“It was in full flight; it was big and sleek and with a cat’s head and a huge tail,” she says. Along with partner Warren Lewis, Juliearna was travelling on SH1 about 11.30pm, returning

Help needed to get tiny train on track Paula Hulburt

A Picton icon runs the risk of being cut back if more people cannot be found to help. Picton rail and sail has been transporting happy passengers of all ages around its foreshore railway line for more than 50 years. But it urgently needs volunteers to help ensure the iconic service can continue to run for the next half century. Vice president Brian Henstock says that for the first time in its

history, the service may have to be cut back. The retired navy warrant officer wants to help ensure the sail boat and railway service continues to spread joy. “You can’t help but smile when you see the train,” he says. “We’ve been in operation for over 50 years, and our price is probably the cheapest in the world at only 20 cents

More people are needed during school holidays and when cruise ships arrive in Picton. Ideally 60 volunteers are needed, and the team are down to about 40. “For the first time we’re

looking at cutting back as we just don’t have the people to drive the train. “Sadly, people are so busy now and our numbers have fallen,” he says Brian says the rewards are well worth donating some time. “There was a little boy who was sailing one of the boats and he asked when he had to bring it back. “I told him when he was finished, and he couldn’t believe his luck.” Adrianne Healey has been a volunteer for the last five years. “A friend of mine did it and it sounded like so much fun.

There have been numerous reports of large cats in New Zealand’s South Island, with some dating back to the early 1900s. A pregnant puma was documented as having escaped from a circus in Lyttleton harbor and the possibility of using cougars was discussed as a way of controlling the thriving deer population in the Canterbury foothills. But officials have always deemed the sightings to be of a feral cat. Juliearna says she had slowed down

our headlights, right out of the blue. It was so quick; it was either chasing something or had heard our car.” The Escape to Picton owner says she has no doubt that what she saw was a Puma. “I couldn’t live with myself if I’d kept quiet and then it attacked a small child or livestock. “A big cat isn’t the first thing that we naturally thought of, after all we don’t live in a country where you expect to see them. But that’s what it was,” she says. “I don’t scare easily, I’ve seen some shit, but it was big, quick and black and I was struck by how big it’s tail was. “If that was a feral cat, it’s a feral cat on steroids. Curiosity killed the cat but it’s not the cat I’m worried about.” Ministry of Primary Industries has been contacted for comment.

Hospital staff ward off flu Paula Hulburt Reporter

paula@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Busy hospital staff can now get flu shots on the wards while they work. Infection control staff are offering flu vaccinations to nurses, doctors and clerical staff in all inpatient wards at Wairau Hospital. The move means vital personnel do not have to leave the wards at all. Previously, vaccinated staff had to wait 20 minutes to be given the all clear to return to work. A spokeswoman from Nelson

Marlborough Health says staff can continue to work but a nurse will be on hand to ensure they are still safe. “We have vaccinators on wards so that staff can ‘get done’ while they work and continue working while being observed for the mandatory 20-minute period – very convenient.” The flu jab is offered to 3,000 NMDHB staff. Last year a record 1.3 million New Zealanders were immunised against influenza, after the northern hemisphere experienced a particularly fatal flu season.

But health bosses are warning people not to be complacent with seven confirmed cases already confirmed at Nelson Hospital. The peak season is typically around July and last year saw a last-minute surge of people booking vaccinations. Nelson Marlborough Health chief medical officer and paediatrician Nick Baker says, there has been a steady rise in vaccination levels over the past five years across Marlborough. “The increasing demand reflects increasing community understanding of just how

severe influenza can be and the importance of efforts to protect people and prevent it spreading. “Flu vaccination is especially important for anyone who has a health problem that means they are less able to cope with flu. Any condition that makes it harder to breathe and cough well makes influenza particularly severe,” he says. “We encourage every person who is eligible for free vaccination to get this done as soon as possible.” Vaccination is free for pregnant women, people aged 65 or older, children 4-years-old or under who have been hospitalised for

respiratory illness or have a history of significant respiratory illness. Nick says it is especially important to vaccinate children with any respiratory illnesses. “While the common cold can be nasty for children especially infants, influenza is much worse. “… it’s harder for them to breathe, cough or cope with high fevers and congested noses,” he says. “Our overall message for parents is to consider whether there is anything about their child that means they are likely to cope less well with flu or suffer more complications.”

Fire fear closes urgent care clinic

Fears a fire had started at Marlborough’s Urgent Care clinic saw patients turned away and sent to Accident and Emergency. A “strong electrical smell” meant the Blenheim building was evacuated for an hour while fire crews investigated. Patients were turned away at the door and sent to Wairau Hospital, just metres away. And a fire drill the following week meant patients were again directed to the hospital. Chief executive of Marlborough Public Health Organisation Beth Tester says that patients were able to return to the clinic once the building had been given the all clear. “We had a fire evacuation recently and for an hour patients were met at urgent care and deferred to ED. “They came back once we had the all clear; this was for safety reasons. “We have a very good working relationship with ED and work in collaboration when there is a need which is rare,” she says. The Hospital Road centre is open seven days a week between 8am and 8pm and staffed by GPs, medical officers and a nurse practioner. The non-profitable trust was opened in 2017 to help relieve pressure on the hospital’s emergency department. Both the false and alarm and the drill earlier this month are only times the clinic has had to close since it was open, says Beth. A spokeswoman from Nelson Marlborough District Health Board says any closure would be reported to Accident and Emergency as a matter of course.

ANZAC DAY: The clock did not chime, and the crowd was silent as the mournful tones of The Last Post rang out. A crowd of more than 1000 people turned out for the 11am service at Seymour Square in Blenheim. From returned servicemen and women to current service personnel and members of the public of all ages, the Marlborough community turned out in force to pay their respects. Photo: Paula Hulburt.

Parking payment made easy Matt Brown The days of scrabbling around for coins for the parking meter are set to become a thing of the past. A new scheme will see olderstyle lollipop meters ditched in favour of a new ticketless system. And a practice meter has been set up to help motorists get to grips with the arrival of a new Pay by Plate parking initiative. Marlborough District Council’s parking sub-committee chairman councillor Brian Dawson says he wants people to be familiar with the new machines before they are rolled out across Blenheim. “We want people to feel comfortable with the new system and we hope having a test terminal will help with that,” he says. The new Pay by Plate system will see drivers enter their vehicle plate number and the desired parking time at the terminal. They can then use coins or debit cards to pay for their parking. A new ‘Pay My Park’ app will also allow drivers to top up or pay for their parking remotely. Marlborough District Council

Marlborough District Council customer service officer Marianne Vertelman has been trained to teach motorists the ins and outs of the new pay by plate parking meters. Photo: Matt Brown. projects and contracts manager Robyn Searle says you won’t need to go to a meter that’s near your park, instead, just pay at the first one you come across as you do your shopping. If drivers need to move spaces, the new system allows people to move between kerbside parks and use unspent parking credit for that day. Parking time limits and tariffs will remain the same. Brian says the system is “really easy to use.” “You just enter your plate number and time, press ok, pay, then walk away.” Trained helpers will be on the street to assist for around a

month after the new meters went “live”. Implementation of the new system will be carried out in stages, with stage one starting in Queen, Market, Scott, Maxwell and High streets. The project is expected to be completed by mid to late June, weather permitting. Robyn says the old meters were getting vandalized “on a disturbing scale.” “It’s well overdue. We have more and more going out of order.” A maximum of $320,000 is budgeted for the new system which will see around 170 of the old meters replaced with 24 pay by plate machines.

Marlborough’s new bishop to make NZ history Charles Anderson

Marlborough has a new Bishop and he’s set to make history. Bishop-Elect Steve Maina is set to be Marlborough’s new Anglican Church head. Steve is now Bishop-Elect of the Anglican Diocese of Nelson which covers the top of the South Island – from Greymouth to Kaikoura. After Steve takes up the role, he will be the first Bishop of African descent in New Zealand. He hopes the position will be about letting people be open to having faith in their lives. “I think New Zealand is becoming very secular and individualistic and I feel there is something we can offer in that space as Christians,” he says. “We have a message of hope in a world that is very fragmented.” Steve, originally from Nairobi will replace Bishop Richard Ellena, who retired at the end of last year. The bishop elect made the move to New Zealand 10 years ago to take on the role of national director of the Anglican Mission Organisation in Christchurch. He was then invited to put himself

forward for the Bishop role. Steve describes he and his wife Watiri as ‘Kenyan Kiwis” who will soon move up to Nelson to take on the role, which covers the Top of the South, in August. “My vision is to see faith having a bearing in society. “We think to be healthy we need a good job and a good education, but we have forgotten about the spiritual aspect. “A lot of people feel when you have got everything going for you why do you need God? Then something happens that can completely fragment our world. Then we begin to ask bigger questions.” Steve was raised in the church with a father and grandfather who were Anglican minsters in Nairobi. “I saw the love, our home was open to everyone,” he says. “There was always room for people from the street with a big pot of food. That has shaped in myself a Christianity that is open to others.” He says his goal is to let people know that they don’t need to be lonely. “New Zealand is too small for people to feel like nobody cares and nobody loves.”

Hope in Hospice TUESDAY 30 April 2019

Hospice Marlborough plays a vital role in the community, reporter Paula Hulburt writes about her family’s experience. He’s enveloped in a comfy chair, TV remote control at the ready and looking through the menu trying to decide what to have for breakfast. Peter Batters, 71, from Picton, is at Hospice Marlborough while doctors work to get his medication at the best levels for him. He is frailer than he once was, each breath often a struggle, but behind the patina of illness he is still witty, outspoken and impossible to beat at Trivial Pursuits. He is still our dad. Dad has an end-stage illness that effects his lungs, he knows he will not be getting better but it’s thoughts of poached eggs that occupy him right now. They are the best he’s ever eaten he says. His room is lovely; a window looks over a grassed court yard and the resident cat, Lexie, shoots past on a mission only she knows about. She is full of beans having spent the night asleep on dad’s bed. There is a small vase of flowers on his table and a sign on the wall welcomes him by name. The sense of stillness does not threaten, it is peaceful and still. No threat of impending loss hangs heavy in the air, there is laughter and good times still to be had or gentle goodbyes to be bid. At first, dad was reluctant to set foot in the hospice, convinced he would never come out again. But as we have learnt as a family, it has so much more to offer. “Before I came in, I thought hospice was a place you came to die when no one could make you better. Once I got here though, it was very different. “The people are really very caring and will do everything they can to help you. “You feel that someone really cares for you,” Peter says.

The staff have been amazing. From treating dad as a real person, to listening to his jokes and giving help and advice when we floundered. So much of dad’s treatment has been invasive by necessity, here he has a choice again. He smiles again, is cheeky again and is far more relaxed. “You do feel like you matter, you don’t get just brushed under the carpet, there are people who care what happens. “The staff go beyond the call of duty to make you feel better, nothing’s too much trouble. “They are better able to care for someone with terminal issues than at a hospital,” he says. Three key groups were involved in setting up Hospice Marlborough, the Marlborough Hospice Trust, the Marlborough Hospice Foundation, and The Salvation Army. It relies entirely on private funding and the Trust must raise more than $700,000 from the community each year to keep the hospice operating. The support the staff have offered, both in the hospice and at home through community nursing has been invaluable. They have arranged a special bed, oxygen, walkers and helped with the paperwork that must be filled in when someone is sick. Palliative care specialist Beth Morgan is based at Hospice Marlborough. She put dad on a new medication regime which has undoubtedly prolonged his life. There will be no happy ending here, but there is so much to be grateful for. Even at time of worry, uncertainty and looming grief and we are truly thankful for the help and care dad has been given Dad, we are also very grateful for you enjoy those poached eggs.

Opera comes to Blenheim Blenheim has never had an Opera House – until now. The opening night of the Phantom of the Opera next week will take on the formality and atmosphere of a traditional opera house. For this unique opening night of their 2019 season, the talented musical ensemble, formerly known as the Blenheim Operatic Society, desire to re-kindle the ultimate pleasure of “A Night at the Opera” In this popular Andrew Lloyd Webber production the activities of the Paris Opera House, “Palais Garnier” can be transformed to the ambience of what is happening here

Saul’s Phantom commute Charles Anderson

Saul Gibney’s commute has been longer than most. For the past seven months the actor has clocked up hundreds of kilometres commuting to Blenheim from Nelson to rehearse his role in Phantom of the Opera. Blenheim Musical Theatre’s latest production begins next week, and Saul has been cast as lead character Christine’s lover, Raoul. But he almost missed his chance as he was unable to attend the original auditions. “The role has been great,” says Saul. “It’s one of those bucket list roles that I’ve always wanted to do.” “But after the auditions they

were struggling to cast this particular role, so Nelson Youth Theatre mentioned me to the Blenheim producers. I drove over on a random Tuesday and auditioned.” He became the only Nelsonian in the cast, having to head over the hill up to four times a week for several months. “It’s been pretty intense, but the cast has been really welcoming and I haven’t felt like an outsider at all.” The musical tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a

new star Saul, who will spend two weeks in Blenheim during the performance, also hopes that Nelsonians will come over for the experience. He already knows people several making the trip. “It will be well worth it.” The show is on from May 8-18. Tickets range from $25 to $75 and can be purchased through Ticketek. The Marlborough Weekly has a double pass to the show to give away. Just let us know why you want to go to the show and email paula@marlboroughmedia to enter the draw. Closing date for entries is Monday 6 May.

Fire crew step up to challenge Paula Hulburt Reporter

paula@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

A lack of tall buildings in Blenheim has seen the Rarangi Rural fire crew make the most of their surroundings. Five members are training hard for the upcoming Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge on 18 May. And the steps to Monkey Bay have taken a pounding as the team utilise them for training. Carrying loads up to 25kg, the five-strong team meet each week, running up and down the steep stairs up to 25 times without stopping. For team captain Scottie Henry, the steps have proven to be a

great training tool. “We use them to train all year and are there two or three times a week but make sure to all get together once a week to train as a team. “Urban stations have towers they can train on, but we don’t and going into Blenheim so often would have been a lot of travelling,” he says. Alongside teammates Gary Graham, Steve Smith, Janelle White and Andy Ruffman, Scottie will return to Auckland for the challenge to help raise vital funds for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. It will be the third time the team have taken part in the challenge, which attracts entrants from across New Zealand.

“We do punch above our weight here,” Scottie says. Blenheim Rural firefighter Steve Smith joined-up after a chance chat. “We were just sitting in the truck and Steve said he’d heard about it [the challenge] and decided to do it with us. “He’s been great; he fitted right in.” Wearing weights around their wrists, on their chests and carrying weighted backpacks, members are a familiar sight on the steps as they clock up the kilometers. Scottie, who is also a St John’s medic, says the Marlborough landscape means they must keep fit. “We get exposed to climbing

mountains, long shifts and do try to keep our fitness levels up. “I had to back off training a bit for two or three months through injury and it was a hell of a shock.” The crew are entering as a team but taking part in individual challenges. Scottie says that during the challenge itself, which takes them 60 floors up,

there is more going on than people might realise. “There are a whole bunch of people to say hi to, if you can that is! “Some of them compete in disgustingly fast times of around 8-and-a-half minutes but if we can do it in under 20, that’s a win.” To make a donation visit secure. leukaemia.net.nz

Anzac Day in photos: Beautiful photos. Wilax

Went to the dawn parade in Picton this morning. Think we will go to the Blenheim one next year. Much more moving. Val Packer

Are urgent care’s prices too high poll: My opinion is it’s a fair price to reflect cost BUT people

can’t afford this. It costs our health system a lot more if these issues go on to become worse. It needs to be weighed up for a person to get treated earlier against the long term cost to our health system. Fair cost shouldn’t come into it for the individual. (Hope this makes sense!). Kerry Hamilton Big cat sighted in Marlborough: It’s by ward they seen it they reckon lol. Jordan Foster Let’s go find it. Court Stewart

URGENT CARE PRICES TOO HIGH Weekly poll: : It's a holiday weekend, so if you need to see a doctor it means a trip to Urgent Care which could set you back $70. Is this a fair price?

69%

No, it's far too much

Yes, it's fair enough

Marlborough Chat The control and eradication of wilding conifers and pines in Marlborough’s back country is a difficult and important issue. Farmers in the Waihopai and upper Wairau valleys have been warning about this problem for decades and it is good that the wider community is now taking an interest. Invasive trees are not just a pest on farms: their spread will permanently alter South Marlborough’s sensitive mountain land-

However, MDC’s Regional Pest Management Plan 2018 did not include high-risk conifer species, as proposed programmes were deemed insufficient. I have requested information under the Official Information Act on advice provided by DOC to MDC as part of their programme to control the growth of wilding conifers.

The sticking point is always who pays. By rights, that should be those who planted these trees in the first place. Aerial drops of Pinus contorta seeds were funded by local and central government in an effort – an experiment - to counter erosion. Marlborough landowners who protested the drops were assured the Forest Service would eradicate early spread. With the exception of a few at-

tempts including one-off eradication payments from council to landowners, this did not happen. Modern technology means there are now more options available, like drones which spray individual trees, rather than dropping people on steep, now impenetrable country. But, any solution comes at a cost and while discussions continue, landowners remain stuck with this ever-growing issue. Advert.

Ekos is an international non-profit enterprise that develops, pilots and scales up innovative approaches to financing a sustainable future. Sean Weaver brings a wealth of experience to his role as Director of Ekos. “I’ve worked for businesses, universities and community organisations, local and central government, Pacific Island governments, World Bank and African Development Bank,” Sean Weaver says Sean. The former Senior Lecturer in Environmental Studies at Victoria University also holds a PHD in Forestry. Sean’s main focus is financing forest conservation. “Carbon markets came along around 2006 and I spotted an opportunity to fund forest conservation efforts. Essentially, we help farmers replace beef and lamb revenue with revenue from carbon credits, so they can reforest erosion-prone lands without losing income. That’s the supply side. On the demand side, we work with businesses wanting to become zero carbon; we measure their carbon footprint and help reduce their CO2 emissions from electricity, waste, freight, air travel, fuel, etc. These businesses then buy carbon offsets (carbon credits) from our forest carbon projects and thereby finance forest conservation.” Sean has negotiated for Vanuatu at the UN Climate Change convention, the EU and the World Bank, and helped build numerous forest carbon projects in the Pacific region.

When Gina Botham worked for well-known local jeweller Noel Herd as a teenager, it ignited a love of jewellery. “I worked there, mostly selling, but I also got to play in the workshop during my lunchbreaks.” Gina had long left her job at Herd’s and had been doing other things when she bumped into Noel. “He had a little workshop at his house which was fun to visit, then I decided to build my passion into a wee business and was able to do my apprenticeship through Noel.” Gina started GMW Jewellery 9 years ago, working from home and because her business has been growing, last year she decided to open her own shop. At GMW Jewellery, we specialise in creating one-of-a-kind pieces. “People love bringing in their pre-loved jewellery which may be a precious heirloom handed down to them, but they won’t wear it because it’s not their style. So we can melt down the metal, reset the stone and recreate something they will wear.” GMW also has pre-made jewellery which make lovely gifts, with a good selection of silver, gold, diamonds, wedding and engagement rings available. “Come into the shop and have a look.” GMW Jewellery is located at 91 Weld Street, Redwoodtown.

David has been an accountant for 20 plus years, offering a full range of accountancy, taxation and business administration for businesses in Blenheim and throughout the Marlborough region. “I worked for various chartered accounting firms in Blenheim, then in 2009 I set up my own business – David Boon Accountant Ltd, with the aim to David Boon stay small and keep good contact with clients.” says David. “I offer the same services as any other accountancy firm, from general tax advice to preparation of tax returns, advice on cash flow, accountancy packages and so on.” David says when starting his business, he set up in his front lounge, put his name on the fence and went from there. “I enjoy working from my office in Redwoodtown – it’s a great location. My hours are flexible and because I realise clients are busy and may need to see me outside of office hours, that’s fine.” David is also a member of the local fire brigade. “I was operational for about 8 years, reaching the rank of Station Officer. I’ve taken a step back and am now involved with the training of the brigade.” When you're ready to work with a friendly, experienced accountant and trusted business advisor, phone David on 027 5793341 or email david@dbaccountant.co.nz.

Jackie Herkt’s real estate career began over two decades ago. She worked in two other firms before joining Bayleys Marlborough 2002 working alongside John Hoare marketing and selling rural properties. Jackie recently chose to launch out as a real estate agent herself, and now runs her own property portfolio, specialising in Jackie Herkt residential and lifestyle properties. “What I love about real estate is that no two days are ever the same,” says Jackie. “I meet so many different people along the way and I enjoy helping to reduce the stress that people have to go through to sell their property. Being the mother of three grown-up daughters and six grandchildren helps you meet and relate to a lot of people; I feel that I have empathy when working alongside them to achieve and obtain the best results for them.” Jackie says it’s still a buoyant property market in Marlborough and Bayleys continue to achieve fantastic results for its vendors. A fan of the exquisite Marlborough Sounds, when Jackie isn’t selling real estate, you’ll find her out on the water, fishing or boating or spending time with family and friends.

Two years ago, Paige and Jason Anderson started their own business – Anderson Architectural Design Ltd, a contemporary, residential design firm, which does everything from small reno’s to high-end builds. “I’ve been doing design for nearly 6 years now,” says Jason. “Initially I worked for a Nelson firm and then contracted out to Signature Homes for several years where I developed a real understanding of what a house costs and how the build process really works. While there, I did a design that was worth around 7 million dollars which is currently in its 3rd year of construction. So I’ve done a full range of different kind of designs.” Then in October 2017, Paige and Jason decided to move back to Blenheim and they set up AA Design. “Since then, we’ve been designing on projects all over the country in the Bay of Plenty, Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough, Christchurch and Queenstown Lakes.” Throughout the build process, Jason says they are very detail-oriented with their design work and get it all priced up from the outset so clients know where it’s all heading before they commit to finishing the plans. Anderson Architectural Design Ltd offers very competitive pricing for all new builds and renovation work. For more information, visit www.aadesign.nz.

Steve Austin came to lead Marlborough Museum 13 years ago. Now he is the Executive Director of Marlborough Heritage Trust. “We’d just opened Nelson’s multimillion-dollar museum, which was a very exciting project. Ready for another challenge, I could see Marlborough’s potential.” Previously, Steve was at The Dowse Art Steve Austin Museum, where he led a team looking after over 100,000 visitors a year. Before that Steve was an educator at City Gallery, Wellington – after lecturing in Education for 10 years. He worked with NZQA, and at the same time he was developing business support training and mentoring in the retail sector. Today, he is involved in Service Industry training as museums are part of that sector. “Marlborough Museum is a great place to work; there are always exciting exhibitions and projects. This year we are working on the legacy of Cook’s time at Ship Cove. It’s great to be a working historian in a museum, improving access to our nation’s heritage and inspiring people through objects and history. Connecting local history to national and international stories is a large part of my work. All this is a foundation to convey a strong sense of civic pride and regional identity for all Marlburians.”

23 years ago, electrician Gary Roberts began working with domestic appliances before joining Callahan and Martella Electrical Ltd where his primary focus is on commercial appliance repairs. “Generally, I repair commercial ovens and washing machines which is not always electrical, so I do mechanical repair work as well,” says Gary Roberts Gary. “I enjoy working at Callahan and Martella Electrical – the work is really varied, from fixing coffee machines to big commercial ovens at Pak’nSAVE, to commercial washing machines at rest homes. It’s an everchanging environment so I’m always seeing something I’ve never worked on before, so it’s challenging which is great – you name it, we can fix it!” As well as servicing Blenheim and Picton, Gary says Callahan and Martella service areas as far afield as Kaikoura, Rai Valley and various coves in the Marlborough Sounds, including resorts such as Bay of Many Coves. “We look after numerous supermarkets around the region and a lot of the wine industry and its cellar doors.” For prompt repair work and excellent service, you can rely on the expertise of Appliance Technician, Gary Roberts, who can take care of all your commercial appliances.

A chef by trade, Picton man Grant Orchard, now operates Katabatic Charters which specialises in tailor-made cruising, sightseeing, fishing and overnight charters. “My father was a wooden boat builder/ designer in the Marlborough region and the boat I am operating was one he didn’t quite get to compete. In his honour I finished the build, Grant Orchard in his style”, says Grant. With his work on mega yachts in the USA, Grant financed the build of the 46-foot launch which took over 8 years. “I’d come back with a pocketful of money, employ some guys, do the easy work and go back broke. I did that for 8 or 9 years and finally commissioned her in March 2013”, he says. Grant says Katabatic Charters is all about giving people a Marlborough Sounds experience from being out on the water, catching a fish and cooking it for them onboard. “People are sometimes concerned about the weather during Winter and the Spring months but there’s no better place to be! We have a diesel range onboard that burns 24/7 which keeps the boat cosy and warm.” Katabatic Charters main market is people who are want to explore some of the world’s best cruising areas.

Camino Rocoso claims Waterlea double Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Veteran jockey Chris Johnson and five-year-old gelding Camino Rocoso completed a notable double with wins in the feature races on both days of the Marlborough Racing Club’s meeting at Waterlea. After taking out the Kam Transport Marlborough Cup Prelude on Friday, the duo backed it up on Sunday with victory in the Cup race itself. Camino Rocoso prevailed by a length over Smoke House Bay, in the hands of Tina Comignaghi, with Duffers Creek third in a six-horse race. Overtheriver, who completed the Prelude/Cup double last year, ended up fifth. On Friday Camino Rosoco won the Cup Prelude by half a neck over sixyear-old Guy Fox, ridden by Sarah MacNab. The gelding’s win on Sunday was the fifth success of the meeting for the training partnership of John and Karen Parsons at Balcairn,

while Lisa Allpress was the most successful rider, saddling up five winners over the two days. The highly-experienced Allpress, who leads the jockey’s premiership with over 100 wins and almost $2 million in stakes, said she always enjoyed her time in Marlborough. “The course is beautiful and they look after us really well during the day … I really enjoy country racing.” Allpress would not be drawn on the recent well-publicized plans to cut some country meetings from the thoroughbred calendar, including Waterlea, but added, “if they still have meetings here and I am chasing a premiership I will be coming back to ride here.” The powerful Kevin Myers’ contingent from Whanganui won three races, while apprentice jockey Tina Comignaghi picked up three wins for the meeting. With reasonable crowds on course both days for the 99th Marlborough Racing Club meeting and some quality racing on show the future looks bright for the club’s centennial meeting in 2020.

Throwing some more light onto the College Park turf is top of Hockey Marlborough’s wish list as the new season gets underway. The official season launch is planned for Sunday, May 5, with several games being played at hockey HQ. This will be followed by a fundraising meal, labelled “Supper with Black Sticks Greats”, at the Rangitane Culture Centre, proceeds going towards replacing the current lights at College Park with more modern, eco-friendly versions. The eight light towers at the park have been in place for

20 years, meaning temporary repair work has become costly. New lights will provide a safer playing environment and will be more specific to the playing surface, reducing spill into neighbouring properties. They will also offer the opportunity for the local association to host international fixtures at night. With a cost of over $100,000 predicted for the upgrade, a determined fundraising effort is underway, highlighted by the evening at the Rangitane Centre. Some of the best Black Sticks men’s and women’s players in recent years will be in attendance, including Darren Smith, Beth Smith, Blair Hopping, Dave Kosoof and George Muir. There will be an

Rangers go clear at top of league Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Rangers AFC underlined their Marlborough division one football championship potential with an 11-0 drubbing of Central Wolves at A and P Park on Saturday. In their defense, Wolves were missing a host of players, but Rangers were clinical after taking some time to assert their supremacy. Three first half goals to the prolific Adam Rose, one from the penalty spot, saw Rangers lead 3-0 at the halfway mark. Again, Wolves came out and defended well for 15 minutes but after that the floodgates opened, especially when Wolves were reduced to 10 men after Harrison Boyce was sent after collecting two yellow cards. Rose notched his fourth, Julian Delgado scored a hat-trick, Sam Patterson struck twice, Connor Endersby and Oliver Saunders adding the others as Wolves were repeatedly exposed at the back. Defender Liam Sluiter was in outstanding form for Rangers, along with Saunders, Endersby, Harry Morel and Patterson.

Ben Blackman, Scott Wilkinson, Nick Allen and stand-in keeper Terry Sloan worked hard for Wolves to try and keep the score down. Meanwhile, the unbeaten run of the Blenheim Valley Marlborough Boys’ College team was ended emphatically at Athletic Park by a dominant Central Pirates combination. Pirates came away with a 7-2 victory, after leading 4-1 at the break.

A hat-trick to Andrew McCaa, a brace to Chris Turkington plus goals to Shane Evans and Dave Turner did the business for Pirates who utilized an aggressive formation, using two tall attackers to dominate in the air. MBC battled all the way although coach Gareth Pugh suggested they were off the pace and beaten in every facet of the game. Down 2-0 they managed to pull one back through Shinji

Mikame, who linked well with Phurim Paensuwan. Mikame added a second goal in the final 45, dribbling from half way beating two players and finishing precisely in the bottom corner. Ben Ivory-McCullum and Jacob Babb had stoic performances. The day’s third match, at A and P Park, saw BV Masters pip BV Cobras 1-0. Division one standings: Rangers AFC 12, BV MBC 9, BV Masters

Bullets on target Blenheim Valley Bullets won their first match in the Nelson women’s first division competition on Saturday, beating Nelson Suburbs 1-0 at A and P Park. The BV Bullets came out firing for their second game of the season, against a well-drilled Nelson Suburbs team. Both keepers had plenty of work to do in a fast-paced, even encounter, decided by a second half goal to Lucy Martin. The work rate from both teams was impressive, with Jannika Roubos a particular stand-out as Bullets peppered the Suburbs goal, sustaining pressure until the final whistle.

Waitohi, East Coast continue to show the way Peter Jones Reporter

peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz

Waitohi and East Coast continue to punch above their weight in the E’stel Tasman Trophy rugby competition, defying the preseason odds to be the best-placed of the Marlborough teams. On Saturday, the Tohis and Coasters scored away wins to keep them well in contention for semifinal places. With all five matches being played in Nelson the pressure was on the visiting teams to lift their game and buck the trend of Nelsonbased dominance, but just two of the Marlborough sides were able to do so. Waitohi scored a comprehensive 28-7 win over Nelson at Neale Park while East Coast eased past Stoke 20-17 at Greenmeadows, picking up the prized John Goodman Challenge Trophy in the process. Their efforts have propelled them into third and fourth places respectively on the standings, a fair distance behind unbeaten front-runners Waimea Old Boys and Marist, but right in the mix for play-off positions with four weeks before semifinal time. Before the season kicked off in mid-March that situation seemed highly improbable for a Waitohi side content at that stage to scratch a premier side together, admitted player/coach Jimmy Giles. “The first goal, seven weeks ago was just to get a competitive team on the field. “We haven’t got a big squad, only about 19 players. We aren’t doing anything flash, just trying to nail the basics and turning up for each other. “To be sitting third after seven rounds is unreal … more than I would have wanted.”

Waitohi had a rampaging first half performance to thank for their victory, the Picton side leading 21-0 after 40 minutes, albeit with a stiff breeze at their backs. Although Nelson came back at them they were able to restrict them to a single second half try, while picking up their fourth touchdown to secure a valuable bonus point. “We lost the toss or we would probably have played into [the wind],” said Giles. “We just played in the right areas, they made mistakes and we took most of our opportunities. “We knew we had to grind out the second half into the wind but we played the conditions better. The forward pack just ground it out and did a really good job. Noone shirked their duty.” Flankers Rocky Leofo and Taine Cragg-Love, plus frontrowers Taimi Fangatua and Manu Mataele toiled hard up front while fullback Tuli Paea continued his exceptional form and first five Corey Bovey again directed traffic inteligently. The match at Greenmeadows was close throughout, Coast leading just 5-3 at the break before but the visitors pushed ahead 17-5. However, this season East Coast have shown that they have the mental strength to win the close ones and they soon levelled the scores with tries to lock Jordan Judge and winger Sione Veau. With 10 minutes to go the reliable Myles Hamilton landed a penalty to give them the go-ahead points and the resilience that has marked their three home wins this season allowed them to hold on for their first away victory. Head coach Sam Lunn said his team’s performance, “wasn’t great, but we got it done”, on a wet track. He praised the work of locks Jordan Judge and Stu Campbell,

In other matches, a muchimproved Moutere went down 64-33 to the high-flying Waimea Old Boys combination at Jubilee Park while Central lost to Marist 45-23 at Tahunanui and Renwick bowed to Wanderers 34-21 at Brightwater.

MBC win well Meanwhile, the NZ King Salmon Marlborough Boys’ College First XV warmed up for their opening game in the University of Canterbury championship next weekend by taking care of Wellington College in a preseason match at the MBC front field today. The Falcons prevailed 43-17 over a potentially-dangerous capital side, scoring seven tries while

conceding just three. MBC led 19-10 at halftime after scoring in the first few minutes, then repelling a strong comeback from the Wellington College side who scored twice to lead 10-5 midway through the first spell. Two tries to hard-running hooker Te Ariki Peipi before the break put the home side in front, then they dominated the majority of the second spell, mixing clever attack with resolute defence, while bustling the visitors into error. Midfielder Tristan Tayor was a standout for the home side, along with loosehead prop Monu Moli, lightweight flanker William MacKenzie and first five Keelan Murrell. The Falcons’ first game in the UC championship takes place on May 4 in Ashburton against Mid Canterbury Combined. Their first home game is the following week, against St Andrew’s College.

With little weight of expectation on their backs the Coasters were competitive and looked forward to upping the ante in 2017. However events of November 14, 2016, conspired against them. The massive earthquake which caused such upheaval on the east coast cut the link between the two clubs, necessitating a rethink. With typical country resolve they decided to continue with the premier side, knowing full well that it would be comprised almost entirely of players from the northern club. Kaikoura opted to play in the more accessible North

Canterbury competition. The Coasters regrouped in 2017 and were again highlycompetitive, making their home ground at Seddon Domain, or Car Horn Valley as it is sometimes known, a tough place for any visiting outfit. In 2018 they forced their way into the Marlborough sub-union semifinals, losing narrowly to Renwick and made sure the Nelson sides that headed east were made to work for every point during the Tasman Trophy competition. This year there is a familiar look to the Coasters, especially up front.

Veterans Seymour Lambert and Stu Campbell will again be at the heart of a pack that was rarely bested last season. Jack Roberton, Sam Houston and Jake Collins will form the basis of a hard-working loose forward unit for coach Sam Lunn, while hooker Billy Collins is an asset in both the tight and loose. Centre Naoki Morita is a Japanese player who is expected to add flair out wide, especially alongside the talented Ben Filipo. Halfback Nemia Ranuku is a former Fijian international with both experience and guile. Travel has been, and still

is, a major issue for the club’s membership with some players facing a three-hour round trip to attend training and games, underlining their commitment. This season the Awatere club will field a division two team, a women’s team, and junior sides in under-13, then all grades from under-10 to under-6. The Seddon-based club, founded in 1906, played at premier level from 2004-2014. Previously they had dropped to senior reserve grade for the 1999 and 2000 seasons, returned to premier ranks in 2001-2002 then fell back to the lower echelon in 2003. At the height of their powers, in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, the Tussocks won three premier titles, fielding premier, senior A, under-19 and five junior teams. Kaikoura also previously played

at the top level, taking out the Marlborough premier title in 1985. They have been in and out of the top ranks since, withdrawing in 2009 and 2011 after beginning both seasons in the premier grade. The club’s main sponsors are Burkhart Fisheries, Matariki Hereford Stud and Taimate Angus. East Coast squad 2019: Brogan Matthews, Billy Collins, Seymour Lambert, Jordan Judge, Stu Campbell, Jake Collins, Sam Houston, Jack Roberton, Michael Ryan, Shohei Nonaka, Myles Hamilton, Paddy Smith-Kerr, Ben Filipo, Naoki Morita, Ethan Bayly, Sione Vea, Sam Westenra, Arapeta Tawa, Steve Crudis, Tiko Ono Levu, Davy Falcon Jones, Jack Reader, Wilson Meadowcroft.

Falcons set to fly into 2019 Peter Jones Reporter

There is a buzz of excitement surrounding the 2019 Marlborough Boys’ College First XV as they head into a new season. A carefully-planned and fullon pre-season preparation, which included a gruelling “Longest Day” physical and mental challenge, has given the 25-strong squad a kick start into their University of Canterbury championship campaign. Head coach Matt MacDougall, who will take the reins this year after long-term mentor Gray Cornelius was recruited to the Tasman Mako coaching staff, says, “there is a good balance of experience returning [18 players] with some really exciting young players coming in for their first season”. There is certainly plenty of power in the front row with 2018 Junior Knights prop Monu Moli teaming up with Tino Vakaloa, Te Ariki Peipi and Max Morris. The imposing Olly Lawson will

captain the side from No 8, with his vice-captain being goal kicker Keelan Murrell, who will wear either the 10 or 15 jerseys. Brad Thomas makes his debut at Year 13 and, in the opening pre-season game against St Pats from Wellington, proved he is pushing for a starting spot at lock, with his high work rate around the field. There is plenty of experience in the backs with the likes of hard-running midfield utility Tristan Taylor, who will pair up with Clyde Paewai and Ethan Kahui. Liam Duncan will cover both fullback and midfield positions. Another new player to keep an eye on is open side flanker William MacKenzie, who plays well outside his weight bracket but pound-for-pound would be one of the strongest in the side and is extremely quick over the ball and around the field. Although only a year 11 pupil he will push the more experienced Sky BoskettBarnes and Edan Fitzpatrick hard for a starting spot. Ryan McLeod is also in his debut season and will run out at halfback. He was selected on the

back of a strong Marlborough under-16 campaign and is a crisp clearer of the ball plus a very handy goal kicker to back up Murrell. Skipper Lawson is excited by the team’s potential and said there was already a strong culture within the group. “We are pretty positive this year, we have a good team culture going on which started from the Longest Day … being together with no phones, no outside communication, just us bonding. “We want to be quite confident … all the boys are exciting to get into it. We have a strong base of returning players, plus all the new boys are fitting in well … just doing their jobs.” Lawson said the team was wellbalanced, with strength among both the back and forward divisions, and were firmly focussed on reaching the UC Championship top four this season. The championship kicks off on May 4 with a long away trip to Ashburton to tackle Mid Canterbury. MBC’s first home game is against St Andrews College on May 11.

MBC First XV 2019. Forwards: Monu Moli, Tino Vakaloa, Max Morris, Te Ariki Peipi, Bayley O’Hagan, Brad Thomas, Viliami Napa’a, Nase Taufa, Andre Hebberd, Sky Boskett-Barnes, William MacKenzie, Edan Fitzpatrick, Olly Lawson, Jaden Eathorne, Ben Dalton (Wider Training Group), Leon Vantuel. Backs: Ryan McLeod, Keelan Murrell, Dylan McManaway, Tristan Taylor, Liam Duncan, Clyde Paewai, Ethan Kahui, David Asiata, Ben O’Sullivan, Dartell Rarere, Lotu Solomona, Joel Lavender (WTG). Coaching staff: Matt MacDougall (Head Coach), Vernon Fredericks (Assistant), Todd Nicholas (Assistant), Paul Beckett (Strength and conditioning), Ma’ara Ave (Manager).
