Book review

ALISTAIR HUGHES

The Village Theatre AGM on Tuesday 15 June was a happy gathering of friends and supporters, despite evidence that the global pandemic has affected revenue.

Although treasurer Phil Gaffney only had a relatively small loss to report, it is symptomatic of the worldwide challenges cinemas and film-makers have faced in this last year.

However, one of the quirks of Golden Bay’s own movie theatre is that the shortage of new Hollywood blockbusters appears to have less effect here than elsewhere. Our local audiences generally have an appetite for more eclectic and independently made fare.

On a positive note, Village Theatre attendance figures over the past couple of months have been higher than expected, and international film output is gradually picking up once again.

Deputy chair Peter Barker called what was to be a brisk meeting to order. New business included the appointment of three new committee members. Bringing vast experience in performing arts is Milo Haigh, joined by Ainslie Wilson, who is back in the Bay after working overseas for several years, and GB Weekly writer Al Hughes.

A directive of last year’s meeting was to increase membership, and although there have been advances in this area, the “recruitment drive” will continue. Anyone keen to support our local cinema, and enjoy benefits including discounted ticket prices, can sign up for membership on the theatre’s website.

Another goal set last year was to encourage more live events at the Village Theatre. This has been addressed by Sage Forest with her successful debate last month, and an upcoming storytelling night in July.

A significant staff development has been the appointments of Benji Wick and Adrian Goddard as head projectionists.

On the technical side, the theatre now has an upgraded fibre system installed, but faces the impending need for replacement of its projection equipment. This will involve a considerable investment, and every option is being examined, including grant applications and the possibility of a lease arrangement.

An exciting new development is the commencement of a Classic Film Night.

Instigated by Peter Barker, this will give audiences the opportunity to see celluloid greats like The Man from Laramie and...

Vaccinations for the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand The COVID-19 vaccination rollout for the general population starts from the end of July.

Our COVID-19 vaccination programme has built momentum steadily since February. We are vaccinating around 100,000 people a week at the moment. In the second half of the year we hit top speed and everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and over will be able to be vaccinated.

Moving to the general population So far, vaccinations have been made available to those most at risk of getting COVID-19 to limit the chances of it getting into the wider population.

With more vaccine supply coming on, and having ramped up our infrastructure, vaccinations for everyone else in New Zealand aged 16 and over (the general population) start from 28 July.

This is a very large group of people. To make this flow smoothly, we will break this down by age bands.

All people aged 60 plus can book their vaccinations from 28 July.

Then, two weeks later, people who are 55 plus. From there, new age bands will be opened up every 2–3 weeks based on confirmed deliveries of the vaccine and the speed of rollout to earlier groups.

By mid to late August, invitations should be open for people over 45. By mid to late September, invitations should be open for those over 35, with everyone else being eligible from October.

Invitations Most people will get a direct invitation to book – either by email, text, phone call or in the post. You will then be able to book through Book My Vaccine, a new national booking system that will be online from 28 July, or phone a new national call centre. Availability of booking slots (the date, time and place you can be vaccinated) will vary between district health board (DHB) regions.

Once you are eligible to be vaccinated, you can be vaccinated at any time. There is no cut off.

Registration

Getting a vaccination Step 1

Receiving an invitation We’ll call or send you an email, text or letter to invite you to book.

Step 2

Make your booking From 28 July, go to Book My Vaccine or call the new national call centre to book both doses, or to register if your age band isn’t open yet.

Step 3

Get your vaccination Have your first vaccination dose.

3–6 weeks later have your second vaccination dose.

If you don’t hear from us, or are concerned, you can register for your vaccination through the new national Book My Vaccine booking system at any time from 28 July.

Other ways to get vaccinated As we go through the year there will be other ways for people to be vaccinated. These will include workplace vaccinations and other targeted vaccination events across the country. For some remote rural communities we will vaccinate all age groups at the same time to make it easier for them. Our successful whānaucentred approach to vaccinations will continue for Māori and Pacific communities and those with disabilities.

Even if your age band isn’t open, everyone aged 16 and over will be able to go to Book My Vaccine to register for an invitation from 28 July. Registration means we will be certain to have your correct contact details and when your age group is opened, you will get an invitation telling you it’s your turn to book.

Cohousing scheme builds momentum

VILLAGE THEATRE AGM

ALISTAIR HUGHES

Takaka’s community is about to expand. Thirty-four new homes will appear on the edge of town in 2024.

Since the 2020 purchase of the 14.5 hectare block of land adjacent to Meihana Street, the people behind Takaka’s first collective housing development have shown no signs of losing momentum in realising their unique project.

Designed with co-housing principles in mind, the community will share resources and decision-making, while addressing environmental concerns in the home building processes and residential lifestyles.

Architect Simone Kidner, a director of the Takaka Cohousing Neighbourhood, is very pleased to have reached a major milestone in the process – the submission for consent to Tasman District Council.

“We’ve had four pre-application meetings,” she explains, “to make sure that we were on the right track. The flood modelling was signed off at one meeting, and we also spoke to them about road traffic. So we feel pretty positive after having the conversations which needed to be had first.”

Although the development is in many ways unique, Simone found that the council appeared to be on board with their proposal.

“It’s residential land, designed for housing, so not wildly different to the requirements of any subdivision. The unit title models are the same as would be used for a retirement home or a flats/apartments situation.”

Simone acknowledges the cohousing model does present some differences, including keeping roading and car parking outside the immediate neighbourhood space.

“We’re encouraging people to cycle or walk because we’re close to town. It’s better on the land and better on the council in terms of less roading maintenance.”

She has also found that the Golden Bay community has

been very supportive.

“People are keen to see more housing, and sustainability.

We’re being as open and transparent as possible, so hopefully they feel protected and that they’re coming along the journey with us.”

An example of this is the Takaka Cohousing Neighbourhood’s decision to set the housing 30 metres back from the road. “This is so that we can plant a lot of trees and have a low impact on the outlook of the Meihana Street residents. We’re trying to support and work with everyone else during this process.”

There are currently 20 households ready to move into their new homes there in three years time.

“At the moment eight of the houses are reserved for people who already live in Golden Bay,” says Simone, “and another 12 are for people who are either outside the Bay or are recent international arrivals with permanent residency.”

With an aim of ensuring that the next 14 houses will go to local families, a showcasing event (tentatively called “going live”) is about to be launched.

“We’ll be putting everything on our website (www. takakacohousing.co.nz) on 2 July, where people will be able to find information. And then we’ll hold an event on 5 July at Mohua Social Services to have face-to-face conversations with people before they apply.”

Applicants will be invited to a community gathering with many of the collective, and if that goes well, they will have the option of selecting a home and putting down a deposit.

Simone hopes to find potential residents who share the cohousing values and are drawn to the idea of living in a collective environment.

“I would say that we want to make sure that there’s a healthy balance between private spaces like homes and gardens, but with the benefits of an extra layer of community.”

Continued from page 1 ...Some Like it Hot on Takaka’s big screen.

Covid may still be taking its toll on the entertainment industry, but the Village Theatre will continue to strive to offer our community the best in quality cinema from around the world. And in that vein, the AGM ended with a screening of the delightful Irish-set comedy from 1998, Waking Ned Devine.

Doctor, doctor

I’m sure I’m not the only person who had my Wednesday Collingwood doctor’s appointment cancelled on Tuesday last week. On phoning to rebook, the earliest appointment I could get with my doctor was 19 August, more than two months away, and at the Takaka centre. I was told there is a doctor shortage so no clinics can be held in Collingwood, but it’s winter and people will have long journeys to town in bad weather. It’s not what we were promised; why is this continually happening?

Jennie Morris Response from General Manager, Golden Bay Community Health Linzi Birmingham Unfortunately, one of our GPs is currently on extended sick leave for a period of two months, at a time when we already have a GP on leave. However, this has not left us with a doctor shortage as we have arranged locum cover for this period and we still have plenty of GP appointments, including book-onthe-day appointments, and of course, our Urgent Care Service for any urgent medical needs.

The Collingwood clinics for blood, run by one of our medical assistants, will continue on a Tuesday as per usual. We thank the community for their understanding and assure you that we will re-establish the Collingwood clinics as soon as possible. This does not affect the current flu clinics running at Collingwood.

GP appointments are available, so please contact our reception if you require an appointment, while for any urgent medical issues/emergencies please present to our Urgent Care Service.

We also offer virtual appointments for our patients if suitable, and we can arrange this when you book your appointment.

Please just let the reception team know that you would like a virtual appointment.

Collingwood’s Courthouse

How interesting to read about the new owners of the Courthouse Cafe and the life they are creating in Collingwood (GBW 18/6). I’m sure the community and visitors will play their parts in supporting Sue and Jon. Assuming that the “bach behind the cafe” is number 2 Gibbs Road, it appears that, for the first time since 1930, the two properties now have the same owner.

Before 19 March 1930 the Justice Department had owned both properties, with the small cottage being the residence for the Clerk of the Court and Mining Registrar. The dwelling itself had been moved from the other side of the road to its present location in 1907. Though the cottage was sold into private hands in 1930, the Courthouse property was retained by the Department until the 1950s. So, the two properties have had separate stories for nearly 100 years.

This small snippet of local history is taken from a file at Archives New Zealand in Wellington and Collingwood’s Golden Bay Argus newspaper (now online). Hooray for records of our evolving history.

Plastics in the environment

Evidence from recent scientific research shows increasing quantities of plastics pollution in our environment on land, and in our air, water and food. I am quite alarmed by study which investigated mass concentrations of selected plastics in store-

bought rice, the staple of more than half the world’s population.

The research team, led by Jake W O’Brien at Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences, University of Queensland, found that “Polyethylene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate were quantifiable in the rice samples with polyethylene the most frequently detected (95 per cent)”. They also found that “A preliminary estimate of the intake of plastic through rice consumption for Australians established 3.7mg per serve (100g) if not washed and 2.8mg if washed. Annual consumption was estimated around 1g/person”.

Further raising my concern is a study from Taiwan which shows that “Exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), an endocrine-disrupting chemical and plasticizer widely used in consumer products, has been reported to be significantly positively correlated with increased risks of various cancers”.

It’s bad enough already that people litter plastic and don’t or can’t recycle used plastic products and wrappings, and that huge quantities of bale wrap are used every year. On top of this, there is potential future marine pollution in Golden Bay from marine farming equipment such as ropes, mussocks and lines.

It’s no wonder that many young people despair at their and humanity’s future.

Nigel Ritson

A real need for artificial reefs?

Referring to Clive Barker’s recent letter (GBW 11/6), I think there are already enough structures out in the Bay – including mussel farms and Separation Point coral – as well as the 10-metre line along the Spit that takes two-thirds of our trawling grounds away from us.

For many years, the fish stocks have never been as good as they are now. We are away tuna fishing for five months of the year, and fish outside of the Bay when the weather is settled, so we only spend limited time in the Bay .

Our latest trawl gear just tickles the seabed, otherwise we would never get it back on board; the doors that spread the net only have 100mm wide by one-metre-long shoes on them, while the sweeps bridles are wrapped with rope to ensure they don’t dig into the seabed. We currently run five-inch cod ends, so we have very little by catch and consequently our footprint in the Bay is very small. I believe the Bay is running fine as it is.

I think a lot of people look out their windows, see boats on the horizon, and think they are trawlers when in fact they are mussel boats.

What’s going to happen if the minister of fisheries brings in new rules which require all the catch, even undersized fish, landed? How will that affect the food chain out there? For one thing, you will have the seagulls lining up outside the takeaways.

Tail is wagging the dog

There are two letters recently that need comment. The first is Gary Thorpe’s (GBW 11/6) in which he states elected representatives are losing control of our district council. I believe he is absolutely correct. A common statement made about local bodies is “The tail is wagging the dog“.

Steve Penny in his letter (GBW 18/6) “the case for robust representation“ has the answer: Our multi-million-dollar business, employing over 350 staff, elects a board of directors (councillors) who have to control the

LE T TERS finances, and delivery of services. Ratepayers are “shareholders” in this company, but they do not earn dividends, or money on their investment, but are rewarded by the quality of life and services.

All staff engaged by the CEO have high qualifications for their job requirements (degrees, certificates of engineering, etc) and, above all, Local Government indoctrination of the LGOIMA and the LGA. Steve is right in suggested we need comprehensive campaigns to properly assess candidates’ character, core beliefs, vision, and judgements, before sealing our approval with a vote.

We need more detailed CVs and education qualifications on their profiles in order to judge their ability to serve as directors on the “board” of TDC. I believe that if our representatives lack the worldly experience, education, and personal qualities to challenge the “system“, then the council staff will be able to control them.

As Steve points out in his last sentence, have councillors, with their judgement on the dam, let us down or did they get it badly wrong?

Farmers: come and be heard

National Party spokesman on Agriculture David Bennett, is coming to Pakawau Hall on Friday 9 July at 11am (note change of time). He is coming, not to talk, but to listen to farmer’s concern, so make the most of it. A Federated Farmers spokesman will record the questions and concerns, and at the hall door, there will be a box into which previously written questions (include your email address) can be deposited. At the end of the meeting, David Bennett will take the box away, sort out the letters, and send replies. Bring your own sandwich, tea will be provided.

Submit to landscapes/coastal study

Tasman District Council is trying for the fourth time to bring in restrictions on all seaside properties, quarries, farms and any land activities, through the proposed Coastal Environment Study and their Landscape Study, 2021.

TDC formed a working party of a cross-section of Golden Bay community members, DOC, environmental groups and council staff. For over two years, at a cost to ratepayers of tens of thousands of dollars, with hundreds of voluntary hours put in by our community members, this has now seemingly been disregarded. They have appointed a fourth consultant and included in their study the whole of Golden Bay again.

If your property is within the final ONL (Outstanding Natural Landscapes), ONF (Outstanding Natural Features) or CE (Coastal

Environment), there may be restrictions put on your ability to carry out any new activity on your land in the future. I am encouraging you to send in a submission, even if you have submitted before, as this is for a “new” Tasman Environmental Plan. All that is required is one written paragraph saying that you want to be involved in the submission process and send it in to council by 30 June.

NEED A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE CHRISTMAS??

Hello Golden Bay, If it is your intention to have a new Toyota for your holidays at Christmas, I would encourage you to order as soon as possible.

Toyota currently has over 10,000 cars on backorder and the wait time is between 4 and 6 months, which is unprecedented for Toyota.

Make sure you come and talk to me if you are wanting that new car before Christmas, and we can make that happen for you.

Until next time....Cheers.

Turn compost heaps to speed decomposition.

DOWN TO EARTH: Garden rethink SOL MORGAN, GROWISE CONSULTANCY

July is the quietest of months in the garden and is often the coldest. This gives us time to be indoors fixing tools and garden equipment.

Taking some time to think about how well the garden performed in the last year offers an opportunity to make improvements.

Maybe the type of vegetables you grew didn’t suit your family’s needs or taste buds. Variety selection is important, as some may do well in dry climates but not so well in the Bay, where it’s wetter. A good practice is to grow what local seedling suppliers sell as they have often tried and tested what works well here. Or you may want to trial different cultivars to see what works best.

Check out catalogues like Kings Seeds, Eco Seeds, and Setha Seeds, to name a few. You could even join the local GB Seed Savers group. Come along and hear about seed saving in my upcoming talk at the Takaka Library in early August.

You could also change the placement of different vegetables and fruits. Your vegetable garden may be getting too much shade because of trees, so moving it to a sunny position will make a definite difference to its performance. Containers could be employed on the deck for heat-loving crops like tomatoes and peppers. The garage wall could be utilised for growing

beans, instead of being that weedy patch. Salad vegetables and fresh annual herbs could be grown closer to the kitchen in keyhole designed beds for greater productivity and easier accessibility. Instead of an orchard that gets neglected way out the back, you may like to try integrating fruits into the ornamental garden. Its herbaceous flowers and perennial shrubs attract beneficial insects, lessening the need for harmful sprays.

Food forests are an example of integrated plantings.

They make use of every style of plant form: ground covers, herbaceous layers, shrubs, small and larger trees (like fruits) and canopy trees that provide shelter and valuable carbon when pruned and shredded every year (or perhaps left as leaf litter).

In terms of infrastructure, it may be time to invest in a hothouse or glasshouse. This will enable you to grow far more food crops throughout the year. There is plenty of scope to upcycle an old shed with second-hand windows to do the job. Even inside the home, more food and houseplants can be grown to save on the shopping bill, as well as providing fresher air to breathe.

Or perhaps it’s time to revamp your compost system? Make the most of organic materials you have at hand and improve soil fertility at the same time.

Tumble Time tots have terrific time

Tumble Time is back for preschoolers aged 0-4 years.

Held on Friday mornings from 10-11.30am at the Recreation Centre, it is a fun playtime for tots and a social time for their caregivers. Sessions are facilitated by early childhood teacher Annie Van Lier and youth badminton co-ordinator Tom Lake.

Annie worked for several years at Golden Bay Kindergarten before taking maternity leave. Now that her son is eight months old, she felt the time was right to step into the Tumble Time role. Meeting other mums is important to her at this stage, too.

“It’s great having this nice space with the heaters - and Cheryl Elsey brings up her coffee cart when she can. Tea and coffee is available (anyway) and the whole thing is koha-based, but no pressure,” said Annie. “We don’t want that to be a barrier.”

All parents and caregivers are welcome to attend, with no obligations. “The parents just sign in. That’s so we can go back to the council to show results and secure more funding.”

Both Annie and Tom say they were rapt with the number of attendees who came the first week. They had initially set up in a smaller room, but found they needed to move into the larger space.

“We just set up a room full of toys, and the kids do their thing,” said Tom. “And the parents chat.”

Known to the Recreation Centre when he ran a laser tag activity for the last holiday programme, Tom now also runs youth badminton on Friday afternoon. He is enthusiastic about working with youth, though this is the first time Tom has worked with preschoolers.

An attending mum of two children said, “I find it so neat to have Tumble Time available. During school holidays it doesn’t run because of the holiday programme. For our younger ones it’s just perfect.”

COLLINGWOOD’S MUDDY MARVELS Continued from page 1 ...home side following a kick to touch.

Trying to keep track of who was who in the trench warfare came down to simply observing which try line the players ran towards. But teammates appeared to have less of a problem.

Collingwood managed to string some good passes together despite the slippery ball and treacherous surface, and they capped an impressive performance with Curnow scoring his third try of the game moments before the final whistle sounded.

At the end of the match, the scoreboard showed 25-5, all points coming from tries, as kickers struggled to convert in the conditions.

Speaking at the end of the match, Collingwood coach Graeme Miller was pleased with the performance as much as

the result: “It was messy but we got the job done. We played to the conditions which suited us, and we concentrated on our own game.”

He attributes the success of his side to a combination of individuals and their togetherness. “Sometimes you just get the right players in the right places,” said Graeme. “There’s a good spirit, a good feel. Everyone plays for each other.”

Saturday’s win means the Black and Gold juggernaut keeps rolling on and the home side now have the possibility of a home final if they can negotiate the semi-final, scheduled for Saturday 9 July.

In the meantime, they play their final round robin game tomorrow when they have the opportunity to make it a perfect 10 wins from 10 games. But it’s not something Graeme is thinking about. “We are playing game to game.”

COUNCIL MATTERS with Councillor Chris Hill In response to recent comments on the Waimea Dam funding option adopted by Council, I offer the following points of clarification.

The agreement is a pass through of borrowing to Waimea Water Ltd (WWL). This is not treated as debt for Councils net debt measure. This approach is supported by Price Waterhouse Cooper, Councils treasury advisors, as Council has a corresponding asset on its books. That lending to WWL is secured over the WWL assets which include the dam.

The CIIL $18m loan is only for 20 years. As its repayments fall due they are refinanced through the Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA).

The shareholder advances to WWL are loans and do not form part of the company’s equity unless they are converted to shares.

Regarding future construction cost increases, the shareholder advance facility limits have been set based on the current top of the project risk range of $164m estimated cost to complete. Above that point Councils contractual obligations to fund cost overruns comes back into effect.

The interest only repayments are a deliberate approach which is not uncommon for irrigation schemes owned and operated by farming interests. Their interest is to minimise

the annual cash operating costs they need to meet. They don’t fund depreciation like Council as any renewals are just loan funded when they occur. Typically, the debt would be interest only and renewed on a regular basis. That minimises the annual cost to irrigators. Over the longer term, inflation reduces the real value of the outstanding loans.

It is correct that as long as the irrigators pay the interest due through WWL, then a targeted rate cannot be reverted to - that is the intention of the arrangement. There is no need to implement a complex targeted rate if WIL is meeting its obligations. Council retains the right to target rate irrigators if there is a default.

The proposed debt levels are well within the financial capacity of Council and will not impact future funding from the LGFA. Council has always carried the financial risk for the project under either option D or revised option A. Under option D, Council has no charge over WIL or WWL assets which makes it a less advantageous position financially.

Fundamentally, we have gone from a position where ratepayers were responsible for all dam overruns after the initial $3m, to irrigators agreeing to pay for over $20m of overruns.

BOOK REVIEW: Second Place REVIEW BY ELEANOR WILSON

Rachel Cusk was born in Toronto in 1967, and educated in England. Her first novel Saving Agnes won the Whitbread Prize for a new writer.

Second Place is a story told in the first person by a writer, M (whose name is never revealed), who invites artist L (again never fully named), to live and work in an annexe of her home in remote marshlands. The place and time is never specified.

The title refers not only to an additional dwelling, but also M’s feelings about herself as a woman. The novel, in the author’s own words, “owes a debt” to the writer Mabel Dodge Luhans’s account of the occasion in 1932 when she invited the writer DH Lawrence to stay with her in New Mexico. He profoundly influenced her life.

M is married to Tony, a practical man of few words who works hard in managing their land. She has been married previously, but we learn little about this except that her first husband was vindictive, and that there is a daughter from this marriage.

Justine, his daughter, is now 21 years old and lives in Germany with her partner Kurt.

M is convinced that the artist L, whose paintings made a deep impression on her some years before, will somehow make her whole and give meaning to her life. When he arrives, however, he is accompanied by a beautiful young woman, Brett, and this immediately shatters her expectations. In addition, Justine and Kurt, because of some unspecified international crisis, leave Berlin and join the household.

“It changes everything,” M says.

Instead of living in the annexe alone and helping M to make sense of her life through his paintings and his artist’s observations of the striking countryside, L shares his time with Brett and shows little inclination for exchange of ideas.

Brett is lively and sociable. She gradually forms a relationship with Justine, who begins to blossom under her influence. M recognises that she is jealous of Brett’s influence in achieving what she has been unable to do herself. So the relationships are complex, and the consequences profound.

Rachel Cusk’s novel is, however, memorable not for its narrative but for the style and method of presenting it to the readers. M addresses her story throughout to “Jeffers” as if she is writing to a friend. Jeffers’ identity is never revealed, therefore we do not understand what influence he might have had, but his name is constantly invoked.

The writer’s distinctive style, which she has developed during her earlier novels, is one of intense introspection. M’s state of mind, her response to events, and her feelings of

inadequacy, are presented in almost overwhelming detail. It has been described as “psychodrama”. The actual narrative has gaps, which readers must attempt to fill in. For instance, we do not know M’s age, or the date or place at which these events take place. Everything and everyone is presented solely through M’s sensitive and self-absorbed point of view. There is little dialogue to reveal character.

Her descriptions of the mysterious and beautiful marshlands are poetic and memorable. However, this is a challenging novel which demands the reader’s total acceptance of Rachel Cusk’s style.

NATURE DIARY

WHAKAARO: Waimea Dam “Revised Option A” TONY LAWTON MCOM AND DR ROLAND TODER

The dam’s estimated cost-to-completion has now reached $158m, overrunning the pre-construction estimate by $54m.

Tasman District Council recently adopted “revised option A” for funding the irrigators share of this cost overrun. A majority of councillors voted for this option in preference to “option D”, where irrigators would have been charged a targeted rate. What are the differences between these two options for ratepayers?

Who owns the debt – TDC or irrigators?

SUBMITTED BY CYNTHIA McCONVILLE

Under both options TDC will borrow the irrigators 49 per cent share of the cost overrun ($25m).

Under revised option A, TDC lend (or “pass-through”) this amount to Waimea Water Ltd (the Council Controlled Organisation responsible for constructing the dam). TDC, not the irrigators, remains liable to its bank for all loan repayments (principal and interest). TDC’s security for its loan to WWL is the dam, which is worth only what it can sell its water for, and one which TDC cannot sell to recoup costs.

Under option D, TDC’s security for its borrowings on behalf of irrigators is a targeted rate over the irrigators’ properties, for both the interest costs, and principal repayments on the $25m.

Feathered friends, beware. Dare to pass too close to his food source and with the precision of a fighter pilot Mr Bossy Boots will swoop, forcing you to the ground. This resident male tui definitely has attitude. A less polite but fitting name would be Bully Boy. Known to take on bigger birds, including kereru (wood pigeons), a Californian quail perched on the gazebo became another victim. Alighting opposite it, looking directly at it, he puffed his chest up and raised his wings, whereupon the startled quail took flight.

From a distance tui appear to be entirely black feathered but it is only the head and underparts that are black. Caught in the sunlight their wings and tail shine an iridescent green, with bronze on the upper back and flanks. The nape and sides of the neck have stunning interspersed cloaklike white feathers. Two white tufts (poi) sit at the throat.

Predominantly nectar eaters, tui have a curved bill and long brush-tipped tongue they use to reach deep into flowers.

They also feed on a mixture of berries and insects.

A treasured icon, the tui features in popular culture such as our local Tui Balms, Tui Garden Products and of course Tui Brewery. Not even our national bird, the kiwi, gets as much coverage. Our love affair with the tui is no doubt connected to their beautiful song. The product of a dual voice box, the song is almost orchestral, ranging from guttural to spiritual.

Maori sometimes tamed tui and taught them to speak.

They were taught mihi (greetings) which they would recite when visitors arrived. Trained to sound like the loud and deep voice of a chief, a tui that spoke like this was called manu rangatira - a chiefly bird.

Are irrigators charged their share of costs?

Under revised Option A, TDC pay the interest on the irrigators’ share (around $150,000 per annum) for the first five years, after which the irrigators will pay this via their water charges. TDC plans to target rate irrigators’ properties if they default, although this would occur only if the horticulture industry is in crisis (eg, from a downturn in the typically cyclical apple industry). TDC will not charge the irrigators the principal on the loan, stating they will “fund the dam by interest only loans continuously rolled over for the life of the dam [to] minimise the cost to irrigators”.

TDC states it is doing this to “manage equity and affordability”

as “costs” (ie, interest) can be attributed to irrigators based on their water usage. However, there are only a small number of irrigators disadvantaged via option D’s targeted rate based on property value. Given TDC already uses volumetric charging for water rates, it is hardly an insurmountable problem to ensure larger water users pay their fair share.

Utilising TDC’s credit rating (based on ratepayers’ houses as security) so that irrigators pay far less interest than warranted by their business risk, increases risk to ratepayers. This is true under both options. However, no principal repayments and a “five-year interest holiday” at the ratepayers’ cost means revised option A does not deliver what 84 per cent of ratepayers requested in their submissions to TDC.

Will revised option A increase your rates?

Under either option, funding the irrigators share of cost overruns means TDC will face restrictions on future borrowing to cover, say, climate change costs, so more will have to be funded from your rates. And TDC’s credit rating will be affected, leading to higher borrowing costs paid for by ratepayers who are already being charged one of the highest rates in the country.

Dams often have an “optimal life”. Many irrigation dams in the USA are decommissioned after around 50 years. At some point in the future, ratepayers will be faced with $25m (minimum) residual debt with no offsetting income, an expensive bill to decommission a dam with no saleable value, and a questionable ability to recover any share of irrigators’ cost overruns from a depressed horticulture industry with falling property values.

Option D’s possibility for principal repayments and security via a targeted rate on irrigators’ properties would have meant irrigators (rather than ratepayers) bear more of their share of risks and costs on the dam.

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.

Mineral Museum night market ROSA VOLZ

Who doesn’t love a night market with a bonfire?

The Wee Grand Opening of the Mohua Mineral Museum on Sunday 20 June was a festive yet relaxed affair complete with music, dancing and market stalls. There was a family feel to the shared community feast complete with delicious slow-cooked pig on a spit, beautifully basted and served with BBQ sauce on Bacca bread.

Event organiser and owner of the Mohua Mineral Museum, Dani Jamieson, explains that the event brings together a number of intentions.

“To celebrate small successes, and to include community in a celebration of the winter solstice.”

The success she is referring to is the opening of her museum and carving studio, which (whilst informally open since January) is now officially open. The museum offers a tactile experience of predominantly New Zealand geology, an artists’ collective gallery and an open-plan carving studio. Dani offers private carving lessons, geology-walking tours and school holiday

It’s “now or never” for climate action SUBMITTED

Multi award-winning business journalist Rod Oram, pictured right, is coming to Takaka next Thursday to give the talk “Now or Never: Why this is our critical year in the climate crisis”.

Rod contributes weekly to Newsroom, Nine to Noon, and Newstalk ZB. He is a public speaker on deep sustainability, business, economics, and innovation.

“The government, by law, must respond by the end of this year to the Climate Change Commission’s recommendations on carbon budgets, pathways and policies for the next 15 years,” he says.

“If it makes bold decisions and builds public support for them, Aotearoa has a fighting chance of blunting the worst of the climate crisis. If it fails to do so, we’ll be in deep trouble at home and abroad.”

Rod is a member of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, which brings together people from here and abroad who seek to contribute to global change from Aotearoa.

Rod Oram is speaking at the Golden Bay Community Centre, Mohua Social Services on Thursday 1 July, 12–1pm. $5 entry.

These are Network Tasman’s ‘underground boxes’.

They are the protective covers we place over the fuses that connect the underground power cables to the service cables conveying electricity to your house or business. As these boxes have live electrical components inside them, it’s important for public safety that they have securely fitted covers.

The talk is co-hosted by Climate Love and the Golden Bay Green Party.

We have about 12,000 underground boxes on our network, most of them in urban areas. As they are generally in public spaces they sometimes get damaged when: z

vehicles accidentally run into them, causing the cover to loosen or crack

z

people drill holes or insert screws into them

z

some have their covers removed by people not authorised to do so.

TALK BY DARRYL GALLAGHER, senior curator of photography at Nelson Provincial Museum, on the subject of dating photographs, hosted by The Golden Bay Genealogy Group.

Although this is the fourth in a series of talks and videos that the group has been holding over the past few months, we think it would be a wonderful opportunity for people outside the group to hear Darryl talk. Everyone welcome, no charge. 1pm in the St John Rooms up at the A&P showgrounds.
