Many happy returns

On Monday, Golden Bay students seemed very happy as they returned to the classroom after nearly two months of home-based learning. They were just some of the country's 800,000 returning students who included the year 1 intake, who are effectively starting over, to year 13 NCEA students who are on the final stretch of their school careers. Collingwood Area School At Collingwood Area School, cars and buses began to arrive shortly after 8.15am discharging students of all ages at the school gates. It might have been a chilly five degrees, but the welcome was warm, with teachers and students greeting one another in the playground. Several older students took the opportunity to get in some early morning basketball practice and, as the clock ticked on, the distinctive happy noise of a school playground filled the Collingwood air. At the end of the school day, principal Hugh Gully reflected on the re-start. “We had a very good turnout – about 95 per cent.” He noted that students were clearly pleased to get back to school. “They were very happy

to see their buddies. I wandered around at lunchtime and they were sitting around in circles just catching up. It was good to hear lots of laughter from the kids – and the teachers. “I spoke to a few kids who have had a nice time during lockdown, a really special time with their families, doing a load of interesting things.” Hugh said that while not all senior students had engaged fully with their NCEA studies

“I enjoyed learning from home but it's great to be back with my friends.” during lockdown, they would be able to catch up. “They will have lots of one-on-one sessions with teachers to help them get credits they need. If they haven’t engaged, today is the time to get on with it.” Summing up, Hugh said he was very happy with how things had gone. “It’s been a really, really good day.”

Golden Bay High School Ninety-two percent of the school roll returned on Monday, arriving in droves. They were greeted by the senior management team before being directed to the handwashing facilities and on to their form classes. The rules under Level 2 were laid out, and teachers and students reconnected with each other and with face-to-face learning. The senior students expressed relief about being back, as did their teachers; in fact, most students said they were happy to be back. The year 9s returned to creative mode in Resistance Materials Technology following a health-andsafety briefing from teacher Ben Knoef. Student Hazel Molloy commented, “I enjoyed learning from home, but it is great to be back with my friends,” while Kyla Lusty said, “It feels really weird.” These sentiments were echoed by many fellow students. The focus on day one was on settling back into school and assessing where students were with their learning. Adjusting to the conditions set out for health-and-safety under Level 2...

Wage Subsidy extension JO RICHARDS

Businesses continuing to suffer a significant decline in revenue as a result of the coronavirus crisis will be able to apply to the Government for a further eight weeks of financial support in the form of a Wage Subsidy Extension. The Government has so far paid out around $11billion to employers under the original Wage Subsidy initiative which was launched in March. The Government announced the extension to the current Wage Subsidy scheme in its recent budget and confirms that the payment will be available to support employers, including sole traders, who are still significantly impacted by Covid-19 after the current 12-week Wage Subsidy ends. The extension payment is also available to those who have not previously received the Wage Subsidy. The Wage Subsidy Extension will be available from 10 June until 1 September so employers can keep paying their employees over winter - a traditionally quiet period for many businesses. More information about the payment, including details of how to apply, will be available before 10 June when applications open. However, employers are not allowed to apply for the Wage Subsidy Extension for an employee until their current 12-week Wage Subsidy has finished. To be eligible for the initial Wage Subsidy, business needed to have experienced a minimum 30 per cent Covid-related decline in actual or predicted revenue over a 30-day period compared with the same period in 2019. The rules for the upcoming extension payment are different; applicants must have had, or expect to have, a revenue loss of at least 50 per cent for the 30 days prior to making their application, compared to the equivalent period last year. The key points of the new scheme are summarised below: It will cover eight weeks per employee from the date the application is submitted. It will be paid to applicants as a lump sum at the same weekly rate as the Wage Subsidy. This is a flat rate of $585.80 for people working 20 hours or more per week (full-time rate) and $350.00 for people working less than 20 hours per week (parttime rate). Applicants must agree to certain obligations, including: • Pass the subsidy on to their employees. • Retain their employees for the duration of the subsidy. • Do their best to pay their employees at least 80 per cent of their normal pay. • Take active steps to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on their business. One subsidy at a time Employers cannot receive more than one Government Covid-19 payment for the same employee at the same time. These payment schemes include the Wage Subsidy, the Leave Support Scheme, and the Wage Subsidy Extension.

Many happy returns: Students go back to school

Continued from page 1... ...will continue throughout the rest of the week. Extra staff were rostered on during breaks, as this is when social distancing is likely to prove most challenging. This is an area that will continue to be closely monitored.

Guidelines set by both Ministries of Health and Education required anyone entering the grounds to be registered for contact tracing, so most parents said their farewells outside, some a little anxious to not be escorting their children in. “It’s harder on some of them than on the kids,” said principal Lisa Malones. All arrivals were personally greeted by Lisa with genuine joy and enthusiasm as she ushered students through the gate. “I’m just so excited to see them all back,” she said. The feeling was reiterated by teacher Jodie Grant. “It feels so vibrant; the kids feel positive and happy to see each other and to be together, and I feel the same,” she said, but admitted that adjusting to all the sudden energy for some might take time. The school is launching into its programme where it left off, but is fully prepared for the new safety approach. While enforcing social distancing with children is difficult, Lisa says they will be exhibiting safety first and common-sense rules by hand washing with soap and water “before and after everything”, and using hand sanitiser appropriately.

Takaka Primary School Principal Jenny Bennett said it was happy Monday at Takaka Primary. “We had a fantastic first day back with a settled start involving lots of reconnecting through play, creative activities and games. Students and families were met at their ‘name gate’ as they’ve quickly become known, and parents and caregivers were able to either say goodbye at the gate, or if there were nerves involved, walk them in. “We were pleased with a 94 per cent attendance and thank our community for placing their trust in our school, for their patience, understanding, and care, which has been demonstrated towards school staff and has really kept us all buoyed.” Jenny said the energy around the school was "buzzing and joyful", particularly during break times when the shrieks of delight echoed around the school. “Teachers were involved in leaf fights and sports games; we think they were just as excited to be back.” While things went well, Jenny recognises the ongoing need to adapt. “We are continually checking and improving our processes to reduce risk and ensure a gentle return, as we know theory and practice can be slightly different.” Jenny said that it wasn’t only returning students that showed up on Monday. “We are delighted to have welcomed many new students - from ages 5-10 - and their families to TPS. Many enrolled into our online programmes before arriving, so it’s been fantastic to meet them in person and see how well they’ve settled in.”

Motupipi Primary School There was a general air of excitement among children and staff at Motupipi School as children returned from their lengthy isolation on Monday morning.

Central Takaka School Things were buzzing at Central Takaka School on Monday, according to principal Steve McLean. “The students and staff were all very happy to be back and enjoyed reconnecting. Lots of online learning devices plus library and reading books were returned and then cleaned before being put back into circulation.” Steve said staff, students and parents all followed Level 2 protocols, including using a designated drop off/pick up point, filling out contact tracing forms and using all the new handwashing and sanitising stations. “It has been a real team effort from the staff and Board of Trustees throughout the lockdown and in preparation for re-opening under Level 2.” The major focus for the first week back is on physical and emotional wellbeing, explained Steve. “This includes only slowly easing back into the usual routines to allow time for restoring the social connections and comfort levels of student to help them adjust to life back at school. The most important message we are promoting is to be kind to each other.”

LE T TERS Real data on artificial nitroogen

I would like to thank Friends of Golden Bay for the high standard of data collection they have maintained in shedding light on the trends and sources of nitrate-N passing through Te Waikoropupū Springs. Beyond reasonable doubt, nitrate-N is clearly rising and the reason is pastoral farming in the upper catchment. I feel sorry for those farming families now forced to defend an unsustainable model of primary production promoted by a growth-oriented dairy industry. Clearly the nitrogen farming mentality has had its day. The rise and rise of artificial nitrogen use in New Zealand pastoral farming, particularly since the 1990s, mirrors the decline in freshwater quality and erosion of the social license to farm. Its backlash, now coming through in regional plans around the country, imposes high mitigation costs on all. Artificial-N has been a key driver in intensifying pastoral farming. While it may increase the short-term returns of individual farms, it is at the expense the wider community and the environment and against the long term interests of NZ farming. Alec Milne

Council must focus on core services

As we enter the “new way“ of living in New Zealand, and leave the Covid-19 lockdowns, the future is not good. We will enter a debris field of lost businesses, lost jobs, and thousands on the dole or welfare. Worst of all, a $150 billion debt that only our great-grandchildren will pay off. When I checked the national income, it is $52,000 per annum. It will be much lower this year, and next. The average income of TDC staff is $82,000 per annum. We read of many businesses laying off staff and CEOs taking pay cuts. Air New Zealand laying off 600 pilots and the ones left taking a 30 per cent pay cut, and the CEO a 40 per cent pay cut, allowing for bonuses etc. We read of company CEOs, some mayors, and council staff taking pay cuts in local districts. The fact that our mayor has given us a rate freeze for next year is not enough. There must be a serious cut in spending for the next five years. The average income of ratepayers is drastically reduced. A complete revision of the Long Term Plan has to be done. Our council has to focus on the essential services and, frankly, start laying off non-essential staff. The goal is to reduce rates for the next five years. As we crawl out of the debris field it will be challenging for TDC. In the words of Basil Fawlty, “Don't mention the dam“. Reg Turner

Logging in Clifton

I wish to notify residents in Clifton area about the deforestation of pine trees from the top of Richmond farm/ Bird's Clearing. We have been told by the logging company that it is too dangerous to take the trees down through Richmond farm as the hillside is unstable so they will haul hundreds of thousands of trees up to the top of the mountain with chains, and transport down Bird's Road. The 2012 landslide from this forest was a disaster for the community, then Ligar Bay, Takaka Hill were other recent disasters. We have seen it happen in the Bay and Marahau, Riwaka, Baton River and Tapawera in the last 12 months. Our kids are striking for awareness of climate change. Should that vast amount of fossil fuels for heavy machinery be used knowing we are now in climate emergency? Our community wants to discuss these impacts with environmental planners. Cath Halliwell

The sense of entitlement

This is described in most dictionaries as: “Believing that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment”. Covid-19 has certainly tested everyone in this country on more levels than one. Businesses are suffering, and some may not recover. People who have never been out of work in their lives, are now applying for benefits and food grants. Worse still, people have died because of the virus, thankfully not as many in New Zealand as overseas. It has been widely acknowledged this is because the Government went into full pandemic response quickly. Sadly, there are those of us who believe that they ought not to have to participated in this, that the level of prospective deaths did not warrant this response. “How much do you value a life,” I ask, without response? People claim wage subsidies when they do not need them, take extra resources to make more profit and claim more "power" than they need to have. However, sadly, none of this is surprising, given that our economy is predicated on the neo-liberal belief that part of

society is entitled to have more, while the rest has less? Sadly, these people are more to be pitied than laughed at because they have not yet worked out that having more will not fill the aching void in their souls. If anything, they then have to try and justify their choices to themselves, and live with shame and guilt, when this cannot be done. Sharon Campbell (not the artist)

A poem for Jim Horton

Dear Jim, thanks for all the magic that you gave us lads... we loved you to a man! Left in your wake (For Jim) If you died in this moment Would it be as going out upon a wooden skiff Dragging its hull Crunching against cool round pebbles Firmly taking to water Into a calm and buoyant sea ? If you died to this moment Would it be through lack of focus lack of attention lack of imagination If you died at this moment What would you leave in your wake? What echo will out live you? What ripple remains? Have you bellowed your name out, Again and again against the howling gale of being? Have you let it break you, This overloaded onslaught of information to your sense? Was it your own surrender? Sit contented now. This has been a truly great adventure. A life contract that no other could fulfil. Full of brave deeds and kind words. Here amongst the rules of gravity You have found a perfect way. Navigated your love through a miraculous landscape. Traversed space times so intricate in your delicate boat. Sang out your heart song from the rooftops of your soul. Those holding your hand At your bedside Will find themselves Transformed by your transformation Silently, they will witness, This great pilgrimage that you have completed. With love, respect and gratitude... Ian K Brown

JOIN THE CONVERSATION - FEEDBACK We received one comment on our website below last week's Top Story "Springs WCO Heads To Environment Court": Don’t let TDC promote another ill-considered cost to our community. Where is the integrity-based proof held by TDC and the agricultural sectors that disprove FOGB monitoring data and negate the risk to the Springs from raised levels of nitrate? TDC claim of no spiritual or outstanding value? Oh-oh. Another concreted city-view of heritage, cultural/community values. Perhaps the above-mentioned objectors could read the article by Deborah and Tim Rhodes (GBW 15/5, p15), plus remember how we all coped within our restricted bubbles these past weeks. Then rethink their own “rights” to take precedent over everything and everyone else. Agriculture maybe is the backbone of the economy. But bones need organs and blood and nervous systems, which community, tourism etc provide. Golden Bay, let's stand together on protecting this world treasure on our doorstep.

Golden Bay businesses that are now required to contacttrace customers are using the government-recommended Quick Response app (application) created by the Ministry of Health. Marg Braggins of the Golden Bay Promotion Association (GBPA) said: “It makes sense if Golden Bay can use the same app - it's free to register, it's a very simple process, and the links to the posters arrive by email within a couple of hours. Quite a few Takaka bars and cafés are using the app. You can register your business at tracing.co.nz and can find further details on all of the Level 2 guidelines on covid19.govt.nz “ The Dangerous Kitchen has been quick to pick up and run with the app. “The contact tracing system was super easy,” said David Dwyer. “It took me literally less than five minutes to request the code from tracing.co.nz and they provide a printable template for manual signing in also. I was impressed that it is so straightforward. For those who'd rather save time it's great and for people who prefer pen and paper that will always be an option at our place too.” QR codes are similar to barcodes, except they scan both ver tically and horizontally to take the user to a website or webpage (such as Facebook). The usual barcodes (as on your groceries) scan only horizontally. For those with a smartphone camera, the user holds the camera up to the QR code, which is then read by the camera and notifies

TUMEKE LOGGING

HARRY RICHARDS, PATURAU FARMER

Further to a recent article, "A 1930s Rakopi childhood", (GBW 15/5) regarding the construction of the Dry Road, I would like to add my family’s part in the lobbying to get the project underway. In 1931 travel to Collingwood from Paturau was still by the muddy route, crossing the muddy sections on corduroy (small trees laid across the track) only at low tide around the Westhaven Inlet. My grandfather John Henry Richards (who had retired at this stage) decided to travel to Parliament to raise funds for a start on the Dry Road to Paturau. He had great difficulty getting an appointment with the right people but he persisted and eventually he was granted £19,000 to get the Dry Road formation started. This period was at the height of the Great Depression and people in the area were grateful to start work with picks and shovels, horses and scoops. The wages were very low at 10 shillings and 6 pence per week (or 1½ pence per cubic yard). Because of the low wages, good progress was made with the £19,000. During the building of the Dry Road, workers would live just above the high water mark around the edge of the mudflats so as to be close to where they worked. At low tide Jackie Rhodes, a Pakawau farmer, used to bring a horse and gig butcher's cart around the various huts and lots of people wanted legs of

mutton, disregarding the rest of the sheep. He exploded one day saying “Do you think I am killing centipedes!” Jackie Rhodes’s son would sometimes take butcher's sheep from their land on a spring cart from Sandhill Creek to Pakawau to make sure sheep were available for the meat business supplying the Dry Road workers. When the funds ran out in 1935, John Henry Richards went back to a new Labour Government with Bob Semple as Minister of Works. Again, John Henry had great difficulty getting a hearing but at a function where senior ministers were entertaining guests guarded by doormen, John Henry made his move. The doormen were no match for John Henry and were easily brushed aside so that he could talk directly with Bob Semple. Bob Semple’s reply to John Henry's request for funds was: ”Mr Richards you did not vote for me at the last election – why should I grant you the money.” My Grandfather replied, “You grant me the road money and I will vote for you next time!” The funds were granted and the Dry Road was completed in 1938. This was a milestone for everyone in the area with mail, bread and milk deliveries twice a week. The new road to Mangarakau allowed easy transport of coal, timber, wool and livestock to be markets. This improved everyones lifestyle, and allowed the coast to be accessed by all.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight.

JO RICHARDS

Good news for the Bay’s film buffs: The Village Theatre is back in business from next Friday. Over the past two months, erstwhile movie-goers have stayed at home and turned to Netflix, Neon and other streaming services to get their fix but, no matter how big the TV, or how sophisticated the sound system, home-cinema is a pale imitation of the full-blown movie theatre experience. And then there’s the popcorn. Village Theatre manager Rae McDowell says Level 2 restrictions mean, however, that people can’t just turn up. “Phone bookings are essential as admissions will be limited

for purposes of spacing.” She explains how the phone booking system will work. “Tell us which film session and how many people, and be sure to leave us your contact phone number. We will only contact you if we are at capacity.” The need to maintain physical distancing won’t spoil the excitement of watching new releases on Takaka’s big screen once again, say Rae. “Come along and enjoy the warm and cosy yet spacious atmosphere. The team looks forward to giving our community the full cinema experience once again.” Village Theatre’s first screening is on Friday 29 May at 7.30pm. Booking essential: phone 525 8453.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Blue whale feeding habits revealed

DOC building decontamination

JO RICHARDS

If you are passing through Takaka’s CBD on Monday, keep an eye out for changes to the Department of Conservation’s HQ. At the same location later in the week, you may see workers dressed in personal protection equipment, but there’s nothing to be alarmed about; it’s all part of a planned asbestos removal operation. Woodrow “Woody” Monte, owner of the Art Deco-style building at 62 Commercial Street, says the work is part of a major refurbishment that has already involved bringing the structure up to the required earthquake resilience standards. “When I bought it I intended to bring it back to a useable condition.” Earthquake strengthening work was needed in the front part of the building, while the rear part required re-roofing. Not unexpectedly, a thorough survey of the latter revealed the presence of asbestos in the roof and the exterior walls. Although there was minimal risk of fibres being released, and no legal requirement to remove it, DOC’s landlord called in the experts to deal with it. “The material is a combination of concrete and asbestos; it’s relatively safe but you need to be careful with it as it ages. I decided to get rid of all the asbestos,” says Woody. Nelson-based contractors Trafalgar Painting are due to set up the site for safe operation on Sunday, before their specialist operatives, wearing hazmat suits and respirators, can begin to remove the hazardous materials. “Scaffolding is to be established and a partial tenting of that area that is closest to the Wholemeal undertaken,” says managing director Jo Szentpeteri, who points out that strict safety measures, including environmental monitoring, will be in place throughout the operation. “Precise Consulting will have air-sniffing equipment at the boundary to make sure no material is escaping.” Jo says the work should be completed in a matter of days. “It depends on the weather, but we hope to finish by the end of the week.” When all the asbestos has been safely removed, the refurbishment will continue with the installation of insulation material, prior to recladding the affected walls and screwing down new Colorsteel roofing sheets. Woody says, with Department of Conservation staff working at home, the timing couldn’t be better. “It’s one good thing to come out of the lockdown.”

A team of international scientists, who based field study operations in Golden Bay, have published their findings into the feeding behaviour of blue whales observed in the Taranaki Bight. The research article suggests that feeding at the ocean’s surface could play an important role in the whales’ foraging strategy and help to optimize their energy balance. The team led by Dr Leigh Torres, an assistant professor at Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute, carried out a series of survey cruises in the Taranaki Bight during the summer of 2017. Taking observations from the boat, researchers recorded surface feeding on multiple occasions and noted that the density of krill patches was greater closer to the water’s surface. Because of their enormous size, blue whales need to carefully balance the energy gained through their food intake with the energetic costs of feeding, such as diving, holding their breath or opening their mouths, which slows their movement in the water. Furthermore, their prey are tiny krill and so whales must eat large volumes of them to make energy gains required for growth and physiological maintenance.

“People think about whales having to dive deep to get to the densest prey patches, but if they can find their prey in shallow waters, it’s actually more energetically profitable to feed near the surface,” said Dr Torres. “In this population of whales in New Zealand, they foraged more in areas where their prey was dense and shallow. Their dives were relatively short, and they were feeding more at the surface, which requires less energy.” Using a drone, the researchers captured video of a blue whale surface preying on a patch of krill. The footage illustrates the giant mammal’s feeding process, including decisionmaking about whether or not to eat patches of krill near the ocean’s surface. “The video allows us to describe a lot of really cool kinematics and body movement coordination by the whale that we haven’t been able to see before,” said Dr Torres, who believes drones have an important role marine mammal research. “This footage highlights the value of using drones for study and observation of whales. Drone footage could be a good complement to data collected from tags for studying surface behaviours of whales.” To read the full research article, go to: https://peerj.com/ articles/8906/

Sutatip Kattiya, the manager of Takaka’s newest eatery, is at 22 years old a graduate of Auckland University, with a double major in Accounting and Commercial Law. These skills put her in good stead for the opening and running of her father’s dream. Premmongkon Kattiya has been a chef for more than 20 years. “Since before I was born,” said Sutatip. He was a “first generation” chef for Chokdee, Nelson. “My Dad found [the premises]. During the school holidays I came to have a look. So, I thought, OK, I will give it a go.” Following negotiations with the owners of the building, renovations began, using local contractors for building, plumbing and electrical needs. A website, Facebook and Instagram were all created by Sutatip, who designed everything – the kitchen layout, reception, décor – “even the toilet,” she laughed. “It was a ‘big-as’ project for me.” Beautiful Thai fabrics were sourced from Takaka’s Village market for a panelled feature wall, which Sutatip and her younger sister created during lockdown. O’Sha was only open for one week before Alert Level 4 and lockdown. Sutatip had hoped to open “quietly” so as to allow time to secure a liquor licence and train her two waitresses. Word of mouth meant that first week was actually quite busy. Under Alert Level 3, O’Sha offered an online menu with a click-and-collect takeaway service. Business was brisk, and when Level 2 was announced, Sutatip stopped the online ordering service so her staff could focus on dine-in patrons. When the doors opened, they were busy. “I’m everywhere!” said Sutatip. “[Even] In the kitchen - which was not the plan. It’s too hard in there!” But she is helping with preparation, dishes and serving. Sutatip said it’s not just due to her degree that she is in this role. She has worked in hospitality since she was 16. “First-hand experience is better than a degree.” O’Sha means “delicious” in Thai, and Sutatip confidently focuses on that. “I want to keep the menu simple. All the basics are here.” A Chef’s Special is to come when they have their second chef, who “has to be good enough”.

BOOK REVIEW: Shakti

Golden Bay's sustainable future:

Have your say and help realise the vision SUBMITTED

STELLA CHRYSOSTOMOU

When Shivani, a 15-year-old, writes a private letter, distressed about her recently acquired power, to the advice columnist Chandra Sir, the life of a schoolteacher is altered forever. When that same schoolteacher’s home help and friend, Arati, is visited by Manasa, an ancient spirit, with news of her long-disappeared husband, an act of revenge is instigated. Step into modern-day India and the life of Jaya Bhowmick, one of several women who has acquired special powers. Shakti is a feminist metaphysical thrill(er), a story shaped within a political pressure cooker. The shaktis that the women have acquired are specific and different, but all give the receiver an ability that is both a gift and a burden. And to top it off, there seems to be a malign force at the centre of this structure. The words on the cover of Shakti — “Your power. Our rules” — are the opening gambit that leads the reader into this dangerous game of smoke and mirrors, a game laced with irony and fateful consequences, a game that is far from the playful tone that pervades the book. Jaya is a sassy heroine, sharp-tongued, quick-witted and observant, and it is a pleasure to be in her company — in her internal world — even when the most outrageous and horrific things are happening around her. Within the first few chapters of the book, we are confronted with gender stereotyping, suicide, class prejudice and sectarian violence. These issues do not abate, but Chakraborti’s skill as a writer and storyteller keeps you hooked, juxtaposing these serious concerns with wry asides, almost soap-opera moments and absurdist situations. In this way, this book reminded me of Aravind Adiga’s award-winning The White Tiger. As Jaya navigates the present, coming to terms with her new-found power, and the past, divulging and facing her own violent family history against a backdrop of secrecy and control, she attempts to uncover the source of Shivani’s discontent, secure justice for Arati and find a meaningful role for herself now that her true identity has been revealed. Yet power comes with a price, and only by capitulating to the political forces who control this power can you be free and not haunted. What role will Jaya choose and is she the hero we all seek in ourselves? Shakti will shake you up, mystify you and make you laugh, as well as frighten you with its clear reflection of our current socio-political structures and our willingness to accept or dismiss these intrusions into our minds, as well as our hearts. Place Shakti at the top of your “to read” pile. By Rajorshi Chakraborti (Penguin Books)

Have you ever thought about how you would like our beautiful environment and community here in Golden Bay to look and feel in the future? Now is your opportunity to get involved. Our best way to experience the shared future we want is to clarify it and then work towards it together. A shared vision, a shared strategy and a community-led action plan to get there. A core group of Golden Bay-ers have decided to help make this happen. The seed was planted at the Mohua 2040 Adaptability Forum in October last year. There were lots of great ideas and lots of great discussion, but we didn’t want the initiative to be just a talk fest – and that’s why we created the community-led Golden Bay sustainability strategy “Mohua 2040: Adapting to a Sustainable Future”. February’s Sustainability Hui provided a forum for further visioning and brainstorming, and was a great launch pad. With the continuing Covid-19 restrictions, we have decided to open up the discussion online and invite everyone to take an active part in developing a shared community vision for Golden Bay, and help shape the initiatives we focus on so we can make that future a reality. We’ve taken all the input so far, distilled it into vision statements and organised the action areas into broad categories. The artists among us have depicted these categories in the tree graphic pictured right. Now it’s your turn. For each broad category we would like to capture: • What we are already doing that supports the vision • What more we need to do The online tool we are using is called Note.ly. It’s quick and easy to use. It’s interactive too – so you can see other’s ideas as well as your own. Check it out at: https://padlet.com/mohua2040/haveyoursay Thanks in advance for your input. Having a vision and a strategy is a strong first step towards realising the future we really want for Mohua Golden Bay in 2040.

MOHUA 2040: OUR VISION • A shining example of sustainability in action – an exemplar for the world • A haven of hope • “Environment” is one of the guiding factors in every decision we make • Our environment is our super power – it lends us strength, resources, wealth and health. • Our ecological innovation feeds into national policy and decisions, and back to us.

• Governance is from the heart • We are the sustainability education centre of NZ – inspiring hearts and minds • All the people of Mohua live in harmony with nature • As a region we sequester more carbon than we produce. • Vibrancy in many strands but harmonious together – like an orchestra – with room for rumbustious trumpets as well as delicate flutes. • We feel a deep connection with our inner selves, our community and the earth

In previous weeks we’ve looked at film-viewing options available on streaming services while cinemas closed under lockdown. But another method of seeing films at home has been around in its earliest form since 1977, and exploded in New Zealand in the early 1980s. The video rental store was once an intrinsic part of Kiwi life – browsing the shelves for previously unimagined access to movies old and new, and often bringing an armload of chunky cassettes home for the weekend. At one point it seemed as if every spare retail space was quickly erecting shelves and displaying movies for hire. Modern film-makers like Quentin Tarantino fostered their love of film and made future industry contacts while working in video stores. Then the higher-quality DVD format arrived globally in 1997. As VHS tapes had once unravelled the competing betamax video format at the dawn of home viewing, discs rapidly replaced cassettes in what seemed an overnight coup. Then, as broadband widths increased in the 2000s, movie piracy began to proliferate. This was followed by legitimate streaming the following decade, which gradually saw the end of the four-decade traditional rental industry. As with so many good things, Takaka remains an exception, but what does haberdashery have to do with movie hire? In Commercial Street, the answer to that is “everything”. Anita Hutchinson has owned Stitch’n’Sew and Paradise Entertainment under one roof in Takaka for almost 12 years, and offers literally thousands of film titles for hire. “A lot of people in Golden Bay don’t have reliable internet, or don’t want to use their data,” says Anita. “They still get DVDs out, and enjoy coming in and choosing them.” Anita is happy to announce that new releases previewed THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 22 MAY 2020

over the past few weeks are now available, with more to follow next month. And she is aware that her rental service still has some advantages over streaming. “We have a huge range of movies, a lot of which you can’t find online, because we’ve been here for so many years. It’s all in one place and we get new releases every week.” New releases are available for $8 overnight, with half price on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A popular option is 10 non-new releases for $10 for 10 nights. Paradise Entertainment is also able to offer a personal touch which online hire can’t. “I encourage feedback, because you get to know if a certain range of people are likely to enjoy a particular range of movies and you can give them recommendations. You can't recommend the same movie to everybody, because that just doesn’t work.” Anita’s current favourite is the 2009 French parody Micmacs, a title which roughly translates as “jiggery-pokery”. “There’s nothing like a bit of light-hearted comedy," she says. Paradise Entertainment trading hours are currently shortened: 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and Saturday 10am to 2pm. And some great news to finish with. The Village Theatre has announced that they will be reopening their doors next Friday, May 29. On Sunday, May 31 at 2pm they will be holding the world premier of local film-maker Pete Blasdale’s documentary about the International Jampot motorcycle rally, which was held in New Zealand in February. It is described as a “…record of all the fun, mistakes, mishaps, breakdowns, camaraderie and experiences very few people will get to do, so enjoy… and keep your fingers crossed that these old machines we love to ride will get us there and back in one piece.” Don’t miss out, seating will be necessarily limited.
