Cafes spring back to life

JO RICHARDS

On the first day of spring, cafes across Golden Bay emerged from enforced latewinter hibernation as restrictions relaxed under Alert Level 3.

Takaka’s Wholemeal Cafe got its espresso machine cranking early on Wednesday morning and was pouring take-away coffees from 7.30am. Front-of-house manager Jenny Thompson says the day got off to a good start.

“So far it’s been good; it’s been really busy with tradies, and it’s lovely to see the customers.”

Customer Rubens Davies sticks to the new rules while ordering scones and croissants from the cafe’s ice-cream counter. Wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance, Rubens payWaves before walking to the side of the building to collect his take-away.

A short hop from the Wholemeal, Geraldine Wee is open for business at the Courtyard Cafe.

“I thought I’d give it a go,” says Geraldine, who has enjoyed steady business. “I’ve seen a few people – my regulars and a few new people.”

Geraldine says she has learnt from last year’s experience. “This time, I’m more prepared,” says Geraldine. “I know what I’m doing.”

Goodness2Go owner Cheryl Elsey is also

giving it a go with her distinctive mobile coffee cart. “I’m heading off around town to various work places,” says Cheryl who is also offering hot food on the go. “We’re doing our mini meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”

Just about to open the doors at Take Note, manager Kim Moir is looking forward to welcoming customers to the store. “We’re here because we want to help,” says Kim, who explains that “click and collect” and the parcel service are up and running. “People can send parcels in a pre-paid bag; we have pre-paid bags and stamps here.”

Wary of the Delta variant, Kim has instigated strict protocols for customers. “We’re allowing one person at a time into the store, and it’s no mask, no entry,” says Kim. At Hammer Hardware staff are ready to sell almost a full range of products, but coowner Tarnae Palmer urges customers to pre-purchase for subsequent collection. “We encourage people to order.”

In Collingwood, the Stay Awake Cafe has woken from its two-week slumber, just like the nearby Courthouse Cafe, where Clare O’Neil has been serving customers since 9am. “We’ve had lots of regulars, lots of locals,” says Clare.

“Everyone misses their coffee.”

Although some semblance of normality has returned to life in the Bay, restrictions remain in place and some people are struggling to cope.

Emergency Management Golden Bay local controller Sara Chapman says the primary focus is on the isolated and/or vulnerable.

“Mohua Social Ser vices are accepting monetary donations to enable them to keep the community food bank stocked. If anyone needs food, please phone 525 9728.”

One of the routes out of recurrent lockdown is through vaccination, and the rollout continues apace. Figures from Nelson Marlborough District Health Board show that, as of 31 August, 2,737 jabs have been given in the Bay, including 928 second doses.

Golden Bay Community Health (GBCH) reports high demand for vaccination. “679 people are booked for our next clinic which is our largest clinic so far,” says Ruth Robson.

“Anyone aged 12 years and over is eligible for Covid-19 vaccination now.”

While at Level 3, GBCH is offering virtual consultations. “We want people to continue to use this service, so people with concerns can be assessed, says Ruth.

Rules for Alert Level 3 JO RICHARDS

At midnight on Tuesday all points south of Auckland exited Alert Level 4 and moved to Alert Level 3. Following the Government’s announcement on Monday afternoon, business owners and selected staff were allowed to enter premises in order to make preparations for safe operations and to enable cleaning and movement of equipment prior to the change in alert status.

Business sectors including construction, forestry, manufacturing and retail are now legally able to operate. For others in the hospitality sector, such as hotels, cafes and restaurants, restrictions continue to apply, but takeaways are allowed provided guidelines are strictly followed. Public venues including libraries, museums, cinemas, food courts, gyms, pools, playgrounds and markets remain closed.

While many are expected to return to employment, people should continue to work from home wherever possible.

Schools are also able to open, but have limited capacity, and students should continue to be educated at home if possible.

Any business that reopens under Alert Level 3 needs to implement strict procedures to ensure hygiene protocols are observed. Generally, the key word in retail is “contactless”, which typically involves online/telephone orders for safe delivery or collection. All work places and businesses must continue to display a NZ Covid tracer QR code, and all workers, visitors and customers should scan/sign in.

The rules around business may be easing, but those governing personal interactions, remain little changed; masks must be worn on public transport, and when visiting businesses, services, healthcare facilities or public agencies. Everyone is urged to remain in their existing bubbles, but those bubbles can expand to allow reconnection with close family, to bring in caregivers, or support isolated people. Any extended bubble should remain exclusive.

Travel between regions is still not allowed at Alert Level 3.

Although swimming, surfing, and fishing – including whitebaiting – from the shore are allowed, team sports and dangerous activities are banned.

Public gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed but only for wedding services, funerals and tangihanga. Volunteer work, such as checking trap lines, can resume, but must be carried out close to home and not in large groups.

Schools adapt to lockdown learning JO RICHARDS

Golden Bay’s five schools, closed since Alert Level 4 came into effect on Wednesday 18 August, can reopen at Alert Level 3 – but only to a very minor degree. Teaching staff are therefore continuing to support the vast majority of students with online learning.

For senior students the lockdown has already caused significant disruption to exam preparations. Consequently NZQA has delayed end of year NCEA exams by two weeks.

The GB Weekly caught up with the Bay’s principals this week to find out how staff and students were faring under Level 4 and how things will change under Alert Level 3.

Principals’ feedback reveals unanimous recognition that last year’s lockdown experience helped schools to deliver distance learning support this time around. As a result, all schools report high levels of student engagement, although in some cases challenges remain.

Golden Bay High School Based on feedback from parents and students, principal Linda Tame says the latest bout of online learning is proceeding well. “Overall we’re reasonably pleased how it’s going.”

Although all students have their own device or school Chromebook, Linda explains that some struggle with distance learning. “Personal circumstances can be a challenge. The internet isn’t great for some.”

To help overcome practical challenges the school is set up to deliver what’s needed. “If we know they’re struggling we can drop off kai and top-up phonecards.”

For those encountering difficulties, Linda says the most important thing is to ask for help. “Let us know if there is a problem, because we can’t solve it unless we know about it.”

A casualty of lockdown, NCEA practice exams, due to be held last week, have been postponed until the alert status drops to Level 2. “We’ll have them when we go back, but we don’t know exactly when this will be so it’s stressful for the kids,” says Linda.

But school is not all about study. “They really miss the socialising, so they want to be together with their friends,” says Linda. “It’s disappointing that we’ve had to cancel two sport tournaments, and the year nine camp. A lot of fun things have been cancelled, so we need to make up for that later in the year.”

The move to Alert Level 3 will see the school remain essentially closed. “We’ll have a small bubble of students; there’s only four at this stage.”

Collingwood Area School At CAS, acting principal Alison Menary says her students appear to be happy working at home. “The distance learning is going really well.”

However, the sudden nature of the lockdown meant that some students were left lacking vital resources. “We’ve had to deliver a few Chromebooks and art boards,” says Alison.

The system seems to be working smoothly. “From year six up, students are using Google Classroom, teachers are setting work and students are meeting daily on Zoom,” says Alison who believes their prior experience of lockdown, and familiarity with the online software, have been of enormous benefit. “What we did last time really helped us to move into it quickly. And the students are using Google Classroom now anyway, so most are used to that method.”

While the majority of students are switched on to virtual learning, a small number are struggling, explains Alison. “We’ve had high engagement, but there are a few who haven’t, so we are trying to make sure they keep in touch.”

The junior students are also highly engaged. “The younger ones are using Seesaw [educational software] to stay connected, and they’ve been delivered parcels of learning resources such as books and worksheets.”

Looking forward, Alison says all CAS students will probably remain at home until the alert status moves to Level 2. “We’re hoping that we may be able to open next week.”

Takaka Primary School Acting principal Katie Lavers says staff have been working

GB COMMUNITY HEALTH AT LEVEL 3 At Alert Level 3, we are offering virtual consultations by phone or video.

Please continue to use this service, so your health professional can assess your concern. They may be able to manage it without the need to see you in-person or alternatively, and once assessed, you may be given a time to come in to be seen in person.

We have appointments available and our Urgent Care service is operational for emergencies.

Everyone entering the general practice area for treatment is asked some screening questions before entering.

closely with whanau and students to ensure a smooth transition to online learning, albeit after a tricky start. “This time, as there was not much notice given as we went into lockdown, some students were left without devices. Once we were given the go ahead from the Ministry, we were able to arrange contactless delivery of Chromebooks by that weekend.

“As pupils complete many of their drills and skills for reading, spelling and basic facts, for example, online when they are at school, and our students are really adept at using the technology, it was a fairly seamless switch moving into Level 4.

“Teachers are organising regular Zoom catch ups, and there is a daily story time Zoom. As we move into Alert Level 3, we have some students who will be coming to school to learn. They will continue the work set by their class teachers, but supervised in a bubble at school. We are currently working closely and communicating with our families around this at the moment.

“A big plus has been the excellent communication, and sense of team work with our fantastic staff, and with our community, showing that with collaboration and agility, we can navigate these uncertain times. He waka eke noa.”

Motupipi Primary School Motupipi’s principal Lisa Malones says the school would be welcoming some students back to school as soon as they are allowed. “We will be operating a bubble for children of essential workers beginning on Wednesday morning. We will be adhering to strict safety measures and will have additional cleaning procedures in place, as well as students remaining in specific areas of the school.

“We are fortunate to have staff who are eager to return to school so those who show up on Wednesday will be very well catered for. At the moment, we have six students confirmed but we do expect this number to grow.

“We will continue to run both online and ‘hard pack’ programmes for the remainder of our students. This has proven to be particularly successful this time around, with over 95 per cent engagement on Zoom sessions, and with whanau sharing additional learning with us on a daily basis that their children are creating of their own accord; check out our Facebook page.”

Central Takaka School Things are “ticking along nicely”, according to acting principal Stuart McDonald. “We’ve been through it all before so we were ready. Last year we were feeling our way.”

When the latest lockdown hit, the school moved quickly to distribute the necessary resources to its students to enable them to study at home. “We call it distance learning, which is a combination of online and hard material,” says Stuart.

The school’s low head count makes returning to the classroom at Alert Level 3 or 2 relatively simple. “It’s a straightforward process for us as a small school,” explains Stuart who is happy to see restrictions being eased. “We’re ready and spirits are good.”

Our doors are locked to protect our Aged Care residents and NO visitors are allowed in the Aged Care/Hospital area except on specific compassionate grounds and in agreement with the Nurse Manager.

LE T TERS Three Waters: the need for constructive debate

Grey Matters SUBMITTED BY MIKE DELCEG, PRESIDENT GB GREY POWER

With Covid rearing its head again many Grey Power associations have polled their members to see if anyone is in need of extra support. Here, Civil Defence among others has stepped up, but if you are aware of such a situation, please contact us or one of the other volunteer groups.

Our national AGM was held in Nelson in July. One issue discussed at length was whether individual remits such as nitrate pollution in waterways were fit for consideration.

While this is certainly a serious environmental consideration, its direct relevance to seniors is limited to the adverse health effects of high nitrate levels in drinking water. This remit passed, but only after some discussion.

Our association, with zone support, saw a remit pass that would advocate for a review of the threshold for rate rebates every second year. Those of us who have found that rebates have not properly kept up with inflation will welcome such an effort.

Rich Bodo received a round of applause after offering to help with IT issues. Rich has put our email list messages and other documentation in a Google Group which will help to keep members informed. Several requests for feedback and scam alerts have been uploaded since then.

We are also trying to arrange Zoom meetings with other associations in our zone.

Another remit concerned late night discharges from hospitals which can leave elderly patients struggling to arrange transport or lodging. We reported that our District Health Board (DHB) has stepped up here and, to my knowledge, there have been no recent incidents. Along with scheduling visits to Nelson for the afternoon, we here are being well served.

The more serious issue discussed at a recent meeting with the DHB is what structures will replace the current organisation. We will certainly stay on top of this issue to prevent people here from being disadvantaged in the new system. Golden Bay Community Health has been proactive on this issue, meeting with our members to map out a strategy. Last week I had a Zoom meeting with Otago medical students who were encouraged to consider becoming rural GPs. The Federation has received the energy chair’s recommendation that I replace him for another year. In the meantime I’ve written an article for the next Grey Power magazine about the recent power outage. This article suggests more government oversight and increased storage facilities to improve resilience and lower consumer costs. I’ve also been nominated to participate in the Energy Hardship Reference Group meetings as Grey Power representative. Members are as usual encouraged to send me their thoughts on this vital issue.

I was pleased to see subsidised dental care discussed at the Federation AGM, but it seems there will be little progress prior to the health sector restructure. This is a serious issue for the elderly who often pass up treatment because of cost. We need to get dentists working with government on this issue.

There has been good progress made with plans for pensioner housing by the Affordable Housing Project. There is goodwill in the community to help expedite construction.

At the last GB Community Board meeting I brought up the proposed crossing at the top of Motupipi Street. The Board has indicated it will wait until the complete plan for Takaka, including current work outside the high school, is presented. I will take this issue back to Mayor Tim King at our next regular meeting.

Contrary to Dick Lamb’s conspiracy belief (GBW 27/8) in his response to my Council Matters column, the Three Waters Reform is about finding a new way of funding the replacement of the legacy of aging water infrastructure which a large number of big and small councils are well behind in renewing.

Ratepayers do not support either rates rises or debt increases, which has left a large number of councils between a rock and a hard place, and they have resorted to further delay. Yes, there are questions as to whether this is the best solution, and debate is needed. This is difficult when there is so little useful information provided so far and conspiracy beliefs with racist overtones are easily accessible.

More Covid information needed

It would be great if the daily press conferences could include information about harms, mental and financial stress, caused by lockdowns and side effects from the vaccine being experienced in New Zealand.

Housing over-development?

The 71 lot subdivision adjacent to Richmond Road Pohara for some will be a grand investment. While there seems to be a housing shortage, there are many homes in Golden Bay that are uninhabited much of the time.

In 2017, Central government invented the Housing Accord and Special Housing Areas law to streamline such developments. The idea was to provide affordable homes to those finding it difficult to enter the market.

The thing is, how affordable will land and home packages be for the average buyer? Furthermore, how does more housing

improve the community and what are the environmental outcomes?

The idea of continuous growth is a global mantra. It’s a jingle that rings in our ears daily.

If we question it publicly, we can be met with blank gazes as if we’re not part of the plan or that we might have lost our marbles.

I see the idea of more growth as the problem; it’s a problem that has caused more problems than we can poke a stick at.

Does more cinnamon make a cake taste better? Well, there’s a fine balance between what tastes good and what tastes yucky.

Saying that more development and more growth is better is much the same.

Why do people visit or live in Golden Bay - for more development or something else?

To overcome our addiction to continuous growth, we need to get over the idea of more development.

A&P Assoc plans its 125th show

POLICE REPORT

JO RICHARDS

The late nineteenth century must have been a pretty busy time for Golden Bay. A lot of today’s venerable societies, including Collingwood Rugby Club, Takaka Dog Trial Club and the Takaka Citizens’ Band, sprang up during that period.

It also saw the birth of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association, better known as the A&P Association, in 1894.

In a few months’ time, on the traditional third Saturday of January, the Association will celebrate its 125th show at Takaka’s Rec Park. Readers who are quick with mental arithmetic will already have worked out that there are more than 125 years between 1894 and 2022, and they are correct; the show has gone on through thick and thin – including a polio pandemic – with the exception of the years 1942-1944 during World War II. One thing the show rarely has to worry about, according to A&P Association secretary and “lynch pin” Jean Wedderburn, is the weather; the sun it seems always shines on the show. “There have only been about seven wet days in all those years,” says Jean.

“But when it does rain it really rains.”

Mindful of the current pandemic, the Association is ploughing ahead with plans for a big celebration on Saturday 15 January. “We’re hoping to do something special,” says Jean.

As a nostalgic nod to the past, the upcoming show will revive some traditional classes which will take their place alongside the well established exhibits in the booth. “These will include ‘milk jug cover with beads’, ‘crotchet doily’ and ‘pin cushion’,” says Jean. “In the flower section we’re adding ‘perfumed rose’ and ‘three carnations’.”

There will also be some new categories, especially for the younger entrants. “We’re updating the kids’ section, with new classes for the under-8s, the 8-11s, and the 12-15s.”

Other traditions of the show will remain unchanged. “We’re having some cattle,” says Jean. “We’re not sure exactly what yet, but we’ll definitely have pet calves.”

As preparations ramp up for the big day, Jean says it’s never too early for traders to book their place. “We usually have between 100-120 stalls.” The Association is also looking for show sponsors. “You can sponsor one class or more, or just an amount.”

Jean explains that the schedule of classes for entry has been released early this year to give entrants time during the colder months to prepare crafts and other items, and entries are already being accepted. “People can email them to me anytime.” For those who would prefer to submit their entries in-person rather than online, there are two sessions being held at the Anglican Church Hall, on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 December.

The schedule can be found on the Royal A&P Society website: www.ras.org.nz/showsevents/central-region/#show_61 or email goldenbayshow@gmail.com for a copy.

Printed copies will be available from October at various outlets in Takaka and Collingwood.

For more information on sponsoring the show, and/or reserving a stall, contact Daphne Woods at: gbshowtreasurer@gmail.com Weather and pandemic permitting, Golden Bay’s 125th A&P Show is already shaping up to be a great day out.

LEVEL 3 TRADING AT ITM TAKAKA WE ARE OPEN FOR PICK-UP ONLY - THE STORE IS NOT OPEN

Kia ora whanau, At the time of writing, we are hopefully in our last day of Level 4 Covid restrictions. Thank you to everyone who did the right thing and stuck to their bubble and undertook essential travel only. It seems we have dodged a bullet by this variant not arriving in the South Island.

I have been policing Murchison for the last two weeks and returned on Monday. It is disappointing to see so many vehicles out and about in Golden Bay and I wonder if we have become complacent. The alert levels are there for a reason and all levels will be policed. We have taken a mostly educational approach when detecting breaches but these are noted and repeated offending is dealt with by way of a $300 fine or arrest.

• 5 August: Two local males were spoken to in relation escalating disorder and threats between the pair.

Ridiculous.

• 6 August: A 38-year-old female was issued a threemonth suspension from driving for excess demerits.

• 11 August: A fraud complaint is being investigated and an arrest likely following large sums of money being fraudulently withdrawn from the victim’s bank accounts.

Whilst this offence was not as the result of a scam, this is a good reminder to everyone to be vigilant with your security.

• A chainsaw, a number of bicycles and a drybag with sleeping bag and personal items have been handed to Police as found property.

• 17–31 August: Numerous people spoken to and warned for breaching lockdown restrictions. Two issued with $300 fines.

• A 13-year-old male is being referred to Youth Aid and Oranga Tamariki after committing burglary and stealing a motor vehicle. Remember to lock your vehicles, businesses and houses and don’t leave valuables unattended.

Stay safe out there, keep your community safe by doing the right thing, and be kind to each other.

Rubbish

Rates grace period

Kerbside rubbish collections continue as normal.

Tasman residents who pay their rates over the counter but are unable to do so because of lockdown are being given a grace period. The first instalment of this year's rates was due on Friday 20 August. For the duration of the higher levels of Covid-19 restrictions, levels three and four, our Customer Service Centres will remain closed for physical payments. We will provide an additional five working days after lockdown ceases, when our offices reopen, for customers to make over the counter payments. Overdue payment penalties will be applied after that five-day period. But remember another payment option is our secure online system. You can use any of the following methods, either from your bank account using account2account, or with Visa or Mastercard.

Visit our website for more information, tasman.govt.nz/do-it-online/payment/.

Resource Recovery Centres are open to commercial customers and the general public but for a limited range of services – mixed waste, scrap metal, greenwaste and cleanfill only. No face-to-face services (like Agrecovery or Reuse Shops) are available. Normal opening hours apply, but please expect delays. No multiple weighing for split loads on weighbridges – one weigh in and one weigh out. Contactless payment only (by account, or contactless card, no EFTPOS or cash). All customers must scan in with the government NZ COVID Tracer app, or at the manual sign-in locations, or give their name and contact details to the kiosk operator. One customer per vehicle – if you are not able to unload with one person then you will need to delay your visit until Alert Level Two.

We will be limiting the number of customers on site – please expect delays, with potentially long delays at peak times.

Recycling Kerbside recycling will continue as normal, and we are now able to process all recycling. However, we will be taking a strict approach to contamination – this means checking recycling bins and not collecting any dirty recycling. Please keep your recycling clean.

Contamination in our recycling, especially used face masks or protective equipment, could cause our plant to shut down. There is currently no public recycling drop-off at the moment. We will reinstate this service once the demand for waste disposal falls and we are confident we can operate safely.

Help keep our people safe Right now it’s more important than ever to keep our staff and contractors safe. Please make sure that your recycling is clean, and does not contain any non-recyclable materials. If in doubt, check out our website. It is absolutely essential that your recycling bin does not contain any sanitary items or personal protective equipment. Tissues, gloves and face masks must go in your rubbish bin. This is for everyone's safety. Thank you for helping keep our essential workers safe. Remember to give them a friendly wave when you see them out working!

A number of people have emailed me expressing their concerns about the Three Waters Reform package and process. Concerns have focused on a lack of access to information and ratepayers’ assets being sold off.

Councils are currently in an eight-week review period that enables each council to investigate the reforms and assess their effects on our district.

Consultation obligations will be triggered once the reforms have been finalised.

The extensive reforms proposed are truly transformational to the extent that councils’ future role is difficult to imagine post-reform.

Local Government NZ (LGNZ) has acknowledged that the way water services are delivered needs to change, and the LG sector has sought reform from successive governments.

Although the Government is working to develop their preferred model alongside the LG sector, it is clear to me that the Government is strongly committed to this change.

I won’t be surprised if ultimately the reforms are mandatory with no opt-in/opt-out for councils.

LGNZ and the Department of Internal Affairs have recently released further information regarding the rationale for the proposals. It is available on their websites. The information following is sourced from those documents.

The assets will remain in public ownership and are not being sold. The new “Entities” would be collectively owned

by councils, on behalf of communities, and will hold Three Waters assets and associated debt. The councils that make up each entity would be the owners of that entity.

Water services would be more difficult to privatise under the new proposal than they are right now.

There would be statutory restrictions on the sale of material water assets and a further safeguard, with any proposal for privatisation needing to be endorsed by the Regional Representation Group (75% majority) and put to a public referendum (75% majority). There is no shareholding structure, and a prohibition on dividends.

The Government considers that dealing with 30 years of systemic failure will require investment of more than $185bn over the next 30 years. Entities would have larger borrowing capacity to fund the necessary investments—significantly more than councils. The current funding system isn’t capable of delivering what is needed without significantly increasing costs to ratepayers.

The current supply chain has more market power than the average council. With four entities, the market power would switch around.

There are many other aspects to cover, of course. Future columns will look at the effects for Tasman, structure, and key challenges. The Full Council Meeting Agenda for 12 August included a staff report on the reforms, which covers a range of aspects. It is available on the TDC website.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 2021

AT THE MOVIES: Some Like it Hot ALISTAIR HUGHES

Delayed by the recent Covid-19 lockdown, the Village Theatre’s season of classic films will soon (hopefully) launch with the 1959 comedy classic Some Like it Hot. Consistently placed highly in “greatest movies of all time” polls, and preserved by the US congress for “cultural significance”, Some Like it Hot should need little introduction.

But this famous cross-dressing caper co-starring Marilyn Monroe still has much to say in our current gender-identityfocused age. It also strongly influenced more relatively recent comedies such as Tootsie (1982) and Mrs Doubtfire (1993).

Audiences new to this film – which is set in prohibition-era Chicago – might be surprised to find that not only does it open with an exciting car chase and shoot-out, but Marilyn herself doesn’t appear until well into the story.

Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) are jobbing musicians who narrowly escape a police raid on a speakeasy, only to accidentally witness a gangster revenge killing.

With the mob eager to silence them, the two friends realise that leaving the city quickly is their only chance of survival.

They take the first opportunity available – to join a group of musicians headed to Miami by train. The only hitch is that it is an all-female band, and Joe and Jerry must disguise themselves as women to get the gig.

As they approach the train, their confidence in being able to portray convincing members of the opposite sex takes a considerable hit when ukulele player Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) undulates past them as she hurries to board. The boys are smitten on sight, as a large portion of any audience has been for the past 60 years.

And this is perhaps where Some Like it Hot distinguishes itself.

Monroe may effortlessly put a trainload of attractive young women immediately in the shade, but the crucial point is that hers is a comedy performance – and an exquisitely timed one at that. Any contemporary unease over the lead actress existing simply as an object of lust and competition is quickly diffused in a series of rapid-fire comedy encounters where Monroe more than holds her own. Sugar Kane is a fully rounded character, if you’ll pardon the pun, brought to life with perfect comic timing.

Meanwhile, the anxious and uncertain Jerry seems to be discovering unexpected advantages in living as a woman.

Soon abandoning the awkward “Geraldine” alias for “Daphne”, he discovers a new confidence and vitality missing in his “previous life”.

There is material aplenty for an entire film in the train journey alone, but this is just the beginning, as the Miami hotel venue quickly proves to be fertile ground for further plot twists.

Joe steps up his pursuit of Sugar by adopting a new disguise as an oil millionaire to woo her, while Jerry/Daphne is less fortunate, forced to fend off the attentions of a real besotted millionaire bachelor, Osgood Fielding III. Added to this is the not-completely-unexpected

Network Tasman resumes planned network maintenance As COVID-19 restrictions on business operations have eased, Network Tasman has resumed work on essential network maintenance and upgrades.

development that the same hotel is also hosting a gathering of the national crime syndicate, including the same mobsters still in deadly pursuit of Joe and Jerry. It becomes easy to see why the pacing of Some like it Hot is widely considered to match anything made today.

Director Billy Wilder stages each sequence with an expert eye. The very slow pan-in on Monroe as she unforgettably performs I Wanna Be Loved by You is an absolute standout.

But as much as every scene with Monroe shines, Jack Lemmon’s alter ego Daphne is a remarkable creation, making the romantic persistence of Osgood entirely plausible within the context.

Old films might be simply old, but a classic movie continues to weave its magic no matter when it was made – and Some Like it Hot is a perfect example.

As an essential service, Network Tasman operates a year round maintenance program designed to ensure our electricity network is efficiently maintained.

During Alert Level 4, we continued to respond to emergency events, but suspended all other work on our network. However as we move down the alert levels, it is important we resume our maintenance work. We will prioritise work that doesn’t require customer outages, but in some instances, a small number of outages will be unavoidable.

We recognise that these outages can be difficult for some consumers to manage and we are working to ensure the duration of these outages is minimised.

It is in the best interests of all our consumers that we undertake planned outages now, to help avoid longer unplanned outages later.

You may see Network Tasman vehicles and field staff out working on the network. In line with COVID-19 guidelines, Network Tasman staff are operating under strict social distancing rules.

If you are experiencing a power outage, please call our 24hr fault response line on 0800 508 100.

We would like to thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times.

The girls who play with fire RONNIE SHORT

GOLDEN BAY

Claire French, of Wonder-Full Creations, is offering eight weeks of fire project classes for girls aged 12-18 years.

The programme is fully funded by Sports Tasman Kohine Maia (bold, confident teenage girls) and Tasman District Council.

Teaching the art of using fire torches and possibly other props such as hoops and fans, the course will culminate in a fire performance at the Youth Festival to be held at the Washbourn Gardens in Richmond, on 3 December.

Claire says: “The young people will be involved in creating the choreography for the fire show, which will be performed to music.”

The course ignites on Monday 4 October at a venue within walking distance from the high school. There are still spaces available for five girls. Numbers are strictly limited to 10, which is why the venue is revealed only upon enrolment, as no unexpected extras will be admitted.

With a background in youth work, Claire has found that working with fire can be a good tool for change. She has seen the positive outcomes of her workshops in young people, and hopes for the same for this course. The girls will gain new skills, improve confidence and self-esteem whilst having new experiences and making new friends.

“I find working with fire is really good for young people’s confidence,” says Claire, adding that running a course only for girls “gives them space to be expressive”.

Originally from Manchester, Claire has lived in New Zealand for 11 years and is now a happy NZ resident. Prior to moving to Golden Bay after last year’s lockdown, she had lived in Wanaka for 10 years. “Golden Bay has been my second home...I have done a lot of workshops here in the past.”

Describing herself as a “multi-potentialite”, Claire has many skills developed over 25 years of international event production, performance and experience. She organised and performed at

Premix

Servicing the Bay from the Bay

the recent Rec Park Fireworks Extravaganza and was the event co-ordinator for this year’s WoodFest.

Also starting in October, Claire is offering dance classes for adults – Zumba, Hoopdance with firehoops, and Chakra Ecstatic dance.

Lockdown baking: banana bread ROSA VOLZ

Lockdown calls for baking. For our family it serves as an educational respite from home-schooling, as well as a delicious snack.

The following is an easy banana bread recipe, a perfect use for spotty or frozen bananas. To make the recipe into a more decadent version, just add the optional ingredients (chocolate comes highly recommended). It’s really just a cake in a loaf-shaped tin.

Food historians disagree about the genesis of banana bread, which has been in American recipe books since the 1930s. Some believe it came about with the advent of the mass-produced rising agents baking soda and baking powder in the 1930s.

Others believe it was down to resourceful bakers during the Great Depression, not wishing to waste brown bananas. Either way, the result has been long-lived, and a “National Banana Bread Day” is observed in America by aficionados on 23 February. Here in New Zealand, any day is a good day for banana bread.

Ingredients: 115g butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1.5 cups flour (or any flour substitute), 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt, ¼ cup sour cream or yoghurt, ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional), 1 cup dark chocolate chips (optional), 3 very soft bananas.

Method: Preheat oven to 180⁰C or 160⁰C fan bake. Grease and/or line a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir into the butter mixture until smooth. Finally, fold in the sour cream, walnuts, chocolate chips and bananas. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

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.

Unwavering support during unsettling times A heartfelt thanks goes out to our team, customers, partners and the community who have supported us through the many challenges of the recent lockdown. Thank you.

Our Collingwood-based crew continue to raise the bar by being adaptable, resilient, and caring. As a result, we’ve been able to safely supply our community with wellness essentials during this stressful time. Ka pai!

We’re keen members of the Sustainable Business Network and are delighted to be named a finalist in two categories of the Sustainable Business Awards for 2021.

The ‘Social Impactor’ Award recognises an organisation that is consistently improving people’s lives through its day-to-day business practices, putting the needs of team, customers, community and the environment at the heart of every decision. To that end, we’re pleased to now also be accredited Living Wage employers.

We’re always looking for keen volunteers to support this important work. If you’re interested please get in touch with Nature Trust Coordinator Marian Milne on: marian@farmside.co.nz There is so much sustainability trail-blazing happening in Aotearoa: we’re truly honoured to be recognised as delivering on our mission to have a lasting positive impact on the wellbeing of people and the planet. None of this would be possible without the support of our customers in Mohua Golden Bay and beyond.

So, thank you! This recognition belongs to you as well.

The ‘Restoring Nature’ Award is presented to a business taking a leadership role in restoring biodiversity in New Zealand. We are recognised in this category for the ecological restoration taking place at Onetahua Farewell Spit and Wharariki.

This is a true partnership, team and community effort. Thanks to many hours donated by local volunteers, we’re on track with our extensive preparations for the safe translocation of fluttering and flesh-footed shearwater chicks to our Wharariki Ecosanctuary this coming summer.
