State housing boost for Marlborough
RAHUL BHATTARAI
Marlborough will get eight new
state homes in the next financial
year and its existing stock will
get a $500,000 boost.
Kāinga Ora (formerly Hous-
ing New Zealand) area manager
Dale Bradley said the new homes
would help modernise its hous-
ing stock in Marlborough.
He said the $508,000 invest-
ment in existing houses included
$112,000 on fencing
improvements, about $100,000 on
painting, more than $261,000 on
roofing and more than $35,000 on
a further 23 driveway safety
improvement projects that will
help make another local home
even safer.’’
The Driveway Safety pro-
gramme began in 2013 with an
aim to reduce the risk of chil-
dren being run over in the
driveways of state homes, by
installing fencing, automatic
closing gates with child resistant
latches, speed restriction signs,
speed humps and convex
mirrors where appropriate.

Rewiring our brains for better health
Blenheim mental health advo-
cate Lee Griggs discusses how
we can rewire our brains to
achieve physical and mental
goals.
You may have heard the tale
of the ‘‘Two Wolves’’, where an
Indian chief explains to his
young grandson that he has two
wolves fighting inside of him.
The first wolf is full of anger,
greed, resentment and self-pity.
The second is full of joy, kind-
ness, empathy and compassion.
He goes on to explain that the
fight is inside everyone – you,
me and everyone around.
The boy thinks for a while
and then asks ‘‘who will win?’’
The chief answers, ‘‘which
ever one you feed.’’
This may be an old tale, but
full of wisdom, and is actually
now backed by science.
The study of neuroplasticity
has shown the way in which our
brains develop, grow and adapt.
Based on two main principles,
‘‘use it or lose it’’ and ‘‘neurons
that fire together wire together’’,
neuroscientists have shown that

‘Irish banter’ was shared at the
Blenheim croquet club last
Friday, as the Irish croquet team
stopped in on the way to the
world championships.
The 2020 Golf croquet world
teams championship is being
held in Nelson from 6-12 Janu-
ary, hosting teams from the top
eight countries, including Aust-
ralia, Egypt and South Africa.
Members of the Blenheim
croquet club hosted a practice
game against the Irish team,
described as ‘‘very hospitable’’,
in Blenheim last Friday.
Blenheim croquet club pub-
licity officer Barbara Guillemot
said the friendly match was good
news after the Australian team
were forced to pull out before
Christmas.
"There’s not enough courts
over there so they’re coming
here to practice,’’ Guillemot said.
‘‘Initially Aussie were coming
and then they pulled out, and we
just got an email yesterday to say
that Ireland would come.’’

When the Navy came to Blenheim
"Almost retired teacher’’ Rus-
sell Gifford remembers his
schooldays spent in and
around Blenheim in the 1950s.
This week he recalls a little
known visit by the Navy.
I recall a number of visits by
the Navy to Picton.
There was HMNZS ‘‘Bellona’’
and ‘‘Black Prince’’ and a bit
later ‘‘Royalist’’ and no doubt
other visits over the years.
But it wasn’t usual for the
Navy to visit Blenheim – in a
ship I mean.
But Robert did it. Two ships
in fact. Two RNZN Fairmile
launches made their way up the
Ōpaoa River to Eckford’s wharf
just over from the Railway Sta-
tion.
Robert knew he could do it
because his father had been
bringing the Echo up the same
river for years.
The Echo would arrive with
bits of willow branch caught up
on the mast.
It was all a bit marginal but
the Echo would not be daunted
and kept the service going for
many years.
A regular cargo for example
were cylinders of welding gas.
I don’t remember any great
fanfare announcing the arrival
of the Navy in town and I don’t
recall seeing any photos. Two Navy launches made their way carefully up Blenheim’s Ōpaoa River in the 1960s. RICKY WILSON/ STUFF
