Ship to
shore
The Carnatic is a name very familiar to
Blenheim resident Elaine Hadfield. The
historic ship brought her great-
grandparents to New Zealand.
The Carnatic is a name not known by many but for some the historic ship is the reason they are here. Descendants
from those families who arrived in Picton 143 years ago want to see a tribute put in place to mark its arrival.

Firefighter battles epic wildfire
MATT BROWN
Bears, cougars, difficult terrain,

some of the challenges New Zea-

firefighter Corporal Tony Morris
faced fighting fires in Canada.
Do you have experience
fighting large fires?
Not as large as the fires that
we are fighting here in British
Columbia. I worked on the
Christchurch Port Hills fires in
2017. The terrain here in Canada
is harder and steeper.
Cedars are massive and when
they burn they are like giant
chimneys, which can be quite
dangerous. It’s been full-on and
pretty tiring. We are doing some
big, big days. But it’s been very
rewarding. We’ve all learnt a
great deal and it’s all worth it.
The Canadians are very welcom-
ing, very nice people.
How long have you been in
Canada for? Do you know how
long you will be stationed
there?
We arrived in Canada in early
August and are deployed here
until early September. Initially,
we were working in Castlegar,
currently, we are in Revelstoke,
a city in the south east.

for charity
MATT BROWN
Spring isn’t the only cause of red noses
this month as Cure Kids’ Red Nose Day is
scheduled for September 28.
Traditionally, fundraising had centred
around just one day but this year the
whole month of September will be
devoted to the Red Nose Appeal. The goal
is to raise $1 million for Cure Kids for
vital health research.
‘‘Red Nose Day holds a special place in
the hearts of many Kiwis, many whom
will remember the first one held back in
1989,’’ said Cure Kids CEO Frances
Benge.
‘‘This year we’re planning to make the
Red Nose Appeal one of the biggest yet to
help fund high impact medical research
by experts committed to actively finding
cures and better treatments,’’ Benge said.
Funds raised from the Red Nose
Appeal went towards important areas of
child health research such as cystic
fibrosis, child cancers, obesity, autism
spectrum disorders, asthma, inherited
heart conditions and mental health.
Various red noses, including red noses
for your car, are available for sale and by
donation at Briscoes and Rebel Sport.
Red Nose Day will be celebrated this year on
September 28. (file photo) SUPPLIED

Spitfire pilot’s secret map surprise
MATT BROWN
The roar of engines, the noise of
anti-aircraft fire, roiling cloud,
terror and the exhilaration of liv-
ing to fight another day.
Flying a Spitfire in World
War II in the north of Italy, RAF
pilot Robert Aubrey told of his
adventures flying over the battle
of Monte Cassino to his son, Don-
ald Aubrey.
The silk hanky used by his
father, which doubled as a secret
map of Italy, has been donated to
the The Omaka Aviation Heri-
tage Centre.
‘‘If, for some reason, a pilot
bailed out or crash-landed, a map
was an important tool to figure
where you were and where to
head to,’’ Aubrey said.
‘‘Luck plays a big part in war,
it’s not all about a pilot’s skill.’’
The hanky joined a much
larger display devoted to the
brave pilot, including photos,
equipment and various other
paraphernalia donated by the
Aubrey family.
The map, that Bob never
needed, was made of silk and
was sewn into his uniform.
Like a lot of servicemen,
Aubrey said his father was mys-
tified as to why he had survived.
Especially as so many others
didn’t.

Research shows expectant couples who attend
pregnancy and parenting education classes cope better
with the challenges of pregnancy, labour and parenthood
than those who don’t. This includes those couples who
look to books or the internet for their education on
childbirth.
Throughout the year Nelson Marlborough Health has a
series of courses running for pregnant women and their
support persons which includes up-to-date information
and research, delivered in a fun, informative and
interactive way.
The courses are run by experienced midwives and
childbirth educators, and include guest speakers and a
tour of the maternity unit.
Ask your midwife, or go to www.nmdhb.govt.nz/

More care closer to home
More healthcare services are now available at the Marlborough Community Health Hub, with the near-completion of its
expansion this month.
NMH Chief Executive Peter Bramley says that the expansion allows for better integration of services.
“Our community health hubs in Nelson and Blenheim typify the community-facing service model we want more of, and that
our communities are asking for,” Peter says.
Marlborough Primary Health Organisation chief executive Beth Tester said
roughly 17,000 people visit the existing half of the health hub each year.
The new services are:
• the NMH Needs Assessment Service (Support Works)
• Maori healthcare provider Te Piki Oranga
• a GP practice and pharmacy
• public health nurses, clinical nurse specialists and district nurses
District nurses have moved to the hub from Wairau Hospital, and current
patients of the service have been contacted directly. All contact and
referral phone numbers remain the same.
New car parking on Arthur St provides an extra 37 parks, two of which are
mobility parks. There are also seven parks allocated to hub visitors on
Queen St.
Bring them in when you and your child visit the community dental clinic and they will
send them to Terracycle to be made into items such as watering cans and plant pots.
