Surrey Street residents Kris Poultney, Karen Sciascia, David Jones, Barry Hammond and Yvonne Hammond are concerned about plans for a new sewage pumping station near their homes.

By Kristy MartinA group of Picton residents are up in arms

about a council proposal to build a seven-metre high sewage pumping station on their street.

The Surrey Street residents are worried about pollution and say the ‘eyesore’ will devalue their properties and block their views of the Picton marina.

Continued from page 1While there is already a small, 16m sq pump station on

the site, the redevelopment – part of an upgrade to the whole Picton and Waikawa sewerage system - would see the existing building replaced with a new 170m sq station.

Residents were first notified back in October 2013, when Marlborough District Council wrote to them outlining the plan.

“Potential issues that may be of concern to neighbours … include visual effects, noise and odour,” the letter said.

“The ground level at the site will be raised to avoid flooding, which will as a result raise buildings and other structures above street level. ”

It said landscaping would ‘soften’ the appearance of the new facility and measures would be taken to control noise and odour.

But Barry and Yvonne Hammond, who are leading the opposition, are not convinced.

“They are going to be pumping the storm water overflow into the creek,” Mr Hammond said.

“They are also going to be running standby diesel generators, so god knows what noise that will make.

“We’ve asked around Picton and no one seems to know this is happening.”

Karen Sciascia, whose property is next-door to the development, said she was worried about the devaluation of her house, but also didn’t want to lose the reserve.

“People walk through here every day and there is wildlife here.

“The kids play in the creek and all the tourists from the holiday park walk through here.

“It’s going to be an eyesore for tourists as well, not just for us.”

The upset residents have all put in written submissions to council and are proposing an alternative venue, under the hill in Memorial Park and beside the Coastguard and St John building.

This would move the development about 150 metres from their street.

“If the pump station was situated further away by the hill in Memorial Park there is the possibility of having overflow tanks instead of discharge going into public streams and (the) marina,” said resident Kris Poultney.

She says council told residents at a meeting last year that the land was “more stable” in Memorial Park and the only objection was that it would be further to run the pipes.

Council documents state that generators were chosen for the Surrey Street site because an appropriately-sized overflow tank would be expensive and required a large area of land which cannot be built over.

Marlborough District Council has yet to respond to questions from the Sun.

Residents outraged over sewage proposal

Just one of Dennis Hall’s giant tomatoes could feed him breakfast for a month.

The Blenheim man enjoys sliced tomato on toast, but his tomatoes are so huge he has had to start sharing them with friends and neighbours.

Mr Hall, 67, yesterday plucked a one kilogram tomato from the patch in his Andrew Place yard and said it was the biggest he’d ever seen.

“I’ve been growing tomatoes for

ten to 15 years and these are the biggest I’ve had.

“Some friends came round this morning to take a look and just said ‘Christ.’

“About two years ago we didn’t get the sunshine we usually do and my tomatoes didn’t even ripen.

“I had to make green chutney out of them.

“It’ll be interesting to see what they grow like next year.

“I reckon they’ll be even bigger.”

Six chargeS for Stealing

Picton Police have recovered a wide range of stolen property after executing a search warrant on a local address on Tuesday.

A 44-year-old male resident has been charged with two counts of burglary and four counts of theft and remanded in custody.

Sergeant Kris Payne said all of the offending occurred in the last five weeks.

He said investigations were con-tinuing and further charges could be laid.

SunThe

aSSault chargeA 53-year-old male labourer was

arrested in Kaikoura overnight on Wednesday for assaults with intent to injure.

He was bailed to appear in the Kaikoura Court on February 28.

SeriouS injurieSTwo men were taken to Wairau

Hospital yesterday, one with serious injuries, after three-vehicle crash on the corner of New Renwick and Brancott roads.

A male in his mid-40s suffered serious facial and chest injuries, while a male in his mid-30s from the same vehicle suffered moderate facial and abdominal injuries.

None of the persons from the two other vehicles involved were injured.

The accident was attended by two ambulance crews from St John.

By Kristy MartinTwo vineyard workers will

face court next week after being arrested for break-ins at Z Energy and Countdown in Redwood-town.

Police thanked members of the public for helping to identify the offenders, aged 24 and 37, who used hammers to smash their way into both businesses over two days.

The raids happened in the early hours of Monday and about 11.30pm on Tuesday.

Both men were charged with the Z break-in and the 24-year-old was further charged with the

Countdown burglary.In the attack on Countdown,

on Weld Street, a window was smashed and three bottles of wine and two pizzas stolen.

Police said a hammer had been used to smash the window, which was similar to the incident at Z Energy, on Scott Street, the previous day.

Both offenders were caught on CCTV camera after making their way inside the Z petrol station.

They fled empty handed after a failed attempt to get into a cigarette cabinet.

The vineyard workers were arrested on Weld Street just after

5.30pm on Wednesday. Sergeant Jason Munro said the

arrests came as a result of infor-mation received from members of the public who recognised the pair on the security footage released by Police.

“We’re very grateful to those members of the public who came forward with information,” he said.

“Their assistance has enabled us to resolve two offences very quickly and will hopefully pre-vent further offending.”

Both were held in custody and are due to face court on Monday.

By Kristy MartinBlenheim woodworker Kevin Vale is carving

out a name for himself in the unique field of intarsia.

Intarsia is a form of wood laying that is similar to marquetry.

Mr Vale, a member of the Marlborough Guild of Woodworkers, has just finished his latest masterpiece, titled Guarding the Cubs.

It took him three years to complete, on and off.“I bought the design of the tiger from a lady in

America and put the rest of it together myself.”Each piece has been cut individually with a

scroll saw in Mr Vale’s garage workshop and then glued to a backing board.

Because the parts must fit together perfectly, the margin of error is very small.

Only natural timber is used, with no painting

or staining involved, and different varieties of wood are used to create the different colours.

Mr Vale is completely self-taught when it comes to woodwork and intarsia, an art form that he says died out many years ago.

“When I first started doing it, I went down to the timber yard and they guy said, ‘What type of wood do you want?’ and I said, ‘I want some red and some brown’.

“I don’t know anyone else who buys wood by the colour,” he laughed.

“The first piece (of intarsia) I saw was in Australia.

“I went into a shop that sells woodworking gear and I saw this little gecko on the wall just as I was leaving.

“I said, ‘How the hell do they do that?’“The guy told me you need a scroll saw and

a drawing.”Instantly, he was hooked.Mr Vale has created hundreds of works over

the years, including an image of 26 African animals made from 40 different types of wood.

Most pieces are sold, but some remain on show in the 73-year-old’s house.

He teaches other woodworkers how to do intarsia, but says you won’t find many others who practice it.

“I think there are a couple of others in the North Island who do this sort of work.”

As he finds the drawing aspect the most chal-lenging, Mr Vale is looking for an illustrator to create some designs for him.

“I’m not very good at drawing, so I’d love to find someone who could draw me some Aussie animals.”

Hosing restrictions have been imposed in Renwick with a warning that some properties are at risk of running out of water if restrictions are not observed.

Council’s Operations and Maintenance Engineer Stephen Rooney says the amount of water currently being used coupled with the low aquifer levels in Renwick means that, from yesterday, hosing gardens must be limited to alternate days only.

Properties with even-numbered street addresses may use sprinklers only on even-numbered cal-endar days and those with odd-numbered street address are restricted to the odd-numbered days.

There is no restriction on hand-held hoses but residents are asked to be sensible and keep this to a minimum

Only one tap should be used at a time to run a sprinkler or sprinkler systems.

The restrictions will be in place until further notice.

By Adam PoulopoulosA WWI engine re-created in Blenheim

whirred into life yesterday in a launch celebrating its completion.

The 100 horsepower gnome monosou-pape engine, created by the Classic Aero Machining Service, was on display at Omaka yesterday.

The engine has been purchased by the Australian Vintage Aviation Society.

The engine was built from scratch, taking about 15 months to complete.

The construction process included mak-ing the individual parts from the original WWI engine, and putting them into a

working model. Project director Tony Wytenberg said

he hoped more re-creations would be on the way.

“That’s the first of many I hope. I’m hop-ing to build in batches of five!”

He said the engine would not leave New Zealand until it had been re-tested, taken apart and put back together with the modifications.

Australian Vintage Aviation Society Andrew Carter was impressed with his purchase.

“What we see here is truly amazing - a helluvan achievement.”

Mr Carter said restrictions on making engines in Australia was a factor in pur-chasing Wytenburg’s creation.

He said Tony and his team had captured the essence of the engine.

“It’s a visceral experience. You need to be able to hear, see and smell the engine. It’s unique.”

Mayor Alistair Sowman said it was a “special moment” for Marlborough.

He said the engine highlighted a growing industry in the region.

The engine will be on display again at the Omaka Heritage Centre Open Day on Sunday March 9.

By Adam Poulopoulos Marlborough’s wine tourist

numbers are higher than those of any other wine-producing region in New Zealand, ac-cording to a new survey.

The research from Tour-ism New Zealand shows Marlborough has attracted an average of 47000 wine tourists from 2009-2013.

Auckland attracted the most wine tourists, with an average of 95000, while the Hawkes Bay was the next best wine-producing region with 36000 visitors.

Giesen Wines brand and hospitality manager Roscoe Johanson said the winery was the busiest it has been this summer since opening three years ago.

“We’ve had pretty much solid growth since we opened.

“It’s exciting for Marlborough, with more tourists coming into the market.”

Mr Johanson said Giesen would remain open during winter, and he was confident visitor numbers would stay strong.

He said about 60 per cent of their clients were international tourists.

Destination Marlborough general manager Tracy John-ston said tourists were doing more than just sample the region’s wine, and that was helping attract more people to the vineyards.

“The beauty of Marlborough is we have a depth of experi-ence that goes beyond wine-

tasting. “Twenty per cent of New

Zealand’s coastline is in Marlborough, and we’re get-ting increasing recommenda-tions for the Queen Charlotte Track as a walking and cycling

experience.” She said events like the Forest

Grape Ride and the St Clair Half Marathon effectively combined the natural environ-ment with the food and wine sector.

It’s the end of an era for The Blue Door Trust tomorrow as they move into their new Seymour Street premises.

They shift into the old Guthrie Bowron building today after ten years in Charles Street.

Chairwoman Sue Duckworth said it was exciting to be moving to a more high-profile site.

“We hope people remember us.“It seems it was a good time to

do it. It was a real leap of faith.” She said it was the same size as

the current site, but they would be gaining space, as half of the Charles Street size was for storage.

The official opening is being held this morning at 11:30.

SEddoN alarM

re. noisy seddon alarms - oh my! do you expect emergency services to call each fire fighter individually? if your house is on fire they dont have time for that crap! by the time the last guy/girl gets a call, ya house has turned to ash, 1 alarm that lets everyone know at the same time works better....make some noise at nap time (eg turn the radio up, mow lawns outside the bedroom) then your baby will learn to sleep through anything! simple aye?

Noisy siren..that noise is to call the volunteers to the station. they come to that call 24/7.. i bet if it was your house on fire u would be glad to hear that noise.. They do care u dont see or hear them whinging..CLAIRE. a proud wife of my volunteer..

n reply to noisy siren in seddon. This alerts the fire brigade to an emergency. Far quicker than ringing around looking for a crew. It is a valuable asset to the community. Member of seddon com-munity

Amused by narrow minded seddon resident complaining about “noisy seddon alarm”. A “simple phone call to emergency services will do.” That would require a simple phone call to 11 separate emergency personnal who are possibly asleep and may not hear a phone call or time is wasted trying to contact people out of the district. I hope your house doesn’t catch fire or your family have an accident or medical crisis where time is critical! I think those who authorised the siren have thought of the whole community by providing the resources for Seddon to a volunteer fire brigade. Keep up the good work SVFB.

I know its annoying to hear fire alarms but if u have any issues go to your local fire chief and he or she will give u info as required.

Dear Ed,With regard to ‘Pathway causes angst in the

community’.I don’t have a dog, but do use this area at times.

The article featured is reminiscent of the pedes-trian/ courtesy crossing saga.

People in these stories need to just be a bit more understanding.

I have to give way to dogs and dog owners. It is funny having a dog off its lead, in this great, big, grassy, exciting area and it being predominantly on the path.

The story of Blenheim seems to be that pe-destrians are inconsiderate to drivers, who are inconsiderate to cyclists, who are inconsiderate to dog owners, who probably piss off pedestrians.

I personally have to expect for drivers to knock me down on my bike; for pedestrians to walk out without looking while in my car; I expect dogs and their owners to dominate the whole width of the walkway when I’m out running. It’s just how it goes in this crazy little town where the people who can’t share moan.

Must say the tracks and walkways around here are brilliant.

You can get from Riverlands to the Taylor Dam by track and only cross the road once, from there you can get to Clubs Marlborough without touching the road at all.

A real credit to the MDC, and to me it’s almost worth my annual rates. Kudos.

Happily cynical,Sorry to stereotype,JJ Holland

A bit more understanding...

Dear Ed,I would like to say a big thank you to the guys

and girls at the Green Waste facility. They are always willing to help if I need a hand

to empty the fadge over the precipice.Thank you again.Clarkie

Great green waste

Sugary drinks will be removed from the hos-pital cafes in Marlborough and Nelson under a new healthy eating policy by the District Health Board.

A change in the Healthy Eating Policy for staff and visitors has meant that sugar sweetened drinks such as soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks and flavoured milk will no longer be sold at the hospital cafes in Nelson and Wairau hospitals after March 17.

“The DHB and hospitals are role models for the community when it comes to healthy food policies and practices,”said Nelson Marlborough DHB chief executive Chris Fleming.

“One way to achieve this is to provide an environment that makes the healthy choice the easy choice.”

Q What is your favourite food?

Q What makes you smile?

My hubby he’s a bit of a joker, he always makes me smile.

Q What’s your pet hate?

Smoking, because I’ve seen the effect it’s had on my dad’s health.

Q Your favoured holiday destination?

Venice. We had a lovely surprise break there some years ago and I’d love to go back.

Q What’s your favourite music?

At the moment I keep play-ing John Newman’s (singer with Rudimental) debut solo Album, Tribute. He’s got a very soulful voice, it’s amazing.

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

Most weekdays I’m up with the larks with a group of ladies walking the Withers. It’s a lovely start to the day. We’re planning to walk the Nydia track.

Q What’s next on your wish list?

We’re planning a visit back to England next year to see the family via somewhere hot and dry!

Q A saying you like to live by?

Treat people the way you like to be treated.

New Zealand Lamb and Yorkshire pudding.

My mum and dad, I haven’t seen them for four years, so we’ve got some catching up to do. Mum could cook a roast.

Who would you invite to dinner?

A Marlborough-based cookbook author will be demonstrating how to make “real food for real people” at the Farmers’ Market this Sunday.

Jan Bilton will be arriving at the market on Maxwell Road at 10:30 am, with the demonstra-tion set to go for about half an hour.

She will be using only ingredients from the market for the demonstration.

She said the market gave people a chance to experiment with new ingredients.

“It provides a great opportunity to try new products such as artisan goat’s cheese, unusual preserves and hand-crafted breads plus the best of locally-grown produce.

Everything is so fresh and therefore chock-full of goodness!”

Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk

History is worth preserving and that is what Ra Nui Wines owner Steve Hotchin has done with one particular historic cottage located on his Cob Cottage Vineyard in Riverlands.The cottage is well over a cen-tury old and is called the Maid’s Quarters. It was originally built at the nearby Pepper Tree farm and housed the maids who worked in the Edwardian-Villa house built in 1901.It was then moved over from Pepper Tree farm to where it stands now and was converted into a woolshed by the farmer who

owned the land.Over time, around 90 years, it slowly deteriorated until 10 years ago when Steve purchased the property from the late Geoff Hocquard.“Some suggested I just knock it down, it was in poor condition but I decided to keep it and restore it back to a cottage,” he said.Steve replaced the dilapidated floors with wood from the Old Nurses Home on Hospital Road, and rebuilt the walls with recycled rimu. Steve had insulation added to retain warmth in the cottage and placed several ‘vintage’ pieces of furniture to further add character.

“It’s rustic and I love it.“Here at Ra Nui we place a lot of emphasis on recycling, so this has been a pleasure to do,” he grinned.A hint of the vineyard’s wine in-fluence features subtly throughout the cottage with original ‘grape pods’ used to harvest grapes and ‘retired’ wine barrels stacked against one outer wall.The cottage is predominantly used by Steve and his family but on occasions he hosts private wine tastings for Ra Nui Wines.“The view is great, overlooking the vineyard and surrounding hills and it’s relaxing to sit and relax with a glass of wine,” he said.

Ra Nui Wines Cob Cottage Vineyard owner Steve Hotchin restored the historic ‘Maid’s Quarters’ cottage when he purchased the property 10 years ago.

At the beginning of January this year Chris and Julia took over the Snack Shack Riverlands, giving it a healthy injection of warmth and personality.

It's fair to say the Riverlands Indus-trial Estate community has embraced the new ownership, voting with their feet and giving the Snack Shack a very busy first couple of months.

Some changes to the menu have been met with enthusiasm such as their popular American Hotdogs.

"A couple of times there has been arguments over the last hotdog", says Julie with the same beaming smile that greets her customers when they visit.

CPR Coffee has also been intro-duced, and Chris and Julie are in the process of securing a deal for some popular treats yet to be enjoyed in Marlborough.

The developments don't stop there however.

There will soon be a paved outdoor courtyard for patrons to enjoy their food el fresco.

All the favourites are still there such as daily fresh sandwiches and rolls, and of course pies, sausage rolls and hot chips.

The Snack Shack Riverlands is definitely worth a visit.

Snack Shack an instant hit

Rich in wine growing, farmland and industrial business, Riverlands plays an important part in Marlborough’s economy.For those simply travelling through Riverlands along State Highway 1, there is plenty to see and do from sightseeing through to visiting historic landmarks, such as Cob Cottage.But for those living in Marlborough Riverlands services many industries including transport, automo-tive, boating, hospitality and building to name a few.Turning off the main highway into Sheffield Street, Riverlands Sandblasting and Painting offers a wide range of preparations and finishes for anything from small ‘one-off’ items through to larger jobs such as structural steel, truck and trailers, and of course their own products.Bristol Street is the home of Norski Fibreglass Products, a small but innovative company that manufactures a wide range of specialized composite products, and carries out repairs on all number of things made from fibreglass.Next time you are wanting something custom manu-factured or resins and glues for your DIY project, call in and see the team.Also on Bristol Street is Cantwell Joinery and Window Centre where Ian Cantwell and his team specialise in designing and manufacturing Mastercraft Kitchens.They can cater for any budget and manufacture kitchens for the house, holiday home, apartments and even commercial buildings.

By Glenise DreaverAt the recent meeting of

the Picton Regional Forum, community representatives were told that the first spade for the redevelopment of Up-per High Street should be in the ground soon after Easter.

“This has been fifteen years in the planning,” said Councillor David Oddie, adding that when the latest concept was first discussed with council staff there had been some amusement.

“I said that we wanted to do this, but we didn’t want to be rated for it.”

In the event, the $385,000 allocated to the work had been drawn from the foot-paths budget and other sources, reserves and there should be little, if any, cost to local ratepayers, he said.

Consultation with affected parties and the public gener-ally will continue through March , and “give or take a few alterations”, work should start soon after that. “Huge consultation has, of course, already been done,”

he added. The development would

mimic the work already done in Lower High Street.

Paving is planned on the mall side, creating a rest area and planter boxes will be used for beautification said Cr Oddie, “and there will be some slight improvements to the median strip”.

Picton Business group chair Graham Gosling re-minded the meeting of the traffic problems caused by the pedestrian crossing from the area to the BNZ and it raised the question of whether it should be there.

The possible fate of the current doctors’ surgery and the library were also discussed and it was agreed that this was another part of the picture.

Discontent with the pol-larded plane trees lining the street, and the desirability of more indigenous planting, was also discussed.

Ian Shapcott, Te Atiawa’s representative at the forum, pointed out that this was part of a much larger discussion.

“That includes ensuring plants have the correct habitat and that we are also retaining biodiversity. “

Street makeover

This plan is subject to consideration.

Marlborough Mayor Alistair Sowman itends to make a submission to the govern-ment over its legal highs legislation and he urges others to do so.

“The government has completely missed the point in its approach to legal highs – communities like ours want these products banned, not just controlled,” he said.

A consultation paper on Regulations to the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 asked for feedback on the regulatory pow-ers provided to control the psychoactive substance market.

Marlborough councillors have already publicly expressed their concern that the act left them with inadequate power to

manage a local regime to control the sale of legal highs.

Some councillors were angry about the position they’d been placed in, said Mr Sowman.

“We think it’s wrong that as local coun-cillors we’re being expected to create a regime to cover the sale of a product which we don’t want to see sold in our town.”

Govt ‘wrong on legal highs’

By Adam Poulopoulos The long-standing ten-

n i s r iva l r y b e t we en Marlborough Boys Col-lege and Nelson College is to resume next week in Blenheim.

The Tasman Second-ary School Boys Tennis Champs take place on Mon-day at the Marlborough Tennis Centre, with war-mups beginning at 8:30am.

The winner of the one-day tournament will earn the right to play at the South Island Secondary School

Championships in Timaru next month.

Marlborough Boys are sending two teams of four for the event.

About 10 secondary school teams from the top of the South Island will gather for the day, but it is Nelson College’s arrival that the Marlborough Boys teams are looking forward to.

Marlborough Boys lost to Nelson College on count-back last year, while Nelson have beaten Marlborough Boys in the final for the past

four years. To add fuel to the fire the

annual Marlborough Boys College-Nelson College sports exchange is on the same day.

Marlborough Boys tennis manager Alex Van Der Velden said both teams were always strong, and he hoped the school could go one better this year.

The Girls Tennis Champs are on in Nelson today. Marlborough Girls College have sent representatives over for the event.

Paintball Against All Odds Paintball is

preparing for a big weekend as it hosts the Marlborough Woodsball Cup on Sunday.

The field walk begins at 8am, with games commencing at 9am.

Teams from Nelson and Christch-urch will be coming to Blenheim for the event.

Games of capture the flag and attack and defend will be played.

Teams of five, with two subs, are encouraged to enter.

sports talk

By Adam Poulopoulos Just under 3 months since the All

Blacks beat Ireland in that thrilling Dublin test, the rugby’s back again.

Yes, the sun may still be shining and it may not be ideal weather for rugby, but it is our national game after all.

After Tasman’s triumphant ITM Cup season last year there are nine Makos players either contracted to franchises or in their wider train-ing squads.

The problem is, they’re scattered all around the country.

The strength of the Crusad-ers was highlighted as all four divisions of the ITM Cup and Heartland Championship were won by teams within the region.

There are 19 current or former All Blacks in the Crusaders’ squad, so spaces for new blood in the red and black jersey were pretty scarce.

Tasman has two reps. One is midfielder Kieron Fonotia, who has performed well in pre-season despite only making the wider training group.

The second is a more intrigu-ing selection. Nemani Nadolo, a Fijian-born, 130kg winger, has just arrived in the country after finishing his playing commitments in Japan.

Assistant coach Aaron Mauger said Nadolo wouldn’t be ready to play for about a month as he gets over injury niggles and learns the

team structures. Coach Todd Blackadder has

compared Nadolo with Jonah Lomu and the 26-year-old has some famous family too. He is the cousin of Tevita Kuridrani and Lote Tuqiri, so all signs point to an excitement machine.

Elsewhere, Makos standouts like James Lowe, Liam Squire and Marty Banks have been rewarded with their first contract, but veteran Quentin MacDonald has not been picked up.

Tonight, the Crusaders play the Chiefs, and Benji Marshall gets his first run for the Blues against the Highlanders tomorrow.

The Hurricanes play the Sharks in Durban.

With ...Adam Poulopoulos

By Adam Poulopoulos Marlborough enjoyed great success in

the athletics at the New Zealand Masters Games earlier in the month, with a husband and wife team leading the charge.

Sheila and Ray Waters competed in five events between them in the women’s and men’s 75-79 year old age group, winning each one.

Marlborough won 13 athletics gold med-als altogether.

Sheila walked the 5 kilometre and half-marathon, with Ray running the 5km, 10km and half-marathon.

The pair, who have lived in Blenheim for about 30 years, usually travel around

the South Pacific every two years for the Oceanic Masters Games, which Ray competes in.

Sheila said the trip to the games was a success.

“It was very good. There was a great range of activities down there and the venues were all over Dunedin, so it was great to be able to see some of the city.”

Sheila and Roy have only just returned to Blenheim, after spending a week on the West Coast after the Games.

They are both Marlborough Harriers Club members.

The Games were held in Dunedin from February 1 to 9.

Mahar CuP Nelson may have convincingly

won the Mahar Cup last weekend, but the meet underlined the potential of a young Marlborough sprinting star.

14-year-old Lucy Sheat won the Mawhera Shield for the outstanding performance at the meet.

Sheat’s time of 25.41 seconds in the under-16 girls 200m broke the 21-year-old record by half a second.

Her time of 12.22 seconds in the senior 100 metres was enough to win the race and was 0.3 seconds quicker than the record time, but was not counted because it was wind-aided.

Nelson won the meet with 380 points and took home all six trophies except the Mawhera Shield.

The seven-person Marlborough team was second with 101, and the West Coast last with 70.

dartS The darts events continue to come

thick and fast in the next few weeks, starting tonight at the Crow Tavern in Picton.

A Marlborough contingent of 16 is heading down for the tournament, which concludes on March 1.
