TRUE SUPPORT: [From left] Irish and English rugby supporters Daniel O’Halloran, Adrian Smelt and Robert Cronin stopped in Blenheim on Thursday during their road trip from Dunedin to Auckland to witness a famous Irish World Cup victory. The trio attended the Rugby World Cup match between England and Argentina in Dunedin on September 10 [which England won], and were on their way to watch the AustraliaIreland clash on Saturday at Eden Park. All three were picking an Australian victory but their dedication was rewarded when Ireland pulled off its first ever World Cup victory over Australia, winning 15-6. Photo by Damian George.

Everyone gets The Sun Total market coverage in Marlborough

By Damian George It was short and sweet but it looks as though the ten days spent in Marlborough was enough to leave a lasting impression on the Russian World Cup rugby squad. The Russian team, competing in the World Cup for the first time in this year’s tournament, left Blenheim for the final time on Monday. It was yet another memorable occasion for the town’s adopted team as it was farewelled from Chateau Marlborough by a vocal Blenheim

School and several other keen supporters. Rugby World Cup regional project manager Susan Witehira told The Sun many of the Russian squad enjoyed Marlborough so much, it had come to feel “like home”. “Quite a few of them were saying when they went away to New Plymouth [to play USA] and then came back here, they felt like they were coming home,” she says. “That’s the biggest compliment we can get.” It is hard to know who got more out of Russia’s

stint in Blenheim - the local fans or the team itself. “They don’t get this much attention back home - I think they enjoyed [being here] as much as we enjoyed having them,” Mrs Witehira says. “We’ve been really lucky.” Marlborough mayor Alistair Sowman has praised the accessibility of the Russian team, which won fans over with its relaxed attitude.

Tourism operators now ‘in the loop’ By Damian George A new tourism venture is set to give a bigger profile to some of Marlborough’s smaller tourism operators. The Local Loop, a visitor guide mapping out eight of the region’s attractions, was launched in Blenheim last Wednesday. It is a joint venture by the eight businesses, designed to show visitors and locals that there is more to Marlborough than just wine. The trail takes people to some of Marlborough’s tastiest spots like the Makana Chocolate Factory, The Honey Company and Hedgerows Hydroponic strawberry farm, and to attractions including Omaka Classic Cars and Omaka Aviation Heritage Museum.

It also leads people to The River Queen, Vines Village and Traditional Country Preserves. River Queen owner Peter Makin, a co-initiator of the project, says the businesses are hoping it will become a useful tool for people who want to explore Marlborough. “Talking to people here, they weren’t really aware of what there was to do,” he told The Sun. “They knew there was stuff here to do but, when you put them on the spot, they’d say Omaka and maybe say two or three things, but definitely not eight.” Mr Makin and Hedgerows Hydroponic manager Mary RixMiller instigated the project after talking with the other businesses

Let us provide those important pieces for your dream home

about the need to promote their products. The businesses had a meeting on The River Queen and, within six weeks, The Local Loop was launched. “That’s a testament to Kiwi cooperation and trust,” Mr Makin says. He points out the businesses are not looking to be an alternative to wine. Rather, with some cellar doors and wineries on the trail, they are looking to embrace it. Mr Makin says the businesses will refer people to each other to give people “a fuller experience” of Marlborough. The guide was given to various accommodation providers at the launch.

By Damian George The jail sentence handed to a Renwick man for his part in the killing of 23 seals in Kaikoura last year sends a clear message to people about the consequences of animal cruelty, the Department of Conservation [DOC] says. Jason Trevor Godsiff, 20, was sentenced last Tuesday to two years in jail for wilful ill-treatment of the seals after clubbing them to death with a pipe on November 26. Another man, 36-year-old Jamaal Peter Roy Large, from Wairau Valley, faces the same charges. DOC South Marlborough area manager Dave Hayes says the severity of Godsiff’s sentence will help in preventing future attacks on the animals. “The stakes are high [in harming seals], as has been shown by this sentence,” he told The Sun. “I believe this will lead to not seeing a repeat of these sort of incidents.” The seal attack occurred at Ohau Point, after the two men made a stop during their drive home to Blenheim from Waiau, North Canterbury. Among the dead seals were 13 female seals and two bulls. Some were only a few days old. It follows an attack in June last year by a teenager who shot a seal with a paintball gun and bashed it with a metal pole at the Kaikoura seal colony. The offender, 17 at the time, was sentenced to 200 hours’ community work and fined a total of $750. A 20-year-old Southland man received a four-month jail sentence in late 2009 after throwing stones at a leopard seal and dragging it around the beach by its tail in Invercargill. “There are a number of incidents of harm being done to fur seals,” Mr Hayes says. “It would appear the message wasn’t getting through to people before this event.”

Free parking continues The automated pay-as-you-gym parking system at Blenheim’s new Alfred St Car Park is scheduled to be operating by October 3. Marlborough District Council support services manager Dean Heiford says the system has been installed and was finalised on Thursday. Free parking will continue at the car park until the payment system is up-and-running.

Mitre 10 property sale biggest in two years Blenheim’s Mitre 10 Mega store, one of the largest bulk retail properties in the South Island, has sold for an undisclosed sum. The 10,000-square-metre department store sold this month after being on the market since last year. It has been bought by a North Island-based property investor who does not wish to be named - with several other large real estate landholding assets across the South Island. The investor and the property’s salespeople, from Bayleys Nelson-Marlborough, say the sale price is confidential, but a market valuation done last year valued the property at about $13 million. That was based on a rental income of $1.08m and a rental

yield of about eight per cent. Bayleys Nelson-Marlborough director Graeme Vining says, while the sale price cannot be revealed, it is the biggest sale of commercial real estate in Blenheim in the past two years. “This sale is fantastic news for commercial business in Blenheim and it shows that there is a strong underlying confidence in the commercial business sector,” he says. Mr Vining says, because of the magnitude of the sale, the negotiation process took quite some time to conclude. The vendors were father and son building trade entrepreneurs Graeme and David Hawtin, of Blenheim. Bayleys Nelson-Marlborough salesperson Grant Baxter told The

Russia ‘at home’ From Page 1. “Prior to them coming, we had pretty tight security but these guys really got out among the crowd, and Marlborough responded,” he says. “They’re not superstars. Superstars probably wouldn’t do what these guys did.” Mr Sowman says hosting the Russians was very worthwhile as it gave the region a chance to feel a part of arguably the biggest tournament to be held in New Zealand. “Not having a game here, I think this was the next best thing,” he says. “If we didn’t have a team staying here, we’d probably have felt some distance from it.” Chateau Marlborough general manager Lynley McKinnon says it was a pleasure hosting the Russian team. “It was a wonderful experience for us. “We’ll never get a World Cup team stay here again, and it was really good for the town too.” The Russian team left for Nelson on Monday ahead of its second match of the tournament against Italy, due to be played last night. It went down bravely to USA 6-13 in its first ever World Cup match, in New Plymouth, on Thursday. Russian management was unavailable to speak to The Sun yesterday and on Monday.

Big is good: The Mitre 10 Mega property on Alabama Rd has sold for an undisclosed sum.

Sun the reason behind the move was David’s decision to move to Sydney with his wife Lianne to pursue other business interests. Graeme and wife Shirley will continue to own and manage the business. The Mitre 10 Mega store includes 4698 square metres of retail and café space, a 3130-squaremetre drive-through timber and hardware depot, an inwards goods delivery yard, a garden centre, and 498 square metres of mezzanine and ground floor office space. The building sits on 1.86 hectares of land and has more than 200 parking spaces. The store was runner-up in the 2011 Mega Trade Store of the Year.

Marlborough mayor Alistair Sowman met with members of the Renwick Community Memorial Hall committee last Wednesday to hear their concerns about whether the committee is legally allowed to continue. A call was made last week for the committee to be dissolved in order for a “legitimate” committee to be re-elected. The call follows the ongoi ng debat e a s to whether the hall’s ownership should be transferred to the Ministry of Education, to be administered by the Renwick School. Hall committee chairman Jim Cresswell asked the council to become involved in the

Russia on Our Minds Hosting the Russian Team for the Rugby World Cup is a unique opportunity to learn about this amazing country and culture; to extend a genuine welcome and to showcase our town and beautiful province. Last month Ray and I travelled with our friend Kathy to Russia. What an inspiring and enlightening experience! Generally we have a rather uninformed view of this huge country and the enormity of melding together a society which has recently been disassembled and reassembled. In under 100 years they have experienced the 1917 revolution, the birth of communist USSR and more recently in 1991 the emergence of the Russian Federation all of which has impacted on the general population in ways we have no real concept of, and yet they have an enduring spirit which is remarkable!

Russia has a superb history of art & jewellery

Russian gemstones, particularly in historical jewellery, are some of the most marvellous in the world. We saw two 100 carat emeralds, superb Faberge eggs & objets d’art, bejewelled clothing and personal jewellery at the magnificent Hermitage Museum and Palaces in St Petersburg. In the Moscow Metro (surprisingly built by the soviets as ‘palaces for the people’) we saw the most amazing columns, mosaics and lighting which are treasured and respected by the citizens! Even this utilitarian regime that also filled the country with huge, uninspired buildings and living accommodation, recognised that there was a need to provide something of lasting beauty and quality again leaving a legacy of wonder and pleasure. The wonderful jewellery we saw on our travels only adds to our determination to provide the best in manufacture, diamonds and other jewellery so that you, our customer, can have pleasure and a legacy of beauty and value.

“There is a lot of emotion surrounding this issue so the council is trying to work with the hall committee through these issues,” Mr Sowman says. “In the past, the council hasn’t been directly involved but now it’s obvious that we need to refer back to the Deed to ensure the committee is correctly constituted. “We will also be putting forward three council nominees which we hope to have before the council on Thursday.” Once the hall committee is confirmed, a decision on the hall’s ownership can then be made, Mr Sowman says. “My opinion is that the hall committee makes the decision, as long as it is done correctly and according to the Deed.”

Green MP launches documentary By Damian George Green Party MP Keith Locke made his last official visit to Blenheim on Monday for the launch of the documentary film Operation 8. Mr Locke, who has made numerous visits to the town to take part in protests against the Waihopai Valley satellite station, spoke at Top Town Cinemas ahead of the first Blenheim screening of the film. Operation 8 looks at the the anti-terror raids which took place in Tuhoe in October, 2007, and its “violation of human rights”. “I think [the documentary’s] very important to show what can happen and the extent to which

community rights have been violated,” Mr Locke told The Sun. “The Tuhoe raids were just an over-reaction which we shouldn’t allow to happen again.” Mr Locke says the documentary comes at the right time, with the ten-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks marked recently. “There has been an erosion of civil liberties in a number of countries since then,” he says. “Perhaps this is a time to reassess the whole period and how we can downgrade police responses.” Operation 8 will be screening at 4pm from Monday to Wednesday next week.

True grit In today’s generation where vehicles have replaced horses and retail stores are where we source most of our goods, it’s more important than ever to remember the hard work and traditions which were once practised by early settlers, as Celeste Lodewyk discovers.

Photo by Celeste Lodewyk

Ashwood Park RETIREMENT VILL AGE

Brayshaw Park volunteer Ian Lyall has led a very interesting life to date, and now in retirement Ian is more than happy to share his love for working with leather, early military history and the role which horses have played throughout history. To describe Ian at first glance would be to compare him to an early cattle musterer that you might see in an Australian outback film. But up close, Ian has a witty humour and a willingness to share his knowledge and vast collection of saddles, leather work, carvings, animal skins and military memorabilia. Ian’s family stems back to the Otago settlers who left Scotland for the promising shores of New Zealand in 1848. In those days horses were valuable and a necessity, as were the skills associated to handling them. The traditional art of working with leather was one of many skills passed on to Ian when growing up in Koromiko. Originally born in Pahiatua, Ian’s family moved to Marlborough in 1952 where his father managed a dairy factory. Around the age of 8-years Ian’s grandfather came to live with the family, a time in his life which he says helped to shape him into the man he is today. “With my father working seven days a week my grandfather spent a lot of time teaching me how to handle horses and break them in. I broke my first horse in when I was 14 and went on to do it a lot for other people,” he says. Another skill Ian’s grandfather taught him was how to plait and work with leather. “He taught me using flax to start with before giving me leather to work with and now, there isn’t anything I can’t make out of it,” he says proudly. “I get a lot of inspiration from Australian whip makers. They make the best whips from kangaroo hide.” Ian carried on working with horses during his youth, even riding his horse to school, but at age 15 he left school and joined the NZ Forest Services where he worked for 40 years. Horse handling was put on the back burner as Ian spent a number of years traveling for work through Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu.

“I could tell you some interesting stories from my travels but we might be here all day,” he grins. Later in life after starting a family Ian returned to NZ and once his sons began at school, he returned to his primary interest - horses. After returning to Blenheim 30 years ago Ian played a little polo, broke in a number of horses around the region and began making saddles. Aside from his growing interest in all aspects of leather work, Ian also spent many hours researching early military history, particularly mounted rifles. “I have been fortunate that the Marlborough Museum has the memorabilia and books for me to carry this on. “A lot of my interest also came from my grandfather’s stories about the Boer War but mostly it has been something I do for myself,” he says. Taking me on a tour of his garage, Ian points out carvings mounted on the wall, pieces of old leather and hand plaited whips hanging from the ceiling, as well as an old saddle blanket suspended for all to see. “Saddle making and repairing is something I have always enjoyed, and I can confidently say I have made every type of saddle. They are all works of art though I would say the Australian stock saddle would be the most challenging,” he smiles. “I also have genuine saddle bags dated at around 80-100 years old, a genuine Boer War tunic, bandolier and bayonet, a Canterbury Yeomanry Cavalry saddle blanket and a one-off saddle blanket from the 1988 movie ‘Willow’. “My collection doesn’t stop there, I have carvings, jewellery and photographs from when I was overseas including animal skins. You name it I have skinned it,” he says holding a taxidermied baby crocodile. Despite having his vast knowledge and enthusiasm for horse handling, Ian insists he will slowly fade away from working with horses and concentrate on enjoying retirement. And with a shed full of on going projects, Ian says he has plenty to keep him going.

Melanie Old Blenheim

The world has a lot more crime since then. Things have changed for the worse, and there is just no trust.

The world lives in more fear of everyday life in everything we do.

I think security needed to be tighter looking back on things. People are a lot more aware of things now.

No I don’t think a lot has changed. People seem alot more nervous about terrorist attacks.

We are a lot more cautious about life, and definitely more security conscious.

On a recent flight to the States from New Zealand, the security seemed to be a little over the top.

Grateful Mum Dear Ed, I must say a huge thankyou to the lady in Mitre 10 last week who helped me out when my 3 year old decided to be loudly unco-operative. Rather than give evil stares or tuttuts which seem to be the norm these days, she kindly offered to wheel my trolley to the car while my arms were otherwise occupied with restraining my bundle of ‘joy’. It was so nice to see someone who obviously understood the situation,

and who was prepared to help. Parents have limited options when it comes to public discipline these days, and in today’s world it feels almost impossible to administer a firm reprimand without having the label of child abuse levelled at you. The next time you see a child have a tantrum in public, try helping the poor parent out. I know I will. Grateful Mum

Yes to early bus Dear Ed, I agree with Early Bird (August 31). Blenheim’s bus service should start earlier than 9am. Can we get everyone who feels the same to write to Marlborough Roads,

who has contracted Ritchies Transport Holdings Ltd to provide ‘The Blenheim Bus’ service. It would be nice to be able to get Blenheim’s workers to work on time! Bus Boy.

UPGRADE fuel efficient & noise compliant FROSTFAN

Animal transport receives new code of welfare Minimum standards of animal welfare and recommended best practices for everyone involved in transporting animals in New Zealand, are outlined in a new code of welfare issued last week by Agriculture Minister David Carter. The Animal Welfare (Transport within New Zealand) Code of Welfare 2011, developed by the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC), encourages all those responsible for animals during transport to adopt the highest standards of husbandry, care and handling. NAWAC Deputy Chair Hilton Collier says transport can be a time of great stress for animals and it is important that it is done well. “The purpose of this new code of welfare is

to encourage everyone involved to minimise the stress placed on animals by adopting the highest standards before and during transport”. “The code covers all animals and all forms of transport within New Zealand – air, land and sea. Minimum standards cover off important areas like stockmanship, planning, equipment design and maintenance, preparing and selecting animals for transport, loading and unloading, as well as the provision of food, water and rest.” Mr Collier adds that specific requirements for transport in emergencies and emergency humane destruction are also included. The code was drafted and reviewed by representatives of companies and organisa-

Frost – be the boss New Zealand Frost Fans Ltd is a specialist frost fan company that manufactures the Frostboss Range of frost fans. New Zealand Frost Fans is involved in all aspects of frost fan business, from design through to manufacturing as well as field placement, installation and servicing. The Frostboss C49 is the latest development in the range with greatly improved performance, noise and efficiency characteristics. How it works: The C49 was designed in response to the demand for a quieter and more efficient fan. The FrostBoss C49 incorporates all the features of the 2010 FrostBoss. These are the same cabinet design, gearboxes, auto controller, ambient wind

shut off, wireless temperature probes, and an optional Caterpillar or Perkins engine. The C49 is designed to run at 1800rpm with an operating range of 1700 rpm to 1900 rpm if more or less coverage is required. The coverage of a C49 running at 1800rpm is approx six to eight hectare depending on the local climatic conditions. The noise produced by the C49 is approx 6dBA less than the A24 and less again that many other 2-blades. The C49 can be retrofitted to most brands of frost fans. The only thing that needs to be changed is the engine speed, which the service technician would do when changing the fan. For more information contact New Zealand Frost Fans today.

Copies of the code and the explanatory report that accompanies it are available online at http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/regs/ animal-welfare/codes/alphabetically or by request from animalwelfare@maf.govt.nz

Improving grape quality The quality of your grapes solely depends on the care and attention those vines receive throughout the season. The repercussions of wrong advice can hit hard come harvest. As an accomplished vineyard manager and owner of BNC Viticulture Contracting Ltd, Brad Crighton understands what vineyards need for successful, disease free crops while also being sensitive to budgets. From hassle free, comprehensive vineyard management services to spray contracts, leaf plucking, trimming, post-driving, mulching/sweeping, and much more, BNC can help with every aspect of vineyard management. The addition of the new recyclable foliage sprayer is one way BNC is continuing to protect the environment. The award winning recyclable spray unit decreases chemical usage while also substantially reduces drift and wastage, without compromising on quality. In professional trials the unit reduced chemical usage by up to 75-80% (on early season sprays). This technology is highly regarded overseas and is certainly the way of the future. With a fast growing list of clients, bookings are essential to ensure this state-of the-art technology on your block today. Call today for a free quote on 021 955 367. BNC are now servicing 2.2m rows.

We have an upgrade package for most brands of frostfans. We can upgrade your existing frostfan with a new C49 blade system, the most efficient blade in the market. This will save fuel and is noise compliant. Upgrade packages available for: clutches, gearboxes, controllers and remote monitoring systems.

Open day attracts visitors to nature reserve By Leona Plaisier The Tui Nature Reserve, located in the Outer Pelorus Sound in the Marlborough Sounds, held its first open day for students from Nelson and Marlborough on Saturday, September 17. The reserve has been owned and managed by the Plaisier family – Brian, Ellen and their three children Leona, Liam and Esmae for the past 17 years. The family has successfully transformed the peninsula from a barren, weed-ridden landscape to regenerating native bush. They also breed kakariki, geckos and giant weta with the aim of introducing these species to the peninsula. After years of intense pest control and other conservation work to achieve where they are today, the family is now working towards the next step in

their vision of ‘conservation education’. A major part of that was to hold an open day specifically for students from the Marlborough and Nelson region. The open day attracted students from Marlborough Boys’ College, Marlborough Girls’ College, Queen Charlotte College, Rai Valley Area School and Salisbury School. The group of 45 people also included Kaikoura MP Colin King, Ngati Kuia representative Raymond Smith and Department of Conservation Sounds Area Manager Roy Grose. The Plaisier family said the day was a great success, with all the students showing great enthusiasm for conservation and the project. They hope to make the event an annual one.

TROPHY WINNERS: At the recent New World Wine Awards Marlborough wines took home the 'Champion White' and the 'Champion Red' awards. Pictured receiving trophies at the awards night are Craig Wilson - Managing Director Foodstuffs (Wellington) Co-Operative Society, Sasha Grayson - winemaker for Matua Valley (Shingle Peak), Shara Matthews - national trading manager grocery for Pernod Ricard (Jacob’s Creek), Matt Murphy - head winemaker for Mount Riley and Jim Harré - chairperson of the New World Wine Awards.

Two Marlborough wines have been awarded gold medals at the 2011 New World Wine Awards. Shingle Peak’s 2010 Reserve Pinot Noir took out the Champion Red section, and Mount Riley’s 2011 Riesling won the Champion White category. More than 1000 wines were tasted by a panel of 14 judges over two days in this year’s event. Of the 521 medals awarded, 50 were given gold, 135 silver and 336 bronze. Each wine was blind tasted and judged on taste, smell and colour.

Chair of the New World Wine Awards judging panel Jim Harre says the awards were “bigger and better than ever” this year. “The quality of the wines entered demonstrates the high regard winemakers have for the integrity of these awards and the benefits a medal brings in terms of sales and brand awareness of their wines,” he says. A Top 50 selection of award-winning wines will be showcased in the 2011 New World Wine Awards booklet and is now being stocked in New World stores nationwide.

Own a piece of history Smiths City Blenheim is giving Marlburians a chance to purchase a piece of Rugby World Cup history. The store is auctioning off a Size 5 rugby ball signed by all 30 members of the 2011 Russian squad, with proceeds to go to Blenheim charity Bread of Life Centre. This year marks the first time Russia has competed in the quadrennial tournament. Smiths City obtained the Russian signatures on three rugby balls when the team came into the store recently.

Store manager Matt Rainbow says Smiths City Kaikoura will auction off one ball at the Real NZ Festival Kaikoura SeaFest on October 1. The other ball has been given to the Blenheim Volunteer Fire Brigade. To make your bid, leave your name, phone number and bidding price at The Sun office, 72 High St, Blenheim or Smiths City Blenheim at 18 Kinross St. Entries close on September 30.

CRAFT EXPO Saturday - 24 September 2011 9.30 am to 4 pm St. Ninian’s Church Hall 1 Riley Crescent, Blenheim Door Charge: $5 Adult (Children Free) Refreshments available

Craft Expo attracts out of town talent Dolls and bears, glass painting, cake decorating and photography, these plus so much more will be on display this Saturday at a Craft Expo being held at the St Ninian’s Church Hall at the corner of Alabama Road and Riley Crescent.

Proceeds from the Expo will go toward her employment.

The number of stall holders is “incredible”, say organisers who will be hosting the Expo in both halls within the same complex. “We have stall holders from all over the community as well as Picton, Hamilton and Motueka.” An example of crafts on display include beadwork and jewellery, bone carving and silk painting, calligraphy, china painting, embroidery, felting, folk art, pottery, scrapbooking, weaving and woodworking to name a few. There will be a children’s activity area for over five-year olds as well as refreshments. The Expo will run from 9:30am CRAFT EXPO: Rachel Adrian and Norma Noad showing some of to 4pm and the door charge is $5 the painting on t-shirts that they had done for the up and coming per adult (children are free).

A local family is desperately trying to locate their beloved dog who has been missing since Sunday morning. ‘Nippy’ is a 16-year old black and white male Fox Terrier who is partially blind and deaf. In the past Nippy has been lifted over the fence by children to play at the neighbouring Mayfield School. The property’s fences have been raised to prevent this but in this case his family have had no luck locating him. “We are really worried that he won’t find his way home because of his eyesight, so we are urging anyone to call us if they find him,” a family member pleads. Nippy’s family is offering a reward for his return, so if anyone has any information about Nippy’s whereabouts please phone Michael on 021 728 498.

The Great Bake-Off By Celeste Lodewyk The Great Kindergarten Bake-Off is almost here and with it, excitement is growing amongst Redwoodtown Kindergarten students and teachers who are hosting the event on Saturday, October 1. The event is being held to celebrate more than 60 years of kindergarten in Redwoodtown and will feature guest judges Heath Naylor from Figaros Café and Phil Smart, head

chef from the Copthorne Hotel. Already the kindergarten has been inundated with more than 70 entries for what is set to be a highly successful day. Proceeds from the $5 competition entry fees will go towards the purchase of more outdoor equipment and technology for the kindergarten. Family, friends and non-bakers are welcome to go along and place a bid in the ‘decorated cakes’ auction.

The event kicks off at 2pm where baking entries are submitted, which will be followed by a performance by students whilst judging is carried out. The cake auction begins at 3pm after the winners have been announced. Entries for the Great Kindergarten Bake-Off close this Friday, so make sure you contact the kindergarten and fill out an entry form.

Your week in sport

ABs need to make better use of pool matches The All Blacks are probably the only nation at this year’s World Cup which causes as much intrigue in its team selection as it does in its match day performance. Each week, speculation and debate circulates throughout the country about who will be the lucky 15 to take the field for the team’s next assignment. At this point, it should not be that complicated. The All Blacks made seven changes to the starting XV for its second match of the tournament against Japan on Friday. Another three were forced through injury a day out from the match. The result is New Zealand has now played two matches in this year’s tournament, and has not gained a thing.

Don’t be fooled by the 83-7 scoreline against Japan ‘B’. Matches against sides like Japan and Tonga, for a team like New Zealand, are what you make of them. The only thing I can see New Zealand could have gained from these two matches is continuity, a chance for their best XV to gather some momentum. Strangely, the All Blacks coaches have decided there is little merit to that theory. It is strange because they have largely done away with the ‘rotational’ approach from 2007 until now, and because they said they would not re-introduce it in 2011. Using the word ‘opportunity’ does not mask the fact rotation is back. Why else did Keven Mealamu,

Blenheim’s Dragon Boat team seeking recruits

Sam Whitelock, Andrew Ellis, Conrad Smith and Cory Jane replace Andrew Hore, Ali Williams, Jimmy Cowan, Sonny Bill Williams and Isaia Toeva? Graham Henry and co say they are unsure who their best halfback, fullback, locking combination and wingers are. Well, now is the time to decide. Contra r y to the coaches’ ‘competition is good’ mantra, players don’t need the added pressure of playing for their positions every time they take the field. They need the assurance of knowing they are the men entrusted with winning the World Cup, and getting on and doing it. That is how previous teams, including the 1987 All Blacks, have done it in the past.

Open day to attract coaches

>special olympics By Damian George Special Olympics Marlborough volunteer Gareth Archer is hoping a coaches’ day the club is holding early next month will help entice more people to join the organisation. Mr Archer, a sport and fitness teacher at the Marlborough Sports Academy, has organised the open day to help attract new coaches and volunteers and upskill existing personnel. It will be held at the Marlborough Community College on October 2. Mr Archer says coaching Special Olympics athletes is a rewarding role with global appeal, and en-

courages people to check out what the organisation does. “It’s a really great organisation to be involved with - it’s worldwide, there are opportunities for people who stay with it for a while to make overseas trips, and it’s really well connected so you make lots of friends,” he says. “And being able to provide opportunities for the athletes is really special.” The open day will include coaching workshops, a practical session at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 and a chance for people to plan and implement their own coaching sessions.

Mr Archer says the more coaches the club has, the more athletes it is able to accommodate. “There are a lot of people out there that can be involved with Special Olympics.” Drinks and nibbles will be provided at The Cornerstone Bar & Restaurant following the event.

SurViVOrS’ SpOrt: blenheim’s Simply the breast Dragon boat team members Dinny Shanks and coralie holdaway want to welcome more recruits to their team.

By Celeste Lodewyk Breast cancer survivor Dinny Shanks knows first-hand the value of team sport, especially with other women who have also survived breast cancer. Dinny is one of 21 women who make up Blenheim’s “Simply the Breast” Dragon Boat team. But here lies the problem: there are only 21 members at present so the team is calling for more women like themselves to join for not only competitive reasons, but also for the companionship. “We have had half a dozen new recruits already this year which has been fantastic, but we would dearly love more so if you think you might be interested, contact me for more information. “Ideally it would be good to have 25 or more so if some members can’t do a regatta we can call on someone else

to fill the position,” Dinny says. Dinny, who has twice survived breast cancer, was one of the first women to join the team and says the friendships and enjoyment she has since experienced have made it all worthwhile. “Fun and friendship are the most important things, it’s great to be competitive but the true value of what we do is the enjoyment,” she says. A Dragon Boat seats 20 paddlers in pairs as well as a sweep on the stern and a caller/drummer at the front. In NZ, Dragon Boats can be paddled by any combination of men, female or mixed teams. However, in Blenheim’s Simply the Breast team, members must be breast cancer survivors.

By Celeste Lodewyk Get your dancing shoes on as the St Mary’s Youth Group gears up for its much anticipated ‘Garden of Eden’ dance on October 1. The dance is the Youth Group’s fundraising initiative to raise funds for its camps, events and general running of the group throughout the coming year. There are two Youth Groups, the junior and senior which get together once a week and participate in a wide range of activities; this will be what the money goes towards. At last year’s dance, the Youth Group raised enough money to purchase new music equipment including the drum set pictured.

Comfort is...

Tickets are selling fast but there is still time to grab some early bird specials at $15 per ticket if purchased before September 25. After this date tickets cost $20 each, and although there will be door sales on the night dance organisers insist for catering reasons that tickets be pre-purchased. Dancing kicks off at 7:30pm and finishes at midnight and for the protection of the hall’s floors, no thin heels are allowed. “All ages are welcome to attend and people are encouraged to dress up to the dance’s theme ‘Garden of Eden’. “For a great night out and loads of fun, we would love to see you there,” says Mieke Hilhorst.
