Golden Bay Community Board’s monthly meeting took place via Zoom on Tuesday morning. Attendance was depleted due to absence and illness, and some technical gremlins dogged the early part of the proceedings, but the meeting was quorate and the bugs were quickly ironed out. Public Forum Chair of the Pakawau Community Residents Association Nigel Lloyd was the main victim of technical issues and a poor connection meant that his prepared statement had to read aloud by GBCB acting chair Grant Knowles (see main story, left). The second contributor had better luck; Duncan Cavaye came through loud and clear with his opposition to the penguinprotecting fence proposed for Tarakohe Port. “We have to be very careful where we put fences and restrict access. I’m getting a lot of support from the community who value fishing, walking and picnicking there.” Duncan said that “a senior manager at DOC” believed the fence to be unnecessary as the penguins were thriving, and questioned whether the proposal was based on objective data. “It’s all subjective hearsay.” Later in the meeting councillor Chris Hill pointed out that a defined public consultation process, including a hearing panel, would be followed in order to make a decision. Annual Plan TDC strategic policy manager Dwayne Fletcher and community policy advisor Amy Smith made a presentation on the Annual Plan 2022-23 consultation document. Amy said that public consultation was necessary because there had been “significant and material changes” from the Long Term Plan 2021-2031. These, she explained, were caused predominantly by financial pressures including inflation, supply chain issues and the Waimea Dam cost blowout. The main purpose of the consultation is for the public to choose between two rates increase options – 5.51 per cent and 7.66 per cent. Amy also provided a summary of planned projects and programmes, and changes to fees and charges for council services.

Plea to protect Pakawau Continued from page 1 ...application goes to a commission hearing? • What are the legal processes TDC undertakes when installing hard protection for their own infrastructure? • Why can they not share this information and allow Pakawau to do the same? • Why does the Resource Management Act discriminate between private property and council infrastructure? • What ongoing action is the TDC taking to enhance and protect the esplanade reserve at Pakawau as directed by
NZ Coastal Policy? • What immediate action is being taken to make the Pakawau beach access points safe? When the matter was discussed later in the meeting, TDC group manager environmental assurance Dennis Bush-King advised the board to forward the questions, which should be “easily answered”, to the council’s manager of Resource Consents [Tania Harris]. Dennis suggested that the board should ask to be “copied in” to the staff response to the PCRA.

The board agreed that the current market was well-managed and successful, and backed the report’s recommendation. Chair’s Report Anzac commemorations: Grant noted that there will be dawn parades in Collingwood and Tākaka this year. High School intersection: Last September, GBCB recommended to council that the trial road layout at the junction of Meihana Street, Commercial Street and Rototai Road should be altered, with the slip road reopened and pedestrian crossings relocated. GBHS’s Board of Trustees disagreed and requested that the trial configuration was instead made permanent. Following a protracted discussion, involving TDC senior transportation engineer Mike Van Enter, the board agreed a resolution, though not unanimously, which would effectively rescind its previous decision and confirm its support for the current road layout. Festive decorations: The board did not show a great deal of
enthusiasm for the topic, but a text received from chair Abbie Langford towards the end of the discussion indicated that she would explore options and prices for festive decorations. Update on MOU: Grant noted that the Local Government Commission had not yet responded on the draft Memorandum of Understanding – the document that will define the relationship between GBCB and TDC. Tasman Transport Committee: Councillor Celia Butler explained that the community would soon be consulted about reducing speed limits in numerous locations around the Bay. Art Strategy: Grant informed the board about a new Art Strategy being developed by the Nelson Chamber of Commerce (NCoC), and which incorporated the whole of the top of the South Island. A draft, Grant said, should be published by June, and he asked the board to invite Ali Boswick from NCoC to present the strategy, once released, and consider submitting to the consultation. The board agreed. Action Sheet With no Financial Report available, a review of the Action Sheet marked the end of the meeting. The next meeting of GBCB is on Tuesday 10 May at 9.30am.

The Ministry of Social Development is working to raise awareness of the community Covid support system. By calling the dedicated helpline, Covid positive people isolating at home can access a range of services. Initially set up in early December 2021, by early March this year the helpline received 4,500 calls per day. This figure has now reduced to around 1,500 and an individual’s need can be met within 24 hours (see below for helpline operating hours). Upon making contact, a few questions are asked to assess the area of help most suited to the individ-ual and their whanau. The services available include: • Pick up and delivery of self-purchased groceries. • Prescription medication pick-up. • Home delivery of RAT kits. • Emotional support via phone. • Food parcels. Following assessment via the helpline, Community Connectors, funded by MSD, are responsible for providing the necessary service(s). In Golden Bay, the Community Connector role is carried out by Jenny Yeoman-Thompson of the Golden
Bay WorkCentre Trust. Besides being available to fulfil the above services, Jenny collaborates with Mohua Social Services. Their main role under the Covid support model is to supply food parcels where needed. Manager, Premal Gauntlett, says the MSD has made funding available to help meet the needs of people isolating due to being Covid positive. “Food bank is well resourced by the community,” says Premal. “The community has been doing an amazing job here in Golden Bay…the resilience and resourcefulness, and how we continue to meet the ongoing needs of this community in these challenging times.” She and Jenny agree on the strengths of the Mohua community, but also reiterate that there is more help available if required. Both emphasise the importance of people calling the 0800 Covid support number as the first step. “It can be really lonely [self-isolating],” says Jenny. “It’s okay to reach out for help, so don’t be whakama (shy) about making that call.” Covid helpline: 0800 512 337. Available: Monday to Friday 8am-5pm; Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 8am-1pm.

The collective dairy industry dream was a highly effective motivating force in building a dynamic and growing milk production industry to give rural prosperity and global trade in the same way that the American dream of fame, fortune, freedom, and firepower for all, built a nation, which spread Hollywood entertainment, culture, and a multitude of consumer brands globally. The central theme of the dairy dream was that individuals could enter the industry with no money or skills, progress through the levels of hierarchy by doing extremely hard work, and learning by experience, to reach the ultimate goal of independent farm ownership. This was a highly effective tool to attract new people into the industry to compliment the intergenerational farming workforce, who had long established skills, experience, culture, and traditions. The custodians of this dream were the industry levied body, membership organisations, rural agribusiness, and farmers themselves. These custodians all had a vested interest in keeping the dream from being broken by such things as fatigue, burnout, conflict, injustice, or just human frailty. Protection of industry reputation was paramount, and the industry narrative needed to be tightly controlled to maintain positivity and to avoid any unpleasant truths from leaking out. As the industry has grown in size, and new conversions have spread into marginal farming areas, the cost of farmland has increased and profit margins have been squeezed by increasing costs of feed and other inputs. The prevalence of traditional family farming units has been overtaken by multiple farm owners, corporate groups, and overseas ownership, making the possibility of owning a farm more remote. Global limits to milk production such as climate change, water quality, labour shortages, nutrient loss limits, increasing input costs, Covid-related supply chain problems, and competition for land with forestry carbon sequestration and biofuel energy cropping, have effectively stopped the growth of industry. No growth or the de-growth of the industry, now calls for the re-forming of the collective dairy industry dream or industry goal, which no longer serves the industry, the environment, or its people. Science-based solutions such as methane inhibitors and nitrate-leaching inhibitors seem like wishful thinking when confronted with the magnitude of the problems ahead of us. A far more hopeful solution is based on the simplicity of such practices as once-a-day milking, legume nitrogen fixing, lower inputs and stocking rates, and a focus on humanity, culture, wellness, kindness, and prosperity for all. Golden Bay has mostly single-unit family farms that have adapted well to the conditions over a long time and are guided by experience and intuition. A few farms have been contracted out to sharefarmers and tend to be run more in line with the dairy industry dream, driven hard by production targets. Farm leasing offers a simple pathway for farmers to continue to own the land and divest operational responsibility to someone to farm according to their own aspirations and values, whilst respecting the care of the farm by complying with the lease conditions. Smaller farms tend to suit leasing arrangements well and this could be included into the re-formed dairy dream along with singleunit family farms assisted by a team of willing workers. Matauranga Māori, and the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi would be a helpful addition to the dream, especially in light of the long-term vision and spectacular performance of Māori Incorporated business in the primary industries.

One of the impacts of heavy rainfall events is that the wastewater networks can become overloaded with stormwater. Here in Golden Bay there can be overflows at the sewer pump stations and resultant surface water contamination. During the last event, unusually high volumes of rain in the area of the Tākaka wastewater treatment plant, plus inflow from the town’s stormwater system, meant that the plant was put under extreme pressure. Additional pumping equipment was brought in to try and keep the ponds at manageable levels. Some partially treated wastewater likely flowed onto adjacent land and potentially into a creek that feeds the Tākaka River. Overflows occurred at five pump stations locally. There were subsequent notices to avoid contact with any flood and surface waters, to wait until the water cleared before swimming again, and to wait a number of days before taking shellfish. The key cause of sewer overflows is excessive rainwater entering the sewer networks. Some inflow during rain events is expected and to that end the networks are designed to accomodate up to six times the dry weather capacity. In some of Tasman’s catchments however the inflow has been up to 12 times capacity at times. The sources of the inflow are from both Council and private infrastructure. Key problems for Council are; manhole covers
in need of maintenance, ageing sewer pipes that are cracked and damaged that Council aren’t aware of, trees planted over sewer mains that have broken the pipes and sewer and storm water pipes being unintentionally cross connected. The key issues that contribute to the problem on private land are; roof water down pipes going into gully traps, gulley traps installed flush with the ground, and stormwater pipes being connected into the sewer pipe both unintentionally and intentionally. Council undertakes ongoing investigation to eliminate the problems points and has an annual renewal programme. Unfortunately, one of the first areas of the work programme to be deferred when Council are seeking to reduce costs and avoid further rates increases tends to be renewal programmes. While none of us want to see any wastewater overflows it does highlight the constant tension between what is required to be upgraded and affordability, which is one of the drivers of the national reform programme.

MONZA goes wild with weaving

“We are excited to host the Go Wild With Weaving exhibition this year,” says MONZA Gallery owner and manager Philly Hall. This is a first for the gallery – and also the first time the exhibition has included artists from outside the Bay. There are seven artists exhibiting their works including guest entrant and master weaver Ruth Castle (aged 90), a career weaver of over five decades. Ruth’s pieces are held in collections from Te Papa to Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira. Other artists featured include Nicola Basham, Bronwynn Billens, Ruth Castle, Tanya Doty, Yvonne Hammond, Sarah Hornibrooke and Deb Price. Gallery visitors will be treated to an array of 40-plus pieces from both local and national artists with materials including harakeke (flax), willow, cane, kiekie, cotton, cabbage tree and copper. “The theme is weaving, but the pieces are diverse,” says local weaver Deb Price, describing the st yles as “a contemporary twist on traditional techniques”. The works include intricate baskets woven and stitched with feathers from Deb Price, a bird house made of willow by Nicola Basham, and a series of “Beautiful Burdens” by Yvonne Hammond using harakeke,

stones and shells. The pieces refer to the troubled times we are in and the burdens we carry… both small and large. Deb tells The GB Weekly that basketry is one of the [weaving] disciplines that spans from the purely practical to being an art form. “Weaving is a big continuum. It is mostly natural fibre based and many of the materials can be grown or sourced from your own garden. Interestingly, baskets are one of the few things that can’t be made by a machine, therefore every woven article you see is made by hand.” MONZA Gallery is a long-time supporter of local fibre artists. “Its easy to spot a weaver in the gallery,” says co-manager Nic Wooding,
“when they pick up a basket they will always turn it upside down”. Examination of the base is to establish how the basket has been designed and created as it built from the ground up. Its base or bottom is made first. Nic says the exhibition will be characterised “by the diversity that weaving encompasses. Every piece is very individual, innovative and imaginative. The pieces are both practical and art based, including examples of vessels, baskets and hangings”. The exhibition runs in partnership with the Go Wild With Weaving Workshop held in Collingwood over Anzac weekend. Works will be on display and for sale from 10 to 23 April.
Fundraising Matariki calendar RONNIE SHORT
Celebrating 40 years of Te Ataarangi ki te Tauihu o Te Wakaa-Māui, this year’s release of the Matariki calendar is a taonga. Illustrated by Robin Slow and gifted by he and his wife Rose, it is a tribute to the success of four decades of te reo Māori teachings across the top of the South Island. Te Ataarangi utilises cuisenaire rods, known as rākau, and spoken language. The point of difference is the focus on listening and speaking the reo. Developed from The Silent Way Method created by Caleb Gattegno, the methodology has been developed to incorporate tikanga Māori. Manawhenua ki Mohua have supported the growth of the reo in Mohua since 2005. Local kuia, Meirangi Reiher, was the instigator of inviting kaiako to bring Te Ataarangi to Golden Bay. The late Rangitahi Hanigan and her team travelled from Motueka for 10 years. By then a group of local emanating kaiako were trained, who now continue the reo classes in Mohua. Chrissy Piper is one of the original tutors from Motueka. She began her learning journey in 1992, emerging as a kaiako 10 years later. Now she stands as a pouako with a leadership role in the kaupapa. “The kaupapa of Te Ataarangi is about more than just the reo. It’s about the health of the complete human – spirit, mind and body. It’s about every individual being able to find and reach their own potential – that’s really the guts of Te Ataarangi. It is acknowledged as making a significant contribution to the revitalisation of te reo Māori nationally. The rewards for all learners under this kaupapa are immense,” said Chrissy. Personally, her journey has been growthful, as she explains. “The inclusiveness of the kaupapa has allowed me to grow my understanding of a Māori world view. It has allowed me to evolve as a person of Aotearoa, and my desire to understand what behaviour you must bring to the picture when it’s about ‘Us’ and not ‘Me’. That’s my bottom line.” For Chrissy it was an honour to work with Robin and Mat Tait, graphic artist, to create the celebratory calendar. “This is a major fundraiser for our community organisation, and an endeavour to further normalise the use of te reo Māori in homes...the first four maramataka focused on stunning views of the Top of the South, but this year we have signalled a move towards celebrating our local artists.” THE GB WEEKLY, THURSDAY 14 APRIL 2022

With just over a week to go before the rugby season starts, players and coaches are gearing up for the big kick-off. Match day one of the Nelson Bays Senior B competition will see both of Golden Bay’s senior teams begin their campaigns with home fixtures on Saturday 23 April. There are 11 teams competing in the Senior B division with each side playing five home and five away games plus one bye. The semi-finals are scheduled for Saturday 16 July, with the final held the following weekend. Collingwood Rugby Football Club coach Graeme Miller is “feeling positive” and says he his players are well prepared and eager to begin the defence of their title. “We’ve been training for eight weeks including fitness training.” Squad numbers are “about the same” as last year, says Graeme. “We’ve lost six, but gained six.” One of those lost is arguably the stand-out performer from the 2021 championshipwinning side. “Daniel Dixon has gone to the [Senior] ‘A’s.”
As well as incorporating new players, Graeme says he will be looking at tactical changes. “We’ll be trialling different patterns of play and see whether they work.” But the field experiment will have to wait until the competition begins. “There are no preseason games; it was difficult to arrange with Covid around.” Although Covid is likely to be going around for a while, the Tasman Rugby Union has made contingency plans, explains Graeme. “They’ve put procedures in place in case games have to be called off.” Joining the coach on the sidelines are his assistant Pete Taylor and manager Roz Miller, along with less visible, but no less important, backers. “A big thanks to our sponsors,” says Graeme, who sees the beginning of the season as the start of something bigger than just the game. “We are looking forward to bringing the community back together.” For more information on Collingwood Rugby Football Club Collingwood visit Facebook orFixtures email: crfc1889@gmail.com

Tom Bassett-Eason releases the ball to start another Takaka attack in last season game against Nelson. File Photo.
Tākaka Rugby Football Club’s president shares Graeme’s optimistic outlook. “We’ve got good numbers - 28 committed players,” says Anthony Tait. “The majority are under 20 but there are some older heads, including myself.” Anthony is happy to see younger players assume senior responsibilities “They’ve taken ownership of the team – that’s what we’ve been pushing for over the last couple of years.” The youthful core includes the skipper Tom Bassett-Eason. “He’s been instrumental in getting the team going, says Anthony. “He’s had a couple of years and he’s taken leadership.” Coaches Hamish Hills and Steve Hambrook will oversee the squad after John Hills handed the reigns over to a new generation. But the veteran is unlikely to disappear altogether, says Anthony. “He’ll still be floating around.” Takaka’s opening match is against Wanderers, but eyes are already turning to the “Classico” against local rivals Collingwood, which is scheduled two-thirds of the way through the season.

April 1 was a significant day at the Old School Café, Pakawau, as two couples swapped roles. Having sold the popular café after 14 years, Robbie Duncan and Wendy Williams can now find a seat at a dining table, while Wendy Warren and James Grant take their places in the kitchen and behind the bar. Pakawau’s old school was built in 1953. Children attended over 30 years before it closed and students were bussed to Collingwood Area School. Many past pupils still go to the school for their “continuing education”, swapping a desk for a dining table, and lunch box for an excellent meal. Robbie came from an engineering background and Wendy was working in a bakery when the café came on the market in 2008. Wendy had family connections to Pakawau and was keen to make the move. Robbie didn’t even know where the place was. Even though it was a cold, wet day in September when they viewed it, they were keen, and opened on Labour Weekend with only one staff member and hit the ground running. Wendy said that when they got to bed at 3am, with the café opening again at 9am, she wondered what they were doing. But from that beginning they have both enjoyed their “school days”. “There have been late nights, but we have had a lot of fun.” The blackboard menu is “kiwiana”, which Robbie and Wendy expanded, adding pizza and burgers as well. They leased the café for five years, and in 2013 bought the land and buildings. As their term finishes, with plans to move north closer to family, they reflect on 14 years of Old School life. Both agree that it has been hard work but are positive, saying, “The business has been really good to us...in spite of Covid.” They have hosted birthdays, weddings, funerals and many Christmas functions, have met hundreds of people, and especially enjoy seeing families coming back for their annual Pakawau holiday, and kids from the camp visiting each year.

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.

Robbie also gives a “big thanks to all the locals who have supported us. Fourteen years is a long time and we have watched children grow up.” Wendy really appreciates all the staff who have come through. “It’s been good to see them work hard, make some money and buy their first bike or car.” Chai, the café cat, was a popular attraction and they leave his grave in the garden. Robbie’s advice to new owners, Wendy and James, is “learn to do everything”. There has been two weeks’ transition with both couples working together, but last weekend (9/10 April) was the final graduation for departing staff. The “new” Wendy also has family connections to Pakawau and is looking forward to her Old School time, joking that she will stay 15 years to beat the record. She is a caregiver and James has building skills, and they have been regulars at the café on the other side of the bar. They are grateful for this opportunity to own their own business, saying that “nothing will change and all the staff will stay”. The usual Friday, Saturday and Sunday night meals will continue. They are considering opening for longer hours, and a pool team and quiz nights are possibilities. James is keen on low and slow smoking meat, so there may be a brisket and rib meal night. Wendy’s interest is butterflies, so her dream is to create a butterfly space in the now empty, abandoned school swimming pool out the back. She also has three cats who could take Chai’s place by the fire. The onsite cottage will be available for rent as the couple already have a Pakawau home. When the café went on the market there was much concern among diners about whether their old school would close again, maybe becoming another holiday house. But under its new ownership, school will still be open, classes will be “in” and all ages are welcome to attend. No enrolments required but bookings recommended.
