Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk

Blenheim woman Mary Hart is known to the com-munity for her charitable efforts with foster children, but last month she was made the recipient of a stranger’s generosity.

Two days after Christ-mas Mary was shopping at Countdown Blenheim store, and when she went to pay for her groceries she found her eftpos card was missing from her purse.

A woman standing behind her in line immediately stepped forward and paid for her purchase, and an embarrassed but grateful Mary was able to take her groceries home.

“I was, and still am, so very grateful to that woman for what she did. I really cannot thank her enough.

“I certainly don’t want any-thing other than to show my gratitude to her,” she says.

When home, Mary checked her account via online bank-ing and found that her entire bank account had been emptied.

“I just sat down and cried, it was crushing.

“Because of their selfish-ness I now have to play catchup on bills for the next few weeks,” she says.

Upon further investiga-tion by Police, the person who had stolen the card was identified.

The amount stolen was

$330 which Mary says was “an awful lot” to her.

“I am surviving on a benefit, raising my three grandchildren alone and that money was supposed to pay bills and buy enough food to last until my next pay.

“I was buying milk, bread, cereal and other essentials for my grandchildren, and without that lady’s generosity I don’t know what I would have done,” Mary says.

That person has been charged with the theft and will appear in Blenheim Dis-trict Court later this month.

Theft victim thanks good samaritan

Mary Hart had all her money stolen, but a stranger’s gen-erosity ‘made her day’.

Continued from page 1.Each night at 6pm until Anzac Day, six

names of fallen service men and women will be read out and their memories honoured

A poppy will also be laid in their memory.Teeling served in the Air Force for 21 years,

including a stint in Marlborough from 1981 to 1985.

He played with the Marlborough District Brass Band while serving in Marlborough and has been a regular fixture on cornet and trombone since 1999.

He says a photo of the 1910 Blenheim Gar-rison Band that hand in the band’s present day hall was an inspiration.

“You look at that photo and you realize that most of those guys served and some didn’t come back alive.

“It’s easy to forget that they were all individuals so I wanted to personalise things.

Teeling says he has not played the cornet regularly for a few years but was keen to get back into the instrument he first played when he was 12.

He later found out it was the same instru-ment his grandfather used to play.

Teeling says The Last Post is a tough tune to get right and he would try to remain focused despite the emotion around the event.

“There will be some of my fellow band mates who will have relatives being re-membered so that will add to the emotion on their nights.

“But if I get emotional I don’t think that will do anything for playing.”

MRSA president, John Forrest says it was important to recognise the ultimate sacrifice Marlburians had made in battle during such an important year.

He says the ceremonies will be brief but felt it would be a good chance for family members to get involved in honouring their fallen relatives.

Forrest hoped school children would help with aspects of the ceremonies, including the poppy presentations.

It was also hoped secondary school pupils would play an important role in highlighting the youth of the Marlburians who served by dressing in various armed forces uniforms to lead the main Anzac Day parade in April.

Family members wishing to be involved in

a ceremony are asked to get in touch with the MRSA via email [email protected] or to call Christine Bamber to register.

CRUISE SHIPS UNDER FIRE

Four cruise ships set to visit Marlborough soon have caught the attention of an international environment group for the wrong reasons.

Crystal Symphony, Silver Discov-erer, Silver Spirit and MS Insignia received an unacceptable rating for their sewage treatment and air pollution reduction processes, as well as for their final ship grade in the latest Friends of the Earth Cruise Ship Report Card.

The report ranked 167 cruise ships based on their sewage treat-ment, air-pollution reduction and water-quality compliance.

PUBLIC NOTICE100 DAYS FOR 100 YEARS

The Marlborough RSA advise that effective Thursday 15 January 2015, the last post will be sounded at 1800 hours (6:00 PM) at the Blenheim Cenotaph in Seymour Square each evening and the names of six Marlborough men and women read out from the Marlborough Roll of Honour, who made the ultimate sacrifice as the result of wars or conflicts since the Boer war in 1899. A poppy will also be laid for each and every name read out each evening. This ceremony will continue each and every evening until ANZAC Day, 25 April 2015. The New Zealand and Australian ensigns will be flown at the Blenheim Memorial for the 100 days from 15 January as well.Denis Teeling from the Marlborough District Brass Band who proposed the one hundred last posts as a personal commemorative activity towards the World War one hundred year ANZAC centenary for 2015, will play the Last Post and Rouse, ably backed up by fellow bandsmen to ensure a trumpeter is in attendance each evening. The Marlborough District Brass Band was originally the Nelson Marlborough West Coast Regimental Brass Band and it has had a long association with the District since 1854. All veterans, Ex Service and Serving servicepersons and the public are invited to participate each evening and the MRSA will mark the commencement on Thursday 15 January with a parade (medals may be worn) at the Blenheim Cenotaph to mark the occasion. MRSA will also support the daily events as we are able.It is envisaged that Marlborough youth groups and schools may wish to support this activity by reading out the six Roll of Honour names and laying poppies for them each evening on a rotational basis, over a period such as a week.

Any youth movement, schools or relatives so interested in participating are encouraged to contact the MRSA Coordinator C/- email [email protected] OR telephone Mrs Christine Bamber 021370440 to register their participation.John L. ForrestPresident MRSA

By Adam PoulopoulosBlenheim couple Doug and Anne Saul

celebrated a special milestone with a glass of champagne at their Springlands home yesterday.

The couple were married 60 years ago yesterday at 10:30am, with the ceremony held at St Mary’s Catholic Church.

They drank to mark their diamond anniver-sary with family, including their five children, three of whom had come to mark the occasion from overseas.

Doug also presented Anne with a quilt por-trait of the two, made by local quilter Melissa Burdon.

Anne was born in Blenheim, and Doug moved into town from Palmerston North when he was two.

Anne worked at the Union Bank of Australia, which has subsequently become ANZ Bank, and Doug was a plasterer and built wall boards.

Doug was also heavily involved in local sport, including rowing, basketball, softball and rugby.

He was a co-coach of the 1973 Marlborough Red Devils Ranfurly Shield-winning team, and a stalwart of the Central club.

He says he took on a successful Central side when the players were still teenagers.

“I went to one of their 50th wedding anniver-saries the other day. That was pretty scary!”

They have received correspondence from the Queen, Prime Minister John Key, Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae and MP Peter Dunne.

Anne says she feels “very lucky” to celebrate the milestone.

“We feel very privileged to have reached 60 years, and we’ve lived here in Marlborough all of those years.”

Apart from nearly a decade at Rarangi, the couple have lived their entire married life in Springlands.

More family are coming to town for a con-tinued celebration tomorrow.

Sixty years strong for Sauls

By Jacob PageA Blenheim woman is offering a cash

reward to find a cyclist who refused to stop for her and her three-year-old daughter, Sophia, while walking their ‘moodle’ dog Miss Dainty earlier this week.

Claudia Wiesner is offering a $100 reward for information to track down the “angry” cyclist after he refused to stop for them on the Taylor River Walkway.

Sophia had just fallen over and grazed her arm and her mum believes Miss Dainty had come running to check on her only to be struck by the cyclist and be briefly thrown into the air.

“I yelled at him to go slower,” Claudia says.The response she got surprised her further,

simply “slow your dog”.“My daughter is still in disbelief that

someone would do something like this to her dog.”

The cyclist was wearing a blue cycling

shirt and a black helmet and was aged in his 40s.

Claudia says she is keen to meet the man to have a chat and try to get him to understand the impact the incident has had on her daughter.

“There are cyclists, dogs and children around this walkway and I think everyone should use it and get along”

“He is a very bad man, he didn’t even check if Miss Dainty was alright, Mum,” Sophia commented.

Claudia says the man needed to realise how his behaviour looked to a young child and how his actions were dangerous.

Anyone with information can contact The Sun.

Animals and children, both full of fun and energy so when you combine them it’s a match made in heaven.

Blenheim woman Katie Wilson is thrilled to begin promoting her Walnut Ranch Riding School and Farm Park to the community.

Located on David Street, the property is home to a number of cute furry and feathered friends including a goat and a dog, horses, llamas, ducks, chickens, birds, bunnies and guinea pigs.

Throughout the year many other animals are brought in as well to add to the excitement for children.

“We are looking at bringing in baby emus and a piglet this year,” Katie says.

Walnut Ranch is owned by Katie’s parents and the business is very much a family affair.

Katie offers children’s horse riding lessons, preschool riding groups with the smaller ponies, adult riding lessons and private bookings such as birthday par-ties.

Another exciting addition is the holiday programme for children aged from five years, which runs throughout the year and offers horse riding, arts and crafts and lessons in animal care.

The programmes are held over three days from 10am - 3pm and enrolments for next week’s programme are now being taken.

“It’s so exciting to see my dream become a reality,” Katie says.

The idea to open Walnut Ranch came when Katie and her friend Lynley Baker were ‘horsing’

together.Lynley’s children wanted to

learn to ride and the business grew from there.

“I had two horses but began buying more and more.

“We have just spent the past year getting resource consent and now we are ready to take on more students and bookings,” she smiles.

For more information contact Katie via her website www.walnutranch.co.nz or visit her Facebook page.

Farm park opensTroy Wilson, Rhylee Baker, Hannah Wilson, Julian Wilson and Zoe Jordaan with some of the animals at Walnut Ranch.

With her studies finally complete, New Zealand squash representative Megan Craig has founded her own personal training service in Blenheim.

Megan started Megan Craig BodyWorks officially at the beginning of the year, but has been taking clients since she finished studying in October.

The training centres mainly on strength work, with some cardio also incorporated.

Megan says the study has helped to keep her occupied while travelling, but she is excited to start something she’s always had a passion for.

Megan has taken on several clients she picked up from running boot camps in the past and coaching squash.

She says this year, with no Commonwealth Games and Women’s World Championship to

worry about, it gives her more time to get the business established.

Megan also hopes to take a nutrition course after receiving a Prime Minister’s Scholarship.

By Adam PoulopoulosNelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter

staff have been busy early in the New Year, but chief crewman Paul Bryant says there is no one reason for the spike in activity.

The service was called out seven times around Marlborough from New Year’s Day to January 6, part of 17 jobs recorded around the region which also includes Nelson and Tasman.

The overall figure has risen from last year, when there were 10 callouts during the same period, and 2013, when there were 12.

The seven callouts were taken in the Kenepuru Sound, Endeavour Inlet, d’Urville Island, Wairau Valley and at the Wither Hills, with causes including medical conditions, a

motorbike accident, a broken leg and a fall. Bryant says a variety of reasons, such as

periods of nice weather, more widespread use of locator beacons and advances in technol-ogy would all have contributed.

“There’s a real variance – it’s not as if we’ve had 17 car crashes or 17 locator beacons.

“It’s in keeping with this time of the year, when people enjoy themselves and do what they want to.”

Paul says the rise has been in keeping with last year’s figures, which show 100 more callouts than any other year.

Judges for the 2015 Cawthron Marlborough Environment Awards have plenty of variety to look forward to as they set out this month looking at entries ranging from Molesworth Sta-tion to jewellery hand-crafted from recycled cutlery.

There are 25 entries in this year’s Awards, which celebrate and showcase businesses and community projects that are doing their bit to look after the environment.

“The range and high calibre of entries is a sign of the growing awareness about where we live and how we want to look after our region,” says Environment Awards trustee Peter Jerram.

“It’s good to see several repeat entries who keep raising the bar by improving their monitoring and measuring of things like water, power and fuel use, and coming up with more ways to conserve these resources.”

This year’s entries include new forestry harvesting technology to reduce soil erosion, winery power savings from solar panels, a community garden that deliv-ers free veges to older residents, and an irrigation audit system that stops water being wasted in the vineyard.

The winners will be an-nounced at the Awards Dinner at the Marlborough Convention Centre on March 13, followed by

public field days at the winning properties in April and May.

“All entrants will have their time in the spotlight at the Awards Dinner which is a chance for everyone to share ideas and see how business and community efforts are making a difference in Marlborough,” says Mr Jerram.

Amazing burgerHad the most amazing burger frm Redwood Takeaways last nite. An lovely fish bites last week. Gr8 food and nice people. Highly recommend them.

Picton woesPicton woes, continuing woes from the transit point of Marlborough, face it, the one block paved street, off the main rd has more Real Estate shops than others. Saving grace is the foreshore and tourism wharves, marinas seen from the ferries and with the new Bluebridge terminal and other vehicle check in, the arrival tourism focus has moved right across town. The drive south to Blenheim is direct. Can the business boffins too see the answer??

Foot rageCouncil thinks Kaikoura has done it! Raised roadways have a little “Give Way” sign on a “Pause” bollard at the road edges. They are not pedestrian crossings and this educates walkers. Could we not inform local pedes-trians and help drivers! or put up with abuse from those who suffer from foot rage.

Vegie thievesTo the 2 boys that are ripn the Redwood town school garden off and thrown veges at the flats behind the school, we are all sick of it u nearly smashed my window, u with the blonde hair and u with the black curly hair! To the ones that smashed up the pool, we gunna catch uz look out now! HAD ENUF.

Beer golfWent to play golf at the Blenheim course & saw six people playing a round of golf out of one golf bag, sum of them drinking beer while playing, surely most of them never paid to play, two elderly women to scared to approach them incase they were told where to go. Blenheim golf club shouldn’t just rely on members to ask non members if they have paid.

Open or closedBlenheim-Ostrich or Open? Easter Warbirds. Will the town open for the hordes of tourists coming to town for the four days, or will retrained its tradition of CLOSED! Its a no brainer surely! Use the opportunity for a main street market, restaurants, the railway, the river queen, not like last time when guests have also experienced Wanaka and see a wasted chance to shine.

Sad gardensHave been delivering flyers in the Witherlea area. Please people spare a thought and some water for your gardens. Its a very sad picture at so many places.

Raise a footA sign seen on Pictons Elevation some years ago. Would all motorists sick of receiving speeding tickets...please raise their right foot.

Bad driversWhy is it that Blen drivers in particular are so bad at driving they 1. stop in merging lanes, Budge St a good example 2. speed up and race at passing lanes then slow back down to 70 or 80k 3. stop at empty roundabouts 4. Pass on double yellows. I observe this almost every day between Blen & Picton, get real & learn to drive b4 someone dies.

Canine golfersWhy do so many people walk there dogs around the Blenheim golf course, had three people playing golf while there dog running around the place Sunday evening, I don’t think they were club members. Blenheim golf club have to do more about non members having a sneaking game & banning all dogs running around the course. Take your mutts somewhere else.

Porky smileHad the most delicious ‘pork belly’ pie from the ‘Burleigh Store’ yumo

Unsafe carsLurkin police txt to paper ‘no w.o.f, no rego’. Drivers with unsafe cars do hurt people, hope you don’t get a wheel roll from a car into u!!

Picton stunnersPicton foreshore and cbd are looking stunning my family were there last week, the gardens were amazing, good to see a hard working crew getting the job done.

Help now!After ringing noise control about barking dog in Stratford st, what good is sending animal control round the next business day..it’s 2am christmas morning, do something now.

Not poorI live in one of the poor areas an my wreak has a reg an wof, I work and I’m not that poor and I have insurance too, thanks its just a matter of fact.

RIP MikeRIP Warrant Officer Mike Cocker, Medic, RNZAF. Long serving and respected member and mentor of the air force medical trade. Lost before his time, will never be forgotten. Farewell Mike, from all former air force medics.

Great owlWe’ve been watching amazing carving of the tree trunk in Maxwell Rd. Brilliant job, that owl is awesome.

Honestly lives onTo the lovely person who handed in my cell phone to the police 19 Dec, I just want to say a huge Thank You! Thank you for reminding me there are still kind hearted and thoughtful people out there!

Good salesGood news for Makana sales I hear. So how about opening a small shop in Blm? Imagine your sales then!

Dear Ed,I have always loved the speedway. I have fond memories of sitting with my

father at the Blenheim track vigorously cheering on the drivers.

It’s so nice to see that little old Blenheim is attracting these big events and I know

I will be up front, with my dear old dad cheering on our drivers once again when the saloon title comes to town.

Let’s prove why we are the best. Go hard Blenheim, kick some butt!Super proud fan

Kick some butt

Dear Ed,Christmas Day as I sat with family enjoy-

ing the day, in the background the TV was broadcasting tragedy after tragedy.

As the days passed and we entered the New Year, the tragedies continued.

And as I sit and listen to the national news today, I am futher saddened by yet another tragedy in the form of a baby killed by ‘unexplained’ head injuries.

This was one of many cases of children seriously injured and killed in New Zealand in the past six months, many at the hands of their own family.

Then there were the deaths on the roads, drownings, the burglaries, more earth-quakes and god knows what else happens tomorrow.

It was a very sad start to 2015.Stacey

Dear Ed,I found Picton to have more Christmas

spirit than Blenheim.There were decorations in High Street, a

beautiful Christmas tree in the centre strip and carol singers on nearly every corner.

I can’t thank those singers enough for their beautiful voices serenading us while we ate our lunch in the sun.

Surely MDC can scrape together enough funds to do something for Blenheim?

Or will it be up to the people to do some-thing AGAIN.

Seems that way nowadays.Carol

I get hooked into the American reality shows, people chasing storage shed auctions or finding and restoring classic cars that they find.

Q I’m inspired by...

Anyone who has aimed high and either achieved or is achieving towards it.

Q What’s one thing that you’ll never throw away?

According to my wife, I don’t throw away enough.

Burt Munro would have been a great guest at a table with lots of stories to share.

Q What’s next on your wish list?

Just to keep growing our new business allowing us to travel in the future.

Q What is the one thing Sun readers would be surprised to know about you?

In my spare time I write articles for both local newspapers and a national speedway magazine.

Blenheim woman Sue Warner is desperately seeking a new home for her beloved animals, dogs Jes-sie and Fuggly, and cat Maxwell.

Sue and husband Norm are re-turning home to the United King-dom due to family commitments, but cannot take their ‘babies’ with them.

What makes this situation upset-ting for Sue is her attachment to her animals, so she is wanting to hear from anyone who can give them a kind and loving home.

“Ideally I would like the dogs to stay together. Jessie is such a mother to Fuggly and enjoys grooming him most mornings so I would dearly like to see them stay together,” she says.

Jessie and Fuggly were both rescued by Sue and Norm. Jessie, an 11-year-old Fox Terrier Cross came from the Auckland SPCA and has what Sue describes as a

‘sweet nature’.Fuggly, an eight-year-old Shar-Pei

Cross, was a puppy about to be put down when Sue and Norm took him in.

“He such a mummy’s boy, loves cuddles and likes to plod along beside me when we go for walks,” she smiles.

As for Maxwell, as long as he has some hedges to lay under and birds to watch, he will be happy, Sue laughs.

“It’s important to me that they go to safe, happy and loving homes to enjoy their twilight years.

“It’s breaking my heart to have to let them go, but if someone is happy to take them in I would be most grateful,” she says.

Sue says she is happy to pay for the next year’s registration for the dogs as well as some food to help out the new owners.

Up for tender loving homes

Blenheim woman Sue Warner is seeking kind and loving homes for her beloved animals, dogs Jessie and Fug-gly, and cat Maxwell before she goes over-seas.

Missing catBeetle, a much loved Burmese cat, has

gone missing from the Lewis Street area and his owners are desperate to find him.

Aged 11, Beetle is a very friendly na-tured cat which loves to explore garages and open cars, so his owners are asking people if they have any information or have seen him, to please contact them.

Rural Women New Zealand members are thrilled that Liz Evans, their former national president and a national life member, has been recog-nised for her services to rural women in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list, having been made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM).

Liz Evans served as Rural Women® national president from 2011 to 2013, and was Marlborough provincial sec-retary for 10 years.

She was also the adminis-trator for the Marlborough Provincial Federated Farm-ers from 2003 to 2011.

Mrs Evans says she sees the award as both a personal rec-ognition, and recognition of Rural Women New Zealand as an organisation.

“My association with Rural Women New Zealand has been a long and interesting journey over 40 years.

“Over that time the same issues have come up – advo-cacy for better services, or

not losing services, in rural, to the anxiety about member-ship,” she says.

She also counts among her most rewarding achieve-ments the establishment of the Enterprising Rural Women Awards, now in their sixth year, which have helped raise the profile of women running a wide variety of small rural businesses.

Originally a town girl, Mrs Evans was introduced to rural life when she married husband Geoff in 1974.

Rural Women congratulates Liz Evans on New Year’s Honour

By Adam Poulopoulos Farmlands Blenheim staff are excited to

move to their new premises, as construction on the building gathers pace.

The new premises are located on West-wood Avenue in Springlands, and will be significantly larger than the business’s current home, on the corner of Redwood and Kinross Street.

Farmlands Blenheim business manager Susan Pope says significant growth since

Farmlands and Combined Rural Traders merged on March 1, 2013, meant a bigger area was needed.

“We’ve outgrown our facilities here. “We haven’t got room for the amount of

produce we need, so the sooner we get out there the better.”

Robinson Construction are working on the building.

Staff are likely to move into the building in April.

Farmlands building coming together

The new Farmlands site.

The owners of the Forum building, in the Blenheim CBD, say the building is still for sale.

Terry Gillan says the building had re-ceived a high level of interest since going on the market at the start of October.

The two-storey premises currently has 14 tenancies, including restaurants, a hair-dresser’s and commercial offices.

Geoff Dentice from Mark Stevenson First National Real Estate is dealing with the sale.

Forum still up for grabs

It was a busier Christmas period last year than in 2013 for Marlborough businesses.

The latest figures from electronic pay-ments provider Paymark show the value of spending was $65mil. in Marlborough during the month of December, up 5.2 percent from the 2013 figure of $62.1mil.

The number of transactions also rose – to 1,200,000 from 1,130,000.

Otago, with 8.5 percent, and Nelson, with 8.2 percent, recorded the largest increases.

Marlborough’s rise was in keeping with the national trend, with only two of the 17 regions, Gisborne and Southland, recording a decrease.

Christmas Eve 2014 was Paymark’s busi-est day on record.

Story and photo by Celeste LodewykThe owners of Sommerville Orchard,

along with family members, were out in force yesterday picking what they described as one of their ‘best crops in years’.

Sandy Williams, one of four business partners, happily reported they had picked 55 crates of strawberries which equated to around half a tonne in weight.

This came as welcome news after a hail storm had destroyed their crop this time last year.

“I’m so stoked with how this year has been,” she smiles.

“We have been picking for the last few

weeks, but what we got today was one of our best crops.

“It’s safe to say we are well up on previ-ous years.”

The hot, dry weather has been a huge benefit to the success of the crop, she says.

“You can put water on the strawberries, but not take it off so the heat has been a big factor.”

All the strawberries picked are sold either at the gate from the orchard’s Mur-rays Road property, or at several markets in Blenheim and Nelson.

Syrups are also made from the fruit which are sold alongside the fruit.

“We do have some special deliveries

we make to people around town too,” Sandy adds.

Picking will continue through to the end of March when the frosts start to kick in.

In addition to their strawberries, Som-merville Orchard also produces cherries, nectarines and gooseberries which have now finished, as well as peaches and apricots which have now started to ripen.

Red currents, rhubarb and lettuces are the most recent additions to the orchard and so far have also gone well, and plans to plant more fruit trees are in motion.

“Overall we are happy with this season’s yield,” she smiles.

Sweet successSandy Williams, one of the owners of Sommerville Orchard is thrilled with their fruit crops so far. Inset: Fresh strawberries and Sommerville Orchard’s unique Strawberry syrup.

SPORTS TALK

The January transfer window has opened in Europe, which means football clubs have the ability to buy and sell players until the end of the month.

English fans use the prospect of their clubs buying a new player as something to warm the cockles during a dour time of year, but this time around, another story has grabbed the headlines.

Debate is continuing to rage over Ched Evans, a convicted rapist and former professional footballer.

The 26-year-old Welsh forward was sentenced to five years’ jail in April 2012 after raping a woman the previous year.

Last year, he was released early and began his search for a new club. His former club, Sheffield

United, met him on his release to discuss options, but 150,000 supporters signed a petition con-demning the move. Olympic gold medallist Jessica Ennis-Hill, a Sheffield United fan, threatened to have her name removed from the team’s grandstand if Evans signed.

Other clubs have followed simi-lar stances. Hibs, a Scottish club, attempted to sign him, but Evans is a registered sex offender, so cannot work abroad.

The BBC asked all 48 English third and fourth division clubs, likely to be Evans’s playing level, whether they would sign him. Eleven said under no circum-stances and 36 either distanced themselves or refused to comment.

The final club, Oldham, looks set

to offer him a contract, despite a petition of 60,000 opposing the move.

The chairman says he believes Evans has done his time.

Evans has only ever apologised to his girlfriend for being unfaith-ful, and continues to maintain his innocence.

His website, chedevans.com, sends the same message.

The NRL has its fair share of loose cannons, and Russell Packer and Danny Wicks look set to pick up contracts, following prison terms for assault and drug trafficking respectively.

SURF BOATING The Rarangi under-23 surf

boat crew convincingly won the Whangamata Surf Boat Spectacu-lar, held over the New Year period.

The four-man team of Joe Lepper, Keagan Saul, Mick Boon and Matt Jackson won three of the five races at the meet on January 2.

The meet doubled as the final regatta before the New Zealand Development team to face Australia at Waihi Beach next month.

The team is announced next week.

WHEELER OUT INJUREDMarlborough pace bowler Ben

Wheeler is likely to miss the rest of Central Districts’ one-day cricket competition after suffering a fractured finger.

The injury happened to his bowling hand during the warmup before a game against Canterbury in Timaru last week.

Marlborough Sportsperson of the Year Sophie MacKenzie and team-mate Julia Edward have not made the final five for the Halberg Team of the Year award.

The duo and nine other teams were nominated for the award

last year, but the list was whittled down earlier this week by the 28-strong Halberg Awards voting panel.

The five finalists are the Kiwis rugby league team, the Auckland City football team, the rowing

pair of Hamish Bond and Eric Murray, the cycling trio of Ethan Mitchell, Eddie Dawkins and Sam Webster and the 49er Class sailing team of Peter Burling and Blair Tuke.

MacKenzie and Edward won

gold and broke the world record at the World Rowing Champi-onships in Amsterdam in late August.

The Halberg Awards are on February 11.

By Adam Poulopoulos Twenty young Blenheim Swim-

ming Club members have been hard at work at the club’s training camp this week.

Aged from 10 to 16, the swim-mers have been spending between three and four hours in the pool each day as conditioning for up-coming meets.

Other parts of the camp have included sessions on motivation and goal setting, nutrition and tech-nique, as well as a running beep test and swimming sprint training.

The older swimmers at the camp are likely to have swum between 50

and 60 kilometres during the week. Several swimmers are heading to

Nelson for the Nelson Marlborough Country and Town meet this weekend, or the Wellington Long Course Summer Championships later this month.

Blenheim hosts the South Island Country and Town Championships, which are likely to attract about 200 swimmers, at the end of February.

Back: Abby Coldwell, 12 and Lily Bond, 10 and Front: Kazuki Ja-hana, 14, Anton Horton, 16 and Liam Clark, 16, during a rest ses-sion yesterday.

Conditioning for young swimmers

By Adam Poulopoulos Forty-two Black Caps have played in

the tournament down the years, so it is little wonder the South Island Primary Schools Cricket Tournament is seen as a big deal.

Marlborough will host the 52nd edi-tion of the tournament from Monday to Friday next week, with games being held at Horton Park, Oliver Park and Picton’s Endeavour Park.

Marlborough is one of 14 teams in-volved. Each team will play a game every day, with a time limit placed on the first innings to give each team equal opportunity.

Two-day rules apply, so teams can push for an outright win or a win on the first innings.

Black Caps to play in the tournament include Sir Richard Hadlee, John Wright and Ken Rutherford, and in more recent times Chris Cairns, Stephen Fleming and Brendon McCullum.

Marlborough Cricket Association cricket operations manager Ed Gilhooly

said the tournament was a significant event on the calendar.

“The history of it counts for a lot, and it’s something a lot of the kids look forward to.

“It’s one of the oldest sporting competi-tions, and certainly cricket competi-tions.”

Marlborough play at Horton Park on Monday and Friday, Oliver Park on Tuesday and Wednesday and in Picton on Thursday. The matches will be moved to artificial pitches elsewhere in the event of wet weather.

Marlborough last hosted the tourna-ment in 2003, but the only time they’ve won it was the inaugural edition in 1963. In last year’s edition local batsman Cay-lem Cooke made headlines after scoring a century against West Coast.

R i g h t : F o u r m e m b e r s o f t h e Marlborough team- Back: captain Tom Sutherland and Tom Sloan, and Front: Joel Lavender and Braden Jessop.
