By Celeste Lodewyk. Marlborough has outshone the rest of the country again - and this time it has been in the form of an ice cream. Tip Top has announced that Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough are the number one scoop region in the country.

What’s more, the Renwick Dairy is the top cone ice-cream selling dairy in the region. Having just received the news last week, Rata said it was an honour to be named by Tip Top. “The staff and I are over the moon.” She said it was not an uncommon sight in

RENWICK PIES: The infamous Renwick Pies are loved by all and are made by a local family business. Pictured are; Chloe Devir, Paul Adcock, Marie Gee, Sue Boon and Carol Power.

Pies loved by all By Celeste Lodewyk Times may be changing but the infamous ‘Renwick Pies’ are not. There are some recipes you just do not mess with, says Paul Adcock who alongside his brother runs the Renwick Meat Market. The Renwick pie has been a favourite in our community for around 15-years, and most people would agree that it has reached icon status. It has even won awards in the past including ‘Best Pie in Marlborough’. The family owned and operated

butchery and bakery on High Street in Renwick is owned by Graeme and Bev Adcock and run by brothers Paul and Ian. The family built the butchery nearly 30-years ago where they initially began making the pies, before increasing the size of the business to incorporate the bakery. Today, around 2000 pies are made fresh each day by the bakery’s ‘Pie Ladies’ and then sent out all over Marlborough including Kaikoura, Picton and as far as Nelson. “We pump a fair few out,� Paul laughs.

Trusted for generations

With around 10 f lavours including the popular ‘steak and cheese’, the popularity of the Renwick Pie comes down to the quality ingredients used, Paul says. “Dad has always believed that quality comes first and has always kept the recipes the same.� And the secret behind the Renwick Pie recipe? “There is no secret, we make our own pastry, cook all the fillings from scratch and don’t cut any corners. “It’s a good quality and honest pie,� Paul says.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2011 Havelock Mussel Festival on Saturday March 19. The Topp Twins and The Beat Girls will be performing, plus young young local band Remastered and other favourites, while families with young children will be catered for in NIWA Kidzone. Celebrity cooks will create samples for the audience along with a taste of wine. Other features include fun, mussel-related competitions, on-water displays and food, wine and beer stalls, jewellery and craft stalls. For more details visit: www.havelockmusselfestival.co.nz

Lotto prize just claimed Blenheim’s Lucky Lotto winner, who took the $500,000 prize in the draw of Saturday October 22, picked up the prize at the Lotteries Commission office in Wellington yesterday. The winner has asked for privacy, but did divulge that it came from a Lucky Dip ticket. A Lotteries Commission spokesperson said the winner had checked the prizewinners on the internet on the Saturday night and saw it came from Blenheim. The win was a big shock and it had taken time to figure out what to do. The plan is to pay the mortgage off, then find investment opportunities. �They are taking time to make decisions to make sure it lasts,� the spokesperson said.

Hospital main entrance opens The new main entrance at Wairau Hospital was shown to the community yesterday, when maternity, paediatrics and outpatients departments were also opened for viewing from 4-6pm. Project manager Martin Ridgway said patients and equipment from the paediatrics, and maternity areas would be shifted on Friday morning. They had organised double staffing rosters in those areas for that day he said. Though final commissioning and checking were already completed, they would also have

contracting staff on standby in case of unexpected issues. The new Outpatients and Oncology facilities will be operational from November 16 and the day stay unit and dental services areas will be relocated on November 17 he said. A new reception area, staffed by volunteers, sits just beyond the entrance with its huge steel canopy. That stands five and a half metres tall and nine metres wide. It has been constructed of nine steel beams and weighs 1.622 tonnes. Mr Ridgway said that with the opening of the new entrance,

the movement of traffic through Gate 3 would become one way, allowing for the drop off of patients before vehicles moved into the car parks. There was now additional technology which saw Inpatient Ward doors shut until official visiting hours between 11.30 and 7.30pm, though access at other times could be arranged with staff , he said. The hospital redevelopment moves into Stage 4 on Monday November 8. That includes the refurbishment of the old paediatric and maternity wards for Mental

Health services, which have been scattered around the site in old houses and other buildings. Their premises, and the new hospital kitchen, are due for completion by February 2011. The new cafĂŠ for staff and visitors opposite the main entrance will be occupied by early December. The end of Stage 4 will mark the completion of the two-year-long $46.7m project which was on track to meet time and budget deadlines, Mr Ridgway said. “Barring unexpected events.â€?

Renwick wins ice-cream title Continued from page 1. Avid ice-cream lovers and regular visitors to the Renwick Dairy Ryan Trotter 13-years, and Liam Byrne 12-years were enjoying a cone ice-cream when the Sun visited. “�My favourite is the mint

and cookies and cream and the best ice-creams are from the Renwick Dairy, Ryan said. “I love the chocolate flavour,� Liam said. “And I like that you can see the ice-cream being put together, they are really generous here in Renwick.

The annual Tip Top SCOOP Index released last week shows how much ice cream is being eaten in each region, pin pointing those scooping the most and which flavors are the favourite. The Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough region were

recorded at 5.76 scoops per person with vanilla in first place, hokey pokey in second and boysenberry in third. “We have around a dozen flavors but I would say our two top sellers are cookies and cream and boysenberry,� Rata said.

Gift to Marlborough redevelopment Local business support hospital Local expertise and generosity are a feature of the redeveloped Wairau Hospital. In the reception area four spectacular glass panels, with designs created as a gift by local artist Rick Edmonds, feature sandblasting work by engraver Debbie Wasiolek. Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors sponsored the glass and Debbie’s time. Sowman’s manager Barry Hayman said they were extremely pleased with the results. “Debbie did a great job with the sandblasting.� “We look at community projects such as the Wairau Hospital redevelopment as an opportunity to show our support and put money back into the community.� Karen Fisher, chair of the voluntary Hospital Liaison Group, says the resulting panels are “stunning�.

“This is a fantastic gift to the region.â€? She said the group had used their contacts and knowledge to access support in many aspects of the redevelopment, including the mobility courtyard in the assessment treatment and rehabilitation area, and the acquisition of framed art and photographs throughout the hospital. That was supported by local photographers, artists and picture framers like John McGurr and Roger Thwaites as well as art dealers. Members of the Woodworking Guild have provided special pieces, including a cross and tables for the chapel. Committee members have also had input into the dĂŠcor and furnishing of the chapel and the planting of the gardens, while Mitre 10 had donated a fountain in the chapel garden.

Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors manager Barry Hayman and Wairau Hosptal project administrator Susannah Findlay showcase four sandblasted glass panels at the new main hospital entrance. The panels were designed by local artist Rick Edmonds and sponsored by Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors.

The playground in the paediatric area, which opened on Tuesday, had been a special project by John Ealand, said Karen. There were many other donations, including significant involvement from service clubs. Karen had a special word of praise for NMDHB redevelopment project administrator Susannah Findlay, who had tied everything together. “She’s a genius.� The Wairau Hospital

redevelopment project has provided employment for hundreds of local tradespeople, with 140 on site at the peak of Stage 1 in May 2009. The timber-framed hospital had required a lot of expertise, project manager Martin Ridgway said. “We made a conscious decision to use timber frame design to provide opportunities for local companies, with its use of local skills, at a time when the residential market has been fairly quiet.�

Civic donations Geoffrey T. Sowman Funeral Directors make a major community donation each year. For 2010, it is the four spectacular sandblasted glass panels, designed by Rick Edmonds, in the Wairau Hospital’s reception area. Sowman’s manager Barry Hayman said other civic donations over the years had included two stained glass windows in Hospice Marlborough’s quiet room, as well as wrought iron fretwork for the band rotunda, the fountain in the Taylor River below the Raupo cafÊ and the stillborn wall and the statue of the soldier, both at Fairhall cemetery.

Local settings favoured by artists

Hunters Winery has invited Nelson based artist Judy Brown to exhibit her ‘Reflections’ garden mirror artworks throughout the winery’s garden.

By Celeste Lodewyk Hunters Winery provides a ‘stunning’ garden setting for artists, says Nelson based artist Judy Brown. Judy was invited as a guest artist to exhibit 14 pieces of her ‘Reflections’ artwork, and as of yesterday began the task of decorating the winery’s garden. The exhibition includes her garden mirrors which have been created using vibrant colours and textures with the use of ceramic, glass beads and stones. “It is an honour to be asked as a guest artist and the gardens are stunning. The natural beauty here really lends to my mirrors,� Judy says. In the past Judy has had works accepted for the Peters Doig Art Awards in Marlborough has sold work locally and nationally. Her garden mirrors have been made to last and have been designed to transform any home, garden or business, she says. “They are all unique, very modern and uplifting.

Another busy long weekend for our police Blenheim Police made 19 arrests over the long weekend, the first after an assault at a High Street address at 10.35am on Friday. A 63-year-old unemployed male was arrested for male assaults female after a domestic incident. He was arrested again later that day for breaching his bail conditions. A 44-year-old male painter was arrested at 9.30pm for threatening to kill and dangerous driving after an incident on October 27. It is alleged the man drove past the woman on Grove Road and waved his fist at her before yelling that he was going to kill her. A short time later she and her partner were driving along Wither Road when the male allegedly crossed over the centre line in his vehicle and drove straight at the vehicle. At the last second the male veered away but remained mostly on the wrong side of the road and it is alleged he only missed colliding with them by a very narrow margin. The male then did a U turn and followed the woman along a number of streets until she and her partner were able to drive to the Blenheim Police station where they

reported the incidents. At 11pm a 44-year-old male invalid beneficiary was arrested for assault after he allegedly headbutted a female at a Spring Creek address. She suffered minor bruising to her nose but did not require medical attention. There were a also number of arrests for court-related charges, including a 25-year-old female sickness beneficiary was for breaching her community work requirements, a 29-yearold male computer technician for failing to appear in court At 1.40pm a 21-year-old unemployed male was arrested for operating a vehicle with unnecessary exhibition of speed. On Saturday at 12.15am an 18-year-old female retail assistant was arrested for offensive language, while at 2.15am a 27-year-old male manager was arrested for trespass. At 3.20am a 22-year-old fisherman was arrested for driving whilst disqualified and driving with excess breath alcohol

(642 milligrams of alcohol per litre of breath). Later that day, an 18-year-old male student was arrested for an offence committed in Weld Street in July. He is charged with possession of utensils and burglary. An 18-year-old unemployed male was also arrested that day for failing to appear in court. Arguing with a young man and his girlfriend on the side of the road in Scott Street led to the arrest of a 39year-old male beneficiary at 1.30am on Sunday. He was arrested for disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence after he allegedly intimated he wanted to fight the male. A bouncer from a licensed premise intervened and the male and his girlfriend walked away. The male was then refused entry to the licensed premises and the male attempted to start a fight with him. A passing Police patrol subsequently intervened. At 1.40am a 54-year-old male chef was arrested for indecent assault after an incident in a licensed premise involving another male. That afternoon, a 25-year-old male tourist was arrested for shoplifting and possession of cannabis, and a 26-year-old male vineyard worker was arrested for breaching his bail conditions.

9OUR PERSONALITY /UR EXPERTISE

What’s in a name? A brief history: Redwood Street With Mark Stevenson First National

Thomas Redwood JP was an early Marlborough colonist and it is for him that the name Redwoodtown, and the Redwood Pass are named. For some years Thomas was a member of the Provincial Council Executive, one of the first governing bodies of the district, and was a member of the Wairau Licensing Committee. A key date for the borough is recorded by A. Beverly in ‘The First One Hundred’ when, we are told, in March 1885 Thomas Redwood subdivided 325 acres in Redwoodtown. Thomas was the son of Henry, an even more well-known pioneer whose knowledge of horses and breeding saw him labelled “Father of the New Zealand Turf “ (The Encyclopaedia of New Zealand. 1966) Thomas was 20 when the family arrived in Nelson and soon after, his father Henry imported seven thoroughbred stallions, including the famous sire Sir Hercules, and 20 brood mares. The encyclopedia entry says: ‘Horses carrying his colours of black jacket and red cap won many trophies and it is said that New Zealand owes to him the importation of some of its best racing strains.’ Proudly sponsored by...

More of the same Dear Ed It was good to see the great turnout of the general public at the first full meeting of the council. Full marks to deposed councillors Tom Harrison and Liz Davidson for turning up to show their continuing interest in the work of the council. However, it soon went downhill, with the new council going into public-excluded private conflab after the deputy mayor and committees

were sorted out. Not that it took much sorting – not one councillor made any comment on the Mayor’s recommendations. Were all those promises about “increased transparency� just hot air? Are they all going to “get in behind� like the last lot? It already looks dangerously like more of the “same old same old�. Argus

Council Commitees and Members

Alistair Sowman congratulates his deputy Jenny Andrews on her appointment and below Jamie Arbuckle signs his declaration

Mayor Alistair Sowman says he nominated Jenny Andrews as deputy mayor to fulfil the community function of the mayoralty. In his first address to the new council last Thursday, he said his focus this term would be to support Marlborough through the downturn. It was therefore important that the deputy was widely connected and close to the community they had to serve, he said.

�I need a deputy who understands the disciplines of the role and with whom I have a tested working relationship. �Councillor Andrews has functioned well in the role and the maintenance of her very high level of voter support confirms her standing in the community.� Because of the “significant� changes to the line-up, he said one of his priorities would be

to help councillors settle into constructive working relationships with each other as quickly as possible. He told the new councillors that given the new make-up of the council, they were all expecting to see some changes ahead. “The committee chairs are going to be pivotal in ensuring that we manage that process of change.�

Former All Black back where it all began Leon MacDonald talks to Damian George news@blenheimsun.co.nz Former All Black Leon MacDonald’s rugby career has taken him all over the world and, now, back to the humble roots where it all began for a talented teenager. After being summoned by then Crusaders coach Wayne Smith while playing for Marlborough as a 19-yearold, MacDonald went on to play 122 matches for the franchise, 56 tests for the All Blacks, and 37 for Canterbury. With a wealth of knowledge and experience soaked up, he has returned to Blenheim this year after a second stint playing in Japan to take up a dual role as Tasman assistant coach, and Nelson Rugby Academy manager. “The role really suited me, being a Blenheim boy,� MacDonald says. “It was a really nice fit. When I finished playing, I wanted, in one way or another, to be involved in rugby at some level. I was really excited by the idea of it.� As a keen rugby player and cricketer – he represented Marlborough when they won the national Hawke Cup title in the 1993-1994 season - MacDonald recalls the fun of growing up in the small coastal town. “I enjoyed Blenheim, maybe because it was easy to play sport with friends. You could just jump on a bike and head down to the park or the cricket nets. “And because it was a small town, it enabled you to get opportunities you may not have otherwise had in a big city.� One of those opportunities was his call-up to the “Red Devils� in 1994, where he was the youngest player in the side. “I’d played rugby and cricket with adults when I was quite young, so it wasn’t too different. The older guys took me under their wing and really made me feel welcome.� After winning four super rugby titles with the Crusaders following his debut as a 19-year-old in 1997, MacDonald moved to the Japanese town of Iwata in 2004 to play for professional club

Yamaha Jubilo. He returned the next year to regain his All Blacks jersey, and a place in the 2007 World Cup squad, before a second stint in Japan last year, this time for the Kintetsu Liners in Osaka. “Our kids were younger when we went over the first time, and we really enjoyed the change of lifestyle living in a small town. “The second time was a lot different. We were living in a big city, and we had a big group of Kiwis living over there with us. “It was great, but it was really good to get home as well. There aren’t many places round the world as good as New Zealand,� he says. MacDonald has no definite plans regarding his coaching future and, for the moment, is content to learn his trade at the Makos and assist the development of a young team. “It’s only my first year, so there’s been lots of learning,� he says. “Over the next two or three years, we can really build a strong team and that will come with experience. I’ll continue here and find my feet and keep learning.� The Makos are resigned to the Championship [second division] competition next year after finishing outside the top seven this year, but MacDonald says that is not a bad thing. “I think there’s a bit of a misconception with this championship. You still get the chance to play teams in the top division, just not all of them. “We had 14 new guys this year so it’s probably actually better for our own development to be playing teams at our level.�

Voice found TomTom today announced Ben Harper as the winner of the ‘Be The Voice of New Zealand’ competition. The Kiwi vernacular of Harper will soon be heard by thousands of New Zealanders and potentially millions of TomTom users worldwide. During a month-long search, Harper beat out more than a thousand hopeful entrants to emerge as the next TomTom GPS voice of New Zealand. In addition to directing thousands of Kiwis around the country, Ben wins a Suzuki Swift RS valued at $22,900. “Being named as the new and iconic Kiwi voice for TomTom is so crazy! It’s amazing. To also win a Suzuki Swift RS, that’s just the icing on the cake,� said Harper. “If you saw my current unwarranted, and unregistered, piece of mechanical goodness, you’d understand how totally stoked I am. I just hope that overseas TomTom users can understand the accent.� Ben is originally from Canterbury, but is currently living and studying in Auckland.

Biggest losers A goal to fit into a wedding dress has turned into the first ever weight loss competition amongst staff at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology. NMIT’s Biggest Loser Competition started this week. The winner will be the person who lost the greatest percentage of body fat over the next seven weeks. Fifty staff, including the Chief Executive Tony Gary, have signed up and have been measured by applied fitness students as their baseline. The idea came out of a discussion in the staff room between NMIT staff Loren Aberhart and Grant McNeill. “I was telling Grant how I needed to lose 6 kilos to fit into my wedding dress in January and he was saying how he’d put on weight over winter so we decided to work out a motivational way to lose weight. We came up with the Biggest Loser

Grant McNeil says they were hoping maybe 30 people would sign up and were excited when it got to 50. “We’ve got 1 in 5 staff members trying to lose weight which is pretty impressive. “We’ve even got Biggest Loser Free Zone stickers and they’ve gone onto the sweet vending machines,� says Grant McNeill. NMIT Chief Executive Tony Gray was one of the first to sign up. “This is a great staff-initiated idea, and I’m really proud of all the staff who have committed to the competition. To have 20% of the people who work at NMIT staff sign up is inspiring for all of us. Now, the heat’s on me as Chief Executive to lead the way and lose some weight for summer.�

ou’ve spent years dreaming of the day you would walk down the wedding aisle, a

radiant vision in white. Now the ring is on your finger and it’s time to make that dream a reality with a gorgeous Summer Wedding. Summer is the number one most popular time of year to get married, and for good reason too. Summer weddings are full of sunshine and warmth, and allow you to get married outside in good weather. Take full advantage of the season and all it has to offer you when planning your summer wedding with these tips and ideas.

The Setting for Your Summer Wedding Summer weddings are ripe for an outdoor setting such as a beach, a

garden, or a beautiful back yard. Take advantage of the long days with an afternoon wedding, or highlight the glorious sunsets by saying your vows as the sun goes down behind you. Simply filling a large vase with bright yellow lemons helps convey the warmth of the day. Bring light to an evening wedding with torches and strings of lanterns in the trees. An extra-summery idea is to use gingham tablecloths with a few sunflowers in metal watering cans as centerpieces, giving a real outdoors feel.

Wedding Dresses & Attire for the Bridal Party

T

he bride who marries in the warmth of Summer is a lucky one; over 75% of dresses that you’ll find are sleeveless and/or strapless, making them perfect for the season. Look for light fabrics such as organdy, linen, chiffon, crepe, georgette, and other light weight silk, so as to not add too much bulk.

t a beach wedding, look for an easy and elegant slip dress such as Carolyn Bissette wore when she married John F. Kennedy Jr. in Hyannisport. The bridal party can all go barefoot, and the men can wear dress shirts with slacks, or linen suits. For a garden wedding, ; consider big straw hats, either for just you or for all the bridesmaids. You might choose brightly colored dresses or short floral cocktail dresses for the bridesmaids to really evoke the season. The men in the bridal party can go for the classic navy blazer with khaki slacks, or beautiful suits. For a more formal affair, there’s no reason not to choose morning suits or tuxedos (depending on whether it’s an evening or daytime wedding) but give a nod to the season by replacing the black tuxedo jacket with a natty white dinner jacket. Of course, for all the women in the bridal party (and some of the men!), you must think about what heat, humidity and moisture will do to your hair. Most importantly, don’t try to fight your hair in the summer: straight hair will get straighter and limper, and wavy hair will get wavier and frizzier. Updos by a professional who will design a long-lasting style are one of your best bets. A crown of flowers, or a single large flower tucked into your hair will look summery and beautiful.

our Wedding Cake will be the main attraction of your Wedding Reception and every Bride and Groom want theirs to be the best. Cakes have been associated with weddings as long ago as Roman times, when bread was broken over the happy couple’s heads during the reception for good luck and any dropped crumbs were picked up and eaten by the guests for good luck. The wedding cake remains a prominent feature of today’s wedding reception, usually sitting on an elegantly adorned table with a feature ornament or flower arrangement positioned on top of the cake. The cutting of the cake by the bride and groom is a much-photographed

part of the wedding ritual and is regarded by some photographers as being of such importance that a staged cutting is photographed during the photo session before the reception. There are certainly no hard and fast rules when it comes to the cake. Imaginations run riot and creativity is to the fore. Because of the large selection available, you will want to look at as many different styles as possible before making a decision. Your cake maker will have a portfolio of options, so look carefully and add your own creative input to suit the theme of your wedding. Don’t shy away from colour either. Your cake can be trimmed to co-ordinate with your overall colour scheme, either in delicate pastels or bold, bright shades.

Picton Wine Festival November 5th, 2010 For five-years the Picton Wine Club has been matching some of the best wine the region and country has to offer with magnificent morsels from Picton’s Le Cafe. Now the club is gearing up for the first Picton Wine Festival on November 5 to celebrate its anniversary in style. Sixteen wineries will present their top drops at the Mercure Hotel, with free tastings and excellent knowledge about the wines on offer. Le Cafe’s Peter Schoni will recreate some of his best wine match morsels, for guests to taste. Anyone over the legal drinking age is welcome to celebrate with us. Club members are encouraged to bring friends. The presenting wineries have all previously shown their wines at a club tasting and will let us taste their new releases, as well as some of their special wines. Tickets for the event, at $25, and must be pre-purchased from Sounds Connection, London Quay, Picton or by calling 03 5735337. Local restaurants are offering special dinner prices for those who attend the festival, though bookings are essential. Profits from the event will be donated to the Marlborough Hospice.

Warmer than usual Summer looms From November to January Blenheim and Marlborough are, like the rest of the country, likely to experience warmer than usual temperatures. The forecast is also for normal or below normal rainfall, with easterly and northerly winds. â€?There are very clear signals about that,â€? said Georgina Griffiths, a climate scientist with the National Climate Centre, in Auckland. NIWA has reported that a moderate to strong La NiĂąa is well-established in the tropical Pacific, and may strengthen further through the rest of 2010. NIWA’s data for October showed it was a “spectacularly sunnyâ€? month throughout the country, with many sunshine records broken. â€?But not in Blenheim,â€? Georgina Griffiths said. While NIWA was still collating our data for the last three days in October, with 244 hours of sun Blenheim was at 109 per cent of normal for the month.

Surfers shine Standout performance from local surfers By Celeste Lodewyk Four local surfers have done our region proud at the recent Cape Classic Surfing Competition at Tauranga Bay near Westport on Labour Weekend. With $8000 worth of prizes up for grabs the competition attracted 115 surfers from all over New Zealand including Blenheim’s Mike Lindstrom, Hamish Simpson, Tara Smith and Igor Ishida Coura. The four surfed their hearts out to achieved strong finishes across most divisions, with the standout weekend performance coming from Mike, a 16-year-old Marlborough Boys’ College student. Mike (pictured surfing) took out third place in the cadets. Hamish 36-years made it through to the semi-finals of the masters while

Tara 19-years finished third in the open women’s. “Our local surfers did really well with the surfing world really standing up and taking notice,� said Hamish. “I was watching Mike’s heat and I have never seen him surf so well. Who would have thought that kids from Blenheim are now mixing it with the best on a national level.� Mike and Hamish surf for Nelson Boardriders which allows them to enter competitions on a national level, though Hamish said Blenheim is a good spot for surfing. “There are a lot of average breaks within half an hour’s drive from town and for those wanting to learn to surf, summer is usually great as the waves are small most of the time,� he said.

Little Stars, big stage presence Some groovy costumes plus great singers and dancers make for stage success... Last week the combined Marlborough Boys’ and Girls’ Colleges junior production –Little Stars proved an instant success with full audiences for both the Thursday and Friday performances. The show centred on a TV show called Little Stars and was based on the behind the scenes view of an ‘Idol’ show. It followed the five show finalists and their parents throughout the singing competition while including flash backs to their regional auditions. MBC English and drama teacher Kristine Hudson who took on the director’s role for the first time said Little Stars showcased the outstanding talent of the combined college’s junior students. “It was really funny and had a combination of high energy, enthusiasm and a talented cast of over 60 actors,

singers, dancers and musicians.” The three show ‘judges’ were a delightful paradoy on all the judging panels we see so much of on Idol shows, while the singers and musicians all deserved accolades for outstanding performances, said Kristine. “Musical Director Barbara Song and Choral Tutor Con O’Brien did a wonderful job of bringing so many young singers and musicians up to such a high standard.” One aspect of the show which really stood out waas the choreography done by year 11 MGC student Eliza Elkington. “It was creative and fun, and was designed to show off the skills of the dance troupe,” Kristine said. Costumes created by Annie Gleeson were cohesive in style and colour, makeup and hair enhanced the char-

acters while the show set was simple yet spectacular. At the end of the Friday’s matinee performance, the smiles on the faces of the audience confirmed the instant success of the show. “It was an awesome production, really exciting and it makes you want to follow the storyline right through to the end,” said Fairhall School student Illesha Dennis. “Groovy costumes, great singers and dancers. You can tell a lot of hard work went into the show,” said fellow student Lucy Partridge.
