Bay slow on vaccine uptake

JO RICHARDS

The Region’s health providers have moved the vaccination dial closer to the Government’s target over the past week, but Golden Bay remains slow on the uptake.

Figures provided by Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) on Tuesday show that, of the 2383 doses administered across the region on Super Saturday, 80 were given in Golden Bay where the cumulative totals reached 3096 for first doses and 2527 for second doses. These figures represent 67 per cent and 54 per cent of the Bay’s eligible population (those aged 12 and above) respectively, far below the equivalent figures for the NMH region as a whole. Leading the way, the Marlborough District has now reached the 90 per cent milestone for first doses.

In an attempt to encourage uptake in Golden Bay, a trio of Nelson Primary Health clinicians hit the road earlier this week and took the vaccine to several outlying communities.

The crew on the so-called Golden Bay Tiki Tour – Rebecca Colley, Kay Ford and NgaireDawn Munro – travelled across the Bay in a campervan to provide jabs and advice.

On Monday, the team started at Tata Beach boat ramp before moving to the Pōhara Store.

The following day they spent the morning at Bainham and the afternoon at Pakawau.

Speaking at the Tiki Tour stop at Pakawau camp, team leader Kay Ford said the initiative had gone “really well”. In addition to administering around 40 doses, she said that the team had spoken to numerous people who simply wanted more information. “We had a few people in for a chat to find out about the vaccine. It was really good to talk.”

Rebecca stressed how important it was to reach out to remote areas where the demands of rural life made it difficult to schedule appointments in Tākaka. “It’s calving, it’s milking. We had four workers, who can’t get into town, turn up between jobs.”

The overwhelming majority of those receiving a jab experience no adverse reaction, or only mild side-effects. However there are exceptions, and on Saturday a patient was transferred to Golden Bay Community Health Centre as a result of a medical issue after receiving their vaccination at the pharmacy.

Following a period of recovery, the patient was discharged the same day.

It is still unclear whether the event was an adverse reaction to the vaccination, but it is currently thought to be a vasovagal issue, complicated by other contributing factors, and not an allergic reaction.

All such incidents in New Zealand are repor ted as adverse events following

immunisation (AEFI) to the Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM) based at Otago University. An AEFI is defined as an untoward medical event which follows immunisation but does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the administration of the vaccine.

New Zealand Medicine and Medical Devices Safety Authority, Medsafe, monitors reported AEFIs and provides information through regular updates.

In its most recent report, published 13 October, Medsafe’s figures show that, up to and including 25 September, by which time over five million doses of the Pfizer vaccine had been administered across NZ, a total of 75 deaths had been reported to CARM. Following medical assessments by CARM and Medsafe, it has been confirmed that one of these deaths is likely due to vaccine-induced myocarditis, while 33 other cases are still under investigation, and the remainder have not been linked to the vaccine.

As summer looms, and with it the prospect of an influx of thousands of visitors from all over the country, NMH is maintaining the push to get the Golden Bay population vaccinated.

Today there is a drive-through clinic at GB Community Health Centre, with another tomorrow at Collingwood Health Centre. Both clinics run from 9.30am-2.30pm.

Homes are where we feel safe.

At our open homes, we're determined to keep it that way.

TDC consultations JO RICHARDS

Tasman District Council (TDC) is in the middle of a very busy period of public consultation.

The current and upcoming consultations involve a wide range of issues, from longterm regional strategy to specific local reviews. For those who wish to have their say on one or more of these topics, the following provides a brief overview of current activity.

Future Development Strategy Time is running out to provide feedback on the Nelson Tasman 2021-2051 Future Development Strategy. Having started on 4 October, the first round of community engagement has been a virtual exercise carried out online via a series of webinars.

A recording of a webinar, along with all the questions and answers around key issues are available on the TDC website – but only until next Tuesday.

TDC is still welcoming feedback, as well as suggestions for strategic sites for future housing and business development across the region.

The project – a joint undertaking between TDC and Nelson City Council – is due to be completed in July 2022.

For more information, including how to submit feedback, go to: tasman.govt.nz/fds 2021 Tasman BioStrategy A draft document, developed using last year’s community input, has been released by a working group appointed by TDC and iwi representatives. The group is now seeking feedback on the draft strategy.

The BioStrategy sets regional goals and a pathway for restoration of air, land, freshwater and sea. The key message from the document is that further biodiversity loss, including extinctions, is inevitable without the transformational change set out in the group’s vision.

More information is available from the council website. Feedback can be submitted until Sunday 7 November to peter@phoenixfacilitation.co.nz Pōhara Holiday Park lease TDC is proposing to grant a new 33-year lease to the operators of the Pōhara Holiday Park, despite the fact that the current lease doesn’t expire for another 19 years.

Council believes that the new lease will enable it to realise increased returns on the campground assets, which will provide a better yield for ratepayers.

More information is on TDC’s website and feedback can be submitted until 4pm Monday 15 November to: Jessica.moore@ tasman.govt.nz Continued on page 2

TDC CONSULTATIONS Continued from page 1 GB Easter trading Golden Bay Community Board is proposing that TDC introduces a policy to allow shops in Golden Bay to trade on Easter Sunday.

The draft policy is available on the TDC website or at council service centres and libraries.

Public consultation period will run from Friday 29 October until Sunday 5 December.

Feedback can be submitted online, or by completing a form and returning it to a service centre or library, or via the mail to TDC.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The first round of community engagement for the Nelson Tasman 2021 – 2051 Future Development Strategy (FDS) is into its final week, having started on 4 October.

This round is being held remotely with information available online until 26 October.

Our recent series of webinars allowed staff to provide an overview of the project and answer questions on some key issues. A recording of a webinar and all the questions and answers to date are available on our website.

However, there is still plenty of opportunity for anyone to provide comments, feedback or suggest strategic sites for future housing and business development in our region.

The FDS does not rezone the land but identifies strategic locations to accommodate growth demands over the next 30 years.

Any site suggestions will be considered in the preparation of the new FDS, a joint project between Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council. It will replace the adopted FDS of July 2019. The project will be completed in July 2022.

More information, including how to provide feedback, can be found at tasman.govt.nz/fds.

Alternatively, you can email futuredevelopmentstrategy@tasman.govt.nz.

Boosting your immune system Although vaccines are proving to be a key weapon in the global battle against Covid-19, it is recognised that vaccination alone is unlikely to win the war.

Consequently, simple hygiene measures – such as social distancing, frequent hand-washing and the appropriate wearing of face-coverings – are set to remain part of our dayto-day lives for a while yet.

Experience from almost two years of the pandemic shows that individuals with compromised health and underlying conditions are frequently the most seriously affected by Covid-19. Improving health and fitness is something that could and should be considered as part of our personal armoury.

Simple measures such as regular exercise and good nutrition, for example, can be very effective in boosting the body’s immune system – our natural protection mechanism.

Dr Malena Hasbun is a medical doctor with 25 years’ experience in nutrition and functional medicine. Here she discusses some of the ways in which the body’s immune system can be strengthened with nutrients.

Whether young or old, healthy or ill, our immune system helps us to withstand a whole range of infections from the common cold to Covid-19. Optimising the way it functions can make the difference between getting a few sniffles or landing in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) when exposed to a virus.

We know that health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure increase the risk of having severe disease with Covid-19, and that vegetarian and vegan diets can lower that risk. We also know that patients who end up in ICU often have extremely low levels of vitamins C and D, for instance, but repleting those vitamins at that point is not uniformly helpful. The key is in having replete stores of these vitamins and other helpful phytonutrients found in our diet beforehand. Therefore, now is the time to upgrade our diet: include generous amounts of a variety of vegetables and fruits (three or four times more veggies than fruits), nuts and seeds, good quality protein and fermented foods, and avoid sugars, processed, packaged and deep-fried foods.

Whether vaccinated or not, get sufficient sleep, exercise, and cultivate calm, gratitude, and connection to loved ones.

These also play a significant role in bolstering immunity. In addition, there are some specific nutrients and botanicals that can provide us with more resilience to viral infections.

Here are some of the most well-studied nutrients and their food sources: Curcumin: A compound found in the spice turmeric. It is poorly absorbed in its natural form but adding black pepper to food cooked with turmeric increases absorption slightly.

There are also supplements available; these are more easily absorbed in therapeutic doses. Curcumin is well known for its anti-inflammatory benefits and has been shown to decrease viral replication.

Quercetin: A pigment that gives colour to the leaves and skins of some fruits and vegetables. It is a potent antioxidant that protects cells from damage, has extensive benefits and has been shown to decrease the rate of viral growth. Some of the highest concentrations are found in onions, capers, kale, asparagus, apple skins, and many of the berries.

Vitamin A: Is anti-inflammatory, supports our lungs and enhances immune function. It is only found in animal products, but its precursors are found in fruits and veggies. For most healthy people, converting the carotenoid precursors into the active form of vitamin A within the body is easy. However, some people with specific genetics don’t convert it very well.

Foods with the greatest concentrations are liver and cod liver oil, followed by mackerel and salmon. Butter and cheeses have

smaller amounts. Plant-based sources of carotenoids include cooked sweet potato, winter squash, kale, collards, turnip greens and carrots. Cooking increases its absorption. It is fat soluble, so taking a vitamin A supplement needs to be done with caution as you can get too much of it.

Vitamin C: Supports immunity in multiple ways, slows viral growth and decreases symptoms. It has been used in some ICUs to treat Covid and is very safe to take orally. A wide variety of vegetables and fruits are high in vitamin C. Most famous are the citruses, but many vegetables such as kale, broccoli, spinach, chili peppers, capsicums and parsley have higher concentrations. Vitamin C is water soluble and degrades with heating, so lower amounts are present after cooking.

Vitamin D: Besides being necessary for healthy bones, vitamin D enhances immune function and slows viral growth and has many other important roles in the body. The best source is sunshine, which stimulates our bodies to make it. In our diet, it is found in fatty fish, eggs and fortified milk products.

If you decide to supplement, take the D3 form and, because it is fat soluble, and make sure you don’t overdo it. Optimal levels in the blood are 80-150nm/L. Zinc: An essential trace mineral found in largest concentrations in lamb, pumpkin and hemp seeds, chickpeas, lentils, cashews, and dairy products. It is best absorbed from animal products because many plants contain phytic acid, which blocks absorption. One way to avoid this is to soak, sprout or ferment foods. Zinc plays a key role in the body and has been shown to have strong antiviral properties against many viruses. It is possible to take too much with a supplement so, again, don’t overdo it.

Anyone with an “overactive” autoimmune disorder (ie lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes) should seek medical advice regarding the use of nutritional and therapeutic immune boosters.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 22 OCTOBER 2021

Last orders for Totally Roasted ALISTAIR HUGHES

One of Kris Falconer’s favourite memories of running Pōhara’s Totally Roasted café is cranking out 100 pizzas a night with a wood-fired oven so hot it completely melted a nearby thermometer.

“In summer there is just an astronomical amount of people in the Pōhara campground and holiday homes, so the whole place is just heaving with customers,” Kris recounts. “It’s really enjoyable to be running a business when it’s absolutely pumping at maximum and you achieve what seemed like the impossible.”

But sadly, Totally Roasted has seen its final summer and will be closing on 7 November.

It is a decision Kris and his former partner Jo McLean have reluctantly agreed upon, due to the impact of the pandemic on businesses, and other factors.

“It’s a little bit bittersweet, but it’s also quite exciting to be entering the next phase of my life,” says Kris.

After moving to Golden Bay 30 years ago, Kris worked at the Wholemeal Café, the Mussel Inn and at Awaroa, before beginning the iconic Dangerous Kitchen in 1992.

“And back then it was pretty much the Wholemeal, the middle dairy and us. There wasn’t a great deal of cafés in town.”

That soon changed as café culture took hold. Kris spent the next seven-and-a-half years at the Dangerous Kitchen before taking over the site of the old Four Winds Nursery in Pōhara.

Transforming it into Totally Roasted, he and his family ran it with passion for the next 20 years.

Kris’s domain was the engine room of the cafe: the kitchen.

At the busiest times of the year he would start at 4.30am, working through to early evening.

“There is a hell of a lot of unseen work that goes into things, and I’m so grateful for my two sons, who’ve been working with me,” Kris says. “My eldest son Jordy (22) has become a very competent chef.” He is equally proud of Jackson, (21), who has run the busy front-of-house in an “unflappable manner”.

“I could not have coped – especially in the last three to four years – without them. This change is quite exciting for them, too, because they now have the opportunity to try something else in their lives.”

Kris adds that his staff over the years have been amazing

and integral to running the café, and he sends a huge thank you to them all. However, the heart of the business has always been Totally Roasted’s loyal customers.

“They have been so supportive over the years. I have a lot of regulars and they’re quite upset about this development. A lot of my customers are a little bit older, and really liked the fact that they could come down here and enjoy food and coffee in a non alcohol-based setting. But if I was going to continue, that was the direction I was going to go; getting a licence and carrying on into the evening.”

Leaving us with this hint of what might have been, Kris will be taking a break “just to evaluate things. I’m not in any great hurry to choose a new direction. I just need to relax and process all this. Totally Roasted has been such a big part of my life.”

Proposed Easter Sunday Shop Trading Policy for the Golden Bay Ward The Golden Bay Community Board is proposing that Council introduces a policy that enables shops in Golden Bay to have the choice of whether or not to trade on Easter Sunday.

The proposal is made in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 and Shop Trading Hours Act 1990.

Public consultation on the proposed policy will take place from 8.00 am Friday 29 October 2021 until 4.00 pm Sunday 5 December 2021.

We’d like to have your input before the Board makes a final recommendation to Council on whether shops should be allowed to trade on Easter Sunday or not.

We welcome submissions from any interested person or organisation on any aspect of the proposed policy.

You can read the Draft Easter Sunday Trading Policy on Tasman District Council’s website, or get a copy from any of our service centres and libraries.

You can submit feedback online at tasman.govt.nz/feedback, in writing or by filling out the form and sending it to info@tasman.govt.nz, dropping it in to one of our service centres or libraries, or by posting it to: Golden Bay Easter Trading Tasman District Council Private Bag 4 Richmond 7050 A meeting to hear submissions will be held in late January 2022. If you would like to speak to your submission, please indicate this and provide your contact details, including phone number, on your submission.

Up the junction!

A month ago there was a letter criticising the proposed intersection changes for Meihana and Commercial Streets, and Waitapu Road. My house overlooks this location.

I attended preliminary meetings with TDC staff and found out that the small road cutting through from Meihana Street to Commercial Street, no longer in use, was actually built across park and reserve land and shouldn’t be there.

The big freight trucks and tankers leave their yards for farms and head either north or south. If north, they head straight through towards Collingwood with no need to turn towards town. If south, they head up Motupipi Street. So I’m thinking this intersection change isn’t a problem for them. I’m pleased the introduction of raised pedestrian crossings by the school causes traffic to slow.

For smaller vehicles, the turn towards town from Meihana Street is no problem.

There was a raised divider between the left and right lane at the point where traffic turns to the right to go towards Meihana Street. This encouraged some drivers leaving the school to travel the wrong way for a few metres up the wrong lane to turn onto Commercial Street, a practice I couldn’t see the sense of.

The small connecting road was still available. Now those cars can cross directly from the gate into the correct lane.

Good to see an introduced play frame but not sure it’s the right choice. I’ve only ever seen it used once.

I back the proposed changes.

Just because humanity is capable of advanced technology, like making functional cheap stuff that breaks down and soon ends up at what we softly refer to as “land fill”, does not mean we should do it. The chip industry comes with serious environmental detriments.

Long lasting, older, fixable models need to be re-introduced without the unnecessary, wasteful computer chip technology.

More lessons from history

Re Peter Barker’s letter (GBW 15/10).

I have my own lesson in history regarding medical science.

My mother was pregnant with my sister in late 1961 and was offered the drug Thalidomide. She had heard rumours about its safety and questioned the nurse. The nurse still insisted that the drug was safe, however, maybe due to instinct, my mother declined and my sister was born fit and healthy.

It has since been established that many distillers of the drug, including in Australia and Germany knew of the possible link to deformations and death going back as early as 1959, but sat on the knowledge and did nothing to investigate, they

just kept selling more and more of the drug. The link between Thalidomide and birth defects was first made public in a letter published in The Lancet from an Australian doctor, William McBride, in June 1961 (he had already called and written letters to the drug’s distillers). It wasn’t until November 1961 it was pulled from use from many countries, but not all. It is believed that as many as 100,000 babies were affected in total with most being stillborn or dying soon after birth. In a 2014 Guardian expose it was revealed that victims were betrayed by political interference in the criminal trial in Germany. The nine men charged with intent to commit bodily harm and involuntary manslaughter went free.

I think the lesson is to never underestimate the corruptible nature of money and power.

Three Waters Reform necessary

It’s unfortunate that neglect, by the National Party Government and various councils, of environmental concerns have made the Three Waters move necessary. Now the repair must happen with alacrity and expertise.

Drinking water appears to be the main public concern.

On the Government’s website Nanaia Mahuta says: “All our water assets will be retained in local ownership: that has been a bottom line for us. We have added a public referendum provision to provide ultimate protection against privatisation.

There will be mechanisms to ensure a strong community say in how assets and services are arranged and how planning will be managed.”

Some points: “Local authorities are the owners of the entity on behalf of their communities...entities will be governed by independent boards...will be required to engage with consumers on key strategies and plans that affect them...”

My opinion is that TDC is short on funding, and motivation, for ecological reforms and lack the expertise to do this properly.

For years they have ignored consumer requests and proven evidence for the need to deal with pollution. I hope they can swallow their pride and go for the govt package as offered for the sake of the public good.

Staff at Ray White in Tākaka are hoping Golden Bay will turn pink next Friday – all in a good cause.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and, under normal circumstances, Ray White Golden Bay (RWGB) would be holding a stall in town to raise funds for the annual Pink Ribbon Street Appeal. This year, however, due to Covid-19 restrictions, the appeal will shift from the street to the workplace.

According to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation (NZBCF), “Every day in New Zealand, nine women are diagnosed with breast cancer, so it’s highly likely that someone in your workplace will either be diagnosed with, or has had breast cancer, or is supporting someone with breast cancer”.

Manager of Tākaka Hospice Shop Nina Sobhani. Photo: Jo Richards.

Nelson Tasman Hospice (NTH) is putting out an urgent call for volunteers to help at the region’s Hospice Shops.

The Hospice Shops in Nelson, Richmond, Motueka and Tākaka raise around half of the annual $2.5 million funding shortfall for NTH – income essential for the provision of services to patients with a life-limiting illness and their families across the region.

Unfortunately, Hospice Shops have been struggling to get back on track post lockdown.

“Since the return to the Government’s Level 2, many volunteers in the shops haven’t been able to return to work,” explains NTH communications coordinator Rachael Moffitt.

“Unfortunately, this has meant some stores are working with reduced hours, and team members who are still able to volunteer are being spread thin.”

Tākaka Hospice Shop manager Nina Sobhani is looking to add to her “awesome” team. “It’s good to have back-up,” says Nina. “Two or three extra people would be great.”

She explains that volunteers normally work one morning or afternoon shift each week. “It needn’t be a major time commitment – and we can be flexible.”

For more information about volunteering phone NTH volunteer programme manager Krisca Gould on 03 546 3912, or email her at: Krisca.gould@nelsonhospice.org.nz

To mark its selection for the finals of this year’s Sustainable Business Awards, Collingwood-based HealthPost is running a competition of its own. Between now and mid-December a series of three online quizzes will offer the opportunity to win spot prizes and gift packs worth up to $150 each, as well as a grand prize of stunning artwork by Peter Geen to the value of $1500. All prizes are sourced from Golden Bay. The aim of the #InOurNatureNZ competition is to celebrate the tangible differences the company is making in its sustainability journey, and to encourage others to do the same.

Ever since it started, over 30 years ago, HealthPost has been Peter Butler, chair of Healthpost. focused on growing a sustainable and ethical business. The SUBMITTED quest has included installing solar power at its Collingwood base, using eco-packaging for its products, reducing and recycling waste, restoring local biodiversity, and offsetting unavoidable carbon emissions. But the journey is also about people, and HealthPost has achieved official recognition as a Certified Living Wage and socially responsible employer.

At the awards night on 25 November, HealthPost will be one of 75 finalists from across New Zealand looking to scoop the top prizes in one or more of 10 categories. Given the breadth of the company’s achievements it’s not really surprising that it has been shortlisted for two of those categories - Restoring Nature and Social Impactor.

The results will be announced on the night, but in the meantime, HealthPost’s own competition is up and running with the first of three themed quizzes now online: Quiz 1: Nature – 14-31 October Quiz 2: Sustainability – 1-22 November Quiz 3: People – 23 November- 11 December To enter the #InOurNatureNZ competition, go to: www.healthpost.co.nz/inournature

POLICE REPORT Kia ora whānau • 30 September: A window was reported broken at the Golden Bay Rec Centre. If this was an accident please let staff at the centre, or Police, know.

• 30 September: A 20-year-old female from Nelson was processed for drink driving. She appears in the Nelson District Court on 4 November.

• 30 September: A 35-year-old Nelson male was arrested on two warrants to arrest. He was held in custody overnight and appeared the following the day.

• 3 October: A 42-year-old Collingwood male was arrested after failing to stop and refusing to undergo a compulsory breath test for alcohol. The intoxicated male then resisted arrest. He has been summonsed to appear in the Nelson District Court 4 November on a number of charges.

• 3 October: A male was warned for deliberately coughing towards a supermarket employee.

• 4 October: A 37-year-old local male was taken into custody and over to Nelson for the night for detox.

• 5 October: A 49-year-old local female was warned for misuse of a telephone after sending abusive text messages to another person. Two others are to receive trespass notices arising from the same incident. My advice to people is to take a breath, chose to de-escalate situations rather than ramp them up, and don’t inject yourself into problem situations unnecessarily. Be kind to each other, even if you don’t receive the kindness back – your world will be a better place for it.

• 7 October: Two locals were warned about the consequences of continuing to drive their pink-stickered motor vehicle that had not been warranted since 2015. Unfortunately they did not heed the warning and were stopped by another officer a few days later. $1255 worth of infringements were issued.

• 8 October: A couple of domestic incidents attended by Police.

• 8 October: A 28-year-old ex-local female was tracked down in Motueka and charged with burglary, relating to her and her boyfriend helping themselves to a bach in Rangihaeata in May this year. She appears in the Nelson District Court 2 November.

• 8 October: A lamb was stolen during the week from a paddock in Wainui Bay. • 9 October: A 36-year-old local male was trespassed from a local business after making a scene when staff asked him to wear a mask. The same male is wanted for service of another trespass notice for a similar performance at another business in Pōhara.

• Tensions and stress levels are high as we come to terms with a new normal. I ask everyone to be tolerant of each other. The situation is polarising for some. Some people have legitimate reasons for not being able to wear masks, please be understanding of them. If you are one of those people, discretely advise businesses and you will find them eager to accommodate you. Don’t go on a crusade and cause a disruption. Respect that others have equally strong views that are opposite to yours. We are all pink on the inside.

• 9 October: A 51-year-old local male was arrested after crashing his car near Pakawau and refusing breath testing procedures. He has been charged with five charges, including resisting arrest and assaulting Police and spent the night in Police custody.

• 10 October: Police are investigating a crash on SH60 near Tākaka Airport.

• 12 October: Police investigated a report of breach of Covid travel restrictions.

• 15 October: An honesty box was stolen from a stall in Waitapu Wharf Road. Police investigating.

• 16 October: A group of males warned for drinking on the Junction green and being abusive to passersby.

• Thanks to all first responders and friends who attended the sudden death in Collingwood on 19 October. Our thoughts are with the man’s wife and extended family.

Stay safe – be kind – keep smiling.

Tell us your vision for the natural world

Service centres and libraries: All service centres and libraries will be closed for the public holiday on Monday 25 October. Usual opening hours apply otherwise. We are always here to help when needed though, call 03 543 8400 for assistance, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A draft Tasman BioStrategy – Te Mana o te Taiao ki te Tai o Aorere – has been released by a Working Group appointed by Tasman District Council and iwi representatives. The Working Group is now seeking feedback on the draft created through public discussion and submissions last year.

Rubbish and recycling: There are no changes to the rubbish and recycling collections. All our Resource Recovery Centres will be open as normal.

The BioStrategy sets regional goals and a pathway for restoration of air, land, freshwater and sea. It follows Te Mana o te Taiao: Aotearoa New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy in setting targets for protecting and restoring te Taiao (the natural world) up to 2050.

We’re seeking your views on a proposal to grant a longer-term lease to the operators of the Pōhara Holiday Park located on the Recreation Reserve at 809 Abel Tasman Drive, Tākaka.

The current lease still has 19 years to run, however we are proposing to grant a new lease for 33 years.

The new lease and its conditions will enable us to earn greater returns on the campground assets.

The desired result is improved returns to the ratepayer through the commercial operation on the publicly owned reserve. If the new lease proposal is not successful, the current lease for 19 years will continue.

The draft BioStrategy presents a grim picture of the current state of native biodiversity. It says that although the region has large integrated management programmes for pests, and major investment by national and local government and by citizens, further loss and extinction is inevitable without transformational change.

The vision for the future if action is taken is contrastingly upbeat. It envisages a natural world that is flourishing.

Feedback is open until 7 November 2021. For more information visit tasman.govt.nz/biostrategy. Please email all feedback to peter@phoenixfacilitation.co.nz.

Full details can be found on our website, tasman.govt.nz, search ‘Pōhara Holiday Park’.

Submissions close 4.00 pm on Monday 15 November 2021. For further information email jessica.moore@tasman.govt.nz.

Did you know you can dispose of litter you collect at a community clean-up event for free at a Tasman Resource Recovery Centre? You’ll just need to complete a quick survey which can be found on the ‘Recycling and Rubbish’ page of our website, tasman.govt.nz.

A community clean up can be as small as a group of friends or a family heading down to their local beach or stream to collect litter; or as big as 100 people all working together across a large area.

Changes are being made to how boat ramp fees are collected at Port Tarakohe in Golden Bay. The existing boat ramp barrier arm is old and well past its use by date and desperately needs upgrading. Currently, access is by a coin operated kiosk and annual swipe cards only.

The new Port Tarakohe launching ramp access boom system will be cashless and operate by Tap-n-Go. Users will be able to pay by EFTPOS, credit card and PayWave. The annual swipe card system will still be useable.

It’s expected that the new system will be up and running in time for the busy summer season, if not earlier.

Central Tākaka School, 1935. “When we went to school there was only one big building and a big porch. It was very much like the one at East Tākaka that’s now a hall,” remembers Jack Park. “A lot of the old district schools were built in that style. Big high windows; you couldn’t see out when you were sitting down. We had dances at the school; we’d do a combination of square dancing and line dancing.” Photo courtesy Park family.

ANITA PETERS

There were 11 official schools operating in Golden Bay in the early days of settlement. Now there are only three of those left: Tākaka, Motupipi and Central Tākaka, this year turning 125.

When a Central Tākaka School (CTS) was first proposed in 1894, a committee of seven held endless meetings to determine its fundamental objectives. Some deviated from the norm, like not wanting religious instruction, and summer holidays set around hop-picking season. They wanted the new building modelled on the Long Plain School building and constructed by well-known contractor John Scott.

Since many children had walked miles on rough narrow roads to and from East Tākaka School, a good number transferred to the new Central because it was closer. On opening day in 1896, the role was 42, with Thomas Landers appointed as sole charge teacher.

Over the following years, the roll fluctuated, but whenever numbers were high enough, an assistant teacher was employed. The large classroom would then be divided by a heavy curtain to create two separate spaces.

In 1900, Miss May Page took over as principal teacher and remained for 28 years. While known to be strict, during her time she established a rich culture within the school, adding to the academic focus music concerts and other staged performances, plus school picnics at Pōhara Beach involving races, fishing and swimming. Playground activities included games like rounders,

hopscotch, oranges and lemons, marbles and free pass, as well the traditional sports of cricket and football.

From early days the school and community were closely entwined. Miss Page, while teaching at CTS, was married after a 23-year engagement, during which time she was mostly sole teacher. She guided the school through many significant events: the 1905 closure of the East Tākaka to Waitapu tramway; the 1912 measles epidemic; the First World War from 1914-18; a polio epidemic in 1916; and Spanish flu and scarlet fever in 1918. Miss Fittall became teacher assistant in 1928 before May retired.

In 1929, when Rona Cross took over as head teacher, the Murchison earthquake struck, sending far-reaching shock waves throughout Golden Bay. When Roly (Roland) Papps arrived two years later in 1931, an economic downturn had marked the start of The Depression, with subsequent rising unemployment, poverty and poor child health. Roly had been an all-round sportsman in the Nelson District, prominent in both rugby and cricket, and as a teacher was dedicated to education, sport and youth. His arrival at the school with already a family of six children (and three more to come) not only boosted the school roll but also brought a welcome optimism. He introduced daily physical exercise routines and encouraged more games and sport at playtimes for both boys and girls. With the help of his musical wife Grace on piano, they both taught singing, folk dancing and music,

as well as weekend ballroom dancing classes to all outside the school community. Grace supervised reading revision and provided first aid, and assisted with handcrafts such as papiermâché, basket-making and sewing.

Combined school sports days held at the A&P showgrounds from 1931 until the 1950s included running races, sack races, long and high jumps, three-legged and egg-and-spoon races, all usually in bare feet.

Since there was no school pool, Roly would take the children across Baigent’s property to Paines Ford, known then as “The Rocks”, to teach them to swim and dive. In 1934, he was instrumental in building the first school swimming baths in the Nelson District at a cost of 28 pounds, with the generosity of the Golden Bay Cement Company. During intensely dry summer periods when water was scarce, they would often revert to “The Rocks” for swimming lessons.

In the 1940s, the school was a hive of activity. A new school building was erected in front of the old, and as young men headed off to WWII a new schoolhouse and changing sheds for the baths were being built, plus a proposal made for two tennis courts. There was constant fundraising, with dances and street stalls, with extra revenue gained from Golden Bay Cement and the War Assets Realisation Board. During this time the Boys and Girls Agricultural Club formed.

In 1948, another polio epidemic struck New Zealand.

Many locals now in their 80s still remember doing lessons in correspondence books from home because schools across the region closed and stringent hygiene rules were observed. Roly would check the work at school once a week.

The 1950s became a busy time at school, with repairs,

maintenance, landscaping, concreting, gardening and general grounds work undertaken, and installation of new heaters, a radio and furniture from the recently closed Kōtinga School.

Children were given cleaning responsibilities through the introduction of dusting and sweeping rosters. The grounds were developed further with additional native shrubbery and a pōhutukawa, which still thrives today.

The social network between the school and the community was further strengthened by kitchen evenings that followed weddings, table tennis two nights a week and card games during the winter.

In 1960, Roly Papps retired. He had been the longest-serving teacher in the school’s history, 29 years in total since 1931.

Much later, in 1978, he was awarded the Queen’s Service Medal.

In 1964, a second classroom was built, the office space was improved and Central Tākaka School became a two-teacher school.

In 1968, Roly Papps was invited to ignite the old school house, his family home for more than 30 years, in a training exercise conducted by the Tākaka Volunteer Fire Brigade. To replace it, the more modern schoolhouse from East Tākaka School was trucked up the steep cutting from the valley after that school, too, was closed. Suddenly 11 more children were added to the roll. Then, four years later, the roll dropped again when Golden Bay High School opened classes for Form 1 and up.

By 1980, the roll at CTS had again climbed to 61 children, and the school subsequently added another teacher, a new staffroom, library and book room. A third classroom was also added to the school, relocated from Pakawau School, which

had also recently closed.

Central Tākaka School has always been the hub of its wider community, involved in every school event. These have included end-of-year concerts with Father Christmas, kitchen evenings, iconic school pet days with flower, cooking, sewing and vegetable exhibits, sports days, the annual beach picnic, fundraising stalls in town filled with baking, jams, pickles, vegetables and handmade goods, school camps to places like Tōtaranui with water skill training and tramps in the bush, working bees, card evenings and history, and educational and leisure trips outside the Bay. Experiences like travelling to see Queen Elizabeth when she visited in 1954 will always be remembered.

The Central Tākaka School Centennial was celebrated during Easter of 1996, with a hearty reunion of past pupils. This year’s 125th anniversary, while still going ahead, has unfortunately been downsized due to Covid restrictions. A smaller celebration will now be combined with the annual Pet Day on Friday 12 November. Photos and memorabilia will be on show and there will be speeches followed with the planting of a tree to mark the occasion. If you haven’t already sent your RSVP and wish to attend, please leave a message on the school phone 525 9200.

Rockville Museum open but not steamed up SUBMITTED BY DI-ANA WIN, MUSEUM ORGANISER/TREASURER

Rockville Museum will be open at the weekend, but it’s not quite business as usual, says the museum’s organiser and treasurer Di-ana Win. “It is with great sadness that we will not be able to have our usual Labour Weekend Steam Up, due to Level 2. However, we will have an open day on Sunday.”

Di-ana explains that all the rooms will be open to the public, and there will be “a few surprises”.

The museum is a source of constant work for the volunteers who maintain and improve the building and its exhibits. “We have spent this winter restoring and upgrading,” says Di-ana.

“Three rooms are now finished. The Inner Room is complete, with just some painting to do in the summer, and the Hospital Room is complete. The Library is almost done, and we are also working on the Horse Room, with Virginia Win restoring the tack and saddles.”

The restoration work frequently turns up some hidden treasures – such as The Lecture of the Pre-European History of Golden Bay by D’Arcy McPherson (1983). “What a read, says Di-ana. “In 12 pages it explains so much about the Māori tribes in the Bay, their way of life and habits and their relationships with some Pakeha. Some encounters with each other were rather brutal.”

The museum is selling copies of this piece of local history for $5.

Di-ana explains that keeping the museum running is very much a team effort. “I have worked hard with the trusted help and muscle power of my husband Shane Win, David Rhodes and Kevin Riley. My trusty sidekick, Kay Riley, has provided encouragement and advice. I can’t forget our steam, tractor and engine man, Daniel Gardiner, for his efforts in moving everything big, bulky and mean.”

She is also very grateful to local businesses, especially Take Note, Hammer Hardware, and Unlimited Copies.

With so much to do, Di-ana is keen to recruit additional

volunteers. “There is only a handful left now and we would like to encourage other people to help when they can,” says Diana who is clearly passionate about the museum. “Join the committee, hold a paint brush, clean, or bring muscle power and most important of all, a sense of humour. If you cannot help physically, call me and donate. We survive only on donations. This museum needs preservation.”

Rockville Museum Open Day is on Sunday 24 October, from 11am to 3pm. Masks must be worn inside the building by everyone aged 12 and over.

Pakawau Market

Open Day!!

Popping up at Pakawau this weekend, the annual flea market and monster garage sale is the ideal destination for the Bay’s bargain-hunters.

On Saturday and Sunday Pakawau Hall is hosting stalls selling everything from plants and produce, to books, furniture and bric-brac.

Organiser Jules Kelsall says gardeners will find plenty at the market to plant out this spring. “There’ll be avos and herbs as well as native trees.”

As visitors peruse the stalls and car boots, they will also be able to grab a feed with tea and biscuits, or something a bit more fancy. “Linda Olivier will be there selling her Dutch donuts,” says Jules.

The venue is a much-valued community asset, but in common with other halls around the Bay, it takes a fair bit of looking after. Jules explains that as part of a recent revamp, the old chairs are to be replaced with newer seating, and to raise the necessary funds, the outgoing furniture is being sold. “Some are in good condition,” says Jules. “We need about 100-120 new ones.”

Any potential traders looking to set up stall or open their car boot just need to speak to Jules and pay the daily $5 fee.

Jules says that the two days will offer a different mix of stalls, so treasure-seekers may been keen to visit on both days. “Some stall-holders who are coming on Saturday aren’t coming on Sunday, and some who are coming on Sunday aren’t coming on Saturday.”

Pakawau Hall, Sat 23 and Sun 24 October, 10am-1pm.

Tables and car boots $5. For more information and/or to make a booking phone or txt Jules 027/03 524 8202.

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.
