Rowing, family and Alison

By Chris Valli

Blenheim’s Brian Hutchison, 90, won four gold medals at the South Island Masters’ Games in Timaru at the weekend.

Proving age continues to be no barrier, the former post office linesman finished first in the indoor rowing events in the 100, 200, 500 and 1000 metre disciplines.

His age category was 90-94 years young.

The goal of the Masters Games is to encourage participation in sport where camaraderie and competition are equally celebrated.

Family is a big part

Publishers

It is obvious with age and wisdom Brian possesses a sharp wit when asked about the various disciplines and the mind-set to succeed.

“I was nearly going to pull out of the 1000 as it wasn’t my favourite event. I had my family come down to see and support me, it was bloody brilliant. Going into the 1000 was a chance to warm up for the others.”

“I am bloody lucky at my age to be doing what I’m doing.

“Family is a big thing.”

Brian’s Redwoodtown home resembles a Masters Games ‘Te Papa’ with all things historical when it comes to rowing. The wall in his garage reflects a sport which has provided various highlights over the years with clippings, photographs and medals.

The sport he says has provided camaraderie for himself and his four sons, Barry, David, Ross and Neal.

Brian has had a long association and involvement with the Blenheim Rowing Club dating back to 1950.

“There have been wonderful

people involved with the club over the years and this continues to be the case.”

Brian says he is thankful at his age to have support from family who continue to be his motivation and the Blenheim Rowing Club. He would also like to acknowledge the Sun Newspaper for the coverage and ‘profile’ over the years and Mike from Meaters of Marlborough who dropped off a meat pack after hearing of Brian’s games success.

Brian says the progression from rowing the Wairau River, which he is still doing, to the indoor variety was a matter of ‘keeping busy’ especially after losing his late wife Alison to cancer 18 months ago. The couple were married for 64 years and she was his number one support in every definition of the word.

“I was asked to give a speech and a few words after winning the medals in Timaru. My only disappointment was that my lovely wife Alison couldn’t be there. She would’ve

Nadine wins mayoral race

inbrief

Close battle with two seats - final results will be available on thursday

Council extends barge and water taxi subsidy

By Maia Hart LDR reporter

Marlborough has a new mayor.

Based on a count of about 90 per cent of voters, Nadine Taylor will take the top council seat for the coming term.

Speaking from her parents’ house on Saturday afternoon, Taylor said she was “honoured and excited” to be voted in by the people of Marlborough.

“Waiting for that phone call, you start to think ‘have I done enough’.

The chief executive [Mark Wheeler] rang and said ‘congratulations’, and the work starts now, it was just a really lovely phone call to get,” Taylor said.

Seeing the preliminary election results list for the first time, Taylor thought Marlborough had been very sensible in their voting.

She added it was good to see some younger councillors and wahine around the table – with Raylene Innes elected in the Marlborough Sounds ward for the first time, Deborah Dalliessi in the Blenheim ward and Allanah Burgess taking the new Maori ward seat.

“There’s a good mix of experience and new blood,” the former deputy mayor said. “I’m pleased we got that balance of experience back, we were always going to have the new blood and new ideas because of the number of councillors retiring, so there was no danger in not having the freshness, which is important.”

She said the rest of the day would be spent celebrating with friends and family, before kick-starting into the term.

“The next three weeks are going to be very busy internally,” she said.

“Meeting with the new councillors, understanding what areas that they’re interested in, what’s driven them to stand for council, what they think they would like to achieve, and making sure that I understand that.”

She was already talking about tweaking the committees to make sure there was an emphasis on climate change.

“Par ticularly the [climate change] adaption work that we are going to have to do as a province for the next 10 or 20 years, but I would like this council to be the council that sets up a good foundation for that,” she said.

“So I see the next three to four weeks being very much about getting the structures right, and building that team feeling because we do have a lot of new councillors coming in, and I want them to feel supported and integrated into the team.

“I talk about them as new councillors, but by the end of the year I don’t want to have a sense of new and old, I want to have a sense of a single team.”

She said she had given some thought to who she wanted as her deputy, but wanted to wait for the election results, and until she met with all councillors before making a final decision.

Meanwhile, she added the biggest challenge for this term will

Marlborough District Council, with funding support from Waka Kotahi, will extend its barge and water taxi subsidies for residents, workers and visitors to areas that were previously accessible by road through until August next year.

Former Mayor John Leggett said it is important Council continues to offer this assistance to those who have been impacted by the recent storm events, particularly as many roads around the region remain affected.

The per-passenger water taxi subsidy is for scheduled and pre-booked services.

Bookings can be made directly with water taxi service providers and also through the Marlborough i-SITE. The barge services subsidy is run in partnership with Johnsons’ Barge Service Limited in Havelock, Kenny Barging in Picton and d’Urville Crossings at French Pass with services into the Kenepuru and Queen Charlotte Sounds and from French Pass to d’Urville Island.

be bringing Marlborough’s roads back up to standard following the latest weather event. “It needs to be our major focus. The community that lives out there, and is living with uncertainty at the moment, needs it to be our major focus, and it will be.

“I am really well briefed on it, having been assets and service committee chair. I fully understand everything we need to achieve. I just now need to get that work in and follow that work through.”

She wanted to thank the Marlborough community for voting, and her husband, Graham Taylor.

“You can’t do this sort of thing on

your own, it takes a huge support around you, and I just feel like I’ve had that support at every level.”

Preliminary results based on about 90% of votes: Blenheim Ward: Jamie Arbuckle, David Croad, Deborah Dalliessi, Brian Dawson, Matt Flight, Thelma Sowman, A close battle between Cyril Dawson and Jonathon Rosene. Marlborough Sounds Ward: Barbara Faulls, Raylene Innes, Ben Minehan.

Wairau-Awatere Ward: Scott Adams, Gerald Hope,and another close battle between Mike Insley and Sally Arbuckle for the final seat. Maori Ward Allanah Burgess.

Over 200kms of road reopened throughout Marlborough Over 200km of road throughout Marlborough was reopened for public access last week after being severely damaged during recent storm events.

Ronga Road through to the last 3km of the Croisilles-French Pass Road, Elaine Bay Road and the Okiwi Bay township roads all reopened to public access today. This follows the opening of the full length of Awatere Valley Road on Tuesday, October 4.

Marlborough Roads Manager, Steve Murrin, says the reopening of 213km of road across the province is a huge milestone in the recovery effort and it’s fantastic to restore access before the start of the busy tourist and farming seasons.

Public access on Queen Charlotte Drive also continues to increase, with access extended to between Havelock and Momorangi Bay.

Facebook Auction for Cora

By Chris Valli

Two Blenheim people involved in the veterinary industry are utilising social media as a platform to help a friend who is fighting for her life.

Cora McConnell featured in the Sun Newspaper on September 21 for personalised ‘ground breaking alternative therapy treatment’ to fight ovarian cancer. Cora will be based in Cologne, Germany where she will be for the next three months with three rounds of treatment.

IOZK Immunotherapy treatment will mobilize Cora’s own immune response which W h e n o n ly t h e b e s t W i l l d o !

ultimately will enable it to fight against the growth of the cancerous tumours.

Katherine Bowen, Practice Manager of Vet Marlborough and Vetpak’s Jason Gray (a veterinary supplies company) have known one another socially and professionally for many years.

The duo wanted to show their support for Cora and have come up with a silent auction on Facebook with the group called ‘Cora McConnell-fighting for life fundraiser.’

Jason says his relationship with Cora came about through Cora’s previous employment in the veterinary industry.

“Personally, I really have only got to know Cora since I started calling on Vets on Alabama five, six years ago as a client. Two years ago, my wife and I went through our own cancer challenge. Cora was extremely supportive. When she opened up to what she was going through, I thought if I could support her in any way I’d like to try. Like most people, the intention was there but I failed to act.”

Jason says Katherine and himself discussed Cora’s plight after seeing her Give a Little page and reading the story in the Sun Newspaper.

Jason says they have been sourcing products from veterinary supply companies that have been working with Cora.

“They have donated products that can be auctioned off. This is a progressive auction.

We keep posting new auctions every couple of days or as available. Each auction will run for 10 days. This keeps it fresh and also gives us time to secure more products.

Jason says they have the backing from approximately six - 10 companies with more coming aboard all the time.

Cora’s Give a little page is currently at

Blenheim's Cora McConnell in Cologne, Germany where she is receiving three rounds of IOZK Immunotherapy treatment for her ovarian cancer. A Facebook auction group called ‘Cora McConnell-fighting for life fundraiser' has been set up by Blenheim friends Jason Gray and Katherine Bowen, practice manager of Vet Marlborough.

$29,000. Her treatment costs $150,000.

“After a few technical hitches and the help of young humans, we are underway now.

“Get on, bid and don’t forget to share.

“The more people who see, the better the success.

“We want to get her to it (treatment goal and costs).”

Jason says the reason behind the auction and fundraiser is simple.

“Cora’s been dealt a tough hand and this year has been especially tough, losing her mum as well.

If we can contribute to make life a tiny bit better for Cora, Euan and Niamh (husband and daughter) then we’ve succeeded.”

KORU NUTRITION In our world today, it is normal to be hand sanitizing every time you enter a store.

These sanitizers clean away the bacteria but for some, it can be harsh on their skin. For Craig, being a sales representative, visiting multiple stores every day, this became a frequent routine and a nuisance - but not in the way you might think.

Craig’s company supplied sanitizer for all their employees. This was great until Craig found that not only was it irritating the skin on his hands but it was causing irritation to the skin on his face!

“Being a person who has to go into stores and sell, having red and flaky skin on your face isn’t great for your sales targets. I didn’t like to look at it and I’m sure my clients didn’t either. One day I overheard a client talking about my face; I knew I needed to do something.”

Leisure marching hits town On Saturday 15th October the 28th South Island Leisure Marching Day 2022 will be held at the Stadium 2000 in Blenheim.

Hosting the event are the two Marlborough teams, Funseekers Leisure Marchers coached by Kaylene Hollard, and Kon Tiki Leisure Marchers coached by Vicki Stuart.

Leisure marching is an ever growing sport in New Zealand with well over 100 teams from Northland to Bluff and everywhere in between.

Teams consist of lots of older ex marchers and total newbies - those who have never marched before, but saw it somewhere and thought that would be just the thing for them.

The motto of leisure marching is the three F’s, friendship, fitness and fun, with most members are over 40 and lots of ladies still marching well into their 80’s.

Teams do all sorts of fundraising, and heaps of it, to pay for uniforms, travel and accommodation and of course entry fees to each event.

Each year the South Island event is hosted in a different area, with the North Island doing the same.

The National Leisure Marching Days are held in March each year and alternate between the Islands. Wellington will be hosting the 2023 National Leisure Marching Day and Invercargill, 2024.

There is always over 80 teams attending this event, which is held over two days.

The event in Blenheim has attracted 31 teams, with over 330 ladies attending.

The teams will assemble at 9.30am for the March Past and official opening with the Salute being taken this year by our ex Mayor Liz Davidson, who has been a great enthusiast of our sport.

The displays will start at 10.30am with Funseekers marching first, followed by Kon Tiki, then the other teams in the order

The displays have a time limit of five minutes, and most teams these days do not use a whistle, so that keeps everyone’s brain working having to memorise approximately 600 steps of movements.

The marching should finish around 3pm to 3.30pm.

In the dark Dear Editor On returning to Blenheim after being away for some time I decided to surprise some friends at their local tavern. When entering the tavern, it felt like I had boarded the Mary Celeste, areas closed off, activities removed, but what was most disheart-

ening, the lack of customers.

Speaking to my friends later, they mentioned how frustrated they were becoming, watching the tavern they had used for many years slowly losing its identity.

Losing this tavern, that’s been a centre of activity for this part of town for many

years would be a shame, and I do hope it will not come to that, personally though I feel my friends and other patrons deserve to know which direction the tavern is heading in the near future?

Regards Mr Hope

Keeping their word Dear Ed, Congratulations to all the new councillors and the mayor.

Now is the time to honour your pledges.

Firstly, the one about reducing spending.

Let’s start with NO FREE LUNCHES, so when a meeting runs over lunch time - and they frequently do - demand to go out and buy your own lunch, not a council paid one.

Secondly, you will be given some

good quality A4 binders filled with useful info.

Please keep using this first set and don’t accept subsequent sets, but only refill. Remember, small savings add up to BIG ones.

Thirdly, you will be given a new iphone and ipad, which the council hierarchy will want to frequently replace.

Please decline these unnecessary updates.

Fourthly, constantly challenge

every decision of the CEO who will tell you something is vital. It is not and it’s up to you, as our representative, to keep costs down. Our rates have been increasing at +5%/annum which equates to a 50% rise in 8 years or with rate reviews in just six years.

That is 100% in just 12 years.

As the majority of ratepayers are retirees, we cannot afford such increases.

Thank you Chris Davies

Reminds me of an agony column in a Hawaiian paper on cats. A lady wrote ‘that she saw that cat in her garden again, so she went and got her gun and shot the damn thing dead’.

The comment was that her frustration was understood, but perhaps she should not have done what she did.

I do not own a gun!

Marlborough District Council election results

Prep work for new ferry terminal underway ‘Enabling works’ to get the Waitohi Picton ferry terminal site ready for main construction early next year is underway.

By 2025 we will have a brand new ferry terminal and the first of two hybrid-electric Interislander ferries will be in service.

Local construction company CMT is on site, moving the mechanical rail turntable to its new home behind the private vehicle check-in area.

A temporary terminal building is going into the spot currently used for long term car parking. Work is also starting to relocate the car rental kiosks to the lower car park beside the Edwin Fox Museum.

These early works are pretty low key on excavation – the temporary terminal is prefab so doesn’t involve piling. The deck and slab for the car rental kiosks involves ‘augering’ or screwing in wooden piles so there will be noise and vibration specialists on site as that gets underway, just to be sure it doesn’t create excessive noise or vibration.

Other work coming up involves retaining walls on Auckland Street where the Dublin Street overbridge will go and increasing capacity for the Waitohi Culvert.

Nadine Taylor has been elected as the new Mayor of Marlborough.

Dublin Street works Work to relocate underground services on Dublin Street between the intersections of Devon, Market and Auckland Streets is underway so that early next year work can begin on the Dublin Street overbridge.

This bridge will greatly help the flow of traffic through the southern part of Waitohi Picton, and facilitate a better connection through to the town centre. It includes a shared path to enable walking and cycling connections between the town centre and the Queen Charlotte Drive intersection.

Parts of Dublin Street will need to be closed between now and 23 December.

Sections will be opened to motorists whenever possible. The project team is mindful of busy times, particularly when cruise ships are in town and will do what they can to work around these. Pedestrian access will remain open if possible, but this won’t be confirmed until more is known about the position of the underground services.

If have any questions please email: info@pictonferryprecinct.co.nz or visit: www.irex.co.nz

Wheelie bin consultation - calculating the cost of waste Marlburians are encouraged to calculate the cost of how they deal with their rubbish and recycling before the upcoming consultation on the introduction of wheelie bins.

Council’s Solid Waste Manager, Alec McNeil says the data gathered from the online waste calculator tool provides people with a reference point when comparing their current costs to proposed costs.

“Marlburians might be surprised at the amount of money they spend each year on recycling and waste disposal,” he said.

The calculator works out costs associated with fees paid, time involved and distance travelled in relation to people’s recycling and rubbish.

Once you have completed the questionnaire you will be sent the results

Reaping the benefits of singing and music The name Robin Randall and music has been synonymous with choir students of Marlborough Girls’ and recently Marlborough Boys’ College for a number of years. Journalist Chris Valli caught up with the ‘choir guru’ who began his teaching career at MGC in 1997 and explains the love of what he does and the benefits of togetherness, collaboration and singing.

The generic definition of a teacher is one who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtues inside and outside of the classroom. In effect, one who has strong relationships with students.

Relationships take time of course. However, in the case of Marlborough’s Robin Randall, the knowledge and competencies he has passed on to music and choir students in the region have been significant to say the least.

Often in a school choir students might learn how to use and implement proper vocal technique, music terminology, general music theory or indeed confidence in performing.

Dunedin born and bred Robin Randall attended Kings High School in his secondary years. However, the south Dunedin school didn’t provide the then 15-year old, much in the way of stimulation.

“By the time I was 15 I was dissatisfied with school. I left school with no qualification whatsoever,” he reflects. “At that time you could pretty much walk out of school and into a pretty decent job.”

As an 18 year old, he joined the New Zealand Army and played brass band tunes to villagers in Singapore and Malaysia, then taught himself guitar to entertain in the officers’ mess back at base.

His first teaching role was at Marlborough Girls’ College in 1997. So how exactly did the music curriculum and the subsequent passion evolve?

“When I left the army band I wanted to become an itinerant music teacher teaching instrumental music in high schools. I soon discovered it was a closed shop and those in the profession were not in a hurry to leave any time soon.

“That was the stimulus to go to (Christchurch) teachers college and get an actual teaching qualification. When I was at school music played a big part of my life. I started playing a brass instrument when I was about eight. My whole family was musical whether that was his mother and older sister who both played piano and my Dad’s involvement in brass

bands and older brothers playing guitar and saxophone also.”

Robin says the best way to get any students to learn is through doing and in this case, playing the instruments.

“I built my music programme through performing and practical music. Incorporating theory was or is important but it wasn’t the type of class where you sit in your seat for an hour kind of thing. Knowing from my own schooling experience, there is nothing that is going to turn kids off more than sitting and writing down theory.”

His own musical influences were developed through his Dad who always encouraged but never pushed him, allowing Robin to ‘find his way’ as he discovered various brass instruments.

“If I needed a tutor he would find one for me and if I went on a band camp both Dad and Mum did what they did financially to get me there. As I got more proficient on trumpet the likes of Miles Davis and (American jazz trumpeter and vocalist) Chesney ‘Chet’ Baker was two especially that I really looked up to.

The other was (Canadian) Maynard Ferguson, I loved listening to him.”

After 25 years at Marlborough Girls’ College, the opportunity to fulfill a role as Director of Performance Music at Marlborough Boys’ College was too good to pass by.

The 63-year-old has longed for such an opportunity from the outset of his teaching vocation.

“To think that it’s come to fruition now in a regional town like Blenheim is unbelievable really. Those sorts of roles are usually only found in the big cities.”

The role includes overseeing performance and teaching various instrumental groups such as brass and or the jazz and funk bands along with giving invaluable insights to the boys’ choir aptly named No Girls Aloud.

“Who knows what is around the corner? I’d love to re-establish the Marlborough Boys’ College stage band but we need to build up our stocks of saxophone players at the moment which are few and far between. The numbers

SINGING FROM THE SAME SONG SHEET: Marlborough Girls’ College ‘Ovation’ Choir competed at the Nelson/ Marlborough Big Sing regional competition in Nelson back in June. The choir was successful in winning both categories it was entered in. Excellence for Choral Art Music and Excellence for Directors Choice. The songs were, The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre and Baba Yetu, (Swahili prayer), respectively.

for students taking music is really encouraging including three rock bands that Barbara (Song music teacher) got started with. We really drive it to keep it going and keep it at the forefront.”

Robin says the music curriculum for all schools in Marlborough requires people who are passionate about what they do.

“It’s all very well learning music but if you are not practising or doing it for a purpose or reason, then what’s the point? The recent MBC concert at the ASB Theatre which was a great success is a good example of this.”

Robin was nominated by his students in 2015 for an inspiring teacher award. The recognition he admits, albeit humbling, reiterated to him that what he was doing was working with his students wanting to pursue and achieve in music as a possible pathway after the college years.

His choral and musical highlights have included taking students to perform and showcase in Hawaii, Japan and Australia for various festivals and competitions.

“There is no better education for young people than to get overseas and see what is going on all around the world. The difference in their growth and maturity was incredible.”

Other highlights that stand out were getting choirs through to the ‘Big Sing’ finales. The Big Sing is a highly successful, national group-singing competition for secondary school students. Secondary Schools’ Choral Festivals began in 1988 as a development of the vocal section of the Westpac Schools’ Chamber Music Contest.

Past choir members include soprano Olivia Sheat, who received the national Kapiti Chorale Award in Vocal Performance for 2014-2015, and mezzo soprano Rachelle Pike, who was one of the step-sisters in New Zealand Opera’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella) in 2015.

“It’s always very satisfying to see students on the national stage representing their school.

Their drive to succeed is what I enjoy about teaching.”

More than a walk in the park

By Chris Valli

Parkrun is the name, but you don’t have to run or be a runner to get involved in this free weekly five kilometre event which takes place at 8am every Saturday near the amphitheatre on Taylor River.

While walkers have always been welcome and celebrated at the 39 Parkruns around New Zealand each Saturday, the month of October will be dedicated to encouraging even more people to walk. Thousands of people who complete the Parkruns do so as walkers, and the organisation is keen to significantly increase this number.

The campaign will see Parkrun change its logo to ‘Parkwalk’ for the month of October, with bright pink branding designed to capture the attention — and the imagination — of people who might not think that Parkrun is for them.

Blenheim parkrun volunteer event directors Phil Muir and Carey Dickason said “Parkruns are social events where there is no time limit and people of all ages and abilities take part, including people pushing prams or with their dog on a short handheld lead. It’s all about getting involved in a way that is fun and comfortable for you.

“Walking is a great way of soaking up the Parkrun atmosphere and chatting with people while being active. It’s one of the best entry points into Parkrun, especially for those who may be taking their first steps towards healthier and happier lifestyles.

Walking at Parkrun is a great way to meet new people too, or you can walk with your family or friendship group.

“One of the great things about Parkrun is that you can never come last. Each week we have people who volunteer as tail walkers, who provide support and encouragement

A tail walker volunteer with Bill Hunter following behind.

for walkers and are the last people to finish.”

In addition to the tail walkers, a new volunteer role of ‘parkwalker’ is being introduced from the first Saturday in October. These volunteers will wear a blue vest labelled ‘parkwalker’, and their role will be to mix with other walkers and have a chat during the walk.

Thousands of people at Parkrun take more than an hour to complete the event. In fact, the average finish time at New Zealand Parkruns is getting slower all the time — a statistic the organisation is incredibly proud of because it shows that Parkrun now appeals to a broader range of people.

Registration is free at www.parkrun. co.nz/register For further information please contact Carey or another member of the team by emailing: blenheim@parkrun.com

Call for Christmas Parade Floats

By Chris Valli

Pure Events Marlborough is excited to be bringing Christmas cheer to Blenheim on Saturday, December 3 with the Blenheim Christmas Parade.

However, they need your help.

Get your group, club, and business together to help build a float and dress a vehicle up or just enter yourselves as a walking group. Like Kate Horrey and the collaborative team effort from Triton Hearing and Barnados.

Kate works part time for both Barnardos and Triton Hearing.

“I am combining my roles in a joint project to help the Barnardos Blenheim team get a walking float in the upcoming Christmas parade.”

Kate says Triton Hearing has a community day each year to devote to something completely non-hearing related and to ‘give back’.

“Triton Hearing is delighted to be involved in this great community project – it’s a fun and creative way for us to give back to the community” said Karen Adams, Clinic Manager, Triton Hearing Blenheim.

Meanwhile, the Barnardos team

have had a long held dream of having a Thomas the Tank Engine themed walking float with the design made from mainly recycled materials.

The team at Barnardos are passionate about the upcoming Christmas parade and couldn’t wait to get started on creating a very special Christmas Thomas the Tank Engine themed walking float.

They enlisted the help of Blenheim Triton Hearing staff who chose to donate their annual community work day on October 6 to the good cause.

Karen Savage, a Triton Hearing Health Specialist, has particular creative talents which the Barnardos team were delighted to harness.

In record time she designed and crafted five Thomas themed engines which her combined band of helpers (adults and children) painted bright colours.

Erin Sheehan, Service Manager for Barnardos Nelson and Marlborough came over from Whakatū to help on the day with her two children.

“It was so much fun. We encourage all community groups to get involved in the Christmas Parade this year. Thank you so much to

the wonderful Triton Hearing team and Resene Paints for making our dream of a walking float become reality”.

“The Barnardos team were particularly pleased to work on Bruno the Brake Car, a bright red new member of the Tank Engine family and its first character on the Autism Spectrum.” Barnardos works with many families including those with children who experience different ways of perceiving the world.

Thomas the Tank Engine, Percy the Small Engine, Bruno the Brake Car, along with other train friends, will be able to be spotted chugging along in the upcoming parade.

The parade will feature a pre-parade concert at 2.30pm following on from the Blenheim Lions Mistletoe Market to keep all the kids entertained while they line up their fabulous variety of Christmas themed floats.

The parade will start from Blenheim School at 3.30pm.

that didn’t have a plan, and as a result have been involved in lengthy expensive legal disputes or problems, where the person who didn’t plan had said they would leave it to the family to sort. As you may decide to future proof your home to be accessible or close to facilities for later in life, so too we should all plan for legal issues later in life. The curve ball of a death or other family tragedy or a dispute can be planned for to hopefully avoid the common pitfalls following such tragedies.

A plan for issues around capacity, personal care and property management could be addressed with well thought out enduring powers of attorney, possibly advance directives, or possibly trusts, and discussions with family or close friends.

A plan for relationships later in life, and complications over occupying family homes, residential care applications and financing for care could be addressed with contracting out agreements, and updated wills.

Multi-generational living could be assisted with property sharing agreements, wills and enduring powers of attorney.

Each person’s circumstances are different, and seniors should contact a trusted professional to talk through their potential issues, and put in place a senior living plan. But remember like all good plans there should also be a review and reset of your senior living plan from time to time.

Tramping Club celebrates 90 years

By Chris Valli

The Marlborough Tramping Club will celebrate 90 years in November with a walk up Blenheim’s Mount Vernon.

On Sunday November 13 following the walk there will be a lunch at the Vintage Car Club, Brayshaw Park.

The club was formed in May, 1932 where 17 foundation members came together for the inaugural meeting. The first tramp was to Mt Dobson, with other early outings being to Mt Robertson, The Ned, Mount Riley and the Waikakaho Saddle, all still familiar destinations today.

Spokesperson Mary Jobberns says Mt Vernon was the first trip that allowed the ladies to attend in November 1932.

At the first general meeting it was decided not to admit women, and it was to take until November of that year for them to be finally accepted, albeit only then on a split vote.

The club was in recess from 1937 until it was reformed in 1949.

Tramps at that time were graded either strenuous or less strenuous with eligibility for the former needing nomination by the committee. The decision on the weather was left to the president and secretary.

Transport in those days was often by Deluxe Rea Coach, driven at times on fortnightly outings by the Club Captain.

Mid-week tramps commenced in 1989 and the club organised the first Top of the South Combined Tramping Clubs Camp at Pelorus in 1992.

Mary says some of their current members

Their 2022 counterparts on Mt Vernon last month.

have been in the club since the 1960s and although they don’t hit the hills now they love a social event and are always willing to share their wealth of knowledge.

The 2023 calendar will reflect the changes over the years as the club has been able to

source slides from the 1930s and 1950s, the 1990s plus the latest digital photos.

“Over the years we have been involved in many volunteer events but most recently we have been attacking the serious wilding pine invasion in Marlborough,” says Mary.

WHY THE MARVEL HEALTH SCREENING IS AN IDEAL MOT FOR OVER 60S

AS

we grow older, especially over the age of 60, specific health problems may become

prevalent.

Getting to the root cause of any disease, especially chronic diseases, requires examining the entire body since all organs and systems are interconnected and function as a whole.

To illustrate, chronic diseases of the digestive system may not necessarily arise from the stomach and intestines. They may originate from damages in the immune system that promote the growth of microbes which in turn cause inflammation and diseases of the gut. Also, atherosclerosis which refers to narrowing of arteries can restrict blood flow to the stomach and intestines and cause gut problems.

And then, there are environmental factors.

Sensitivity to natural foods and food additives in processed foods can cause digestive

symptoms such as chronic stomach pain, bloating, or diarrhoea. Nutrients play a crucial role in keeping our systems healthy and preventing diseases. Magnesium deficiency is a common cause of chronic constipation.

It is not always the case that a symptom will originate from an associating organ or system of the body.

The Marvel Health Scan is unique. It examines the entire body to pinpoint the hidden causes of health problems. The Brain, Heart, Lungs, Stomach, Intestines, Liver, Kidneys, and other organs in the body are inspected in detail.

The scan searches the body for likely diseases present and possible underlying causes. It can identify microbes, nutrient deficiencies, food allergens and environmental contaminants.

After the scan, Marvel Health international doctors review the reports and can recommend science-based natural therapies and lifestyle changes to encourage the body›s healing processes.

txt talk with The Sun Well done walnut farm

Use it or lose it

Walnut Farm David St. Thank you for the open day for the kids to come and enjoy all the animals it was an amazing day out. Your time and effort was enjoyed by all. The smiles that you had put on the little ones faces said it all. So thank you.

If Countdown Redwoodtown is as bad as all these people writing to the Sun paper are saying why not close it down then, just like the post shop did when all the customers used to complain about that. Obviously you don’t need a supermarket or a post shop in Redwoodtown! Easy sorted.

BMW Car

English also please

Perhaps reading road code again will enlighten you to realise it’s sort of polite to stop at yellow marked pedestrian crossing. Mind you if you had been doing 30km in Seymour Street you would have time to stop. Instead of worrying lady if you are late for hair appointment, how about leaving home a bit earlier. Will save all the drama everyone has to listen from you if you knock someone over.

Went to have lunch at the Jolly Rodger, noticed the street name is in Maori now.

Don’t have a problem with that but could the English name be put underneath please.

Murder This govt is knowingly killing a young qualified, educated man, with cystic fibrosis, life curable, denying one drug. Instead spending so far $16 million on local and overseas recruitment sham for just one 3 waters job, which does not exist and is already a preselected co-governance tribal appointment. This is criminal and repugnant on a tiny island group of few! Guilt proven. Be kind-yeah right!

Lower the fees Criminal fee of $65.87 per cubic meter for grass clippings,2.5 catcher fulls $7.58.

New guy in training at exit, paid it under protest as waited 10 minutes for truck before me to process a charge that would of had 3 figures.

First decision of new mayor and councillors.

Suggestion, LOWER THE FEES, encourage more people to do the right thing.

Wow for Wairau Travellers to Nelson will be needing more coffee stops, E car charging, meals, fuel, toilet breaks-with SH6 shut even up to and over xmas-to predict earlier would be a ‘Transmission Gully’ NZTA media fax paux. Try the food, the fishing-why rush folks. Embrace a safe paradise.

Thank you Congratulations to the Mayor and 2022 Councillors from Ni - Aniva Fruean. And thank you to the people that voted for me. Keep voting for me - see you again.

Keep Picton Mr Picton may have done some bad things in his time but l think slaughter and cannibalism are far worse, don’t you?

Re renaming Picton I applaud Tony Orman for his comments. You are spot on. But no doubt this government will allow it.

Waste of money Rate payers money. If you want to see how it’s wasted go to Nelson St and watch the CWT workers. They may even be there until the end of the month if not Christmas. Council would you please publish the costing. This is why people don’t vote.

Amazing service Amazing service. James Tree Surgeons, after attempting to take out a medium size tree became too difficult, called the company and same day very obliging man came and removed it, thank you Steve great service.

Walkway not cycleway

Cashless society not far

Why is it a minority of cyclists still believe Taylor walkway was put in for them. I have heard they are doing time trials now. Please sort it out council. Put them back on the road.

Why does a Dr’s surgery not give change, instead gives you a credit if you don’t use a card, you’re getting interest off that, especially if you don’t go to doctor’s often.

Talk of the week Great job Thank you to the person who arranged the trimming of Omaka Landing trees on New Renwick Road.

Looks real tidy now.

Town planning?

Congestion. Yes Marlborough roads are addressing traffic problems by putting Boys’ College also onto Nelson St. NO town planning what so ever, ten years remember these town planners names, can’t see into the future .

Guys, that’s the definition of town planning.

Fair go The New Zealand Rugby Union asked us to support the Women’s world cup. What did they do? Give the TV rights to Spark. They have already lost cricket heaps of supporters. The is happening to rugby.

Why don’t hungry Spark stick to making their multi millions from cell phones and other devices and leave our sport alone? Have stopped following cricket and rugby is going the same way. We can’t afford spark.

Interesting Interesting segment on Fair Go about a lot of postboxes throughout the country not getting cleared regularly. No wonder mail can take forever or not turn up at all. Poor from NZ Post considering their massive profits.

Dump fees Having recently lived in Queensland, I note their dump charges are free for households, seems sensible?

Cool cats chat Loving the clips on facebook posted in the cool cats chat from our very own local Superheroes.

Learning and laughing every week with Fist Puncher and Foot Kicker, informative but entertaining, keep up the good work guys!

Private property Cars. Regarding the comments about the cars etc on private property on way to Picton. It is private property and what they have on it is nobody’s business. All those complaining what if you got told you weren’t allowed things on your property as some around town are an eyesore also. So best look in own backyard first.

Not so live So disappointed. All set up to enjoy watching womans rugby world cup to find its not live broadcasts. How stupid is that for our countries game. Rest of the world must think we are a joke.

Great event poor venue Feast Marlborough: Well done to all the vendors, amazing food and drinks. SUCH a shame about the venue, less atmosphere than the car boot market.

gardening this week Plant’s immunity: By Wally Richards Plants, just like ourselves, have built in protection against diseases though their immunity systems.

We build up our immunity naturally over the years by surviving disease attacks and by having a healthy nutritionally rich diet.

That is not to say that we are immune to disease attacks but under normal situations we can fend off most health problems when we have very good health.

If we get into stress then our metabolism does not have the same stamina and we catch a cold or worse.

It is said the leading cause of heart disease and cancer is stress. I think its the stress that is the straw that breaks the camels back, after unhealthy living and insufficient nutrient rich food.

The same applies to plants, place them into stress and they will more likely catch a disease.

I have written a lot in the past on how to build the health of plants by building the health of the soil; having soil that is rich in humus, minerals, earth worms and soil life.

Even when we have the best soil on earth, plants can still catch a cold when they are placed into stress and our current spring weather is very stressful to our plants and to us keen gardeners.

Chilly winds, too wet, too dry, only the occasional nice day does not make for great gardening and our plants don’t do so well either.

We can however increase the immune systems of plants by a few monthly sprays of Perkfection Supa for roses and other plants.

The active ingredient of Perkfection is ‘Phosphite ion’ or Phosphonic Acid. (Potassium ions are also present).

Perkfection is very safe to handle and spray and when used on food crops there is no withholding period other than your normal washing of produce before eating.

Perkfection is used extensively by commercial growers of produce and fruit as its safe, effective, in prevention and control while not restrictive on exports of produce.

We have suggested Perkfection Supa for Roses and Other Plants as an alternative to more toxic sprays, for the assistance in recovery from/ or prevention of, the following

problems: Black spot, Downy Mildew, Phytophthora Root rot, botrytis, Canker, heart rot, damping off, crown rot, leaf blight, silver leaf, late blight, collar rot, pink rot, brown rot, Armillaria, and gummy stem rot.

Now that’s a big list of common plant diseases which means that many of your disease related problems can be overcome with applications of this product.

Besides using Perkfection over your roses for the likes of Black spot and Downy mildew you can also use it as a spray over all your fruiting plants and trees including your strawberries.

It can be used also over your potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, cubits (cucumbers etc) lawns, onions, passion fruit, Cauliflowers, cybidium orchids and ornamental plants and vines.. In fact there is no where you cannot use Perkfection to advantage.

Being ‘Synthetic Organic Phosphates’ what you are doing, is placing this valuable material, onto the foliage of your plants, where it is very readily absorbed and transferred through the whole of the plant.

This fortifies the plant’s cells, increases the plant’s immune system and makes your plants less susceptible to invading pathogens.

There is however a down side, as with any good thing, you can use too much and the recommendation

is to use Perkfection at 4 ml per litre of spray once a month for about 6 times in a season.

(Note a season is the normal period of time for that crop or plant.

Roses are from Spring till Autumn.

Most annuals 5-6 months.)

The reason is that, you can over load your plant with organic phosphates causing a clogging of the cells and halting growth until the system clears.

If a plant has a problem spray the first month with Perkfection at 7 mls per litre.

For plants you wish to fortify use at 4ml per litre for 2 to 3 months.

Prevention is better than cure and by spraying your plants in the spring you give the greatest protection to leaves and fruit, autumn spray will give greatest protection to roots and tubers.

I have suggested that on the 1st of the month to spray your roses and other preferred plants with Perkfection, MBL (Magic Botanic Liquid) and Mycorrcin. Then 14 days later (15th) spray with Mycorrcin and MBL. What we are doing is boosting the plant’s immune system, supplying a large range of minerals and elements, feeding the beneficial microbes to increase their populations which also work to eliminate diseases.

If insects problems occur then include Wallys Super Pyrethrum as it is a quick knock down control.

sports talk With Jacob Page

Black Ferns prove a point despite stage-fright The Black Ferns saved their own blushes on Saturday night, overcoming stage fright at a packed Eden Park to start their World Cup campaign with a 41-17 win over Australia.

The scoreline flattered the women in black, who trailed 17-0 after 30 minutes and looked completely shocked to be playing in a stadium with 40,000 people in it.

Eventually, they got things right and out-muscled Australia, who

must have thought their first win over the Black Ferns was going to come on the biggest stage possible.

The Black Ferns have been passed in the world ranking by France and England and with their off-field issues over the past 12 months, a semifinal finish would probably be considered an acceptable outcome to many fans.

Now, it wasn’t all bad, wingers Ruby Tui and Portia Woodman showed they were genuinely world

class and Amy du Plessis was a star in the midfield.

However, one of New Zealand’s brightest rugby minds, Wayne Smith, has a job on his hands turning this team into a contender.

The Black Ferns must be flag bearers for gender parity in sport.

A strong performance on home soil will do a lot to improve the game for girls and women in the years ahead.

The first 30 minutes of that

trans-Tasman encounter did little to help that cause but the final 50 minutes had redemption elements in it.

Questions have to be asked about whether the hosts can match the physicality in the forwards needed to make the European heavyweights but perhaps with a home crowd in their corner.

Having live games on Spark Sport (replays on TV 3) does the tournament no favours in the early going.

Spark Sport isn’t a big enough platform for this emerging tournament.

With the cricket returning early this summer, I’m happy to pay the $24.95 a month for Spark Sport but I doubt many, especially the older generations, feel the same way.

Entertainment will be the key to drawing in more eyeballs to womens rugby and the opening weekend of the tournament was a great start.

Marlborough’s flag high at table tennis championships Marlborough players represented the region with pride at the New Zealand Table Tennis Champs in Auckland at the weekend.

Alex Kennedy, Nathan Watson and Matthias Kronert all won medals.

Seeded second, Alex and Matthias won the C Grade Men’s Doubles final in straight sets against the third seeds, Eric Deng and Joshua Capper from Counties Manukau.

They had earlier won a five set match to advance to the final.

Alex was seeded 14th in the C Grade and played above his seeding to reach the semi-final of the C Grade Men’s Singles losing to the eventual winner, North Shore’s Conrad Ang and gained a bronze medal in the process.

Nathan playing in the B Grade combined with Alex for a bronze medal finish in the Men’s Doubles where they lost to the eventual winners.

Spokesperson Alex Nathan says this was a great effort as they were unseeded.

Earlier in the week, the Marlborough Men’s Team finished third in the C Grade. They finished top of their pool following wins against North Shore 3, Auckland 5 and

Waitemata 2. In post section play, they lost to Auckland 7 and just missed out on a bronze medal, going down 4-3 to North Shore 3.

An indication of the strength of the competition was that Auckland had 9 teams in A Grade-E Grade.

Nathan won 6 singles from 8, with Alex gaining 6 wins from 10.

Matthias and Michael Kamson also gained wins for the team. Nathan and Alex were undefeated in their five doubles matches. Alex finished the week with 10 out of 11 doubles wins.

Meanwhile, Drew Materoa, Oliver Phipps and Harry Speakman played for the Marlborough Boys’ Under-15 team in the B Grade.

Canterbury and Otago were the only other South Island Teams in the Junior Events.

The boys were up early as they took on a strong Counties Manukau (2) team in their debut match. They went down 6-1, as they brushed off some first match nerves, but stayed close in sets until Ollie Phipps found his feet in his second singles match playing with a great range of placed shots and backhand winners to secure a point 8-11 11-5 11-4 11-7 against James Yang. Drew had a close tussle with the number one player Benhao Xie going down 12-10 11-13 6-11 12-14.

Marlborough Men’s Team in Auckland. L-R Alex Boys' Under-15 Marlborough Team with coaches. L-R Kennedy, Matthias Kronert, Nathan Watson, Michael Alex Kennedy (coach), Harry Speakman, Oliver Phipps, Kamson.

Drew Materoa, Nathan Watson (coach).

Going into their second team match against Auckland (3) the boys gained valuable lessons and experience when they came up against strong players in all of their matches with the result being 7-0 to Auckland. This spurred the boys on to finish strongly for the day as they went straight into their last team match against Waikato (2).

Alex says the juniors went above and beyond and showed their skills and mental toughness to take the fixture 5-2.

“Drew and Ollie kicked proceedings off with two four set victories to get off to a positive start playing very smart and consistent when the sets got tight with some impressive serving. Harry showed promise of things to come as he grabbed a game from his opponent.

“The combination of Drew and Ollie recovered from a game down to storm back and take the doubles 3-1 before Drew secured the team win in his second singles with the same scoreline. The match of

the day came from young Harry Speakman playing in his first junior nationals as an under 13 player erasing a huge lead from his opponent 9-3, and two games to one down. He played out of his skin to race back and take the set 13-11 and fifth game 11-8 with some strong forehand and backhand topspin winners.”

Alex says Ollie finished with a third singles win of the day beating Jayden Forshaw 11-9 11-6 9-11 11-3 to seal the win convincingly.
