Gallipoli awe Marlborough Girl Stephanie Simpson at Anzac Cove
By Cathie Bell Going to the Anzac Day commemoration at Gallipoli in Turkey has given Marlborough Girls’ College student Stephanie Simpson a better understanding of the Anzacs, what they faced and the environment they found themselves in, she says. Stephanie won this year’s Cyril Bassett VC speech competition and got to deliver her speech to the crowds at Anzac Cove in Gallipoli before the dawn service on April 25 as part of her prize.

Dawn service a once in a lifetime experience Continued from page 1 The 18-year-old impressed the judges of the national finals of the Cyril Bassett VC speech competition last month, with what they described as a passionate speech about the experiences of nurses on hospital ships, mere kilometres from the frontlines at Gallipoli during the First World War. Winning the national competition meant Stephanie and her mother Helen joined the New Zealand contingent to

Anzac Cove at Gallipoli for the commemoration service. Her speech was part of the Reflective Programme, which runs from 8pm on April 24 through to 5am on April 25. A varied Reflective Programme, it centres on explaining various aspects of the Gallipoli campaign, with a number of musical contributions from a combined New Zealand Defence Force/ Australian Defence Force band, keeping the waiting crowd engaged, although most
managed to get some sleep at some point during the night. After giving her speech, Stephanie says that coming to Gallipoli itself has ‘given me a better understanding of the Anzacs; what they faced and the environment they found themselves in’. “We are privileged to have the lifestyle we do because of the sacrifices they made.” Helen says the trip has been ‘a once in a lifetime experience’. “It is an emotional journey
for all involved.” The speech competition is in honour of Cyril Bassett VC (1892-1983), the only New Zealander to receive the supreme gallantry award, the Victoria Cross, during the Gallipoli campaign. The competition, launched in 2010, is a partnership between the RSA and ANZ to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of the sacrifices made by those who served New Zealand in armed conflicts overseas.

Medal haul for St John cadet Story and photo by Celeste Alexander Kaleb Donald has a great excuse to be smiling this week. The 14-year-old Blenheim teenager has returned from Auckland with three medals after competing at the St John National Youth Festival at the weekend. He was the only youth from Blenheim selected to compete and was one of the 24 strong South Island squad. Kaleb’s team placed first overall in the ‘Aggregate Team First Aid Tests’ category, winning the Valiant Plaque. The team went on to be named the runner up Linen Guild Cup ‘Champion Team’ and was part of the South Island ‘Champion Region’ win. Asked how he was feeling after his weekend, Kaleb answers; “Honestly.... amazing!” “It was really cool, I enjoyed every minute and I have made friends for a lifetime.
“If I get the chance to go back again next year, I definitely will,” he says. With the competition behind him, Kaleb is now focusing on this weekend’s drill camp where he will be working towards his ‘Grand Prior’s Award’. The Grand Prior’s Award is gained by completing six compulsory badges, six badges of the cadet’s own choice, and 100 hours of community service. Once completed, the Grand Prior’s Award is awarded at a ceremony in the presence of the Governor General.

Former MP to run as mayor By Cathie Bell Former MP Colin King is to stand as mayor of Marlborough in the council elections in October. Colin confirmed his mayoral bid to the Blenheim Sun yesterday and says he will be running as an independent. He is the second candidate to put their name forward: first term councillor Brian Dawson has already said he will stand as mayor. Alistair Sowman has yet to decide whether to run for a fifth term. Colin says he is standing because he is concerned that Marlborough Colin King, the former MP, is to stand as Mayor of Marlborough. has stagnated. “There are not enough opportuni- and central government as they are ties or jobs for our young people, so to the local community. our children and grandchildren are “We need a mayor who is able to leaving the area to find worthwhile unite council to be ambitious for work and bring up their families in everyone living in Marlborough, other areas. and everyone who would love to I became aware recently of an live in Marlborough but cannot example of this and when looked due to the lack of well paid jobs.” further into it, discovered it wasn’t Colin says he believes the council an isolated case.” has lost track of the important is- Political campaigner Simon Lusk speaks at a seminar in Blenheim, Colin When he was an MP, he had sues facing the wider community King is in the background.

King’s views on Marlborough Marlborough is doing well • The wine industry and marine farming. • Performing arts and community services that truly place Marlborough ahead of many larger centres. • The health services in Marlborough with Wairau Hospital and Churchill Trust an example to other re-
gions with public and private complementing one another. • Good health and education services.
Marlborough needs to do better • Leverage off its natural advantages better, by working collegially with one another and not in competition to one another within the region itself.
• Develop a more congenial relationship with central government. • Develop a strong relationship with Iwi. • Begin building a better relationship with Christchurch as the gateway to the South Island – when the South China Airline first arrived in Christchurch and at a special celebration sadly the only region not
represented by their mayor was you guessed it, it was Marlborough. • Council’s over-involvement in commercial activities has made investors look elsewhere. • Marlborough needs to be a marketable destination of choice for not only tourism but also business conferences, national club/organisations events and competitions.

Moa results Moa Group narrowed its full-year loss to $2.9 million for the year to March 31, after the Blenheim-based beer company increased sale volumes and cut operating costs. Sales rose 35 percent to $8.2 million, reducing this year’s loss to $2.9 million, from a loss of about $5.6 million last year. Moa chief executive Geoff Ross says the company has grown sales, whilst improving margin and decreasing operating costs. “Much of the improvements made to operating costs only took effect in the second half of the year. So we look forward to the benefit of these for the full FY17 year,” he says. The volume of beer sold rose 43 percent to 1.7 million litres while operating costs fell 28 percent to $4.8 million, the company says.

Irish Bar to re-open with Irish owners Story and photo by Cathie Bell Picton’s Irish Bar is to reopen next week, with two of the new owners bringing Irish authenticity to the job. Garth and Colleen Willis, along with Ben and Vanessa Evans, have bought Seumus’s Irish Bar in Picton and intend to get back to basics. The pub has been closed while it’s renovated and it is planned to open Thursday next week. The couple are Irish and have lived in Picton for about eight years and are delighted to team up with locals Ben and Vanessa to own the bar. Garth says they are looking forward to ‘putting their own twist’ on the bar and will be focussing on the basics, providing a good atmosphere and warming comfort food as well as good drinks. They say Picton is a friendly town and Colleen says they have made good friends here,
with the other businesses in town being welcoming too. “Picton is the sort of town where you walk around and people smile at you”, Garth says. They knew it was going to be home when they arrived eight years ago and walked into the bar and a man from Garth’s home town Limavady was serving behind the bar. “It was meant to be,” Colleen says. “It’s got a sentimental feel for us. We want to bring that home feeling here…It will be a real traditional Irish pub.” At the time Garth and Colleen arrived in Picton, Seumus’s Irish Bar was owned by Alastair and Liz Hawthorne, and Garth was friends with their son in Ireland. He worked for the couple at the bar, before it was sold to American man Neal Summers, whose time at the bar was controversial.

MPs tour local businesses Story and photo by Cathie Bell Five MPs from the National Party’s regional development caucus committee visited Marlborough last Wednesday, learning about the region’s main industries. New Plymouth MP Jonathan Young, Invercargill MP Sarah Dowie, Christchurch-based list MP Joanne Hayes, and Wellington-based list MP Chris Bishop joined Kaikoura MP Stuart Smith to visit sawmill Timberlink, Wairau River Wines, Wither Hills winery, and green technology company Carbonscape. The MPs were impressed with what they saw, they said. Jonathan says there is ‘obviously’ a huge amount of investment in the region. “It’s great to see Marlborough doing really well.” Chris says he has just returned from three weeks in the United States, where Marlborough sauvignon blanc was often on the menu.

By Cathie Bell Marlborough’s bid to host a regional research institute for wine is one of three proposals shortlisted by the Government. Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce announced this week that the New Zealand Institute of Viticulture and Oenology proposal, led by the New Zealand Winegrowers, would go to the next round for $25 million of Government funding over three years. Regional Research Institutes are to be new research centres developed in areas outside of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch that help build research and development intensity and lift innovation in key regional industries. Twenty four proposals were received from 16 different locations, Steven says.
“There were a number of credible and exciting proposals submitted, and the three shortlisted represent those considered at this stage to have presented the best plans for delivering the strongest growth in business R&D and innovation in regional areas,“ he says. “For New Zealand to achieve its economic potential, we need all our regions to thrive.” The three shortlisted proposals are: • New Zealand Institute of Viticulture and Oenology, Marlborough, led by the New Zealand Winegrowers – research to support the growth and continuing success of the New Zealand wine industry. • Centre for Space Science Technology, Central Otago, led by Bodeker Scientific – research allowing the use of space-based measurements and unique to New Zea-
land satellite imagery to develop solutions tailored to regions and key sectors, for example, in water resource management and regional planning. • Earth+Vantage, Southland, led by Venture Southland – research using real time satellite and ground-based data to lift primary industry productivity across New Zealand, in areas such as precision farming, forestry and marine management. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment will work with the three applicants on a more detailed analysis of their proposals and determine the preferred options that deliver the greatest value from the potential institutes. Once this process is complete, Cabinet will make its final decision on which new institutes will be established.

New technology enables a ‘no dig’ approach to pipe repairs Trenchless technology is allowing Council engineers to do some major underground repairs to earthquake-damaged sewerage pipes - without digging up the roads and holding up traffic. A new sewer main is now in place the full length of Wynen Street in Blenheim’s CBD. The work has been done with little impact on the commercial properties along that street. However, there is further work coming up in this street with the shorter, shallower service pipelines to each property to be replaced using the traditional excavation methods. Where the new ‘no dig’ technology can be used, new pipelines are installed via access through existing manholes. Softened PVC (plastic) pipeline is coiled
onto a large turntable, covered and steam heated to a certain temperature then pulled through the inside of the existing worn pipe. The new pipe is then expanded in place using pressurised steam, followed by rapid cooling with cold water to harden it. Similar work has been done at Mayfield School – without disturbing the children’s play area – and another job will be underway in Auckland Street shortly. Council infrastructural projects engineer Brett Walker says this trenchless technology has been successfully used in Christchurch and in Auckland. “This particular technique is proving especially useful where pipes are buried deeper and groundwater can be a problem.
”This technology enables repairs to be completed quickly and efficiently as Council makes every effort to manage roadworks with as little disruption to the public as possible. “A lot of work is done during night time hours; the flows along the pipe network are lower at night and we try to avoid disruption to traffic unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Pipeline installation works are currently under way in other parts of town. A major stormwater project is under way in Francis Street where old, failing steel pipes are being upgraded with a much larger concrete pipe while, along Batty’s Road and Old Renwick Road, developers are installing stormwater and sewer works to service the new areas under development.
An earthquake can strike at any time Marlborough is an earthquake-prone region and everyone – businesses, families, people living alone – should be prepared to survive on their own for three days, or even longer. Don’t count on having electricity, fresh water, telephones or medical help. The Marlborough District Council is responsible for mobilising Civil Defence in such an event. Marlborough’s Emergency Management team is based at Wither Road. All the region’s essential services and civil
defence organisers work together; ready to respond to an emergency. One of the priorities is to restore essential services across Marlborough as quickly as possible after a major disaster. However, everyone should take some simple steps to be prepared to help themselves: Develop a household emergency plan and have an emergency survival kit with: • food and water for at least three days • radios, torches, batteries
• essential medicines/first aid kit • alternative cooking facility (not electricity or gas) • emergency clothing • supplies for babies • Know how to help others – be able to apply first aid and be prepared to help neighbours • Have a ‘Getaway Kit’ if you have to be evacuated. An emergency kit should include at least three litres of water per person per day for a minimum of three days.
Making it easy to get about without a car We’re making good progress toward creating a ‘Walkability Map’ for Blenheim, showing the best routes into the CBD for those on foot, in wheelchairs and on mobility scooters. Working with the Access and Mobility Forum we’re now ready to test the routes with someone who relies on a guide dog and someone with a mobility scooter rider. We’ve also come up with a list of spots where repairs or retro-fits
will be necessary before all the routes are up to the standards of the ‘Pedestrian Planning and Design Guide’ - the standard adopted by Council through its Walkability Policy. We’ll be talking to Marlborough Roads about that soon. The public can help by reporting any footpath access issues to Marlborough Roads, Ph: 03 520 8330.

Wineries and those landlords who reap Give ratepayers a fair go! Your workers (ones that arrive mostly ONLY for harvest). Take responsibility for your properties which you load up with workers who leave trash, have no respect for neighbours. Drinking on street, leaving liquor cans and bottles behind which we are left to clear up. Properties neglected, lawns unmowed, cars parked across access driveways. WI Fi is only accessible in wee small hours. You don’t put it on your own doorstep. Start investing back in to the lower income areas that you are creating. It’s not rocket science!

Not a chance Went to new theatre to see Judith Durham. Great singer, pity my wife and self both felt uncomfortable with the jammed in feeling, having been in a nasty situation in the ChCh Feb quakes. You wouldn’t have a chance in a fire either ,terrible exit layout. Been once never again. Went to the new ASB THEATRE this week . I know it’s unfinished, but what a fantastic venue. Once it’s finished it will be awesome. Congrats to all the wonderful onsite / off site people involved in bringing this to Marlborough.
Research first ASB Theatre and Arvensis 22/4/2016. It is with great interest I read the comments by this texter. This is classic where a semi educated individual makes a comment without careful consideration. Perhaps they would like to read the numerous NZ Building codes, and then understand how they apply to buildings like these. Do some research before you pollute our society with your uneducated comments.
Protect our waterways Come on council, why spray weeds in Opawa Loop when physical work will not poison life on contact and down the line, ducks etc. EXPENSE MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE?
New OSH rules mean that when told you need car work/repairs for a WOF you are not allowed in the workshop to verify! So go home, use your non OSH small wheel jack and have a look. Car makers will now be forced to provide every new car with a 3 tonne jack and stands to save home injury for easily shown fixes. Mechanic.
More money Remember when Jessica Bagge painted the line on the road to show how far the theatre would come out? But it still went ahead regardless, and now a survey because of the danger to access the Clubs of Marlborough and theatre. More expense.
Quality water To the appropriate councillors and DHB. It won’t be quality water any more will it when the toxic waste fluoride is put in it. Saving money are we? Costs more to deal with it safely than put it in town supply. The wine industry needs to watch out too. USA is rejecting their own wine if there is a wiff of fluoride in it. TPPA can easily then topple NZ industry.
No Respect Sure, we live in a Christian dominated culture, but globally we are outnumbered. Many Christians have short memories when they rail against radical Islam. Remember the crusades, and the Spanish inquisition, among other historical atrocities committed by so called Christians, it is little wonder some elements of other religions have radicalised. Throughout history more blood has been shed over religion than any other cause.

Much worse Get your head out of the clouds! Not working and being home with the kids is a luxury a lot of devoted, responsible, educated and very loving mothers unfortunately can’t afford these days.

It is so true that being a mummy to young children at least to the age of 5, and being with them is no.1 above all else for the mental development and security of the child. So undervalued. Now single mum’s are being pushed out the door even earlier, when their youngest is three, even if they also have other young kids. Already plenty of unemployed so why? When mum’s already have the most important job to do, they are not sitting doing nothing and children turn five fast enough as it is.

Got an important issue to share with Marlborough?
My child attended full time daycare whilst I worked and he also had chocolate treats. He is now a young man who shows empathy and kindness. Why?, because these are the values I have taught him are the most important. Surely having parents that are judgemental, narrow minded and opinionated can cause far more damage than chocolate and daycare. No wonder we have so much bullying in schools, maybe it comes straight from the parents.

A message from Renwick RSA Story and photo by Celeste Alexander It has been another successful Anzac Day and Poppy Day appeal in Renwick, and as the dust settles for another year those involved in the organising have a special message to share. Renwick branch of the Marlborough RSA President Anthony van de Water and vice president Les Barrow would like to publicly thank all those who supported the town’s recent Poppy Day appeal. “We are hugely grateful to everyone who made donations or purchased a red poppy from various businesses in
Renwick. What’s unique about this is that all the money collected in Renwick, stays with the Renwick branch, Anthony says. “All the money we generate goes back to our branch for the welfare of veterans. “This could be helping with the purchase of glasses, dentures or even funeral expenses, so all the money donated by local businesses and community members contribute towards this,” he says. The iconic fundraising poppies were sold at Renwick businesses, neighbouring wineries, volunteer stalls and at the Marlborough Airport, raising around $2000.
“It wouldn’t have been possible without the support we have, so thank you,” Les says. The Renwick branch would also like to invite military personnel, serving or retired, to a branch meeting on May 2 at 7pm at the Woodbourne Tavern. “Our afternoon meetings will still continue but in an effort to bolster numbers we have introduced an evening meeting. It’s an opportunity to meet, share stories and keep informed on what the branch is doing,” Anthony says. A courtesy van will be available from the Woodbourne Tavern for those needing transport at the end of the meeting.

ST REMY 1 LITRE
this week with Wally Richards
Container plants Part 1 With winter fast approaching now is an ideal time to do some container gardening for both indoors and outside. The chill and dreariness of the days ahead can be broken by planting colour (flowers) into containers which can lift the spirits on the gloomiest day. Starting with the indoors, a call down to your local garden centre will find a number of house plants to brighten up your home. There are ample cyclamen available at this time, being a winter flowering plant. The miniature types often have a lovely fragrance as well as their delightful up-standing flowers. Cyclamen prefer a cool or colder situation with as much direct sunlight as possible during winter. This makes them excellent specimens for windowsills indoors and for colour around entrance ways. Many gardeners find they have more success with these plants outside than they do indoors. The reason for this is that it is colder outside and there will be a certain amount of air movement to keep them happy even if they become too wet from rain or watering. Indoors, the temperature is greater in a heated room and if they are over-watered this can be fatal as rot forms on the leaves and flower stems. In bad cases, the bulb will also rot away. Cyclamen are not a flowering plant that you can safely place on a coffee table in the middle of the room except for short periods of time. Away from the windowsill

$ or outdoors, the leaves and flowers will start to stretch towards the distant light and the plant will become unbalanced. The stretching will weaken the plant and make it more susceptible to over watering diseases. For indoors the plants should sit on a windowsill where they will receive as much natural light as possible. Being next to the cold pane of glass, (if you do not have double glazing) will better suit its needs of both temperature and light. When you draw the curtains at night then the cyclamen should be behind the curtain where it is going to be a lot colder than in the heated room. Every few days you should rotate the pot 180 degrees so that each side of the plant receives direct light for a few days before being turned again. This will greatly help to keep the plant balanced rather than have all its foliage and flowers growing towards the window side of the container. Continued next week

KiwiBank listens to customers’ concerns By Cathie Bell A KiwiBank ATM should be in place in Picton by August, the bank says. In last Friday’s Sun, Picton resident Raelene Rainbird talked about community support for her petition to KiwiBank to upgrade its services in the town. This week, NZ Post General Manager for Retail Distribution Tracey Berry has
responded, saying the bank started looking for a new location for a KiwiBank ATM some months ago. “We hope to confirm a location soon and would like the community to know that we expect an ATM to be in place in August.” In the interim, local Kiwibank customers with a Picton address and a Free Up account can undertake cash withdrawals
free of charge at the Fresh Choice Picton branch, Tracy says, and a letter about the fee waiver went to these customers last month. As well as the over-the-counter banking services provided at Fresh Choice, KiwiBank has lending and business banking consultants based in Nelson and Blenheim who can travel to Picton for consultations
in the customer’s home or workplace, she says. “We’ve already made a number of improvements to the layout and facilities for Kiwibank and NZ Post customers at the Fresh Choice supermarket. This included installing a new counter, signage, queue streaming and privacy screens and the changes have been well received.”

Entries Now Open Life Flight Trust volunteer Linda Thwaites accepts a cheque from Ulysses Club Marlborough Branch co-ordinator Kelvin Watson.
Ulysses to the rescue Motorcycle Club raises vital funds for Life Flight Trust Story and photo by Celeste Alexander More than 120 motorcycles roared into Blenheim on Monday (Anzac Day) as part of a very special fundraiser for the Life Flight Trust. The Ulysses Club Marlborough Branch organised their ‘Rescue Ride’ to raise money and the profile of the charitable and lifesaving emergency air service. Through donations, a sausage sizzle and the selling of Life Flight Trust badges the club raised $1275. Life Flight Trust volunteer and local woman Linda Thwaites was at the finish point of the Rescue Ride to welcome riders. “It was an incredible sight, all these motorcycles coming down the road.
It was a brilliant event,” she says. Club co-ordinator Kelvin Watson who led the ride, says he was ‘overwhelmed’ by the number of riders who went along on the day. “Before the ride I had said 100 riders would be a great achievement, but when I saw we had more I was blown away. “The bikes filled the Seymour Street carpark and out onto the street with everything from 600cc scooters, Harleys, CanAm Spiders and even a classic Moto Guzzi. “On behalf of myself and the club I would like to thank everyone who supported our Rescue Ride and made it the success it was,” he says. Kelvin presented a cheque to Linda yesterday which was added to the
$347 she had raised from Life Flight Trust merchandise sales and a raffle. Life Flight is a charity providing emergency air services, including the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Air Ambulance. In the year ending March 31, 2015 a total of 106 people from Marlborough were helped by Life Flight Trust’s services. Because Life Flight is a charity the support the Trust receives by way of donations, like the recent Rescue Ride, helps to ensure that emergency air services remain available 24/7 and provide the best possible outcomes for patients.

Bunker ducking, perfection unattainable Technology is not going to make every on-field decision correct but it should eliminate awful human blunders in officiating sport. The issue was once again in the limelight a couple of weeks ago after Warriors utility Solomone Kata was ruled to have grounded the ball in his own in-goal area by the NRL’s video bunker system. The on-field referees in-field said play on but were overruled by the officials watching the television. The subsequent goal line drop out allowed Manly to score and take the game by the scruff of the neck.
It seemed like the right call but a terrible way to get there. The NRL’s bunker system can intervene on some things but not others and that’s the issue with technology. Often it opens a can of worms. Plays look different slowed down on replay and then the television commentators give their opinions which often sway the opinions of those watching at home. Technology should be used to lessen terrible decisions not debatable decisions, not 50-50 decisions but absolute howlers. I’m talking about terrible lbw
decisions in cricket, caught behinds in cricket, shots that are called out in tennis when they are in by six inches and vice versa. The kind of decisions where officials happily admit they got it wrong post-match that should be overturned. Sport is played by humans and they make mistakes and so do officials. People who want perfection anywhere in life are doomed to disappointment but if terrible decisions can be eliminated then the technology is doing its job.

Harness qualifiers
With ... Jacob Page
Last Saturday the Marlborough OTB had three trial/workout races. There were three qualifiers in the first two races. Donegal Carrickfin a Bettor’s Delight three year old gelding qualified for David Broadhurst in a time of 3.05.08 over the 2400m journey. The second race saw Paul Scott’s charge Strawb’s Regal Act, by Gotta Go Cullect a 4 year old gelding, lead from the start to finish in a good time of 2.32.07 for 2000m. Brent Weaver’s two starters Jedi Josh (3rd) and Was Meant To Be (4th) both qualified in the same race. Strawb’s Regal Act is in the first race at Waterlea today and from one on the second line should go well.
Swimmers recruiting Story and photo by Cathie Bell Swimming is a great exercise, and the Marlborough Masters Swimming Club is looking to recruit more members. Club spokesman Peter Colbert says the club is about ‘fun, friendship, and fitness’, and it’s for people of all ages 20 years and above and skills, not just “fitness fanatics”, he says. The masters swimming club meets for an hour every Thursday night at 7pm at the Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000 pool as well as at 8.30am on Saturday mornings. Operating for about 28 years, the club has 25 members. The club has different swimming teams and programmes for swimmers at different levels. “We’re not all competitive swimmers. “Some people come just to swim, some come to socialise and swim – we go have a cuppa afterwards and once a month we
