Level 2 cleared for take-off

Following three weeks of total and partial lockdown, Covid rules were relaxed at midnight on Tuesday for all regions except Auckland. After receiving clearance for take-off at Alert Level 2, it didn’t take long for Golden Bay’s businesses to bounce back. By early Wednesday morning, life in the Bay was already returning to yet another version of normal as cafes, retailers, workshops and hairdressers opened their doors. Just outside Takaka, activity was ramping up at the aerodrome as Golden Bay Air prepared for its first scheduled flight since the start of lockdown. Standing beside the airline’s single-engine GippsAero Airvan, operations manager Edward Last explained that the aircraft would be transporting passengers over Cook Strait later in the day. “It’ll be flying to Wellington at 3pm.” In town, Commercial Street was seeing much more commerce than in recent weeks. Top Shop owner Janet Rusbatch said she opened at 5.30am and her famous hot savouries were soon flying out of the cabinet. “We get a lot of tradies in; they’re very pleased

to get their pie fix.” Pies, along with other tasty treats, were on offer at De-Lish where owner Jilly Foxwell was clearly pleased to be serving her regulars once again. “It’s nice to see everyone,” said Jilly. “It’s been quietly steady this morning.” Also experiencing “steady” trade, according to Cilla Carey was Goodness 2 Go. “Everyone’s enjoying being out in the sun,” said Cilla. Anyone looking for hardware or building supplies will find it much easier at Alert Level 2. At Hammer Hardware, Steve Cottle and owner Gavin Palmer were happy to be welcoming shoppers into the store. “Today is great,” said Gavin. “There’s been a few customers in so far.” He noted his customers’ compliance with the new hygiene protocols. “Everyone’s following the rules; people have been fantastic.” At the other end of town Pipeworx and ITM, like Hammer Hardware, were allowed to trade during lockdown, albeit under strict regulations, but from Wednesday morning they were they able to welcome customers through the door. The easing of restrictions also allows Takaka Memorial Library to reopen but visitors are

subject to a few additional rules: there must be no unaccompanied children under 12; children must stay close by their caregiver; and only short visits to choose books are allowed. Another cultural hub, the Village Theatre is permitted to operate, but will delay reopening until next Friday in order to allow the necessary arrangements to be made. In Collingwood, while not quite business as usual, cafes and shops were open, as well as the township’s hair salon where owner Arendie Huisman was having a busy morning. “I’ve been going since 9am and I’ve had four people through already,” said Arendie who is happy to be back at work. “I’m so pleased to be open, and everyone’s been awesome.” Using sockets sets not scissors, Graeme Miller was busy carrying out some repairs on a customer’s SUV at Millers Garage which is now fully operational. The Bay’s tourism sector is beginning to perk up again with the Abel Tasman and Heaphy tracks open and operators, including Farewell Spit Eco Tours, welcoming customers once again.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 10 SEPTEMBER 2021

XPlusY

At Delta Alert Level 2, bubbles can expand and a wide range of social, cultural and sporting activities become possible. The opening up reflects the Government’s confidence that the Delta variant is contained – at least outside Auckland. To keep it that way, however, means it’s not suddenly a free-for-all. This time around, it’s Delta Level 2, which comes with a few tweaks. One of the most significant changes from last year’s Level 2 is the reduction of the attendance limit on indoor gatherings from 100 to 50. For gatherings taking place outdoors, the limit remains at 100. Physical distancing and rigorous health and hygiene protocols are still mandatory, including staying at home if unwell and getting advice about being tested. Under the previous Alert Level 2 regime, it was compulsory to maintain a distance of at least two metres in public and in retail stores, such as supermarkets and clothes shops. One metre of distance was acceptable in most other places,but under At Delta Level 2, a two-metre separation is required in all situations. Other notable tweaks concern scanning and face-coverings. In order to facilitate rapid contact tracing, everyone aged 12 and must now scan or sign-in at all venues. Masks must now be worn in all public indoor settings, but can be removed while eating and drinking in hospitality venues. Before they can enjoy their food and beverages, however, all customers must be seated and wait to be served. Other venues may alternate occupied seats with vacant seats to allow physical distancing. Libraries, swimming pools, dance studios, and museums can also reopen but must adhere to the prescribed protocols. All early learning services, schools, and tertiary education facilities opened on Thursday. The Government states that all children should attend school unless they are sick and, although masks aren’t mandatory, they are strongly encouraged for those aged 12 and over. More exercise and recreation options open up at Alert Level 2, including team sports, multi-day tramps, boating and motorised water sports – provided they can be carried out safely. A 100-person limit for outdoor team sports includes players and spectators, but not referees, officials and other workers providing services. Finally, good news for many, but perhaps not for some: most employees are able to return to their regular place of work. Continued on page 2

Doris Symmons offers Home Care with Flair with her special companion Lucy, a Maltese-shitzu dog. Photo: Supplied. RONNIE SHORT

Doris Symmons is offering retirement help, assisted-living care and childcare with her new business venture, Home Care With Flair. From Alert Level Two, Doris will be ready with her in-home or in-care assistance for the elderly and home support for families in Golden Bay. The idea surfaced when she and her husband Mik helped a friend move into a care facility. “I know there are times for many people when they need a bit of extra help,“ says Doris “I wanted a change.” She then thought of offering help to families as well as the elderly, and is available to support anyone with child minding, housework, light gardening, outings, yoga therapy, elderly companionship and much more. “I want to tailor my services to the person or people’s needs. “Whatever people want,” says Doris. “I do enjoy people and thought that would be something I could do.” Doris is equipped to offer a wide range of support. Experienced as an early childhood educator, she has also worked in special needs and for 17 years as a children’s library assistant. She researched what qualifications might be needed, finding she already has the experience and skills required.

Doris can personalise her service to meet individual needs. She can help with using devices or music and dancing for people with Parkinson’s disease, or yoga therapy. She offers outings, pick-ups and drop-offs for children, creative play, reading, cooking, cleaning and will even sleep over if necessary. “Just whatever Mum or Dad need.” Having raised her own two boys and now a grandmother to five grandchildren, Doris wants to put her knowledge and experience to good use, feeling she can give “that little bit extra…with a bit of a grandmother feel to it.” Her own special companion is Lucy, a Maltese-shitzu dog, whom she hopes to take along with her, if people are open to making a furry friend. Having built a special Lucy-box, which is fitted to the back of her e-bike, Doris intends to ride as much as possible to and from the jobs she secures. “It’s been great to get my Lucy-box ready so she can come with me,” said Doris. “I always wanted to do something where I can take Lucy.” Home Care With Flair can be found on Facebook, where Doris is offering a 20 per cent discount to the first 10 people who Like the page and send a message. That discount will pay for an hour of her time, and can be gifted. Phone 027 759 5143 or 03 525 9525.

Pipeworx will be open to all customers: - 8am to 5pm - Monday to Friday or we can be contacted as below. We ask that social distancing is observed while in store. Stay safe everyone!

We live in a representational democracy. This allows us to elect fellow citizens to represent us in the decision-making of a council. They become a board, with the mayor being the chair of this board. This board should make decisions based on expert advice from politically neutral public servants, but I don’t believe this is happening at Tasman District Council. There appears to be a clear divide between those councillors who fall under the influence of past mayor Kempthorne and his successor, and those against. We at this time are seeing the results of this division, and the public servant experts are, I believe, controlling our councillors. The requests put to council by residents and ratepayers suffer from this divided representation. When we are given the opportunity to support or reject decisions made by this divided team, in every case we are overruled by the mayor’s team. As our councillors have to go to staff for guidance in addressing issues, this gives staff power over our representatives and leads to “the tail wagging the dog”. We witnessed this over the A-D choices on the Waimea Dam costing. We are now facing a choice on the Three Waters – “to join or not to join” – but will we really be given a choice? Reg Turner

Little logic in Three Waters authority boundaries

As I understand it from reading the Government’s Three Waters publications, the areas to be covered by each of the four proposed authorities have been determined by consideration of iwi boundaries. The documents are effectively silent however as to the reasoning for the inclusion of the top of the South Island with an entity that also covers the lower part and East Coast of the North Island, and which will presumably be headquartered in Wellington. It would be helpful to inform the debate to hear from the perspectives of the Golden Bay/ Mohua iwi as to why the current boundary proposal should be supported, or in the alternative, why the top of the South could be included with the entity which encompasses the rest of the South Island, which is far more logical from engineering and administrative standpoints. Richard English

Angels of enlightenment

“This world is too absurd; It can’t possibly be real.” That was my assessment in the early 1980s, as I became aware of USA foreign policy and the indifference of my American associates to the pointless system of war and terror – wars costing millions of lives and trillions of dollars, wars that jeopardised human survival worldwide. I’d see 100,000 at a football game, and 10 at a peace vigil. Heartbreaking indifference. How could people care so much about a football and so little about human life? Getting the products of the education system to think was impossible. “People would rather die than ask a question or think a new thought”, I wrote. Later, I learned that Bertrand Russell wrote much the same thing. I stand by my initial assessment and enlarge upon it. Why do we exist? Why were we born on this planet? In this country? At this time? Why do we have 10 toes? Science has no explanation and never will. In other words, existence is a miracle – something entirely arbitrary. How should we respond? By celebrating, by appreciating, and by serving our fellow human beings as best we can. We serve by going deeper, and deeper still, exploring the infinite world of our own feelings,

getting to know ourselves, and in this way getting to know others. Attitudes communicate where words fail. Attitudes are contagious. So, we become attitudes and thus angels of enlightenment. Let us be kind and listen to one another. Bruce Dooley

We are all in this together

Re the quote by Nelson Mandela in the paid content on page 5 of last week’s GB Weekly (3/9). Nelson Mandela also said in 1995: “The time has come to accept in our hearts and minds that with freedom comes responsibility.” This suggests that Mandela believed the health of freedom in a society rests on the level of responsibility it is accompanied by. (Nelson Mandela Foundation 2017) He talked further about obligations to his family, and to his community, his country, his people. We are all in this together. Robin Palmer

More information needed on Three Waters

As a further response to Dick Lamb’s letter (GBW 27/8), the following new information may help to shed more light on the topic of governance of the Three Waters entities, in particular the makeup of the entity boards. Local Government NZ (LGNZ) which represents councils has, in response to community questions, recently sought answers from government staff as to the reason behind Maori members making up 50 per cent of the boards. This is the answer: “The Treaty of Waitangi is one of our constitutional documents, built on the concept of cogovernance. Not an ownership role here – but a governance role. Also [a history of ] poor delivery of water services to marae and maori communities…under current government arrangements. This is a government keen to drive greater co governance in key strategic positions.” Maori are being brought into the centre of the Three Waters Reform and this is a ministerial decision, and further questions should be directed there. I suggest that the low profile of this information in the community debate so far has resulted firstly, in speculation by some as to the reason for 50 per cent Maori board membership, and secondly, concerns about racist elements in this speculation, as I expressed in my letter (GBW 3/9). I would like to stress that this was in no way directed at Dick Lamb personally. Celia Butler, TDC councillor

Local graphic designers Elissa Ray and Jude Burford have just completed one of their most challenging projects – rebranding their own business; formerly known as X+Y Creations. Having designed logos, signs and websites for a huge range of local businesses over the past five years, they have revamped the company brand to X Plus Y and are in the process of relaunching their website. A combination of factors, including their young son Rev starting school, has enabled them to focus their design talents on their business. The original company name stemmed from Elissa’s love of algebra formulae (although she claims to be “not very good at maths”), she and Jude’s male and female partnership, and the fact that they are each from the different generations X and Y. The creative couple have developed their own highly detailed process for helping clients to understand their businesses and customer base better, and applied the same system to themselves. “Doing this ourselves has informed our own branding,” explains Elissa. “And we came up with the same two keywords: ‘Creative and friendly’. That’s what we want our business to portray.”

Jude explains that they also developed their own redesigned logo ideas separately. “And they were both pretty similar. We had really close alignments, so brought our two ideas together and went from there.” Having trained as designers together in Wellington, they find their differing approaches to be a real advantage. “We try to both meet with clients at the first meeting,” explains Elissa, “and that sets the tone for deciding which of us is better suited to lead the project, whoever has got that ‘vibe’ going.” “But there’s always a collaboration,” adds Jude. “At the concept stages for logos we will often both produce one just to see what the range is, and sometimes we’ll take elements from both designs.” X PlusY has a huge range of happy clients all over Golden Bay, including Zentec, Heavy Diesel Golden Bay, Takaka Primary School and the Wholemeal Cafe. “Our main goal is to say: ‘Hey, you don’t need to go over the hill for high-quality design and websites,” Elissa says. “You don’t need to go to Nelson or Wellington because you’ve got the same calibre of professionalism right here. We’ll meet you for coffee – heck, we’ll even buy you the coffee!”

POLICE REPORT Kia ora whanau, With the drop in alert levels we are seeing an increase in vehicular and pedestrian traffic, making it more important to keep under the speed limit and take extra care at intersections. Police nationally have made “safe roads” one of our goals. We have started a road policing initiative called Operation Deterrence. What you will see is us concentrating on road safety at unpredictable times and in areas where we perhaps are not often seen. Wednesday morning was an example: between 5.30 and 7am 10 people were caught speeding on Abel Tasman Drive. The idea is that the unpredictability of enforcement will lead to real change in driver behaviours. • 31 August: A 22-year-old local male was issued a $300 Covid infringement for going boating with his brother on 28 August 2021 at Westhaven. • Police are investigating unlawful hunting and the stealing of a game camera which occurred over the lockdown period. • 5 September: A couple from Nelson were warned for breaching lockdown by relocating to their holiday bach in Golden Bay on 4 September. • 5 September: Police investigating a group of about 10 youths partying and spotlighting through the night at Turamawiwi in breach of Covid restrictions. • 5 September: A 68-year-old local male was issued with a $300 Covid infringement for failing to wear a face covering, having previously been spoken to by Police. • 7 September: A 51-year-old local female received a formal warning for theft following an incident on the 28 August. • 7 September: A 49-year-old local female was charged with

driving with excess breath alcohol and had her licence suspended immediately for 28 days after being stopped on Waitapu Road. • A 35 year-old male from Marlborough was warned for theft of fuel after twice “forgetting” to pay for his fuel at BP. • Police are investigating the artful graffiti of a road safety sign on the Takaka-Collingwood Highway.

E l l e n Fr a n c e s D o d d s was born in Nelson on 23 December 1928, the first of 10 children. Her parents were apple and pear growers in the Moutere area. She was a child of the Depression and the war years, with the trials and tribulations of that era. The Dodds children ran over the Moutere hills, swam in the Appleby River, dragnetted for flounder and dogfish on the mudflats, spent time fishing and whitebaiting, and sometimes sold the catch to golfers at their Dad’s club for household money. The family holidayed at Kaihoka Lakes, travelling over on the back of a truck, Beverly Hillbillies-style. Fran attended schools at Mahana and Redwood Valley. She remembered the Rose boys passing her home as they biked over the Takaka Hill to boarding school at Nelson Boys College. Fran stayed with her grandparents while at Nelson College for Girls, and after matriculation trained as a dental nurse at the Wellington Dental School, where her uncle was dean. After graduating in the late 1940s she came to Golden Bay, based mostly in Takaka and Collingwood and travelling extensively around the rural schools. Her own children recall being lined up for athome oral checks with dental mirror and hook. Fran boarded at Ma Baker’s on Commercial Street, a stone’s throw from the Rose dairy farm down Rose’s Road. Ma Baker and Nita Rose were friends, and hatched a plan to get Nita’s shy son Patrick married off to this educated, professional woman. Ma Baker went on holiday and arranged for Fran to board with the Roses. The rest is history. Fran and Pat enjoyed a long and loving marriage. They raised seven children and looked after adored “extra Australian” extended-family children. Pat worked on the farm and ran the business, and Fran was boss of the house, kids,

and section. Fran’s family paid tribute to her role modelling as a mother. The household ran like a well-oiled machine. Fran was confident, assured, multi-talented, and would take anything on. Her children said Fran set high expectations for them and taught the value of hard work – academically, on the farm and in sport. She set her family up to succeed, be independent, to know they were loved and always had a place to come home to. Fran was involved in the swimming club for years, and organised learn-to-swim lessons at the primary school every summer. Her daughters were used as guinea pigs, showing others the progressions of swimming. She became a regional swim official, taught adults to swim, and inspired her family to be coaches. One of Fran’s proudest club achievements was when the team won the South Island Country Club Swim Club Championship. In 1979, Fran returned to her orcharding background and planted their first commercial kiwifruit vines. Pat chose the most productive dairying paddocks on the riverside. In the late 1980s Fran established a packhouse on the farm, and they packed kiwifruit for export for 20 years. She employed hundreds of people there over the years and loved to supply baking for their breaks. Pat’s death in 1990 was a real blow to Fran. Her family honours Pat as “the steady pillar in the partnership”. Fran continued farming with her son, David, as housemate and work buddy. Fran was the first woman to qualify as an indoor basketball referee in the Nelson region, was a founding member of the Playcentre in Takaka, and helped keep Plunket busy. She was an avid reader of novels, local history

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.

and the newspaper, and was very creative. As an artist she mastered a style then moved on to something new – portraits, working with pencil and charcoal, and teaching her children watercolour landscape basics. Fran created theatre backdrops and made pottery. Her attitude, “If you can’t be the best, don’t do it”, pushed her to constantly strive for perfection in all she did. Even in her colourful garden she grew prize-winning roses. Fran remained keenly interested in the farm, and even when hospitalised before she died was still asking about ways to improve orchard performance and soil fertility. A standout feature of Fran’s character is the “open house” policy she operated. Hundreds stayed on the farm over the years, receiving the benefit of Fran’s experiences and instructions. She will be lovingly remembered for that, and for being larger than life and full of opinions. Fran Rose died on 13 July 2021, followed by a celebration of her generous and independent life on 18 July. Unique to the end, her funeral was a day later than planned due to flooding, which gave her extra time with her family on the farm.

Tākaka Hill Road night closure September These works are weather and COVID-19 dependent. At Alert Level 3, works can restart while adhering to strict COVID-19 health and safety protocols for the protection of our crews and road users.

Plan ahead for a 14-night road closure Wednesday 8 – Wednesday 22 September from 9pm to 5am each night Planned works: Installation of large new culverts (pipes) at sites 6 and 13 through the current single traffic lane and pavement construction at sites 7 and 11. This work is essential to ensuring stormwater moves efficiently through the sites, and will help minimise future delays and damage to the sites during heavy rainfall. For safety reasons, and least disruption to traffic, works will be done at night and are weather dependent. As we reach the final construction stages further night closures will be necessary. We will let you know well in advance the dates for future night closures so you can plan ahead.

More information If you need access over the hill for night work or essential commitments, please email takakahill@nzta.govt.nz or call Kane Reihana on 027 886 4508. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. Emergency services will be able to use the road at all times.

Eighteen members of Golden Bay’s Land Search and Rescue (LandSAR) team have been awarded Certificates of Appreciation in recognition of their years of service. The family-friendly social event was held pre-lockdown, at the Mussel Inn. Local chair Steve Cottle said 30 attended, including the chair of LandSAR NZ, Graham Pomeroy. “He was our chairperson here for years. We were lucky enough to have him there to present these awards, as Golden Bay is his home town and where he started from in Search and Rescue.” Steve explained that the usual increments of five years’ service recognition had changed, and members are now recognised for the number of years each has served. Mik Symmons is the longest-serving member, with 32 years as a Golden Bay LandSAR volunteer. However, Wouter de Maat has served 41 years in total – 31 with Golden Bay LandSAR and 10 years with Nelson LandSAR beforehand. Wouter also serves as secretary/treasurer, incident management team manager and treasurer for Tasman LandSAR. Third in line for lengthy service recognition is Darren Foxwell, who has been a Department of Conservation representative for

27 years and is also an IMT Manager. Both he and Wouter take the initial callout and liaise with police. Close behind Darren is Ricky Ward, who has served 25 years. “We did recognise the late Blue Horton, who served 12 years,” said Steve. “Blue was a great mentor. He was the one who kept telling me to keep going…always encouraging me to do better.” Steve himself was recognised for 7 years’ service. LandSAR NZ Inc is a national volunteer organisation that provides land search and rescue services to lost, missing and injured people all over New Zealand. Currently the Golden Bay LandSAR membership has 35 active members, 11 of whom enlisted following the West Coast saga last year. They are currently undergoing training and will be ready for service in the next six months. “With these new members we are really moving forward now,” said Steve. “A lot of our members just attended a two-day outdoor First Aid course with a top-notch trainer who is the medical adviser for LandSAR NZ.” Each year, the national body trains volunteers to respond in their community’s time of need, believing that building resilience has the highest potential for greatest outcome. Steve is working to bring to Golden Bay some of the four national training courses for new recruits.
