Petrol tax rise Business owners hope increase won’t flow on By Celeste Lodewyk In December 2012 the government announced it would increase petrol excise duty by three cents each year for the following three years. Next Tuesday will see the second of these rises come into effect. The tax rise will be placed on the petrol companies who could be passing it on to consumers who, in turn, are predicted to pass it onto motorists. Challenge Queen Street Service Station owner Phil Sweet said he didn’t think fuel companies would swallow the rise, and said if there were to be one, it would be one of around six he had seen this year.

Blenheim man given guitar by Keith Urban By Celeste Lodewyk Blenheim country singer/songwriter Matthew McNeilly, who is currently living in Australia, was given the "best surprise" of his life when he and fiance Amelia Richards were given a guitar by country music star Keith Urban at a Sydney concert on Sunday. Matthew excitedly phoned the Sun Newspaper on Wednesday to share the news, saying it was an incredible experience. "Keith came out to the audience and stood on a small stage to perform. He signed the guitar he was playing, pulled Amelia up on stage and gave

"We are the biggest Keith Urban fans and just to make it more exciting, we gave him a copy of our EP which he took away with him. Asked what he plans to do with the guitar, Matthew said they plan to keep the signature intact but still play it. "It would be a crime against humanity if it was locked away and not played," he said. Matthew and Amelia released their Blenheim country singer Matthew McNeilly and fiance EP in January which can be found on Amelia Richards onstage at a Keith Urban concert with the guitar they were given by the star.

Petrol price rise expected to “filter down” Continued from page 1 “I haven’t had any information about a rise yet, but I would expect it would filter down to us,” he said. “When there are rises I try to hold out as long as I can before increasing prices, and as it is now

I am about two cents cheaper. Challenge Queen Street Service Station’s price of 91 is currently sitting at 219.9 cents per litre. According to Phil when price rises are announced some people rush to the pumps to fill up, but many motorists aren’t focusing

on price. “The average amount people are spending on petrol per visit is around $30 so a three per cent rise wouldn’t really bother them. “It’s good customer service that people return for rather than cheaper fuel prices, so that’s

Local teacher wins prize By Adam Poulopoulos A Marlborough Girls' College English teacher is ecstatic after her book was recognised with a New Zealand Post Book Award. Karen Healey's novel 'When we Wake' won the Children's Choice Award for young adult fiction at the awards ceremony in Auckland on Monday night. Karen describes the book, which took her about nine months to write, as 'dystopian fiction.' Set in Australia more than a century into the future, the book explores issues of government abuse and the effects of climate change. The heroine, Tegan Oglietti, is born into the world after her body becomes the first to be revived cryogenically by the Australian military. Karen said she was delighted to win the award in a hotly-contested category. She said she was inspired by a variety of sources. “I wanted to write a Sleeping Beauty story, and something that dealt with climate change. "It asks the same sorts of questions as books like The Hunger Games and Divergent, buit it's not exactly like them. Sixteen-year-old Tegan is another of the book's talking points. "We get bland female heroines, and I wanted an explicitly good-looking one who knew she was good-looking, and to explore the advantages and

Rescuers to receive award The heroic act of rescuing a schoolgirl from the flooded Taylor River will be recognised by a civic award bestowed by the people of Marlborough. The award, to Marlborough Boys’ College head boy Angus Pauley and Blenheim multisport champion Jeremy McKenzie, will be

presented by Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman at a ceremony at the Council chambers at 4pm on Monday, 30 June. Mr Sowman said the award was to recognise outstanding public service and an act of great personal bravery on the part of the two men.

Karen moved to Blenheim at the start of the year to take up her first full-time teaching job, and said she was unsure if or when she would write a third book in the series. She will be speak ing at the Marlborough Book Festival next month. The awards night also featured recognition for children’s author Joy Cowley.

Happy berth-day, Arahura The Interisland ferry Arahura will make her 50,000th crossing of Cook Strait tomorrow morning. The ship’s engine room logbook today showed the ship would achieve her 50,000th ‘berth day’ on the 3am Picton to Wellington sailing on Thursday June 26. Since 1983 Arahura has ferried passengers, trucks and trains between the North and South Islands, clocking up 2,500,000 nautical miles or about 4,600,000 kilometres, and making the equivalent of over 35,000 trips around New Zealand. State-of the-art when first commissioned, the Arahura has long been a crowd favourite with many particularly enjoying her forward-looking, Queen Charlotte Lounge.

Barb Williams is selling her business Dress Ups.

By Adam Poulopoulos Iconic Marlborough costume hire business Dress Ups is on the market after 18 years styling the region’s partygoers. Owner Barb Williams has put the store, on Middle Renwick Road, into the ether, looking for interest. She said she still enjoyed the business, but it was time for a break. “I’m ready and willing to sell and pass it on to the next owner. “I hope they love and enjoy it as much as I do.” Barb started the business from scratch in 1996 after spending four months travelling around the country looking at costume hire stores. With the help of a designer and dressmaker, she designed her first 50 costumes, which included medieval garb like the monk, princess and jester. Now, the store’s wardrobe con-

tains thousands of outfits, and Barb said the Queen of Hearts was her favourite. She said the variety of costumes was part of the store’s charm. “There’s a lot available on the internet, but they tend to be smaller sizes, and I pride myself in catering to all shapes and sizes. “My clientele knows they’ll walk out of here looking great.” Now Barb hopes somebody else can carry the service on. During her down time, Barb plans to finish her book, which is under the working title ‘When we Take our Clothes off.’ It will recount her experiences in the store, and Barb expects to finish writing it by Christmas. “It’s going to be hilarious,” she said. “I won’t name names, but there’s no doubt Blenheim clients could recognise themselves in a chapter or two.”

Double celebration for Four Square By Adam Poulopoulos The Spring Creek community will be looking to make a little money for themselves after the local Four Square had their new Lotto agency brought in. The agency was installed two weeks ago, but will be officially opened with a sausage sizzle and giveaways on July 4, coinciding with Four Square’s 90th birthday celebrations across the country. Spring Creek Four Square co-owner Tommy Glubb said it was exciting times for the store. “The community has been asking to get Lotto in for some time, and what better time to get it in than for Four Square’s 90th birthday? “We’ll try and make it a public event, and make it

a celebration for the community who have helped us stay afloat for so long.” The Four Square is a big part of the community and Tommy said it was about the relationships his team had built. “Eighty per cent of our business comes from the local community, and the staff see most faces come in every day. “They know each other’s names, and the customers know we have good products and fresh produce.” Mr Glubb and partner Casey Hilton-Pryor bought the store six months ago. Ms Hilton-Pryor broke her jaw after a recent fall, but is trying her best to be well enough to make the Owner Tommy Glubb with the store's new Lotto agency. celebration.

Jess relishes new role as funeral director By Celeste Lodewyk Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors is proud to introduce two new members to the team, funeral directors Jess Loach and Terry Ryan. The Sun talks to Jess this week about her new role, and will feature Terry in next week’s Friday Sun publication. Local girl Jess Loach is forging a new career in her home town as a funeral director for Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors, doing what she loves most looking after the local community. While studying midwifery former Marlborough Girls’ College student Jess found herself at a career crossroads. She was looking for a ‘change of direction’, and when an opportunity arose to join Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors she knew immediately it was

something she would find rewarding. “I did a lot of research into the industry,

looked at what type of personality and skills were required and found that much of it applied to me. “I could see myself in the role of funeral director and was wanting a career working to help people, so I approached Geoffrey T Sowman and began my training,” she said. Jess joined the team at the beginning of the year and said the support she received from Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors had been ‘incredible’ and loved every minute working with the team. “Some people are surprised when I tell them I am a funeral director but honestly, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” she said. Outside of work Jess spends a lot of time with family, including her favourite niece ‘Ruby’.

Our town waterway The Taylor River runs for 9km through the heart of Blenheim before joining the Opawa River and heading out to sea off the east coast of Marlborough. The river is many things to many people. • To the Council’s Rivers section it is a floodway that needs a clear run when heavy rain falls. • To our Reserves team it is a central and accessible expanse of riverside space that locals and visitors use and enjoy.

• To Council’s environmental scientists it’s the home for native fish and invertebrates and part of the district’s freshwater network with issues that need monitoring and improving. • And to the community it is a

much-enjoyed place to walk the dog, cycle to school, go for a run, push a pram or ride a mobility scooter, paddle a kayak or explore for a school project. The Taylor River Project works together to balance all these competing demands while looking after the water in the river and the land beside it. Run-off from rural and urban areas means that, at the centre of town, the river is currently graded as Very Poor for recreational activities. This has led to a concerted effort by the Council to monitor and improve the water quality. Since 2012, Council scientists have been taking water samples from 55 sites along the Taylor and its main tributaries to test for physical, biological and chemical causes. Faecal-source tracking identified animal, wildfowl and human discharges. Council engineers have tracked and fixed the leaks from sewage and stormwater pipes but the other sources of contamination remain an issue. Meanwhile the Marlborough Landscape Group, a volunteer advisory group to Council,

Mobility scooter safety

The number of mobility scooters has increased over the years as older people and people with physical disabilities discover the freedom and independence they bring. But from time to time complaints arise about the road safety issues surrounding these modes of transport – from both the riders and from other road users. It’s important that riders realise they can pose a risk to pedestrians and that common sense and courtesy is required as they share the pavements with those on foot. Scooter riders travel silently and their sudden appearance behind a pedestrian can be alarming, particularly for another elderly person. It’s also easy for a scooter rider to travel at speeds that create anxiety for other pedestrians. Anyone considering buying a mobility scooter, and those

coordinates community plantings for the Taylor River Project. The floodway’s primary role has been taken into account in the beautification, which includes “Tui to Town” plantings to attract native birds and the establishment of an arboretum along the riverside where, eventually, there will be a walking route through specimen trees from around the world. Schools have also adopted sections of the Taylor for planting and beautifying, and the Council’s Waikorero education programme uses the Taylor River to help children understand the importance of clean waterways through the Fish on Drains project, which raises awareness about keeping paint, oil and chemicals out of the waterways.

who already ride them, can get personal, one-to-one training from a scooter expert. From time to time, free seminars are arranged in Blenheim and Picton, offering information and road safety tips to scooter owners. Grey Power, MDC Road Safety and Marlborough Roads staff are planning to create accessibility routes showing safe and efficient options for mobility scooter users travelling from the suburbs into Blenheim’s CBD. • Marlborough Roads welcomes feedback from mobility scooter users about any pedestrian crossings where the view is being impaired by parked cars. It may be that in some places the yellow ‘no stopping’ lines need to be extended. Marlborough Roads, Ph: 03 520 8330.

Got an important issue to share with Marlborough? Text your thoughts to:

Seddon water supply. There are heaps of towns that don’t have suitable water for human consumption. We only drink about one liter of water a day. It makes sense to either buy it, save it after you have boiled the jug for a cuppa, or fill up your water containers at a designated tap. I am sure this is a better option than having to cough up for a treatment plant that won’t be free for Seddon residents.

Labour fiscal plan sound Dear Ed, Labour has published a credible, sound and evidence based fiscal plan detailing the Party’s plans to manage the Government books when it is elected to office on September 20 in the forthcoming election. The Party’s plan shows Labour repaying Net Core Crown debt faster than the current Government, a lower net expenditure track than the current Government, and ongoing and increasing fiscal surpluses, unless there is another global recession or natural disaster such as the Canterbury earthquake. Perhaps most importantly, the Party’s fiscal plan outlines plans to boost education in health and education. The plan outlines a cohesive, robust and sound base for Labour to deliver strong growth, higher wages and a more resilient economy going forward. It is well worth a read.

St Marks Addiction Residential Treatment Centre newly appointed clinical team leader, Hatarei Peka. Photo by Celeste Lodewyk.

Friday June 27, 2014

New clinical team leader for addiction treatment centre By Celeste Lodewyk Hatarei Peka has seen first hand what addiction can do to individuals and families, an experience that has led him to a career as a drug and alcohol counsellor. Hatarei is the newly appointed clinical team leader for the St Marks Addiction Residential Treatment Centre in Blenheim. His journey began when he himself took part in a programme at Christchurch’s Odyssey House over 20 years

ago for addiction. “There was a lot of addiction in my family and I had many family members die because of it. “In a space of two years I lost three family members, so I became very passionate about working with people struggling with addiction problems,” he said. In 1994 Hatarei graduated and stayed on to work as a senior resident, progressing through various roles including

associate director. He also completed a diploma in drug and alcohol counselling. At Odyssey House he worked for 20 years until a friend tried convincing him to relocate to Auckland for a position with a similar treatment centre. “He was telling me how much he enjoyed his work and suggested I join him, but my daughter wasn’t happy with me going to the North Island,” he laughed.

Purely by chance Hatarei saw a position advertised at Saint Marks which he said had many similarities to his work at Odyssey House, and made the move to Marlborough. “I wanted to be doing what I loved and enjoy which includes more contact with clients. “I really love it here in Marlborough and with St Marks, and after 20 years in this field of work I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” he said.

Whale Chasers returns By Adam Poulopoulos A locally-made film is heading back to Picton for two special screenings this weekend. 'Whale Chasers' will be shown tonight and tomorrow night at the Picton Little Theatre, beginning at 7pm for both screenings. The film, which premiered in Picton in January, charts the migration of the Oceania sub-population of humpback whales from Antarctica to New Caledonia. It took about 18 months to make, including research and editing time. It was shown at the 11th Annual San Francisco International Ocean Film Festival in March. Filmmaker Tess Brosnan said the movie was wellreceived in the US. "It was amazing because the Americans loved the Kiwi-ness, and the Marlborough-ness of the film. "A lot of them were considering coming to visit Marlborough after the film." The movie's next destination is the Mokpo International Ocean Film Festival in Korea in August. Tickets for both Picton screenings are still available, either at the door, Take Note Picton, or, for Blenheim residents, by emailing dramatrix@ bigpond.com.

The Matthew’s Mechanical Services team, Ben, Matthew and Patrick.

Matthew’s Mechanical Services Matthew's Mechanical Services first opened on Main Street three years ago and in that time the business has grown in both size and staff numbers. "Three years on and we are still going strong. "We would like to introduce you to the new extended and improved workshop and staff at Matthew's Mechanical Services," owner Matthew Ryan says. Taking on another two bays at the workshop has allowed space for a new waiting area and reception, as well as a 'smoko' room to keep the boys happy, he says. A new tyre bay now features a huge range of competitively priced tyres for all vehicles and machinery. Mags are also available and will soon be displayed for customers to view. Working alongside Matthew is apprentice Ben who has been with the business for one year.

A big welcome has also been given to Patrick who joined the team at Matthew's Mechanical Services last month, bringing with him an extensive knowledge in working with gear boxes, trucks and heavy machinery. At Matthew's Mechanical Services the team offers all types of mechanical work and comprehensive servicing on all vehicles. A pick up and delivery service is available, including breakdowns, as well as call out servicing for farm vehicles and machinery. Matthew's Mechanical Services has great competitive rates and a courtesy car available, and for those of you who still need the use of a 4WD vehicle while yours is being fixed, Matt is always happy to lend his out. Call in and see the team at Matthew's Mechanical Services for all your mechanical needs.

Chilean Needle Grass

Council backs grass eradication document The Marlborough District Council has pledged its support for a strategy document outling the future eradication of Chilean Needle Grass in Marlborough. The recently-formed Chilean Needle Grass Action Group, which is dealing with the issue in Marlborough, met their Canterbury counterparts last month to discuss the issue. Barbara Stuart from the Landcare Research Trust has made funding available to allow the document to

be written. CNGAG chair Warwick Lissaman said while the number of properties affected in Canterbury is smaller than Marlborough, it was clear both groups shared the opinion that education around plant identification and individual property biosecurity was important. About 180 properties in Marlborough are affected by Chilean Needle Grass, which can reduce growth of other vegetation and cause blindness in lambs.

Pigging out A local guinea pig has turned caregiver for one particularly lucky and rotund mouse. Patch the guinea pig has been feeding Scratch the mouse for the last three months, and owner Maureen Phillips finally has the photographic evidence to prove it. Ms Phillips, who has been breed-

ing guinea pigs for the last five years, said her friends would finally be able to see the behaviour she had been telling them about. "I kept telling people and none of them believed me!" Maureen's son Marcus, up from Christchurch, snapped the photo.

Reality bites

inbrief

It has been quite a week for Uruguay striker Luis Suarez. One of the best footballers in the world, Suarez’s pre-tournament injury threatened to keep him out of the World Cup. He recovered to score two goals to help his team beat England in a must-win game. Then, as his team beat Italy in another must-win game to qualify for the second round, he was reported for biting the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini. The referee took no action on the field despite Chiellini showing him teeth marks, and it remains unclear if there will be retrospective action against a man suspended twice before for biting.

FOOTBALL The Marlborough Mariners football team's game against AMI Suburbs ended early last weekend when referee Dave Baker called the game off early. The decision came after 74 minutes as a result of continued dissent by AMI Suburbs players and management. The Mariners were leading 3-2 at the time. The Mariners have been awarded the three points. They head to Nelson to play Wakefield First XI tomorrow.

Through all of this, we have seen every facet of Suarez’s personality, and it’s reaching the point where he will be remembered more for his ill-discipline than his footballing genius, no matter what he achieves from here. There are some incredibly skilled sportspeople that cannot shake their personal issues out of the public consciousness. The late, great George Best, an incredible footballer himself, is remembered more for his alcoholism, abusive behaviour and hedonistic lifestyle. His quote “ I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered,” has gone down in folklore.

Former cricket captains Hansie Cronje and Mohammad Azharuddin were banned for life for match-fixing, and Chris Cairns may be heading down the same path as Suarez due to the allegations against him. There are some success stories too. Ivory Coast footballer Didier Drogba, the best player his country has produced, will have five health clinics built back home with the money he has earned. It remains to be seen how far down the rabbit hole Suarez goes, but it would be a shame for him to squander his talent with his repeated stupidity.

CAPTAIN INJURED

Teams battle for Top of South supremacy

Marlborough Boys’ College First XV captain Zac HarrisonJones will miss the rest of the season with a broken leg. Zac, a centre, sustained the injury during the game against Lincoln High School last weekend. Zac had a metal rod inserted into his leg after the incident. MBC won the game 31-5 and play Christchurch Boys in Christchurch in their next fixture tomorrow.

By Adam Poulopoulos Eight netball teams from Marlborough and Nelson will compete for bragging rights at the Tasman Trophy this weekend. The tournament begins tomorrow at 4pm, and continues on Sunday from 9:30am at Marlborough Lines Stadium 2000. The tournament is made up of eight teams, the top four women’s teams from either side of the Whangamoas. Marlborough's representatives are SMOG Bayleys,

KAIKOURA WARRIOR You can still enter the Kaikoura Warrior obstacle course event on Sunday. Both teams and individuals can enter the event. For more information, visit the Sport Tasman website.

Marlborough Girls' College Scaffold Marlborough, Harlequins Radich Law and Tokomaru Crafar Crouch. As the highest-placed Marlborough team SMOG heads into the competition with high hopes. Co-captain Cara Wiapo (pictured) said she was excited about the tournament, but unsure of the challenges the Nelson teams would pose. "It provides a bit more competition. In small towns you have the top four or five teams and then there's usually a level change. "We haven't played against the Nelson teams for a while, so we have confidence in our team, but we're not

really sure what we're up against." During the tournament each team will play three games, including the final. Wiapo said the short turnarounds would be hard on the body. "By the end of it it'll be quite tough. "It's going to be a different level of netball than we're used to - quite close and pretty physical, seeing as we're playing Nelson. "It'll be good to see whose competition is stronger." The annual tournament began five years ago, but has not been held since 2012 due to the Nelson floods last year.
