Sun Business Update

Be the envy of your friends with a stylish new haircut by the team at Blush Hairdressing.

Located on Havelock’s Main Street, Blush Hairdressing was first opened five years ago by locals Wendy and Pat Fairweather.

The couple moved to Havelock with their children for a “lifestyle change” and decided to create a new hairdressing business.

“Since the beginning we have been hugely supported by the local community and the business has had really positive growth,” Wendy says.

The salon itself has a spacious and modern look which helps to create a “professional yet comfortable environment”.

“One thing our clients appreciate is how welcoming and casual the salon feels, it helps to put them at ease so they can enjoy their experience with us,” she says.

The driving force behind Blush Hairdressing is its team of professional stylists.

Working alongside Wendy are Kendyl McLean and Tish Robertson.

Kendyl has been hairdressing for seven

ye a r s a nd ha s b e en a t Blush Hair Salon for one year after moving f r o m U r b a n Hair Design in Blenheim, she offers eyelash and eyebrow tinting and shaping.

Tish who i s Havelock born and bred has been hairdressing for six yea rs and also competes and judges at national competitions. Tish most recently won the regional Oceanic ‘Hairdressing Masters Award’ which allowed her to compete in Melbourne.

Blush offers a full range of hairdressing services for all ages and are stockists of Rusk colours and retail products.

Thirty year milestone reached by local health nurse

Continued from Page 1On the second day into the yacht race

(June 4), the 18-man crew was 90 nauti-cal miles from Norfolk Island when the weather had begun to turn for the worst.

“We were getting ready for a bit of a rough night,” said David.

As a wave struck they heard a loud noise.“We saw the crack which was a pretty

good one,” said David.They had to get the sail down and get

the crew into life jackets and ready for the potential of liferafts.

“Half the guys were below deck asleep.”

David said it was hard to say what thoughts were running through his head when it all happened but he said the focus was really just to make sure everyone was ready and doing their jobs.

“Then we had to figure out if we were to keep going, and what our best course of action was.”

They made their way to Norfolk Island and pulled out of the race.

Kingston was the first bay they went to, but there are no marinas on Norfolk Island so the crew had to keep sailing around the island to avoid the wind.

David said a couple of boat builders came out from the island to do repair work on the damaged yacht.

“They did pretty well, big effort from them,” he said.

“They were lucky to get the job done.”We had a couple of days on shore and

then alot of fishing, that’s all we could really do.”

After getting picked up and finally reaching home, David said it was a bit of a relief.

“It’s nice to be off the boat, that’s for sure.”

Relief to be home

Story by Celeste LodewykFlowers, cake and big hugs all round

greeted Blenheim sexual health nurse Rachel Chapman on Monday as she celebrated 30 years working with Fam-ily Planning.

Unbeknown to Rachel, Family Plan-ning chief executive Jackie Edmond had flown in to join in the celebrations which were organised in total secrecy.

“My co-worker must have had kittens when I turned up earlier than expected, I could have spoilt their surprise,” Rachel laughs.

It was the philosophy of “women’s liberation with contraception” that encouraged Jackie to apply for the position, which at first she thought was voluntary.

“I was happy enough with it being voluntary as I really believed in the work that was being done, but finding out it was a paid job was even better and I have been there ever since,” she says.

Starting her position, Jackie recalls being based in the antenatal department of Homedale Hospital, the original maternity home.

When sexual health funding became available in 1991, Rachel was asked to train as a sexual health nurse and went on to work from an old boardroom in the hospital which was refurbished for sexual health.

Family Planning remained there for 10 years before the need to relocate arose as that area was due to be demolished.

Their current location in Seymour Street was found and Family Planning has been there for the past 17 years.

Today, Rachel says there have been a number of advancements for sexual health nurses including training to insert IUD’s and contraceptive implants.

“It’s great to have that independence and it means that our scope of practice has widely broadened,” she says.

Looking back Rachel says there have been both frustrating and rewarding moments, but overall it is something she considers a passion.

inbriefAbortion numbers dropThe number of abortions performed in New Zealand decreased in 2011, Statistics New Zealand said this week. A total of 15,863 induced abortions were performed in New Zealand in 2011, 767 fewer than in 2010.The general abortion rate (abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) decreased from 18.1 per 1,000 in 2010 to 17.3 in 2011. This rate is the lowest since 1995 when it was 16.1 per 1,000. The lower abortion rate indicates that the decrease in the number of abortions was due to fewer women having abortions rather than to changes in the size or age structure of the population.

An old building to come downThe old grain store on Horton St, on the bank of the Opawa River, is being demolished. It was most recently the home to Blenheim Indoor Go Karts.Demolition began yesterday, and is being contracted to Blenheim con-struction company Crafar Crouch.

Story by Celeste LodewykThe advance toward a positive

future for the Renwick Memorial Community Hall, promised by its new committee earlier this year has begun.

Chairman Murray Newman is an-nouncing the committee’s progress to date which includes a design brief highlighting new hall facilities, as well as how a $10,000 Canterbury Community Trust grant, granted to the Renwick School Board of Trustees in 2009 will be spent.

“The community will be consulted shortly to have input into how you see our hall facility operating into the future and what specific facilities you consider important to better meet our community needs.

“The Board was successful in receiving the $10,000 grant specifi-

cally to explore ways in which the hall could be developed to work more effectively and sustainably for the wider Renwick community.

“These funds will now be used to purchase this consultancy to support the hall’s development,” he says.

The committee is also announcing that Justin Fletcher from Redbox Architects has been engaged to take the design brief and prepare a concept plan for consideration by the committee.

“Justin has been instrumental in the Renwick School’s development over the last three years and the committee believes it is important to maintain this link with the school for consistency.

“Once concept plans are confirmed, Justin will be further commissioned

to produce detailed drawings.“The committee is excited about this

process and whilst everyone is keen to see positive changes to the hall facil-ity to better meet our communities needs, we are committed to getting it right so will take our time to ensure any new hall developments will be sustainable and stand the test of time both functionally and operationally,” Murray says.

Renwick Hall begins forward push

Story by Annabelle LatzTwo Marlborough Boys’ College students are

going against the grain of many preconceived ideas of how teenagers think and operate.

Leatham Landon-Lane and Jared Silcock are typical year 13 students, who like to enjoy a good mix of social fun with friends, sport, and some hard work too.

Both boys joined Leo Lions in their early col-lege days, and are currently President and Vice President of the club.

Leo Lions is a group that provides social activi-ties and an involvement in community service for 18 to 30 year-olds.

This week the pair was awarded Leo Lion of the Year for Marlborough/Nelson/West Coast area

“It just seemed like a good thing to do. I realised there were people that needed helping,” said Leatham.

He said involvement with Leo Lions is two-fold; he gets to see how happy people are to receive help, and he gets a buzz out of working with people.

“It showed people that high school students did care about the community and other people.”

Recent projects like planting trees on the Taylor River, putting on a pizza dinner at John’s Kitchen, and helping to deliver bags of fertiliser pamphlets to raise money for the new disabled chairlift at Stadium 2000 were all taken into account.

“Last year we had a really good year, with lots of projects. We had a lot of guys helping.”

Leo Lions is not purely about community service.

“It’s not just about fundraising and hard work. We also have fun nights like going paint balling and ten-pin bowling, and have challenges with the older Lions group. It’s about helping the community and having fun at the same time.”

Jared said they have made a great team with their fundraising efforts.

‘I just really like the community service aspect, and being able to help people out.”

A highlight for Jared has been the firewood raffle, which has helped buy desks and outdoor benches for their school.

“I spent a good couple of hours down at the supermarket selling tickets, and that went really well.”

Jared said once people realised it was school students making an effort for the community, they were happy to help.

He hopes John’s Kitchen will be another suc-cess this year, as it was last year.

“A huge amount of people turn up. It’s really cool to sit down with the people who go there and have a chat.”

Hands willing to help

Jared silcock and leatham landon-lane have been awarded leo lion of the Year for nelson/marlborough/west coast area for their great work in the community.

Craig begins his new role with the company next week.

power switCh Competition working

State Owned Enterprises Minister Tony Ryall says that Kiwis are tak-ing advantage of increased competi-tion between energy companies and are switiching service providers for a cheaper deal.

“It’s not who owns the energy companies that influences prices, but the regulatory environment which the National Government changed to increase competition,” he said.

“Treasury advises that in the 12 months from May 2011 to April 2012, 422,256 customers changed electricity retailers (or an average of 35,188 each month).”

He said the cheapest option is often a private power company.

“Treasury advises there are 21 regions listed on the Consumer Institute’s Powerswitch website.”

“In 14 of these regions the cheap-est electricity company is privately owned, in 1 the cheapest company is owned by a council, and in the other 6 an SOE is cheapest.”

According to the Powerswitch website, the most expensive provid-ers in Marlborough as of June 2012 are Trust Power and Meridian En-ergy, while the cheapest is Contact Energy.

All figures are the latest prices from the Powerswitch website and are based on an average annual consumption for a medium sized household.

The Marlborough numbers are based on electricity useage of 8492 kWh per year.

The figures provide a guide to general trends in electricity prices and the prices displayed are for electricity useage only.

By Robbie ParkesThe team at Mayfield Motors

celebrated some significant milestones on Wednesday night, including their new classing as one of Hyundai’s Elite service providers.

Managing director of the dealership, Sturrock Saunders said the night was about celebration and achievement.

The team at Mayfield Motors have been working with Hyundai NZ for the past 18 months to achieve Mayfield Motors new Elite status.

Hyundai group general manager Michel le Hurley-Scotson spoke on the night and said the Elite status is a significant part of the company’s drive in ensuring future service levels and performance to Hyundai customers.

It’s about keeping a range of disciplines that maintain the consumer experience is kept to a high quality right across the country.

The look and feel of the experience is enhanced with great facilities, products and staff.

“It’s something that we’ve endeavoured to do with Mayfield

Motors from the minute he (Sturrock) took on Hyundai.”

There are now 13 dealers around the country up to this Elite status and the goal is to have all other dealers at this level by the end of this year/early next year, she said.

Mayfield Motors is the only Marlborough retailer and the Elite range make up 54% of the Hyundai network.

She sa id the n ight was recognition for Mayfield that they have reached that Elite status and the importance in delivering that.

Sturrock said the elite status was a collaborative team approach used to achieve Hyundai’s high level of service.

He said they were really proud to be acknowleged by the Hyundai Motor Group.

The night also recognised the branch winning the 2011 Hyundai Best Workplace of the Year.

“We were excited to get a sneak preview of Hyundai’s new i30, which hasn’t been publicly promoted,” said Sturrock.

Hyundai is putting out many innovative products, and is New Zealands fastest growing motor vehicle brand, he said.

By Robbie ParkesA play found amongst the cupboards

of the local drama group will make its debut at the Picton Little Theatre this month, as will its director.

‘Shop for Charity,’ written by Charles Mander, will be directed by newcomer Linda Thompson.

The one-act comedy, written by the Englishman a long time ago, was found by Linda when the theatre group looked to start their next production.

But, the problem was that no-one was available to direct, so Linda, who was originally going to perform in the production took on the director role.

“I do enjoy acting,” she said.“I can’t do both, I’d love to be in it.”

She said apart from a little stress it has been a great experience.

“I would never be able to direct a play in Christchurch, and yet, here you can walk into anything.”

Picton is a very special little com-munity, there’s a lot of support, and they’re getting a lot of theatre goers coming along to their plays.

The play, set in a second-hand cloth-ing store is a bit of a black comedy but it has some relevant messages, said Linda.

It goes for 40 minutes and is preceded by another 40 minute play – Diary of a Madman.

The production will be performed June 28, 29 and 30 at 8 pm.

For a change, wantd to congulate the shop EVOLVE for excellent friendly service.

For different people between both shops were lovely.

PS- they have sum cool stuff.Jen

SCOTT CASE

Why all of this media speculation with regard to the Scott case?

Are the courts and judicial system so inept that we must resort to trial by mob?

Let the court do its job, and focus on reporting that outcome.

We don’t need to muddy the waters with emotive speculation; it’s a human life on trial folks, not a chew toy.

WRONG MINDSET

I think if you go into a store with the mindset that these people are snobs.

They will look me up and down and ignore me, you’ve already set yourself up for a bad experience!

NO TO ALE HOuSE

I agree about the Ale House, we don’t need another pub.

The Springlands Tavern is just around the corner and that doesn’t get busy anymore, so why have another one and force these people out of their houses.

Think about the families in the houses that will have to move, so say no to Ale House.

QuALITy NOT SNObbERy

I’ve always found that this out-standing shop provides outstanding service.

Quality doesn’t mean snobbery.

MOVIE THEATRE

Ever since they changed to pop-corn in the bags.

I take my own to the movies, as I was sick of paying for stale popcorn.

ROWING CREW

Good to see Boys’ College Row-ing Crew raised $100k to get to London. But the NZ govt gave $200k for the Waka to go.

I don’t think that was fair do you?

WOODbuRNERS & OPEN FIRES

So we put our energy needs into one basket. Rather short sided I feel, a wood fire may not be as efficient but will provide a higher heat output than standard domestic units. Pollution? The number of smoke belching vehicles I’ve seen fogging up our streets puts that argument to bed.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum

Government policy

Dear Ed,The one interesting thing about the last election

was the rise in the minor party vote and those who did not vote.

It all adds up to one thing – dissatisfaction with Tweedledee (National) and Tweedledum (Labour).

In my opinion Parliament is better off with NZ First, Winston Peters and his team as a forthright

opposition party against asset sales, ETS and the “Slash and burn” of education etc by this govern-ment.

Do you agree with Winston Peters and NZ First Policies?

Anyone interested to help with a local NZ First Branch give me a call

Mac Miller 578 1149

Dear Ed,So NZ has signed up to some international

agreement giving foreign investors or companies the right to sue NZ taxpayers for compensation for any loss of profits or other losses due to the failures built into government policy?

I challenge anybody to name just one government policy of this past sixty years other than two, which have been ‘Successful” and has not cost all NZ citizens dearly in the end, which still shows no return to justice, health, wealth and wellbeing to kiwi citizens.

Was economic growth in ‘computer games’ first used by USA military to teach new recruiters to shoot to kill then think later

We sit in wide eyed wondering why violence is an issue among NZ youth?

The second successful NZ government policy is the one that can give multiple taxpayer/consumer

funded income streams, privileges, superannuation etc, on retirement to any two person household where the beneficeries had the privileges in the ‘Social Welfare providing jobs” in public services, military, SOE, etc?

An UN report to NZ Government about 10 years ago pointed out the failures built into government policy.

But they decided in the end to continue with those Policies in the hope an even bigger dose of failures would somehow be made to work!

I believe pointing these things out to “The Powers that be”, led another newspaper into a “Human Rights abuse campaign” to out me from Grey Power Marlborough Leadership.

All these are human rights and poverty issues and NZ citizens have no effective Human Rights protection!

Stroke FoundationDear EdRecently Stroke Foundation Southern Region

Inc ran a South Island wide raffle to raise funds to support their field officers in local areas, including Marlborough.

It is with great pleasure that I confirm three of the five major prizes went to the top of the South Island.

The 1st prize went to a Blenheim ticket holder and was sold at Countdown Redwoodtown, 2nd prize to Motueka, 3rd prize to Greymouth, 4th prize to Dunedin and the 5th prize went to a ticket holder in Picton and was sold at the Picton Mall.

I wish to congratulate the two local winners, and thank Marlborough Stroke Club members and volunteers for all their hard work selling the tickets.

Total gross sales was just over $24000.00. Without this support we would not be able

to continue to fund the Field Officer services or resources to the Stroke affected community that we do at present.

Thank you Marlborough you have done us proud again.

Fast, convenient, affordable, and a limited time no joining fee promotion, that is what Snap Fitness 24-7 is offering the Blenheim public!!The brand new Snap Fitness gym will be opening at 73 Grove Road on the 7th of July and is ready to cater to the needs of people from all walks of life. Offering a 24-hour service, top-of-the-range Matrix exercise equipment designed in the USA, friendly local staff and a clean exercising environment, Snap Fitness is ready to provide you with a top quality work out.

With no joining fee for a limited time only, people are being

encouraged to get started now and

take advantage of this limited offer. Kaikoura-based Snap Fitness New Zealand owner Korey

Gibson says the population and

the large sporting community within

Blenheim provides an ideal environment for Snap Fitness to come to town. Korey also knows there are many shift workers in Blenheim, so opening Snap Fitness 24-7 in Blenheim is not a `snap’ decision. People are able to come and

work out at any time of the day or night.

The gym joins a fairly competitive gym industry but being open 24 hours a day, and Blenheim having a population that likes to take care of themselves, Korey is confident no one will miss out. ``There’s enough population for all health clubs in Blenheim”.

``It shows that people want to exercise in Blenheim, and we believe our local staff have the know-how to help their fellow Blenheim mates’’ he says.

Snap Fitness 24-7 offers month-to-monthmemberships with a no-stress, no-pressure, no long term contract memberships.

Woodend GardensPrivate Garden Wedding Venue

151 Rowley CresGrovetown

Ph 578 9070

Many families, tourists and members of the community have for years enjoyed the beauty of Woodend Gardens in Rowley Crescent.

Whether it has been for wedding ceremo-nies, charitable events or tours, Woodend Gardens is well renowned as an iconic part of Marlborough’s garden scene.

Now becoming part of its history is new owners Margaret and Brian Herd who have purchased the property from Sue and

Graeme Wallace.The official take over date is June 29.Woodend Gardens was transformed from

bare paddocks into a stunning garden around 20 years ago, quickly gaining a lot of popularity amongst both locals and tourists.

In 2007 it was purchased by Sue and Graeme.

“We technically took over a business as the gardens were originally one of the first to be nationally recognised and there

were regular bus tours and tourists coming through.

“Eventually we opted to close the gardens to public access but still offered it as a wedding venue, and we are pleased that this will be continued with Margaret and Brian,” Sue says.

A year into owning the property Sue and Graeme set about establishing 3.6 hectares of sauvignon blanc grapes, a major draw card for new owners Margaret and Brian.

Brian is the great grandson of David Herd who was Marlborough’s first winemaker.

“It has always been a plan of mine to grow my own grapes so I am thrilled to now have the opportunity,” Brian says.

Woodend Gardens will continue to be available as a wedding venue, says Mar-garet.

“We will also continue supporting local charitable events such as Daffodil Day, so enquiries are welcome.”

INSTANT DELIGHT• Gardens can look their worst right now, which is what makes pansies, polyanthus, calendulas, cinerarias and Iceland poppies such a treat for the winter weary.• At this time of year, plant these annuals in borders or fill a selection of containers - suddenly your land-scape is ablaze with violet, orange, yellow and gold.• Pansies are a favourite. Because they are low to the ground, they make excellent edgings for paths and borders, and they’re great for window boxes too.• Polyanthus pack a punch in the winter garden too, flowering over many months right up until about November.• They come in multiple colours, as well as single or double blooms. They’re as at home in containers as they are in the garden, but dig in compost and blood and bone for good results.• Polys like sun or semi-shade but their main require-ment is moisture. Like pansies, you can bring them inside in pots, but keep them in a cool spot away from heaters.• Iceland poppies flower throughout winter and early spring. Those huge hairy buds open to reveal crinkly petals in pastel shades or riotous colours.• These are great flowers for indoor displays but when picking them for bouquets make sure you plunge the cut ends of the stems into boiling water or sear with a flame to prevent the sap oozing out.

Go to it - buy these cheap and cheerful flowering annuals!

People logging alongside public conser-vation land must ensure they do not cross the boundary and illegally fell trees in conservation areas, says the Department of Conservation.

The DOC reminder follows its prosecu-tion of the then owner of a Pelorus Valley property and a logging contractor for illegal felling last year of approximately 40 mature native beech trees on neighbouring Mount Richmond Forest Park land.

The forest park trees had been felled when beech trees were being logged during August and September 2011 as part of a sustainable logging permit on private land the woman owned at the time.

The landowner and the contractor had two charges of breaching the Conservation Act 1987 laid against them, for taking plants from and damaging natural features in a conservation area. The Department, after considering the circumstances of the particular offending, determined the public interest would be best served by the matter being dealt with by diversion.

They were required to accept responsibility for their actions and apologise in writing and pay $20,000 restitution for the felled forest park trees which is being used to support Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society habitat restoration in the area. A further $3000 was paid for the cost of the DOC investigation. The charges were withdrawn on completion of the terms of the diversion agreement.

DOC Sounds Area Manager Roy Grose said the case high-lighted the need for neighbouring landowners to confirm boundaries before-hand to ensure logging on their land does not encroach onto public conservation land.

‘We accept the logging of beech trees in Mount Richmond Forest Park in this case was not deliberate and occurred due to misunderstanding where the boundary lay.

‘Boundaries though should be confirmed before logging takes place to prevent

encroachment and there is good GPS technology available to enable this.

‘Native forest on public conservation land belongs to all New Zealanders and is intended to be preserved in its natural state for the enjoyment and benefit of all New Zealanders. We take very seriously the illegal felling of trees in these public areas and people who do so are liable to be prosecuted.’

By Annabelle LatzLocal annual bull sales left local bull breeders happy. On Monday Taimate annual Angus bull sale enjoyed a

very good clearance rate, with 38 of its 41 bulls being sold.“Prices were up on last year, so we were pleased with that,”

said Paul Hickman, who runs Taimate with his father Ossie.The highest price bull went for $9500, and the average

price was $4300.Paul said it reflected a season of heaps of grass and

everyone being really happy.“The outlook for farming is very positive.”Arnold van Asch had eight South Devon bulls for sale

at Taimate.Prices were stronger for him too, with the top bull selling

for $7200. Five of his eight bulls sold; to breeders from Te Anau all

the way north to Hawke’s Bay. Arnold, who has been breeding South Devons for 40

years, said they are not used extensively in Marlborough, but he was happy to pick up a couple of new clients at this year’s sale.

“They have a great temperament, they are very quiet cattle, and when they are crossed with Angus they give good heavier calves.”

On Tuesday Jimmy and Becky Murray at Matariki Her-eford Stud, in the Clarence Valley, had their annual bull sale.

“We had the most awesome sale,” said Becky.They sold all 44 bulls, with the top sale of $15,000. The average price for their Hereford this year was $7111,

compared to last year’s average price of $5800.“There is a wee swing back to Hereford this year. And we

have clients that support us year in year out.”The Matariki sale was held in conjunction with Clarence

Valley’s John and Robyn Murray’s Woodbank Angus bull sale.

The average price for the 55 bulls sold was $7018, with the record highest price of $34,000.

“It was a very strong sale,” said John.He said strong bull sales reflect well in the beef cow industry,

and should mean an ability to maintain cow numbers in Marlborough too.

“It’s very encouraging for calf sales.”John was pleased to see a lot of his bulls being sold locally.“Farming is still strong and positive.”

There was a strong buyers market at the 49th annual bull sale at River-lands in Blenheim on Monday.

There were 18 bulls up for sale, and overall prices were strong.

“Everyone saw a lift in their aver-ages this year,” said Peter Barnes, PGG Wrightson livestock manager.

An Angus bull from Brackenfield Stud sold the top selling bull for $7500, bred by Andy and Michelle Peter of Dashwood.

Brackenfield had 10 bulls at the sale, with an average return of $5160.

There were six Waterfall Angus bulls bred by Charles and Clare Waddy of Seddon, with an average return of $4400.

Two Blacknight Angus bulls bred by Ben and Nadine Maisey of Rai Valley were at the sale, which sold for $4000 and $3700.

Commenting on the sales at Taimate, Ma-tariki, and Riverlands, Peter said there was an excellent clearance rate.

“In general, the outlook for beef is positive.

We are seeing a strong demand for progeny for finishing properties.”

Peter said calf prices have been good, follow-ing a favourable spring, summer and autumn, providing a strong predecessor for the bull sale season.

“There has been a lot of investment from bull breeders allowing for good genetics. They are prepared to front up and pay the money for the bulls.”

Bull buyers prepared to pay

Jimmy Murray says everything is on good form for next Tuesday's Matariki Hereford Bull Sale, Clarence Valley.

By Robbie ParkesThe Springlands School hall was packed out with

eager entrepreneurs on Wednesday afternoon, when students held their very own market day.

Host to a range of businesses, the Totara Syndi-cate (year five and six students) Market Day saw the children bring their ideas to life.

Kids came up with their own concepts and the stalls ranged from selling lamingtons to recycled paper bracelets and necklaces.

“Basically the children chose what they wanted to pursue,” said teacher Michael Stringer.

Michael coordinated the day and said the kids have been learning a lot about business over the term.

“We’ve had an entrepreneurial enterprise term,” he said.

“Through that we’ve been teaching how to run your own business.”

The children have been going through the pro-cesses of developing a profitable business to help raise money for their school camp.

Michael said the students have learnt about as-pects such as research, advertising and packaging.

“Today’s a celebration of all that learning and

FRIDAY FACT:Who are the kings

• Have you ever wondered who the kings are in a deck of cards are?

• The court deck was devel-oped in Western Europe in the 16 century and eventually the representations were standard-ized to represent great rulers from history.

• Although the practice of naming cards ended in the 16th century the names have stuck

and the cards are still consid-ered to represent the four great rulers of history.

• Charlemagne, otherwise called ‘Charles the Great’ represents the King of Hearts.

• The King of diamonds represents Julius Caesar.

• Alexander the Great repre-sents the King of Clubs.

• Israel’s King David repre-sents the King of Spades.

Story and photo by Annabelle LatzLeatham Landon-Lane’s face is a

familiar one amongst Marlborough’s sports scene.

He loves off road sport the most, describing it as a mix of adventure and competition.

In cycling, Leatham is also training for the National School Road Race Nationals later this year in Manawatu, hoping for a good team result, as they finished ninth last year.

Leatham makes for strong competition in duathlons at national age group level, and came second in this year’s school cross country for his year level.

He conceded this year’s sport started off slowly, hindered by a broken wrist, which he suffered playing cricket last summer.

He plays cricket for Renwick, which had its first season in Senior Grade last summer.

“We had one win. We showed we were not useless, and we scared a few teams.”

Leatham is usually amongst the top ranks for a bowling choice.

“Call me medium pace with a grunt. I try to bowl fast; I give it everything I can.”

Leatham is pleased with the way things are looking at Marlborough Boys’ College at the moment.

The modest softly spoken 17 year-old teenager from Waihopai Valley sits comfortably with a pile of science text

books in front of him.In the middle of his final year at College,

he is enjoying his Prefect role as Head Academic.

Leatham said there is a good group of student tutors this year.

“It’s good to see that people are prepared to give up their time. I’m pretty impressed with how the school is improving, every-one is chipping in.”

Leatham has seen a change in the at-titude of Marlborough Boys’ students.

“It’s a better place. It’s not uncool to try hard and to want to learn.”

Leatham dedicates a generous amount of time to his studies.

“I enjoy investigating things. If I see something that’s interesting, I’ll try and find something out about it for myself.”

He wants to study Engineering at Uni-versity of Canterbury next year.

“I’d like to be a researcher, that’s what I enjoy most.”

Leatham is entering this year’s science fair with his 15 year-old brother Piers.

They want to make grapes ripen faster, experimenting with Sauvignon Blanc grapes on their family vineyard.

“We got some good results.”For his young years, Leatham has things

fairly well sussed.“I’m enjoying my cycling and everything

a lot. I’m not too worried about results, it’s just having fun.”

Perfectly balanced

leatham landon-lane is as well known on the sports field as he is on the bike track, or helping out in the community.

By Robbie ParkesMissing out on their 21st celebra-

tions last year, the Marlborough Womens’ Lawn Bowls Past Presi-dents’ Association held a lunch-eon on Tuesday to commemorate their 22nd year.

After going over the books, the group realised that they had in fact reached that significant milestone last year.

“If we had realised it was our 21st year, we would have done it last year,” said Maggie McNulty, secretary of the association.

Maggie said to qualify for the group you have to have been a past president of a lawn bowls club.

“We were all in our different clubs at some stage.”

The luncheon, held at Fair-weathers celebrated the milestone but also recognised three women who had been at the very first meeting back on June 21, 1990.

Mary Gibbons, Betty Laird and Eleanor Pickford had been attending the groups monthly meetings between May and Sep-tember (and their Christmas get

Twenty-two years and still going strong

together) for 22 years.She said the association really is

about the social side of the sport, but old stories do come out of the woodwork every once in a while.

“A lot of those ones have got many championships under their belts.”

“There’s too many (titles) to

name.”It’s just friendly and it helps to

keep in touch with those who are falling by the wayside, said Maggie.

“This is just another side of bowls.”

Around half of the members are still active in the sport, playing at

their respective grounds.“The years of bowls have gone

for a lot of people.”They all still love the sport and

despite not currently playing, Maggie is still active in the clubrooms and is looking to maybe return to the green for a game or two.

past lawn bowls presidents eleanor pickford, hazel Voorbergen (current president of the association), mary gibbons and betty laird. eleanor, mary and betty were all at the groups first meeting 22 years ago.
