A weekend feast of football

As anticipated, Golden Bay Association Football Club’s 2020 Mussel Inn Masters was both bigger and better than last year’s inaugural tournament. “We’re totally stoked,” said club committee member Pew Singh shortly after Sunday’s prizegiving. “It was a huge success for football.”

This year’s tournament attracted a total 12 teams from as far afield as Wellington and Timaru – three times as many as in 2019. Four of the entrants were women’s teams which played in their own competition for the first time. “We are really grateful to all the teams from NelsonTasman, Wellington and Timaru supporting our ‘little’ tournament. Without them it wouldn’t have happened and they made such an effort to get teams together and be here,” says Pew. From kick-off on Saturday morning through to the final whistle on Sunday afternoon, players and spectators enjoyed a proper party atmosphere at the Rec Park Centre – facilitated largely by the close connection between the

heaphy track flights & shuttles

pitches where the action was taking place, and the “club house”.

The weekend’s action culminated in the men’s and women’s finals on Sunday afternoon. Sadly for home fans, Golden Bay did not progress to either of the finals; the men reached the third place play-off but lost 4-0 to Mapua, while the women’s team drew 0-0 in their third place play-off against Motueka’s Fallen Angels and narrowly lost the ensuing penalty shootout.

In a tight women’s final, FC Nelson Despicables netted an early goal against Richmond Mighty Swans which was enough to see them crowned champions, but the men’s match was a completely different ball game; FC Nelson Locomotive steamrollered Motueka 6-0 in rather one-sided contest. A fit and organised Nelson side dominated possession and created frequent openings, forcing Motueka to chase the ball and drop deep to defend. Although clearly tiring at the end of a weekend of football, Motueka rallied to mount a spirited

challenge in the second half but were unable to put the ball in the back of the net.

Before the prizes were handed out GBAFC president Adge Tucker reflected on the event.

“We’re a small country club with a big heart; this is only the second run but it’s tripled in size; that’s a big achievement.” He acknowledged those who had contributed to the event including the tournament committee, the match officials, kitchen workers, and sponsors.

Representing the main sponsor, Henry Dixon of the Mussel Inn presented the winning teams with their trophies and medals, before Adge wrapped up the ceremony.

“I’ve seen all the best parts of football.

It’s restored my faith in the game.” And he invited all participants to return for the 2021 tournament. “See you all back next year.”

One of the teams which will definitely be coming back is FC Nelson, according to its skipper Gary Calderbank. “We’ve already booked accommodation for next year.”

Tasman District Council staff and councillors have been out and about since mid-October seeking views on environmental and development issues and opportunities, as work begins on the new Tasman Environment Plan (TEP).

A series of family-friendly community events are being held across the district to allow the public to have their say on some significant topics. Environmental Policy Manager Barry Johnson says community input will shape the direction of the new plan. “This plan will be created in partnership with iwi and our communities over the next couple of years. It will be an important document that will eventually replace our current resource management plans as the blueprint for how we grow as a district and use our land, air, and water.”

He says the meetings so far have been well-attended and covered a wide range of issues. “It’s not often we get to do this level of community-led planning which is probably why people have taken to this once-in-a-generation opportunity to contribute to plans, issues and challenges we face.“ Mayor Tim King believes Tasman is a special place and encourages everyone to get involved in the district’s big issues. “As a region we have a lot to offer and as a result our towns and local centres are growing.

It’s important we plan for the future by encouraging quality development in appropriate places, backing sustainable industries and production, and protecting and restoring our environment.”

The Tasman Environment Plan will incorporate policies and rules covering air and water quality, biodiversity, climate change and natural hazards, as well as the use of rural areas, coast and towns.

Among the issues being discussed are the relationship between the local economy and the environment, the impacts of natural hazards and the changing climate, the importance of biodiversity and having clean air and water, appropriate housing and infrastructure development, and the things that give Tasman’s towns, rural areas, and coastal places their special character.

Golden Bay residents have their chance to input to the TEP process next week - at Collingwood Memorial Hall on Friday 6 November, 3.30-6pm; and at the Golden Bay Community Centre on Saturday 7 November, 10am-2pm.

Although the Takaka Infusion shop and tea rooms recently closed after 11 years, it has a new incarnation at Pohara.

The downsized operation is now known as the Takaka Infusion Street Life Café, and owners Rolf and Ute Kleine are clearly happy to have their business closer to both the beach and their home.

“It’s a relief not getting up at 5 o’clock in the morning any more,” beams Ute. Their previous “Bread Shed” from Commercial Street is now the café itself, and its new position at 792 Abel Tasman Drive is “perfect” for them they say—nestled on the frontage of Aroha Health Spa, complete with a shady seated courtyard. With a focus on health and nourishing food, the two businesses fit

warn

well together.

The fare remains the same but with a little less variety; coffee and loose-leaf teas are as usual but they’re selling a smaller selection of breads, pastries and croissants. The couple believe that locals and campers alike will appreciate being able to buy freshly baked bread or just amble across from the beach for a coffee or special tea.

The business has a significant following. People began arriving even before Rolf and Ute had opened on their first morning of Labour Weekend.

“During the really busy time we’ll probably open seven days,” Ute explained. “But right now, we’ll be open during the weekend and shut one or two days at the beginning of the week. We’ll just find out what works as we go.”

The School Shop in Takaka has just scooped a major national award – a silver medal for its sausage rolls.

Shop owner Marijke Isley entered her savoury pastry in the inaugural Bakels Legendary Sausage Roll competition last Tuesday and received the good news on Thursday.

Speaking to The GB Weekly this week, Marijke was not revealing the secret of her award-winning sausage meat mix.

“It’s one of my recipes; there are a few hidden ingredients.” But she was happy to explain that the filling is wrapped with bacon before being surrounded by flaky pastry.

As a condition of entry, Marijke had to make three identical sausage rolls and deliver them in a Bakels box to Christchurch

by Tuesday morning, which she says presented a major logistical challenge for a Bay-based baker. “Tina [Foskett, Marijke’s assistant] drove over to Nelson on Monday and they went by overnight courier.”

Final judging took place in Auckland on Wednesday after the 606 entries from across New Zealand had been whittled down to a top 10. According to NZ Bakels, the judges were looking for “a traditional sausage roll of specific weight and length with perfect, beautifully laminated pastry and a great tasting filling”.

After intense scrutiny New Zealand’s most awarded baker Patrick Lam of Goldstar Patrick’s Pies in Tauranga was deemed the best sausage roll baker in the country, with Marijke awarded second place. She is not at all upset at losing out to such a baking legend. “The guy owns four bakeries: we’re not even a bakery. It’s pretty cool.”

The good news has travelled fast, says Marijke, with lots of locals popping in for a taste of Takaka’s “roll” of honour. “We’ve easily doubled sales; we make about 60 every day and we’ve sold out by lunchtime.”

Golden Bay High School is moving ahead with its ambitious redevelopment plans.

Almost two years after the Government announced a $21m capital investment in two of the Bay’s Schools, GBHS’s masterplan reveals how it intends to spend its $12m on reconfiguring its layout, constructing new buildings and refurbishing others.

The school’s management, along with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and its contractors, has been working with a wide range of stakeholders, including staff, students, parents, the board of trustees, Manawhenua ki Mohua, and the wider community, to create and shape a vision for the school. As part of that inclusive approach, GBHS recently welcomed members of the community to a drop-in session, where Daniel Crookes and Duncan Bright of WSP - the architects contracted by the MOE to manage the project design, were on hand to explain the process, and answer questions about the plan.

Close collaboration amongst stakeholders created a vision for the design, and produced a formal education brief which the architects subsequently translated into the master plan.

Daniel provided an overview of concepts underlying the masterplan, which is based around five key zones, each with

a unique theme designed to facilitate flexible teaching and learning, as well as supporting social and cultural activities, and sports.

GBHS principal Linda Tame is understandably thrilled with the prospect of upgrading her school’s infrastructure. “We are very excited by the opportunities for student learning which will come from this really significant investment by the crown.”

In addition to the new and revamped teaching spaces, a separate entrance to the school will formally progress through to a building dedicated to the teaching of Māori. “Building a wharenui will enable us to provide a greatly enhanced cultural context,” says Linda, ”And the flexible and adaptable, modern learning environments will provide us with opportunities to offer new types of learning as well as the current approaches”.

With the initial stage of design almost complete, the project is now moving into the preliminary design phase; a construction contractor is expected to be appointed before the end of this year, with building work possibly beginning towards the end of 2021.

In the meantime Linda says the school will ensure the community is kept informed of progress. “We’ll be setting up a display at reception to keep whānau and public up to speed.”

GOLDEN BAY’S NEWS IN BRIEF

Time to log off

Everyone on the planet watching David Attenborough’s latest documentary, saw that we have reached a critical state on Earth. Everyone on the planet now has awareness of the impact of burning excessive fossil fuels, and thus the urgent need for renewable energy sources for power.

Anyone using huge machinery burning fossil fuels, in very simple terms, must not use engines for more than one hour per day per person. No oversized trucks, chainsaws, haulage vehicles, power tools, sawmills etc.

Kids worldwide are speaking out for climate change (including our local children who strike, along with millions of kids worldwide). They all know what’s happening, but the loggers haven’t grasped the concept of global warming and atmosphere carbon at disastrous levels.

It’s imperative we ask all logging to stop. This industry creates carbon emissions and we are almost past point of no return. Fossil fuel engines on such a massive scale are creating danger.

If the loggers here in Golden Bay stop this week, there may be a chance of recovery on Earth for our future generations.

The pine forests do not benefit the Bay. We all have a say. No more ugly scars on our beautiful mountains. [Abridged] Cath Welsh

New Peace painting

So we may have a new freedom camping site that actually has toilets. Judging by the relatively large amount of overnight campers who were openly urinating in the Motupipi Street carpark last Sunday evening, I would say that it cannot come soon enough.

The celebration and unveiling of the new painting on the outside wall of MONZA Gallery, titled Peace, was celebrated by a group from the Golden Bay Peace group to coincide with the upcoming annual remembrance of Parihaka. Artist Emma Lay described what peace meant for her: “The simple act of lying down on the ground looking skywards allows for a state of deep stillness and peace. Surrendering our weight, both physical and mental, to the earth while we gaze to the sky above allows the mind a freedom that we so often lose in day-to-day life. It’s accessible to most people. En masse, this simple act can be a powerful statement, historically adopted as a non-violent form of action/inaction to focus public attention on a cause and achieve goals such as social change. Media photos of these events is often unsettling, like battlefields strewn with dead bodies, these silent scenes are eery and their imagery confronting. I am interested in this symbolism, the fine line between life and death, peace and unrest.”

“Bubble” artwork sold

DEADLINE EXTENDED! Very short story competition

The collaborative artwork created by Grant Knowles’ lockdown bubble has found a permanent home. The striking painting is now installed on the walls of Zentec’s office in Commercial Street, after owner Josh Hawkins made a successful bid at a recent silent auction.

As agreed by the contributing artists, the proceeds of the sale – some $300 – will be donated to Mohua Social Services.

Manager Premal Gauntlett says the funds will go into the Community Chest to help MSS respond to community needs.

“We are very grateful and it’s lovely to see positive things coming out of lockdown.”

Josh is clearly very positive about hanging the canvas in his office. “I was looking for some artwork for my new office – and I’d been meaning to give some money to MSS so it was really cool.”

ALISTAIR HUGHES

A wet start did not deter 95 cyclists from all over New Zealand enthusiastically taking part in Takaka’s NBS Milk and Honey cycle race on Sunday.

Now in its tenth year, this is the country’s only two-bike race, leaving Takaka Library carpark to climb to the summit of Takaka Hill on road bikes, before changing to mountain bikes to traverse the Canaan Downs, named after the biblical “land of milk and honey” which also gives the race its title. A rapid descent down the Rameka track completes the 68km loop back to Takaka.

Despite the drizzly beginning, sunshine greeted the cyclists at the top of the hill, where a photo finish between two female competitors for the “Queen of the Hill” first to the summit prize had to be decided by careful examination of video footage.

“There was a really great local turnout,” says event manager Mark Godden, “with 30 cyclists from Takaka. There were also quite a few riders from outside the Top of the South, who find our kind of riding pretty challenging — but they enjoy that.”

Last week’s rain had left the already exciting Rameka Track quite slippery, with mud splashes evident on many of the cyclists as they hit the home stretch back to Takaka.

Mark explains the difficulties in transitioning from one bike to another. “A road bike is very light, and when you change onto a mountain bike, it’s a completely different style of riding. But in saying that, 18 brave souls this year did the whole thing on a mountain bike, and finished with very fast times.”

Overall winner was a young man described as one of New Zealand’s best riders, 19-year-old Cameron Jones from Motueka.

“Cameron had already won Milk and Honey when he was

only 14-15, and he won in record time this year,” says Mark. “He did the whole thing, including 1400 metres of vertical climbing, in two hours and 22 minutes. To put that into context, Cameron climbed the Takaka Hill in just 27 minutes.”

Mark is grateful to the support from local businesses, and his hard working team of 15 volunteers who worked from 7am until 4pm to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

“We use this event as a fundraiser, to build and maintain new cycle tracks. In terms of this year’s race, everyone’s happy, and it went really well!”

DOWN TO EARTH: Gardening on pakihi

SOL MORGAN

Gardeners with light soils don’t suffer drainage problems during wet weather, but it’s a different story for those with heavier silt/clay soils. Thinking outside the square can sometimes pay off, and this is what Morfydd Barker of Tukurua has done.

A keen gardener, both edible and ornamental, Morfydd has tried unsuccessfully to grow really healthy vegetables in her garden for 16 years, other than in the raised beds in the tunnelhouse. Then three years ago, she read about both strawbale and hugelkultur gardening in a magazine, and after further research gave both a go.

Straw-bale beds With barley straw from Solly’s, the preparation began. First, she lay them on their side with straw ends upwards. Then minerals were added, ash, and blood and bone. After 12 days with regular watering to keep the bales moist, the new beds were ready for planting. Each bale bed had different crops: tomatoes, courgettes, capsicum, eggplant, cucumber and many brassicas, which were planted with a good handful of potting mix.

“I was very impressed with how well my vegetables grew.

Normally I couldn’t grow any outdoor tomatoes at all without them succumbing to disease,” explains Morfydd.

At the end of the season there was also a nice pile of composted material that was added to the remaining garden.

Pea straw was trialled the second year but it didn’t hold together as well, so she went back to barley straw. “What was impressive is I didn’t have any slugs, and even in dry weather the beds were tremendously productive.”

Another benefit was that it improved the soil immensely under the bales.

Hugelkultur beds This style of raised-bed gardening uses wood as the filler and edging, instead of straw. “It is a great way to recycle scrappy wood lying around after some pine and gum trees were cut down”, explained Morfydd. Leafy branches were also added and loads of compost put on top. Morfydd had three large bins of compost ready for the occasion, along with Flourish compost from Solly’s, and dolomite. “I grew wonderful crops

6

of silverbeet, onions, and brassicas.” These hugelbeds are still going strong, and just need topping up each season with more compost and lime.

Another benefit of both methods was the lack of pest problems, commented Morfydd.

If you feel like giving up on your heavy soil, then give them a try.

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. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

In preparation for the impending summer months, one job on the list is to check that the BBQ hasn’t completely rusted through during the winter. If it has, then it’s time to get a new one and beat the rush.

BBQing to Kiwis is like sand between your toes. We were seemingly born with a pair of tongs in one hand and a glass of Chardonnay in the other. It’s just natural to cook outdoors and it’s a trend that continues to grow each year. Even Covid caused an increase of BBQ sales. What a good way to get together whilst still maintaining social distancing.

A BBQ can refer to the style of cooking, the food that is cooked this way, or the event associated with either. Signs of what could have been the original “surf and turf” meal have been discovered in the Czech Republic and date back to 29,000 BC. There, in a 120cm cooking pit they found mammoth ribs along with many conch shells… which conjures up quite a feast.

In this country there isn’t much that will beat the smell of freshly mown lawns on a summer’s evening and the seductive aroma of meat on the grill. Life feels good, and simple again.

Simple, however, doesn’t sum up the long-winded title of a book on the subject that recently caught my attention: Thank you for Smoking: Fun and Fearless Recipes Cooked with a Whiff of Wood Fire on your Grill or Smoker. It even contains a few recipes for smoked cocktails.

Burgers are the most popular BBQ food and are a great way to allow everyone to help themselves and choose exactly what they like. When it comes to burgers it’s always hard to beat the RootsBar’s “Squeeky” with fried haloumi and mushrooms.

Outstanding in all components. There is also nothing more disappointing than a bad burger with an incorrect bun, soggy pattie and non-complementary garnish.

I’ve seen one recipe where an ice cube is placed in the middle of the pattie and the meat is folded around it. As the ice melts it supposedly keeps the pattie moist. Where do these ridiculous ideas come from?

This recipe for a vegetarian burger will also keep the meatlovers happy as it is super-tasty, moist, meaty in texture and substantial in size. The black beans add protein, colour and bulk and are dried in the oven briefly first to prevent sogginess.

Mushroom and Black Bean Burgers

1 400g tin of black beans Olive oil 150g small brown mushrooms, sliced 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed ½ red capsicum, finely chopped 1 egg ½ cup of freshly made stale breadcrumbs ½ cup of crumbled feta ½ cup of finely grated parmesan ½ teaspoon of ground cumin ¼ teaspoon of chili powder ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce Salt and pepper

Heat the oven to 180⁰C. Drain the beans and rinse under the tap. Drain again and spread out onto a baking paper-lined tray and bake for 10 minutes until dry. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a frying pan and slowly sauté the onion, capsicum and garlic together until soft. Increase the heat a little and add the mushrooms, then cook until all the moisture has evaporated.

Drain off any remaining oil, ensuring vegetables are dried off in the pan. Cool and place into a kitchen whizz. Add the beans and remaining ingredients and season well. Pulse everything together (or mash with a fork) so that you have plenty of texture.

The mixture should feel soft and sticky and hold its shape. Form into 4 large patties and place onto a plate. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate until ready to cook.

These are best cooked on the hot plate on the BBQ, so brush each side of the pattie with a little olive oil and allow to cook until it releases itself easily. Flip and cook the other side.

Serve with toasted burger buns, kumara chips, salad leaves or coleslaw and your choice of toppings. Everyone has their favourites, so a good selection will keep the whole family happy.

Grilling vegetables on the BBQ is a wonderful way to add instant smoky flavour to any meal. Brush the vegetables with some garlic and chili olive oil, season and grill until well marked.

Slices of eggplant, asparagus, capsicum and red onion, and corn cobs, mushrooms and ribbons of zucchini all make a wonderful summer salad with feta or blue cheese crumbled over the top.

Grilling brings out the deep caramelised sweetness that raises any vegetable to its full and glorious potential.

Basketball finals round off season PLASBACK

Recycling used farm plastics

Collingwood (in white) on the offensive against Takaka in the men’s final.

JO RICHARDS

The curtain came down on Golden Bay’s basketball season last Wednesday, with men’s and women’s finals played out at Takaka’s Rec Park Centre.

The evening turned out to be a “State of Origin” clash with both finals contested by teams from Takaka and Collingwood.

At the end of two entertaining and lively encounters, it was Collingwood who bagged bragging rights, taking both titles.

In the women’s match, Takaka got off to the better start and raced into an 8-0 lead, but Collingwood gradually worked their way back, improving their shooting accuracy, and at the break, had levelled the score to 15-15. When play resumed,

Takaka again took the initiative and with time ticking away established a narrow four-point lead, but in a frantic last few minutes Collingwood clawed their way back to win 38-31.

The men began equally quickly with Takaka getting the ball through the hoop within seconds of the start. The pace rarely eased throughout the match and the see-sawing score reflected the non-stop end-to-end action. With six minutes left on the clock Collingwood led their rivals by 29-28 and it looked like anyone’s game, but Collingwood took advantage of Takaka’s frequent infringements, and arguably benefited from the luck of the bounce, to emerge 41-31 winners.

NATURE DIARY

SUBMITTED BY CYNTHIA McCONVILLE

Sometimes the best surprises are just around the corner.

So it is for people who live in Takaka near Lake Killarney.

It’s eight years since dabchicks (weiweia) were officially recorded as breeding at the lake. This record was the first in the South Island since 1941 and until this sighting the species was considered extinct as breeders in the South Island. The latest copy of Birds New Zealand magazine reports the Takaka dabchicks were successful in raising one chick there last summer.

Easily identified, the dabchick is around half the size of a mallard duck. A dark brown-black bird, they stand out with their pale undersides. The head is streaked with fine sweptback silvery feathers. During the breeding season the chest and neck-front turn a beautiful reddish brown. Dabchicks dive underwater for small fish and freshwater crayfish or they feed on insects and their larvae on the water’s surface or pecked from mid air.

Dabchicks belong to the grebe family of birds. In my opinion grebes deserve a special entertainment slot with their marvellous floating nests, elaborate courtship displays and young chicks riding on their parents’ backs for around the first three weeks of their lives. To have this right on the doorstep of Takaka is special. Enjoy.

Nick Hornby’s previous work includes High Fidelity and About a Boy, and this novel displays the same detailed insight into character and motive, making it a truly irresistible read.

Lucy, 42 years old and head of English at the local secondary school, is separated from her husband, Paul, a businessman with an alcohol problem. Their sons, Dylan, 10, and Al, 8, live with her amicably.

The story begins with Lucy meeting with Ted – a meeting arranged by a mutual friend. Ted is a pleasant dinner companion, but like other possible partners lined up for Lucy, he does not possess the qualities she is looking for in a man – qualities which even she cannot define.

Lucy’s Saturday shopping always includes the butcher’s shop which has a reputation for first-class – if rather expensive – meat. Joseph is the 22-year-old Saturday assistant, described

by Lucy’s friend as “looking like Denzel Washington”. Joseph observes the affluent, middle-class customers with interest but without envy, believing that one day, when he is a successful DJ, he will be similarly well off.

One of Joseph’s other jobs in addition to football coaching (an episode related to this shows his tact and maturity) and working at the leisure centre, is babysitting. Lucy asks him to look after the boys one evening when she is invited to dinner with friends. She has been asked to meet another possible partner. Arriving home, after another unsuccessful encounter, she discovers that her exhusband has turned up and had a fight with Joseph, ending up in a heap on the doorstep.

Naturally this situation leaves them into sharing a drink. Joseph is guarded and does not share information about his family, who live in Tottenham. His father Chris, in and out of work, is a fervent Brexiteer, unlike Lucy and her friends. His mother, a nurse, is a devout churchgoer, and he has a sister, Grace.

Joseph is an attractive and intelligent young man and naturally has several girlfriends. Lucy is an attractive woman, thoughtful and bright. Over the next few months Joseph babysits regularly, staying afterwards when the boys are in bed, for drinks and conversation. Gradually he and Lucy fall in love. At first they keep their relationship secret, knowing that the disparity in age and background would cause unwelcome comments. This strong attraction between different kinds of people is truly convincing.

The complex and subtle shades of such a relationship are described with sensitivity and humour. The inevitable doubts and misgivings experienced by both Lucy and Joseph, together with the resulting and unexpected happiness, are explored in detail and with truth.

The fact that Joseph is black never becomes an issue. He occasionally tells Lucy about the times he is stopped and

Monumental

searched unjustly, finding this simply an unwelcome but routine irritant which he deals with in accordance with his equable nature.

The social differences between their families and friends are sympathetically explored. A memorable episode is that in which Joseph explains his relationship with an older woman to his mother and sisters; another where Lucy has tea with his mother, both women being wary, but honest and generous.

The novel is compelling. The reader is drawn into caring very much what the outcome will be, feeling genuine sympathy and liking for the characters. The emotional depth and complexity and the details of reactions – of misgivings, doubt, desire – are powerfully affecting.

Nick Hornby’s style achieves a rare combination: lightness of touch with humour and emotional depth.

KIA ora Golden Bay, things change when you least expect it. It has happened to me. On Friday 23 October I left the Bay to go on a new adventure; wow what a beautiful day I was given to travel on. Golden Bay has been my home for the past 12 yrs, it has been a most interesting time, work, people, and activities.

My highlight was being the Zumba instructor it was fun as I loved to dance and what a way I could dance twice a week and have people join me. We were together for 10yrs, a BIG hug and thank you to the ladies, I will not forget you all, you all helped me keep reasonably fit and sane I enjoyed every moment.

Work colleagues over the years thank you for the lesson you all taught me. My closest friends and extended family, the ones that we had adventures together, you will always have a special place in my heart. Those I may have upset along the way, have a wonderful life. Arohanui, Maria McCreadie.

THIS IS A FREE EVENT

invites you to an evening with

TONY CHRISTIANSEN Thursday 19 November 6:30pm at Rec Park Centre Tony is a world-leading motivational and inspirational speaker. He is humorous, bold and straight talking as he shares his story.

He has no legs, the result of a horrific train accident when he was 9 years old, yet has a remarkable life.

Tony encourages his audience to set their own challenges, rather than accept the limitations imposed by their own attitudes and other people’s perceptions.

Programmes to listen out for Leather & Lace - Mouxsie Moux presents a show celebrating women’s outstanding contributions to music. Supported by Unlimited Copies in Takaka.

Airs every second Thursday at 8pm, replaying the following Tuesday at noon.

Trinketbox - Maria Baigent presents an hour of musical trinkets, written, sung and performed by women. Every second Sunday afternoon at 4pm and replaying a week later on Monday at noon.

Now also airing on Radio Southland and Otago Access Radio.

The Jam - Join Hazel Molloy and friends with interesting topics of conversation, really good music, and information about youth-oriented events and opportunities in the Tasman District. Kindly supported by the Tasman Youth Council. Every second Wed at 5pm, replaying the following Sunday morning at 1am.
