Sunday’s weather was perfect for one of Golden Bay’s summer highlights, the eagerly awaited Sand Sculpture event at Pohara Beach.

Crowds of kids and families from the neighbouring motor camp and around Golden Bay turned up at mid-morning for the outgoing tide, and for over three hours, dug, scooped and sculpted up an amazing collection of sand art. These were no mere sandcastles; amongst the creations were marine animals, mermaids and other mythical creatures, a surfing Lego-man, Mickey Mouse, the Bismarck and even an orca eating a hammerhead shark.

Golden Bay Arts Council worker Tania Marsden, who organised the event, was thrilled with the response.

“This is a family fun day,” she said. “It’s not a competition - it’s all in the spirit of participating and creativity, and it’s open to everybody. We get whole families, even three generations, but because we have so many different age groups, we can’t categorize the prizes. There is a prize draw at the end; everybody puts in their little donation and their name goes in the box.”

A chilly bin, cafe vouchers and go-cart rides were amongst goodies sponsored by hugely supportive local Pohara businesses.

The traditional Sand Sculpture trophy for the

“Spirit of Participation”, a sand lantern for the group who most “shone”, was awarded to Joel Gemmell and Logan Gearry, both from Wanaka, who met at the beach and decided to collaborate. They have already hatched plans for next year to create a sculpture based on a labyrinth. Other contenders were the “Melting Potatoes”, and eight-year-old Tom from Invercargill, whose army barracks creation was based on the book Kiwis at War. Tania gave special mention and thanks to the “awesome” businesses that support this family event, to Creative Communities who fund the promotions, and to the Pohara Top 10 Holiday Park for allowing access through

the camp and use of their toilet facilities.

Before handing out ice blocks to thirsty workers, she requested that everyone leave the beach as it was found, so that the sculptures could be enjoyed by others before being offered to the tide to take away. “ The Arts Council focus is about strengthening community through the arts,” said Tania. “I’m grateful for this precious Golden Bay beach and the freedom we have to gather here together.

I’m reminded of the saying, “The family that plays together stays together.”

JO RICHARDS

Pohara’s dynamic cafe scene has received a timely boost, as the former Penguin, latterly known at the Mohua Eatery, changing hands recently.

Whereas the Mohua Eatery failed to fly, the relaunched Korora’s Nest is now taking off, thanks to incoming owner Alan Heaton, who moved to Golden Bay a few months ago. The new venture, at the established primo location, will focus on “goodquality tucker, good portions and a small, simple menu,” says Alan, who adds: “If you have too much on the menu, quality can go down.”

Simple, he explains, doesn’t mean bland; time spent travelling across Europe, especially the Greek Islands, have give Alan a taste for traditional Mediterranean cuisine. “The food is rustic and full of flavour.” Greek lamb is one of the evening specialities, but there are also more familiar offerings, such as lunchtime pizzas. These, like all their dishes, are created from scratch by his Dutch-born, French-trained chef, says Alan.

“We make everything on site; all our pizza bases are made to a Neapolitan recipe – and you can build your own toppings.”

The new proprietor, who arrived in New Zealand from the UK 10 years ago and has lived in Christchurch and Nelson, still enjoys travelling, and has thoroughly explored his new home.

“I’ve done motorcycle tours around the whole of the South

Island,” says Alan, adding that he was on one of his biking trips when he discovered what would become Korora’s Nest. “I came over here on a ride, saw it was up for lease, and decided to find out about it.”

Alan says he relishes change and is always “up for a challenge” and keen “to try something totally different”. This has been a good thing: not long after he landed in Christchurch, it was hit by the 2011 earthquake, prompting his move to Nelson where he worked as an engineer, a volunteer for Urban Search and Rescue, and a motorcycle examiner for the regional Institute of Advanced Motorists. But it’s not always been about work; Alan played competitive rugby until he reached 50.

Having also been in the Parachute Regiment, the boss knows the importance of working together to achieve the mission’s objectives – in this case satisfied diners. “I’m a very firm believer in teamwork; treat the team right, and they will look after your customers.”

Just as Alan is listing his range of craft beers and local wines, a delivery of fresh fish arrives at the door, destined for customers’ plates later in the day. “It’s either tarakihi or gurnard – good quality fresh fish,” says Alan, already thinking about turning it into good Kiwi tucker.

JEANINE TAYLOR

Last Saturday eventgoers were treated to a day of excellent music, food and cocktails at the first ever Kiwi Spirit Distillery’s Summer Festival at Motupipi.

An overcast start didn’t discourage well over a 1000 people from flocking to the event. The organisers had gone to a lot of trouble to provide covered seating and shaded areas, which were needed when the sun broke through and spirits lifted. The music was varied and suited the wide range of ages present.

Buses were provided from Collingwood and Totaranui, and the new cycleway from Takaka to Pohara really came into its own, with many people opting to walk or bike.

The atmosphere was strongly festive, and the majority of the crowd were locals. After the year New Zealanders have had, this event provided the perfect opportunity for locals to catch up with one another and some much-needed socialising.

More than one person mentioned how fortunate they were to live in New Zealand and in Golden Bay in particular, given the lockdowns and social restrictions being experienced overseas.

It just made the opportunity to mingle and socialise that much more special.

Cocktails, wine, beer and kombucha were all available, and there were numerous water stations to help the crowd stay hydrated. This was especially appreciated when they were enjoying a dance or two.

“It’s been really, really fun and I’m stoked with the turnout,” said Isabella Knight, sales director for Kiwi Spirit Distillery.

“There are so many locals here, which is good to see. The amount of community input to put it all together has just been fantastic and I think judging by today, people want this event and so we’ll have it every year. We’re so happy and it’s also lovely seeing everyone just smiling. We’ll get better and better and iron out the kinks.”

Isabella mentioned putting in a third bar next year to reduce the queues. In the meantime, she suggests popping into the distillery to sample their wide range of products or try out one of their delicious cocktails.

The updated SR5 Cruiser now boasts 500nM of torque, 150kw, Adaptive Cruise Control, Sat Nav, Heated Leather Seats, Bluetooth, Increase Ride Comfort, 3,500 Tonne Towing, and Toyotas Safety Sense Package. 18” Alloys and enhanced body styling complete the package.

2021 Toyota Yaris ZR Hybrid

Thank you to the caring citizen who blocked the entrance to Taupata Reserve. In the face of TDC’s two-faced policies of funding, at ratepayers expense, thousands of dollars worth of environmental consultation, and in direct disregard of national policy statements, and their own research, to not close this area to freedom camping. Their reasoning is disingenuous and out of touch with ratepayers.

I am so disappointed for the struggling shorebirds and for the future in which I had hoped to see a caring and enlightened approach to all species we need to share this wonderful place with.

Terry Knight’s brilliant vision was on full display last Saturday at the inaugural Kiwi Spirits Festival. With the amazing support of his family, it instantly became a sort of magical Manifestival, one we will be proud to say, at their 10th, that we attended the first. Exceptionally organised, the festival achieved a level of classy excellence in music, food, and spirits which we rarely, (if ever), have witnessed in a Golden Bay event. The folks at TDC should pay attention to the potential of this festival and extend help in any way they can as it will no doubt soar in popularity for years to come. Bravo and kudos to Terry, Isabella, Jeremy and to Andrew’s son, Hunter, who proudly and professionally organised the rubbish squad made up of local young boys. One more feather in Golden Bay’s hat, one more light to the world.

In The GB Weekly (8/1) on page two under TDC Annual Report, (if you blinked you missed it) is the statement “council plans to conduct public consultation on annual maximum rate hikes of 4.5 to 7 per cent over the next 10 years (well above the current 3 per cent cap) as well increasing the council’s external net debt limit from $200m to $260m.

How say you readers? What did the 3 per cent cap mean?

Not to worry, we are the cash cow. We can afford it. If not maybe our grandchildren will.

Thank you dam. Yeah right!

Review: Wonder Woman

ALISTAIR HUGHES

2020 was a year when we really needed heroes. Covid-19 restrictions not only shut down movie theatres across the world, but significant film production as well. The ever-growing legion of cinematic costumed characters we’ve grown so used to was stopped more effectively than by any super-villain.

How wonderful that when one of these brave defenders of mankind finally emerged from beneath the wreckage of a year made even worse by misguided male leadership, it wasn’t the Hulk, or even Superman - it was a woman.

Wonder Woman for Christmas, (or Boxing Day, at least); what better gift could we have asked for?

As often seems to happen with these movie franchises, director Patty Jenkins was not ordinarily interested in making sequels, but fell in love with the character of Diana, Princess of the Amazons, AKA Wonder Woman. Universally lauded for bringing a female sensibility to the first Wonder Woman film in 2017, Jenkins not only delivered a heroine to inspire girls (for once) of all ages, but pulled off the crucial feat of never sexualising the impossibly beautiful Gal Gadot in the lead role.

And this is all very much still intact in Wonder Woman 1984, particularly in the opening scenes set on the Amazons’ legendary Island home of Themyscira. Even the most jaded filmgoers will suddenly remember how thrilling it can be to watch (and hear) an epic action sequence on the large screen. Following the young Diana’s efforts in an exhilarating Amazon competition of skill and speed will leave the audience exhausted in the best possible way.

As the title promises, the action switches to 1984, and we see the adult Diana going about the business of being Wonder Woman in a 20th Century city. There’s a simple joy to the proceedings, (especially her thwarting of a gang of criminals in a busy shopping mall) that we haven’t seen in this genre since Christopher Reeve’s Superman took the time to rescue a cat from a tree.

Set decades prior to other films this character has appeared in, it seems Wonder Woman remains unknown to the general populace. But the idea that the breathtaking vision of a costumed Gal Gadot would go unnoticed and forgotten throughout the 20th Century is perhaps the most credibilitystraining aspect of this film. Except there is also the storyline, fantastical even for comic book heroics. Remembering that Wonder Woman is a character more based in magic and mythology than her male “super-friends” might make the central conceit of a mystical dreamstone that can grant wishes more palatable.

As is standard in superhero sequels, Diana must face two villains this time. In keeping with the less complicated times in which this film is set, neither Kristen Wiig as hapless geologist Barbara Minerva, or Pedro Pascal as desperate businessman Maxwell Lord initially appear as much of a threat to anyone.

They are certainly very charismatic in their roles, but it takes the malign intervention of the dreamstone to transform them both into worthy adversaries for our heroine.

Also in keeping with super-sequels, Diana is gradually losing her powers, an unforeseen downside of her own unwitting dreamstone wish. As its influence is spread far and wide, the overall result of humanity suddenly being able to have anything we want pushes the world towards our ultimate 1980s nightmare. Not the fashions, but nuclear Armageddon.

Of course, Wonder Woman 1984 has its faults, but the cast is certainly not one of them. This is an undemanding spectacle which we, unlike most of the world, are able to enjoy on the big screen.

And if you have any fondness from years gone by for the title character, make sure you stay for the mid-credits scene at the end of the movie. It’s Wonder-ful.

SOL MORGAN

Tim Perring of Rangihaeata has created a smallholding that produces most of his meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit and nuts, plus surplus for others.

Tim’s dream of the quiet, simple life started during his English childhood in Reading, West London. His parents had a farming background but left to live in town. Time spent at his grandparents’ farm in Somerset made its mark on Tim - country lanes lined with hedgerows, honeysuckle and with the sound of pheasants calling.

“I always had a passion for farming.”

To balance the need for financial security while working with animals led him into life as a vet.

“At 40 I realised I needed to slow down from my busy working lifestyle and rethink what I wanted” he explained. “To feel a more meaningful connection with myself, friends and local community.”

Tim became a counsellor, training in Nelson. In 2015, he bought a hectare in Rangihaeata for the country life and to be closer to his daughter Maggie.

It had challenging pakihi soil, previously grazed by horses and cattle. He quickly found cattle pugged the ground so settled for sheep and goats. “The soil dries out in summer and is a bog in winter, so I needed animals that are light on the land.

“A big part of my journey has been working out how best to utilise the land without damaging it further.”

The land was disced and harrowed, and minerals added following a Kinsey soil test. Good fencing was added so he could rotate animals efficiently. He created seven parallel fenced breaks filled with a variety of plants that provide both shelter and fodder for the animals and food for him. Depending on the site, Tim planted black alder, tagasaste, Japanese willow, pears, apples, plums and hazelnuts. The iron pan was penetrated with a crowbar and most of the trees were planted on mounds. Five years on these are producing food and fodder as well as habitat for chickens, pigs and guinea pigs.

Tim has self-shedding Wiltshire sheep, known for good parasite resistance. They grow rapidly and produce quality meat, harvested as lamb, or older ewes as mutton.

His goats are Saanen x Toggenberg, both milking breeds.

The mother gives him two litres of milk every 36 hours and will continue to do so as long as she’s milked, not requiring another kid to do so. Goats also eat weeds such as wetland rushes.

Tim gets Saddleback weaner pigs annually in October. These are suited to outdoor life as they’re less susceptible to sunburn.

With careful use of electric fencing they are reared till May (before it gets too wet), then made into ham and sausages.

Tim trialled turkey but they proved too hard to contain. He has chickens for eggs and meat. An Indian Game rooster is crossed with Red Shavers and Cobbs to produce hardier meat birds finished in 3.5 months. Partridge Wyandottes crossed with his rooster produce a dual-purpose bird that sits on pheasant eggs. He hopes pheasants will flourish on his land.

Khaki Campbell ducks are rotated around with a portable pond, also providing eggs.

“I kill my own animals as I want to take responsibility for what I eat”, says Tim. However he does use a local butcher to process the meat into quality cuts. “Nothing is wasted. Sheep heart, lungs and liver are made into haggis; bones I feed to my three bulldogs; and offal goes into the vegetable beds.”

The homestead isn’t all about animals for food, as his daughter Maggie is keen on guinea pigs, and they have extensive runs containing fruits such as apples, peaches and currants, which benefit from their fertiliser.

The latest addition is a polytunnel, which inherited a well-fertilised patch, and now grows heat-loving crops like capsicum, tomatoes and cucumbers in summer, with more crops planned for winter.

Close to the house are eight large, raised vegetable beds growing strawberries, potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, beans, brassicas and salads. Animal litter and manure feed vegetable beds and fruits. A new berry arbor now grows blueberries, currants, strawberries and raspberries.

Most areas are divided with shelter, combining natives, ornamentals and fruits that create habitat, beauty and productivity. Fruits include citrus, feijoas, apples and more plums. Shreddings from arborist Jack Stevens’ business are used extensively to mulch most plantings. Blood and bone is added when used with some vegetables, and in the hothouse to balance high carbon.

“Recently I have been thinking a lot about community resiliency. Producing as much as we can locally while preserving the environment makes sense, and by doing this together we build a stronger sense of belonging”, concludes Tim. A stall Tim has set up is his way of helping build local resilience. He encourages others to contribute their produce too and dreams of creating a shared vegetable growing cooperative on his land (similar to Fertile Ground).

Living Wood Fair returns this year

Preparations are already well underway for the Golden Bay’s third Living Wood Fair. The previous two events - in 2018 and 2019 - were both major successes, and this year’s fair, scheduled for mid-April, is now starting to take shape.

Thanks to significant funding from Creative New Zealand, plus generous contributions from Te Uru Rakau and Tasman District Council, the 2021 fair promises to be bigger and better, with a wider range of craft workshops and demonstrations, as well as a new cultural dimension.

The event’s director Liv Scott and marketing coordinator Sacha Horton, worked on the Creative NZ funding application alongside Juliet Arnott from Rekindle in Christchurch. They see the funds awarded as a prestigious endorsement of the Fair, and a stepping stone towards establishing it on the national calendar.

“This recognition is indeed encouraging and confirms that the Living Wood Fair has had a great vision and continues to grow into a unique national arts and crafts event,” says Sacha.

Artists, artisans, and forestry experts from Golden Bay and across New Zealand will share their knowledge and skills in all things wood via a variety of demonstrations, workshops and discussions.

Local crafts on show include blacksmithing with Pat Baker of Hell’s Kitchen Forges, and bushcraft with Renford Crump and Colm McEnaney, and the design and construction of ecofriendly small living spaces with Tiny Lifestyle team Liv and Graeme Scott and Simone Kidner.

Artisans travelling from further afield include an instrument maker from Hawkes Bay, a chainsaw carver from Rotorua, the Woodworking Friends from Wellington, a wild willow weaving artist from Nelson, a woodworking expert from Dunedin, and

the Rekindle team from Otautahi.

A number of talented local artists will also exhibit and perform over the weekend. Fairholme Gallery is again collaborating, and a sequel to a successful “Trees” exhibition is on the cards. In addition, Brian and Karen Cooper from Weka Arts will be on site, while renowned artists Robin Slow, Brian Flintoff and Bob Bickerton are working on a very special event.

As preparations step up over the next couple of months, Liv says that the team is looking for volunteers to help with setting up the fair, as well as running it over the weekend and subsequently packing up. Part of the build-up includes two weekend working bees, planned for March.

“If anyone wants to help and be involved we ask them to please send us an email or call us so we can add them to our volunteer list,” says Liv. Market co-ordinators for the fair, Steve and Nerissa Cottle, say: “We are now open to hearing from anyone who would like to have a market stall for crafts or food, and a like-minded free information booth.”

Although the fair reaches out across the country, it’s very much centred in Golden Bay, says Sacha. “It’s a community event which honours the relationship with the land and which celebrates our arts and crafts.”

Living Wood Fair, Totara Whenua, East Takaka on 17-18 April 2021.

Golden Bay A&P Show 2021 Get ready for the Bay’s big day out:

Proud to support the A&P Show Ph 0278 116 243 Office 03 525 8446

JO RICHARDS

Golden Bay’s 124th Agricultural and Pastoral Association Show gets underway at Takaka’s Rec Park from 8am tomorrow and it promises to be a great day out for everyone – locals, summer visitors, tradespeople and competitors – of all ages.

The show is the Bay’s largest single-day annual event and it’s no surprise that it takes a mammoth feat of organisation to make it happen every year. This week, the full committee, aided by local volunteers, assembled at the show grounds on Tuesday to prepare the produce booth, sheep pens, shearing stands, horse jumps, trade stand allotments, sound systems and complete a hundred other tasks. They were all busy over the festive season, too - finalising entries, preparing catalogues, collating prizes, organising trade stands, sorting prize money, chasing trade stand vendors and working with the entertainment and promotions sub-committee while at the same time dealing with a myriad of phone and email messages.

Their combined efforts have created a programme packed

full of interest and entertainment, featuring traditional show classes for goats, sheep and poultry. Throughout the day, horseriders, sheep-shearers, wood-choppers and chainsaw experts will be competing in a series of highly entertaining events.

In the quiet cool of the produce booth, prize-winning baking, preserves, fruit, vegetables, floral arrangements, home crafts, photography, home brewing and cheeses will be on display – all organised by booth manager Nicola Wells and her team.

If the sight of all that produce stimulates the appetite, there are plenty of food and drink options available, including sitdown morning and afternoon tea as well as a full country-style lunch and dessert available in the Recreation Centre Function room. Elsewhere around the grounds, show-goers can graze at food stalls offering everything from burgers to crepes and sushi to ice cream. Caffeine addicts can select their favourite brew from Goodness 2 Go as well as several other outlets around the grounds. For those thirsty for something stronger, The Historic

The executive committee is currently made up of; Patron - Colleen Harwood, president - Duncan McKenzie (pictured above), vice president - Noel Baigent, secretary - Jean Wedderburn, treasurer - Daphne Woods, and members Jim Nalder, Averill Grant and Jill Pearson.

Solly’s sheep shearing competition will run all day. This event always attracts a large crowd happy to sit on the hay bales and marvel at the skill and speed of the expert shearers.

Next door to the sheep shearing is the wood-chop competition arena. This year there will be more than 20 axemen and women from around the South Island, including several NZ reps and local competitors. Competitions include standing and underhand chops, butchers-block and the spectacular jiggerboard. Requiring less physical exertion but an equal level of concentration, operators will choose their chainsaws for a noisy high-noon showdown between Stihl and Husqvarna teams.

Equestrian events, coordinated by Anne and Duncan McKenzie, start at 8am, run throughout day, and range from the miniature horse class to ponies and hunter class competitions.

Immediately after the Grand Parade, Baerbel Hack’s Vaulties will give an exhibition of gymnastics on horseback.

Show-goers who prefer to have a go rather than simply watch should head over to TG Contracting’s digger challenge where they can test their handling skills. Company boss Tristan Graham says it’s open to all. “Anyone six or over and competent is welcome to have a go – it’s free and it’s not a competition just good fun.”

For many, the farm animals are the real stars of the A&P Show.

Unfortunately, there are no cattle competing at the show again this year due to the restrictions imposed as a result of continuing issues with mycoplasma bovis.

The good news is that sheep, goats, roosters, ducks and other fowl will all be gracing the “catwalk” for a shot at glory, with sheep judging running from 9.30-11am while goats and poultry will be assessed between 10am and noon.

For the first time, humans will be performing in the ring in a new “Pantomime Horse race” which is sure to provide a bit of light entertainment just before the Grand Parade gets underway.

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.

Summer water sampling underway

Summer Events are now in full swing so make sure you’re making the most of them. Grab a programme, if you haven’t already, or check it out at tasman.govt.nz and don’t miss any of the fun this summer. Look out for these events coming up in your area.

We monitor a range of sites throughout summer so we can be assured of good water quality for swimming and water sports. However, there can be issues at times, especially following heavy rain when there is a chance of contamination from run-off. To play it safe, you shouldn’t swim in discoloured water or for at least the first 24 hours – and preferably 36 hours – after heavy rainfall.

See local water quality information on our website, tasman.govt.nz/link/swimming-water.

Summer is the perfect time to sort your firewood!

Now is the time to start collecting or purchasing your firewood so you can dry it in time to use in your wood burner next winter. Green wood will not burn efficiently, leaving you with a cold house and a smoky fire which contributes to air pollution.

How you store your firewood is important – keep wood off the ground to avoid moisture seeping up from below, make sure air flow can reach the sides of the pile, and cover the top of the pile to keep rain off.

Good Wood suppliers are a trusted source of dry firewood and can provide either green wood for drying, or seasoned firewood suitable for immediate use. Head to tasman.govt.nz/good-wood for a list of suppliers.
