$6 million car park project to start next month By Richard Miller Building of a major $6 million, three-storey, council parking project on the Alfred Street car park site, should start in one month. “This is a major project, both in cost and scale for Marlborough District Council,” said council’s executive project manager, Jamie Lyall, who added that tenders closed last Monday and a contractor would be appointed shortly. He said stage one of the building, which will be constructed in two stages on the council-owned site, is planned for completion before Christmas and would provide 350 parks. The building, ultimately providing about 500 park spaces, would feature three pre-cast and in-situ concrete levels. “The top floor does not have a roof,” said Mr

Lyall “but the ground floor height has been increased to allow for retro-fitting of retail if that demand arises in the future although there are no plans for it at this stage.” He said the council had deliberately delayed the start of the project to the quieter off-season. “There will be a period when the existing Alfred Street car park will be unavailable but we hope to mitigate this issue over the construction period by promoting under-utilised parking areas such as the railway station car park.” He said the council was “very conscious” of the aesthetic impact of a large concrete structure on the town. “We are determined that this structure will not detract from local amenity values. Building façade treatments have been developed to enhance the

building and its interaction with the streetscape and other buildings.” In 2006 the council commissioned a car parking study for Blenheim’s CBD which earmarked that an additional 500 car parking spaces were required within the next five years. In the mid-nineties the council had previously purchased the former Overton Ford site due to its strategic location behind the town’s CBD and the site was then designated as a car park in the district plan. “Due to an increase in land values over recent years it is now cost-effective for the council to construct car parking buildings. “This also provides the added advantage of condensing parking areas into strategic, close proximity locations which support the CBD.”

Watch out – the Russians are coming! The Russians are coming to Marlborough for the 2011 World Cup. The region will be hosting the Russian team during September next year as it prepares for its Rugby World Cup matches in New Zealand. Mayor Alistair Sowman says the visitors will use Marlborough’s rugby amenities at Landsdowne Park and the swimming pool and gym at Stadium

2000 while they’re based here; from September 6 to 12 and again from September 16 to 18. “This is a chance to showcase Marlborough to a new audience so it’s important that we give the Russian squad a great experience while they’re here,� says Mr Sowman. The team will be training at Landsdowne Park and Mr Sowman

said he expected keen interest amongst local rugby fans in watching a World Cup team at practice. “We want to show the Russian players, management and supporters a good time while they’re in Marlborough as well as ensuring they have everything they need for their match preparation. “I’m hoping too that the players will be able to get around our community a

bit, maybe visit some schools and local rugby clubs. “I understand the Russians have been playing rugby since the 1920s but the game has really only had a foothold since the 1970s. This is the first time the Russian Bears have qualified for the World Cup so they’ve come a long way,� he said.

So where the hell are YOU! By Richard Miller Marlborough is giving it back to the Aussies with a new television commercial to encourage them to visit the Marlborough region. Tourism Australia infamously launched its controversial advertising campaign ‘So where the bloody hell are you?’ costing AU$180 million back in 2006. And now Destination Marlborough is giving the Aussies a taste of their own medicine by participating for the first time in a campaign to get Australians here. The move, says Destination Marlborough general manager Tracy Johnston, is a bid to try and boost the more than 113,000 Australians who visited Marlborough in 2008. An innovative TV campaign, which kicked off on Sunday, is at the centre of the $2 million multimedia campaign led by Positively Wellington Tourism. Marlborough vineyards and the Marlborough Sounds are both depicted in the TV ad as viewers are led around the highlights of the cultural capital and its surrounds. Online advertising starting the same day will provide further information on what visitors can experience in the region and link to tactical offers. Six weeks of cinema advertising will

begin in late April. “While the market is performing well for New Zealand and is our largest internationally, there is still plenty of scope to attract a larger share of the 10 million people living on the country’s eastern seaboard,� said Tracy. She is really excited about the potential benefits for Marlborough and loves the TV ad. “It’s really creative and I think it’s going to have brilliant results for us,� she said. “There is no way we could undertake a campaign of this scale on our own. Supporting the Positively Wellington Tourism-led campaign allows us to showcase Marlborough as a wonderful compliment to the Wellington city experience. Even the journey between the two regions is an experience in itself. “Linking with regions which have direct air access from Australia is a logical way to present a holiday proposition. Just as we consider Australia as a series of great short-break destinations, Australians will soon see our country – and our region – that way.� Positively Wellington Tourism Chief Executive David Perks said the organisation’s market research had shown the combination of Wellington’s urban culture tucked between two of New

PROMO: Our picture with local model Danni Nunan, 18, echoes a notorious Australian ad campaign featuring Australia’s Lara Bingle (left). Now Destination Marlborough wants to attract Aussies over here.

Zealand’s finest wine regions was a strong proposition to Australians. “They don’t just want a city-break, they want a full regional experience. Wellington and Marlborough share some key values as well as having our own complimentary ones. All of the partners involved combine

to have a compelling combination we’ll be fighting the Aussies off once they find out about us.� Tracy wants to get more funding out of the Marlborough District Council but said this latest campaign was excellent value for money costing the local tourism body just $10,000.

Poison claim at town creek Dog owner upset plaints last week by concerned dog walker Gerry Ten Broeke who was unhappy at discolouration in the creek and was worried about possible chemical contamination from vineyards. But Mr Johnson said the public need have no fears. “We haven’t found anything,� he said. “There is no evidence of any contamination or chemical discharge and the message we want to send out to the public is that there is nothing to worry about and as far as we are aware the creek is all clear and safe.� Mr Johnson said possible discolouration could be caused by seasonal low flow water levels and sedimentation. He said council staff carried out regular monitoring at the confluence of Doctors Creek and the Taylor River and that these tests would pick up if there were “was anything untoward going on� in the water. However Rebecca said she was not reassured. “It took two weeks of nursing Nomad with salt water and walnut oil before he came right the first time and this included a visit to the vet and medication. “Then when it happened again I was disgusted, especially as I read in the Sun

By Richard Miller A Blenheim woman claims her dog has been poisoned twice at a town creek– despite a council monitoring team last week declaring the stream free of all hazards and dangers. Rebecca O’Sullivan says her bull mastiff cross Nomad fell ill after walking in the Taylor River Reserve by Doctors Creek. “He was down there in the creek and started frothing at the mouth. After I took him home his paws became red and puffy and started oozing puss. He wouldn’t move from under the camper and was really lethargic and off his food.� Rebecca, who no longer walks her dog in the area, says the first time it happened was last year and the second time a few weeks ago. This comes after a council monitoring team declared Doctors Creek free of all hazards and dangers. Last week Marlborough District Council’s manager of environmental science and monitoring, Alan Johnson, told The Sun Doctors Creek had been give a clean bill of health. His investigation followed more com-

flow is pretty good so I am unconvinced about the argument that discolouration is caused by sedimentation,� he said. Rebecca added that she had spoken to several people near the creek who complained their dogs had similar symptoms. “I have complained to the council and I get annoyed about their lack of responsibility to our community. I don’t see how they can keep saying there is nothing wrong there. If there is nothing wrong why do our dogs keep getting sick?�

that another dog walker was having problems in exactly the same place. I have also seen little children playing there.� Rebecca said like Mr Ten Broeke she believed the creek has been contaminated by vineyard sprays. Mr Ten Broeke said he took on board the council’s comments but was mystified as to why Fulton Creek, which also flows into the Taylor River, and he says emanates from the same spring area as Doctors Creek, is “clear as a bell.� “Doctors Creek is not that low at present and the

Local woman dies in crash Family and friends of 51-year-old Penelope Rae Phillips are mourning her loss after she was killed on Friday night when an alleged speeding driver crashed into her drivers-side door at the roundabout of Hutcheson and Nelson Streets. Twenty-year-old Blenheim woman Frances Stubbs allegedly fled from a Police checkpoint on

Alfred Street after being stopped and blowing a positive result for alcohol. Police say when Miss Stubbs was asked to pull over for a second test she sped off over the Taylor River Bridge before colliding with Ms Phillips. Ms Phillips was cut from her car by the Blenheim Volunteer Fire

Brigade but was unable to be saved by St John staff. Ms Stubbs was taken to Wairau Hospital and later released with only minor injuries. Police say charges will not be laid until they complete their investigation, and are interested in speaking to anyone else who witnessed the crash.

Ms Phillips will be remembered by the Blenheim community as a loving and outgoing mother and grandmother who was well known in Marlborough for taking children for rides in the family’s yellow monster truck ‘Lil Toe’ at public events, such as the Springland’s School Gala last year (as pictured).

Noise nightmare starts up again Frost fans crank up tension By Richard Miller The nightmare has started again for Sara Stringer and her partner Kevin. Frost fans shattered the rural peace of their Wairau Valley home on Wednesday night reviving memories of illness and stress which have plagued them for the past three years. That is how long they have had to put up with four frost fans outside their home – one of them only 100 metres away. “We both sat bolt upright when we heard it,� said Sara. “I got out of bed and had to leave home at 5.30am because I couldn’t stand the noise anymore.� Sara has suffered multiple health problems and ended up in hospital twice, due to lack of sleep, stress and being “totally run down.� “I can’t handle the noise anymore. The thud, thud, thud goes straight through the whole house as well as my body. I get sharp shooting pains at the nerve endings down my arms and legs and it hurts like hell. It’s quite simply a form of torture.� She said last season the frost fans started up in April whereas this year it has started a month earlier over the harvest period and then will begin again in the cold weather in September. Despite frequent meetings with Marlborough District Council chief executive Andrew Besley and mayor Alistair Sowman to try and resolve the issue, she says nothing has been achieved. “The latest of many meetings was in February and we left the meeting believing something was going to happen,� said Sara. “The mayor and Andrew Besley told us that there was going to be a resolution and they were going to take out the four noisy fans and replace

DIFFICULT POSITION: Mayor Alistair Sowman says the frost fans are compliant.

them with two quieter ones. “They said they were very sympathetic to our situation and everything we had been put through and admitted that the sound experts were wrong on this case and no one should have to endure this noise.� Sara said a letter from her GP was also presented as well as documentation from a specialist detailing health problems. Since the meeting Sara claims the council had backtracked on its promise and failed to raise a levy against vineyard owners of $5 per hectare of vineyard, to be used in part for dealing with fallout from noisy frost fans. “They lost the vote because of vested interest with councillors Francis Maher and Andrew Barker voting against it.� She said New Zealand Winegrowers chairman Stuart Smith then came up with a plan to replace only one blade nearest the house with a quieter one. “But I want the original plan because experts said replacing only one would have little overall

effect on noise levels.� “I want to say to the mayor and Mr Besley you both promised me something and are now backing out of it. “You promised to get funding to help us and you need to honour your words. Why raise my hopes if you had no intention of doing it.� Mr Sowman said while he was sympathetic to Ms Stringer’s position “she must take some responsibility for her own position.� She was well aware, he said that the council was concerned with the situation and was working to find a solution but had made no promises. “I would also like it to happen overnight but it is taking time.� He said the problem the council faced was that the frost fans around the house were compliant and met the rules of the district plan. “It puts us in a difficult position because the landowner is compliant,� he said. “We did look at possible solutions and one was to take away the four fans and install two new ones but that would be an extremely expensive operation costing in excess of $100,000. “Yes, the council could have stepped in but it was a matter of who funded it.� Mr Sowman said the idea was then floated of putting a per hectare charge on the grape industry but councillors turned that one down. He said the wine industry was currently looking at replacing the two-bladed fan nearest the house with a quieter, four-bladed one and he appreciated the help of the industry in tackling the problem.

Plea for patience during Grape Ride Forrest Grape Ride organiser Pete Halligan is pleading with the public for it’s show of patience and co-operation for this weekend’s event, where around 2,300 cyclists are expected to take part in the 101km cycling race. “We really want the wonderful and friendly Marlborough attitude to shine through the event with motorists showing a level of courtesy and patience for the cyclists throughout the event. “This event is such a fantastic opportunity to showcase what Marlborough has to offer and we know for some people, especially in the Sounds area it’s their

piece of paradise that they’re sharing but we just stress to the public – please share the road,� he said. Aside from the tourism benefits, Mr Halligan said the annual Grape Ride looks to bring in around $1.2 million to the local economy, with many cyclists travelling from overseas and around the country to stay in Marlborough for the event. GRAPE RIDE: Staff at Forrest Estate are preparing for the annual Forrest Grape Ride this Saturday From left, Tim Alexander, Trevor Loomis, Charlotte Broms, cyclist Matthew Cozens and Brigid Forrest.

Dry spell hits water users Falling river levels and a dry weather forecast mean that it is likely a number of irrigation water consents will have to be shut off. Marlborough Distriict Council’s environment committee chairman, Graeme Taylor, says consent holders in the Rai River had to shut off last week and may be followed by several other rivers. The Waihopai River is just above the class B threshold and is likely to be shut off and consent holders in the Wairau and Lower Pelorus Rivers will probably be close behind. At this stage the MetService forecast gives no indication of rain in the next 14 days, so there is a high probability of these shutoffs happening. A Waihopai class B shut off would affect about 20 consent holders. There are about 80 consent holders involved in the Wairau B Class including the council-operated Southern Valleys’ Irrigation scheme, which services about 250 properties. Preparations are being made to shut down the Gibsons Creek intake once the trigger level is reached. The Pelorus River has 11 active consents. In the longer term shutoffs may extend to the Waihopai class A consents and the Awatere, which is enjoying one of its better seasons, but may still face shutoffs if the current dry spell continues. The council reminded all water consent holders that they need to be aware of their shut off thresholds and check flows on the council website to ensure that they comply with their consent conditions.

A volunteer Pelorus health group is celebrating an unexpected windfall. SBS Bank operates a monthly draw where non-profit groups can win one of ten $1000 prizes and Blenheim’s Pelorus Area Health Trust has just scooped one of the prizes. Spokeswoman Cathy Cocker said the group was very excited to have an extra $1000 funding unexpectedly at its disposal. “We as yet have to decide exactly which of our current projects will benefit from this windfall, but whether it is the defribulators, or our emergency community container, you can be assured it will make a difference. “The Pelorus Area Health Trust is run by volunteers who are committed to make a difference to health access in the Pelorus Area.” SBS Bank Nelson manager Rod Fox said he and his colleagues in Blenheim were always delighted to share the great news with the winners in Marlborough. “The $24,000 received by our non-profit groups banking with SBS Star in NelsonMarlborough so far has resulted in a diverse selection of community organisations receiving a surprise phone call from one of our staff. “Non-profit groups in Nelson-Marlborough should be aware that we certainly do score our fair share of the prize draw winnings so, if there are clubs and societies out there that want to find out how SBS Star can benefit them, they just need to get in touch. As the saying goes – you’ve got to be in to win.” So far SBS has given $250,000 to 150 nonprofit groups nationwide.

Sun readers have their say...

Do you think Saturday schooling for punishment will work?

Awesome! Go for it, best idea ever!

School is only 5 days a week, so that’s as far as their punishment should extend.

Good idea, it takes away their weekend for punishment.

All for it. It encourages discipline.

Don’t agree. Saturday is their time. Deal with the problem before it gets so bad.

Consequences are important. I would question it when it takes up teachers time off.

Letters to the editor

Trimmed trees - but there is more ... Dear Ed, We’ve complied with our council demand and trimmed and cleared our mulberry tree in 5 minutes. Our council notice was for $120. The elderly, blind, disabled and handicapped are now safe but are unable to enjoy the mulberries as they have done for over 100years. Will the council now recognize that the bottles, cans, junk food wrappers and unsatisfactory items discarded on their council land outside our property, which we remove, is their responsibility and undertake to maintain their frontage in a neat and tidy condition?

Will they mow the lawn section as Mr. Hutcheson quoted, The Sun March 17th, when people have to revert the area to lawn or the original condition. Won’t Blenheim look great, with huge areas of lawn frontages unmoved waiting for the council? Perhaps the blind, disabled, elderly and handicapped will get lost in the long grass. John Ryan

Dear Ed, In the last few weeks or so Councillor Hope has criticised shop keepers for putting sandwich boards on the town footpaths. This after their contractor was very dictorial to the house and garden proud residents whose flowers flowed just 2/3 mms onto the council footpaths. Sure the towns footpaths are no place for sandwich boards.

Now we are seeing land agents invading the town berns. It’s just not on, putting signs at right angles to the footpath. Be consistent Mr Hope. No infringement of any description on paths, berns etc please. The writer thinks the vast majority of residents would think that would be fair. Robert McDowell Chairman MCC Inc.

Carbon Trading Dear Ed, Do the media realise the Kyoto/ETS is the free market ideology again? ETS if implemented creates a property right. When it collapses, the Government will have to pay huge compensation claims to power companies and others who have spent

huge financial resources to becoming ‘carbon friendly’. The average Kiwi will pay too in the rises in fuel and electricity prices. NZ’s major export in agriculture will be destroyed. What madness Clark and now Key are committing! Concerned Kiwi

Pest plant control indifferent

/NLY

Let’s be consistent

Orchard Lane off Coleman’s Road is what its name suggests, a lane leading to an orchard. The Marlborough District Council’s naming policy defines a lane as “a narrow passage between hedges or buildings, an alley�. However, the lovely homes and gardens bordering Orchard Lane hardly come into the category most would describe as an alley. The lane opens out on to a rare public asset for these times: an orchard open to the public with the plums and nuts freely available to all. In 1910, Balfour Clouston first established a farm and orchard in the area. He planted apples and walnuts, though later his son Stewart replaced the apple trees with plums. Stewart also imported thousands of bulbs from Holland and the blaze of colour during flowering time became a well-known local feature. Marlborough District Council, which bought the land as a reserve in 1996, maintains the area carefully. Each year Cancer Society pickers have permission to pick the yellow blooms for Daffodil Day fund-raising, while locals “in the know� harvest the plums and nuts according to the council’s guidelines. Ladders can be used, but no climbing of trees.

Dear Ed, I think Tony Orman has a very valid point about the seeming indifference to pest plant control. I have watched with dismay the advance of old man’s beard along the North bank of the Wairau from Tua Marina to the Waikakaho Valley over the last couple of years whilst neither the council or DOC seem to have any interest in controlling the spread in this area.

I have found that loppers and glycophosphate painted on the stumps is quite effective in keeping the weed off our property. It sometimes seems to me that DOC is too top heavy with academics and policy makers and not nearly well staffed enough with good, common sense, practical people such as used to work for the old Forest Service.

Pest Plants Dear Ed, How dare a public servant Phil Clerke of DOC tell a taxpayer Tony Orman that he is “irresponsible and incorrect.� Mr Clerke should look around roadsides and riverbeds where old man’s beard is rampant before he self praises DOC and MDC for their efforts. Old man’s beard grubs out easily. Even lopping the base will stop the plant seeding, better than letting it spread more seeds. Neil Wilson

Family man at heart The private face of a public man Kaikoura MP, Colin King talks to Richard Miller news@blenheimsun.co.nz Shearer turned politician Colin King is a firm believer in family values. Now with four adult children and 10 grandchildren he decided back in 2003 to make a bid to get elected as an MP because he had a vision of the sort of New Zealand he wanted his children and grandchildren to inherit. “I had a very strong view that policies needed to reflect a clear social responsibility,� said Colin whose lean frame reveals a fitness regime that sees him in the parliamentary gym at least twice a week, belying his 60 years. “Family is one of the reasons I got involved in politics. I wondered what sort of world our grandchildren would inherit. I firmly believe it is our responsibility to make sure the world we pass on to them is as good, if not better, than the one we live in today.� Colin, a three times Golden Shears Champion, six times National Shearing Competition Champion and winner of more than two hundred open shearing events, admits that life as a politician is not always easy. “Coming from a shearing background the tallies speak for themselves. My personal best was shearing 621 adult ewes in nine hours and 741 lambs in nine hours. “The figures tell the story but the difference is in politics you have to self-nominate and I find that very challenging. You have to get up and blow your own trumpet but I was never one to overly push myself forward – that’s not the

Kiwi way.� On becoming a National MP in 2005 he found “opening myself up to public scrutiny was not for the faint-hearted.� He believes he is essentially a shy person – although jokes that wife Lynnette would have a different view. He says she is very passionate “about caring and that side of things� and works up to three days a week in palliative care as an enrolled nurse at Hospice Marlborough.

“Opening yourself up to public scrutiny is not for the faint hearted.� Juggling a busy life as a National MP with the demands of such a large, extended family is not always an easy task. Colin spends 30 weeks a year in Wellington attending parliamentary business and 10 weeks travelling “somewhere in New Zealand� which means he is away from his Fairhall home for 40 weeks a year. “The electorate itself is one of the biggest in New Zealand, as well as being one of the most beautiful, and it takes a lot of getting around,� says Colin who has been a farmer much of his life and only recently wound up his

farming activities. “Luckily, having shorn in many of those areas, I have a strong relationship with farms and families and when I am down in the Amberley area I can stay with my son Nicholas.� One topical issue on which Colin has strong views is the controversial decision last week to acquit the “Waihopai three�. Teacher Adrian Leason, 45, Dominican friar Peter Murnane,

69, and farmer Sam Land, 26, were acquitted on charges of burglary and wilful damage at the Waihopai Spy Base after they slashed one of the two inflatable domes with sickles. “My view is that the defense of greater good, which they used, is very similar to using provocation as a defence for murder,� says Colin. “Next minute you will have people believing in the so-called ‘greater good’ and blowing up things. This could potentially lead to planting the

seeds of terrorism. “These people see the Waihopai base as the personification of evil but a lot of us simply see it as our responsibility. It worries me what these activists are planning to do on their annual pilgrimage to the Waihopai base next year. If they tear both the domes down then will they be able to use the same defence? “A lot of people I have spoken to in the community feel the same way.�

Retailers stand the test of time The number and variety of specialty shops in Scott Street creates a “Destination Point� for people from outside the town as well as local shoppers. Quite a few retailers are also recording a signifi cant and steadily growing amount of business from throughout New Zealand and overseas. People on holiday just drop in for a look and then order when they get home. The close-knit group of retailers know and respect each other, welcoming the new specialty businesses that build the street’s variety and distinctive culture.

There is a strong emphasis on service to customers. Excellence, value for money and a strong sense of community are long standing bywords. Some businesses have been there a long time, Poswillo’s Pharmacy at forty four years probably the longest, the Magazine Shop since 1975, Lyfords Furniture did at one stage move briefly. But came back relatively quickly. Ken Ham’s Music Works has been there for twenty four years. The Blenheim Dive Centre has also been in Scott St for twenty four years.

A vibrant and busy street Scott Street retailers are now reaping the rewards of their decades-old belief in the future of their area. Music store owner Ken Ham says the area is now a vibrant and sought after commercial entity, with specialty businesses, cafes and restaurants which keep the street alive. Some big name entertainers and other celebrities can regularly be spotted in Scott Street, day or night. There are many specialty stores, with more shifting in whenever they can find one of the sought-after

sites. Nearby big retailers such as Katmandu, Briscoes and The Warehouse were also supporting the growth. “I’ve always known this would happen,� Ken said. “It’s the most logical growth area.� He moved his business from the North end (Centre Point Mall) twenty four years ago. There was pessimism, even incredulity, from other retailers, but almost immediately his sales trebled.

Following four years of successful operation Andrew recently also purchased Houston Mitsubishi Nelson and also Houston Prestige Nelson , agents for Mercedes Benz, Chyrsler, Jeep and Dodge. The main advantage for Marlborough clients is that we can now offer sales and service

for these models in our fully equipped Scott Street workshop. It also gives us a larger range of quality new and used vehicles that we can offer local clients.

At 47-years of age, the Wadsco Motor World building stands as proud as it did from the beginning – just double the size. Built in 1963 and known then as Terry Motors, the building was later bought and expanded in 1984 by John Wadsworth and Rex Scoble – becoming Wadsco Motor World. Years later in 1996 Rex retired and before long John was joined by Jared Morris and Wayne Young who entered into a business partnership. Since, Wadsco Motor World has grown in size and business with staff numbers increasing from 26 to 39, said business partner Jared Morris. “With the continuous growth of the business staff numbers peaked at 50 before the business split in 1996.

“Over the years the success of the business meant we outgrew the site twice, prompting the truck shop to be shifted to Horton Street in 2000, and the move of the panel shop to Timandra Place early last year,� he said proudly. Wadsco Motor World stocks around 100 new and used Holden, Suzuki and Subaru vehicles, “something we are very proud of,� boasts Jared. “I believe we have the biggest selection in town as well as great onsite services including a full workshop, full parts department, a Firestone Direct tyre shop with a wheel aligning service as well as our paint and panel shop, using all the latest technology available.� For friendly, professional service call in and see the Wadsco team because really – “nobody knows your car better.�

By Celeste Lodewyk Blenheim mother of two, Odette Powick is urging people to keep their bikes securely locked up following the recent theft of her children’s bikes from the family’s carport. Furious with the double bike theft which occurred within the last two weeks Odette has had to step up security after thieves first stole daughter Tess’s pink 20inch mountain bike, and again just days later her son Eli’s bike – which was later found and handed in. “We have never had an issue with theft before and I guess I have always assumed that being the second house up a driveway would deter thieves, but lately things have changed,� she said. “I just want to get the message out that people need to be more vigilant about locking bikes away, it’s not as safe as it used to be.� Wiping away her tears, six-year-old Tess is still upset over the loss of her Christmas present, a much loved metallic pink 20inch mountain bike which was bought locally at Reidie Cycles. “It still makes me sad that I don’t have my bike anymore, I really want it back,� Tess said. Blenheim Police Constable, Martin McDonald said bike thefts in Marlborough from January this year have so far amounted to 27, compared to the 34 reports from the same period last year. He also said the main cause for bike thefts was that 76percent of them were left unattended or unlocked. “Marlborough Police stress the importance of recording up-to-date serial numbers of bicycles. These serial numbers are crucial in assisting the recovery of stolen bikes. “Furthermore, locking bicycles is paramount

at all times whether left in public areas, on the back of vehicles or at home – and avoid leaving bikes in public areas overnight,� he said. The family urges anyone who has information regarding Tess’s pink mountain bike to please contact Blenheim Police.

Safe removal of ear wax Microscope and suction is considered the safest method of removing ear wax. Registered nurse, Mar y Tolan uses a microscope with a number of magnification levels to allow viewing of even the most narrow outer ear canal. Wax is then removed under observation ensuring maximum safety leaving the ear canals dry and clean. The procedure is painless and takes about 15 minutes. This method is also the only safe way to remove discharge following an otitis externa (inflammation of the outer ear canal). Discharge is suctioned leaving the ear canal clean and allowing the medicated ear drops to work more effectively. Education and advice is given with follow-up appointments to ensure the return of a healthy ear canal. Other methods of removing ear wax can have significant risk to the health of our ears. There is an old saying “don’t stick anything into your ears that is smaller than your elbow!�

It cannot be stressed enough that your ears are extremely delicate, and one should never use cotton buds, pens, pencils or hair pins to clean them. If you suffer from excessive wax buildup or you wear hearing aides you should have your ears cleaned professionally on a regular basis. Wax build-up has the potential to interfere with hearing, lead to infection if water becomes trapped and can cause damage to the ear canal e.g. ulceration. For those wearing hearing aides just a small amount of wax can interfere with the aide causing it to ‘squeal’. Good Advice: • Look after the health of your ears and consider having them checked • Don’t be tempted to use cotton buds, hair clips etc. • Use a modern, professionally safe technique i.e. suction. For an appointment phone 03 578 8310 c/- Physiotherapy Centre, 11 Francis St, BLENHEIM EAR SPECIALIST: Mary Tolan of Ear Health Professional Ear Care.

Netball jubilee marks 75 years of fun and friendship By Celeste Lodewyk Seven friends and past Awatere Netball Club players have returned from retirement to rejoin as a team for the club’s 75th jubilee this year. To celebrate the club’s milestone the group of women are dusting off their skirts and putting in last minute practise to join the Awatere’s two other netball teams for this year’s season. Included in the celebrations will be a jubilee games afternoon on June 5 followed by a cabaret night of which the whole Awatere community is invited. The special jubilee team consists of women who have been friends and played for the Awatere Netball Club since primary school. Club secretary and jubilee team member Karen Dowling says it has been 10-years since they had been together as a team and was looking forward to highlighting the club’s long history. “For 75-years the club has provided a vital social and sporting outlet for rural women, especially in the early days when it was impossible for many to travel to town or join alternative sports – netball was their only choice,” she says. “We never had a lot of money to buy flash uniforms or practice on fancy courts but we fundraised our hearts out to keep it going which makes this year’s celebration very special to us.”

Reminiscing on their many memories as a team, the three women (pictured) shared their fondest stories from their many team trips away. “Our most memorable times were the annual trips away – I can’t spill too much,” Karen laughs. “But what goes on tour stays on tour,” she winks. “I can remember Mother D (coach) driving the bus and stopping to tell us off for being too loud after a few post-match drinks,” laughs Michelle McConway. “We had so much fun as a team, we were so close knit and still are today – that’s what makes this reunion so special,” smiles Pip McConway. Mother D, Awatere Netball Club’s life member Helen Doran will be guest of honour at the caberet.

Sarah’s hidden baking talent By Celeste Lodewyk At the age of 16-years, Sarah Simpson has already shown great talent in a variety of areas – including the kitchen. Throughout the years Sarah has loved to bake and more recently began to consider pastry chefing as a possible career move. But rather than wait for professional training, the ambitious teenager has taught herself a few artistic skills. With no professional experience Sarah uses her imagination and creativity to make birthday, novelty and wedding cakes. “My first ever cake was my sister’s 21st birthday last year, I had never attempted decorating before but I had so much fun,� she says.

Recently Sarah was asked to make a family friend’s wedding cake (pictured) and says it was a great experience and something she hopes to do professionally one day. “I do this for the enjoyment, I love to come up with the ideas and see them through and at my age it’s all about having fun with it,� she says. When Sarah is not creating culinary masterpieces she is working toward her Queen’s Award as part of the Girls Brigade. She has been a dedicated member for 5-years before taking up the Queen’s Award challenge which will see her spend two-years carrying out a variety of tasks, including volunteer work.

Simon aims for Gallipoli Marlborough Boys’ High School student Simon Bush could soon be heading to Gallipoli after winning the regional final of The National Bank RSA Cyril Bassett VC Speech Competition held in Nelson on Sunday. Simon will now head to Wellington for the national final on 1 April, which brings with it the chance to

travel to Gallipoli for the 2010 Anzac Day commemorations. RSA District President for Nelson/ Marlborough/Westland, Bill Hunter, says the RSA was impressed at the level of interest from students in The National Bank RSA Cyril Bassett VC Speech Competition. “Simon presented an excellent speech, demonstrating a strong

understanding of the experience of New Zealanders in war throughout our history.� The competition is a partnership between the RSA and the National bank, aimed at promoting among young people a deeper understanding and appreciation of the sacrifices made by those who have served New Zealand in wars and

armed conflicts overseas. The competition also serves as a fitting tribute to Cyril Bassett, the only New Zealander to win a VC at Gallipoli. WORD PERFECT: Speech competition winner Marlborough Boys’ College student Simon Bush.
