Still shining at 104 Marlborough’s oldest sister of New Zealand’s oldest By Kristy Martin At 104, Betty Fleming is believed to be Marlborough’s oldest living resident. And it must be the result of good genes, because her sister Peg Griffin is New Zealand’s oldest resident. Betty, who lives at Ashwood Park Retirement Village, flew over to the Kapiti Coast at the weekend to celebrate her sister’s 110th birthday. “It was very nice, I’m very glad I went up,” said Betty, who enjoyed catching up with relatives. “It was a big gathering and really conversational.” While her cheeky elder sister was joking and sipping champagne, Betty was the more subdued one.

Still shining at 104 years Continued from page 1 “I don’t do very much,” says Betty, who has lost the majority of her sight, “but I’m very lucky to have such a nice little room. “It gets plenty of sunshine.” And she is thankful for the care she receives. “I’m very grateful to have people watching out for my health and

comfort.” When asked the secret to longevity, Betty says family has always played an important role. “I was one of five and we were brought up on the farm, so we had good care and good food and all the things that farm families have. “I think I’ve had a very full life.” Betty will turn 105 in September.

Black market lobster sting More than 40 people, including some Marlburians, have come under fire for the illegal catching and selling of crayfish following an undercover operation by the Ministry of Primary Industries. Fifty MPI compliance officers have wrapped up the sting, which focused on Kaikoura, but also included Marlborough, Nelson and Christchurch. Selling a recreational fishing catch is illegal and carries a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine. Forty-three people will be interviewed by compliance officers, with many likely to face serious Fisheries Act charges, including a food wholesaler and a restaurant in Christchurch. Ten cars, five boats and a tractor have been seized as part of the operation, which involved the execution of 32 search warrants. “It is MPI’s role to ensure people are fishing by the rules and to protect New Zealand’s fisheries for future

generations,” said MPI director-general Martyn Dunne. An undercover MPI Special Duties Officer bought 1200 cooked rock lobster from recreational fishers in an operation run over 12 months. MPI’s director of compliance Dean Baigent says the ease in which someone could purchase 1200 rock lobster points to a well established black market. “For some permanent residents, selling their recreational catch and taking extra is a long practised and normalised behaviour. “The same goes for people who like to buy a few cheap crays or a bag of fillets at the pub or out of the boot of a car.” Mr Baigent says there is no black market if people aren’t buying. “We rely on the public to help protect their fisheries. I encourage people to report any suspicious fishing, buying or selling to 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476 224).”

Minister seeks college input Education Minister Hekia Parata is giving people in Blenheim two months to have their say on the future of Marlborough Boys’ and Marlborough Girls’ colleges. A report into the redevelopment of Education Minister the two secondary Hekia Parata. schools has been presented to the education minister, who is in Blenheim today visiting local schools. “This is an opportunity to re-look at secondary education in the town to see if it still fits with what the community wants and what 21st century learning and pathways demand for secondary school students,” said Ms Parata. “We want students in Blenheim to have access to the best possible facilities to help them achieve to their full potential. “I want to thank the Boards of Trustees for the work already done to engage with the wider community about secondary schooling in Blenheim. Feedback from this has informed the options that will now be part of the formal consultation.” The community is being asked to consider three options: · To relocate one or both schools so that there are two single sex colleges co-located on one site or in close proximity to each other · To retain the status quo · To have one purpose built co-educational college The minister encouraged students, parents, teachers and the wider community to put their views forward. “It’s important to know what people think about the strengths and weakness of these three options. “I will carefully consider all feedback before making my decision about how secondary schooling in Blenheim should look in the future.” School boards and the community will have until August 1 to provide their feedback. The ministry will then prepare a report for Ms Parata and she will make a decision on the preferred option.

Winston Peters meets Blenheim paramedics By Kristy Martin New Zealand First leader Winston Peters touched down in Blenheim yesterday, kicking off his visit at the St John ambulance station, where he met with paramedics and toured the facility. Mr Peters was keen to learn what equipment St John used and what sort of funding the organisation had. While there, he was shown a new $23,000 advanced life support mannequin used to train paramedics. The remote control simulator doll can breathe, bleed and scream and is used by entry-level volunteers right up to advanced care paramedics. It was funded by the Canterbury Community Trust, the Pelorus Trust and the Marlborough District Council. Mr Peters’ one-day tour of Blenheim also saw him visit a local radio station and winery before speaking at a public meeting at the Clubs of Marlborough.

PRESENTING FINDINGS Statistics New Zealand will be presenting the Marlborough results of the 2013 Census next Wednesday. The presentation is at the Marlborough Research Centre on Budge Street, from 9:30am-noon.

ANNUAL PLAN HEARINGS Submissions have closed for the Marlborough District Council’s 2014-15 Draft Annual Plan. Submission hearings will take place at Council from June 3-5.

SERVICES CLOSED A number of public services will be closed on Queen’s Birthday Monday. The Council office will be shut, and rubbish collection scheduled for Monday wil be diverted to Tuesday. The Seddon, Rai Valley and Wairau Valley transfer stations will be closed, as will the Blenheim and Picton libraries.

CHEQUES NOT LEGIT St John Blenheim's Josh Wooding, first responder, and Alan Wilson, emergency medical technician, show New Zealand First leader Winston Peters the new advanced life support mannequin.

Vineyard director sentenced for tax evasion A former Blenheim-based business man who was extradited from Australia has been sentenced to nine months home detention after pleading guilty to 18 charges of tax evasion totalling more than $350,000. Tarlochan Singh Padda, director of Padda Viticultural Limited, also received 150 hours of community service and his New Zealand-owned properties were forfeited to the Crown. Padda was sentenced at the Blenheim District Court this week

after being found guilty of knowingly evading the assessment and payment of tax. Inland Revenue group manager of Investigations and Advice, Patrick Goggin, said Padda was a serial tax cheat, who despite being under investigation still continued with his tax evasion scheme. Between 2005 to 2008, Padda claimed more than $1 million in subcontractor expenses from five separate false contractors. “Padda’s behaviour, while not sophisticated, was a continuous

and deliberate effort to claim money to which he was not entitled by breaking the law,” Mr Goggin said. “He was the person responsible for arranging the preparation and filing of the various GST and PAYE tax returns for his company. He provided invoices to his accountant so that large subcontractors’ expenses were claimed, which would result in lower levels of GST, PAYE and income tax being paid. “Padda claimed these expenses

were received from subcontractors; however our investigation showed the subcontractors were in fact false and Padda had been involved in an evasion scheme which he had been operating in the horticultural industry. “Padda is a repeat offender and was fully aware of his tax obligations. “Unfortunately he chose to ignore them and is now paying the consequences for his actions.”

A 35-year-old woman will appear in court after she was caught using fraudulent cheques to pay for things. Police said the female caregiver was arrested for using cheques to pay for services while she knew that the cheque account was no longer active. She was charged with using a document for pecuniary advantage and will appear in the Blenheim District Court on May 16.

PICTON HISTORY The Picton Little Theatre will showcase a series of photos titled ‘Picton in the Years Gone By’ on Sunday June 29. Starting at 1.30pm, the $5 entry fee includes afternoon tea. The event is a fundraiser for the Picton Community Men’s Shed.

More access for Accessman

Business

By Adam Poulopoulos A Blenheim company sees their imminent move to Sutherland Terrace as a big boost for business. Accessman Blenheim’s offices, and their fleet of knuckle boom lifts, scissor lifts and cherry pickers, will be moving to the corner of Sutherland Terrace and Kinross Street next month. The outside of the new building has just been painted, with work continuing on the interior. Jenny Francis, who co-owns the Blenheim franchise with husband Colin, said moving away from their Main Street home of ten years would make life easier for their customers. “There’s better access off the busy road. It’s getting harder and harder for people to come in and out. “We’re going to have a new purpose-built drive-through yard at the new premises too,” added Colin. The pair have seen the business expand since they took over six years ago. They now have a 36-machine fleet, up from 14 since they bought in.

inbrief BUSINESS HELP

A Marlborough District Council resource offering advice for Marlborough businesses is now open. Smart Business Marlborough aims to make Marlborough a ‘smart and connected’ region by offering advice to existing business and new businesses moving in. Enquire at the Council for details.

COMPUTER TRAINING The Blenheim Library will be hosting two computer training courses in the next week. The class on Tuesday, 3 June at 9am will be on emails, with the 6:30pm course on Thursday, June 5 covering computer basics. Only six places are available per class. To register visit the stepping up website or enquire at the library.

Accessman’s Colin Francis at the new site.

A new larger truck has also been purchased to cope with the larger equipment, which is up to seven tonnes in weight. “It’s come a long way from the original days,” said Jenny. “The wineries use a lot of our gear, and

it used to be just about all wineries, but now it’s across the board from construction workers, arborists, painters to anyone who needs to work at height safely.” The new yard is due to open in mid-late June.

Cortado full of new beans MOA CONTRACT Marlborough brewers Moa have agreed to a contract which will see their volume brewing taken to Nelson. McCashin’s Brewery will take over that responsibility. Moa will continue to brew their own high-end beer, and no staff will be moved as a result of the switch.

AUTHORISED DEALER

By Adam Poulopoulos Employees from a Picton establishment have found it easier to make and decorate their coffees since the cafe invested in a new coffee machine. Cortado, on the corner of High Street and London Quay, bought their new machine from Italy, and it arrived in the restaurant two weeks ago. They have also had a new four bean blend created especially for them. Manager Wilson Robledo Fuentes said the new machine had been a breath of fresh air. “All our local customers love it! We have a lot of customers who come in every day and they’ve noticed the difference in the coffee.

Wilson Robledo Fuentes and Steph Lewis with some of their creations.

“When you have a new machine you can make the coffee however you want, but with the old machine, even if you tried to do it really well it still came out the same.” Fellow manager Steph Lewis said the old machine

had been in use for four years, and it was feeling the pinch. “It was breaking down a little bit. “This one’s a lot bigger, smoother and more consistent, and for us it’s a lot more fun to use.”

Council’s smart technology wins national awards A Marlborough District Council technology solution giving our building inspectors a faster way of working took the 2014 Association of Local Government Information Management (ALGIM) Web and Digital Project of the Year Award. At the same time, Council’s Smart Maps took the award for the best new feature website for councils serving a region with a population under 50,000. We were the only Council to get two awards - proof that innovation can be delivered from a smaller region like Marlborough. The judges saw our mobile building inspection solution, built on a shared services platform used by several other New Zealand councils and integrating with Council systems, as an efficiency innovation adding real value. They found our Smart Maps platform, which gives people fast access to Council data, was ‘customer focused, versatile and easy to use”. Council chief executive Andrew Besley said the awards highlight how Marlborough District Council is using technology to benefit the region. Both awards come in the wake of the Council’s long-term

Positive Ageing -

Don’t get isolated

Maintaining social contact can be difficult as people age, especially when health and mobility begin to fail. As the months begin to get colder, it can be hard to find the incentive to get out of the house. Yet, for most people, staying in touch with others is important to maintain a sense of wellbeing. • If you can get out and about, joining a club or organisation is a good way of maintaining social contact and a sense of ‘belonging’. Our libraries maintain a database of information about the clubs and groups in Marlborough. • More information: www.marlboroughlibraries.govt.nz

ANECDOTE BEGETS ANECDOTE I was considering writing a serious response to the anti vaccine txts but then I realised, these people arent interested in a scientific debate, only emotional, irrational, selfish spreading of propoganda and rumours. Im so thankful not to live in an era of polio and th like, and i hope to goodness your children never suffer from such awful diseases x

BAD MANNERS Blenheim shop keepers. When your opening time on a Saturday says 9.30am please be open by 9.30am. Having to wait only makes people more inclined to buy of the internet. As I went home and did. Lateness is the ultimate in bad manners.

DON’T STOP LEARNING One thing I hav lernt in this world. Ukraine. USA. Nigera. korea. Japan. E.t.c the people still suffer. yet there governments who controll what happens, still have a great life.

SO KNOWLEDGE. WOW. Eugene at Harvey Norman - you are awesome! So friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for making shopping for our big items easy.

ROUNDABOUT ANGST With Blenheim being the roundabout capital of NZ, you’d think people would know how to drive around them. That funny stick beside the steering wheel is called an indicator. When you exit a roundabout you need to indicate so people giving way to you know you are exiting the roundabout and they can therefore go. Let’s all work together on this. :-)

DISILLUSIONED Amid cabinet clubs, cash for access to ministers, oravida, donations going into trusts, dotcom and banks, now dotcom and mana and all the cheap political shots... no wonder voting participation is so low and falling - it’s a farce. maybe political parties should be state funded, albeit very stringently funded. They say pay peanuts get monkeys - maybe monkeys would be a step up.

SINGLE BOTTLE SALES Fear not beer connoisseurs the problem is the grape barons do no consider their end product as alcohol. So simply make your bottles the same size, emphasise the acohol content and they will be forced to increase the size of boutique wine bottles as well.both products have the same effect, social impact & result. Remember who controls the region. Non-drinker

Christchurch artist brings workshop to Blenheim Story by Celeste Lodewyk Christchurch-based full time artist Wayne Seyb will be bringing his fresh approach to painting when he comes to Blenheim for a weekend workshop on June 28 and 29. The workshop is aimed at helping people to find their own means of self expression with oils or acrylics, starting with the basics of drawing, colour and contrast. Wayne has become well-known in Christchurch for his paintings of the earthquake-stricken city. “I have been madly painting the buildings and streets before they disappear, chronicling Christchurch’s red zone if you like,” he said. “It’s been an incredible shared experience as I paint on location and often have interaction with residents and workers. “It’s been very therapeutic journey for me

Rain fails to dampen 2014 vintage Marlborough winegrowers were this year better equipped to deal with an influx of large crops, having learnt from the turbulent harvest of 2008, says Wine Marlborough general manager Marcus Pickens Despite the late season rain, Mr Pickens said this year’s crop was likely to be Marlborough’s biggest yet. “That obviously produces challenges of its own but our wineries are telling us they are in a much better position to deal with a big crop than they were back in 2008,” he said. “The signals were clear early on in the season that we would have a big crop this vintage. “Since 2008, wineries and growers have become much better at yield estimation – and as a result are getting yield estimation more precise. “Being aware a big crop is expected allows them to intervene early through grape thinning which has had a beneficial impact on wine quality. “They have also had time to work on their marketing and distribution strategies. “As the world moves past the global financial crisis that was just making its impact felt in 2008, the market has been expanding rather than contracting.” Mr Pickens said Marlborough winemakers felt positive about the 2014 vintage in spite of the challenges of the April rainfall. An early start to the season had helped combat this, he said. “When the rain came in mid-April, harvesting was already well advanced. “We don’t yet have any definitive figures for the proportion of the crop picked before the rain arrived, but anecdotally it seems to have been around 80 to 85 per cent. “As a result, we can characterise the vintage as very positive for most vineyards, in spite of the late curve ball the April rain threw at us.” Mr Pickens says he had heard some stories of growers being caught by the wet weather and having to leave grapes on the vine, but believed the majority of growers had their grapes in before the rain arrived.

ings have captured many beautiful landscapes throughout Marlborough. “I have a long connection with Blenheim and have always loved the Wither Hills and Richmond Ranges and have painted them both. “What I love about painting on location is the direct experience of the landscape and its reflection in the painting, which is something I hope to do in the workshops,” he said. Wayne is welcoming people of all abilities to take part in his workshop. “It’s an incredible fact that everyone has something within to make art and it’s my job to bring that out,” he said. To find out more about Wayne’s workshop or to register visit marlboroughartsociety. com/workshops or phone Helen Ballinger on 021 0267 8711.

What makes you smile? Arsenal winning the FA Cup and ending the trophy drought. What’s your pet hate? Noisy eaters and Tottenham.

Q A Q A Q A

Your favoured holiday destination? I always have a good time when I’m in Auckland, but I’d love to be in Brazil for the World Cup. What’s your favourite music? Has to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Kiedis, Flea, Frusciante, what more can I say? What is the one thing Sun readers would be surprised to know about you? I used to play lawn bowls and almost qualified for South Islands.

World Smokefree Day Quit now. It’s about whānau.

31st May ‘14

World Smokefree Day Ditch the smokes and put your health first by going smokefree. Tomorrow is World Smokefree Day and is celebrated annually on May 31 on an international level. It serves to celebrate and work towards smokefree/auahi kore lives for New Zealanders. This year’s theme is ‘Quit now. It’s about whanau.’ and is aiming to encourage and help those who want to quit smoking, and support their

friends and whanau on their quit journey. If you would like to quit smoking and want more information about how to go about it, for free advice and support contact: Your Doctor or Practice Nurse Te Hauora O Ngati Rarua - Aukati Kaipaipa Quit Smoking Programme Ph: (03) 577 8404 Quitline - Free support via phone, txt, and email Ph: 0800 778 778,

www.quit.org.nz Local Pharmacies - for advice and products available to help you quit Local library for helpful books and DVDs When you visit your Doctor, Nurse or Health Provider you can expect to be: A. Asked if you smoke B. Be offered brief advice C. Be offered support, or referred to cessation support to quit.

What being smokefree might mean to you? • You are part of the more than 80% of New Zealanders that are smokefree. • You don’t have to worry about the impact smoking will have on your health. • Your knowledge will be able to be shared with the next generations. • There’s less chance that your kids will smoke. • Your whanau can live a healthier life.

• Tobacco and the tobacco industry don’t control your life. • You can get active and/or play sport for longer.

• You are supporting someone you love to be smokefree. • You don’t have to worry about where the money’s coming from for the next packet of cigarettes. • You are part of the move to make Aotearoa/New Zealand smokefree by 2025. • You were born smokefree and want to stay that way. • Your car is smokefree because you’re trying to quit.

The health effects of smoking cigarettes • Smoking increases the risk of developing cancers of the lung, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus and pancreas. Smoking also increases the risk of developing diseases of the urinary tract, pelvis, bladder and digestive tract. • Smoking causes one in four of all cancer deaths in New Zealand. • People who smoke inhale more than 4,000 chemicals including acetone (paint stripper), ammonia (toilet cleaner), cyanide (rat killer),

DDT (insecticide) and carbon monoxide (car exhaust fumes). • Smoking is a major cause of blindness, with about 1,300 people in New Zealand having untreatable blindness due to current and past smoking. • It is estimated that many deaths due to various diseases could be prevented if smoking was eliminated, including: • 68% of female deaths and 82% of male deaths due to lung cancer

• 65% of female deaths and 79% of male deaths due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease • 11% of female deaths and 18% of male deaths due to heart disease • 8% of female deaths and 15% of male deaths due to stroke. • Adults who have never smoked and who live with smokers have a 15% higher risk of death than those living in a smokefree household.

Historic journey By Celeste Lodewyk It has been an 18-year long journey for Blenheim woman Gwenda Hodson, but finally her book titled ‘Onamalutu - A sentimental journey’ has been published. Gwenda joked that it would be her “first and last” book but was thrilled to see it completed. As a young child growing up, Gwenda has many fond memories of the families who lived in the Onamalutu area. “At one stage Onamalutu was bustling with gold mining and milling so there were many families who came to live and work there. “It didn’t last long, however, but the history has which is all included in this book,” she said. The idea to write the book came when Gwenda met with the late Anne Davis who invited her to join the Renwick Museum. Anne had been collecting information and history on Onamalutu for the museum and encouraged Gwenda to write her book.

“When she passed away I carried on, visiting the families and collecting photographs and ended up with a big folder full of research. “ T he museum suppor ted me by applying for grants to fund the book’s publication,” she said. Cynthia and Graham Brooks both worked on the editing and p h o t og r a p hy, while their daughter Wendy did the book’s graphics. Nearly 100 copies have been printed and are now on sale through the Gwenda Hodson has just completmuseum for $45. ed an 18-year-long historic journey, An official book launch will researching and publishing her be held on June 16 at 2pm at the book about Onamalutu.

Chopper appeal hits streets Volunteers will be on the streets of Blenheim and Picton today collecting donations for the Life Flight Trust Appeal. Marlburians are being asked to give generously to the appeal in aid of Wellington’s Life Flight Helicopter, which also services the Marlborough region. Mary Beesley, who is coordinating the appeal with the support of Lindsay Moir and the Blenheim Lions Club, said approximately five missions are conducted by the chopper each week and each mission costs $2500. About 125 volunteers will be on the streets and in shops and supermarkets collecting cash for the cause. Ms Beesley thanked all the collectors who are giving up their time today.

We would like to thank Marlborough for its support in our first year here. We would like to offer:

In Japan they grow square watermelons

307

H L T E E M

The watermelon is thought to have originated in southern Africa. By the 10th century, watermelons were being cultivated in China, which is today the world’s single largest watermelon producer. Japanese farmers discovered a way of raising the melons inside glass boxes so they grow square. This makes them easy to stack and store but the cubic watermelons are often more than double the price of normal ones, and much of their appeal to consumers is in their novelty.

World Cup Finals close

inbrief

It’s fair to say we don’t understand the love for football in this country. It’s difficult to put into context. The love we have for the All Blacks is strong, but constrained by the passive nature of our fans. It is said in Manchester there are two religions, United and City. Families are split down the middle on game day as they are in the other great footballing cities – London, Rome, Madrid, Athens… But that fandom does not come close to the fanaticism of Brazil’s fans, one of the reasons I am

KARTING The 29th edition of the Central New Zealand Sunbelts Championship takes place this weekend. The two-day event begins in Blenheim, at the Cresswell Electrical Kart Raceway, at 10am tomorrow. It moves to Nelson on Sunday.

TRIATHLON Early bird entries are open for the Jules Taylor Marlborough Women’s Triathlon in a few months. The event takes place on Sunday, November 30. To enter visit the Marlborough Women’s Triathlon website. Entries are limited to 500.

looking forward to the action in this year’s World Cup Finals. It is said being a therapist in Brazil is a poor career choice, as football serves as a secondary purpose as a forum for venting frustration. Going to a club match can literally be a matter of life and death in a place which is a study in contrasts in regards to just about every social indicator, but is united in its passion for the round ball. Earlier this year a fan was killed when a toilet bowl, which had been ripped from the stadium

restroom, was thrown from the stands. But it’s not just the fans. Last year, an amateur referee was decapitated and his head placed on a stake after he stabbed a player to death during the match. While it’s presumptuous to say this kind of thuggery will mar the World Cup, the fans’ passion is one of the reasons it is the most viewed sporting event on the planet. The finals start on June 12. Go the Greeks.

Tasman students tackle the hills

PIG HUNT

Students put their stamina to the test during the regional secondary schools’ cross country champs held in Blenheim on Wednesday. Ten Tasman secondary schools were involved in the event, which saw students tackle a variety of courses over the Wither Hills. Gail Fletcher from Marlborough Boys’ College, who hosted the event, said courses ranged from 3km for the year nines and juniors to 6km for the senior boys. There were also short and long courses for students with intellectual disabilities. Despite some wind on the hills, it was a great day for competition. “It is a brilliant day and the course is dry underfoot, so that’s important,” she said. While the cross country is an annual event, it has been about eight years since Blenheim last hosted it.

Entries for the Woody Pig and Deer Hunt have now closed. The hunt begins on Friday, and continues through to Sunday. The weigh-in begins on Sunday at 2pm, and prize giving will be held from 4:30pm.

GYMNASTICS Entries are open for the 2014 Top of the South Gymnastics Championships, which will be held in Blenheim this year. It will be held at Stadium 2000 on the weekend of July 12 and 13. Entries for all recreational and competitive gymnasts are open until June 6. For more information contact the Blenheim Gymnastics Club.
