Heaps hooked at fishing competition

The banquet of fish caught during the Pohara Boat Club Fishing Competition over Waitangi weekend saw amateur anglers green with envy. There were fish of all types, weights, and legal sizes, including a 10.9kg beast of a snapper caught by seasoned seadog Chris Ray. And, had they hauled it on the boat, the metre-plus-long blue shark hooked and eagerly released by Colin and Kelly Jaquiery may have beaten the records fins-down. Keen for some fishing tips, young entrants Lucas McCleely and Aleisha Best were asked where they got their catch. The retort was quick. “Secret spot!” replied Lucas. Colin was less schtum. “I go where I want, and the fish come to me. The trick is using lots of burley. There is plenty of gurnard and snapper around, and blue cod is coming back.
Every year it’s improving,” he beamed. Although the sea on Saturday morning was a bit rough on the guts, by mid-afternoon the winds died down to provide perfect fishing conditions that continued through the weekend. Newbie entrants Sam Goffriller and Rex Bowden poo-pooed the swell off Separation Point in their little lucky dinghy. Despite a post-late-night chunder off the side, Rex and his mate Sam caught an impressive haul that kept volunteer filleters Chris Ray and Niall Richards busy. “We were sitting in Wainui Bay when I hooked a big one. It could have been a winner were it not for my 30lb rod snapping in two when it was in the holder. I had to buy another rod,” said Rex. Sunday was pick of the days, with a calm sea, blue sky, and many burned singlet
late on the first day of the competition only to realise he’d forgotten to put his rods on the boat. “We introduced the fish auction and filleting to raise funds for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter, as they’ve had a few callouts in the Bay lately,” said Amy. It was a good call as both the freezer trailer for the donated catch and the offal bins were filled to the max by the close of the competition. “We give much of the fish away to friends and family,” said Kelly Jaquiery. “I donated my kingfish to the auction, and our friend Graham is taking today’s catch with him back to Auckland to share with his mates.” Her kingfish was hotly contested and was gleefully won by Pete Hamilton, who was determined to take it home to his Tata bach for dinner.

Inside:
shoulders as evidence. The car park was chocka with vehicles and boat trailers of the 106 entrants, such that latecomers had to find a park elsewhere. In addition, the boat club bar and deck were humming with supporting spectators. Organisers Amy Ashford and Graham Baigent went above and beyond to ensure a win-win for everyone. The horde of generous sponsor prizes they netted exceeded expectations. A top prize Weber BBQ donated by Hammer Hardware was awarded to Craig Hodgkinson for the impressive 10.45kg seven-gill shark that he and skipper Danny O’Neil reeled in. Of course, everyone has their days when things just don’t go right, and the “hard luck story award” recognises the saddest of tales. There were plenty of contenders, but the honour went to Kim Bourke for racing out

Feel the heal at Love Vibration Festival
Flower power: NgAngA’s Love Vibration Healing Arts Festival opens this weekend in Collingwood. Photo: Jo Richards. JO RICHARDS
It opens at new moon, takes in Valentine’s Day and closes on NgAngA’s birthday; Collingwood’s Love Vibration Healing Arts Festival begins today and runs through to next Wednesday. The free six-day event promises “innovation, fascination and delight, with great healing happening as it unfolds - inevitably building a stronger spirit within all communities involved,” says NgAngA who is chief organiser and the brains behind the festival. He believes the celebration and coming together will be a welcome antidote to the ongoing pandemic. “It couldn’t come at a more crucial time with us being restricted and encouraged to separate and hold fears over the outbreak of Covid-19.” The festival programme is packed with activities and entertainment. “We are offering very inspiring talks and workshops along with uplifting live music, also ‘the love playlist’, artistic exhibitions, parades and performances,” says NgAngA. “It will be an exciting environment for all age-groups, families and visitors.” While centred around the former MAD Cafe (now the Stay Away Cafe), the festival will spread out to encompass the colourful garden courtyard, Collingwood Memorial Hall and “street theartre”. Key messages will also be spread out to a wide audience using a variety of media. “An Auckland TV production team, Kevin and Co, are coming down to document the festival, which will be very helpful to expand the variety of healing and awarenesses being presented,” explains NgAngA. “Furthermore a local radio enthusiast is establishing a broadcasting facility on
107 FM to advertise and record live event happenings, conduct on-the-spot interviews and reviews, plus comments and daily activity announcements.” ‘Love Vibration Festival’ 12 to 17 February, Tasman Street, Collingwood. Entry free. Enquiries phone 021 107 6312.

LE T TERS Climate commission response
Living up to the “Boomer”: Predictable outrage from all of those “adults” who have grown rich, and want to be wealthier, through fossil fuel consumption, creaming the property market, over-stocking etc. Have they not heard the voices of New Zealand youth? School Strike for Climate Change? Greta Thunberg? Do they decry Extinction Rebellion as pesky troublemakers? Must they loudly undermine governmental plans to start making the actual hard changes that are required before the roller coaster jumps the rails? Thirty years is already too long avoiding progress in the right direction. The previous five years saw minimal changes but could have been used to start transitioning to these current must-do timeframes. Climate change is real. It’s happening now. This isn’t a points-scoring political exercise. All shades of government and business must heed, and adhere to, the Commission’s recommendations. Stop piddling in the pool and grow up to be a life-saver. Beth McCarthy
Communicative councillor Celia
This is my first column for 2021, so I want to start by wishing everyone here in West Coast-Tasman a happy new year. I hope you all had a proper break, wherever you were. And to those of you who worked through, my sincere thanks for helping to keep us all going. My Labour team reunited in Nelson last week for our “away caucus”. That’s something Labour MPs do every year to kick things off – but our families join us there too, which makes it particularly special. In Nelson the Prime Minister’s focus was on the very issues I spent my summer discussing with friends and family around the barbecue: Covid-19 and housing. She updated us on the Government’s Covid response, including our vaccine roll-out plan. There is plenty to look forward to this year but, as the recent Northland case reminded us, we aren’t out of the woods yet and cannot become complacent. The Prime Minister also revealed where the 8,000 extra public and transitional housing places announced in Budget 2020 will go. Since taking office we’ve added 4,579 newly-built state homes across New Zealand, and the Government is committed to continuing our public house build programme at pace and scale. I’m excited to relay that, according to our new Public Housing Plan, by 2024 the total number of public and transitional housing places in West Coast-Tasman will have grown by 543 since 2018. That means by 2024 this Government will have delivered 18,350 new public and transitional housing places across the country. It’s easy to lose sight of what these extra places will mean. Ultimately, each is another family that doesn’t have to sleep in a car or a garage; another family with a place to call home, even if only for a short time while more sustainable accommodation is arranged. Plus, new builds will boost economic activity, creating employment and apprenticeship opportunities for people all over New Zealand. Historically, Labour has led the charge in supplying public houses for the most vulnerable in our communities. I am proud to be a member of this Labour Party that is once again bringing much needed housing support to people in need. There is no silver bullet to fixing the housing crisis we inherited. Our work on public housing is just one piece of the puzzle. We’re also preventing homelessness by expanding the Housing First Programme, modernising tenancy laws to give renters some security, making it easier to build houses by replacing complex planning laws and investing in infrastructure, and helping more families into houses with our progressive home ownership scheme. There is more to do, and it’ll take time to solve a problem that’s been decades in the making, but we’re committed to tackling New Zealand’s housing crisis. I can’t wait to share more good news with you as the Government rolls out further initiatives to support this work in the coming months. There is certainly plenty to look forward to.
May I congratulate Celia Butler on her first monthly report on council matters (GBW 5/2). This is the first time, since I came here 15 years ago, I have experienced an elected councillor make an effort to communicate their role with us in a sincere and open manner, via this publication. The nearest councillor prior to you was Martine Bouillir, who tried hard to share her challenges through her personal email list. This is the character we need to establish trust, as an elected representative, to communicate the trials and tribulations of trying to juggle all the complications of representing us and following the Local Government Act, which restricts freedom of actions, and leadership.
Keeping dogs and penguins apart
The recent dog attack on a little blue penguin at Tata beach could quite easily have been avoided. This letter is an appeal to dog owners to please put your dog on a lead and walk your dog down onto the beach away from shoreline vegetation. Many of our penguins nest and moult in flax bushes, cutty grass and in sand burrows along our beaches. The Trust does its best to educate dog owners through flyers, social media and signage. Like us on Facebook and learn more about this taonga we are privileged to have in the Bay. Cynthia McConville, chair Mohua (Golden Bay) Blue Penguin Trust

Good Habits are a UK alt-folk duo, telling stories and turning heads across the globe. Composed of singer-cellist Bonnie Schwarz and accordionist Pete Shaw, they create folk-infused songs that test the limits of their traditional instruments. Fusing folk and jazz within their original songwriting, the eclectic duo present an upbeat yet intimate sound-world of musical storytelling. Having formed less than 15 months ago, Good Habits have performed alongside a line-up of New Zealand’s top acts including Nadia Reid and Lost Tribe Aotearoa. The release of their debut album, Going For Broke, gained them shining reviews in Songlines, appearances in The New Zealand Herald, and a tight tour schedule including performances at New Zealand’s largest festivals: Splore, TSB Festival of Lights, Resolution and many more. Covid-19 left them stranded in New Zealand, but thanks to the warmth and support of new friends, they have made the most of NZ’s triumphant recovery. They return to The Mussel Inn next week, Wednesday 17 February at 8pm, nearly one year on from their original tour - and they cannot wait to bring their new and exciting material back to Takaka. Listen to their latest album Going For Broke via all streaming platforms here: https://ditto.fm/going-for-broke

Estere doesn’t play music - she creates sonic amalgamations that merge culture, language and legend. She plays “electric blue witch-hop,” as she refers to her dimensions of electronic, folk and R&B. The New Zealand Herald called it “a beautiful mix of everything the music world is lauding and lusting after right now.” She has brought her unique live show - she plays her MPC, guitar, keyboards, drums - to Europe, Africa and Asia, including slots opening for Grace Jones and Erykah Badu. Currently on her most extensive tour of Aotearoa yet, celebrating the release of her new concept-album Archetypes, Estere will perform at the Mussel Inn on 21 February. Her new record is based on Jungian theory, quite a departure from the bedroom beats of her previous two albums. The tour will be conducted with sustainability at the forefront, reducing emissions and consumption wherever feasible. A $1 carbon offset has been added into each ticket price, which will contribute to offsetting Estère’s New Zealand tour carbon footprint through tree planting, sustainable energy and community education initiatives.

The reconfiguration of a key road intersection in Takaka has raised eyebrows and questions, not to mention motorists’ blood pressure. The junction between Commercial Street and Meihana Street outside Golden Bay High School was slated for a makeover last year as part of the New Zealand Transport Agency’s Streets for People initiative. But when the traffic lights went up and the cones went down on the day school reopened after the summer break, it still came as a surprise to many locals. The traffic control popped up again Tuesday morning. According to NZTA, the aim of Streets for People is “to support communities to shape their towns and streets in ways that allow more people to move around safely and create interesting spaces for people to enjoy”. For Takaka this involves the construction of a raised crossing and speed
humps on Rototai Road plus a trial closure of the link road between Meihana and Commercial Streets using planter boxes. Street furniture and other improvements are set to follow the construction work. The first stage which got underway last week involves relocating the street light and realigning the kerb at the MeihanaCommercial Street intersection to allow long vehicles to make the now very sharp left turn from Meihana St onto Commercial St. As the project progresses, TDC intends to consult with the community to measure the success of the temporary solutions and will make adjustments based on the gathered data to determine any permanent changes. In the meantime, pop-up traffic controls at the site may become a regular feature outside Golden Bay High School.

Onekaka’s one-day music festival RONNIE SHORT
The Onekaka hall and domain is the venue set for a community summer festival hosted by event manager Liam McFarland. Set for Saturday 20 February, from 10am until 12 midnight, the festival has a lineup of 12 artists, all from the Tasman area and mostly from within Golden Bay. Well-known local musicians will be performing, including Superdexta (comprising Dale Westerink, Sam Hopley and Ari As); Korimako brings world music by Hera Livingstone; and DJ Galanjah, to name a few. “We begin with folk and world musicians, before moving to reggae and rock artists and ending with DJs,” says Liam. This is the second time Liam has run the event and he is ticking all the boxes, with all permits and consents approved via Tasman District Council and the Onekaka hall committee. There will be a Fire Warden in attendance, extra portaloos hired, traffic management and off-road parking in the paddock next to the hall. Camping will be allowed “for a donation”. In addition to the music, stallholders will be selling their wares, including food stalls, artisans, and vendors from The Mussel Inn and Roots Bar. Information platforms are envisaged, to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas concerning environmental and social issues. Liam said these will be co-ordinated by Sol Morgan of GroWise Consultancy. Liam invites local artists to bring art installations. He will be exhibiting a painting

BOOK REVIEW: The Lying Life of Adults
POLICE REPORT
REVIEW BY ELEANOR WILSON
Elena Ferrante is the pseudonym used by the author, who has decided to keep her real name a secret. Her previous bestselling novels include The Neapolitan Quartet, a series of four books of which the first, My Brilliant Friend, was adapted for the stage. The central character of The Lying Life of Adults, and also the narrator, is Giovanna, the only daughter of enlightened academic parents. Their close friends have two daughters, Angela and Ida, of similar age to Giovanna, and the three girls grow up together in a prosperous suburb of Naples, sharing values and experiences. Giovanna’s growing awareness of herself as a young teenager is shattered by a chance remark of her father’s. She loves and admires her father, and when he comments that she is beginning to look like his estranged sister, Vittoria, whom he has always described as ugly and spiteful, she begins to question her own identity. A crucial experience at this point in her life is her introduction to her aunt, Vittoria – a meeting which she insists on in order to confront the imagined likeness. This results in an intense love-hate relationship in which Vittoria’s extreme energy and emotionalism contrast with her violent conduct and prejudice. Through Vittoria, Giovanna learns more about her father, which upsets her previous image of him and makes her question the previously secure foundations of her life. The breakup of her parents’ marriage with the disclosure of hidden infidelities confuses her more. Vittoria’s “godchildren”, as she calls them, the sons and daughter of her dead lover, become Giovanna’s friends. Through them she becomes familiar with the lower districts of Naples and explores a very different way of living, down to the local dialect, which to her sounds coarse and often difficult to understand. She explores her sexuality through her new friends, and is torn between two worlds, returning to her own home confused and resentful. She risks alienating her childhood friends, Angela and Ida, by her increasingly rebellious attitude. The two sides of Neapolitan life are presented vividly. Giovanna’s father had striven hard to escape what he sees as the limitations and vulgarity of his origins in the lower regions of the city, while his sister, Vittoria despises and hates him for what she believes is a betrayal of their common background. The conflict between the two cultures is further illustrated by the young academic, Roberto. Like Giovanna’s father he has managed to break free from the district where he was

You will notice we don’t generally report any details relating to this type of offending for obvious reasons. 5 February: A 24-year-old local male was issued a $200 infringement notice and 50 demerits for driving with excess breath alcohol. He was forbidden to drive for 12 hours. Breath alcohol readings between 250mcg/l and 400mcg/l result in an immediate infringement notice and demerits as in the above case. Over 400mcg/l (the old limit) earns the driver an appearance before the court and a minimum disqualification from driving of six months. 1 February: A 32-year-old Christchurch male was charged with driving whilst disqualified (third and subsequent) after being found driving on Pakawau Bush Road. His Toyota ute has been impounded and will likely be confiscated by the courts. More burnouts have appeared on the Takaka Valley Highway near Pigville. If you witness or hear this activity please call 111 immediately and we shall give the individuals the attention they seem to crave. Police attended a couple of minor traffic crashes – thankfully nobody was seriously injured. Police will be focussing road policing efforts on distractions over the next month. Primarily cellphone use. Please keep your wits about you, school is back and our rangatahi are bicycling and walking the streets. Stay safe out there.

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.

Microplastics creating a mega problem
Micro litter: pre-production pellets, and other plastic fragments, contaminate beaches all over the world. Photo: Jo Richards. JO RICHARDS
Plastic microlitter is fast becoming a mega problem for the global environment, according to some scientists and environmental groups. One of those addressing the coming “polymergeddon” is research consultant Dr Grant Northcott, who recently visited Takaka to talk about the issue. Invited by Golden Bay’s Marine Farming Impact Group (MFIG), Grant is co-leader of a five-year, $12.5million research study Aotearoa Impacts and Mitigation of Microplastics (AIM2). Following a brief introduction by MFIG’s Rod Barker, Grant proceeded to describe the nature, sources and effects of microplastics before outlining the objectives of AIM2. Microplastics, he explained, are generally defined as polymer particles between 100 microns to 5mm in size, and are categorised into two main types. Primary microplastics are those intentionally manufactured, the prime example being pre-production polymer pellets (also known as nurdles) used in the fabrication of plastic items – from phone cases to chairs and car dashboards. Secondary microplastics are random-sized fragments produced by physical breakdown of larger items such as bottles, or fibres shed from clothing. As Grant moved on to answer the question “where do they come from?” the scale and complexity of the problem quickly became apparent; microplastics find their way into the environment from myriad sources, including urban activities, wastewater, landfills, road dust and river sediment, horticultural and domestic soils, and marine activities. And, like the genie in the bottle, once microplastics find their way into the environment, they can’t be recovered – in fact they continue to be broken down into even smaller, and more elusive, nanoplastics. Being globally ubiquitous materials that can take hundreds of years to chemically degrade, plastics accumulate in many parts of the biosphere – most noticeably in the marine environment. Referring to a rather bleak scenario, Grant pointed out that, by the middle of the century, the mass of plastic in our seas is forecast to exceed that of all fish. “There will be 850 to 950 megatonnes of plastic in the world’s oceans by 2050.” Grant explained that although polymer particles are chemically relatively unreactive, they are far from benign. Referring to an analysis of shellfish showing the presence of microplastics, he noted contamination was already widespread. “They are found in all levels of the marine food chain.” The biological impacts of microplastics are not fully understood but they are clearly implicated in numerous sub-lethal effects including reduced growth and reproductive success, endocrine disruption, bioaccumulation of toxic chemicals, and ultimately human food safety. Illustrating the nature and extent of coastal microplastic contamination in New Zealand, Grant described the results of surveys conducted on beaches near to the country’s three main urban settlements, which showed predominantly a mix of fibres and nurdles, each type traceable to a particular source category. The problems are not confined to the marine environment; microplastics also pose a threat to the health of freshwater and terrestrial systems. “Work has shown that there is three times as THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2021

much [microplastics] in soils than in the marine environment; that’s a potential human health impact,” said Grant. In order to progress understanding of the transport, fate and effects of microplastics, and to seek solutions, the AIM2 project assembled an interdisciplinary team, partnering with several New Zealand institutions including ESR, the Cawthron Institute, Scion and the Universities of Auckland and Canterbury. The participating scientists include biologists, environmental chemists, polymer chemists, ecotoxicologists, marine modellers and social scientists. The multiskilled team will work towards achieving the project’s three main objectives: measuring the distribution of microplastics around New Zealand; assessing their environmental impacts; and evaluating mitigation measures to reduce those impacts. Data gathered from surveys of beaches, trawls, shellfish and wastewater treatment plants will be combined with analysis of chemical leaching from, and adsorption by, plastic particles in order to develop a detailed ecotoxicological understanding. The project also aims to develop source-to-sink models, and work through impacts and recovery scenarios to produce policy recommendations. The latter task is where social scientists will contribute their input, which is crucial as decisions taken at the socio-economic beginning of the causal chain are likely to have the greatest influence on solving the microplastics problem. Such decisions have already been taken by the Government, which banned cosmetic “microbeads” in 2017 and single-use plastic bags in 2019. It is currently looking at regulating more single-use plastic items, but Grant says future steps need to be taken in collaboration with the commercial sector. “We need to work with industry.” The three-year project is now entering its second year, so those concerned about “polymergeddon” shouldn’t have to wait too long to read the team’s preliminary findings.
