Affordable home takes shape

JO RICHARDS

The initiative to provide affordable housing in Golden Bay has moved beyond the planning stage and is fast becoming a reality.

Construction of the first of what is hoped to be more than 100 dwellings is well underway at Rockville. On site last Friday, chair of the Golden Bay/Mohua Affordable Housing Trust Chris Bennett, who was labouring alongside the crew, was happy to leave some of the technical explanations to his team.

Builder Renford Crump, who is working with Rick Scott, Chai Pyle, and foreman Rodney Watson to complete the 60-square-metre house within the next few weeks, points to the installed prefabricated wall panels which he says speed up the process significantly.

“It’s a real time-saver. It would take three-anda-half times as long using normal framing. It also means we don’t have to handle fibreglass insulation.”

He explains that the Rockville house is a something of a “proof of concept” with the team expecting efficiency gains to be identified with each build. “It’s our first house and so we are learning. A lot of productive improvements will be used.”

S ome of those improvements are manifested in intelligent future-proofed features which ensure five star accessibility, compliance with tightening energy efficiency standards, and low maintenance costs.

While Renford is clearly enthusiastic about the technical aspects of the construction, he is also very much in tune with the project’s wider goals. “The impulse of the project is to give homes to people in Golden Bay who really need them – and I’m proud to be part of it.”

In the context of the project “affordable” means a total construction cost of around $150,000, a target Chris says is only achievable with the generous contributions from a wide range of businesses. “We’ve had a huge amount of support for the project. It’s only affordable because companies wanted to be part of the solution.”

But even if construction costs hit the target, cash is still required to finance the project – and this is where banks are choosing to create a problem, rather than being part of the solution. “They provide commercial loans at 4.5 per cent but won’t loan to us because we don’t fit into their ‘box’,” says Chris. “I find it crazy that I can easily buy a car or boat which

costs the same as our $150,000 house, but they won’t loan to our house because of a ‘lack of security’.”

Chris remains solution-focused, however, and outlines the project’s medium-term plans. “We will finish Rockville in the coming weeks and then will start on the next house in Hamama for which the building consent has been issued,” says Chris. “We’ve submitted the resource consent application for two pensioner flats at 189 Commercial Street on TDC land so they will be next. And we will shortly be submitting the resource consent for building five accessible houses on Reilly Street on land provided by Paul and Gilda Sangster.”

He explains how these dwellings will be financed. “The funding for the pensioner flats has been offered as a loan to us by local supporters, and we are actively following up on several potential leads to scale up to obtain commercial financing for the next builds,” says Chris, who is looking for substantial backing.

“I’m seeking $20m since that will allow us to do the 100-plus houses we need.”

Tourism strategies and technological changes were under discussion at the recent GB Promotion Association AGM. In attendance were several local business owners plus Visitor Centre staff.

Cheryl Elsey chaired the proceedings.

Cheryl spoke of the changes and challenges experienced since 2011, when the Visitor Centre used photo boards to convey information. It has since moved into the digital age, but even with the advancements of technology, she said, the staff are still busy with visitors wanting face-to-face communication.

Despite the lack of international visitors, Kiwis are snapping up the Visitor Guide brochures, of which 60,000 were printed in 2019. Golden Bay maps are also popular: 35,000 were printed this year “and they all go” said Cheryl. Website use is also going well, with eight sections available, including bookings, video clips, The GB Weekly and events occurring in Golden Bay. Cheryl expressed gratitude to DOC “for an interactive TV system and booking station within the centre”. She discussed the impact of natural disasters such as Cyclone Gita and how government funding throughout Covid has helped keep the centre going.

“All of Golden Bay was suffering through those times,” said Cheryl. “We have come through, with a lot of businesses reporting good recovery, with good occupancy rates, etc.”

Guest speaker Chris Bennett addressed the issue of tourism within Golden Bay, stating, “If you don’t make a plan, you are actually planning to fail – and the plan is, where are we going to be in three to five years’ time?

“One third of every dollar in Golden Bay comes from tourism,” said Chris. “But you’re not doing anything to promote tourism long term.”

Chris suggested that ways are found to “foster more attractions to get people to come and stay longer.”

He proposed that funding could be put toward devising strategies, and advised people to consider what other regions are promoting in their areas. The Heaphy Track, he said, is being “thrashed” by cyclists as Kiwis head to the hills and active ecotourism trends nationwide. Cycling, hiking, kayaking and horse riding are all available here. People cycling the Abel Tasman often carry on through and out of Golden Bay. Continued on page 4

National List MP Maureen Pugh is bringing National’s Spokesperson on Agriculture, Bio Security and Horticulture to a lunchtime public meeting at Pakawau Memorial Hall on Friday 9 July. Hamilton-East-based MP David Bennett says “we’re coming to listen, especially to hear particular local concerns in the primary production space and to see what we can do across the region’s most vital sectors”.

“Water rules and regulations are an area of contention which could surface at a forum like this. Add to that problems around increased business costs caused by restrictions on labour supply are showing up all over the country, and the Significant Natural Areas regime (SNA) are stepping up, so naturally farmers are worried about their private property rights,” David says.

Maureen says a meeting on trade and export growth was well received last month and this July meeting is another chance for local people to share their challenges and give feedback. ”On top of other issues, good farms are being planted for forestry under the current government’s thinking, so I think there will be plenty of issues to deal with,” she says.

The meeting is from 11am–2pm on Friday 9 July at Pakawau Memorial Hall, 1299 Collingwood-Puponga Main Road.

Semester 2 scholarships

$1,000 scholarship towards annual course fees for NMIT programmes commencing in July 2021.

Professional Development scholarships Up to $500 reduction to programme or course fees.

Online study scholarships $1,000 towards equipment to assist and enable a student to study online.

Vet clinic restricts after-hours cover JOYCE WYLLIE

Golden Bay’s vet clinic, based at the Rural Service Centre (RSC) in Takaka, will no longer provide an after-hours service for small animals.

The Takaka clinic has long provided a valuable service to the local community, and plans to continue to do so, but the RSC, like many other New Zealand practices, is currently facing challenges.

The history of veterinarian service in the Bay goes back a long way, starting with the Golden Bay Vet Club which was established in 1953 when, recognising there was a severe shortage of vets post-war, the government established the Veterinary Services Council. The solution to providing a nationwide service for livestock owners was setting up veterinary clubs owned and governed by farmers for farmers.

In the 68 years since the first vet began work in the Bay there have been significant increases in the size of the clinic, the number of staff, and range of services offered, as the community has grown and changed. Now a similar situation to that faced by animal health services all those years ago has recurred – a severe shortage of vets, both in NZ and world-wide.

The situation is largely due to the Covid pandemic which has increased owners’ appreciation for their pets, created uncertainties for vets travelling overseas and accelerated the rate of change. Unsurprisingly, locum vets are in demand but the 50 spaces now agreed in managed isolation and quarantine facilities will not meet the current nationwide shortage.

Small animal cases at the Takaka clinic have doubled

Thank you Golden Bay

in the last 10 years. General Manager Rural Service Centre Dave Egan says that “growth in small animal workload has been exponential in the last 18 months”. This is attributed to the growth in the Bay’s human and animal population, plus a significant demand from pet-owning holidaymakers.

Large practices have vets specialised in equine, dairy, small animals, sheep, poultry, wildlife and surgery, but Golden Bay lacks the scale to support these specialised roles. This means local vets often work outside of their specialised fields. Furthermore, cities generally have specialised after-hours practices so urban vets work only “normal” hours. While this significantly improves work/life balance for vets in these locations, it significantly decreases the appeal for vets to work in isolated areas like Golden Bay where afterhours duties are expected.

Following consultation with the Veterinary Council of NZ on how to tackle such challenges, Golden Bay clinic managers took the decision to discontinue their after-hours small animal service from the Takaka clinic. However, an agreement has been reached with Town and Country Vets in Richmond to answer calls on evenings and weekends, starting at the beginning of July. The regular service for both large and small animals will continue at RSC from Monday to Friday.

On the RSC vet clinic door is the statement, “We believe in a partnership that supports family, farm and our community.”

This partnership remains the focus and, as chairman of the Golden Bay Vet Club Nigel Harwood says, “Health and safety of staff is important as we find solutions that work for everybody”.

LE T TERS

PROMOTION ASSN AGM Continued from page 1 “Thinking strategically, the question is how to get people to come here and spend some money and contribute to the local economy,” said Chris.

He proposed ideas such as creating circuits that require visitors to stay overnight in Collingwood. For example, tourists cycling the Heaphy could come to Collingwood, stay a night, then bike out to Farewell Spit the next day. Or if people cycled to Kaituna, Anatori and back, they would need to stay a night in Collingwood.

Pointing out that night sky tourism is also trending, Chris said, “We don’t actually market that, and the history, geology…there’s a whole lot of things we could do to leverage that.”

He also spoke about cultural events such as the Living Wood Fair that could be marketed further afield.

And he closed with a suggestion: “Why don’t we put a budget towards building a strategy – and be proactive?”

Vitamin D to defeat depression?

At my health seminar last Friday which was open to the public, one of the many topics I discussed was the critical role and need for Vitamin D. Vitamin D is considered a hormone by nutritionally-oriented healthcare practitioners due to its contribution to approximately 2,000 reactions involving the immune system, nervous system and bone health.

In my experience from blood testing nearly all of my Florida patients for Vitamin D, I discovered that the vast majority had levels below which we consider optimal. And it’s hard to have more sun than in Florida. Can you imagine winter levels in New Zealand?

I was asked by an individual at the end of the talk, “What about depression and Vitamin D?” as she was concerned about The GB Weekly article (GBW 18/6) on the toll of depression in dairy farmers. A quick search on Google Scholar revealed quite a number of peer-reviewed papers on the subject. So, I think it’s very important we consider supplementation with Vitamin D. Bruce R Dooley, MD

In response to the letter in The GB Weekly (18/6) about Pohara Valley stream, the filtration system beside the tennis courts has been upgraded and now has excess capacity, is four metres above sea level, and is definitely not leaking or overflowing into the stream as had sometimes previously been the case, which is why the upgrade project was brought forward. Residents could not have failed to see the extensive work this entailed.

Any current pollution problems with the stream will be due to other sources such as old septic tanks. Testing of the stream is not on a regular schedule (which does include Winter Creek further west), however, in response to the concern raised I understand the stream will be tested for bacterial contamination.

Celia Butler, TDC councillor

So much wrong with revised option A

I believe the “clarification” provided in last week’s “Council Matters” (GBW 25/6), is sadly nothing of the sort.

TDC retain the responsibility for repaying the LGFA and CIIL loans, including the interest payments due. The “guarantee” for this debt under default is a dam which has no saleable value and limited ability to sell the water at any meaningful value.

This leaves ratepayers still holding the bag for the full loan for 40 years in case of default. If irrigators default on payments, only the interest can be levied as a targeted rate. Under option D, Council could revert to a repayment loan and target rate the irrigators principal and interest at any point via a full Council decision and appropriate consultation. Under this option, the full amount of this annual charge can be levied against the irrigators’ property, which does have a realisable value. Under revised option A, TDC are hog-tied to receive only interest from irrigators for the full 40 years.

Irrigators commercial conditions for borrowing has zero bearing on TDC setting funding policy, why some councillors think it does is beyond me. Risks are inherent in interest-only

loans and it would take a lengthy article to debate. Japan isn’t doing well with its “inflate it away” gambit. There is so much wrong with revised option A and not much right, unless you are an irrigator. Then you are laughing!

Farmers’ upcoming forum

The meeting of farmers with David Bennett, the National Party’s spokesman on agriculture, has caught the attention of the media. So, this is Golden Bay’s chance to get much-needed publicity about the impositions and threats to our private land from local and national government. Northland maori have made sure their protests are heard. This is our chance, so come in droves to the Pakawau Hall by 11am on Friday 9 July, and speak up. Bring your lunch, tea will be provided.

Dangerous Words

They say some words are dangerous, this is a concept we are sold.

When put into a particular order they are unacceptably nefarious we’re told.

Are these words so very dangerous that we require protection from them?

Who shall decide which words are the bad ones, Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook fame?

I do not trust that rich and incredibly powerful American man, He wants me to need Facebook like bacon needs a frying pan.

What will be the punishment for using words determined dangerously bad?

Will we be safe once protected from words, will we be happy, will we be sad?

When times of unprecedented challenges face us, sharing ideas is vital, Prohibition of words for any reason, for freedom this is fatal.

Actor and director Martine Baanvinger, who wrote and starred in the award-winning play Solitude, returns in this creative and innovative one-woman play about Ans Westra, a NZ Arts Foundation Icon photographer.

In 1957, Ans Westra emigrated from the Netherlands to New Zealand and began to take photos of her new homeland.

Fascinated by Maori culture in particular, she created an intimate and uniquely historical documentation of Maori life which led to a successful career capturing the essence of the people of Aotearoa.

DramaLAB’s visually stunning and intimate portrait focuses on Westra’s childhood in The Netherlands, her immigration journey to New Zealand and the start of her photography career in the 1960’s. Her first publications, including the controversial Washday at the pa, offered insight into the Maori way of life in rural Aotearoa at a time of urbanisation.

A Golden Bay technical team has been working hard to get this complex performance ready in a tour pack to be able to be operated by one person, Rowena Dixon, who has been a DramaLAB technician and writer for the last five years.

“Rowena has turned herself into an expert of the complex software we are using to run the show,” says Martine.

Dani: “You can never own a stone” ROSA VOLZ

“Every rock is a good rock, though some are better than others,” says geologist, fossicker, carver and young entrepreneur, Dani Jamieson.

Dani recently opened the Mohua Mineral Museum on McCallums Road, which she explains is “an open studio o r s p a ce t h a t o f fe r s a n opportunity for the public to observe the art of carving, or better still, to try it themselves”.

Seven years ago, Dani’s life was changed forever after she discovered a 28-pound kawakawa nephrite boulder in a West Coast fire pit. Initially self-taught, Dani was fortunate to have guidance from and use the workshop of Steve Gwaliasi of the Bonz and Stonz carving studio in Hokitika. Fascinated by the science of both geology and carving, Dani undertook a Diploma in Carving at Tai Poutini Polytechnic, where she came top of her class with an excellence. It was here that she created one of her favourite pieces, Hine Nui Te Po or The Goddess of the Underworld. This was created from a piece of williamsite fossicked from the Takaka River in the Cobb Valley.

Sitting amongst her works, Dani explains the genetic make-up of pounamu (aka g r e e n s t o n e ) : “ Po u n a m u is made up of the minerals actinolite, tremolite, bowenite, serpentine and nephrite.”

She also debunks the myth that it is unlucky to purchase a piece of greenstone for yourself. “ The stone understands the concept of intention and connection. It is about trading time for money.”

Dani is testing the market with some new designs, one of which is a vulva carving inset with pearls, made from

a stone found at Paines Ford. Whilst appearing to be made of greenstone, Dani says, “it’s not considered to be, as it has high levels of hydrogrossular and williamsite.”

Starting up a new business solo has required courage and resourcefulness. To date, Dani has been self-funded, has had to secure premises, and “learn how to promote, manage media, accounting and navigate health and safety,” all in addition to being the resident teacher and carver.

Dani’s vision for the studio is to provide a multimedia art centre utilising mostly local

geology, with an emphasis on New Zealand stone.

“I would like to grow to [employ] permanent staff and students, and I would like to see more artists using the space and displaying their art.”

On sunny days Dani likes to fossick in the Takaka riverbed, where she says she’s developed “strong arms for carrying” her findings.

“You can never guess what lies inside a stone until you carve it.

“Stone is not compliant. You never own a stone; you are just a small part of its journey.”

ROSA VOLZ

Golden Bay’s Farming 2030 is a sustainable farming initiative driven by farmers Wayne and Tyler Langford and project manager Debbie Pearson.

Initiated in June 2018, the project aims to harness the vision and knowledge of the community, working with the skill and expertise of farm owners (on the aptly named Go Ahead Farm), to develop sustainable farming practices. It promotes a shared understanding of how farming and environmental practices can sit side-by-side for the benefit of all. The process is intended to foster a community that is better informed and unified.

Debbie explains that the goals of Farming 2030 are twofold.

The first, she says, involves “building a ‘community model’, whereby the community is involved in decision making, providing and learning diverse skills, and in the process learning about one another’s strengths and weaknesses, with the objective of breaking down barriers and building bridges”.

The second goal is about implementing, measuring and learning from different environmental practices on a working farm “to see what happens in real life”, with the objective of generating measurable economic and environmental benefits.

The Farming 2030 goals are delivered via a series of subprojects in seven key areas: soil, water, trees, waste, animal health, family health, and diversity. There have been a number of developments over the last eight months. With the help of external experts, the project has developed a permaculture plan for Go Ahead Farm management of water flows which includes positioning of plantings and wetlands. In addition, a soil integrity expert has conducted a two-day public workshop

on how to approach regenerative farming through holistic grazing, including sward selection, soil testing and balancing, and a cattle rotation plan. These two plans will drive the project’s activities over the next three years.

Things are starting to take shape at the pilot site. Underway, within controlled experimental conditions, environmental trials of mixed sward planting, mineral additions, and mob versus strip grazing techniques are being carried out. Debbie refers to “tickling the biology”, which she explains is the vital process of experimenting, measuring and adjusting the soil biology to best environmental and economic effect. “The big mindset change is that soil biology is as important to farmers as stock and pasture.”

In the past nine months Wayne has presented the Farming 2030 project at several summits and conferences, generating much interest in farming circles and beyond. In September this year Country Calendar are filming Wayne and Tyler, and they wish to include a section on Farming 2030.

Next up for the community is the Big Day Out on 11 July for which “volunteers are needed,” says Debbie. This promises to be a fun family day of riparian planting at Go Ahead Farm, including species selection for fodder and cattle self-medication on planting edges. “Volunteers should bring gloves, a spade if you have one, layers of clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty, a drink bottle,” says Debbie. “On-time arrival essential as we will move off to the actual planting site at 10.05am.”

Review: Lapsis

Screening Schedule - July 2021 Fri 2 4.30

7.30 Sat 3 2pm

ALISTAIR HUGHES

Don’t let the fact that Lapsis is labelled as a science fiction film put you off. This witty and offbeat tale explores that genre – not with mega-budget special effects, but as a speculative commentary on issues affecting the world today.

In this case, it is a reflection on what has become known as the “gig economy”: the prevalence of unstable contracting work becoming the only option available for many job seekers, due to the current scarcity of full-time employment.

And in Lapsis, the work being offered is “cabling”. The premise is vague but in this alternative present (rather than futuristic) society, “quantum” technology has replaced the computers we are all familiar with, forcing the world to upgrade to a system which no-one really seems to understand.

(So don’t expect a clear explanation, although those with 5G anxiety may be able to relate.)

This has given rise to a labour market where increasing numbers of people spend days laying cable through forests between “quantum stations”, plugging in and collecting pay as they complete assigned routes.

At first this seems like some absurdist theatre, but it is to the film’s credit that this outwardly ridiculous concept becomes completely credible as we follow the travails of our main character Ray (played by the amazingly named Dean Imperial).

A blue collar and somewhat technophobic New Yorker, he is forced into cabling to pay for his ill brother’s treatment at an exclusive clinic. Set up by a shady acquaintance for a cut of his earnings, Ray’s induction into the world of cabling makes it all seem utterly real, complete with instruction videos, downloadable apps and increasingly expensive equipment available to enthusiasts at vendors stalls.

In this close-knit community everyone adopts a cabling name, but Ray soon discovers he has been illegally supplied with the identity, and credits, of a retired cabler whose reputation appears to inspire a mixture of awe and resentment among everyone he meets.

Meeting Anna, (Madeline Wise), an experienced and brutally frank cabler, Ray is given a glimpse of the exploitation which underpins this industry. As his increasingly disillusioned coworkers begin to draw up plans against the huge corporations who control the quantum market, and their lives through technology, Ray discovers he might be in accidental possession of their best chance to succeed.

Lapsis is a rare beast, a modern low-budget science fiction film which entertains with premise rather than spectacle. But the pitfall of focusing upon ideas at the expense of people is beautifully avoided by the collection of utterly real characters we meet. This is definitely not a Hollywood film, with no-one looking anything like a former model or athlete. Poor Ray manages to be a fish out of water twice over, struggling both with a technology he instinctively distrusts, and days spent in an outdoor environment he’s had absolutely no experience of in his life. Naturally, much of the film’s humour derives from his hapless efforts to adapt to this competitive and uncompromising environment.

His brother Jamie (Babe Howard) is difficult to like at first, morosely struggling with a vague chronic fatigue syndrome.

But as his treatment appears to have some positive results, Jamie’s character begins to shine. Similarly, the initially challenging Anna wins us over with her quirks and wellguarded compassion.

Be warned, the film’s ending is deliberately unresolved, inviting the audience to draw their own conclusions. All the pieces are there, but how you to choose to put them together is up to you, and this kind of clever film making absolutely needs to be supported. The fact that the unexpected conclusion of Lapsis will leave you so desperately wanting more speaks volumes about this wonderful little cable-fable.

Students from Takaka Primary School took to canoes recently to explore the waters around Waitapu Wharf. Under the guidance of James Alker of the Wilderness Canoe Trust and learning support coordinator Melanie Mott, the group paddled around the estuary taking in the views and observing wildlife.

“We saw lots of birds including heron, kingfishers, shags,

paradise ducks, swans, oystercatchers and terns,” said one of the students. “It was really quiet canoeing in the estuary but the birds were singing loudly.”

They also saw evidence of human impact on the environment, including tyres, an abandoned vehicle, and plastic litter. “This made us really upset because this rubbish can kill sea animals and bird life and it looks disgusting.”

On yet another wet weekend, rugby defied the rain to put on a thrilling contest at the Rec Park Centre, where Takaka hosted Nelson in a Division Two fixture.

It was a match in which the initiative, and the score, seesawed for the full 80 minutes, but it ended in heartbreak for the home side.

Up against a Nelson squad who were noticeably bigger and bulkier, the young Takaka team used pace and creativity to counter their opponents’ weight advantage. At times, like a rapier, Takaka cut through the Blues’ battering-ram defence.

On other occasions Nelson’s forwards bludgeoned their way towards – and over – the try line.

From the start, the visitors were an occupying force in the Red’s territory. Up against the Blue onslaught, the home side managed to keep the invaders at bay for the first 15 minutes, but could do nothing to stop them driving a scrum over the line to register the first five points of the match.

Takaka counter-attacked, taking the game to the opposition, and were rewarded 15 minutes later with a penalty which reduced the deficit to two points. This was promptly followed by a try from Axel Norton-Jarlov which put the home side into an 8-5 lead.

In the final five minutes of the first half, the lead changed hands twice, with Nelson registering a try before Takaka replied with one of their own from Norton-Jarlov just two minutes later.

At the end of a frantic 40 minutes, the home side had carved out a narrow 13-10 lead.

The second half carried on in the same vein – a ding-dong battle and tit-for-tat scoring. But it was Takaka who added to their tally first with a try from Reuben Chubb, followed by Brad Goulsbro’s conversion which took the score to 20-10.

Now it was Nelson’s turn to chase the game, and within

10 minutes, they had caught and overtaken the home side following a brace of tries and a single conversion.

Not to be outdone, Takaka rallied to produce two more tries of their own. The first resulted from a spectacular chase down

by Chubb who pounced on the visitors’ defensive error. The second was touched down by Alan Palmer.

The home side had now established a 30-22 lead, and with around five minutes left to play, a palpable sense of relief rippled through the vocal home supporters. Surely it was game over? But it was still very much game on when Nelson grounded a try directly beneath the posts making the conversion a formality.

The result was now on a knife edge with Takaka clinging on to a slender 30-29 lead and just needing to hold out for a few more seconds. But, whether it was time itself that had slowed down, or simply that the referee’s watch had stopped, play continued for several minutes beyond the regulation 80.

And it was in this prolonged and agonising phase that Nelson clinched the match with a successful penalty kick that proved to be the final action of the game.

As the ball sailed high over the crossbar, taking the final score to 30-32, Takaka hearts sank. It was a cruel end to a hard-fought battle from which they deserved so much more.

Speaking immediately after the game, Takaka coach John Hills was characteristically magnanimous in defeat. “I’m disappointed but both teams played well,” said John, who was full of praise for his team. “They tried their hardest, but there were too many big guys.”

Reflecting on the season, John said he was “really pleased” with his players. “They give 110 per cent all the time.” And he is keen to develop Takaka’s young squad into a force to be reckoned with. “We’re building a team for the next few years.

Hopefully we can keep these guys together.”

POLICE REPORT

Seeking rural healthcare solutions

Kia ora whanau • Pictured above, outside Onetahua Marae, is Constable Ray Clapp who recently assisted at Onetahua Marae on a pilot programme “Young Mens Ropu” over the weekend. This saw a group of young men from Nelson building their capacity and understanding for keeping themselves safe and respecting their and other people’s boundaries, in particular with their connections with wahine/tangata. Ray was impressed with the course and saw the growth in the young men who attended.

• Police are investigating plants being poisoned at an address in Tata Beach. This has occurred on at least two occasions since December 2019.

• An 18-year-old male from the West Coast had his car impounded and is being investigated for failing to stop for police after an attempted traffic stop near Takaka township on 24 May. • 15 June: Police dealt with two individuals behaving in a disorderly manner in Long Plain Road during a domestic incident. One party was served a Police Safety Order requiring a period of separation to allow everyone to regain their composure.

• 15 June: A 23-year-old local female was issued a threemonth suspension from driving for excess demerit points.

• 17 June: A 25-year-old male from the lower South Island was arrested after walking the Heaphy Track with his dog. He broke into two huts and one motorvehicle, stealing food, money and clothing items. He was held in custody and sentenced in the Nelson District Court to 14 months imprisonment. Hopefully the dog was too tired to catch any of the Takahe or Kiwi in the park. He is now trespassed from the Kahurangi National Park and will be receiving a fine from DOC. • 25 June: Police advised of potential theft of gravel from a gold claim near Bainham.

• 26 June: $300 cash reported lost in Commercial Street.

JOYCE WYLLIE

Last week, researchers from the “Rural Smart Health” project spent two days in Golden Bay exploring how digital technology can improve access to health care. The collaborative project team, led by Dr Inga Hunter from Massey University Manawatu campus, includes research officer Caroline Lockhart, also from Massey University, and Samuel Wong from Vensa, a health software company which has partnered with Precision Driven Health.

Previously the team successfully worked on a proof-ofconcept system, designed to support people living alone, which they called “Home Smart Home”. The system used a multi-sensor the size of a golf ball which detected light, temperature, and motion, and was set up according to the older adult’s routine.

If activity was not detected for a certain time the technology would send a text message or email to a support person who could then contact the person. The system could also be set to change colour to remind the user of the correct times to take medication.

The current Rural Smart Health project involves participants over the age of 55 who live further than 30 minutes’ from the nearest health care centre. The study is looking at access to health care services including Telehealth which is seen as a model for health-care delivery for under-served populations.

Telehealth became a practical option during Covid lockdown when it was difficult for patient and care provider to be in the

same room.

The study was initiated in response to recognised changing rural populations. In days gone by older people tended to retire to town, but that now happens less frequently as many people retire to rural communities like Golden Bay. As a result, health systems need to adapt to serve an increasing number of older patients with chronic diseases and disabilities. Rural distances and journey times add further complexity with the result that older rural adults now account for 50 per cent of the total cost of providing health care in New Zealand.

Golden Bay was one of four regions across the country selected for a visit by the research team in phase one of the project. Two focus groups – one at Bainham and the other at Kaihoka – were set up in partnership with local Rural Women members. The diverse, positive, and lively discussions covered health care needs, perceived and actual barriers to access – including Telehealth, and explored potential solutions.

Availability, reliability, and capability of digital technology was frequently raised as an issue, with some people explaining that they had to stand on the lawn or go for a drive to get cellphone coverage.

Under the project plan, phase one will help understand the issues, and consider something which could be tested in a subsequent phase two. Consequently, researchers may return to the Bay to follow up their initial study with some “real-world” testing to evaluate a potential new concept or existing product.

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.

Takaka Memorial Library staff and invited guests farewelled children’s librarian, Doris Symmons at a special morning tea last Friday morning. Staff from Motueka and Richmond libraries, plus representatives from Tasman District Council were among those who attended.

Takaka Library manager, Carolyn Roberts, spoke of Doris’s energy and enthusiasm, and the significant contribution she made during her tenure, including her work with children of all ages.

“One book closes and another opens. Time for a new chapter in your life Doris,” said Carolyn.

Others shared their appreciation with humorous stories and expressions of gratitude for Doris. Doris responded saying she’d “had fun” and gave special thanks to husband Mik, for his support.

Doris first began working as a part-time assistant in 2003, when the Takaka Library was situated on Commercial Street.

Following the move to the new library in 2008, she became the children’s librarian and has worked full-time in that role for 13 years.

In her time Doris has initiated many new and creative ideas.

She established the Tiny Tots programme for under-two-yearolds, the children’s book club, lunchtime talks and regular book quiz events with the late Liz Batten.

“Sports kids always get trophies, so that’s why we developed the [Liz Batten] trophy for reading,” said Doris.

Doris also came up with the Breakfast Quiz idea together with previous branch manager, Tish Potter. “I wanted the quiz and Tish wanted breakfast,” explained Doris. “It’s a highlight for the schools, held in September every year. Now all the Tasman libraries do it at the same time.”

The Harry Potter Quiz was a highlight for Doris. Held in the evening, it catered for all ages and 19 teams enrolled, totalling

around 80 people. Library staff organised food and decorated the library, with help from high school students. The quiz questions were provided by Hastings Library which had already run a similar event.

“The wonderful thing about libraries is everyone helps and shares resources and knowledge,” said Doris.

Believing that “The library is the living room of the community,” Doris hosted regular group activities with home school groups, working closely with parents. “I always, always wanted to make the library available for everybody.”

Another example of her commitment to widen the library’s role was the setting up and running of a German language nest.

Held after school for children up to nine years of age, the aim was to share a love of reading and speaking German.

Connecting with all the Bay’s schools is something she says she will miss, along with the Summer Reading programme, and the recent “1000 Books Before School” challenge.

Changes over the years have seen libraries opened up to becoming more creative spaces through initiatives such as “Make a Space”.

“Libraries nationally went from just books to creative spaces for community, with artists coming in and making things,” said Doris.

Another major change has been the growth in digital information which the library has responded to by lending Chromebooks and offering support and guidance.

“Now Tasman District libraries have employed one person to help,” said Doris. “Libraries are incredibly evolving all the time.”

Driven by her desire to ensure that people who came through the library door would enjoy their experience, Doris said she also acted as a peacemaker. Putting that down to never stressing or losing patience, she said simply, “I love people… will miss everybody.”

Tākaka Hill Road night closures from 5 to 12 July Night road closures State Highway 60 Tākaka Hill Road will be closed for seven consecutive nights, from 9pm Monday 5 July to 5am Monday 12 July 2021.

This work is weather dependent.

Closing the road at night will allow our road crew to install a large new culvert (pipe) – to replace the original steel culvert – from Site 11 through the current single traffic lane.

This work is essential to ensuring stormwater moves efficiently through the sites, and will help minimise future delays and damage to the sites during heavy rainfall.

For safety reasons, and least disruption to traffic, this work will be done at night.

This is the first of a number of night closures that will need to happen over the coming months.

We will let you know well in advance the dates for future night closures so you can plan ahead.

More information If you need access over the hill for night work or essential commitments, please email takakahill@nzta.govt.nz or call Kane Reihana on 027 886 4508.

We will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Date and time Date: Monday 5 July to Monday 12 July 2021 Time: Road closed from 9pm to 5am each night Emergency services will be able to use the road at all times.
