Fund for Jacqueline By Damian George
A close family friend of the 12-year-old girl who was hit by a truck in Blenheim last week has begun a campaign to raise funds for the devastated family.
Cushla Armstrong, who describes the injured girl Jacqueline Wyatt as “like a daughter to me”, says the family are so immersed in her recovery they have not had time to deal with anything else.
Jacqueline was run over by a sixtonne truck while biking to school last week, suffering a broken pelvis and ribs and severe internal bleeding, and is currently recovering in Auckland’s Starship Hospital. Continued page 3.

How to reach us
Help to spread Christmas cheer Christmas is only 31 days away and the Sun’s seasonal Christmas Present Appeal is getting underway. The Open Home Foundation in Blenheim, which works with around 100 children aged from birth to 17-years, will be hoping to give all these children an extra special Christmas this year - thanks to the generosity of Sun readers. Simply donate a brand-new

Christmas gift to the Sun office in 72 High Street, Blenheim, and we will pass it on to less fortunate children who may not always have their own gifts to unwrap on Christmas morning. Open Home Foundation Practice Manager Anne Wilson said suitable presents for both girls and boys would be much appreciated. “Anything from board games to trucks, torches,
chocolates and dolls. We find that teenage boys and girls especially like deodorant, shampoo and soap sets so once you know that it’s easy to buy for them�. The Open Home Foundation is a community organisation working in the care and protection of families and children at risk. This includes foster, respite and long term care of these children.

Not long after moving into his Lee Street home two-years ago, Blenheim man Bill Dew noticed a beautiful but foul smelling flower in his garden. The smell gets so bad he says that he and his wife can hardly get in the front door because of all the flies the plant attracts. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dragon Arumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or otherwise known as the Dranunculus Vulgaris can grow up to 60cm long and smells of rotting meat for a day or so before the flower wilts and dies. The Dragon Arum has a very unpleasant smell reminiscent of a carcass. This is because the pollinators of this plant are flies and other carrion insects. According to Bill his Dragon Arum only flowers once a year and is coloured a deep purple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice looking flower and if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stink then we would be happy to leave it there,â&#x20AC;? he laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if someone wants it for their own garden, they are welcome to come and dig out the bulb and take it.â&#x20AC;? The Dragon Arum is native to the Balkans, to Mediterranean Europe, Greece, the isle of Crete and the Aegean Islands, all the way to Southwest Turkey. If anyone has a Dragon Arum in their garden or wish to contact Bill regarding his, you can call the Sun office.

Local woman slams mental health system
,OOK GOOD FEEL GOOD ALL DAY LONG
By Damian George A local woman whose husband went into a rage and threatened to cut her throat says he has been refused help by mental health authorities. The woman, who does not wish to be identified, says her husband is suffering from mental health issues which result in frequent violent outbursts he has no recollection of. She says her husband has sparked into outrage ten times in the last six months - the latest including furniture being thrown and death threats - but all his attempts to seek help have been rejected. Her husband has been on a low anti-depressant drug, prescribed by a psychiatrist, since 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It must be a chemical imbalance problem for him to black out and not remember,â&#x20AC;? she says. In her attempt to seek emergency help, she was told by a Witherlea House Community Team crisis worker they could not help her husband unless he was suicidal, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this crisis worker for - if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suicidal, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really badly depressed, but not if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re angry? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our public health system, and it
*AIMEE 2OSE
needs to be known.â&#x20AC;? The woman initially called Witherlea House seeking a crisis worker following the incident after her husband had left to calm down, but was told there was no one available. An hour later, she received a call-back, advising her to take her husband to the doctor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next day, I rang mental health back to make an appointment, but they refused to give us one and said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get a crisis worker to call me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him everything. He then said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you need to go to your doctor - we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help unless heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suicidalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threatening my life, only his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He loves his wife and children and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to harm them in any way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He simply wants help but whenever heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asked for it, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fobbed off.â&#x20AC;? Five days after the incident, her husband
*ACKLYN 3LATE
finally had a meeting with a psychologist, which she says was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a jokeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They told him heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not depressed, but then told him to up his pills. Why up them if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not depressed? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no follow-up, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no nothing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All they could really suggest to me was, if he gets really bad again, to call the police.â&#x20AC;? NMDHB mental health service director Robyn Byers says she is not permitted to publicly discuss patient matters, but responded by saying all calls to the service are assessed before a course of action is decided on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the person does not meet the criteria and there is no psychiatric risk or mental illness, then advice and recommendations will be made to contact the appropriate agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some circumstances, other agencies like the police or Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Refuge are the most appropriate to deal with violent behaviour.â&#x20AC;?

Fund for Jacqueline her. It will be a matter of slowly getting her hours back.â&#x20AC;? Cushla says one of her main priorities is reuniting the family as soon as possible, and has organised a fund-raising barbecue at The Warehouse on Sunday which has received plenty of support from the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her brothers are missing her a heck of a lot, and vice versa,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just really want to be together. We dont know if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be back here for Christmas. If sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, I would love
Continued from page 1. Her parents, Paulette and Andy Wyatt, are with her in Auckland, but her four brothers are still in Blenheim. Cushla says Paulette, who works for babysitting agency Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nannieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, is not sure whether or not she will be able to return to work once she returns to Blenheim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was looking after triplets so, beacuse they require full-time care, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to replace her and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost that job,â&#x20AC;? Cushla says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if there will be work for
to make sure the family are together in Auckland.â&#x20AC;? Briscoes, More Fm, Premier Books and Stirling Sports are among the local businesses to have donated items for raffles, something which Cushla says is heart-warming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awesome. Blenheim has really come together over this. Riverlands school have been awesome too.â&#x20AC;? Anyone wanting to help the Wyatts can leave donations at The Blenheim Sun, call Cushla on 577 7248, or make a deposit to ASB Bank account 12-3167-0162160-56.

Red Nose Day
Festival a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wheelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; great success
The Beavertown Early Learning Centre celebrated Red Nose Day on Friday in true fashion. Staff and children dressed in red and decorated cupcakes with red jaffas. Pictured left: Jan Pinkerton and Susan Shallcrass with three of the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Hayley McCormick, Isabelle and Max Davidson.
Christmas extravaganza From Page 1. The end of the 2010 year is approaching and to celebrate the up and coming Christmas festivities, Tempo will host its final concert of the year on Friday November 26 at the Wesley Centre. Instead of a door charge, organisers are asking audience members and
performers to bring along a gift for the Salvation Army Christmas Toy Appeal. Bearing in mind the different age groups, presents for young children through to teenagers would be greatly appreciated. The Salvation Army has also asked
for any donations of wrapping paper and cello tape. What is promising to be a great concert, the concert has an exciting line-up of performers including special guest artists The Salvation Army Band led by the entertaining David Brooks.
By Celeste Lodewyk The wind blew and the clouds weighed heavily over the sky but the laughter and happy faces could not be dampened at the Renwick School (and friends) Festival of Wheels on Sunday. Held for the first time at the Geisen Sports and Events Centre, the festival was a great success despite the threatening rain clouds, says the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager Vicki Harrison-Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were promoting the day as a school and friends community day so from that point of view it was really successful with positive feedback from those present,â&#x20AC;? she says. Children loved the
face painting, crazy hair art, RDA pony rides and crazy trailer rides, while younger children enjoyed the Renwick Marching merry-go-round and played in the Renwick Pre-school area. Next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be held on Labour Weekend Sunday 2011 to coincide with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150-year celebrations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are planning a Renwick street parade with prizes for people dressed in period costume and the best stand plus much more to see and do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone interested in being involved can contact me now to register their interest or even book a spot for next year,â&#x20AC;? Vicki says.

Horses for courses RDA helps students By Celeste Lodewyk Queen Charlotte College special needs student Georgia Payne sits in her wheelchair lovingly stroking the mane of Marlborough Riding for Disabled horse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Louieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Georgia is one of 12 students from Redwoodtown School, Queen Charlotte and Marlborough Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colleges who take part in a unique equestrian programme called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Education Outside the Classroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The programme operates with the Marlborough RDA for the Disabled Association Inc for and is supported by volunteers and school special needs staff members.
The students spend three hours every Wednesday learning about the care and nature of horses as well as life skills and socialization in a positive learning environment. This programme was the idea of Roslein Wilkes head coach and manager of Marlborough RDA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time this programme is being trialed and so far it has proved successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt RDA provided a great learning environment for special needs students as it gives them a one to one learning environment as well as hands on experience learning about horses,â&#x20AC;? she says. ORRS Teacher Joy Askin
commends the programme and says it will help Marlborough special needs students to transition from primary school to college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are forming strong friendships through this programme which will help with that transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, the horses have a calming effect on the students which encourages them to learn patience and responsibility for looking after them,â&#x20AC;? Joy says. The Education Outside the Classroom programme runs at a high cost, but thanks to sponsorship from Pub Charity the costs have been greatly reduced.
PONY TALES: Georgia Payne and Jared Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil work with Riding for Disabled horse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Louieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as part of a unique equestrian programme aimed at special needs students.
Pro Golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new drive By Damian George Sharpieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf head professional Jonti Phillipson says he hopes his new store will become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;golfing hubâ&#x20AC;? for the people of Blenheim. The store, which opened on Nelson Street earlier this month, is co-owned by the Professional Golf Association [PGA] member, who moved to New Zealand from Germany in 2000. Phillipson says he aims to create an atmosphere for like-minded people to share their passion for the sport without feeling obliged to make purchases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than just having a full-on retail store, I want this place to be like a bit of a golf hub - a place where you learn about golf, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounded by golf.â&#x20AC;? Since taking up the sport at the age of seven, Phillipson has forged an impressive golfing resume. He represented Tasman as an amateur between 2000 and 2004, before completing his three-year professional apprenticeship in Nelson and Masterton, then

attending the Asian qualifying school in 2008. He says his latest venture allows him to continue with his own golfing aspirations, after being a professoinal at Masterton Golf Club since mid-2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to play golf - it was too full-on,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not attatched to a golf club, this is a bit more easy-going
in the sense that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about enjoying golf and whatever I can do to help others achieve that, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about for me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, with being on tour being so expensive, I thought I needed something to fall back on and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where this place came from.â&#x20AC;? Phillipson says he also hopes to develop strong junior programmes in Marlborough.

Blenheim couple Shaun and Ruth Thompson are in contention to become the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimate Coupleâ&#x20AC;?.
The grand prize is a 22-carat diamond ring worth more than $1 million. Mrs Thompson says to win the competition would be a great result for the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Marlborough being such a romantic destination, it would be nice to know that the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate couple comes from here as well.â&#x20AC;? The competition is based on the number of online votes the
couples receive for each of the 13 challenges they complete, including poem writing, designing a comic strip, and recounting their ultimate date. With the final challenge looming - a videoed public display of affection - the couple are trying to rally the region to get them over the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to think quite big for that,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may plan something
in town and obviously try and gather a large group of people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be great if we could get the people of Marlborough behind us and put Blenheim on the map for something positive. Votes close on December 4 and people can vote for each of the completed challenges. If you want to help Shaun and Ruth, go to http:// www.my22ct.com/profile/1690
White ribbons mark end to violence By Celeste Lodewyk If you condemn violence against women then you will be helping to support White Ribbon Day tomorrow. Family Planning Health Promoter Michelle Dawson will be highlighting the issue by tying white ribbons around the trees at Seymour Square. Each ribbon will have a medallion attached with a statement and statistic to it for the public to read. Family Planning is just one of many who are committed to ending violence within families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Ribbon Day offers men the opportunity to be part of the solution to end violence against women,â&#x20AC;? Michelle says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By tying ribbons up, I am hoping that peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curiosity will lead them to read the medallions and gain more awareness into the issue.â&#x20AC;? The white ribbons will be in Seymour Square for the whole of tomorrow.
Family Planning Health Promoter Michelle Dawson will be tying white ribbons around trees at Seymour Square on Thursday to help raise awareness of violence towards women.

9OUR PERSONALITY /UR EXPERTISE
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a name? A brief history: Chaytors Road With Mark Stevenson First National
There are a number of Chaytor streets and avenues in New Zealand: Wellington, Te Puke, Pamerston North and Burnham all have one. Spring Creek, with Chaytorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Road, has the first claim. The difference with the Marlborough road is that it is named for the local family that has lived there since 1881. Members have also been major landowners in other areas of Marlborough. An outstandingly high-achieving member of a highachieving family, it is Major General Sir Edward Walter Clervaux Chaytor (1868-1939) after whom the streets and avenues in other areas of New Zealand are named. Local historian John Orchard said that Edward was born into a family tradition of army service starting with the Clervaux family in the time of Henry VIII. A sheepfarmer on the family property â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marshlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Sir Edward attended Robin Hood Bay School then Nelson College. He became a war hero and the General Officer of New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s armed forces in 1919. He was both an outstanding administrator and an inspirational leader in the field of battle. Seven times mentioned in dispatches, and first knighted in 1918, he was made a KCMG, a KCVO and a Companion of the Most Honourable Order Of the Bath. He is described as being of a placid nature even in moments of great stress. This earned him, Mr Orchard said, the ironic nickname of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terrible Tedâ&#x20AC;?. After retirement in 1924 he lived in England with his family, dying in London in June 1939. Proudly sponsored by...

Job shortage Dear Ed, In response to your story â&#x20AC;&#x153;Job Shortage Hits Hardâ&#x20AC;?, my husband was made redundant over 2 months ago from Mitre 10 Mega along with many others. All of whom had been employed by them for several years. We unfortunately had to apply for the dole as I am only working part-time and my boss was unable to increase my hours. WINZ told me I had to apply to get fulltime work also although it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t me who had been made redundant and I have a job. We have to report every week with my hours that I have worked and the benefit is adjusted accordingly. The jobs we have applied for seem to be phantom jobs as the jobs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be there even when advertised and after we have been for interviews. I was told by one employer that I had the job but at the moment they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to hire me due to the recession. My husband has applied for many jobs and phoned after several weeks of waiting, to be told they need workers but just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to do interviews etc. R & K, Heading South
Roundabout needed To the Editor, How long is it going to take before the council puts in a roundabout on the intersection of Rapaura Rd and SH1 Spring Creek. The accidents at the intersection have been extremely bad with alot of near misses, how many people need to die or be injured before we get some action. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that alot of people dont know how to abide by the road rules at this intersection. Please council do your job for once. Annoyed resident

Keep plants healthy in summer oming garden could be your aim for summer, but if your gardening plans are to come to fruition you need a summer maintenance routine.
Be enchanted 9OUNG CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF RACE COLOUR OR CREED ARE WELCOME TO COME AND PLAY IN 4HE %NCHANTED 'ARDEN
PROVIDING THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT TO ACCOMPANY THEM
One of the most important things to include in your routine is the regular watering of your plants. In the hot and humid weather, this is the time when our plants need some extra care and love and like humans, plants will get thirstier and begin to wilt if not provided enough water. Regular and planned watering can help your plants stay healthy. Try to avoid watering them during the hottest part of the day, and
instead do so when it is cooler such as early morning or late afternoon. Watering a night is unwise as the water will tend to sit longer and create a damp environment for your plants. This can increase the chances of fungal growth. By using plenty of good mulch, you can help to prevent loss of water through evaporation. This can be one of the most cost effective ways of conserving water in the garden.

Creepy crawlers invade As the warm weather sweeps over Marlborough, so do the creepy crawly house invaders. Walter McMurtrie, owner and operator of The Spiderman Pest Control has been busy with numerous callouts all over the region. According to Walter there have been a lot of White Tail spiders in the last six weeks, a problem only worsened by the approaching summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Tails are at their worst during summer as their eggs hatch in temperatures over 20 degrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can appear anywhere as they are hunters and go looking for other spiders to eat or females to mate with,â&#x20AC;? he says.
Blowf ly season has also arrived he says, although the little flies have not arrived in numbers as yet but Walter expects them to arrive around Christmas time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blow flies drop off in summer and come back in autumn, where as large numbers of little flies are due to arrive soon.â&#x20AC;? Two pesky critters, the ant and the cockroach are expected to be particularly bad this year, says Walter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marlborough had ants all through winter this year which is the first time I have seen this in seven-years. Ants swarm like bees so when they arrive, they will be in large numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cockroaches have been

But for local man Gordy McCallum, flies have brought him both

Drive in the right gear Inappropriate low or high gear driving causes over-consumption of fuel. Change into the most appropriate gear as quickly as possible without accelerating any more than necessary. Keep to the speed limits Just in case you need another reason to stick to within the speed limits, higher speeds result in higher fuel consumption levels, so at the higher speed levels on the open road – stick to the limits.

• Have your car checked or serviced before starting on your holiday to minimise the inconvenience of a breakdown. • Check the pressure of your tyres and make sure your registration and WoF is current, and if you own a diesel, buy plenty of RUC for the holidays. • Get adequate rest and a good night’s sleep before setting off on a long road trip. Avoid driving at times you would normally be asleep, late at night or early morning are high risk times for fatigue crashes. • If fatigued, pass the driving over to another driver, provided they are less fatigued, or quickly find a safe area where they can pull off the road to have a short powernap 20 minutes is recommended. • Enjoy your holiday!

Sun Healthy Bodies
Take care in the sun this year Slip, slop, slap and wrap to protect yourself and your family from sunburn. Never get sunburnt. No matter what your skin type, sunburn can lead to melanoma later in life. Remember, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be bright red to be sunburnt. Any change of colour can lead to skin damage. Being SunSmart in New Zealand is crucial. Our unique environment makes us particularly vulnerable to damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. New Zealand has clear skies and is closer to the sun in summer. Add to these, the typical Kiwi outdoor lifestyle and some very fair skin types, New Zealand has one of the highest melanoma death rates in the world.
Cancer Society SPF30+ Sunscreen is very high protection against New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harsh UV radiation. All Cancer Society sunscreens provide broad spectrum protection, which means they protect from both UVA and UVB radiation, and are water resistant for up to two hours.
How do I take a balanced approach to sun exposure in New Zealand? From September to April when average UV Index levels are 3 and above
Fair to Olive skin (Fitzpatrick skin types I â&#x20AC;&#x201C; IV)
Naturally very dark skin (Fitzpatrick skin types V â&#x20AC;&#x201C; VI)
During spring and summer, sun protection is advised, especially between the hours of 11am and 4pm or whenever UV Index* levels reach 3 and above. The five SunSmart steps are: use of shade, sunhat, sunglasses, sun protective clothing & broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen on exposed skin.
If you have naturally very dark skin (that does not sunburn), it is not necessary to wear sunscreen but you should still wear a sunhat and sunglasses to protect your eyes. Vitamin D supplementation may be required but you should consult your doctor about this.
A few minutes of sun exposure to the face, arms and hands (or equivalent area of skin) on most days of the week outside peak UVR periods, i.e. before 11am or after 4pm, is thought to be sufficient for adequate vitamin D.
More sun exposure (up to 3-6 times the exposure level of fair to olive skin) may be required for adequate vitamin D.
Please note that this is a guideline only. To check your skin type go to: http://www.sunsmart.org.nz/being-sunsmart/who-needs-be-careful/skin-types/skin-types *To check todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UV Index in your region, go to: www.sunsmart.org.nz/uvi If you are concerned about your vitamin D levels, see your doctor.

Poppy Thai dedicates success to Blenheim
-/. &2) AM PM 3!4 AM PM 1UEEN 3TREET 0HONE
Thai cuisine reflects Thai history. It evolved from a combination of foreign influence throughout history which has given us what we treasure today. The Poppy Thai Restaurant on Scott Street originated from a food passionate family and has been in Blenheim for nearly 10-years. Owned by Danny Ching and his family, Poppy Thai first began in Christchurch in 1994 and has since grown to encompass five-family owned and award winning restaurants throughout the South Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves in having a family originated business and wish to thank the continued support of our Marlborough locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the support in Blenheim, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been as successful in Christchurch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of Cantabrians knew us from Blenheim,â&#x20AC;? Danny laughs. What makes Poppy Thai unique is itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability
to blend a diverse range of flavours and use fresh herbs and spices to create delicious meals that everyone loves. Poppy Thai cuisine embodies influences from Japan, China and neighbouring countries such as Cambodia and Vietnam. When dining at Poppy Thai, waiting staff consist of a multicultural bubble that is truly colourful, bright, enthusiastic, cheerful disposition and overall, have a true desire to serve others. In the kitchen, two qualified chefs have been personally â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hand pickedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and have extensive experience - including work in five-star restaurants. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, they grow their own herbs including the Kaffir lime leaves which are widely used in their soups, curries and fresh salads. To sample the Poppy Thai experience, book today for lunch or dinner.

Marlborough prominent in Air New Zealand wine awards Marlborough has enhanced its reputation as one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere wine-making regions, picking up five top awards at the 2010 Air New Zealand Wine Awards on Sunday. Marlborough white wines were to the fore as they scooped the top Suavignon Blanc, Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Dessert Wine and Open White Wine. Wine Marlborough General Manager Marcus Pickens says it was fantastic to see the spread of medals across a wide range of varieties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes without saying that we are internationally famous for our Sauvignon Blanc. However, these awards demonstrate that there are a number of other varieties that we produce here in Marlborough that are equally world class.â&#x20AC;? The region also picked up eight of a total 14 Pure Elite Gold Medals awarded to wines that are 100% sustainably grown and produced and recognised as being outstanding gold medal wines.

New Beach Volleyball Blenheim is now the home of a brand new $50,000 two-court beach volleyball facility. Marlborough Volleyball announced the opening of the fully enclosed complex at Landsdowne Park this week, which will be open year-round and accommodate all levels of beach volleyball. Excavation and building of the courts has been carried out by local companies Gills Construction and Marcus Hammond Builders. The official opening will take place on Saturday, followed by the Nautilus Estate King and Queen of the court competition featuring top New Zealand volleyball players, celebrity matches, a serving competition, and matches set up for the public. Anna Scarlett the face of beach A spokesperson for Marlborough Volleyball says Marlborough has volleyball
been developing the sport within schools successfully for the last 25 years, with many athletes reaching national and international success. Marlborough Volleyball Club says the facility will be a key ingredient in developing volleyball within the region. The spokersperson says, once the facility is up and running, Marlborough will be able to host several summer events of a calibre similar to events hosted by Tasman Volleyball. The 2010 Beach Volleyball League will run every Tuesday from Nov 30 until December 21, and registrations are now open. If you want to play beach volleyball, contact Roy on 0273255788, or at titheridge@clear.net.nz.
Pigeon race results This week the birds were released on Saturday morning at 8:00am from Christchurch. The first bird, owned by Morrins Hollow, arrived home at 11:13am. Results: 1st Morrins Hollow, 2nd C. Kirkwood, 3rd Shirley Morrison, 4th A. Jones, 5th J. Webb, 6th S. Kirkwood, 7th James, 8th J. and G. Peart.

Spirits high after cup win
VICTORS: Eastern States Titans stock car team members Ricco Gray and Gavin Marshall with the North v South Teams Cup and ribbon.
By Celeste Lodewyk Eastern States Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation on the national racing front is continuing to climb with each season, and as of this month the club has added another cup to the trophy cabinet. The Titans stock car team raced in Christchurch on November 12 and 13 to compete alongside the Canterbury Crushers for the North v South Teams Cup for 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and won. This is the first season that this challenge has run and for a first time effort, Titans team captain Ricco Gray says spirits are high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we did well. We have a new team this year and I think we can take this success and high team spirit right through to the New Zealand Championship,â&#x20AC;? he says.
Four NZ teams competed including Palmerston Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s KBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cowboys, Wanganui Vulcans, Canterbury Crushers and Eastern States Titans. Each team had four drivers. Titans drivers were Ricco Gray, Gavin Marshall and brothers Sam and Zac Thompson. On Friday night the Titans took on the two North Island teams and lost both rounds, as did the Crushers. Saturday night saw the top cars from each of the teams compete for the North v South Cup in a nine on nine teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. Titans driver Sam Thompson won first place for this round and after the disqualification of the Crushers and KBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cowboys, the Titans were placed second overall.
Brothers vie for top 10 position Brothers and race rivals, Robert Flood and Daniel Flood are aiming for a top 10 finish in the DHL Interislander Speedweek. Thirty-two South Island saloon cars are currently battling it out for supremacy, including our own local boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mark Pengally, Paul Cambie, Shane Scott, Daniel Flood and Robert Flood. The seven-day series began on November 20 at Ruapuna and finishes here in
Blenheim this Sunday. For Robert, the 2010/2011 season is his second with his 2009 Lovelady Saloon car after starting our four-years ago in a stock car. Last year Robert won the Eastern States Speedway Sports Person of the Year, Saloon Car Open and Closed Club Champs, Overall Points Standing and second place in the Radiator Services Saloon Car Invasion.
For Daniel this season is his first and although he has only had two meetings to put his car through its paces, he remains intent on a top 10 position. For the brothers, speedway has always run thick in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood with father Tony Flood having raced saloon cars when they were young. He has since remained a staunch supporter, pit crew member and financial backer for Robert and Daniel.
