be demolished By Damian George The new $500,000 car park which will replace the old Working Men’s Club building on Wynen Street will be completed by the end of September at the latest. Marlborough District Council executive projects manager Jamie Lyall says work will begin to extend the existing car park on the site once the Working Men’s Club has been demolished. “A start date is yet to be deter-

mined but all work is required to be completed by September 30, 2011.” Mr Lyall says demolition consent has been obtained from the council. Engineering input will be required to ensure builders do not “undermine” a basement which sits below the neighbouring Wrightson’s building during construction, he says. The council-owned site was to be developed into a $15 million Farmers Trading Co department

This site on Wynen Street will be developed into an extended parking lot by September.

store, but the company has been unable to secure a developer. Two developers have pulled out of the project since it was proposed in 2007.

MDC support services manager Dean Heiford says the project will create roughly an additional 100 parking spaces. He says the existing car park will also be upgraded.

Decision puts theatre plans back on track By Damian George Civic Theatre Trust chairman Kevin Moseley says the Marlborough District Council’s decision to buy Blenheim’s theatre building has ended an uncertain period for the trust. The council confirmed plans in its 2011-12 budget last week to buy the building and the block of land it occupies from the Civic Theatre Trust for $6m, and to provide a $5m grant for the project. Mr Moseley told The Sun on Monday the decision was a big relief for the trust, after a newly-elected council had decided to review its

funding of the project and the theatre purchase last year. “I’m excited that the council are still on board with the project and it means that we can move forward,” he says. “The project management team are now hardening up on the design. “We hope to get a tender before the end of 2011, so that we can hopefully announce the tender at the beginning of next year.” Mr Moseley says it is estimated construction of the proposed theatre will take about 18 months, meaning it is likely to be completed in mid-2013.

The new $15 million aquatic centre opened at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 on Monday, much to the delight of local swimmers. The new indoor facility boasts a ten-lane, 25-metre recreational pool, a children’s area including a ‘lazy river’, a modern hydro therapy

pool and a spa and sauna area. Work is now beginning to refurbish the stadium’s existing indoor pools. That is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Construction is also underway on an outdoor three-lane, 25-metre pool and children’s area.

By Damian George Vehicle owners who have been using a strip of land on Grove Road to advertise their cars for sale are being warned to move them off the site. The message comes after the Marlborough District Council took up a lease of the land owned by the New Zealand Transport Agency recently. The land, adjacent to the railway line near the Blenheim i-Site, has long been used as an unlicensed car yard for cheaply-priced vehicles. MDC executive projects manager Jamie Lyall says the move will help to tidy up the appearance of a “major entry point to Blenheim”.

Work is scheduled to begin soon to transform the site into a proper parking area to support the new i-Site and Railway Station. A sign was erected last week advising all vehicle owners to remove their cars, and notices were placed on vehicle windscreens. Marlborough car dealer Phil Brown, of Phil Brown Motors, says he is “delighted” with the decision to displace the car yard. Mr Brown has been pushing the council for “at least three to four years” to clean out the area. “It was annoying, but it was an eyesore more than anything.”

Car park delay The scheduled handover date of Blenheim’s new Alfred St carpark from contractors to the Marlborough District Council has been extended from June 20 to June 27 as a result of last week’s earthquakes in Christchurch. MDC executive projects manager Jamie Lyall says the two quakes, measuring magnitude 5.7 and 6.3, have delayed the delivery of some building materials needed for the project.

Europe beckons for students By Damian George A four-week trip around Europe is not part of your usual school curriculum, but that is exactly what a group of Queen Charlotte College students will be doing later this year. The 18 history classics students, along with three other top pupils, will embark on the trip in September covering Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey and the Greek Islands. “It’s about taking what [the students] are learning in class and making it real,” Queen Charlotte College assistant principal and trip organiser Jack Saxon says. “The major focus is all about gaining that global perspective.” The students will start in Venice, Italy, before visiting Slovenia and Croatia then returning to Italy to cover Rome and Naples. From there, they will head

to Athens and Peloponnese in Greece, and explore Greek Islands including Mykonos, Samos, Ephesus and Canakali either side of a visit to Turkey’s western coast. The trip rounds out with a stop in Istanbul in Turkey and a short stop in Dubai. Mr Saxon says he hopes the excursion will inspire his students to continue to travel once they leave school. “These kids are on the cusp of making some big life decisions and I want them to make those decisions with a greater range of experiences,” he says. “A lot of kids choose to stay in Picton, which is great, but we’re trying to encourage them to go away, soak up some experience, and come back with all that experience under their belt.” The trip will cost each student $6150, of which $3600 will come

Call-up for Wheeler, BraCeWell

Employees ‘go pink’ for cancer

Young Central Districts allrounders Ben Wheeler and Doug Bracewell have been named in a 15-man New Zealand A cricket squad for next month’s Emerging Players tournament in Australia. Both players were part of the New Zealand team which took part at the under-19 World Cup in Christchurch last year, and have since made their mark on the domestic scene. The other teams to make up the quadrangular tournament are the Australian Institute of Sport [AIS] and emerging teams from South Africa and India.

Employees at Blenheim’s Safe Air and RNZAF Base Woodbourne donned the pink clothing yesterday as part of its ‘Let’s Go Pink’ day to support breast cancer. Safe Air marketing and sales manager Alex Robins says the day was inspired by colleagues or their partners who are presently battling cancer. “It’s about being aware of how you can support somebody going through

The highlight of the event was a tongue-in-cheek ‘fashion runway’, in which six male employees dressed as women and took to the catwalk. Mr Robins says the event raised more than $900 in gold coin donations, which will be donated to the Marlborough branch of the NZ Cancer Society.

I am a Mum, and I’d be offended if other people found it offensive for me to feed in public, because it is just a natural way of life.

No I don’t find it offensive. The cafe owner (in Timaru) that complained is the one that has the problem.

I am a breastfeeding mother, and I don’t find it offensive to see others doing it. I do try to be as discreet as I can.

No, I don’t have a problem with it when it’s done discreetly.

It’s the most natural way of feeding a baby. People that have a problem with it need to deal with it.

I am ok with it, as long as the mothers are being discreet about it. (Mum of 4)

Don’t be afraid to ask questions Dear Editor, Among the many people I converse with at all levels here in Blenheim it appears we have a very real concern in that we have many people, particularly the elderly, being prescribed multi medications that is not only making them ill but (also) keeping them ill. Unfortunately, we, the older generation have looked on our Doctors as ‘gods’ and just accepted what we were told - medication given, no questions asked. I have heard the advice given on a number of occasions “if a Doctor prescribes more than five medications (some say 3), change your Doctor”. We need to acknowledge that we know our own bodies best, we do know best ‘how we feel’ and therefore can, in many cases, know what is in our best interests healthwise. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Get on the

Internet and research very thoroughly what medications claim they will do and very importantly what the side effects are. Our bodies are wonderfully made and can in many instances heal themselves if only given the chance. And yes, sometimes they do need some assistance. It is not helpful to be told that we’re old and just have to accept and put up with some things. We do deserve to be treated with dignity and respect at all times. I know of more and more people who have made their own decisions, rid themselves of medication they believed was making them ill and their health has improved immensely. Be encouraged. Take control, eat healthily, exercise and live a happy, healthy life. Sincerely, Mrs Judi Woolley

Dancing to a global challenge By Celeste Lodewyk Not one face was missing a smile last Friday as Waterlea Resthome residents, Bupa employees and Alzheimer’s Marlborough joined to dance to the theme of ‘Lets Remember to Dance’. Hosted by the Alzheimer’s Centre on Wither Road, this was the second dance held last week as part of the Bupa Global Challenge 2011. Bupa Care Services, formerly Guardian Health Care is one of New Zealand’s leading providers of care services, including rest homes such as Waterlea Resthome in Blenheim. As part of this Global Challenge, thousands of Bupa employees from around the world join together with their communities in June to encourage more people to get moving. A n d m ov i n g wa s w h a t t h e

Marlborough community did last week, with two dances organised for Waterlea Resthome residents, Bupa employees and members of the community. When the Sun arrived at Friday’s dance, the Marlborough Boys’ College opened the dance with a Kapa Haka performance which was followed by special guests Mayor Alistair Sowman and deputy Mayor Jenny Andrews with the official first dance. Waterlea Resthome activities co-ordinator Mary Hodgson said the dances were a way to show that resthomes were not about sitting in a chair all day. “It’s all about having heaps of fun and promoting wellbeing and healthy ageing, and as you can see by the smiles in the room, this has been a wonderful way to get our community moving,” she says.

Cradle of dreams By Celeste Lodewyk Tomorrow is the due date of expectant parents Claudia Marie and Oliver Wiesner’s baby girl and as exciting as that is alone, they are doubly excited about their new handcrafted wooden cradle. So much so that Claudia wanted to make a formal thank you to the “wonderful” craftsmen of the Marlborough Guild of Woodworkers. To explain their story, the couple has been searching for a traditional wooden cradle but had no luck in finding one. With their baby’s due date loom-

ing, they began searching overseas but were quickly put off by the “extreme” prices. One day whilst strolling through Brayshaw Park, they noticed the Guild’s sign and went in to inquire about their work. Guild members Bob Patchett, Colin Hammond and President Edward Guard agreed to make the cradle drawing inspiration from an antique woodworking catalogue. The task took 35 days to complete and when the Sun visited last Wednesday, Claudia and Oliver had arrived to collect their cradle.

Expectant parents Oliver Wiesner and Claudia Marie are grateful to Edward Guard, Colin Hammond (pictured) and bob Patchett for their hand-crafted cradle.

“We are just thrilled with it and so grateful that they agreed to make this for us,” Claudia says.

The cradle was made from Macrocarpa wood and was three feet long.

This is a question she often presents to her clients as she guides them toward identifying and preparing for any future challenges which may lie ahead. “Your family budget needs to be reviewed regularly as things change over time, and as we are slowly emerging from the recession I believe it is a good time to re-evaluate financial goals.

Over the past months Jac has assisted her clients in many areas including helping their adult children to purchase their first home, laying to rest a previous adverse credit history so they can purchase their own home, and advising on more effective ways to pay off credit card and other debt. In addition to her financial coaching role, Jac has also been working with clients focusing on their personal goals. “It’s just as important to look at what clients are aiming to achieve, for example finding a better life balance and identifying what their priorities are in life,” she says. If you, or someone you care about deserves to have the best advice and service, contact Jac at Prosper today.

Owner and operator of Sandy’s Hair Design on Wellington Street, Sandy has been in the industry for 33 years and recently achieved her life long career goal of owning her own salon. Sandy took over Hair With Attitude on June 1, a successful and vibrant salon where she had been working since October last year.

“When the opportunity arose I jumped at it, it has always been a goal of mine to own a salon so I am thrilled,” she says. Although the salon has been renamed ‘Sandy’s Hair Salon’, Sandy insists the quality and friendly service remains the same. “Vince Dobrin who has been with the business for 18 months is still here and we both look forward to welcoming new clients,” she says. Sandy first began her hairdressing career in Invercargill where she began as an apprentice. She moved to Picton 13-years ago where she continued her work as a professional hairdresser.

/// Electrical Matters ///

Don’t waste electricity,

save it! As everyone knows the best way to reduce your electricity consumption is to use less electricity. But with the winter months come long, cold nights and plenty of temptation to use the heated towel rail and heat pump an extra few hours, your electricity bill will soon begin to soar. So to get you thinking about energy saving, here is some professional advice from Laser Electrical owner Brendon Adams.

Insulation: Once you have heat in the house, it’s important to keep it there and insulation will help with that. Batts in the roof, wall insulation, double glazing, thermal backed curtains – these will all hold the heat in. If your hose is on piles, underfloor insulation is a good solution to consider.

Home Ventilation: DVS, HRV and Smart Vents work well in winter as they use the hot air that is in the roof space, filters it then circulates it throughout the home. It’s a good, cheap form of heating during the day.

Heatpumps: Heat Pumps are currently the most cost-effective form of heating using electricity. Installing a heat pump does come with a cost but will pay itself off through energy savings made over approximately a fiveyear period.

Energy Suppliers: People need to shop around and get quotes from different energy suppliers as there can be quite a difference between them.

This is especially important as there will be high loads of energy use expected throughout June, July and August so energy bills may already be experiencing an increase. A good website to refer to is www.powerswitch.co.nz and has been designed to work out what rates you are on now, and compares them to the alternatives.

Heated towel rails are quite commonly left going more during winter, but by using a timer you can save up to $100 per year per rail. Having it going during the day is wasted money down the drain so call us today and we can install a timer for you.

Towel Rails:

During winter the nights are longer and people are using their lights more. Some cost effective ways to save on lighting include using compact florescent lights. These use 80 percent less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs and for years they have delivered the biggest savings. Light Emitting Diodes are also another option as they are up to five times more energy efficient than standard incandescent light bulbs and are very cheap to run.

BLENHEIM DENTURE STUDIO

Chris Parkes from Blenheim Denture Studio says their APT system provides high quality dentures that are the most natural looking and closest fitting prosthetics available. Blenheim Denture Studio is the only practice in Marlborough to offer patients the benefits of an APT injection moulded denture. APT is a system that provides high quality dentures that are the most natural looking and closest fitting prosthetics available. Using state of the art technology to replicate the appearance and function of natural teeth APT dentures exceed internationally accepted benchmarks previously set for dentures. Due to the exact fit and strength of an APT denture, problems like multiple adjustments and cracking are virtually eliminated. You get a denture that fits and lasts fantastically. The teeth used are the best available on the market. Their distinctively natural appearance surpasses anything previously available in dentures.

PROVIDED BY MARLBOROUGH WOMEN’S REFUGE

They contain multiple blended layers of dentin and enamel to create a natural, lifelike effect never seen before. This blending of layers guarantees enduring colour stability and long-lasting wear. It also produces a shading effect that is indistinguishable from natural teeth. APT dentures are made from the highest quality materials that are tested and certified for biocompatibility at independent institutes. These materials meet and exceed all the required international standards under very strict quality control procedures. If you wish to see what the best denture available on the market can do for your appearance, confidence and long-term well-being, call Chris and Rachel on phone 578 4344 to book a free-of-charge, no-obligation consultation today.

Denture Care Cleaning your dentures every day is one of the most important things you can do to help your smile keep its attractive appearance. If you don’t, plaque can form on dentures, making them less bright. Plus, failure to clean your dentures regularly can result in staining and denture odor, as well. Here are a few simple tips: 1. Dentures can break, so always fill the sink with water, then clean your dentures over the sink, just in case they slip

out of your hands by accident. 2. Rinse your dentures thoroughly to remove loose food particles. Use cool or warm water. But never use hot water – it can warp your dentures. 3. Apply a denture cleaning paste to a moistened denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush. Do not use ordinary toothpaste, bleach, vinegar or soap unless directed to do so by your dental professional. 4. Brush all surfaces thoroughly. Avoid using brushes

with stiff bristles, as they can damage the denture material. 5. Rinse dentures well under the faucet to remove all traces of cleaning paste. 6. While you sleep at night, soak your dentures in a cleanser (such as Fixodent®) or one recommended by your dental professional. 7. Brush your gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled regular toothbrush to remove plaque and stimulate circulation. Then reinsert your dentures.

Singer continues golden run Bible Answers... - ADVERTISEMENT -

with Pastor Jeff Williams

Do you have a Bible question for Jeff? Email us your question at pastor@mbbc.org.nz or post it to us. Full confidentiality is assured at all times. Q – “What is God’s name??? A person has got to have a name, how can we build a relationship with him if he has no name.” (Anne M – email) A – God has many names as do most of us. Part 1

With all due respect, the way your question is worded presents a number of illogical premises that need to be cleared up before your question can be answered: 1) A person HAS to have a name – this is a logical argument, not a biblical argument; are the billions of babies stillborn, aborted or miscarried not persons if they were never named? 2) A person has to have A name – you seem to imply that we have one name when most of us have many – I have been or am called Jeff, Jeffrey, Glenn, Mr Williams, Dr Williams, Pastor Williams, preacher, pastor, dad, daddy, Chuck, and many other names by my wife and close family members I’d rather not print. 3) You can’t build a relationship with someone if they don’t have a name (or as you probably meant, if you do not know their name) – knowing one of their names may help, but I have relationships in varying stages of growth with many, many people whose names I am an unaware of. There are a number of angelic beings in the Bible who refused to share their name with mankind (Gen. 32:29; Judges 13:18) establishing the principle that it was far more important to obey God’s commandments than to necessarily know names. In answering your question, there are two avenues open to us from the Bible: 1) What is the Creator of the universe called in the Bible? What names did the Holy Spirit of God record or utilize when inspiring the scriptures and recording them for our benefit? 2) What does the Bible specifically say about the “name” of God? In other words, when the actual word “name” shows up identifying God in some way, what is said? Next week we will seek some more specific answers!

Richard scooped the accolade in the country rock section, singing country legend Merle Haggard’s Okie from Muskogee. It continues a successful recent

His other awards came in the open senior ‘50s and ‘60s songs category, where he was runner-up, and in the over-40s section, where he won another highly-commended.

>volleyball By Damian George A-grade side Flamin’ Mongrels kept their Marlborough volleyball winter league finals hopes alive with a 3-0 win over Marlborough Boys’ College [MBC] on Thursday. The Picton-based side saw off a spirited MBC challenge to eventually win 25-21, 25-22, 25-15. They now have to beat Fairweathers Magnum in tomorrow’s final regular season match to secure a finals berth. I n ot her A-g rade action, Fairweathers Magnum held on to

Richard says he did not enter the competitions with the aim of achieving recognition. “I’m not a young fella, I’m at the other end,” he says. “I’m doing it ‘cause I just love my country music.” He says he believes there is still a place on the country music scene for the old-time American-style classics sung by the likes of Haggard and others.

win a thrilling deciding set and take out their match against Wayward Spikers. Heading into the third set at 1-1, Fairweathers sneaked over the line with a 26-24 final set victory. In Grade B, Not Sure upset joint-leaders Cri Clovers 2-1, winning a tight second set 29-27, while Just Woodbourne accounted for Treefellas 3-0. In the non-competition game [played instead of a bye], Woodbourne Cannons defeated MBC 2-1.

Cullen sheds light on Hurricanes fallout Former All Black Christian Cullen may have summed up the rather perplexing situation at the Hurricanes in a characteristically simple manner. “Let’s be honest, everyone knows they’re two completely different teams and players. The Canterbury style will never work with the Hurricanes. That’s obvious.” That was the 58-test All Black and Wellington and Hurricanes stalwart’s take on the sensational dumping of All Blacks Andrew Hore and Ma’a Nonu by Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett recently. Cullen’s assessment is interesting because, as an outsider looking in, it appeared that way. That is: the Crusaders and Hurricanes adopt a completely different attitude to

the way they go about their rugby. But to hear it from a former player is quite staggering. Cullen is suggesting that former Canterbury and Crusaders hooker Hammett’s disciplined approach to coaching is not something that was going to sit well in the capital. Whereas the Crusaders implement a more ‘structured’ approach, the Hurricanes players are encouraged to be free spirits, to express themselves – according to Cullen. It seems rather ironic, then, that Hammett’s presence appears to have rocked the boat [although some observers maintain the storm was brewing]. Departing hooker Hore stated Hammett’s dictatorial approach

led to the fallout, with a “lack of consultation” not impressing the Hurricanes’ senior players. It has been revealed Hore paid the price for enjoying ‘a midweek drink’, while Nonu was deemed to be disruptive and petulant. It is hard to know who to blame: Hammett, who wanted to introduce a more stringent, perhaps school teacher-like policy, or Hore and Nonu, who believed themselves to be too senior to change their ways for a first-year Super rugby coach. Either way, both Hore and Nonu will likely be named in the All Blacks squad this year, as they have been for close to a decade. I wonder if Graham Henry lets Hore enjoy a midweek pint.

>Tennis By Damian George Marlborough tennis players Caleb Mooney and Jeremy Crouch are set to hit the courts of USA universities in coming months in a bid to “turn some heads”. Caleb, who has just completed a five-week stint playing in Germany’s national tennis league, and Jeremy, who flew to the US last week, will visit colleges throughout America in August and September in an attempt to secure a scholarship deal. The recruitment process, known as ‘try-outs’, involves college hopefuls turning up to universities to challenge its existing players in an effort to impress selectors. Caleb, who played for the semiprofessional TC Ottersweier club in Germany, says he wants to take the opportunity with both hands. “I hope to just play well enough to turn some heads,” he says. Playing against other German clubs, Caleb won three of his four singles matches and two out of four doubles matches during his

By Damian George The ten members of the Witherlea School year six rippa rugby team are gearing up for the game of their lives at Lansdowne Park in Blenheim tonight. Not only will the side be playing the curtain-raiser for Marlborough’s clash with a Japan XV at 6pm, it will also be playing for a place at the Rippa Rugby World Cup in Auckland in August. Witherlea will take on Nelson’s Richmond Primary School for a spot in the tournament after winning the Marlborough primary school tournament in Blenheim recently.

Before embarking on their college mission, both Caleb and Jeremy [also 19] will spend two months at the Camp America programme in Pennsylvania. The programme involves coaching and supervising local children. Jeremy and Caleb will teach both tennis and swimming.

Careers evening ‘best ever’ TAT TOO: Ken Spencer, owner of Black Dragon Tattoo Studio welcomes Nick O’Hagan to the business.

By Celeste Lodewyk Walking upstairs to the entrance at Black Dragon Tattoo Studio, the high-pitched vibration of two tattoo guns sound out, signalling the start of a new working relationship between two talented tattoo artists. Four weeks ago, local boy Nick O’Hagan joined forces with Ken Spencer, owner of the award-winning Black Dragon Tattoo Studio on High Street in Blenheim, and was quickly put to work.

“It’s been a pretty busy few weeks and at the same time it’s been great working with Ken who has been in the industry a long time,” Nick says. Ken says he has been tattooing most of his life, but professionally for around 22 years. This is not the first time Ken has worked with another tattoo artist, but he says it will be the first time one has stayed permanently. “You get sick of working alone,” he

laughs. “Nick is bringing new blood into this place and it’s good to have different styles of work.” Nick previously ran his own home-based tattoo studio called Slaughter House and has been tattooing for nearly three years. Most of his skill has been self-taught, he says, as well as learning from professionals by watching them in action. In addition to his tattooing, Nick is also a baker.

By Celeste Lodewyk New stall holders at the annual Careers Evening held at the Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 on Monday night say it was so successful that they will be coming back next year. The annual event is hosted by the Marlborough Boys’ College and features representatives from a wide variety of training institutions and universities. This year saw 36 stall holders which attracted 1011 people to the evening, a number which organisers say was their best yet. Andrea Adams of Travel, Careers and Training (pictured) told the Sun that it was the best careers expo that she attends throughout New Zealand. “It is unique with regard to the high number of parents that come along,” she says. Ross Sice of Smart Careers says that this is the only expo he goes to now, and commented that he really enjoys the friendly atmosphere and the way parents and students engage.
