Vision for Waitapu emerges

Feedback from the Golden Bay community is helping to shape the future of the Waitapu Bridge site. Photo: Jo Richards. JO RICHARDS

The initiative to improve the Waitapu Bridge site passed a key milestone last week with the publication of a report by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (WKNZTA). Titled Waitapu, Takaka: Summary of public engagement 30 April-10 May 2021, the six-page document summarises, and comments on, feedback from the consultation process (GBW 7/5) jointly run by WKNZTA and Manawhenua ki Mohua (MKM). The report represents an important step in the collaborative development of a coherent plan for the site. The overarching issue identified in the report is how to ensure public use and access while enhancing and protecting the riparian environment and river water quality. The latter is particularly important for MKM, who place high cultural significance on the location (Waitapu translates as “sacred waters”). Up to and including the summer of 20192020, an increasing number of freedom campers had seriously disrupted the balance between these aspirations due largely to the chronic use and abuse of the site. Although a

combination of the Covid pandemic and the joint WKNZTA/iwi initiative has significantly reduced freedom camping activity over the past 18 months, there is currently no long-term management plan for Waitapu. The public feedback that informed the report was collected at three public events and via email. On 30 April, MKM led events at Waitapu and the Rec Centre that each attracted around 25-30 people. WKNZTA took the lead the next day, setting up a stall at Takaka’s Village Green, where around 40 community members contributed ideas and comments. The report highlights shared values revealed by members of the community when asked why Waitapu was so special. Paramount amongst these is an expressed wish to protect and respect the site, which is clearly valued for it beauty, clean water and cultural qualities. The site is also identified as an important location for a range of recreational activities such as boating, swimming and picnicking, and as a place to connect with nature. In some cases, respondents mentioned coming to

Waitapu as children and wanted to be able to enjoy it with their children and grandchildren in the future. In addition to providing broad-brush feedback, the community also painted a more detailed picture of its vision and concerns, which are summarised in the report’s thematic table. The themes used to organise the wide variety of thoughts, ideas and issues include public access; site design and layout; important launch spots for small boats and kayaks; environmental issues; and freedom camping. In the same table, WKNZTA provides comments relating to specific issues. Regarding public access, for example, the report states that WKNZTA and MKM “have agreed to continue to deter people camping overnight” but there are currently “no plans” to close the gate at the site entrance. Fur thermore, there is an assurance regarding the popular launch spot. “Our intent is to retain boat access and allow for parking and maneuvering of boats and trailers within... Continued on page 4

Golden Bay’s Covid-19 vaccine rollout is on a roll. Figures supplied by Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (NMDHB) last week show that, by the end of June, more than 3,300 doses of the Pfizer jab had been administered in the Bay. “ The uptake from the Golden Bay community has been amazing since the beginning of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, “ says Golden Bay Community Health (GBCH) manager Linzi Birmingham. “The initial clinics were held at GBCH and these clinics ran like a well-oiled machine.” Out of the total number of vaccinations given, GBCH administered around 2,200 doses onsite, plus between 300-400 doses at each of three large-scale clinics run by Nelson Bays Primary Health (NBPH), along with GBCH staff, at the Rec Centre. The total should get another significant boost at the fourth large jab session which is scheduled for tomorrow. GBCH’s quality service improvement lead Ruth Robson says the large events have proved a great success. “The clinics have been popular and have been a social affair with neighbours and friends having catch-up conversations while waiting their 20 minutes post vaccine.” Breaking down the NBPH statistics reveals that 35.6 per cent of all patients enrolled with GBCH, have received either one or both of doses, a figure which rises to 81 per cent for those aged 65 and over. In addition, GBCH practice data shows that, thanks to dedicated vaccination clinics organised in collaboration with Manawhenua ki Mohua and conducted at GBCH, 33 per cent of the Bay’s enrolled Maori have had either one or both doses. Given the high level of uptake in the Bay, NBPH’s vaccination booking team have already issued early invitations to the over40s and are now extending it to everyone aged 16 and over. Despite the current success of the rollout, Ruth counsels against complacency. “People shouldn’t think that we are immune here in Golden Bay as we are as vulnerable as other parts of New Zealand because people travel… We continue to have a steady demand for Covid testing at GBCH from people living in the Bay which increases when there is an outbreak elsewhere.” Anyone not enrolled with a GP, or new to the region, or would rather not wait to be contacted, can book online at: https:// bookmyvaccine.covid19.health.nz/ using code EA7U4D5BYP or phone 0800 28 29 26.

Robin’s birds tell their own tales

NEWS IN BRIEF The hump about the bump

Renowned Maori artist Robin Slow has a new body of work on display at MONZA Gallery until 9 September. This is a rare treat for local art audiences, given the shortage of places to exhibit in the Bay. These 12 paintings, smaller than Robin’s usual imposing works, are titled Te Mara o Tane (The Garden of Tane), featuring some of the more commonly known native birds of Aotearoa, including kaka, tui, fantail, mohua, kereru, toutouwai, ruru, kokako, and weka. Twelve is significant as representing the 12 steps to heaven, and these paintings come with some intriguing connections to the esoteric and natural worlds. For Robin this show is special. Birds regularly feature in many of his paintings but never before as condensed bird portraiture telling their own stories. “I wanted to have a look at manu [birds]. That makes it accessible to other people, so that they could identify them,” he says. “There are so many stories in history associated with manu; they’re like the first people. They’re all particular messengers.” Each of the 12 birds is shown in settings that convey symbolic tales of myth and legend. “The backgrounds on the works will give you clues,” explains

Robin. The story of piwakawaka, the fantail, he says, has its associations with the haka, and laughter, but also with death. Amongst other things, the painting includes rata, which is associated with those who have passed on. Then there is the tui, which Robin has painted representing the doorway to the twelfth heaven (pumotomoto), where the esoteric knowledge is. The tui guards this doorway. “So, he’s got the ability to korero, in the old way; he was trained as a speaker of karakia.” “And the ruru. In Taranaki carving, they’ve got the big ruru eyes. They’re the kaitiaki. All their human people are carved with large eyes.” “I use birds all the time,” says Robin. “Because you can say things with birds that you can’t necessarily say with people. You can tell the story. I associate them with another form of the tribe – each one has their own tribe, their own habits, their own ways, their own memories and their own processes.” MONZA Gallery owner Philly Hall is thrilled to be hosting such a prestigious show. “I’m really happy to have this exhibition here because it gives the locals a chance to see Robin’s amazing work,” she says.

There’s some good news for motorists who are getting the hump about the bump on SH60 at Bird’s Hill. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (WKNZTA) have a plan to realign the road and restore two-way traffic. The bump, which appeared around a month ago, resulted in the northbound lane being closed, a temporary speed limit being imposed, and the installation of traffic lights. WKNZTA’s system manager for Top of the South Andrew James explains that the agency had to put the brakes on plan A. “Originally Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency was going to install some drainage into the slope at Bird’s Hill and put some rocks at the toe [the base of the slope]. However, the slope has continued to move and be unstable, made worse in the recent heavy rainfall.” So, he says, it’s onto plan B. “As a result, we are looking to do a minor realignment of the road – about four metres laterally – so that we can safely run two lanes of traffic without a temporary speed limit.” Despite these measures, Andrew accepts that the bump will probably be back at some stage. “We anticipate further slip movement in the future and will address this on a case by case basis.”

The South Island Secondary Schools Orienteering Championships were held recently, with Anya Murray taking out the Senior Girl’s Sprint around the Picton foreshore, ahead of others in the NZ team. Golden Bay’s first ever relay team of Anya and Lani Murray and Emma Pawley were placed 2nd in the Senior Girl’s relay. This was Emma’s first event and she claimed 1st place in the Novice Year 9 Girl’s grade. Lani ran up a grade getting a 5th and 6th. Ten days later, Anja, Lani and Isaac Pawley headed to Hawkes Bay for the NZ Secondary Schools Orienteering Championships. Lani took gold in the Junior Girl’s Sprint, a clear 90 seconds ahead of her competitors. With up to 50 competitors per grade, small errors cost Anya and Isaac who had to settle for 16th and 31st respectively in the senior grades. In the Long Distance, Lani was 7th, Anya 12th and Isaac 25th. On day three, GBHS fielded a relay team in the Senior Boys section (albeit with two girls in it). Lani led out coming in a respectable 7th, ahead of over half of the field of senior boys, and Anya improved the placing to 5th with a very accurate run. Isaac also ran well to bring the team home for 7th overall. 3

LE T TERS It’s dog eat dog in the bird world

Before we consign the weka to a list of birds that may need monitoring, and possibly controlling, we should consider the following: The kotuku (white heron), Australasian bittern, Australasian harrier hawk, karearea (New Zealand falcon), ruru (morepork) and kotare (kingfisher) all occasionally or even frequently, during breeding season, eat other animals and birds. This can include rats, mice, gekos, eggs, nestlings, eels, frogs, tadpoles, wetas, snails, koura, carrion, ducks, sparrows, herons, chickens, gulls, pigeons, plovers, petrels, and egrets. The falcon can tackle and kill other birds twice its size without difficulty. I once witnessed a white heron snack down on a sparrow that had been happily foraging crumbs left by customers at a cafe in Mapua. Amanda Tomlinson

Free speech fuelling the far-right?

In The GB Weekly (6/8), Victoria Davis speaks of a “thick layer of secrecy around the Christchurch killer”. I recommend Jeff Sparrow’s book Fascists Amongst Us - Online Hate and the Christchurch Massacre. It is my understanding that the publishing of this book was withheld until after the trial and sentencing. The author manages to illustrate the far-right influences of “Person X” and clearly articulate his trajectory using clear evidence. What is obvious from the book is that online forums and commentary on social media have certainly contributed to the far-right, fascist movement, of which “Person X” is a part. Jenny Bennett

Environmental planning an opportunity

In response to Jo Richards’ article “Environmental Planning” (GBW 6/8). Councils in New Zealand assume a position of delegated power and authority. Delegation is the assignment of authority to another person or organisation to carry out specific activities. Power can be described as the ability of one person or organisation to influence other people to bring about desired outcomes. These powers help to keep things working for us. Without rules and regulations it would be a free-for-all and we would squabble like children. Councils are influenced by central government to uphold certain laws and policies, eg, economic growth initiatives. Council is also influenced by private groups like Waimea Irrigators, Marine Farming Association, Federated Farmers and Fonterra. At a lesser scale, groups such as Forest & Bird, Friends of Golden Bay and other non-government organisations seek to have influence. Lobbying for business expansion has largely been what shapes our direction as a nation. Why? Because money greases the wheels of politics. Where is all this industrial expansion heading many of us ask? The common answer is, “It’s the economy stupid”. This is a popular narrative used by Bill Clinton’s campaign team in 1992 to focus their efforts on winning power. Let’s not be fooled into thinking that wealth creation equals continued success. It’s the environment that provides us a stable base to exist from. Without a stable climate how can we have a stable society? Without clean water, air and healthy soil how can we be healthy? The re-creation of the TEP must guide us forwards carefully. Marcus Brooks

Vision for Waitapu emerges Continued from page 1 ...the longer-term plan.” Although the control of freedom camping is very closely linked to the issue of public access, the report explains that, as the site is owned and managed by WKNZTA, it does not fall under the Tasman District Council’s Freedom Camping Bylaw. However, the agency has contacted camping websites and apps to advise them that Waitapu is not a freedom-camping site, and is considering changing the legal status of part of the site to enable enforcement. One of the themes that attracted the most feedback was that of site design and layout, with the public suggesting enhancements such as removing the existing rock barriers, improving signage, planting natives, providing picnic tables, and removing gravel piles. While the report explains that “All comments and ideas will be considered by Waka Kotahi and Manawhenua ki Mohua as part of the longer-term plan for the site,” it is also stated that a decision has already been taken concerning gravel piles, which will be “removed over time”. The report concludes by emphasising the long-term, collaborative nature of the initiative. “…Improving Waitapu

is a journey that will take time – we thank everyone for their patience.

COUNCIL MATTERS with Councillor Celia Butler Council is looking ahead to the legislative changes coming its way from central government, and it is a daunting prospect. The Three Waters Reform is now underway. Thus far, councillors and householders are pretty much all in the same boat as regards knowing the detail of what it is going to mean for our community, particularly in regard to costs, and having a voice both now and in the future. Because of the ongoing and increasing water-related costs to councils, the Three Waters Reform is placing council water assets (including debt, responsibility and costs of providing for water supplies, wastewater systems, possibly stormwater, and also, crucially, the charging for water services) with one of only four new publicly owned owner/operator water “entities”. These are large enough to provide economies of scale and able to borrow larger amounts than councils can. Our allocated entity comprises Te Tai Ihu (Top of the South), Wellington, and the east coast up to Gisborne Council. The details of the legal status of the entities are yet unknown, though the assurance is that they will be publicly owned. That is an area of concern for me, particularly in regards to accountability of the entity. TDC, like all councils, is able to “opt in or out” of the reforms. That decision is concerning some people, but will come much later in the year when we have more information and there has been more analysis of how it will affect our communities. Unless joining up becomes compulsory, council will consult the community on that decision. As I see it, there are risks either way. Opting out could see TDC having to pay a lot more for higher-standard infrastructure in the future. This could be passed on in the various water rates. Opting in would mean TDC would lose

the assets and control of water charges to the new entity. Compared with some other councils, TDC is reasonably up-to-date with its water infrastructure, and has 10 years’ worth planned in the Long Term Plan, but does have the debt-ridden Waimea Dam project and unexpected repairs and replacements. Council will provide more analysis of how it will affect TDC to government by 1 October, but will not decide on the “opt in or out” until later in the year when more is known. To prevent a council being financially “worse off” if it opts in, the Government has made payments of $2m and $0.5m to TDC. In another part of the Three Waters Reform, the new water regulation entity, Taumata Arowai, soon takes over control of drinking water safety from the District Health Boards. It intends to raise the standard of household water supplies, including rural supplies, on the basis that everyone is entitled to the same standard. Many of us access pure water already, and yet we will have to do more. Filtration and UV sterilisation will eventually be required at any property with private supply from a stream, well, bore or roof. A “provider” of water to 10 or more buildings must have a drinking water safety plan by 2026. If council opts in to the Three Waters Reform, then all council water schemes will be charged for by the new entity. See dia.govt.nz/Taumata-Arowai-EstablishmentUnit#overview-of-water-services-bill As well as these two big changes, we have the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management (NPS-FM) which is concerned with water quality in the environment. Council has made detailed submissions to the government about all the proposed changes.

Review: The Suicide Squad

ALISTAIR HUGHES

The Suicide Squad is at essence a super-villain equivalent of 1967’s The Dirty Dozen. The worst of DC Comics’ worst are recruited from maximum security prison for secret missions with an infinitesimal probability of survival. It’s an intriguing concept and might even sound familiar to some – because, like the squad themselves, this entire film has been given a second chance. The 2016 Suicide Squad also starred Margot Robbie as the irrepressible Harley Quinn in exactly the same scenario, but the film was generally agreed to be so awful that this year’s version all but ignores it. Cherry picking only the scant best elements, including Viola Davis as harder-than-nails operations director Amanda Waller, the otherwise all-new The Suicide Squad is an enormous improvement and a genuinely enjoyable big-screen spectacle. Sharing lead billing with Margot Robbie is perennially watchable Idris Elba as a convicted weapons expert who never misses. Blackmailed into joining the mission by Waller, he finds himself in the reluctant company of a gang of B-grade misfits. With abilities ranging from power over rodent life to projecting a deadly stream of polka dots from another dimension, the squad’s success, or even survival, is very far from certain. Their task brings them into deadly contact with hundreds of very expendable troops enforcing a fictional South American dictatorship. Then the film takes a demented swerve into a third act, which will either stretch your credibility past breaking point or have you cheering the reluctant heroes on. In actuality, if you’ve managed to stick with this profane, body count-less, food-colouring overdose of a film this far, you’ll definitely be on board for the climax. What makes it all work is the significant coup of recruiting writer/director James Gunn. Responsible for propelling the previously unknown Guardians of the Galaxy characters to international stardom for the rival Marvel studios, he obviously relished being set loose in a different playground. His particular brand of knowing irreverence and judgement of exactly when to lampoon the genre, or draw sincere emotion from an outlandish situation, pays dividends. And, most importantly, Gunn avoids any mean-spiritedness that otherwise might have easily set the tone for a scenario like this. A hulking man-shaped shark voiced by Sylvester Stallone would happily eat everyone in sight, but really only wants to have a friend, while the hardest of our hard men is revealed as skittishly frightened of rats. Gore is inevitable, but Gunn finds rather ingenious ways of presenting it. Harley Quinn breaks herself out of prison in an exquisitely choreographed cascade of violence that would make John Wick wince, but instead of blood we see her unfortunate former captors spray slow motion fountains of multicoloured flowers. Not only does this give us an insight into the character’s fragmented mind, but somehow also turns carnage into a ballet. With Elba and Robbie headlining the cast, the other players are perfect. Professional wrestler John Cena displays an unsuspected sharp sense of comic timing, and much fun is had with his somewhat dim-witted character Peacemaker, who cannot be convinced that “tighty whities” is not a racist slur. Peter Capaldi unexpectedly appears as a major villain, and relishes his obvious incongruousness by keeping his own Scottish accent and delivering a withering verbal attack on American patriotism. Elsewhere, there is another familiar and welcome face for New Zealand audiences. Though its comic characters are largely obscure even to comic-book fans, the real reason to see The Suicide Squad is the endlessly inventive writing and direction, proving that there are still new and engaging ways to tell stories emanating from the pages of comic books. 6

Living locally, working remotely ROSA VOLZ

“I always thought that I would end up living here when I was 50 – living a quieter life,” says new resident in the Bay, Anna Dean. Anna has a strong connection with the Bay after spending many months of her childhood, teenage and adult summers here. Until 10 months ago, she resided in Wellington. After saving for eight years for her first home deposit, house-sitting all over the city and walking or biking to her office, she found herself “one of the many people priced out of the Wellington housing market”. In addition, her work environment changed substantially with the advent of multiple lockdowns in the north. “I was here [in the Bay] for lockdown and it really made me realise it was possible to work remotely and live locally. I’ve met a large number of people doing the same thing here too. Everyone from virtual assistants to major project managers in the tech industry,” says Anna. The catalyst for change was multilayered. “I was keen to slow down rather than continue at speed in my life.” So Anna purchased her first home here and is now living the “new” Kiwi dream, living locally and working remotely from her “tiny wee bach”. Nationally, the change in remote employment can be attributed to Covid-19. In September 2020, the Stats NZ household labour survey reported that in Level 4 lockdown, 42% of employed people worked from home, with the number reducing to 29% with the shift to Level 1. Prior to Covid-19 and the first lockdown, Stats NZ reported that 15% of employed people worked from home. Wellington-based recruiter John Downs-Carroll has observed a change in how companies position job opportunities and flexible working conditions. “A number of Wellington workplaces, such as IRD, have reduced office space with the expectation that a proportion of their workforce will work remotely.” Trained as a professional journalist, and with an extensive background across the art, film, hospitality and retail sectors, Anna has a solid supply of remote work, from new and existing

clients, as well as work locally with the Takaka co-housing neighbourhood initiative and individuals needing business consultancy. To work remotely, she utilises a combination of video conference, phone, email, messaging and team collaboration toolsets, all underpinned by the necessary 4G internet connection. Anna feels it’s highly important to attract more working people who contribute to the local economy in changing ways. “Technology is changing everyone’s lives and it’s crucial to make sure the Bay isn’t only attracting retirees as the only people who can afford to buy here.” Today Anna travels to work with clients in Auckland or Wellington about once a month. “At first I thought that I would be in Wellington every week. The reality is that once you are here [in the Bay], to properly slow down you need to change your mindset. “While the pace of life takes some getting used to, it’s definitely working.”

The link between high levels of nitrate in drinking water and adverse health outcomes is well established. While less is known about the potential harm caused by lower nitrate levels, current research is producing some worrying results. University of Otago research fellow Dr Tim Chambers will discuss his research on this topic in a public talk in Takaka next Friday. Dr Chambers’ analysis revealed that the probability of premature birth increased by almost 50 per cent with a nitrate concentration of 5 milligrams per litre (mg/l) of drinking water – a much lower level than was previously thought to be safe. Dr Chambers noted the chances of something going wrong went up by two-and-a-half times at 10 mg/l, still below New Zealand’s “safe” level of 11.3 mg/l. With 138,000 New Zealanders drinking water with nitrates at a level of 5 mg/l or above, the findings deserve serious consideration by NZ health authorities, says Dr Chambers. The next phase of his research involves determining the relationship between nitrate levels in drinking water and rates of bowel cancer. Dr Tim Chambers’ talk is at the GB Community Centre on Friday 20 August at 7.30pm. See advert on page 15 of this issue for further details.

GB Community Board – August

GOLDEN BAY SHEETMETAL Metal Flashings

The Golden Bay Community Board (GBCB) meeting, held in Takaka on Tuesday, was done and dusted in well under two hours thanks to a very short public forum and no scheduled presentations.

Public forum

0274 205 933

Starting off contributions from the public, Jenny Bennett spoke on behalf of a group of around 10 who had gathered in the meeting room. Her address concerned the official naming of new roads and began by criticising the name Tyssen Street which developer Des Paine had proposed for his subdivision in Ligar Bay. She urged Tasman District Council as a “treatycentred organisation” to alter its policy so that iwi would need to be consulted on all new names – not just Maori names. Such a change she said would mark a shift from a “very colonial perspective” to one that reflected a “bicultural” approach. Following last month’s GBCB meeting (GBW 16/7) it was agreed that the board would consult with iwi before making a decision on the name of the new Ligar Bay subdivision road. That decision was made later in the meeting. Mike Delceg inquired whether the proposal to install a pedestrian crossing at the top of Motupipi Street had progressed. Board chair Abbie Langford explained that no other road safety projects would be considered until the outcome of the trial layout at the junction between Commercial Street and Meihana Street was known.

Perfect for couples, a playground for families and a paradise for hikers!

Bridgers Hollow bridge

The decision as to where to install the previous Bridgers Hollow bridge structure, that NZTA removed when the Takaka to Paines Ford cycleway was constructed, has yet to be made. The board had agreed at the July meeting (GBW 16/7) to ask the community for suggestions as to where it should be re-deployed. There are currently three options – two for the Rec Park and one at Patons Rock. Abbie undertook to consult with TDC staff about the safest and most appropriate location for the structure.

Discretionary funding

Two applications for $500 grants were considered. A decision whether to fund the Rec Centre’s annual costs of transporting its recycling waste to the collection point had earlier been deferred (GBW 16/7) but a brief discussion amongst board members resulted in a consensus view that it was inappropriate to grant the funding. “It should be part of the running costs of the building,“ said Averill. The other application from Te Whare Mahana Trust to help purchase a trailer for their recycling business was accepted on the grounds that it was “a good community service” and “ticks all the boxes”.

Naming roads

Up until now, everything had been smooth sailing, but when the discussion over a new road name for the subdivision off Matenga Road, Ligar Bay was revisited, the meeting hit some choppy waters. Joining the meeting via conference phone, chair of Three Waters Reform The board expressed its collective concern about the need Manawhenua ki Mohua Barney Thomas explained the cultural and historical significance of for community consultation the subdivision’s location to before TDC decides whether indigenous people. “Ligar Bay to opt in to the Government’s is recognised as a stronghold major shake -up in water GB Community Board member Grant Knowles speaking of Ngati Rarua,” said Barney. resource management. Board about the Government’s Three Waters proposal “Iwi has nominated names member Averill Grant started that have a connection. It’s the conversation. “There needs to be discussion with the community,” said Averill. “It’s very really important for Ngati Raura to have their historical places marked on the land.” political.” After a short diversionary debate about the lack of iwi Fellow board member Grant Knowles agreed. “It needs full representation on the community board and “200 years of public consultation.” Board member Dave Gowland was concerned about the compromise”, the meeting got back on track when Abbie loss of local control and accountability over the district’s water proposed adopting one of the suggested iwi names – Wera Way resources and assets. “It will destroy another bit of democracy.” – rather than Des’s Tyssen Way, as the new name for the road. Initially the board was split on the decision, but after Following the discussion, a resolution was drafted on behalf of the board: “That the Golden Bay Community Board requests intervention from Des who accepted the proposal on the the Tasman District Council undertake public consultation from proviso that it would not set a precedent for naming of the Tasman District residents prior to making any decision to opt subdivision’s four other roads, it was passed. in or out of the Three Waters proposal.” Action Sheet Following a rapid review of the action sheet and GB Museum The board formally acknowledged the six-month report correspondence, the meeting closed around 11am.

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.

Water leaks matter

Nelson Tasman Civil Defence is looking for local volunteers in Golden Bay to help their communities in an emergency. If you want to make a real and positive difference in your community, are enthusiastic, committed with a can-do attitude, have a desire to learn new skills and volunteer in the community, and can smile when the going gets tough, then this is for you!

Do you realise if you discover a water leak on your property you may be entitled to a refund of some of your bill? To ensure water is used efficiently, we are offering an incentive to get people to fix leaks on their properties, both commercial and residential, but the rules have changed slightly.

To be able to have a role within a Civil Defence Centre (CDC) you need to have an understanding employer or home situation that allows you to go and help others at short notice, be over the age of 18 and have a satisfactory NZ Police check. Come along and attend a free half day workshop to become an effective volunteer within a CDC, providing a hub for welfare and information services in an emergency. This workshop will be on Saturday 18 September, 9.00 am –1.00 pm, at the Collingwood Area School Hall. Registrations required. Contact Nelson Tasman Emergency Management on em.admin@ncc.govt.nz or 03 543 7290.

The best way to check if there is a water leak at your home is to turn off all appliances in your house that use water, like dishwashers and washing machines and check your water meter. If the meter continues to spin, then you could have a leaking pipe somewhere on your property. You will need to call a registered plumber to find the problem, repair it and check that there are no other leaks, then contact us for a refund on the amount of water that has leaked. Commercial and industrial water users need to record their water use monthly, for inspection by the Council on request, in order to apply for a rebate. All applications must be made within six weeks of the most recent water invoice. Visit our website for more information.

Second Hand Sunday is on this Sunday, 15 August It’s a fun way for Tasman residents to declutter and rehome unwanted household goods for free – anything from chairs, books, clothing or leftover bits and pieces from building projects – and a good chance to scour the region’s streets looking for pre-loved treasures. The address list of participants will be published on our website at midday on Friday 13 August. Visit tasman.govt.nz/shs for more information.

What will be happening We will be digging trenches under the road to install cabling for the traffic lights. During the night work there will be some noise. We will be using diggers, compactors and Hydrovac truck (contains a water blaster unit) to complete the work. Parts of High Street will be down to one lane, with stop/go traffic management in place. There may be delays of up to 5 minutes. A temporary speed limit of 30km/h will also be in place. Emergency services will be able to use the road at all times. This work is being completed at night to minimise disruption and to ensure safety for people driving through High Street and businesses on High Street. We are also undertaking construction work during the day from Monday to Friday. By working during the day and at night, we will be able to complete this work before the busy summer season. We appreciate there may be some inconvenience and we thank you for your patience while we get the job done.

Oh what a night! It was a sell-out crowd at the Golden Bay High School Lipsync 2021 performance. The annual event was held at the school hall for two nights last week. As the title suggests, Lipsync is a production comprising a series of student and staff lip-synchronised dances and skits, forming a night of hilarious and spectacular entertainment.

The event is organised, produced and hosted by the Year 13 students alongside Jan Stark (head of English). Jan has run the event since 2004, picking up the reins from the original founder, Neil Wilson. Jan is thrilled with this year’s performances. “What pleases me is that the standard of acts has increased, and the leadership of our young people shines through.”

Emma Harwood, all played for Motueka during the season. In the final, Motueka were down four tries to one at half-time but clawed it back in the second half to win 39-32. The girls also played in the rain last Sunday in Motueka before the Tasman Women’s game. Although leading by four tries to one at half time, they narrowly lost 20-22.
