Dancing the Light Fantastic

An appreciative crowd turned out at dusk on a brisk Saturday evening to enjoy a free dance performance of “Light Fantastic”, held on the Junction Green, courtesy of Dance Collective Mohua (DCM). It was indeed an “outdoor extravaganza of light shadow and dance”, notwithstanding the spectacular evening sky; the music, lighting and choreography were tight and clever, rolling out yet another example of talent, hard work and good entertainment on offer in Golden Bay. Despite the descending cold air, a festive family atmosphere was
achieved through the arrival of people with chairs, cushions, blankets and even hot water bottles, and hot drink and soup was available alongside. While the group’s main performances have usually been presented at the end of the year in the Pōhara Hall, this new arrangement is now set to become an annual event for DCM. “It was time to break the norm, the usual pattern of indoor, end-of-year event,” said directive creator, founder and dance tutor Cynthia Lorrian. “Covid malarky and endof-year pressures that families are generally under became a weight too hard to bear, so
the DCM teachers decided to find out what an open-air mid-winter ‘light in the dark’ kind of thing would look and feel like…Awesome as it turned out!” “Light Fantastic” is the name that will remain as long as the event exists. This year it included 60 performers and five teachers, the whole made up of DCM classes, Milo Haigh classes and the Deva Singh Hiphop class. The collective is grateful for the support of the Rata Foundation and the owners of the Junction Green, which enabled it to be a free community event. dancecollectivemohua@gmail.com

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 8 JULY 2022
Last week’s annual Fonterra community meeting was well attended by inquisitive and engaged residents who certainly put the presenters through their paces. The audience included local farmers, shareholders, representatives of the Greens Party and sustainability strategist Debbie Pearson, all of whom had plenty to contribute to the discussion. Fonterra environmental manager Zarah Willemsen led the presentation, which showcased progress in reducing some of farming’s environmental detriments, including a 20 per cent reduction in onfarm emissions over the last 25 years. Looking to the near future, aspirations include 100 per cent reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging and zero landfill waste by 2025, and no more coal use at any plant by 2037. A strong current focus is decarbonising operations, with plants at Brightwater and Te Awamutu now converted from coal to wood-chip burning, and the Stirling plant in Balclutha being specifically fitted for non-coal use. Questions from the audience helped to clarify agreed definitions for some of the targets discussed, as well as focusing on animal welfare and querying some of the drawbacks inherent in wood-chip burning, including ash deposits. Upper South Island operations manager Chris Win acknowledged that balancing temperature and energy output was still being trialled, but believes the ultimate benefits in reduced emissions and energy consumption would be well worth it. Chris also mentioned that reduced emissions were even extending to their fleet, with the first E-tanker in testing. The presentation ended by highlighting the performance of the Tākaka plant itself, which processes up to 560,000 litres of milk per day during peak season, from 76 local farms. The resulting 60 tonnes of skimmed milk powder is mostly destined for the overseas market, which continues to be turbulent. A drawback of the current Ukrainian crisis is the discontinuation of dealings with Russia, who apparently imported our butter but little else. The meeting was more of a conversation than a passive presentation. Fonterra will be left in no doubt that while Golden Bay supports local industry, the environment has become the prime consideration for an increasing amount of residents and farmers.

Bright sun was ver y opportune at the Tākaka Cohousing construc tion site in Meihana Street, last Wednesday. The day had been marked for the pouring of the concrete pads for the first four homes, a notable landmark in the development of this project. While a towering crane suspended the hose gushing wet cement for a team of b u i l d e r s to s p re a d a n d smooth, members of the excited project team arrived on site. Marketing coordinator Ngarie Jones was delighted to see – literally – concrete evidence of progress, and shared a recent update. “Up until this week we had sold 30 homes out of 34,” she recounted, but after a recent burst of publicity two more homes are now under contract. “So potentially there’s only a three bedroom and a single-storey three bedroom unit still available.” The development existed only on plans up until now, so seeing the poured concrete slabs solidly delineating the outlines of homes brought the project to life for the team. “Sollys have completed the earthworks, and even after a few weeks of rain are back on track and the timeline is looking good,” added Ngarie. “We are building the first

neighbourhood in three ‘clusters’, with the first cluster due for completion in April 2023.” The third and last cluster will be completed by the end of next year. One of the residents had requested that a poem be read over the foundation of her new house, and for handprints to be made in the concrete to signify the help she had received in becoming a homeowner. Expressing good-natured mock horror at this marking of the perfectly smooth concrete was project manager Steve Lawson, from Signature Homes. Steve is happy enough with the project to have made an extra commitment. Not only has he moved to Golden Bay permanently, but is looking seriously at buying one of the homes himself.
In terms of ongoing construction, he conceded that international supply issues may cause snags, but everything had been ordered. “My aim is to have all the slabs in this cluster, and the common house, poured by the end of next month. Frames arrive on 8 July, and we should also see a roof on this unit by the end of next month.” After years of research and development the project has become a reality, and is hoped to become a vibrant addition to the community. Monthly drop-in meetings are being held for anyone who would like to find out more about Tākaka Cohousing at their office in 65a Commercial St (in front of Work and Income). The first will be at 11am on Thursday 21 July.
COVID BOOSTERS NOW AVAILABLE A second booster is recommended for those at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 – a minimum of 6 months after a first booster. If you have recently had Covid, you are advised to delay your second booster for 3 months. For those who are not considered at risk of severe illness from COVID-19, a two-dose primary course and a booster dose provides very good protection against severe illness from COVID-19. The following people are recommended to receive a second booster as a priority: • people aged 65 years and over • Māori and Pacific peoples aged 50 years and over • residents of aged care and disability care facilities • severely immunocompromised people who received a three-dose primary course and a fourth dose as a first booster (noting this would be a fifth dose for these people) • people aged 16 years and over who have a medical condition that increases the risk of severe breakthrough COVID-19 illness and • people aged 16 years and over who live with disability with significant or complex health needs or multiple comorbidities. In addition, a second booster is available for: • all people aged over 50 years • health, aged care and disability workers aged over 30 years.
The concrete pad is rapidly spread and smoothed as another Tākaka cohousing home begins to take shape. Photo: Alistair Hughes.

“Everyone in this room knows cacao. The Western connection [to cacao] is to chocolate,” says Sally Huapaya, presenting to a full house at the Sustainable Living Centre (SLC) last Sunday evening. “However, for Peruvians, cacao – meaning ‘food of the heart’– is a traditional botanical known for its mood-elevating properties.” Sally, a native Peruvian of Andean descent, and her NZ husband Dr Corin Storkey are on a mission to educate New Zealanders and the world about ancient plant wisdom, substantiating this knowledge with modern scientific research. The couple formed Seleno Health, a natural health company that collaborates with a sustainable Peruvian farm to produce, manufacture and package cacao products that are distributed internationally. Their story began seven years ago when Corin was a medical chemist working in the pharmaceutical industry, though “a scientific hippy at heart”. He suffered depression and chronic fatigue in his twenties, but it was not until he travelled to Peru, met Sally and explored alternative therapies, that he healed. “I had everything, but I did not feel complete – I lacked joy in my life even though I was ticking all the [conventional] boxes. “I was fascinated by Andean culture, people and plants. She [Sally] started feeding me macca – ‘this is for your brain’ , then introduced me to cacao – ‘this is for your heart’.” The couple presented the past, present and future of cacao.
Sally, providing stories from her elders on the history of cacoa, learned from working the land, observing nature and cycles of the moon. She described the traditional cacao ceremony, which activates senses of sight, touch, taste and hearing, and smell. Corin provided the biomedical context and his work with Callaghan Innovation to build a biochemical map of cacao. Their objective is “to create a therapeutic profile on the basis of chemistry linking the science with ancient knowledge,” he says. They are attempting to measure the emotions that cacao generates, with frequently reported feelings of being uplifted, bliss, clarity of thought, vitality and joy. Cacao “is just a toolkit to allow you to unlock the magic of your brain,” says Corin. Presentation attendee Daniele Bonacini was enthusiastic about his experience of the presentation and told The GB Weekly: “I believe in the very ancient knowledge that connects the ancient population around the world. I believe that food is medicine and tradition and the knowledge that will take us into the future.” Throughout the presentation a delicious aroma of warm chocolate permeated the room as Sally prepared a cacao drink for the group to share. The GB Weekly is happy to report the taste is like a warm velvety cream, followed by a sensation of gentle peace, and satiation without any loss of coherence. Best of all, it is all perfectly legal – as cacao is classed as nutritional, not medicinal. Seleno health products can be purchased online via www. selenohealth.com or at Golden Bay Organics.

I feel it is important to politely note that no business can overrule the government-issued mask exemptions. Please, if you have personal issues relating to people with a government-issued exemption card, then you need to take your personal issues up with your representatives in government. Mask exemptions are an Act of Parliament, just like the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act and the Misuse of Drugs Act. Trying to claim your business is exempt from government policy is illegitimate. Where is your “business exception card” that states your business is exempt from selling illegal drugs, alcohol to minors, or has some imaginary right to dictate what people wear or not? Please in future have your “business exemption cards” on display for legal validation. Otherwise, your company policy claims are an act of fraud; you do not have legal authority to overrule Acts of Government. Unless, of course, you can provide valid evidence to the contrary. Thank you for being professional. Joni Bridge People who have genuine reasons for not being able to wear a face mask can apply though the Ministry of Health website for a new personalised exemption card. The new cards are legally recognised as conclusive proof of a person’s exempt status, which the old, non-personalised cards are not. - Ed

Confine cats, conserve wildlife
Regarding recent letters sent about cats by Louise Amitrano and Lethea Erz (GBW 1/7); Louise, toxoplasmosis is formed only when the parasite passes through a feline gut. Therefore, other contaminated animals, and also food, must have directly or indirectly come into contact with cat faeces. The bell suggested won’t prevent a cat from contaminating my garden. Louise is taking responsibilty by building a catio. All credit to her. But costs can be reduced by using secondhand materials. Your cat will reward you with less vet bills, more attention,
and a longer life. Responsibility has to be key to animal ownership whether pets or farm animals. I can’t afford vet bills; that therefore prevents me from owning a dog, unfortunately. Lethea realises that lack of responsibility has created feral cats. But it’s unfortunate she values their presence over that of our iconic native species which can’t survive alongside them. Aotearoa was free of land predators. Arriving cat owners allowed them to conveniently feed from our wildlife which has no defence. Cats are generally considered a “cheap” pet, being allowed to destroy at will for food. The time has come for cat regulations to restrict their damaging propensities which must be acknowledged by owners. Lethea is right to say we humans, being irresponsible “have upset nature’s balance and must now try to restore it”. Do so by providing an interesting confined space and giving more time to entertain your pet. If you can’t do that, don’t get a cat. Karen Brookes
Troublesome trespassing cats
There is currently much in the news media, in letters to the local paper and in posts on social media about cats. The debate for and against covers such issues as the spread of toxoplasmosis and protection of wildlife. However, I don’t believe one of the key issues about cats is being addressed in this debate. That issue is cat trespass. I would like to ask cat owners who promote feline freedom (the right for their cats to wander anywhere and everywhere) a question: Why is it okay for their cats to be on my private property, defecating in my vegetable gardens and killing the birds that I have encouraged here, by providing habitat and a food source? I like cats, I just don’t want them on my private property. Cynthia McConville

Golden Bay Kindergarten whānau and staff enjoyed a double celebration on Thursday 23 June. Along with their Matariki commemorations, they held a belated celebration of Te Whare Mohua. Originally dubbed “te whare iti”, the little house was given its new title by Manawhenua ki Mohua during the blessing ceremony, which was held in March. At that time Covid restrictions limited numbers, so only staff and manawhenua could participate in the occasion. Exterior panels on Te Whare Mohua were carved at Te Awhina Marae in Motueka. Each piece has a special meaning. Artist Robin Slow helped kindergarten whānau to create the design for the kowhaiwhai panelling, which is yet to be placed into the whare’s interior. Since the March blessing, tamariki have been able to enjoy learning in Te Whare Mohua but when Matariki rolled around, it was the perfect opportunity for everyone to celebrate. Beginning at 4pm, kindergarten staff and tamariki welcomed people with a toia mai (haka). Interim head teacher Rochelle Nicholls’ speech of welcome was followed by a karakia and a waiata. Kaiako Rebecca Olney, who is currently on study leave, gave an opening speech and thanked everybody involved. Ben Knoef then spoke about the building of the whare iti, which he undertook with his Golden Bay High School students. The
project took two-and-a-half years due to Covid interruptions. Stepping into their waka (decking area), the children then performed three waiata, followed by their annual rendition of a play Tataraimaka and the Matariki Stars. The audience and tamariki then visited te ngahere (the bush) at the nearby community gardens, for a teddy bear treasure hunt and lantern walk. After the walk, everyone was served a cup of hot soup and bread, while staff prepared to serve the hāngī food, and whānau members lit three outdoor fire pits. Sitting at picnic tables or on mats outside, everyone enjoyed their kai under lanterns and solar lights adorning the surrounding trees. The fire pits were put to good use for the toasting of marshmallows, along with star biscuits to complete the hākari (feast). Rochelle said: “It was a beautiful time for us to all be together as our kindergarten community and celebrate two very meaningful events.” She acknowledged the staff for their hard work throughout all the disruptions over the past two years: Lesley Hopkins, Casey Coburn, Heather Kearon, Karen Burnett, Molina Bilsborough, teacher aids Bridie Griffiths and Jennifer Terry, and administrator Jessica Dench. A kindergarten parent summed up the event, saying, “We loved the Matariki show and all the food; the children and teachers were amazing”.

Sheep and beef farmers recently gathered for “Know Your Numbers” workshop. Farmers know lots of numbers: lambing percentages, soiltest figures, budgeted expenditures, ewe weights, condition scores, lamb growth rates, pasture covers and effective areas. This workshop, facilitated by the Rural Service Centre and Beef and Lamb NZ, was about knowing a new number: their Greenhouse Gas (GHG). Your GHG number is as simple as calculating A plus B minus C – with a little online help. Figures for opening and closing stock numbers are required to record animals on hand and movements during 12 months. Added to that are quantities of fertiliser used during the year, including lime, superphosphate and nitrogen. The online calculator converts this information to figures for methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions. Then sequestrations are subtracted by typing in hectares of woody vegetation on the farm, with different rates calculated depending on species, age and canopy cover. Every NZ farm is required to establish its GHG number by the end of 2022. Most dairy farms have completed this exercise, with sheep and beef farmers now working on it. For various reasons, the average age of a sheep farmer is currently about 64 years old, internet is often limited in more isolated places, and bookwork is not top of the things-to-do list. So, instead of spending the day on a tractor seat looking at stock and trees through windscreens, the group spent time on Rec Centre chairs looking at stocking rates and vegetation areas on computer screens. The level of computer skills in the room (including this reporter’s) was generally not high. Nevertheless, by lunchtime, with support and encouragement, most participants had a calculated GHG number. Afternoon was discussion time. What does this number mean? Are there ways to mitigate it? The course workbook states: “Let’s be clear from the start – for extensive sheep and beef farmers there are very few options to significantly reduce methane without reducing an already low stocking rate.” However, genetics can be employed to breed low-methane sheep. Selecting certain pasture species, like plantain, may lower nitrogen output. The aim is also to develop more efficient farm systems to produce more meat and wool from the same amount of feed eaten. Farmers have been achieving more with less for
generations to stay viable. Since 1990, ewe numbers have decreased by a massive 58 per cent, with only an 8 per cent reduction in lambs produced. Lambing percentages have increased with better twin survival, so further improvement means rearing triplets. More efficiency is now required, but with no increase in GHG. Planting trees is another option, both exotic and indigenous, to offset emissions. The vital number that is not yet available is what the cost will be if emissions are higher than sequestrations and the GHG number is positive. This figure will not be known until later in the year, when the government makes decisions on the Emissions Trading Scheme, its primary industries partnership He Waka Eke Noa, and the pricing of GHG. The workshop presenter was reluctant to speculate, but commented that farmers will need to target high-value markets, and food will become too expensive for NZ consumers. If the GHG price is too high then production will drop in NZ, resulting in more food produced from less carbon-efficient farming countries, overall increasing the problem that we are supposed to be solving. This scheme is not designed to address the crucial problem of long-lived carbon dioxide from fossil fuels. This year’s Beef and Lamb NZ June analysis predicts extensive sheep and beef farms will be most likely to “feel the squeeze” because of low stocking rates, high proportions of breeding stock and low profit margins. Not encouraging news. We apply no nitrogen fertiliser, have already dropped ewe numbers significantly, increased lambing percentage, and have many hectares of scrub and bush. On current figures for the Wyllie farm, it looks like a serious fivedigit number of dollars added to our annual costs. Now we have contributed to achieving that 100 per cent of farmers identifying their GHG number, the next step is for all farms to have a written plan to measure and manage GHG emissions by 2025 and “consider future decision making”. More workshops, discussions and bookwork will be needed to “demonstrate that farmers are running businesses responsibly” and “assessing impacts of future pricing”. Plenty to ponder in the paddock while campervans drive by and jets fly over. I wonder what their numbers might be and what might be in their written plans to actually reduce emissions, rather than simply offsetting GHG.

Tākaka ended their season last Saturday with a stirring performance but it wasn’t enough to deny victory to visitors Huia Hawks in the Senior Rugby Division 2 clash. Despite outscoring their opponents, four tries to three, an off-day for Tākaka’s kickers saw eight crucial points go begging. But it was a day for celebrating country rugby, rather than mourning a loss, as the large crowd at the Rec Park relished 80 minutes of top class entertainment. The show started early with the Hawks scoring their first try after only three minutes. Two minutes later, the home side came close to levelling, but the promising attack broke down just yards from the try line, and it was Huia who extended their lead with a long-range penalty kick. It took Tākaka another 10 minutes to register their first points – a try scored by Jack Hill following a scrum awarded well inside the opposition’s 22. Five minutes later the turnaround was complete when Chris Oakden touched down to give the home side a 10-8 advantage.
That advantage was short-lived, however, as the Hawks added a couple of converted tries to their tally and established a half time lead of 10-22. When the teams emerged after the break, it was clear that Tākaka weren’t going to go down without a fight; and fight they did, right to the final whistle, trading tries with the Hawks. Reggie Baker bagged a five-pointer for the home side to close the gap to seven points, and it stayed that way for 15 minutes until the visitors restored the deficit. The tit-for-tat battle continued with Justin Davis’s try taking the score to 20-27 just five minutes before full-time. Tākaka now threw the kitchen sink at Huia in a last-ditch effort to salvage at least the draw they deserved, but the visitors’ defence held firm and the match finished with no further points added by either side. Speaking immediately after the match, Tākaka co-coach Hamish Hills expressed mixed feelings. “We didn’t do the fundamentals right, but the last 10 minutes was awesome, unreal. I’m really proud of the boys and looking forward to next season.”

Senior netball restarted again after a few weeks break, and everyone was pleased to get back into it. The juniors meanwhile finished their season on Sunday with a tournament, before finals and prizegiving. It’s fair to say that the skill levels have improved massively through the season and it was great to see that development showcased in the tournament. The grand final was played between Tākaka Primary and Motupipi School in a hotly contested game which Tākaka won by a single point, with the final score at 7-6.
Prizegiving was hosted in the clubrooms where the kids enjoyed hot chips. A massive thank you everyone who helped out throughout the entire season, from the coaches, the junior netball committee, the refs, bench/scorers/timekeepers, the cooks, Goodness2Go for the coffees and the wonderful sponsors NBS (hats, drink bottles and bags) and Diggs Ltd (mini trophies).

On home turf: Collingwood dug deep to keep a clean sheet against Nelson and record their first win of the season. Photo: Charlotte Richards. CHARLOTTE RICHARDS
Collingwood and their loyal supporters finally had something to cheer about last Saturday as the Black & Gold picked up their first win of the season. In their penultimate fixture of the Senior Division 2 round robin competition, Collingwood chalked up a home victory over a spirited Nelson side. The home side have a tendency to start slowly on occasions – and they did exactly that on Saturday, but Nelson’s Blues were also slow to find their rhythm. Collingwood perhaps edged the opening encounters and had an opportunity to pull ahead when awarded a makeable penalty, but were unable to convert. The missed kick seemed to re-boot the home side, who gradually turned the screw on Nelson with a series of attacks, and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before they would turn their superiority into points. Despite their dominance, and a succession of ferocious attacks, Collingwood were struggling to get the ball over the try line – something they have found difficult all season. Their cause was not helped when skipper Ryan McKay’s name was added to a long injury list – another factor that has contributed to the club’s difficult season. But persistence eventually paid off when, with 36 minutes on
the clock, the Black & Gold won a line out and displayed some good flowing rugby which ended in a try for Kodie DodsonHerron. A conversion from Brad Goulsbro’s reliable right boot gave the home side a 7-0 lead going into the break. The second half continued in the same vein with Collingwood on the attack but it came at the cost of yet more injuries. Following 15 minutes of pressing forward, the home side doubled their advantage, when a scrum led to a neat interchange of passes and set up Josh Roberts to score. Although Collingwood now led 14-0, it was far from game over; the Blues dug deep in feisty fight back, but Collingwood managed to dig deeper and ended the match with a clean sheet. The result places Collingwood level on points with next week’s opponents, Waimea Old Boys, while it condemns the Blues to finish the season bottom of the division. Speaking after the match, Collingwood coach Graeme Miller was clearly pleased with the result. “It was nice to get a win; it made us smile a bit.” But he was not so happy with a campaign plagued by injuries. “We lost another two; we seem to lose two a game.” Fortunately the coach has been able to draw on a large squad. “We’ve used a lot of players,” said Graeme. “It’s good to have 31 players willing to turn up.”
Stingrays sink, Mountain Goats climb JO RICHARDS
Golden Bay Stingrays suffered a 1-9 defeat against Nelson Suburbs Athletico at the Rec Park last Saturday. Th e v i s i t o r s’ r u t h l e s s finishing exploited some defensive lapses by the home side who also missed a penalty in the first half. There was better news for Golden Bay’s Division 2 side, the Mountain Goats, who beat FC Nelson Reserves 3-0 – a win that takes them up into third spot. In the women’s league, the Shield Maidens had a bye while Wahine Toa lost their Division 2 away fixture 1-0 to Māpua Cougars.

NELSON MARLBOROUGH HEALTH | NELSON (03) 546 1800 | MARLBOROUGH (03) 520 9999
END OF AN ERA: Farewell District Health Boards Jenny Black (right) has been elected to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (DHB) since 2007 and has held the position of Board Chair, since 2010. Despite the health reform meaning locally elected Boards will become redundant from the 1 July, Jenny is supportive of a nationally-led, locally-delivered approach. The new Health NZ entity will need to tackle hard fought issues such workforce challenges and achieving health equity for all New Zealanders. Jenny Black ‘grew-up’ in the health system, coming to Nelson in 1982 as a newly graduated dietitian. She worked for nearly 10 years as a clinical dietician in the hospital wards before switching to become a public health dietician, working to keep people out of hospital.
“The independence that strong financial stewardship affords us, is something that people in Nelson Marlborough can be really proud of and is a tribute to the many staff who have been part of the Nelson Marlborough Health whānau since 2001.”
As chair of the Board she has led the Nelson Marlborough Health strategy, appointed Chief Executives and held the senior leadership to account, ensuring operational delivery on the strategy within the funding envelope provided by the government.
Once the spotlight on the strategic financial position was under control, the Board strategy shifted to the future of health in Te Tauihu (Top of the South).
“I’ve been on the Board during four Chief Executives, and had the privilege of appointing three of them. The relationships with those people has been really important to me. While we didn’t always need to agree, our sense of purpose needed to align, with mutual respect, to ensure we could work together through some really tough conversations.”
“It is appalling to me, that in Aotearoa FREE today, weENTRY have people dying five to ten years younger, because of their race; because they can’t or chose not to access services, as they are unable to see their own faces or voices in those services. To me that is something we need to deal with.”

“As a Board, whenever we made a strategy, we weighed up the risks involved in doing certain work with the risk of not doing other work. Needing to look at the bigger picture and asking what does that mean in four years’ time, what is the continuation of the conversation and how can we mitigate risk – because there is always risk.”
“It was about this time we were having conversations around the co-location of Te Piki Oranga (Māori health provider) with the Primary Health Organisations (Nelson Bay Primary Health and Marlborough Primary Health Organisation) in Richmond and Blenheim and the DHB’s Public Health Units.”
The structure of the District Health Board allowed “We had been talking about health inequity since for seven officials elected by the community with 2001 and we are still talking about it now. In 2016, Manawatia a Matariki a further four positions appointed by the Minister we prioritised equity initiatives and really saw of Health to fill any gaps within the makeup of the some movement. Te Piki Oranga was born, Te Waka elected group. Hauora started taking on a life of its own and we put more emphasis on employing Māori workforce and “As chair of the Board I was very fortunate to have initiatives like Hapū Māmā and others.” deputies with great financial acumen. People who have been able to ask a lot of detailed financial “Until you put that emphasis in your strategic plan, questions and hold the organisation to account. At the not much happens. You have to dedicate the money end of the day we are using tax payers’ money and we to it and hand it over to the people who are going to have to be very careful about how we do that.” provide that kaupapa Māori service.”
“If we are going to be smart about how we really deal with our problems, planning them nationally and delivering them locally, really makes sense to me.” “If we can reduce variation across the country by removing the DHB system, then I think that is a big win.”
HEALTH REFORM PRINCIPLES We’re transforming the health system to better: •
meet the complex demands of a growing population
Boosters are the best way to keep Omicron out of your whare.
“It is no secret that the finances have always been tight. District Health Boards have generally run deficits. I’ve noticed that each time you do quite a big building project you end up going into deficit because you end up with an increase in capital charge and an increase in depreciation.”
• address the persistent inequalities experienced “It is appalling to me, that in Aotearoa today, we have by Māori people dying five to ten years younger, because of their race; because they can’t or chose not to access • ensure greater access, experience and services, as they are unable to see their own faces or outcomes for those traditionally not well If your kura are yet to be vaccinated, voices in those services. To me that is something we aged tamariki served by the system – Māori, Pasifika and need to deal with.” bring them along so you can all get protected together. Disabled People
“For example after the Wairau Hospital build in 2011 our finances took a dip and we were in the red for quite a long period after that, maybe three or four years. We added some really strong disciplines which have enabled us to be a better performer today.”
“I am incredibly grateful to our workforce, who come in every day to make a difference. From those at the coalface to the people who keep the wheels welloiled and the organisation moving - thank you. You have embodied our values and collectively supported our communities to live well, get well and stay well.”
“It means we have been able to put money aside for a rainy day and the rainy day has certainly arrived. We are now able to do things from our balance sheet that other DHBs just aren’t able to do. We are planning a new Nelson Hospital to open around 2030, however prior to that there are up to 30 infrastructure projects that need to occur to ensure service sustainability.”

The property offers a covered patio between the large double garage which is handy trips to and from the car. A storage room for all your gardening needs, second separate laundry, and toilet go hand in hand with the long line at the rear.
