Grandstand stands alone

At 11.35am on Tuesday Corben Solly fired up his digger and extended the big bucket, which punched a large hole in the Rec Park’s old squash courts building. The simple act began the long-awaited demolition of the structure which has butted up against Golden Bay’s historic grandstand for decades. It also marked a major milestone in the reinstatement of the grandstand, now being revealed as the stand-alone building it was designed to be. As he watched the swinging digger bucket do its business, vice president of the A&P Association Noel Baigent was clearly happy with what he was witnessing. “This is a good day,” said Noel, whose great-grandfather was the Association’s president at the time of its first ever show and supplied timber for the original construction of the grandstand. Earlier in the morning, Noel addressed a group of around 20 people – including local councillors, Tasman District Council staff,

grandstand campaigners and members of the public – gathered in front of the grandstand. He highlighted pivotal moments in the community’s fight to save the grandstand, which he said started in February 2016 after he asked the Golden Bay Community Board why the structure had been slated for demolition. Over the past five-and-a-half years, campaigners have employed a wide variety of tactics, including setting up the Grand Stand Trust, organising public protest rallies, contesting legal battles, and establishing the Grandstand Restoration Society. “We’ve put up with a lot of stuff that should never have happened,” said Noel. He explained that the new councillors and staff who joined TDC in 2019 were instrumental in reversing the decision to remove the grandstand. “Thank you current councillors and CEO,” said Noel, before acknowledging other local supporters. “Thank you Grand Stand Trust and A&P colleagues and community.”

Before Corben was let loose on the squash courts, TDC’s project manager Joe Bywater and WSP consultants’ Shane Davies answered questions about the detailed reinstatement plans for the grandstand, while construction manager Brett Miller allowed the group to take a closer look at the building itself. “It’s a self-supporting structure; the thing is as solid as a rock,” said Brett. “But there are a few things to be sorted out.” Then came the main event. Once started, the demolition proceeded rapidly using a combination of brute strength and delicate precision. The toothed digger bucket ripped through walls and ceilings, before picking up roofing sheets and steel beams and placing them into separate neat piles, ready for removal and recycling. Two hours into the demolition and all that remained was a large, but tidy heap of rubble. One of the project’s key targets is to ensure the grandstand is useable for the... Continued on page 2

Three Waters mandate SUBMITTED

Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta announced on Wednesday that the Government would be mandating the Three Waters reform, meaning local councils will not be able to opt-out. Tasman Mayor Tim King said that the decision not to provide more time to work through the issues and options, but to mandate the reforms through legislation was disappointing. “It was perhaps inevitable given the Government’s case is built around all New Zealand’s three waters assets being included,” said Tim. While details around ownership, governance and local influence over future decision making, remain unclear, TDC understands that the Murchison area will be serviced as part Entity C along with the rest of the Tasman area. Tim acknowledged that the high level of correspondence and concerns received from residents and ratepayers reflected the scale and importance of the issue and that these concerns are unlikely to be resolved by today’s decision. Informed by the overall feedback, the Government will establish a working group, which will include expertise from across local government, water industry experts and iwi, to partner to refine outstanding elements of the reforms. Work will continue on governance and representation, the interface with the Resource Management Act, and transition for rural water supplies. Legislation is expected before Christmas. The Government has also scheduled ongoing communications and engagement, including public submissions and hearings, as part of the legislative process. TDC will be requesting that those opportunities to submit and be heard are provided to residents and ratepayers throughout the district. Tim said, with no opt-out available, it was important that Tasman’s needs were reflected in all discussions leading up to the implementation of the Three Waters reform and TDC would continue to engage in those processes wherever possible. “Given the Government’s decision to mandate the reforms, what is important for us right now is to get the best outcome for our residents and ratepayers under the new structure and to continue managing and maintaining our current three waters assets during the period of transition”. The reforms are due to be implemented in 2024.

The avocado is also known as an alligator pear. Native to southern Mexico, the avocado is fast becoming one of Golden Bay’s most sought-after tree crops to grow. Its popularity is due to its tasty nature, versatility, high oil content and ease of digestion. It also is highly nutritious, containing high levels of potassium and vitamin A, good amounts of iron, manganese, copper and magnesium, vitamins E, B and C, and antioxidants. With the changing climate and a little care, it is now possible to grow avocados in many parts of Golden Bay.

Classic fairytale with local flavour

Choco Loco Fridays only from 9.30am @ FixOnFriday The full cast of Alice in Blunderland, a classic fairytale with a distinctly New Zealand flavour, directed by Ronnie Short. Photo: Anita Peters. ANITA PETERS

“Quirky and a bit different, “is how Kidztheatre drama director Ronnie Short describes her latest production, Alice in Blunderland. Both of Ronnie’s rewrites of this classic fairytale have been set in the Bay. This version focuses on the western end of Golden Bay, complete with curiously identifiable signposts. While embracing the iconic “Wonderland” storyline, Ronnie has added a distinctly New Zealand flavour to the script. Characters like the dodo and the mouse are joined by some of our own native creatures. The smallest actors give endearing portrayals of piwakawaka, pūkeko and kiwi, plus other favourites like Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Most of the cast of 25, ranging in age from five to 13, are already well-seasoned drama students of Ronnie’s. Five girls in particular – Maggie, Poppy, Ruby, Lily and Zoe – all sing as well, accompanied by pre-recorded piano and guitar. Maggie, who plays the Cheshire cat, says she loves being the goofy joker. “Ronnie’s such a great drama teacher; she makes sure she gives us roles that suit us.” Poppy plays the bigger of the two Alices in this production, both of whom are remarkable look-alikes. “Being Alice is “pretty

cool,” she says. With such a large cast and wide age range, this is an ambitious production. “Because the kids love their parts, they play them well,” says Ronnie. “There is a delightful array of characters.” Notwithstanding Ronnie’s clever script rewrite, the show oozes talent, wildly creative costumery and tongue-in-cheek local humour. It will appeal to all ages. As usual, Ronnie’s partner and sound operator Dave McKay and lighting technician Elaine Crombie are on the job. Backstage, a reliable group of parents has always helped with costumes and stage handing, some for years. Due to the Alert Level 2 audience restriction of 50, an extra show has been added. Masks and signing in are advised on entry in accordance with government regulations. Social distancing between bubbles will be observed in the auditorium and refreshments can be purchased upon entry. There will be no intermission. Playhouse Theatre, Park Avenue, Tākaka. Friday 29 and Saturday 30 October, 7pm; matinee Sunday 31 October, 2pm. Tickets at Take Note, adults $12, children $10 .

Compliments to Collingwood Camp

We wish to speak on behalf of us “long time“ whitebaiters who have been coming to Collingwood motor camp for many years. Tasman District Council needs to be congratulated and thanked for appointing such a lovely family to host and manage this camp. They are very hard working, conscientious, so caring, thoughtful and friendly. Well done. Jacinta (Jax) and Grant Jukes – we really appreciate you. Now, with the completion of the second bathroom block upgrade, the camp is very comfortable and desirable, and in such a beautiful location, Golden Bay. It is a great asset to this community. We will keep coming back for sure as “happy campers”. Joy and Allan Milligan

Keeping Covid at bay in the Bay

Last Friday I submitted a letter saying that if foot and mouth were to appear in North Island the Cook Straight would be closed to air and ferry traffic to protect the dairy, lamb and beef industries in the South Island. All forecasts have predicted that Covid will get here one day. I went on to say that what ever the other wards do in our Tasman District we in Golden Bay should do our best to keep it out. We are in the box seat with a one-way no-exit road. I went on to say, have our two councillors given any thought to a plan of action to keep it out of Golden Bay and debate in Council the options to keep us safe? Having submitted this letter on Friday, lo and behold on following day’s news, Covid is in Blenheim. Hence a re-write. The TV news on 24 October told us Takaka has one of the lowest vaccination rates in South Island districts. If we want to protect our backyard should we put a “control centre“, manned by our ratepayers, at Riwaka? We could keep Covid out of Golden Bay forever if we try. Reg Turner

Healing properties are crystal clear RONNIE SHORT

On Wednesday 3 November, Britta Spoentjes is launching her new business, The Crystal Clinic, at the Health Centre in Motupipi Street, Tākaka. Britta, a graduate of the globally accredited Evolve Healing Institute in Australia, says crystal therapy is the practice of using crystals to bring about healing and to enhance wellness. Practitioners work on a person’s energetic body by placing crystals on the body at specific energy points known as chakras. Using gentle hand placement, the therapist directs the energy of the crystals. “The strong and constant vibration of the stone can draw the weakened or erratic vibration of the energetic body into its own steady rhythm, helping to rectify any vibrational imbalance in the person’s body. This helps to bring balance and healing on all levels.” Besides having Applied Crystal Healing and Reiki certification, Britta has also worked as a kundalini yoga instructor. This combination of modalities means she understands the importance of balancing the physical, emotional and energetic levels in the body. “Everything is interrelated,” says Britta. “We are not just physical bodies; we are energetic bodies as well. If we create balance we can feel centred and at peace.” Britta says that specific health issues – such as those caused by trauma, accident or abuse – resulting in anxiety or depression are treatable. “Crystals help to remove trauma out of the energetic body.” She explained that quartz crystals are considered the master healers, being those with the highest frequency and says they can actually move molecules. Clear quartz, when squeezed, generates a tiny, measurable, electric current. This is known as piezoelectric technology, which uses crystals to convert mechanical energy into electricity or vice-versa. This is used in many industries, including sound detection and inkjet printing. “Think of an LED screen,” says Britta. Clients select the crystal they feel drawn to, which is often exactly what is needed. Britta doesn’t manipulate the physical body, but places the crystals over the chakras. She then passes her hand over the top to sense hot or cold areas. These indicate where the work lies. At times she will select specific crystals

NEED A VEHICLE BROUGHT OVER? Hello Golden Bay, As we continue with the pestilence that is Level 2, we are not yet heading to the Bay to bring vehicles for display, however we are still able to bring specific vehicles over if you would like to test drive them. As I say, any excuse to get out of the office and over into paradise. We now have a massive selection of hybrid vehicles, which now include freshly imported CHR hybrids that are basically the same spec as their NZ counterparts. If you would like to see any of our vehicles, including new demonstrators, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Until next time, cheers

In response to these times of uncertainty and change, Bay Yoga Education Trust is running subsidised courses. Recent funding from the Rata Foundation and The Lottery Grants Board has provided an opportunity to build a stronger network within the Golden Bay community. Collaborating with organisations such as Te Whare Mahana, Mohua Social Services and GB Community Health, Bay Yoga can support the community’s needs. This initiative caters to individuals with mental health issues, the elderly, and teens. Specific programmes will provide yogic tools and techniques that can be integrated into day-to-day life. With ongoing courses throughout next year, weekly classes will benefit many.

Debora O’Callaghan, Manager and Trustee of Bay Yoga says, “It’s fantastic news and a great opportunity for our community. We have this project fully funded. I’ll be teaching Yoga for Mental & Emotional Wellbeing, Shelia Kennard is instructing Yoga for Golden Age, and Jola Siezen and I supporting GBHS teens with Acro Yoga. We want to open discussion on where the funding could best be spent, meeting our community’s needs.” Debora says that the Trust’s goals are to reduce stress and anxiety, support the elderly with improved quality of life, and help students with developing social skills, healthy boundaries while strengthening focus. If Covid restrictions alter levels, “‘Golden Age Yoga” and “Yoga for Mental and Emotional Wellbeing” will be available online.

DOWN TO EARTH: A productive spring garden SOL MORGAN, GROWISE CONSULTANCY

How do we keep a handle on all the tasks required to manage a productive spring garden? Writing these monthly articles helps me stay on track. I also manage my garden(s) by reviewing last year’s notes, tuning into the current season and working around other commitments – along with sheer luck. In the vegetable patch, I refer to my garden plans (springsummer and autumn-winter) and calendar to time sowings and plantings. Ideally, I record these in the calendar for future reference. I propagate most plants myself in the greenhouse and harden them off outside before planting. I try to combine as many crops together as possible to fill up a bed to minimise areas for weeds to grow. This increases biodiversity, both in the soil and above ground, creating a more balanced garden ecosystem. To time ongoing successions I again refer to the calendar to select the best moon phase: ascending for sowing and descending for planting. Some crops, like melons and capsicums, need extra care in their bed preparation. Both are heavy feeders so get plentiful compost and a black plastic soil cover to improve warmth and plant growth. Install leaky hose or strip irrigation under the plastic before planting for easy watering. Cloching with Mikroclima cloth and Redpath hoops also aids warming and growth and protects from frost too. Netting minimises white butterfly invasion in spring brassicas and bird damage on crops like spinach beet. As the season warms, cloches are opened during the day and replaced overnight. As summer progresses, cloches are removed entirely. Once crops are establishing, I start regular liquid feeding, either with fish, manure, weed or seaweed brews. This gives plants an extra boost. Take care to avoid splashing the leaves of cucurbits and Solanaceae crops (pumpkin and tomato respectively). The same goes for watering, which I do in the mornings as needed. I check the soil with my finger first as the surface can be dry with moisture underneath. Overwatering is a common cause of root disease. Mulching with seagrass, grass clippings or hay, especially on potatoes, helps conserve soil moisture. Mulching also keeps soil organisms – the engine house of the growing system – fed and active. Some vegetables, like cucumbers and beans, like to climb.

I use either 665 builder’s mesh or bamboo with some lateral branches left for plants to grab. In the orchard, spring is time for fruit thinning. Less is more when it comes to fruit, and if you don’t thin, the tree will likely abort many later in the season. Thin pipfruit to twos and one on the end. With stonefruit, I remove at least 50 per cent. Foliar sprays with seaweed are a great tonic to maintain tree health. Pipfruit benefits from pheromone traps and Madex 2 to tackle codlin moth infestations. A diversity of understorey plants and other flowering shrubs and natives create habitats for the beneficial insects and birds that minimise so-called pests.

SOL’S GARDEN JOBS FOR NOVEMBER Vegetable care Plant kūmara into raised, fertile beds. Keep sowing/planting salads, roots etc for continuous supply. Deter soil pests like cutworms with light tilling.

Kids… it’s cool to get together and have fun, just don’t do dumb stuff or you will find your access to these places withdrawn. • A longstanding civil dispute over tenancy in which Police were frequently called upon to intervene was resolved in the tenancy tribunal. Common sense prevails once again.

Step up. • 23 October: A 60-year-old local male was warned for attempting to pervert the course of justice after lying to

Police. • A 49-year-old local female has been charged with driving whilst disqualified and failing to stop and ascertain injury after causing the motor vehicle crash reported 10 October. • Once again, large numbers of motorbike enthusiasts congregated and camped over the long weekend at Turamawiwi. Appealing to them to self-police and do the right thing seems to have fallen on deaf ears. It seems obvious; they should limit their riding to daylight hours and not consume alcohol until the evenings if they are riding bikes or driving motor vehicles. Instead it was the usual carnage with people zooming around all night, all over the place. The rescue helicopter was called to a broken arm at 9.30pm on 23/10, then emergency services were called at 1.45am for a male reported missing having not returned from a ride, then the chopper was called again at 6.30am 24/10 for another rider who had broken his hip. He was unable to be picked up due to the low cloud base so Police and ambulance were dispatched. Fortunately for him the Greymouth rescue helicopter managed to fly up the coast and extract him to Greymouth hospital. 80 tents were counted out there. This has to stop before someone is killed. • 25 October: A 65-year-old local male was charged with injuring with intent and assault following a domestic incident on 18 October. He appeared in the Nelson District Court 26 October. • 26 October: A 56-year-old local male was spoken to about intimidating behaviour.

Review: The Rose Maker

ALISTAIR HUGHES

The Rose Maker is a gentle French comedy set largely in the stunningly beautiful northern region of France. Eve Vernet (Catherine Frot), is a hugely accomplished rose grower who is now struggling to keep her family business alive in the face of competition from large corporations. While her chief rival, the oily Lamarzelle (Vincent Dedienne), continues to eclipse her past successes with technology and vast resources, Eve is determined to continue her deceased father’s legacy in the passionate tradition he originally established. However, reality is biting, and as debts mount up and orders are cancelled, Eve’s assistant Vera (Olivia Cote) takes matters into her own hands. Three work-experience employees soon arrive: the belligerent Samir, quiet and timid Nadege and surly ex-con Fred. They are hardly the assistance the exacting Eve would have wished for but, with little choice, she reluctantly begins training them, losing an entire greenhouse of roses when Nadege well-meaningly leaves a heater on. Eve’s less-than-patient tutelage still conveys an enlightening glimpse into rose growing’s fusion of science and beauty. As her dwindling finances force her to choose closure rather than allowing Lamarzelle to take over her business, a last desperate opportunity for salvation unexpectedly presents itself. The Rose Maker takes an unexpected turn into heist movie territory as Eve decides to utilise her new resources. Enlisting burglary expert Fred, they break into Lamarzelle’s factory to “borrow” an extremely rare variety that will allow Eve to breed a guaranteed prizewinner. The robbery, however, doesn’t go entirely to plan, and when the illiterate Fred is forced to literally “follow his nose” he reveals an unexpected talent. As is usually the case with comedies that rely on subtle wit rather than belly laughs, the secret is in the creation of characters who the audience will want to follow, despite the quirks and rough edges which come with them. Catherine Frot’s portrayal of the single-minded Eve is perfectly judged. The character’s absolute dedication to her craft and family traditions might easily come across as unlikeable elitism and arrogance in less skilful hands, but instead she quickly wins our sympathy. The long-suffering Vera is an unexpected pillar of strength, gradually revealing that she might very well be the true foundation the family business is built upon. Even Lamarzelle is difficult to dislike entirely. His only motivation might be greed, but he does chose to use charm rather than bully to get his way, which he very nearly does as the film’s events escalate. However, the true heart of the film lies with the three work experience “helpers”. Fred is given the most to do, and like Eve is by no means instantly likeable. The criminal who gains a second chance when others recognise an unexpected and rare talent echoes Ken Loach’s 2012 film The Angel’s Share, about the esotericism of the Scottish whisky industry. Samir is our perpetually bemused straight man, his thankless role being to react to the eccentricities of those around him. And finally, the petite and timid Nadege possibly has the film’s funniest scene. When she finally gives loud and profane voice to her own long-suppressed passions, everyone else is stunned into rare silence. An unexpected connection for Kiwi audiences can also be glimpsed as Eve frantically searches for locations where the extremely rare rose exists. Only two places in the world, apparently: a suburb of Paris and in a distant country called New Zealand. This film about the appreciation of beauty is – appropriately – gorgeously photographed, whether it is the stunning scenery surrounding Eve’s family estate or the sumptuous interior of her home. Although we can only imagine the many fragrances described throughout, The Rose Maker is still a treat for the senses. THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 29 OCTOBER 2021

Bay Art and Young@Art 2021 showcases ANITA PETERS AND JO RICHARDS

This year’s Bay Art exhibition, once again, reflects the breadth and depth of Golden Bay’s talent. Currently on show at the high school hall, exhibits range from small, intricate paintings and delicate ceramics, to large canvasses and digital prints, and even include an “monster” three-dimensional installation. Due to Covid restrictions, last Friday’s Grand Opening was held as a virtual event, with a video published on the Community Arts Council’s Facebook page. In her introductory address, which was also a valedictory speech, Deborah Rhodes spoke about her three-year term as chair of Golden Bay Arts Council which had now come to end. As well as acknowledging the support of the community, the work of the committee and the contribution made by Arts Council worker Tania Marsden, Deborah said how important it was to nurture young artists. “We must remember that the future keeps giving when we keep investing.” Appearing on screen after Deborah’s speech, the judges – David James, Simon Hunter and Emma Glintmeyer – introduced themselves before presenting the award-winning entries in each of the seven categories: 2D; 3D; 3D miniature; digital; fibre; youth; and photography. The supreme award was then bestowed on a painting by Pauline Watts. The following morning, shortly after the show opened to the public, Tania was in the school hall and clearly excited about the exhibition. Standing next to a shop dummy dressed in a little black dress created from knitted video tape, Tania explained why the Arts Council committee had decided on an online opening event. “We all felt it was appropriate to take a step back and respect the school’s protocols.” After conducting a guided tour of the exhibition, pointing out all the category winners and the highly commended entries, Tania said it was now the public’s turn to select a winner. “Visitors can vote for the People’s Choice award which will be announced at 4pm on Sunday 31 October.”

“A vibrant, talent-filled show of really high calibre,” is how artist and co-ordinator Sarah Thomas describes this year’s Young@Art exhibition. The 49 entries, created by students from five to 17 years of age from all our local schools, are displayed onstage at Golden Bay High School. They include a mix of media: 2D and 3D, fibre, ceramic, papier-mâché, needle felting and decorated stone. While officially not eligible to enter, Early Childhood Centres were invited by Sarah to also display work. “They are the entries of the future, “she says. At least 15 “brave pieces” are for sale. As in previous years, the public can vote for their favourite works, which will then be displayed at the Takaka Library after the exhibition closes. Sarah wishes to thank Mariposa, which sponsored generous prizes for every entrant; and Trash Palace, who financed the certificates. Beryl Hughes gave administrative and intake assistance and Aralyn Doiron helped curate and hang the show. A panel of art lovers – Kath Craw, Margy Meys and two high school students Alice Ogle and Zoe Cain – “pored over every work” to provide valuable written feedback. Sarah read this to each entrant as she presented their certificates. Once again, the Golden Bay Arts Council has accommodated the children’s efforts in their own separate exhibition. “It’s fantastic that Young@Art is able to run alongside the Bay Art exhibition,” said Sarah. “It shows each what the other is doing; it’s a pathway of creativity.” Bay Art and Young@Art is at Golden Bay High School Hall until Sunday 31 October. Open daily 10am-4pm, koha entry. To watch the Grand Opening video, go to: https://www. facebook.com/gbcacnz/videos/4383587458428825 Bay Art prizewinners: 2D Artwork, Bass Strait by Pauline Watts; 3D Miniature, Hot Rod Rebot by David Hoogdiun; Digital Art, GE-U3 by Lizzie Eggers; Fibre Art, Light Walker 202 by Christine Jacob; 3D Artwork, Untitled by Rosa Silverfish; Youth, Family Food Tree by Ina Rosa Weiss; Photography, This is Where it Ends by Rob Dawson; Supreme Award, Bass Strait, by Pauline Watts.

breadth and depth of Golden Bay’s talent JO RICHARDS

A dog, two photos and a cut-price canvas conspired to create the winning piece in this year’s Bay Art. Bass Strait, an acrylic-oncanvas work by Collingwood artist Pauline Watts, scooped the supreme award on Friday afternoon. The title has nothing to do with the treacherous channel dividing Tasmania and mainland Australia, but refers to a tranquil spot found on the Bass Strait footpath in nearby Milnthorpe Park. And this is where the dog and the camera come into the story. “We’ve got a dog and go for a walk in Milnthorpe most days,” says Pauline. Around four years ago, on such a walk, she took a snap of a particularly photogenic spot in the forest, where dappled light reflected off still water, because, she says, “it was just unusual”. The photo lit the fuse on a slow-burning idea to recreate

the green scene on canvas. “I’ve had it in my mind to do it for the last few years,” says Pauline, who was finally spurred into action following a recent walk in the park. “I took another photo at the same spot, and the sun and the water looked just the same, and I thought, ‘it’s got to be done’.” The clincher, she explains, was a special offer

on artists’ materials. “Take Note Takaka were selling large, cheap canvasses, so that helped.” The finished article is on display at Bay Art until this Sunday, and admirers will be pleased to learn that several similar works may soon emerge from Pauline’s studio. “I’ve got some others up my sleeve,” says the prizewinning Bass Strait, received the top award at Bay Art.

Gardening course goes beyond organics

NEWS IN BRIEF

ROSA VOLZ

Pākawau Market

ANITA PETERS

Kayla’s Pet Zone drummed up a roaring trade in $2 a-pop bunny cuddles at the annual flea-market/monster garage sale at the Pākawau Hall over Labour Weekend.

“A fair exchange of labour versus knowledge” is how Elliot Cleland describes the new Beyond Organics course at the Golden Bay Sustainable Living Centre and Community Gardens (SLC). Elliot is the gardens manager and he has created a curriculum to teach participants about organic growing and to introduce them to regenerative horticulture. The 16-week course (held for six hours every Monday) “is based on the ‘Farmhands Programme’ run at Auckland’s Kelmarna Gardens, the only difference being we do not have animals in the mix.” Participants provide their labour in the mornings in exchange for lessons in the afternoon. Last Monday, The GB Weekly received a warm welcome at the gardens. Arriving at lunchtime, I was invited to participate in the homegrown and prepared feast. “For our lunchtime blessing, we hold hands, breathe in gratitude and breathe out ‘yummmmmm’,” says Elliot. Four weeks in, 16 local participants are clearly enjoying the process. “We were living here and thought this looks awesome,” says software developer and new local Pete Jacobson. “We have done growing and permaculture before, and it’s a great chance to see what is growing here and get to know this place [SLC]. We started by helping out with the shop. It’s a nice way to contribute and to learn from the land here.” Other participants share Pete’s sentiment, with common themes being newcomers to the community and wishing to contribute, develop resilience and to meet like-minded people. Frank McCall “100 per cent” recommends doing the course. “It’s lovely to be outside working with my hands in a beautiful place. I am learning useful stuff for my home garden… the course covers the whole gamut.” Through a combination of training sessions and hands-on working, the participants are learning regenerative organic food growing skills, and gaining experience suitable for application to anything from productive home growing to

small-scale market gardening or farming. The course covers a very broad spectrum, including such topics as soil health and biology, garden planning and design, propagation, planting and crop protection, composting and work farming, fruit tree care, harvest and preparation, mushrooms, biodynamics at home and (importantly) preparing shared lunch from the gardens. Elliot is already planning to hold the next programme in February 2022. The course is for anyone who is keen to fast track their learning about regenerative organic food-growing techniques, and happy to make some commitment in return.

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.

Forging ahead in Hell’s Kitchen ROSA VOLZ

Hell’s Kitchen may be best known as a reality TV show – but the phrase was first adopted locally by Ōnekakā couple Pat Baker and Tatiana Von Kastan, who used it to describe their blacksmithing business. “At the time our forge was located in our kitchen, and it was hot as hell.” So the name stuck. Blacksmithing, also known as forging, is the art of using heat and pressure to shape metal. The forge is the name of the furnace or hearth, and the blacksmith is the person shaping the metal. “The steel is shaped, not melted; that happens at a foundry,” says Pat. The couple met in Amsterdam 25 years ago, returning to live in the Bay in 2002. Hell’s Kitchen Forges is based at Pat’s home in a tranquil bush setting, on a hill above the Onekaka reserve. It houses four forges, tools and large quantities of scrap metal. Their craft has evolved over their 15 years of operation. Tatiana and Pat are completely self-taught and have built e ve r y t h i n g – i n c l u d i n g three of the four forges – themselves. “We have learned a lot by reading books and, more recently, by watching YouTube videos,” says Pat. Twice winners of Bay Art’s 3D category, Pat and Tatiana design and manufacture original, traditionally forged commission work. “We create anything: tools, functional sculptures, furniture, jewellery and bondage gear.” Previous sponsors of the NZ Fetish Ball (based in Christchurch and Auckland), the couple are adept at designing and creating fetish gear. “I like doing bondage gear. I like doing spikes and punk pieces,” says Tatiana. To date, their bondage pieces have

Our national earthquake drill The New Zealand Shakeout, our national earthquake drill, took place earlier this week. The Shakeout is a great prompt for everyone to look at how prepared they are for a crisis and make sure we are as ready as we can be when a natural disaster occurs. As an essential service, Network Tasman has a comprehensive plan to ensure:

attracted national – and one or two local – customers. They create their works by repurposing locally sourced scrap metal when possible. “Our philosophy is recycled, upcycled, DIY and sustainability,” says Tatiana. “We transform scrap metal into art.” On the day The GB Weekly visited, they had just completed a functional sculpture—a garden bench seat. Recycled leaf springs from an old truck suspension formed the metal structure and arm rests, and the slats were locally grown and harvested eucalyptus. The bench will form part of a future local landscape collaboration.

Pat and Tatiana offer blacksmithing lessons for interested parties and have run workshops at the Living Wood Fair. Pat says the attendees are often young people. “If they are boys, they typically want to make a sword. I usually have to talk them into starting with a knife.”They also attract adults wishing to make their own tools. Pat doesn’t have a favourite piece. “I love working on a new idea. I start making it, and by the time I have finished I am really ready to let it go.” Tatiana enjoys her own jewellery, which she designs and Pat forges. “What woman does not want jewellery custom made by her husband?”

The little pied shag, Māori name kawaupaka, is often seen perched on a rock or tree, warming up and drying its outstretched wings. Compared to other seabirds, shags have less fat to keep them warm. Their feathers are less oily than other seabirds and can become partially waterlogged. With less fat and less oil, they can dive better and swim faster to catch prey. The little pied shag is difficult to identify, with the most confusing variety of plumage of any New Zealand shag. Adults can have just a white throat and cheeks or have completely white underparts, while juveniles can be all black. Size and shape are the key to identification. They are a small bird with a stubby yellow bill and a long tail. Members of the shag family belong to three groups based on the colour of their feet: black, yellow or pink. The little pied shag has black legs and black feet. At home in both freshwater and coastal environments, the little pied shag eats small fish, eels, crustaceans, frogs, tadpoles and insects. On the shoreline, in lakes, rivers and streams, they capture their prey by chasing it underwater, propelling themselves forward with powerful webbed feet. Although agile in the water, like penguins, they are awkward on land. Generally solitary feeders, I have seen them feeding in flocks at Rangihaeata and near the old wharf at Collingwood, their heads erect and watchful like small periscopes. Little pied shags tend to eat close to shore in shallow waters. One-third of the world’s 36 species of shags are found in New Zealand and five of those are found here in Golden Bay. Outside of New Zealand shags are known as cormorants.

Tom Lake began his new role as community recreational programmer at the Golden Bay Recreation Centre in August. Organising the recent school holiday programme, which took place in the second week of October, was top of his list. Working with the two new facilitators, Christina Topliss and Sascha Gagnon, Tom said that together they could offer more activities. All three are police-checked, first-aid certified, and between them have oodles of experience. Sascha has a background in after-school programming and has done a lot of summer camp work overseas. He brings high-energy activities and “can pull out games from nothing,” says Tom. Christina has worked with children in after-school programmes and as a nanny for over 30 years. Her speciality is arts and crafts, providing a balance to cater for children who prefer creative pursuits. Both activity and craft sessions took place simultaneously. Funding comes from Tasman District Council, the Community Organisation Grants Scheme, Lottery and other small grants, and helps to offset costs for parents. The daily fee was $30 per child and $25 per additional sibling. Up to 28 children attended on some days, and Tom hopes

the numbers will continue to increase as they make changes. Tom has experience from all over the world, working with children on summer holiday camps and in special education, teaching everything from tie-dyed T-shirt-making to 30-day dog-sled expeditions. “I have had all kinds of ages on all kinds of expeditions, from sea to mountain,” said Tom. In his own time, he enjoys tramping, rock-climbing and sailing, and is currently volunteering at the Pōhara Sailing Club. During term time, Tom runs a Youth Badminton club for 1218 year olds on Thursdays from 3.30-6pm. “It’s really casual – it’s more about having a good time and getting kids active. The wellbeing and self-confidence that comes from that is huge.” Tom has council funding to undertake a cycling instructor course to enable him to deliver cycling proficiency and road safety courses for the Golden Bay community in 2022. Looking into the future, the Rec Centre has plenty coming up, such as pay-to-play sessions during the daytime for adults. Badminton and pickleball are on offer, with all equipment provided, plus the use of the squash courts, with equipment available for hire.
