Rebuilding a family classic
MAIA HART
A Pelorus couple’s first entry
into the NZ Antique and Classic
Boat Show has family ties to the
show’s Lake Rotoiti venue.
Mike and Judi Edridge’s boat
‘‘The General’’ is a replica of
Judi’s grandfather Arch
Nicholls’ power boat ‘‘The Fay’’.
‘‘Judi’s grandfather, had a
bach up Lake Rotoiti, it was a
family bach right through to the
early 80s and they spent a lot of
time up there in that original
boat,’’ Mike said.
‘‘We decided it would be
pretty cool if we could find it
[Fay] and do it up and float it on
the lake again. But we couldn’t
find the boat.’’
Instead, using original plans,
they built a replica.
‘‘The old plans were pretty
basic, not suitable for building a
new boat, but enough to get the
right dimensions,’’ Mike said.
‘‘We went for modern
materials, but the same classic
lines.

Marlborough water mural unveiled
SOPHIE TRIGGER
A mural behind John’s Kitchen
in Blenheim reminds
Marlburians to be grateful for
the ‘‘beautiful resource’’ of
water.
The nearly 10 metre long
mural, Every drop counts, was
commissioned by water engin-
eering company SWE and
created by Marlborough artist
Gynelle Blake.
After two years in the works,
the mural was gifted to John’s
Kitchen on Tuesday morning.
The mural is made up of four
2440mm by 1220mm panels, and
based on 15 individual photo-
graphs of various bodies of water
in Marlborough.
Blake said the artwork was
about celebrating water as a
precious resource in the region.
‘‘It’s not just about one area in
Marlborough or one body of
water, it was about the fact that
we are surrounded, and not just
in Marlborough but in the
world,’’ she said.
‘‘We are lucky to have these
beautiful resources around. It’s

Residents ‘learn to live’ with fire risk
MAIA HART
Homeowners at the base of the
tinder-dry Wither Hills have
‘‘learned to live’’ with the fire
risk each summer, as the upper
tracks of the farm park are
closed to the public.
Taylor Pass Rd resident Ian
Mitchell said he was happy the
tracks were closed on Monday,
but was still worried by the num-
ber of gum and pine trees
nearby.
He was more concerned about
the tress than the grass between
his house and the trees.
‘‘Frankly, I’d like something
else a little greener, that’s not
conducive of fire,’’ he said.
But Mitchell had full faith in
