A world-class remote-control racing club with some of New Zealand’s top talent is on the hunt for a new patch of dirt. The Blenheim Remote Controlled Car Club has enjoyed nine years and six track layouts at the volunteerbuilt course behind Riverlands Roadhouse Truck Stop. But imminent development at the site has seen the club evicted, triggering a desperate last-minute search for a new
home for the popular group. Blenheim Remote Controlled Car Club president Bevan Burney says the ideal plot of land would be about 7000 square metres, with water and electricity. “Best case scenario – handy power and water, but it’s not necessary,” he says. “We ran on solar and a generator for years; we’re totally self-sufficient.” He says the club lucked out with the generosity of the Riverlands Roadhouse. The club has been accommodated behind the
LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED
truck stop, on State Highway 1, for nearly a decade at no cost. Former club president Phil Balcombe says their current site has been ideal. “We’ve been lucky with the truck stop,” says Phil. “We filled the accommodation during Nationals, in March. We used the café a lot and drank a fair few beers. “It’s been ideal.” Club members are circumspect about their next move, thankful for what they were given, but worried about the future. “We had a heads up [about
the development], but we thought it was years down the track – it ended up being a month,” Bevan says. “We’re a non-profit club, so we’re very limited in funds. “We need to find a place by the end of September to move this all to. “If we can’t get it straight away, there’s just nothing after that.” And the club aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Bevan says when they were first given their current site, it was just a swampy hole.

A bid to help save some native species from extinction will see a huge 1080 drop over nine thousand hectares of land in the Pelorus Sound. Giant land snails, forest birds and Red mistletoe are facing local extinction in Tennyson Inlet as predators slash numbers. The move will see the public temporarily banned from several public facilities for the poison drop as a precaution. Department of Conservation bosses say rats, stoats and possums have also been decimating native numbers of rifleman and bush robins. “It [the 1080 drop] give these and other species a better chance to breed and for the offspring a better chance to survive to adulthood. “If unchecked this predation of our most vulnerable remaining taonga could lead to local extinction.” The area is the largest intact and original forested landscapes remaining in the Marlborough Sounds. Affected tracks will be closed to the public prior to the 1080 aerial drop until staff have inspected tracks and removed as many toxic baits as as possible. The 9573-hectare project area takes in public facilities including part of the Nydia Track between Duncan and Nydia bays (to the Nydia Bay campsite), the Opouri Bridle Track and Archers Track between Penzance and Elaine Bays. The Tennyson Inlet operation is planned from 19 July and is weather dependent. Contractor Vector Free Marlborough Ltd (VFML) have been engaged to handle the drop which will begin with aerial application of nontoxic cereal pre-feed pellets. The aerial drop will happen at least five days later. People intending to visit the affected area before 1 December 2021 are advised to check the VFML and DOC websites for the status of the operation.

Club members rolled up their sleeves and got to work. “1600 cube of clay and dirt were trucked in,” says Bevan. “It cost a shoulder and a back; but half the fun is getting out and doing the work.” Phil says it’s not about the monetary cost of setting up the track, but the blood, sweat and tears the members put in. “The coolest thing is watching the young guys,” Phil says. “We’ve had quite a few young fellas come through; nine years of nurturing talent.” Club member Jaden Jameson, from Picton, is a perfect example. A top 70 driver in the world, at the last national competition (which was at the Marlborough course), Jaden won top titles in every class.
“When we opened the track, we had Terry Sloan come out. He was blown away with what we had accomplished,” says Phil. But since then, Marlborough’s council has been unresponsive to the club’s pleas for help. “Every other track in the country is on council land,” Bevan says. “Seven phone calls, emails, a letter drop and walking in, in person – but we haven’t heard boo from there [council]. “They stop you until you give up.” Bevan says he fears if they don’t find a site by the time they have to move their gear – motivation for the project will wane. “We would have to go to Nelson or Christchurch,” he says. “We’ll forever look, but the motivation drops off.” The irony is, he says, that the Blenheim club performs better than Nelson, and at the moment,

Christchurch. In the meantime, the club are planning one last hurrah, a final race day this weekend with supporters from Nelson, Wellington and Christchurch. The public is welcome to attend, before deconstruction begins the
following weekend. A council spokesman says they have been in contact with the club, and want to help but Bevan says they are yet to hear from them. “Even if it’s a no, I’d love to hear something.”

Half-billion-dollar ferry fleet contract signed in landmark deal Matt Brown Reporter
matt@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
A half-billion-dollar contract for two new Interislander ferries has been officially signed, signalling the start of a new era for the aging fleet. KiwiRail formally signed a contract with Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard on Thursday to build two new Interislander by 2026. The move will see two bigger, more efficient ships plying the strait in five years. Forming part of the $1.45 billion ferry upgrade project, the terminal infrastructure at Wellington and Picton will be improved to meet modern standards and to accommodate the new ferries when they arrive. KiwiRail Group chief executive Greg Miller says the two new ferries will be a gamechanger for New Zealand. “KiwiRail has been working on the ferry upgrade project for years and signing this contract with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard is a momentous day for us at KiwiRail and our shipping operation, the Interislander,” Greg says.
The contract price for the two ferries is USD$369 million (NZ$551m) with government pledging $400 million to the ferry replacement project in budget 2020, and $35 million in 2019’s budget. Interislander operates about 3800 ferry services a year, transporting 850,000 passengers, 250,000 cars and billions of dollars’ worth of freight, with significant growth predicted. “The new ferries will ensure a safe and resilient rail and passenger service between the North and South Islands, which is a vital part of the economy and a key part of New Zealand’s supply chain, transport and tourism infrastructure,” Greg says. “With an ageing fleet of ships coming to the end of their working lives, this replacement programme had become time critical, so it’s great news that we are now able to move ahead with the next stage of design and the build of the two new ferries and required port infrastructure.” Transport Minister Michael Wood says investing in two new, rail-enabled
These new ferries will reduce carbon emissions by 40% with initiatives like using battery power for manoeuvring. ” — Michael Wood, Transport Minister Interislander ferries will help reduce transport emissions and support more goods and people crossing the Cook Strait. “Our transport emissions are the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand, so we need to start taking action now if we are going to meet our 2050 targets,” he says. “These new ferries will reduce carbon emissions by 40 per cent with initiatives like using battery power for manoeuvring. “They are also future-proofed so that more batteries can be added over time and can be modified to run on other lowcarbon fuels like hydrogen as they become available in the future.” The two, rail-enabled
ferries, when running at full operating capacity, will be able to carry nearly double the number of passengers, and commercial and passenger vehicles when compared with the current fleet. The rail freight capacity will triple. The only currently railenabled ferry Aratere can carry a maximum of 27, sixty-foot equivalent wagons per sailing. The two new rail-enabled ships will be able to carry 40, sixtyfoot equivalent wagons per vessel on up to three return sailings each per day. “We are progressing well with the designs for the terminal redevelopments in both Waitohi Picton and at Kaiwharawhara in Wellington,” Greg says. “This is a nationally important project which will require the ongoing support and partnership between central and local Government, KiwiRail and port operators Port Marlborough and CentrePort for its successful delivery.” The new ferries are expected to arrive in New Zealand in 2025 and 2026.

An expanding, energy-packed primary school programme has some new wheels, featuring the faces of their smiling students. Graeme Dingle Foundation’s popular Kiwi Can programme now deliver their life skills and confidence project to almost 60 per cent of Marlborough primary schools. And the vast distances they cover brought long-time sponsor, Toyota, to the party – donating a brand new 2021 Rav4 hybrid to ensure Kiwi Can educators can deliver their aspirational initiative in comfort and safety. Graeme Dingle Foundation regional manager Kelvin Watt says the new vehicle is a step up and makes a big difference to his team. “We have three or four teams out each day – we’re chalking up a lot of k’s,” Kelvin says. “This year we agreed to take on another three Kiwi Can schools in Marlborough; Rai Valley, Canvastown and Wairau Valley. “We now have 17 Kiwi Can schools
across the region and our total travel distance has increased to approximately 2,500 km per month.” Kelvin says Toyota’s aspirational brand, ‘I believe’, goes well with the goals of Kiwi Can – and the vehicles fresh livery highlights the community’s support of the programme. Redwoodtown School students’ smiling faces adorn the sides of the new car, the photograph generously donated by Richard Briggs Photography and applied, for free, by BB Signs. “It is super amazing that local people and businesses have come together to help support our team in traveling the length and breadth of Marlborough every week,” Kelvin says. Blenheim Toyota chief executive Scott McDermid says he’s proud be a supporter of Kiwi Can for five years and three cars. “It’s a really cool thing to be a part of,” Scott says. “The values they teach young people really resonate. “Things like resiliency, they’re building blocks for the future.”
NMIT meets regional demand in horticulture As employment shortages in the horticulture industry look to sky rocket over the next year due to the ongoing fallout from COVID-19, there’s never been a better time to consider a career change to horticulture. Brendan Varney has done just that. After losing his job in the travel industry, Brendan made the decision to retrain and enrolled in NMIT’s New Zealand Certificate in Horticulture, Level 3 programme. Working closely with local industry, NMIT has recently redeveloped the Level 3 programme to reflect the changing needs of the rapidly evolving horticulture sector by giving it a more practical project-based learning approach. With less focus on written assessments, students are encouraged to learn by doing. Brendan was able to make the most of the flexible learning options including the online study option but says the on-campus classes were an invaluable part of his learning. “I’m pleased I did the classroom side of things. The interaction and feedback from everyone is important because you can ask questions there and then,” says Brendan. The New Zealand Certificate in Horticulture, Level 3, is a comprehensive course covering
topics such as soil management, propagation, composting, pruning, growing plants from seeds and cuttings and how to manage irrigation in addition to a number of other related topics. This free programme can be completed in one semester and includes both classroom time (Tuesday and Wednesdays 9–3pm) and self-directed learning at home using the very informative online class room, Moodle. Students also spend a day a week working on the Marlborough Campus or at horticultural industry workplaces to broaden their skillbased knowledge and hone their practical skills. Study options are available for full-time over six months or part-time over a year and prepare graduates for work in the horticulture industry, growing on their own land, or advancement into further study. In addition to the standard February and July intakes, NMIT Marlborough have multiple part-time study options available starting in March, May, August and October.

Girls ruled Marlborough’s world of viticulture in a history-making competition first on Thursday. The first woman to ever claim the title in the region, Whitehaven’s Jessica Wilson, took the top spot at the 16th Corteva Marlborough Young Viticulturist of the Year Competition. Jessica Marston from Villa Maria came runner up and Tahryn Mason, also from Villa Maria, came third at the
gruelling test. Young Vit competition national co-ordinator Nicky Grandorge says this is the first time in the sixteen years of the Marlborough Young Vit Competition that a woman has taken out the title. “It’s wonderful to see young women thrive in viticulture,” she says. “It really highlights what a great career option it is for both men and women.” Throughout the day, they were tested on many aspects of vineyard management as well as competing in the popular Biostart
Hortisports race. The competition includes a mix of practical and theoretical questions on pruning, netting, machinery, pests and diseases, budgeting, nutrition, wine knowledge, trellising and an interview. Nicky says the judges were impressed with the competitors knowledge, passion and drive. The other contestants were Daniel Clearwater and Cara Hayes from Constellation Brands, Zac Howell from Rothay Vineyards, Sam Hayman from Giesen and Finn Horsfield from Marisco.
Jess will go on to represent Marlborough at the National Final in August, to be held at Indevin’s Bankhouse in Marlborough on Wednesday 25th August.

Book festival tackles the down side of social media The powers of social media and the dangers it can bring will be up for discussion at the Marlborough Book Festival. Author Brannavan Gnanalingam is one of 13 guests speakers appearing at this year’s festival where he will be talking about his latest emotive work, Sprigs. The book, shortlisted for a top national fiction prize, tackles the emotive subject of sex and peer pressure among teenagers. A practising lawyer, dad and author of six novels will speak to Marlborough journalist Tessa Nicholson about the book. The story is set in contemporary Wellington and starts with two fictional boys’ schools playing a rugby final. Priya – a fifteen year old girl
who barely belongs – watches from the sidelines with other girls and goes with them to a party that night. As the publisher’s own summary states so succinctly, “In the weeks after ‘the incident’ life seems to go on. But whispers turn to confrontation, and the institutions of vwealth and privilege circle the wagons”. Sprigs is a story that in the author’s own words “decries a certain kind of masculinity”. Tessa says the book is sensitively written and, surprisingly, uses humour at times to tackle a difficult topic. “I couldn’t put it down, at the end of it I was ringing friends saying if there is one book you buy this year make it Sprigs. “Yes, the premise of the book is horrendous, but Brannavan’s writing, sensitivity and

A tribute to one of Marlborough’s best sporting talents has been officially opened in his memory by another great sport hero. Gifted athlete James d’Auvergne was tragically killed in 2005 at just 24 years old. On Friday, a newly upgraded club house, the JD Sprigs Bar at Marlborough Golf Club was officially opened in his honour. Sporting legend and 1974 Commonwealth Games 10,000 metre Gold medalist Dick Tayler joined guests at the Fairhall club to mark the special moment. James was a member of the Marlborough Golf Club and was also a talented tennis, cricket and basketball player. The new $150,000 club is testament to hours of fund raising and preparation which has gone into its creation. Organiser and a close friend of James, Geoff Barnett, says the idea behind the club was for it to be a family-friendly asset for the whole community. “We would like local residents and their guests, especially to feel welcome to use the facility at any time in the future,” he says.

Council promise ‘fair and reasonable’ rents Chloe Ranford Local Democracy Reporter Marlborough District Council has promised pensioners living in its senior houses that this year’s rent rise will not take them “within a bull’s roar” of the average rent in Blenheim. But seniors won’t know what their new rent bill will be until a letter arrives in the post, possibly next month, because the council will land on a final figure behind closed doors. Seven tenants, representing most of the council’s senior housing complexes, attended their first housing for seniors subcommittee meeting on Thursday to hear about their rents. The tenants were asked to leave when it came time for councillors to discuss their rent, which was not open to the public, but not without the council first reading them the latest rent data and promising their rent would be well below that. Figures put to the housing for seniors subcommittee last week showed the rent of an average one-bedroom flat in Blenheim

Five Marlborough pensioners attended their first housing for seniors subcommittee on Thursday hoping to find out where the council sat on rent rises this year. Photo: Chloe Ranford/LDR. was $280 a week, down $20 a week from March. Rent for two-bedroom flats jumped $5 a week, to $385. The council has a self-imposed rule that the rent it charges for senior housing has to be within 80 per cent of the average rental price in Blenheim. Pensioners in council flats in Blenheim are paying $174 a week for a onebedroom unit or $226 a week for a two-bed. Council property and community facilities manager Jamie Lyall says the Tasman District Council charge its
tenants between $200 and $212 a week for a one-bedroom unit. Its neighbour, the Nelson City Council, sold its senior housing supply to Kāinga Ora last year. The units can now be designated to anyone on Nelson’s social housing register. Subcommittee chairwoman Cynthia Brooks told pensioners that setting rents was “complicated”, with “so many variables”. “We are always mindful of you, our tenants. Always. That’s what we’re here for, to look after you the best that we can.”

These new plantings were done alongside a re-posting program using ECO TRELLIS® to better support and manage the original 25 year old vines.
> New Zealand Certificate in Primary Industry Skills - Viticulture, Level 2 Kick-start your career by learning a range of work-ready skills.
We find that with our two metre row spacing for the vines, that the narrow profile the ECO TRELLIS® system offers hugely benefits machine operations in the vineyard. It also sets us in good stead for further mechanisation in the future. Mark Naismith VINEYARD MANAGER Akarua, Central Otago

MBC beaten; Marist take Tasman Trophy Peter Jones Reporter
peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
The Marlborough Boys’ College First XV were unable to withstand a strong second half effort from St Andrew’s College at Lansdowne Park on Saturday. The local side went down 26-17 to the southerners, after the teams were locked together 12-12 soon at the break in the Miles Toyota championship match. MBC made all the early running, strong carries from No 8 Penisimani Fihaki, midfielders Jake Pacey and Cooper Roberts, plus lock Billy Sloan helping set up a try for right winger Nikau Peipi. However, the STAC side were made of stern stuff and by halftime had gone ahead, courtesy of two relatively soft tries. The first came from a slick lineout variation, the second from a miscued MBC lineout throw five metres from their own line. Down 12-5 the home side need an urgent response and got just that, Fihaki crashing over from close range after sustained pressure. Fullback Hugh Robinson converted to level the scores. But once again STAC replied, taking full advantage as MBC kicked away too much
possession and ultimately paid the price. Two tries, both converted, gave STAC an insurmountable 26-12 advantage with the clock ticking down and, although Fihaki claimed his second try just before the final whistle, MBC were left pointless from a match they should have got something out of. The home side’s ball movement at times was slick and incisive, spreading play to both sides of the field and creating holes in STAC’s defence. Halfback Jimmy Morris cleared the ball well, while loosies Josh Hammond and outstanding leader William MacKenzie were strong over the ball and ever-present in support. St Andrew’s were well served by powerful loosies Will Stodart and Torian Barnes, plus first five Jack Harding and elusive fullback Isaiah ArmstrongRavula, their side’s ability to take full advantage of field position and weight of possession telling in the final wash-up. Scores.

Goals aplenty as Knockout Cup begins Peter Jones Reporter
peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
The focus was firmly on Knockout Cup matches at Marlborough football headquarters on Saturday. Four first round matches were played, with the favoured teams moving through to the second round, which will be played next week. It was relatively plain sailing for Call Care Hotspurs who accounted for Central Privateers 4-1. First half goals from Aaron Henderson and Connor Baker saw Hotspurs take a 2-0 lead into the break and, although Privateers pulled it back to 2-1 midway through the second spell, goals to Dillan Huxtable and Troy Wilson later in the match got the job done. The closest match of the day was between division two side Call Care Spartans and first division opponents BV Masters, won 4-3 by Masters. For parts of this match a major upset was on the cards. Blenheim Valley scored in the first few minutes, but Spartans fought back to gain parity in midfield. Steve McGinnity’s first goal, after a Masters’ defensive blunder, saw them draw level, then go ahead late in the first half, McGinnity bagging his second after a free kick was deflected into his path. In the second half, a Spartans’ own goal and a penalty saw

Masters reclaim the lead, before Spartans again equalised, Ben Cameron scoring to make it 3-3. The match’s decisive strike came late in proceedings, Masters slotting the winner the from outside the box to take the honours and avoid extra time. Defending champs Central
Wolves got their 2021 campaign off to a solid start, shading Rangers Clubs of Marlborough 5-1. The fourth match was claimed by Call Care Trojans, who were defaulted to by Rangers Masters. Next week Wolves meet Rangers Development, Masters take on
Picton, Trojans play Central Buccaneers and Hotspurs tackle Redwood. Rangers AFC win Meanwhile, Rangers AFC maintained their place at the top of the Nelson division one standings with a 4-0 win over Golden Bay Mountain Goats in
Richmond on Saturday. On an uneven pitch Rangers dominated but had only a Bjorn Waechter goal to show for their efforts at half time. With Golden Bay becoming more and more physical in the tackle it took time for Rangers to add to their total. The arrival of striker Adam Rose brought a change of fortune. The lanky striker won a penalty that skipper Tore Waechter converted, then scored the third with a clinical finish. A late goal to Jono Masters completed the scoring. Best on show for Rangers were Bjorn Waechter, Harrison Pine, Ryan Palmer, Kane Elvy and stand-in keeper Morgan Brewer. Rangers hold a tenuous threepoint lead at the top of the standings, FC Nelson and Richmond, who both won on Saturday, hot on their heels. Women’s side BV Bullets, who travelled to Saxton Field with the bare 11 players, went down 6-1. The first half ended 0-0, a fair indication of the even nature of the contest, but BV’s lack of fresh legs in the second spell told on the scoreboard. Four goals in the first part of the second spell set the home side on their way, before Lauren Sloan pulled one back for the visitors. Two late goals inflated the scoreline, but took nothing away from the hard work the understaffed Bullets had put in. Left back Maddy Rowe was BV’s player of the day.

College netballers eye green pastures Peter Jones Reporter
peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
From bibs and skirts to boots and shorts – three Marlborough Girls’ College netballers will take crosscode sport to a new level over the next few months. Eleri James-Sitters, 17, Lesieli Taufa, 16, and 17-yearold Fiaalii Solomona – key members of the MGC senior A netball team which contests the Marlborough premier competition – were last week selected in the Tasman Mako women’s side to contest the Farah Palmer Cup. The trio’s call-up to national provincial level came a day after they were part of the Moutere women’s team which took out the Tasman Trophy final, beating Waimea Old Boys 10-6 at Nelson’s Trafalgar Park. They will have plenty of company in the 35-strong Mako squad, six of their Magpies’ team mates also making the cut, namely Pippa Andrews, Raumati Rogers,

Eleri, who plays wing and fullback, midfielder Lesieli and wing/midfielder Fiaalii are also representative netballers who, over the past few years, have tried their hands at rugby and liked what the game offered. Asked which sport she preferred, Fiaalii, who first picked up a rugby ball in the Islands at age six, was diplomatic. “A bit of both, I guess,” she replied. “It’s about 50/50 but I do enjoy the physical side of
rugby, the fact I get to tackle people.” Lesieli, who has a strong family background in the sport and has been playing for three-and-a-half years, said she was not concerned about making the step up to national provincial level. “Not really. Me and Eleri did Tasman under-18s so we have trained with some of the Mako squad. It is a higher level, but I am looking forward to it.” With so many opportunities opening up for female rugby players in recent years, Eleri felt there was now a defined
pathway to higher honours in the code. “Making the [Mako] squad at such a young age is quite promising for us. “I really enjoy rugby because of the pathways that are coming through – in netball getting to the top is very competitive with more people playing the game. So, there is probably a bigger chance of getting to the top in rugby but there is still the same amount of hard work required to get there.” Eleri began playing in 2019, having 2020 off due to injury. She said that although the MGC girls were new to the squad there was no reason why they couldn’t get some lengthy game time. She said, “It all depends how it goes in our pre-season games but, if we put in the mahi …” “… we will get the treats,” added Fiaalii, provoking a round of laughter from the talented trio who now face a daunting balancing act of rugby and netball training, games and tournaments plus college commitments.
Prestigious squash trophy stays put Peter Jones Reporter
peter@marlboroughmedia.co.nz
Marlborough’s squash team retained the Heaphy Shield in convincing form over the weekend, winning with a record 29 matches to Nelson’s 17 and West Coast’s 2. The home side’s dominance was reflected by the fact they only dropped three men’s matches all weekend. Marlborough set the tone from the outset, racking up eight wins on Friday evening, then 14 on Saturday and seven on Sunday. There were some notable milestones. Clark Ellery of the West Coast played in his 41st consecutive Heaphy Shield competition, having debuted as a 16-year-old. Marlborough captain Grant Craig has played in 28 shield challenges.

The competition concluded on Sunday with a superb match between Henry Aitken from Nelson and Marlborough’s Tom Marshall, with Henry prevailing narrowly in the fifth set. David Winstanley, who along
with Nelson’s Neil Senior set the competition up in 1976, was on hand to present the trophy to the winning combination. The Marlborough men’s team comprised, in playing order, Thomas Jordaan, Tom
Marshall, Hannes Schoeman and Henry Moran. The local women’s team welcomed back former international Megan Craig at number one, with Mickayla Kerr at two, Leonie Marshall at three and Julie Brown at four.
