Building a new community

Building houses and a community: future residents and organisers of the Takaka cohousing neighbourhood. Photo: Supplied. ALISTAIR HUGHES

A room full of enthusiastic potential homeowners gathered at Mohua Social Services on Monday for an update on Takaka’s cohousing development. Since the purchase of 14.5ha of land on the corner of Rototai Rd and Meihana St in January last year, neither a global pandemic nor planning bureaucracy appear to have slowed this initiative down. Tak ak a Cohousing Neighbourhood representatives Simone Kidner and Sarrah Jayne brought the gathering up to speed. With 20 homes in the cohousing development already reserved, the purpose of this meeting was to invite local interest in the remaining 14 houses. Sarrah opened the meeting by taking everyone through the principles of living in a cohousing community, with shared resources, a strong ethos of sustainable living and collaborative decision-making. This encouraged questions on a wide variety of subjects, including pet ownership, washing lines and general expectations of residents. A body corporate fee of around $2500 per year would be required for the general upkeep and maintenance of common areas. These include a common house with a shared dining hall, a community lounge, laundry and even

a library. There will also be an outdoor event space, community gardens and orchards. The house plans were then presented and discussed in more detail. Only double-storey homes remain available, with seven two-bedroom and seven threebedroom options to choose from. All the houses are semi-detached, with neighbouring homes mirroring the same layout. Though final costs should be confirmed in September, the two-bedroom homes are estimated to be between $525-575,000, and the threebedroom options between $625-675,000. Payment of a deposit of 10-20 per cent in September will enable new residents to secure their home. As the Takaka Cohousing development is a not-for-profit project, the confirmed sale prices will reflect the actual costs of building, including the common house and land. Having designed the homes, architect Simone fielded more technical questions; including one about the use of an interior facing product called magnesium board. This prompted an audience member to jokingly suggest that it must also be good for joint pain. Passive solar principles and sustainable insulation material have been incorporated into the plans, and each dwelling will have its own freehold Unit Title. Local interest was certainly apparent,

Council Matters SUBMITTED BY CELIA BUTLER

At its meeting on 4 June, Tasman District Council voted 12:2 in favour of commissioning an independent investigation on the Waimea Dam. Its purpose is to review and comment on the quality of advice and background information provided to council leading up to the decision of 30 November 2018 to go ahead with the dam. I have always supported an inquiry in some form, otherwise there will be a legacy of too many questions remaining. There has been a lot of concern in the community and among some councillors as to what information the decision was based on – when the cost of the dam was predicted in some quarters from the start to be a lot more than the $95m, if not double that. The question arises: how independent can this inquiry be, given that it will be organised and paid for by the council? Some in the community are concerned about this. Inquiries cannot be plucked off the shelf, however. An inquiry by the Auditor General was requested and was turned down. The only other option is a ministerially ordered inquiry or a“sponsored”inquiry, the relevant type being a “public inquiry”; however, the Minister would only intervene with that when the council has exhausted its own options. So this leaves the council needing to ensure on behalf of the community that this inquiry is as independent as possible. The Terms of Reference will need to be approved by council, and developed under the supervision of the Audit and Risk committee, which has an independent member who will lead this. The community can be confident that this is standard best practice. It also provides flexibility to be as wideranging as necessary, though that range needs to be balanced against cost. In contrast, a government-sponsored inquiry would have very specific, and possibly a narrower, Terms of Reference. To avoid bias, or the perception of bias, no staff or councillors will be involved in the investigation and analysis. They will, however, provide information, as will previously elected officials. Because the review will cover and assess the overall quality of the advice and background information, input from community stakeholders who were involved should be able to provide...

NEWS IN BRIEF Celebrating Matariki

Think ahead with NMIT Anga whakamua

SUBMITTED

Appearing as part of the Golden Bay Matariki Light Festival this Friday and Saturday, Strange fruits, new roots is a light installation created by Kath Craw, Sarah Thomas and Margy Meys reflecting on the unusual year gone by. During the pandemic lockdowns inequality, injustice and climate crisis were brought into sharp focus globally. “We’ve all become more aware that we can’t keep living the way we have. It’s time to reimagine the future,” says Kath. The artists invite the public to enter the weird and wonderful realm of the installation and add their vision of this future by moulding a “new you in a better world” from clay provided. For the full programme and locations for the Matariki celebrations and events see the advertisement on page 7 of this issue.

COUNCIL MATTERS Continued from page 1 ...input about technical information, and I support this. The review overall will concentrate on what technical and factual information was provided and how it was provided for the council to make its decision. The inquiry won’t look at speculation, or whether or not a dam is a good thing per se. Nor will it include an assessment of information and events subsequent to the 30 November decision, the reason being that there must be limits and the 30 November decision was key to going ahead. The final report will be made to council directly by the independent investigator, and I expect that it will be made public.

Choppers entertain Saturday shoppers FUEL SAVINGS Hello Golden Bay, With fuel savings on the lips of every car buyer, I thought I would list a few of the 24 “Hybrid” vehicles that we currently have on our yard. These cars are all imported by Toyota New Zealand and have been hand-picked from Japan. A great many of these cars come with a warranty so make sure you ask about this when you get in touch. If you are looking at purchasing a new hybrid vehicle, now is the time to do this as there is about a 6-month wait on most new vehicles. Have a great week and we will see you in the Bay. Cheers.

The first dry Saturday in several weeks saw the longpostponed Golden Bay Axemen’s Club Queen’s Birthday Challenge take place outside Takaka’s Telegraph Hotel. Under the gaze of market-goers, a reduced, but high quality field, chopped its way through a sizeable pile of chunky logs. Male competitors included local axeman Dave Gowland, New Zealand Veteran Willie Able and his son Tim, former Challenge winners Ray Biggs, Brian Godsiff and Dave McEwen, plus West Coast chopper Mike Simpson. The women were represented by South Island champion Ashleigh Radford of the Nelson Axemen’s Club, and the ever-consistent Courtney Clarke. Picton-based Willie, who has been competing in woodchopping events for around 30 years, was using Saturday’s Challenge as a warm-up for an international event. “I’ve got some chopping competition coming up in September,”

said Wille. “It’s an A&P show in Adelaide – New Zealand Veterans versus Aussie Veterans.” Following a few warm-up chops, there were no second chances for the axemen in the knock-out format. The blades flashed in the bright winter sun and the woodchips flew across the car park as the choppers laid into the wooden blocks. At the end of the morning, the champions emerged, with Dave Gowland taking out the standing category and Mike Simpson winning the underhand chop. Willie enjoyed a pretty good warm-up, finishing second in the underhand after eliminating Dave Gowland in the first round. “The underhand wood was very hard and Mike and Willie were the two highest ranked underhand cutters there,” said Dave. “The tough wood seems to sort the men from the boys.” In the women’s best-of-three series, Ashleigh won the first race easily prompting the handicaps to be adjusted, before the woodchopping gods took over. In the second race one of the South Island Champion’s blocks fell out which gifted her opponent an unassailable lead. In the decider, Courtney drew a block that was probably the fastest wood of the day and she cut it superbly to take the race and win the series.

Climate and biodiversity co-crises

Rod Oram’s presentation to a very full house in Takaka last week, threw down the gauntlet to every one of us to push for rapid progress from our elected representatives on climate change, and “keep their feet to the fire”. Further, he presented civil disobedience as a moral duty to achieve this. Oram is no radical. Rather, he is a well-respected, mainstream business journalist and commentator with depth of international experience and overview few can match. Groups such as Extinction Rebellion reached this thinking some time ago; is it now the middle ground? That agricultural emissions are the “low hanging fruit” in addressing New Zealand’s carbon commitments, won’t sit well in rural quarters already buffeted by legislative change. But change we must. Those who dismiss such concerns, or push for delay, would do well to read on Oram’s example of Nestle. As the world’s largest food company, and Fonterra’s biggest customer, they seek a 50 per cent cut in emissions throughout the whole value chain by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2050. They are already in discussion on Fonterra’s share of that commitment. Oram also raised the issue of biodiversity loss. Inextricably linked with climate change, it is mainstream thinking in the global arena and must be addressed at the same time. Crisis? Sounds like it to me. From a young age I was taught to view “crisis” by its Chinese definition – “a dangerous opportunity”. Alec Milne

Weka: wonderful or wicked?

Twice recently, and in different locations, we have seen the startling sight of weka stalking and killing blackbirds. While you have to admire their guile and stealth it makes you ponder just what the weka’s role in our native ecosystem is, and what exactly are they eating? DOC websites describe weka as omnivores whose diet is 70 per cent plant based and 30 per cent animal based. Having seen the blackbirds demise, I’m wondering if it might be the other way round. Weka seem to go through boom bust population cycles. Serious decline in Golden Bay in the 1990s and early 2000s and nowadays increasingly widespread throughout both Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks from the coast to the tussock. Their recent revival is simultaneously pleasing and concerning. It is pleasing because it has been a pleasure to be able to regularly observe an iconic endemic species again, as well as other endangered birds such as the falcon, kea, pateke and whio. It is concerning because weka will eat anything moving smaller than a football and within two feet of the ground. Chicks, eggs, powelliphanta, gecko, weta, frogs, and more are all fair game. How, in this instance do DOC and Project Janszoon do their excellent work of protecting native fauna, when an iconic endemic bird is the culprit? Maybe it is time for an extensive survey on Western Weka numbers and exactly what they are dining on. Simon Faulkner

Tasman District Council’s latest issue of Newsline (number 499) opens with headline “Revised funding option confirmed for dam costs“. It continues stating that revised option A provides for a more favourable impact on the general ratepayer than option A on which the public was consulted. Yes, option A was presented to us, as were options B, C and D, in the draft 10-Year Plan. However, we the public were never given the opportunity to have our say on revised option A. Had we been given that opportunity, would we have voted for it in greater numbers than we did for option D? We will never know. Newsline totally ignores the fact that option D ever existed, or that it was the most popular of the four choices. It also fails to mention that we were never given the revised option A as a choice.

D for vitamin deficiency

Thank you, Dr Dooley. According to the New Zealand Government’s official website, around five per cent of adults in New Zealand are deficient in vitamin D (Adult Nutrition Survey 2008/09). A further 27 per cent are below the recommended blood level of vitamin D. Simple maths says that over one third of New Zealanders are actually vitamin D deficient. There are also a number of NZ universities funded for researching the effects of this large imbalance and reasons for it. [Abridged] Sarah Hornibrooke

Getting over the Hill – safely

Whilst journeying over the Takaka Hill on Sunday, it was gratifying to see that most drivers were taking into account the icy conditions, ie, proceeding slowly. Nonetheless, twice, our heavy 4WD got taken by the slippery road to somewhere it wasn’t asked to go, thus putting us and other road users in danger. Much black ice and frosty edges were evident, but almost no grit laid to help keep motorists safer, particularly on the many shaded parts. Small pockets of grit in just a few areas had already moved over to the centre of the road, so weren’t much use. It seems a shame that our amazingly generous fire service and ambulance teams might also be faced with these treacherous conditions should they be called on to deal with an emergency on the Takaka Hill. I hope something can be done soon to ensure that the Hill is kept as safe as possible throughout the chilly winter months. NB: I understand that conditions on the next day were much safer, with grit laid down, but obviously there are days when this is not so. Maureen Scotland

GOLDEN BAY

Premix

Servicing the Bay from the Bay

Well-k nown journalist Rod Oram visited Takaka last week and spoke of the urgent need to address the co-crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. There was standing room only at Golden Bay Community Centre as Rod began his presentation with a stark warning: “We have one decade left to solve the climate crisis – and the cocrisis of biodiversity loss... We need to get on the right trajectory.” The timetable, he said, was even tighter for New Zealand. “It’s now or never… The next six months are the most crucial.” Rod built a picture of the scale and severity of the looming crises using extracts from several highlevel reports, including the Stockholm Resilience Centre’s work on planetary boundaries; Jonathan Porritt’s Hope in Hell; The Dasgupta Review on economics and biodiversity, and the publication Biodiversit y and Climate Change, co-authored by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Referring to data published in these reports, Rod pointed out that the largest overshoot of planetar y boundaries was due to excessive “ biogeochemical flows”, specifically of nitrogen and phosphorous, “from the way we grow food.” Regarding greenhouse gases (GHGs), he said global emissions are on track to produce non-linear, irreversible change. “We have built a lot of pressure into the climate system, which is leading to potential tipping points.” While the t win crises are global, solutions tend t o b e e n a c t e d t h ro u g h national policies. Focusing the discussion on New Ze a l a n d, R o d d i s c u s s e d the Government ’s target of net zero emissions by 2050, highlighting the importance of the Climate Change Commission’s recent recommendations on carbon

budgets, pathways, and polices. “We must be incredibly focused and ambitious.” The target, he said, could be achieved using existing technologies, but it was imperative that methane emissions were incorporated, and not just from a climate perspective. “Reducing methane emissions is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against biodiversity loss.” As more global focus is placed on methane emissions, Rod believes the Government will be forced to alter its approach. “It will be more difficult for New Zealand to split methane and other gases in international negotiations,” said Rod, adding that methane produced by farm animals is a major issue. And it’s not just the policy-makers who will need to adapt. Businesses will also need to change their practices. Presenting GHG emissions data compiled by Nestle – the world’s largest food company – Rod stressed the significant contribution of primary producers. “Around 70 per cent of their [Nestle’s] greenhouse gas emissions come from suppliers, including dairy,” he said, pointing out the implications for New Zealand’s biggest exporter. “Fonterra still refuses to set a goal on reduction of methane, but they will have to do it.” Although the developing crises present huge challenges for Aotearoa, Rod also sees a significant opportunity. “It’s fantastic for New Zealand. We have the largest stock of natural capital per capita in the world, excluding fossil fuels.” But that opportunity needs to be grasped quickly and firmly. “2021 is our big decision year,” said Rod, before outlining the tight policy timetable. “In October, parliament will vote on carbon budgets.” At the same time, the Government will also decide whether to increase its commitment to global climate targets, while December marks the deadline for the publication of its emissions reduction plan. “So, the next six months is crucial,” said Rod. “We must give politicians the confidence to be bold.”

Looking at New Zealand’s GHG output in more detail, Rod differentiated between industrial emissions – mainly carbon dioxide – and those from agriculture, which are predominantly methane and nitrous oxide. He highlighted the lower financial burden of tackling the latter. “The capital cost of transforming farming systems is actually low.” As to how the country navigates its route to zero emissions, Rod said that a comprehensive policy toolbox, which encompassed sinks as well as sources, was required. “We need a combination of behavioural change and technological change. If not, then we need to increase [carbon] sinks, such as forests.” He finished his presentation with a lyric penned by Johnny Rotten: “You’ll have no future… if you don’t make one for yourself.” But, given the urgency of his message, he might have equally added a line from Elvis Presley’s classic hit, It’s Now or Never: “Tomorrow will be too late.” During the subsequent question-andanswer session, farming practices emerged as the most common topic. In his responses, Rod acknowledged that farming technology could achieve zero emissions and contribute to biodiversity, but practices need to evolve. “How you use that land and what you grow on it will change.” The final question was arguably the most immediately relevant. “What action can I do to influence the Government in the next six months?” asked a member of the audience. Rod’s first suggestion – to reduce personal environmental footprints – was followed by a long list. “Spread the ripples… share knowledge and have community action,” said Rod. “Get messages to the Beehive, so sign petitions, send letters… Reach out to the people who aren’t locked into this, such as National Party members…” Local Green Party member Dave Tinkler formally closed the meeting by thanking Rod for making the effort to come and speak in Golden Bay.

RONNIE SHORT

Last Friday, the Collingwood Area School whanau collaborated in a day of celebration of Matariki, the Maori New Year. Students, staff, parent helpers, invited guests and Manawhenua ki Mohua representatives were present at 8.45am for a karakia and waiata, which were followed with a mihi whakatau by Lloyd McPherson. Students then broke into groups of 12 to participate in a range of activities. Manawhenua and teachers were kept busy throughout the day with classes in all aspects of tikanga Maori. Robin Slow worked with students in the art room with Kevin Heywood, supervising the painting of cut-out profiles of the siblings of Matariki and Rehua. “Rehua was first-born of the children of Papatuanuku and Ranginui,” explained Robin. “They represent different attributes of regulating the world. One of the children (of Matariki and Rehua) regulates fresh water, another the sea and food, animals and so on...Both Matariki and Rehua were of peace and understanding.” Simon Walls guided students through the process of making koauau – firstly ensuring the interior holes bored were

smoothed with a drill press before being sanded by hand. Then the exteriors were sanded until smooth, with the students trying to play the koauau during the whole process. They were then allowed to carve a design. “That’s as important – it has its own life force,” said Simon. “The traditional way of carving is to have a little face at each end, so there are three faces involved – yours and the two carved. If all is going well you will get a sound out of the third mouth.” The students were told about Brian Flintoff and Richard Nunns, the forerunners in the recreation of traditional wind instruments made of wood, bone, pounamu, thus honouring the work of those who had gone before. Royce Rhodes mastered a consistently reliable sound from his koauau and was in the process of carving his first design/ face. “It’s been fun, interesting and I have learned a lot,” he said. Another group of children, overseen by Lloyd, prepared kai

for the hakere at 1.30pm. Food to accompany the lamb spit and feast for all involved would conclude the Matariki celebrations. Deputy principal Alison Menary explained that, aside from the above groups, the rest of the groups circulated around three activities. They learned rakau iti (stick games) with Charlotte Muir, wove harakeke fish and kete with Tui Kemp and Donna Zeller and created putiputi (flowers) with Kathy Hindmarsh. There were string games with Kim Powell, wind toy construction with Sam Gaddes, poi making with Elizabeth McPherson, Lynda Earl and Laurelee Duff. Jonny Hanlon led a group on traditional Maori navigation. Braden Faavae ran a kapa haka group and Lyndon Clark worked with students coding Matariki games on computers. Students were absorbed in each activity, and all agreed the day was one of fun. Year 12 helper Nicole Custers said, “It’s been a very good day to learn and have everyone do rotations.”

Collingwood’s MAD Theartre owner NgAngA said he had “prebooked the sunny weather” to ensure the success of last Sunday’s Truth Be Known rally. “The date was no accident,” said NgAngA. The theme of the rally is “independence, and a new day for a new way for a ‘New Zeal’,” – tying in with US Independence Day on 4 July. “The purpose of the rally is for everybody to have their say – and we can all agree to disagree.” There were two central themes to the rally, celebrating life and speaking out against contemporary challenges to human rights and freedoms. There was a call for informed choices and broad public discussion surrounding Covid-19, and proposed hate-speech legislation. An enthusiastic crowd heard three speeches by NgAngA and guest speakers lawyer Sue Grey and musician Joe Rifici. NgAngA spoke first of the rally’s purpose of “sending loving, positive energy flowing from New Zealand to New York to California and beyond. This will send a supply of ‘New Zeal’ all around the world – boosted 1000-fold by our inter-divinity.” Sue Grey followed up by challenging the media, pharmaceutical industry and NZ Government to foster open discussion and informed consent regarding Covid-19 and the benefits of vaccination. Sue put forward that the “definition of

hate speech is being ‘told’ [by the NZ Government], not agreed [to, by the people of NZ] and that it is difficult to communicate ideas if there are restrictions. “Our elected representatives need to act on our behalf; we urgently need a plan to immediately stop the infringement of our rights…and we need to find points on which we [all] agree. “The challenge for all of us is to share information in a kind and loving way – connecting and finding a way to talk about our differences – it’s not black and white.” Up next was a performance of The Prophet, written and sung by Francis Maxino, and based on the idea that “love can change the world”. The crowd, urged on by NgAngA, then sent “a combined breath of our love towards Wellington. We [would] love our Government to look after us.” The final speaker, Joe Rifici, spoke of acting immediately and in a practical way to challenge the Government narrative on both Covid-19 and hate speech. “We each need to be a model to inspire others to stand up and stop this...Let this day symbolically be the day to regain our freedoms that have been taken from us – [let us] take back our speech.” The rally reached “full flavour” at about 1.30pm, when the gathered crowd, bearing placards, marched a joyful and peaceful circuit of the Collingwood township.

Maidens clip Mot Angels’ wings JO RICHARDS

Saturday’s match between Golden Bay’s Shield Maidens and the Motueka AFC Angels offered a shot at redemption for the home side. Earlier in the season, the Angels had shown little mercy in their 3-0 win over the Maidens. But that was then, and this was now. Under the tutelage of coach Phil Smith, the Maidens have improved in all areas of the pitch and confidence is high. The home side, sporting new matchday, shirts ran out onto the turf at Golden Bay High School to cheers from their supporters who remained vocal throughout the 90 minutes. For the first 15 of those minutes, the Maidens appeared to lack composure in the face of the more physically imposing and experienced Angels. But the home side gradually settled down and struck the opening blow when Abbie McConnon knocked the ball into the back of the Motueka net. The tie settled down into pattern of attack and counter-attack with both sides creating scoring opportunities but it was the Angels who conver ted nex t to level the match. Refusing to be downhearted, the Maidens roared back and came within a whisker of restoring their advantage when Tiana Olney’s

sweetly struck shot cannoned of the crossbar, just before half time. During the break, Phil delivered a simple message to his players. “We need composure. Shut them down fast. Look up and pass. Communicate.” Back into the fray, the home side had clearly heeded their coach’s words and, within five minutes of the restart, inspirational skipper Ellie Hopkins struck a shot that gave the Nelson keeper no chance. With their lead restored, the Maidens continued on the offensive and their attacks yielded several corner kicks. The visitors, who were clearly feeling the pressure, almost conceded a third goal when their keeper fumbled a long-range shot and was left scrambling to keep the ball out of her net. A few minutes later striker Jess Currin-Steer pounced on a loose ball in the Angels’ six-yard

box, but somehow the keeper manged to claw the ball away. With each opportunity that passed for the home side, the likelihood of the visitors getting something from the match increased, and this eventually transpired 15 minutes from time when the Angels banged in an equaliser. Despite creating further scoring chances, the Maidens were denied another goal and the score stayed at 2-2 until the final whistle. A good result for the Maidens, and partial redemption for the home side, but it was a better result for the visitors. Speaking to his squad immediately after the match Phil was full of praise for the performance, but disappointed by the score. “It was ours for the taking… You can all walk away thinking we won.”

Chris Potter with his book My Beautiful Island. Photo: Submitted. SUBMITTED

Nelson-based Chris Potter started life in a prison camp in Hong Kong with his English mother, Norah. There as a toddler he learned to salute and bow, to stamp on cockroaches in bare feet to entertain fellow prisoners, and to do as he was told. It was Stanley Civilian Internment Camp and Chris arrived there in February 1942 aged five months, after losing his English father on Christmas Day 1941 while he was helping to defend Hong Kong from the Japanese. Only hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour, they invaded Hong Kong. They had been at war with China since 1937. The tiny multinational army and civilians of Hong Kong didn’t stand a chance against the seasoned warriors. Life changed dramatically for those who survived. Norah had enjoyed an active social life in Hong Kong before marrying John Potter in 1939. They spent three years in the prison camp before being liberated late in 1945 and repatriated to England. Norah never blamed the Japanese or the German people, knowing they were all victims of a war mentality. Chris discovered his mother’s diaries and records just after she died. She’d recorded her memories on wrappers of cigarette packets and labels off cans, from Americans in the camp. The book My Beautiful Island tells the story of Norah’s journey from England to Hong Kong as a young, single professional woman; to romance and marriage; to war and survival; then building a new life in the years that followed. Chris will be talking about My Beautiful Island at Takaka Library on Wednesday 14 July from 2-3pm.

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.
