By Adam Poulopoulos Residents and staff at the Lakewood/Wairakau Home

and Hospital were given less than a week to pack their bags after the rest home went into receivership.

The facility, on Lakings Road, was recently liquidated, and the 11 residents and 24 staff were notified of the development on Tuesday afternoon.

The residents have until later today to be moved out, while staff are now looking for new jobs.

Patients could have MRI scans in Wairau Hospital early next year after the Pacific Radiology Group and Nelson Marlborough District Health Board reached agreement to site the new MRI on the hospital site.

The agreement calls for a portable building to be attached to the Radiology Department where private and public patients will have access to MRI scans. The new MRI service is expected to be operational in February 2015.

The scanner will be operated by PRG, and the NMDHB will have four half-day sessions per week out of 10 sessions. This increases the MRI capacity of the district by 80 per cent as the DHB has five sessions per week in Nelson Hospital’s MRI.

NMDHB chief executive Chris Fleming said the DHB and Pacific Radiology are working together to establish the MRI service in Marlborough.

“I’m pleased we are able to bring an MRI service to Blenheim and have it located on the hospital site as this will benefit Marlborough people by offering MRI scans close to home.”

He said this public/private partnership will relieve the growing backlog and reduce wait times for MRI scans.

By Celeste LodewykKaikoura Electorate MP Stuart Smith

delivered his maiden speech in Parliament on Wednesday.

He began by acknowledging his prede-cessors, Tom Shand, Sir Douglas Kidd, Linda Scott and Colin King, and thanked his campaign chairman Tim Leslie for his hard work and ‘wise counsel’.

He went on to describe his position as a first time candidate as a ‘privilege’.

“I find it truly humbling that I was elected with a record majority, this is something I will never take for granted.”

He shared his life’s journey, being born on a Mid Canterbury sheep farm just south of Methven, close to Mt Hutt with fond memories of the family home.

“Dad worked his way into the farm through shearing, and taught my brothers and I that we could have anything in life we wanted, as long as we worked hard for it.

“Those values of working hard and reaping

the rewards of your endeavours are very dear to me and align perfectly to those of the National Party.

“That is why I am so proud and privileged to stand here today as a National Member of Parliament,” he said.

He spoke of the issues facing NZ export businesses, foreign investment’s role in the wine industry, sustainable growth and his part in the National Party Bluegreens.

During Stuart’s first term, he plans to be advocating for the replacement of the last remaining one-lane bridge on Highway One at the Hurunui River.

“A coastal feeder service out of Picton is also long overdue and something I have been advocating for some time now.

“There are significant savings to be made for exporters from such a service, and with the shipping industry moving to a hub and spoke model, the time is right. I will be working alongside Port Marlborough and the Marlborough District Council to make this a reality,” he said.

He welcomed the consultation into the fu-ture of the Marlborough Colleges and closed his speech by announcing plans to introduce a bill to create a recreational fishing park in the Marlborough Sounds.

Continued from page 1A relative of a Lakewood resident,

who wishes to remain anonymous, was notified about the development at about 2pm on Tuesday.

“It put me into a tailspin. It’s very short notice,” the source said.

“Everyone’s been uprooted. I do feel sorry for the staff and a lot of the residents are going to feel unsettled.”

The source said the family “dropped everything” to find their relative a new home, and secured a new room on Wednesday.

Lakewood manager Julie Berriman said the 24-bed facility had been quiet for a while, but the news was still surprising.

“It’s like when someone gets very sick and they pass away – it’s still a shock when they do.

“At least I’m busy doing something at the moment – it’ll hit me next week.”

She said the home’s income, $113 a day for the 11 residents, was not

enough to cover staff wages. “It’s not a money-making venture. “The Government needs to put more

money aside or the smaller, private homes will go down the gurgler.”

She said she was thankful for the support the community had given the staff team, which includes nurses, caregivers, cleaners, administrative staff and chefs.

“Other rest homes have been ringing up and have been very generous.

“They’re all good staff. We haven’t got any lemons.”

Employees were volunteering yester-day to help residents with their moves.

Shepherd Dunphy partner Iain Shep-herd is dealing with receivership negotiations.

He said his first meeting with the di-rector was two weeks ago. A buyer for the business was sought, but there was insufficient cash flow to attract one.

The building is owned privately by a North Island couple.

By Adam PoulopoulosA Marlborough Girls’ College pupil got a

belated birthday present earlier this month when she was chosen to head to London as part of the Young Shakespeare Company.

Year 11 student Bonnie Harrison is the youngest of 24 chosen for the three-week trip, which takes place in July next year.

The group will stay at Shakespeare’s birth-place, Stratford-upon-Avon, attend workshops and perform an as-yet-unknown play at the Globe Theatre.

Bonnie was chosen from a group of 48 stu-dents from around the country who attended the National Shakespeare Schools Production week, put on by the Shakespeare Globe Centre of New Zealand, in Dunedin recently.

The students performed in one of three plays, with Bonnie playing male scholar Holofernes in Love’s Labour’s Lost.

Bonnie said MGC old girl Dawn Sanders, who attended NSSP week and is heading to

London with the YSC, called her on October 12, the day after her birthday, to tell her the news.

“She said ‘would you like another birthday present?”

Bonnie’s journey to NSSP week began with regional and national competitions, where she played Katherine in a 15-minute excerpt of The Taming of the Shrew.

She said she had always been interested in acting, but it was not until her director Emily Hurley, an MGC year 13 student and past YSC participant, showed her the nuances in the text that her passion for Shakespeare grew.

“She really got me inspired. “The range of literary devices in Shakespeare

is incredible, and it can be adapted for the modern day.

“It’s not all old-days-in-the-round all the time. The content is immeasurably relevant.”

The YSC group meets again in June next year to attend the national Shakespeare festival, before heading off shortly after.

Bonnie’s trip will cost about $8500, and she plans to begin fundraising shortly.

By Adam Poulopoulos The Mitre 10 Mega bus went off

the road and into hedges at Omaka Cemetery on Tuesday.

The incident occurred just after 2:30pm, when the bus came out of Wither Road, at the intersection with Taylor Pass Road, and turned

right, ending up in the bushes. St John Marlborough territory

manager Murray Neal said the male driver and the only pas-senger, a female, were treated for minor injuries, and neither was transported to hospital.

A new integrated health hub for Blenheim came a step closer this week after the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (NMDHB) signed a lease with the Marlborough District Council for the former No1 Shoe Warehouse building.

Previously the Marlborough District Council considered the site as a possible location for the town’s new library.

A NMDHB spokesperson said the building will be extensively refurbished before the April 2015 opening date.

The new integrated health hub in Blenheim will house Kimi Hauora Wairau Marlborough Primary Health Organisation (PHO), the Public Health Ser-

vice and the Child and Ado-lescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

The refurbished facility will accommodate 18 Blenheim-based Public Health Service staff, 25 Kimi Hauora Wairau Marlborough PHO staff and 10 CAMHS team members.

K i m i H a u o r a Wa i r a u Marlborough PHO, CE Beth Tester said all key organisations were working well together to design the working environ-ment and layout of the new facility.

Mr Fleming said there is an op-portunity for other like-minded community health groups to share the facility and he wel-comed inquiries.

TRAIN DERAILMENTThe main Picton train line was

reopened late on Wednesday following a derailment earlier in the day.

The derailment involved two wagons on a northbound freight service into Picton on Wednesday morning. The wagons had been cleared from the site near Dublin Street by early afternoon.

The Coastal Pacific service from Christchurch to Picton was can-celled yesterday morning, but the return service ran last night.

KiwiRail are investigating the cause of the derailment.

MAYOR WELCOMES NEW HEALTH HUB

Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman says the location of a health hub in the former No 1 Shoe Warehouse site will help bring a new lease of life to Queen Street.

The Marlborough District Council, which owns the site, has leased it to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board and, after refurbishment, the new hub is due to open in April next year.

Mr Sowman said it’s a great outcome for Queen Street as its going to mean a big influx of foot traffic with so many more people working from the building.

By Adam PoulopoulosA local computer support com-

pany has found a way to quicken the speed of its computers while keeping their prices the same.

pcMedia has been replacing the spinning disks in their $1199 desktop computers with solid state drives, which helps the computer operate at about twice the speed.

They put together the comput-ers in the office with the help of Marlborough Boys’ College year 11 student Lucas Hippolite.

The solid state drive has less moving parts and is lighter than the spinning disk.

Managing director Lee Harper said the jump in technology is of a similar magnitude to when floppy disks were phased out by pen drives.

“This a major leap – one of the bigger jumps we have seen in 20 years.

To more than double the speed of a computer is of huge benefit.

At present they are manufactur-ing 50 computers a month.

A video displaying the differ-ence in speeds between the two drives can be seen on the pcMedia Facebook page.

pcMedia drives speed increase

Marlborough Boys’ College year 11 pupil Lucas Hippolite has been putting computers together for pcMedia for the last 18 months.

By Adam Poulopoulos It may not quite be rum, but

a pirate-themed Picton play-ground is looking to add coffee and frozen yoghurt to their mix in the near future.

Shipwrecks, in Mariners Mall, will be expanding into the old Picton Queen Charlotte Phar-macy premises, and what used to be Cuts Hairdressers.

The expansion will see seat-ing, dining tables and a coffee machine go in, and a frozen yoghurt shop, Antarctic Yo-ghurt, set up.

Work has already begun, and should be completed by the end of November.

Shipwrecks owner Mark McLean said the expansion was a natural progression for

the playground, which opened in March.

“We always intended to do it that way. We just opened the shop initially to get the name

out. “We always wanted seating

available for parents, which we don’t really have at the moment.”

He said Shipwrecks was help-ing to regenerate the mall.

“We want to give parents and kids somewhere to go.”

The playground contains a ball pit and jungle gym, while there is also a room that can be booked out for kids’ parties.

Manager Trina Adams said the first few months had been good.

“Birthday parties are a big thing, and often on rainy days we’ll see more in.”

She said she felt the play-ground had been successful because it offered kids a safe place to play.

“A lot of parents don’t want to go down to the foreshore, where the kids make straight for the water.

“It’s all contained here.”

Local woman Rachel Madsen’s family is motorbike mad.

Her 13-year-old son Joel has raced motocross since he was five before moving onto road racing nearly two years ago, following in his father’s footsteps.

It was when the family brought back a mini race replica balance bike for her youngest son Kobie from the MotoGP in 2012, that it sparked an interesting business idea.

“We travel all over the country with racing at different events and when Kobie has his bike so many people want to know where we got

it from.“So at the start of the year I

decided to approach Kiddimoto UK to see how I could get them into the New Zealand market, and it turned out that Kiddimoto Australia was looking to get into NZ.

“So we worked together and now I take the bikes with me to the tracks when travelling and go to the odd show, including the up and coming Classics Auto Show at the Stadium on December 13,” she said.

The Kiddimoto bikes are on display and can be purchased at Cherubs.

SAFETY MESSAGE FOR LONG WEEKEND

Plunket is urging New Zealand families to think about their kids’ safety while they’re on the roads this holiday weekend.

“Over this weekend have a great break, enjoy time with family and friends and remember everyone has to be properly buckled up”, according to Sue Campbell, Plunket’s National Child Safety Advisor.

“Car crashes are one of the biggest dangers to New Zealand children. We have one of the highest child road fatality rates in the OECD. Around five children are killed or injured every week on this country’s roads. The simple truth is that car seats save lives”, she said.

Marlborough sports figures who reached national representative level or who competed at international level in the last year have had their names recorded for posterity. Marlborough’s Sports Hall of Fame ‘Book of Recognition’ established by Sport Tasman honours outstanding local sporting figures and provides a permanent record of their achievements. There are two categories: • Sports Hall of Fame: a Marlburian selected as a full New Zealand representative and endorsed by their sport’s national governing body• Roll of Honour: a local resident who achieves any kind of national representative honour, through the age grades and competing at international level.The book is held at the public library in Blenheim.

Plunket is celebrating its success in lobbying the Marlborough District Council to bring forward the upgrade of the pre-schoolers playground area at Oliver Park in Redwoodtown.The equipment dates back to the 1980s and is now showing its age and Plunket, working with Councillor Laressa Shenfield, has been pressing for improvements.Councillors on the Assets and Services Committee have agreed that $51,000 be brought forward

from next year’s budgets so the work can be done sooner than had been scheduled.The money will go into improving the safety of some equipment and replacing other items, with money earmarked for the tower, slide and swings, safety surfacing and new fencing.

Council has been planning for some time to improve the overcrowded library facilities in Picton. Now councillors have decided that Picton’s Library is one project that should be given priority.The need for a new Picton Library was identified in the North Marlborough Urban Growth Strategy and Picton people have been patiently waiting to hear when this was going to become a reality says Mayor Alistair Sowman. “We could just do a patch-up of the existing building in High Street but this is also a chance to bring the library closer to the town’s central focus, its waterfront,” he said.

Council holds a block of land on lower Wellington Street where it would be possible to build a library.“Instead of wrestling with the existing site and trying to extend it, we could put all the effort into making sure the Picton community has a purpose-built library. It does need to be understood that Council has only enough funds to contemplate a library – nothing more. However it could be a wonderful addition to the waterfront, designed to complement the area,” Mr Sowman said.In coming weeks, councillors will be discussing how best to progress the library project and Picton councillors

want to hear feedback from Picton residents about the proposal. “We’re been talking a lot about the opportunities facing Picton now that the ferry decision has been made. Some of the ideas have already been publicised – like opening up the streetscape to the harbour and linking the cafes more closely to the waterfront and there’s quite a bit of excitement about that and I really feel Picton is poised to take a step forward. The library will be another big positive for the town but we need to hear what people think before decisions are made,” said the Mayor.

Positive ageing - Never too late to stopCost is often an incentive for people on limited incomes to give up smoking but health reasons can prompt older people to get help to stop, even after a lifetime of smoking.As well as all the widely known health risks, medical experts say smoking will delay healing for skin wounds and after surgery and will contribute to health problems that can arrive with older age like troublesome leg ulcers.

If you want to stop smoking or are thinking about quitting, there are people and services to help:

• Telephone support through Quitline freephone: 0800 778 778

• Website Quitline www.quit.org.nz• Consult your GP• Hypnotherapists, pharmacists,

Recycling bins and the wind! - secure paper and cardboardIts spring and in Marlborough that can mean windy weather.Please remember to secure any paper going out in your recycling bin so we don’t have rubbish blowing

about in the streets. Stack heavy items on top of the paper and cardboard, especially in windy weather.It’s a help if newspapers are separated from other paper like junk mail

and magazines. Secure newspapers by bundling them up in a supermarket bag or tie the bundles with string.All materials for recycling should be placed inside the

bin, not stacked next to it. Too much to fit in the bin? Hold it for the following week - or take it direct to the Resource Recovery Centre in Blenheim or the Picton Transfer Station.

Quitline gets more than 100 callers a month over age 65, and those in the older age groups who use all the support services and resources have a better rate of success than younger people.

RE: FLYING PAPERGreat letter “Flying Paper’ in Sun, oct 22.

Unless one is in the market for a new home why do we all need to get this property paper deliverd anyway? Goes straight in the bin, waste of printing if you ask me.

RE: CLEAN GIVINGTotally agree with your thoughts, but

realistically it is the shops responsibility to make sure what they are selling is clean and clear.

LET DOWNOn the spot Riverdale lets the neighbour-

hood down, Whats up? Owners need to get their act together and if its not to be re opened needs to go and fast. If its waiting for the powers that be then get the lawnmower and weed killer out, lots of community minded people down here who take pride in their suburb and homes. Budge st looks beautiful with its flowering cherry trees, Holdaway st was spectacular with Kowhai trees, wake up Blenheim you don’t get to choose your neighbours!

WHY THESE TREESWhy does the council plant Pines, Gums

and Wattle trees which are favourite wood merchant sale items in Wither FarmPark an area of significant historic fires.

On the spot Riverdale, if they aren’t going to knock it over and clean the place up let’s the area down after they have been doing the big clean up recently.

There are some exciting changes afoot at

New World Blenheim.

Ashley and Melanie are dedicated to pro-viding the very best shopping experience in Marlborough. These changes are all the result of customer feedback, and designed to deliver the quickest and easiest visit to New World Blenheim.

Changes will include moving all drinks into the same area, removing cleaning prod-ucts from the baking goods aisle, increasing the international food section, as well as installing a brand new bakery wall unit.

To ensure these changes cause as little disruption as possible, the majority of work will be carried out overnight, staff will be wearing highly visible red t-shirts, and ad-ditional staff will be available to help direct customers.

“We will do everything we can to help our customers through the changes”, Ashley said.

Changes will begin on Tuesday afternoon (October 28th), and will be completed by Thursday morning (October 30th).

A local friendly team bringing you all of your supermarket needs and thousands of savings everyday.

Open 7am – 10pm 7 Days

Proudly 100% locally owned and operatedOwners Melanie and Ashley Shore.

To ensure New World Blenheim has the very best range and is laid out in a logical flow for our customers’ shopping experience.

We asked our customers what they wanted, and we listened to what they told us.

Wine and Beer will now be in one long aisle but will remain in the same area.

All bread and bakery goods will be located in the last aisle.

Soft drink, Water, Cordials and Energy drinks will be located together with juice

in one area.Cleaning products will be moved to be

opposite pet food.Our international food selection will be

significantly increased.

We believe there are many benefits to customers.

Having bread and bakery product located together makes it easier to shop and being located last means there is less chance of it being squashed.

Having juice and soft drinks together just makes sense.

Moving cleaning products away from bak-ing goods we felt was critical. It is a highly perfumed area and is better positioned away from food products.

Growing our international section is great for our customers and we will be adding many interesting and delicious products.

These changes will begin on Tuesday after-noon (October 28th), and will be completed by Thursday morning (October 30th).

Most adjustments will be done after 8pm

each night but there will be some juggling to deal with during the day. All of the work will be completed by the start of business on Thursday October 30th.

We have a large team of people helping and we are doing the majority of the work at night time.

We will have extra staff on the floor in red t-shirts who will be available to help at all

times in locating products.We will have maps of the new store layout

available at the entrance of the shop to help you locate all products.

By Adam Poulopoulos Representatives of the Marlborough District

Council’s Sister City Committee hope a recent visit to Marlborough in England will help to strengthen ties between schools in the two regions.

The committee’s community representative Jeff Sewell visited St John’s Marlborough, in Wiltshire, England, last month.

He returned with memorabilia, including a shirt and tie, and handed it over to the Mayor and some Marlborough Girls’ College students on Wednesday afternoon.

Since then a video blog link has been estab-lished between the two schools.

Mr Sewell said he was impressed by St John’s facilities.

“The college is state-of-the-art, with amazing

study units for music and theatre. “They have international ambassadors and

they would be very keen to reciprocate the visit Marlborough Girls’ gave them in 2013, so hopefully we’ll see them out here soon.”

St John’s is a co-educational school with more than 1600 students.

As well as establishing the school connection, Mr Sewell also discussed ways the two towns could be more closely linked during a meeting with Marlborough Town Council in the UK.

Ideas included a book exchange, so each city’s library has a section about the other Marlborough, links between the two mayors’ collars and letters of introduction for people travelling between the towns.

Marlborough Town Council also hopes to set up a youth council similar to the one MDC has.

School link strengthened

The memorabilia is displayed at the Marlborough District Council chambers. From left: MGC students Taylor Brooks and Amy Tempero, sister city committee chairman Graeme Barsanti, Mayor Alistair Sowman, student Hannah Brooks and sister city committee community representative Jeff Sewell.

By Adam Poulopoulos Some of the outside of John’s Kitchen was given a paint job by volunteers earlier this week. Staff from Constellation Brands painted the walls on The Warehouse side of

John’s Kitchen, starting at 1pm on Monday. The work was done as part of Constel-lation Brands’s ‘Nourishing Neighbours’ volunteer work programme.

By Adam Poulopoulos An old building on the Maxwell Care Home site was brought down yesterday, as the home looks to extend their facility. The building, at the front of the section on Maxwell Road was formerly owned by Fair-view Hospital. Bupa purchased the site at the end of January last year, and the wooden structure had been unused since midway through 2013, when the ceiling partially collapsed during a storm and it was deemed electrically unsafe. The structure was built about 30 years ago.

Now, plans are being formulated to extend the existing Maxwell Care Home facility at the back of the section, but nothing has been decided and no date has been set. Maxwell Care Home clinical manager Penny Tuckerman said Bupa had planned to demolish the building for a while. “In their view the building was always going to come down so they could extend the existing building. “Knocking that to the ground should help peo-ple realise there is a care facility in the back.”

We are getting to the end of the tour and getting tired now, so we decided to just have a quiet day doing things by ourselves.

Things like laundry become a problem and time consuming, so we sent our laundry out and spend the day site seeing.

Got the bus to the old city, brought a few souvenirs, had lunch and watched the world go by.

Had a hair cut - was quite interest-ing as no one could speak English!

So with lots of hand waving we got the job done. Looked for an Apple Store as my iPad was not working.

Brought a few things from the supermarket for the road trip.

Back at the hotel we phoned to get our laundry and the lady told us it was going to cost about $300.

For that price I could have brought a whole new wardrobe!

After much discussion the cost was reduced. Lesson learnt though - wash and hang it over the bath!

Up early the next morning and off to Krakow, stopping at Auschwitz on the way.

We passed the famous train sta-tion - Oswiecim - the last civilisation many people would have seen. There was this eerie feeling - no one was talking on their radios, just very quiet and following the car in front. We were told to stay together, park together, and don’t listen to anyone.

Around the corner we were con-fronted with a mass of people and buses galore - it looked like Grand Central Station. The eerie feeling soon disappeared as we concen-trated on where we were going. We were herded into a building, given earphones, and all pushed into a room to watch a short film. Then

we were split into two groups and a guide came to explain about the camp. It was all too much. A few of the group stayed with the cars. Inside the camp there were guard boxes so the guards could have some shelter. The area had a double barbed wire fence around it. It is hard to comprehend what actually happened today, but it was certainly very moving.

Then it was time to go into some of the buildings and the mood changed. I started to take photos (as you were allowed to) but after a few I just didn’t feel comfortable so I just walked with the group. Everyone was quiet. Seeing photos of thousands of people starving to death was just awful. There were dolls left by children, shoes, 100s of reading glasses, suitcases with peoples names on them, and one of the shocking things was human hair. We were taken into another brick shed. I didn’t take much notice, but inside I was just getting my bearings and thought, “what is this empty room?” - then I looked up and saw these pipes going across the ceiling with holes in them - I realised where I was. A doorway led to railway tracks and the ovens. I spotted Ron heading for the door, and we got out of there as fast as we could. By this stage we needed to go.

We caught a bus to Birkenau - only stayed a short time as I didn’t want to see anymore. It was such a devastat-ing place. We are pleased we saw it but unsure if we will be going back.

Auschwita is about 40 miles west of Krakow. Auschwita-Birkenau was the largest concentration and extermination camp established by

the Nazi regime and is the symbol of The Holocaust. It consisted of three main camps: Auschwitz 1, the administrative centre; Auschwita 2 (Birkenau), as extermination camp and Auschwita 3 (Monowita), a work camp. The first two were included on the World Heritage List in 1979.

All back on the road - quite drained. Arriving in Krakow to our hotel was great. We found a nice outdoor cafe for dinner and watched the horses and buggies go by. Great dinner, then it poured with rain. Caught a taxi back to the hotel. Big day.

Leaving Krakow we headed for Prague via the Salt Mines. What a fantastic place. After paying for the tour (extra if you want to take photos), we had to walk down 500 stairs, 326 metres deep. It took us three hours to only see a small part of the mines. The chandeliers were made of salt, hanging in this huge room where they hold functions. Then we all lined up for an hour to get in this small lift. Brought souvenirs, then back on the road.

Driving through small villages and big open lush land, we crossed over the boarder into the Czech Republic. Roads were good and we were able to get our speeds up to 120 - 130. The older cars found it a bit hard going. You have to travel with your lights on as there is a 220 crown ticket if you don’t! The police weren’t around as much but they did pick up our leader for no lights and running a red light. His shout!

It is believed the longest recorded fingernails belonged to Lee Redmond (USA), who started to grow them in 1979 and carefully manicured them to reach a total length of 8.65 m (28 ft 4.5 in) as measured on the set of Lo show dei record in Madrid, Spain, on 23 February 2008.

Lee lost her nails in an automobile accident in early 2009.

Eric the EelSPORTS TALK

Training to run a marathon is hard work, especially when it’s your first one and you keep get-ting sick.

The result, a month out from the big day, is a feeling of being massively underdone.

It feels like that moment before an exam, when you know you haven’t done enough study and you know cramming isn’t going to help very much.

All you can do is keep working hard as long as you can, stick to your diet and stay positive.

The upshot of all this self-reflec-tion was it got me thinking about Eric ‘the Eel’ Moussambani, the epitome of an ‘underdone’ athlete.

Eric, a swimmer from Equato-rial Guinea, competed in the 100 metres at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Then 22, he had gained a wild-card for the Games as part of a scheme for developing countries.

Before setting foot on Australian soil, he had never seen a 50 metre swimming pool, and had only started swimming eight months before the Games. He arrived in Sydney with about NZ$100 spending money.

One of three competitors in his heat, the Eel ended up winning it because the other two jumped the gun and false-started, but instead of winning it by default,

he was made to swim alone. For one minute and 52 seconds, Eric flapped his way through the race, to the cheers of the crowd. His finishing time was outside the 200 metres world record at the time.

In the four years before Athens 2004, the Eel crushed his Aus-tralian memories and became quite electric. He halved his personal best time, enough to qualify ‘properly.’

However, in a depraved twist of fate, he was unable to compete due to visa problems.

Finally, good luck this weekend Makos. You have made provincial rugby exciting for a very proud, very depressed Wellingtonian.

With ...Adam Poulopoulos

By Adam PoulopoulosThe Rarangi under-23 mens surf

boat crew are a man down, but still hold hopes of defending the national title they won last year.

The team of Joe Lepper, Keagen Saul, Mick Boon and Abe Rood, with Neil Watts as sweep/coach, won the under-23 mens surf boat short course title at the New Zealand Surf Life Sav-ing Championships earlier in the year.

However, with Rood in Europe the crew is looking for another member to defend their crown at next March’s nationals in Gisborne.

The crew also hopes to enter the long-course division, which they achieved bronze in two years ago, at the same event.

The new member will be able to swim, ideally have rowing experience, and will complete lifeguard qualifica-tions before getting in the boat.

Watts said those who got out on the

water and gave the sport a go would not be disappointed.

“I find it exhilarating. Once you catch a wave you get the bug.

“We train as often as we want, but as you get better you obviously want to train more often.

“Because they have a record it gives them a chance this time around.”

The crew’s win last year was Ra-rangi’s first gold medal at a national event.

They begin their competitive season with a trial for the New Zealand under-23 development crew, which will take on Australia at Waihi Beach in early February.

The trial, in December in Wel-lington, is the first of four before the crew is selected.

If you like to register your interest, contact the Rarangi Surf Life Saving Club.

Crew mate needed!

The ITM Cup final between Tasman and Taranaki is causing splits in National’s newly elected ranks.

Nelson and Marlborough MPs Nick and Stuart Smith, and Barbara Kuriger and Jonathan Young, the MPs for Taranaki King Country and New Plymouth respectively, have been trading blows in the parliamentary debating chamber.

Stuart and Nick Smith said they were hoping for a Makos win tomorrow night.

“The Makos have unfinished business with Taranaki and need to avenge the narrow loss in Nelson on September 11.

“It will be an extraordinary achievement for the Tasman Makos to win their first ITM Cup. We want the full team to know they have the Nelson and Marlborough communities’ spirited support.”

Rugby Rivalry spills into debating chamber

Barbara Kuriger, Jonathan Young, Stuart Smith and Nick Smith have the same political beliefs, but will be cheering for different teams tomorrow night.

Joe Lepper and Keagen Saul. Mick Boon returns next week to take his place in the boat.
