Hope after company collapse Matt Brown Reporter

A young Blenheim couple who faced losing their first home after the collapse of a building business have been thrown a lifeline. Anastasia Brown and Caleb Mischeski faced losing $50,000 after a now defunct Blenheim building company was placed into liquidation. But other businesses have since stepped-up to help those burnt by the collapse of Marlborough company Rose Built Homes last week. Peter Ray Homes have taken on Anastasia Brown’s build on Blenheim’s Taylor Pass Road, which has languished for more than three months. Peter Ray Homes director Donna Lee says their builders are working at a reduced margin to get them into the house. “We really want to help Anastasia out,” Donna says. RBH Limited, trading as Rose Built Homes, was placed into liquidation on 5 September. It has since come to light the company’s two directors, Kyle Payne and Ryan Butler operated a web of interconnected companies. The pair, who are no longer in contact with each other, have since fled town, leaving Marlborough businesses out of pocket by at least $1.4million. More than 40 businesses and sub-

locally owned and operated

building industry. For Anastasia, who put money given to her by her grandparents towards the $338,000 home, says the first sign of trouble was when

scaffolding was pulled down. A skip on site was then emptied on where the couple’s front lawn was going as bills weren’t paid. “Every week I asked when the

roof was coming on, and every week they would say Friday.

Contracts cancelled as firm goes bust FROM PAGE 1

“I found out from the plumber, they just vanished, I got incredibly stressed about it so my parents took over,” she says. “The liquidator cancelled their contract with us. It’s pretty shitty, but I was lucky to find Donna from Peter Ray Homes.” In January, Ryan and Kyle transferred 90 per cent of the shares of RBH to a holding company, NOA Development Group Limited. NOA was removed from the companies register in July. One unsecured creditor, who didn’t want to be named, says alarm bells for him started ringing in June. “RBH was charging $200300sqm cheaper than everyone else but were $16,700 a week in the red. It’s bad management.”

The Rose Built Home offices in Blenheim’s CBD has closed. Anderson Architectural Design owner Jason Anderson says Ryan and Kyle were not suitable businesspeople. “They’re the type of guys you could have a beer with,” he says. “They just weren’t cut out to run a business.” Jason says there were seven Rose Built Homes houses under construction and another person

who had paid a deposit when the company folded. Former project manager Graeme Andrews resigned from the company six weeks ago after a year with the company. He says while he is not owned any money, he was “a little bit uncomfortable”. “I was concerned I maybe wasn’t getting the right information. I

had suspicions, but I had no idea. “All I can say is I don’t have the full picture or the full information. “Everyone in town knew there were issues. “The reason I did stick around was for the tradies…and for the clients, a lot of which were young couples. I felt for them.”

Starving, ill and flea infested cats will continue to suffer and die as authorities fail to act, warn animal charity bosses. Marlborough Dog Pawz, which care for both cats and dogs, has hit out at both the SPCA and Marlborough District Council over their failure to act. The central Blenheim home has around nine cats living in filth and faeces, says charity cofounder Michelle Masden. She has implored both councillors and SPCA to act and for help to be given to the homeowner. But she says her pleas are falling on “deaf ears”. “I feel like it is in the too hard basket and no one wants to actually try, the place hasn’t changed since January and is still a health hazard. “We did go knock on the door on one occasion to see if we could help with de sexing or any other sick kittens etc. “That is when I found a little kitten lying in the garden covered in flies and crawling with fleas like I have never seen before, there was also a dead cat by the garage. “I am not sure what you actually have to do to get someone to take action. “We have taken six or seven

District Council says the property had been inspected. “Council inspected the property again on 4 September - there were four cats present and no concerns regarding their health or well-being. There have been no complaints from the neighbours.” The spokesman says the photos making the rounds on Facebook were not recent. Council bylaws allow people to have four adult cats and keep additional kittens for up to three months.

The cats first came to the charity’s attention in January. They reported their urgent concerns to the SPCA. After a four day wait, officials showed up at the house, Michelle says. “The smell was so bad it almost made me sick, there was also a dead cat by the garage. SPCA know this property and actually took eight cats from there

last year but haven’t followed up since. “It breaks my heart totally.” The charity has been calling for a meeting with council staff, including Marlborough Mayor John Leggett. But despite assurances a meeting would happen, nothing has been confirmed yet, though says councillor and mayoral candidate Jamie Arbuckle has been in contact. “The owner of the property will not de sex any cats or let the

Bringing hope home Matt Brown Two friends hope people will turn out in force to support those whose lives have been touched by suicide. Marlborough man Bary Neal lost his son, Matt, 22, to suicide in 2016 while his friend and Hope Walk organiser Vita Vaka suffered from depression. Together, the pair hope this year’s walk will start conversations about suicide and let people know support is on hand. Organiser Vita Vaka says suicide is a topic close to his heart. “I do this because I wish people were there walking with me through it,” he says. The walk takes up to an hour, depending on the size of the crowd, and makes a loop circuit around Blenheim – starting and ending at Seymour Square. In 2017, nearly 1000 Marlburians turned out for the region’s inaugural Hope Walk after organiser Bary Neal heard of a guy in Auckland starting a similar event. Bary handed over organising the event to 30-year-old Vita

Formal gets the Myspace treatment

Nearly 80 Marlborough students made the most of an initiative by the Marlborough Youth Trust to provide make up, hair styles and nails prior to the annual formal on Saturday night. Volunteers showed up in force to help ensure students looked great for their special night. The centre also provided ball dresses, suits and accessories for students looking to save some money. Centre manager Jo Lane says next year, they will need more helpers. “They all did a very good job,” Jo says.

“It’s a day to remind people how valuable they are to life.” But now back in Blenheim, he continues to be a passionate advocate for the walk. He organised the first event in Blenheim in 2017. “I thought, why not? “Rather than sitting around feeling sorry for myself, I got out and did something,” Bary says. “It’s made a difference in

a lot of people’s lives.” Bary says the event is about encouraging people to openup. “To not sit at home and feel like a burden,” he says. Bary, a competitive speed walker, went through a double hip replacement, then a marriage breakup before the death of his son. “At that stage I didn’t want anyone around me,” Bary says. “I put on a brave face, but I would hide and have a cry. “My best mate didn’t have a clue, but he checked up on me every other day. I kept think-

ing, my boy is looking down on me being miserable, so I wanted to do something to help people who were having similar trouble” he says. Vita says Hope Walk itself is a type of suicide prevention. “It’s a day to remind people how valuable they are to life. People have some kai and are informed about the support networks,” Vita says. “It’s important people know the support is there.” The Hope Walk begins at 10am Saturday 28 September at Seymour Square.

A life-changing diagnosis September is World Alzheimers Month. Below, a husband talks about his wife’s diagnosis and how it has changed their lives.

Paula Hulburt Editor

paula@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

There are still many good days, moments the devoted couple of 60 years can enjoy ordinary moments they used to take for granted. For a Marlborough husband and wife, who asked not to be named, an uneventful trip to the supermarket, or even watching TV and laughing together has taken on a special significance. A diagnosis of Alzheimers for the wife earlier this year changed both their lives in an instance. “It’s a real defining point, especially for the patient, I hate that word, but use it anyway. “Once that word, Alzheimers, comes up, you’ve crossed the Rubicon and can’t go back. It took a year to come to terms with it,” he says. Dementia affects nearly 80 per cent of New Zealanders in some way. Early warning signs include forgetting conversations or denying they took place, repetition,

misplacing items and forgetting where to find household objects. There is a gradual decrease in socialisation and, latterly, confusion over family, time and place. For the husband, looking back, the signs were all there. “The first signs began about five years ago. She was forgetting conversations or that we were going out for tea and would say I hadn’t told her. “I had a feeling that this was more than just forgetting things, something was out of kilter but as I didn’t really know what was going on, I had to find a way to adjust. “The worst thing for me, apart from the terrible time my wife is going through, is that there are two of us in this situation. I’ve no experience with this and the impact is huge,” he says. One of the first tasks he undertook was to contact Alzheimers Marlborough. The support and information they have provided has proven invaluable, he says. Almost 70,000 Kiwis are living with dementia. More than 170,000 Kiwis will be living with

case means the woman in question is aware of the changes and the likely course the illness will take. “She’s aware [of what’s happening]. It would be easier if she

wasn’t. Being aware and having to come to terms with it is the difficulty,” her husband says. “Between 70 and 80 per cent of the time we can carry on a semblance of a real life.

- living with Alzheimers “No two days are the same. There may be two days when it’s calm and everything is nice and peaceful. You learn to make the most of the good days. “My wife still has hope from time to time and will sometimes think that she’s not actually as bad as she was. “I can’t hope like that, as I know that this condition is irreversible.” Likening the illness to a photograph album that is gradually losing its pictures, the retired husband says routine is key when it comes to helping minimise distress. Where once this committed couple were ardent travellers, the illness has effectively clipped their wings. “Travel is an upsetter. Travel was a big and important part of our lives, it’s still something she sometimes looks forward to but also has the nouse to know that long distance travel is not an option anymore.” Alzheimers NZ represents people living with dementia at a national level.

The organisation provides information and resources, advocates for high quality services, and promotes research about prevention, treatment, cure and care. Being open with the couple’s children, all of whom live overseas, the couple’s friends and neighbours has helped. There is no point in pretending it’s not happening, he says. But having to be selective about what information he passes onto his wife has been “difficult”. “The subterfuge is difficult. Sometimes you have to simply let them believe wholly that something that isn’t true is true or indulge in small white lies. “I feel bad about that but after a while you get used to it, you do. What you’re doing all the time is thinking for two people,” he says. Picking his battles has proven key. “Sometimes at the supermarket we’ll end up with three items of the same thing, it doesn’t really matter if she’s happy. “You need to choose your time to walk away. If there’s a hint of an

there is no happy ending. “I think about it all the time, it’d be foolish if I didn’t. “You can’t make any definitive plans you can only take guesses. You do have to think about the ultimate; there’s no answer to that at this stage. “I just have to keep an open mind; hope for the best but know to expect the worst.” For further information, help or advice visit www.alzheimers.org. nz/marlborough or contact 03 577 6172.

Future brighter for outdoor centre Paula Hulburt

and administrators Lloyd and Val Mapp stepped away from their role last year after 35 years of work at the Wairau Valley centre near Blenheim. Then the long-term caretaker left too. The vacancies inspired the committee to look at different ways to run the camp. Originally, the team had hoped to put a sustainable, purpose-built facility on site. But as fundraising targets fell short, the team came up with an alternative plan. “Without this building we would have to consider closing the centre. “After being unsuccessful in several applications for funding from larger funding bodies, the committee had to go ‘back to the drawing board’ and rethink the plan. Then .... Eureka! The perfect idea came. A relocated building. “No community volunteer project is without its hiccups, and this has allowed us to find a new direction and reach out to our wonderful community again,” Jess says.

A second-hand home holds the key to a brighter outlook for plans to boost a much-loved community camp. Volunteers keen to secure the future of Marlborough’s Pine Valley Outdoor Centre have seen their hard work pay off in the form of a preloved home nicknamed Good Bones. The weatherboard home, due to arrive on site later this year, will be the base for a voluntary caretaker, responsible for the day to day running of the camp. Now the enthusiastic camp committee hope people will lend a hand to turn their vision into a reality. Member Jess Ellis says having someone on site will allow for a “smoother operation”. “The committee will remain in charge of oversight of the camp, and we aim to continue to provide the same classic kiwi camp experience at low cost,” she says. The camp’s founding members

Hard working volunteers have been helping raise funds for Pine Valley Outdoor Centre. Inset: A pre-loved home is set to become caretaker’s accommodation at Pine Valley Outdoor Centre.

This will give volunteers a chance to work on the house and the site ahead of the relocation, says Jess. Coffey House Removals in Renwick has agreed to help enable volunteers to work on the house while it’s still in town.

It was a milestone moment for the Awatere community as they gathered to mark the official opening of their new hall. The Yealands Wines Awatere Memorial Hall official re-opening and community fun day was a huge success. Margaret Marfell and Joan Gardiner, both with close ties to Seddon, were given the honour of cutting the official opening ribbon.

MP for Kaikoura Stuart Smith says it was a special moment for all. “This community has been through so much with the 2013 Seddon & the 2016 Kaikoura Earthquakes. “Through it this community has stood together and this project is testament to their community spirit,” he says. Photo: Summa MacDonald.

Blossoming of a garden tour It started as a way to raise funds to strengthen a Blenheim church but has been so popular it’s now an event in its own right. The St Andrew’s Church Around Town Garden Tour began in 2013. It was such a success they kept it going says committee member Gillian Mutch. For the first time, this year’s event will include a Christmas and craft stall alongside regular favourites such as the book stall. Cakes and filled rolls will also be available to buy at various venues. As the first garden tour of the season, it relies on the weather to play nice which can be a gamble in early October. “You can’t guarantee the weather, we just hope,” Mutch says The garden tour will also be releasing a calendar with each of the 12 featured gardens from the tour. Tickets are $20 and are available from mid-September at Selmes Garden Trust, Devon Garden Centre, Cresswell’s Shoes and the office at St Andrews’s Church office. The tour will be held on 5 and 6 October St Andrew’s Church Garden Tour organisers Kim Bishell and Gillian Mutch. between 10am and 4pm. Photo: Paula Hulburt.

Fashion show a runway success

Volunteer models strutting their stuff on the runway have helped boost funds for Marlborough Red Cross. The fashion show, Red Cross Crosses the Runway, kept audiences entertained at Marlborough Public House last week. And the $5000 raised is a record for the event. Now in its fifth year, the popular fashion show is one of the charity’s three main fundraiser events held throughout the year, alongside their annual ANZAC Day/Marlborough Golf Club tournament and Red Rose day in October. Red Cross spokeswoman Lorna Whitehead says some members of the public may not realise the varied role the organisation has across the community.

Emergency and disaster response, the delivery of meals on wheels, community transport vehicles, taking community garden produce to the food bank and Johns Kitchen, first aid training, and youth support are some of the tasks they undertake, she says. Community support is important and seeing so many people at the fashion show was a real boost, Lorna says. “We are delighted with the wonderful support for our female models from Shizazz Fashion on Queen Street and Hallenstein Brothers for our male models. “Many Local businesses have given their support for this fundraising function,” she says.

Q&A with council candidates

Francis Maher is standing for the Wairau-Awatere Ward. What’s makes you proud about being a Marlburian? Working with the land and working with people. That taught me a practical down to earth perspective. Listen, look, and consider carefully, then make and implement common sense solutions. You’ve been a councillor before, what lessons did you learn? Above all, be constructive, and you don’t get anything done by yourself. Listen to what people and communities need. Balance the benefits against the costs – short and long term. Expect to have to deal with a lot of information and balance evidencebased decision making with the personal impact those decisions can have on people. Then implement practical, sensible solutions. That’s much more important than it is to beat the drum and make a lot of noise about it. You and your wife Annette now have grandchildren, how has that changed things? Communities don’t create themselves. We have to do that by working together. I’ve always had an intense interest in sustainable management of our

Seeing our grown children and their children almost every day has further sharpened awareness of where our responsibilities lay and how far into the future we need to be thinking. What are your top three issues? Rates are a big issue for many people. The existing system is archaic and doesn’t fit into the 21st century. We have to press central government for a better way to fund local government.

You left council to work on family projects, why the comeback? I have a lifelong commitment to improving our region. I’ve previously demonstrated my ability to effectively represent the people of the Wairau-Awatere ward. I’ve built a reputation for practical, sensible, down-to-earth community leadership. I believe in working with people – our residents and fellow councillors to find practical solutions to often conflicting needs. I believe in a sustainable social, economic and environmental future for everyone. I have the practical, get things done, experience as a member of our community and as a councillor, needed to be an effective representative and decision maker, sensibly and practically balancing current and future needs.

Double win for hotel Matt Brown

for the Australasian Hotel Chef of the Year. The judging panel was made up of industry leaders and travel writers from the Australasian region. HM editor-in-chief and chief judge of the HM Awards James Wilkinson says the calibre of this year’s entries were the best in the event’s history. “The quality of entries in the HM Awards this year was unlike anything we have seen before. It was a challenge to even choose the finalists from up to 80 entries in some cases, let alone decide on a winner and highly commended,” James says. “To even be a finalist this year was a massive effort and many of our winners have also been employee of the year or hotel of the year in their own organisations, so it was an incredibly strong field of entries in 2019.”

A Marlborough hotel has been awarded back-to-back wins at a prestigious Australasian hotel competition. Chateau Marlborough won the HM Australasian Hotel of the Year for Best NZ Regional Hotel for the second year running, one of only two hotels to achieve the award twice and in their second year of attending the ceremony. General manager Lynley McKinnon says winning the award was very much a team effort. “We’ve got a dedicated team of staff that is striving for excellence, which makes the success fantastic for the hotel,” she says. The 2019 HM Awards for Hotel and Accommodation Excellence, now in their 17th year, are the leading industry in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

More than 900 people attended the awards dinner at the Sydney’s International Convention Centre last Friday and over 60 awards were handed out across 48 categories. Chief executive officer Brent Marshall says to be the second hotel in 17 years to win the award in consecutive years was a “very pleasing surprise”. “We were up against 15 others of an exceedingly high standard, to be announced as the winner was satisfying and humbling at the same time,” Brent says. “It’s great for the Marlborough region to be acknowledged as a province that offers a quality experience. The awards are a reflection of the staff, from the manager down.” Lynley was a finalist in the NZ General Manager of the Year category and executive chef James Sievewright was a finalist

Parents and caregivers will enjoy the abundance of exhibits. Mums, dads, parents-to-be, grandparents and caregivers will gain an insight into everything from bump to beyond at the 2019 Marlborough Parents Centre Parent and Child Expo. Marlborough Parents Centre president Rebecca Toms says attendees will have an abundance of exhibits to explore at this year’s expo, the major annual fundraiser for the Blenheim centre. “We have actually got over 50 exhibitors this year, it’s one of our biggest ones yet, so that’s really exciting,” Rebecca says. Exhibits will include everything from health and beauty to clothing and kidswear, childcare, party and event planning as well as lifestyle and creative industries. Rebecca has been involved with the Marlborough Parents Centre for six years, and says the expo has been running for at least 10. It has continued to grow each year, she says. “There are childcare providers, there’s baby and

family orientated stalls like Baby on the Move; there’s lots of children’s clothing, there will be household items like Tupperware, Arbonne and health and wellbeing specialists … There’s a huge range of exhibitors this year.” Many of the stalls will hold demonstrations and all will have representatives to chat to. “It’s going to be a really busy and exciting expo this year,” Rebecca says. “There will be something for everyone.” Held at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000, the event will have plenty of entertainment for kids and will include raffles and a silent auction to help with fundraising. Volunteers from the centre have already been busy kicking off the entertainment, hiding 20 painted rocks in four different Blenheim parks. Featuring the new Parents Centre logo, a prize will be given to each person who finds a rock and brings it along to the Marlborough Parents Centre site at the expo. Goody bags will also be given to the first 350 people through the door. “We’ve got entertainment throughout the day, we’ve got Bunnings Warehouse doing a kids DIY area, making hula hoops … there will be three bouncy castles and Harold the Giraffe will be there,” Rebecca says. There will also be baby goats, face painting, a colouring competition, a baby play area, and a group from Momentum Dance Company will be performing a demo. Part of a nationwide network, the Marlborough Parents Centre provides education and quality

Feature

support for parents and caregivers on everything from childbirth to parenting. The Marlborough centre has been operating for more than 30 years and is run by parents for parents. Funds raised from the expo will go towards enabling them to continue offering parenting courses, with hopes to introduce even more. “[The money] goes towards generally helping with the running of our courses, and we would quite like to introduce some new courses but we need funds to do that,” Rebecca says. The Marlborough Centre currently offers ChildBirth Education (Antenatal) classes, Baby and You, for mums or dads and newborns, Moving and Munching, for babies aged four months and older, as well as Positive Parenting Courses. Rebecca began her journey with the Marlborough Parents Centre when she had her son six years ago and quickly moved from being a visitor to a committee member, before becoming the president of the group. “I signed up to attend the antenatal classes, so I did the antenatal class and then I did Baby and You. At the end of that the people at the time came along and said about volunteering and what it was all about and that they needed volunteers,” she says. “I decided I needed a bit more adult conversation at the time and I wanted to get out of the

house a bit more so I decided to go and join the committee.” She began her role at the centre as the coordinator of the expo, and has held different roles over the years. Rebecca remains a big advocate for the support the centre offers to new parents. “With our antenatal and parenting courses that we have, the whole idea is that we are equipped and we are providing you with the resources and the tools for the whole parenting journey,” she says. On top of the educational factor, being a part of the centre is also a chance to network with others in the same boat, Rebecca adds. “It’s that whole support, the new parent thing is quite daunting, the unknown. When you join up to do our antenatal classes you’re joining people at the same stage as you are. “It’s a support network and life long friends, and I think it’s just knowing that you’re not alone.” As well as raising funds for the centre, the expo is a chance to share knowledge with the wider Marlborough Community and raise awareness of the resources available in the area. The expo is this Sunday September 22 from 10am until 2.30pm at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000. Entry is $2 per adult, while children under the age of 13 are free. www.parentandchildexpo.co.nz

There will be plenty of tips and advice for expecting and new parents.

A real risk of falling behind the rest of the world – the great GM debate Heather Chalmers Farmers have joined calls from scientists and experts for a conversation about genetic modification, saying New Zealand risks falling behind the rest of the world. Federated Farmers president Katie Milne says discussions need to be held. “We’re all agreed climate change and our international commitments on greenhouse gas reductions present big challenges, but we’re currently sidelining a potential major tool that could help farmers tackle ruminant methane and excreted nitrogen,” Milne says. “It’s bordering on ridiculous that our current laws on GM have forced AgResearch to go to the United States, Milne says.

Dr Greg Bryan says forage scientists have been experimenting in the US to find out whether potentially environmentally sustainable grass - one that strikes a balance between reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and greater tolerance to drought and farm productivity – will perform in the field. Plant and Food Research chief executive David Hughes says gene editing is emerging as a real option in facing challenges in food production, medicine, conservation and climate change. “We have never developed GM foods for commercial use and industry does not fund us to do so. Yet our discovery-focused teams routinely use gene technologies to further our knowledge. “They’ve learned that gene editing can help us achieve our traditional breeding targets around

There needs to be more discussion around genetic modification. sustainability and nutrition much faster. “Gene editing offers game-changing capability well beyond earlier GM tools,” Hughes says. Expert Dr David Penman says there is a need to move on to a much more nuanced view. No review of gene technologies has been carried out in New Zealand since 2001 and the subsequent amendments to the Hazardous Substances and New

Organisms Act (1996). The panel chose to consider the implications of the technology using three areas: healthcare, environmental pest management and primary industries. Co-chair Barry Scott, Professor of molecular genetics at Massey University, says both pros and cons come into play. “The benefits of using gene-editing technology included that it could provide a useful tool for

supporting competitive advantage and for protecting New Zealand’s flora and fauna. “There were concerns about unintended consequences, a need for better understanding of the relevant genetics, and that use of gene-editing technology would compromise the New Zealand brand and any ‘GM free’ competitive advantage. “In healthcare, there was an appetite to consider certain therapeutic gene-editing applications as long as it was safe and negative side effects are reduced or mitigated. Applications should improve wellbeing and be focussed on solutions to health issues. “There is also an urgent need for a wide and well-informed discussion across New Zealand’s diverse communities … in order to inform any regulatory change,” Scott says.

A farmer’s bid for council My name is Scott Adams and I am an active farmer who has put himself forward to stand in the Wairau/Awatere ward in this year’s local government election. I live in Renwick and work within the electorate, so I have a connection to the area. At 33 years old, I am the youngest candidate standing for council. It is important that council consist of councillors from a cross section of ages so that views and issues faced by different generations have their voices heard. While only in my mid 30’s I have been a company director for my family farming business for the last 11 years and have been actively involved in all management and decision making over this time. Along the way, I have studied for a NZ Diploma in AgriBusiness Management and want to bring, sensible business and sustainable management skills to council. I am from a family that has

farmed the Northbank of the Wairau plains since 1851. Our business operation has a diverse make up that includes pastoral farming, viticulture, forestry and native forest regeneration.

“With Marlborough known to have dry summers, we need to enable and encourage water storage...” The breakdown consists of 400 hectares pastoral, 24 canopy hectares of Sauvignon Blanc grapes established in 2005/06, 300ha of recently established exotic forestry as a carbon offset and 800 hectares of original and regenerating native forest that as a business we value greatly. We have also started a wildling pine eradication program in this native forest in partnership with the Marlborough District Council that also doubles as a home for over 500 beehives.

As a new father, I feel that the actions of council today and in the coming years will be important in ensuring farming and other primary production remains a viable career path for the next generation of Marlburians. For the last four years, I have been representing the rural community on the Marlborough District Council’s Rural Advisory Group as a federated farmers representative. I have been involved with Marlborough Federated Farmers since 2012, becoming the Meat and Wool chairman in 2014 as well as the vice president for the last five years. Standing for council is a continuation of my commitment and hard work in making sure the rural community’s voice is heard loud and clear at the council table. It is time to have an enthusiastic younger mind involved in the planning and governance of Marlborough to make it the best place

Scott Adams. in New Zealand. I am concerned that I have witnessed rates raise over the last few years at a rate far exceeding inflation. I feel that council needs to focus on core services and advocate for a policy of limiting rates raises to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The issues that I want to address is water quality and safe swim-

ming in our regions’ rivers. To help make this work we need to look back to what we used to have, which was the Catchment Board. The ideas that were tried and tested, and were successful by the old Catchment Board need to be brought back so that council and the community as a whole make the changes to improve the district’s water quality to what it was when things were better than they are today. With Marlborough known to have dry summers, we need to enable and encourage water storage so that we as Marlburians make Marlborough positively progress into the future. We need to remember that we are the guardians of our land and water resources for the next generation. Therefore, a vote for me is a much needed vote for a new face and voice on council with a fresh new approach.

‘Half-baked idea’ pays off as Redbacks become Wolves Peter Jones

Marlborough may not have a presence this year on the national volleyball stage, but a group of the province’s top women players have found a new pathway to compete at the top level. With the Marlborough Redbacks, the province’s female representative team for the past few seasons, unable to field a competitive side this year the future looked grim for the region’s talented volleyballers. However a “half-baked idea”, cooked up by Marlborough’s Katie Cunningham and her Wellington counterpart Lauren Bidois-Turrell, has allowed those players with an appetite to show their skills at a high level to be satisfied. “Myself and a couple of other Wellington girls competed at the provincial champs this year and that’s when we came up with this half-baked idea of playing together … basically taking the best of both regions and forming one team,” explained Cunningham. She and several of her former Redbacks team mates opted to join forces with the Capital Wolves club for the season and it has quickly become a successful partnership. The Redbacks had previously competed in the southern zone, encompassing the South Island, and had found the travel commitment onerous. By joining with the Wellington-based

Wolves, and playing under their club name, they competed in the central zone, covering the bottom of the North Island, effectively reducing the associated costs and travel time involved. “In order to be a part of that competition it meant we had to adopt their name and their club. Basically that meant we didn’t have to travel down to Dunedin or Christchurch, just pop over to Wellington,” explained Cunningham. “The travel commitments [to the southern zone tournaments] put a lot of people off. This year we would have had a weekend tournament in Dunedin, a two-day tournament in Christchurch then another two-day tournament in Nelson, all three weekends backto-back. It was just demanding too much.” The new-look Capital Wolves crew, who don’t have a full-time coach or manager, got together in June and have competed at three tournaments so far, with immediate success. In early August they were placed second in a Palmerston North tournament, then they returned later in the month to the Manawatu for another event, involving stronger teams, where they finished fourth. By doing that they became eligible for a Wellington event, staged two weekends back, from which the top two sides qualify to compete at division one nationals in October. Again the Wolves finished fourth,

Even if the combined crew had finished in the top two qualifying positions they were not planning on attending the nationals as there were not enough players able to commit after such a late start to their season. “I’m really impressed with how well the girls have got along and how well it has all worked out,” said Cunningham. “We have always just had Marlborough Redbacks … so it was a big change collaborating with Wellington. “This has been an experimen-

tal year because we have never played in this zone before and it has been a success. I’m glad we gave it a go. We started late so next year hopefully we can try and get the players to commit early on. Then we can commit to doing nationals as well which will be really exciting.” Along with Cunningham the other Blenheim players involved are Isabella Rohloff, Louise Brown, Maddy Croad, Mary Schneier, Jordan Peipi, Amy Rowse and, at the beginning of the campaign, Abbey Greenwood. Twin sisters Malia and Etelini Manoa, former Marlborough

Girls’ College volleyball and netball stand-outs, are also part of the squad, Malia travelling from Christchurch to be involved. The Capital Wolves squad: Katie Cunningham (Blenheim), Lauren Bidois-Turrell (Wellington), Lucy Penrice (Hawke’s Bay), Etelini Manoa (Blenheim/Wellington), Malia Manoa (Blenheim/ Christchurch), Isabella Rohloff (Blenheim), Louise Brown (Blenheim), Maddy Croad (Blenheim), Mary Schneier (USA/Blenheim), Sophia Higgs (Wellington), Jordan Peipi (Blenheim), Amy Rowse (Blenheim), Helen Wilson (Wellington).

Sport Donald included: Marlborough will be represented in the newlycreated Touch NZ premier league. Marlborough Girls’ College student Ella Donald has been named in the Te Waipounamu (South Island) squad, one of five new franchises. They include Manukau Raiders (South Auckland), Northern Strikers (North Harbour and Northland), Metro (Auckland and Waitakere) plus Barbarians (the rest of NZ), who will generate the men’s and women’s teams that will contest the league, which starts on October 19 and will be televised and live streamed. Donald has also been selected in the NZ under-20 mixed touch squad. Moli chosen: Marlborough Boys’ College prop forward Monu Moli’s imposing form this season has been recognised nationally, the year 12 student selected for the New Zealand Schools Barbarians side. The Barbarians are seen as a stepping stone to the NZ Schools team. They play against Australia under-18 and Fiji Schools in Hamilton. Good news for Tepuia: Tokomaru netballer Haze Tepuia has been named in the New Zealand under-20 men’s netball squad after impressing during the recent Tasman men’s matches in Porirua.

Rugby connection stretches to Chatham Islands Peter Jones Former Marlborough rugby identity Bruce “Bruiser” Bromwich got a recent reminder of just how small the rugby world is. Bruce and partner Eve Sutherland live on the remote Chatham Islands, having moved there in January with their children Bella and Charlie. Eve is principal at the Te One School, one of three small primary schools on the Islands. Bruce, who played over 100 premier games for Central, captained them to a grand final win and represented Marlborough, RNZAF and the New Zealand Defence Force, remains active on the Islands rugby scene. He helps organise junior games and the occasional “premier” game when the opportunity arises, or a Kiwi team comes to visit. At the recent Chatham Islands club junior rugby awards on the main island Charlie picked up an award and, much to Bruce’s amusement, there was a pair of Renwick Rugby Club shorts as part of the prize. “I had to explain that I played my first club games in Marlborough for [Renwick] in 1996 before coming back to the province and joining Central,” said Bruce. He said that the Renwick connection had come about through a highlysuccessful visit by the Renwick under-10s JAB side to the Chathams in September last year. “You see kids with jackets, bags everything here with Renwick on it”, he added, noting that Charlie was

Bruce explained that there are three groups of rugby players on the Islands. “Nippers, a middle group which my kids are in, then a few seniors. “Being such a small group the community does a fantastic job here to keep it going. “Everyone, netball/rugby players and parents, meets down at the club here on a Saturday and it’s just a bit of a training in groups, then a wee game amongst each other … very old school. “There is only about 50-odd kids at Te One School and pretty much most the boys and girls play rugby down here”, he added.

Gase fights in Australia Marlborough’s Gase Sanita, one of New Zealand’s most accomplished amateur mixed martial artists, made her much-anticipated professional debut in Melbourne recently. The 29-year-old faced off against Australia’s Sara Collins in a featherweight bout during the Hex Fight Series 19. After three extremely-tight rounds, Collins got the judges’ decision. The fight ended with Collins controlling Sanita from the back and working a few tight choke attempts, along with ground ‘n’ pound. However, despite her defeat, Sanita showed great toughness during her debut in the professional ranks. It was also a debut for Melbournebased Collins, another decorated martial artist. An experienced judo practitioner, Collins has medalled in multiple competitions both at home and abroad and trains under UFC veteran Dan Kelly. In 2018, Sanita made history by becoming the first female to capture a second world title at the IMMAFWMMAA Unified World Championships which were held in Bahrain.

Brilliant sailing marks women’s regatta Peter Jones Over 100 sailors delivered some stunning performances on the water during the third Mud House Women’s Regatta hosted by the Waikawa Boating Club at the weekend. Racing in a wide range of conditions over four races, the regatta was contested by a record turnout of 17 boats, with crews ranging from relative racing novices to current and former national champions. Racing got underway late on Saturday due to a lack of wind, however the programmed two races were able to be completed. Sunday dawned drier than Saturday, with extremely light winds testing the crews. As the breeze filled in later in the day Race Officer Viv Butcher was able to set a tight and testing windward-leeward course as the final act of the regatta. Close racing in Division 2 saw Lyttleton skipper Karen Selway

score a fine double with her Young 88 Abracadabra. Selway sailed a near-perfect regatta, taking line honours in all four races as well as winning three of the four races on handicap. The Division 2 podium was rounded out by Waikawa boat ‘Freaky’, the Farr 727 helmed by experienced ocean sailor Jill Bethell, with Waikawa’s Nicky Jenkins sailing the Hanse 385 ‘On Appro’ third. Division 1 delivered some top racing from many of the best women sailors in the country. Double Olympic medallist Jo Aleh took to the water aboard Satellite Spy, helmed by Carla Bennet, and contributed to a perfect four-from-four for line honours to the Ross 40.

Tasman get timely reminder Mako women too strong for Whio

Peter Jones You would hardly term it a wake-up call. After all, the Tasman Mako have been probably the most wide awake team running around the NPC so far this season. Sunday’s battling 21-17 victory over North Harbour at Trafalgar Park was more of a timely reminder that, if you are even slightly off your game in the Mitre 10 premiership, you will pay for it. Fortunately for the Mako, they found a way to get the job done against a wellorganised Harbour outfit who certainly deserved more than the one point they picked up in Nelson. Immediately following a clinical 80-minute effort against Counties Manukau the previous week, the Mako turned on an error-laden first half. It began at set piece time. Their scrum was bullied, their lineout accuracy went out the window and they were hustled and harassed at breakdown time. Harbour were good value for their 17-7 lead at the break, having got their tactics spot on, an effort bearing the hallmark of their coach, former Mako mentor Kieran Keane. He would not have been so happy with their second 40 minutes though as the Mako, buoyed by some key substitutions, controlled possession, applied pressure and reversed the flow of penalties from referee Richard Kelly’s whistle. Pressure produces points and eventually the tries came, albeit the critical one through a penalty try, a seven-point referee’s gift which matched that awarded to Harbour in the first spell. At least he was consistent. The Mako will have learned a lot from the match. Top teams need to be able to cope with on-field adversity and scoreboard pressure, a rare situation for the Mako so far this season who have held healthy halftime leads in all of their previous encounters. Although they definitely have, as they

A first half shut-out of the Taranaki Whio propelled the Tasman Mako women to a comfortable Farah Palmer Cup championship division win at Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth on Saturday. The Mako prevailed 36-22 in the “game of two halves” performance. The southerners led 26-0 after a commanding first half, notching up a four-try bonus point before the break as they made the most of a steady wind at their backs. However, it was a more committed and accurate home side which came out after oranges winning the second half 22-10 but not able to bridge the gap created at half time. The Mako forwards, with loosies Tamara Silcock, skipper Jess Foster-Lawrence and college student Leah Miles to the fore, were tenacious at the breakdown and generally dominated the set pieces, although a few lineouts went astray. They provided quality ball to a backline with potent attacking threats throughout. Halfback Jamie Paenga was mighty impressive, along with Rebeccah Kersten and fullback Bethan Manners, while Hayley Hutana, Jess Drummond and Wai Greig formed an inside back combination possessing both skill and rugby smarts. Next up for the Mako is a match against Otago, in Oamaru on Saturday.

Photo: Shuttersport. inevitably say, “plenty to work on”, the fact the competition leaders battled back into a match that could have slipped away suggested a resolve that will be needed if they are to go all the way in 2019. Mako co-head coach Clarke Dermody put a part of his side’s early set piece woes down to “mind-set”. “Harbour took us on through the front door, at the set piece,” he said. “If that’s shaky it tends to flow through our game, it was almost catching. In that first half we just couldn’t get going because of that.” Dermody said there were no major tactical changes made at halftime. “It was more a bit of a mental barb around bringing a bit more intensity in our carry and our collision, around the breakdown. “In the first half they were sending a lot [of players] in and slowing our ball down. That was good tactics from them and we didn’t quite match that. “Once we got that area sorted we were able to get go-forward and hold the ball

… then gaps started to open. Were we quite clinical enough? Probably not, but to get a win like that says a lot about the team. “We are in a position [on the table] where every team is going to bring a lot of intensity and their A game every week … because of how we have been playing. If you are off a wee bit then anyone can beat you. “I feel our guys understand that, but today was probably a good wee reminder of what it actually looks like.” For Mako fans the Harbour match was something of a reality check. The fashion in which their side had disposed of their first five opponents may have created some false optimism and feeling that the men in red and blue only had to turn up to win. Harbour’s stern challenge could not have come at a better time for a side, and its supporters, who both have high expectations. Waikato await in Hamilton on Saturday. How the Mako respond after a belowpar performance will be significant.

Speedskater Erin impresses Classifieds during Indonesian trip Peter Jones

Marlborough speed skater Erin Green has furthered her top-level experience with a recent taste of international competition. Last month, Erin joined forces with 10 skaters from South Canterbury and Nelson for a trip to the V3 Open, the Tangerang Regent Cup and the Bekasi Open in Indonesia. The banked track competitions attracted skaters from India, Hong Kong, Indonesia and this country, with approximately 300 speed skaters involved across all the grades.

Erin showed she was well up to the competition, landing several podium placings despite the hot conditions, which tested the stamina of the whole South Island contingent. In Tangerang, a suburb city of Indonesian capital Jakarta, she picked up individual bronze medals in the 500m, 1000m and relay. She also came home sixth in the 5000m elimination, involving 25 skaters, and finished fifth in the 200m time trial. She was placed sixth in the marathon. The final week of her trip saw the team compete at Bakasi, a commuter city to Jakarta.

rowly missed a third placing in the 1000m. Again, she finished sixth in the marathon, the second best Kiwi, a top effort in testing conditions and a highly promising result for her future in the sport. NZ speed skating legend Bill Begg, a much-travelled and highly-rated coach who travelled with the team, told Erin’s folks that she had achieved “excellent” results. He wrote, “We were very proud of her efforts as no doubt you were. It helped push her up the ladder to where the other top girls are. Instead of chasing the field she is now one of them.”

Younger tennis players given another option

SITUATIONS VACANT

Peter Jones Expect to see some fresher, younger faces in this season’s popular President’s Grade tennis competition. In a bold move by the Marlborough Tennis Association, this season the age of participants is dropped from 35 to 19, opening the door for younger blood in what has been traditionally an event for the more senior players. Competitors must be 19 or older on October 1, 2019 to qualify for the competition. Play in the WK+ Advisors and Accountants president’s grade begins on Tuesday, October 15. MTA president Lindsay Parkinson said the age eligibility was changed through public demand. “Other than the premier competition, the association didn’t have a team competition for those aged 19 to 35. Thus, an average, fairly social player would have few options until he or she reached 35 years. “The Marlborough Tennis Club’s leagues, which run in winter and summer, are open to all ages but it is an individual competition and not a team competition - and this is not interclub. “We are hoping that by lowering the age restriction it will boost [president’s grade] division four in particular and bring more people back to the game.” There is also change to the local premier competition, scheduled to be played on Wednesdays. Unlike previous years the Wine Brokers New Zealand premier competition will run until Christmas – four teams (two from Rapaura, one from Marlborough and one from Renwick) will compete over three rounds, concluding with a finals night on December 11. After Christmas there will be a competitive Super Series competition which will be open to teams of two players and will not be club-based – there is expected to be two divisions. This competition will conclude in early March and will also be played on Wednesday evenings.
