Paying tribute to the many hands that the button to ignite a spectacular 10-minute Sunday evening’s Fireworks Extravaganza display that crackled and boomed and lit up helped to make the evening a success, Claire went off with a bang – well, quite a few bangs the night sky with multicoloured starbursts. said: “We’d like to extend a special mention to actually.

Tuesday’s meeting of Golden Bay Community Board began as usual with a karakia, followed by Public Forum. Public Forum Two contributions addressed the same topic – the proposed disability parking space located immediately outside Collingwood’s general store On the Spot. TDC councillor Chris Hill read out correspondence from the store’s owner Rosemary Moretti which pointed out that it would create problems and suggested that the space would be better situated on the opposite side of the road. Rosemary’s letter also requested that a time limit of 30-60 minutes should be introduced for parking on Tasman Street. Reg Turner then made his statement, explaining that, while he had initially suggested disability parking provision, he also believed the allocated space should be located on the opposite side of the road. “I endorse what Rosemary says.” Later in the meeting during Chair’s Report, board chair Abbie Langford volunteered to follow up the issue with TDC transportation staff Robert Deck and Jamie McPherson. Presentations: Two presentations were made to the board. Mohua 2042: Debbie Pearson said it had been “quite a journey” to produce the initiative’s recently-published strategy document. She provided an overview of the three-year process, which she said had involved capturing the community’s vision, identifying gaps between current practice and aspirations, and developing projects. She highlighted current “flagship projects” including Project Mohua, GB Affordable Housing, and Farming 2030, as well as future “aspiration projects” focused on local food, sustainable education, and renewable energy. Debbie explained that in order to take the “next steps” Mohua 2042 would need to establish a trust to provide the necessary governance, and asked for the board to endorse the strategy, and to provide seed funding of $500 to help establish the trust. Acting GBCB chair Grant Knowles suggested that all board members read the strategy document which would be discussed at next month’s meeting.

TEMPORARY POWER INTERRUPTION FOR GOLDEN BAY

11PM TUESDAY 26 JULY – 3AM WEDNESDAY 27 JULY Network Tasman advises that power will be interrupted to Golden Bay for four hours from 11PM Tuesday 26 July to 3AM Wednesday 27 July, excluding the Takaka Valley Highway area from Pigville Road south to Upper Takaka. This outage will allow our contractor to continue the essential work at the Motupipi Substation. Most of the electricity distributed in Golden Bay goes through this substation and the work is required to ensure a reliable power supply to the area. Unfortunately, the work cannot be undertaken while the substation is in service. If the shutdown needs to be postponed the alternate date is 11AM 28 July – 3PM 29 July. For your protection treat all lines, electrical installations and wiring as live during the shutdown. Please turn off stoves and heaters, and all sensitive electronic equipment before the shutdown, and ensure that they remain turned off until the power is restored. If a member of your household is medically dependent on electricity you should register their dependence with your energy retailer.

Network Tasman regrets any inconvenience caused by this event. Please telephone us on 0800 508 098 if you have any questions or concerns. N E T W O R K TA S M A N L I M I T E D I S 1 0 0 % O W N E D B Y T H E N E T W O R K TA S M A N T R U S T 2

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 15 JULY 2022

GB Community Board - July Continued from page 1 ...Licensing Policy. He explained that the new policy aims to develop a clear and equitable framework for providing leases and licenses to community groups that use council land or facilities. An early engagement exercise is under way and Neil encouraged community groups to have their say. “We need feedback from groups about what works.” Responding to a question from board member Averill Grant, Neil clarified that the policy did not apply to commercial leases such as campgrounds, but only to community groups. Fellow board member Dave Gowland was concerned that “charging sports groups or clubs” would inhibit participation. “We need to allow use for free.” Neil reassured Dave that the council will “take on board” such comments as part of the community consultation. Chris Hill proposed that GBCB should get involved with the process. “As a board we need to encourage all community groups to make submissions about what’s affordable… it needs to be fair and equitable.” And she suggested that TDC organise drop-in sessions with council staff on hand to engage with local groups. Chair’s Report Chair’s Report covered a range of topics. Speed limits: At last month’s board meeting, a request was made to reduce the speed limits in Tākaka and Collingwood from 50 to 30 kmph. Grant asked board members whether GBCB should endorse the proposal by writing to TDC regarding its speed management plan which is due to go out for public consultation later this year. Pointing out that council was working with Waka Kotahi NZTA on this issue, Grant undertook to draft a letter to TDC and the transport agency. Meeting locations: Due to earlier Covid restrictions, GBCB meetings moved predominantly online and they are currently held as a hybrid in-person and Zoom forum. The need for audio-visual streaming capability precludes venues other than TDC’s Service Centre in Tākaka, but Grant said that there are advantages to the arrangement. “It’s easy to Zoom in; it’s easy to have your say in Public Forum.” Noting that contributions to Public Forum have dwindled, Chris suggested that GBCB reach out to the community to “remind people that they can Zoom in”, while Grant proposed using the council’s comms team would be helpful in getting the message out to the community. Draft Stock Control and Droving Bylaw 2022: Consultation on TDC’s controversial new draft bylaw runs from 1 July to 1 August. Grant posed a straightforward question to the board: “Do we want to put in a submission as a board?” Abbie was the first to respond: I think we should meet and workshop and submit. We have a lot of farmers in Golden Bay, so it’s very important to talk to them and submit.”

Councillor Celia Butler agreed. “It has generated a lot of concern for farmers in the District.” Following a short discussion, during which the draft legislation was described as “unworkable”, “ill-thought out,” and full of mistakes,” Abbie undertook to arrange for the board to meet with Federated Farmers representatives, and local farmers as soon as possible. Naming Motupipi River Cycle Bridge: With Manawhenua ki Mohua (MKM) having given its approval, the new cycle bridge on the Pōhara-Tākaka cycleway over the Motupipi River will be named the Christine Pullar Bridge after the local cycling advocate, who recently passed away. Action Sheet Following the formal receipt of the latest Financial Summary, a review of items on the Action Sheet was carried out. MOU: Abbie explained that a draft Memorandum of Understanding – the document that will define the relationship between GBCB and TDC – will be available for discussion at next month’s meeting. ONL, ONF and SNL submissions: At last month’s GBCB meeting Paul Sangster had requested clarification about the process around submission, feedback and consultation for TDC’s Outstanding Natural Landscapes and Features project. Having subsequently received a response from council staff, the board agreed to pass the information on to Paul. Waitapu Bridge site: Grant explained that he had discussed the concerns raised about the proposed landscaping of the site with MKM who, he said, had forwarded them to Waka Kotahi in Wellington for the agency to consider. Correspondence: Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) submitted a paper prepared for the Future for Local Government Panel, titled “The role of community boards and other local governance bodies in the future system of local government”. There was some discussion about the possible implications for GBCB as a result of the significant upcoming changes to local government before Grant asked whether the board should make a submission to the Local Government Panel. On the advice of TDC group manager environmental assurance, Kim Drummond, it was agreed that Chris, who is due to attend the LGNZ Conference where the topic will be discussed, will report back to the GBCB at next month’s meeting. The next GBCB meeting is at 9.30am on Tuesday 9 August at Golden Bay Service Centre, Tākaka.

NEWS IN BRIEF High response to youth survey

Trespassing cats a triviality

I refer to Cynthia McConville’s letter Troublesome Trespassing Cats (GBW, 8/7). Cynthia, I’m not certain if you have noticed or not but, over the last two-and-a-half years, New Zealand, and indeed the world, has been struggling with many very serious problems. Businesses have been completely lost, balance sheets ruined, families kept apart from loved ones, people injured from both virus and vaccine, not to mention the immediate cost-of-living crisis. And yet, you feel that we need to start a discussion on the “key issue” of “cat trespass”? If that’s all you have to worry about Cynthia, I’d suggest you’re in a really good spot. You are clearly a person who wishes to become more involved in your community, and who fortunately has the time and resources to do it. I wonder what you would be able to achieve if you were to focus on issues of slightly more elevated importance. Julian Hall

NZ abortion rights to be terminated?

A Youth Council survey of Golden’s Bay’s youth to identify what type of events, support and activities they want, received a total of 99 responses, according to youth worker Tullia Wilson. “This is a fantastic response and the youth of Tākaka can be proud of their involvement and input.” Tullia explained that a short summary of trends will be compiled within the next couple of weeks and made available to the public. A more comprehensive report on the data will be completed in the next few months by a professional researcher. The findings will be used by the Golden Bay Workcentre, The Golden Bay Rec Park Centre, and the Tasman Youth Council to provide better, more relevant support and activities for youth of Golden Bay. Survey winners: 4th place – Caleb Scott, 3rd place – Deva Baanvinger, 2nd place – Amelia Bulters, 1st place – Jodi Lloyd.

The Roe vs Wade judgemental and misogynous overturn has deprived many American women of control of their own bodies. Nothing in law affects only men to this degree. This allows catastrophic interference in personal lives. Women can no longer be drivers of their destinies. The people approving walk scot-free of ensuing responsibility, leaving the affected with a lifelong psychological burden, a financial burden, all the more despicable because there, as here, women don’t yet have equality of income. At present, unwanted children or those unable to be provided for end up in institutions, often church or/and educationally based, deprived of love, at risk of physical, verbal and sexual assault from a young age with resultant huge problems for the remainder of their lives. This is but one responsible reason for deciding to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Single parents tell us that they do their best but from all reports it’s an uphill battle. To insist that women must bear children when that isn’t in the interests of the child or of a reluctant mother is cruel. There have been protestations from Christopher Luxon that his personal views won’t be foisted on NZ by a change of law on abortion, should he become prime minister. Promises from political parties are no guarantee. Luxon has cited John Key as his ideal politician. The swift retraction by National of the 2008 pre-election vow of John Key not to raise GST to 15 per cent comes to mind. Anything is possible in politics. Karen Brookes

I was somewhat surprised to read that council has agreed to spend the entire Golden Bay “Reserve Fund Contributions” to fund the car parking requirements of the Recreation Centre. These are funds paid by subdividers at a rate of 6.5 per cent of the value of all new titles, and are available to council to buy or develop reserves in the Golden Bay area. The funds cannot be used for reserve maintenance – only to develop. The Matenga Road subdivision at Ligar Bay has been going for 20 years now, and has generated a sizeable sum in the Reserve Fund (hundreds of thousands of dollars), yet there has been no discernable development of reserves in the area. The area is becoming a popular summer destination and some form of reserve development is long overdue More importantly, I am also aware that the Rec Park Centre development contracts included work to construct car parks following the removal of the grandstand. Given the grandstand removal was deleted from the contract, I can only presume the car park costs were also withheld given that they weren’t built. So why is this money not being used to complete the new proposed parking? If the original car park fund allocation

is not available, then where has that money gone? I wonder if The GB Weekly would put this question to council for an explanation as I, and I expect many others, would be most interested in the answer. Martin Potter We have approached TDC for a response and hope to have something to publish next week. Ed

Don’t put a cat amongst the pigeons

My sympathy to anyone who has lost a pet is heartfelt, as is my sincere thanks to the huge number of good folk showing support for the victims of a resident making a disgusting attack on innocent people. If you want to be predator free and plant a billion trees by 2050, you need to make some changes. Birds (the true original inhabitants) are the key. Maybe Mr Black should take better care of his cats, keep them at home, reduce predation on neighbours, stop them defecating in neighbours’ gardens, restrict his keyboard crusade to truth, get a life, get a job, go outside, get some sunshine, listen to some birds. According to the newspaper article (Nelson Mail, 30/6), Mr Black is going to teach these cat-killing figments of his delusional mind a lesson. Nice he hasn’t lost his sense of humour. What time are his classes? Elliot Strange should consider facts, get to know his new community, examine his own integrity and his need for selfpromotion. His contribution would have been better printed on Purex, then it would be useful, not just an unknown newbie seeking recognition. Refusal to put names to those they accuse indicates obviously, with neither evidence nor truth, they are afraid. BJ White

Kids’ kororā tale based on true story RONNIE SHORT

Linda Jane Keegan will launch her second children’s picture book, Kororā and the Sushi Shop, on 20 July at 10.30am at Tākaka library. The author will introduce herself and the book before reading the story. A Mohua Blue Penguin Trust representative will also speak, and there will be craft activity for children. Copies of Kororā and the Sushi Shop will be available for $20. Illustrated beautifully by Jenny Cooper and published by Scholastic New Zealand, the story tells the tale of the adventures of a little blue penguin. It is based on a true story about a kororā who tried to nest under a sushi shop in Wellington in 2019. When Linda Jane read the tale in the media her initial thought was, “Oh, that’s so New Zealand.” She read a few articles to get a sense of what took place and used that structure for the narrative, “which I turned into a rhyme”. Linda Jane made up the end of the story, “although it could well be true,” she says. Characters Winnie and Constable Zhu are real people, who both gave permission for her to use their actual names. “I guess a lot of my writing comes from real life, like the first one is from me saying ‘Ooh, things in the sea are touching me.’” That became the title for her first book, published in 2019 by Scholastic. Having established a connection with the publisher, Linda Jane then submitted her second book. Initially it was declined by them and a couple of other publishers. So the book “just sat around” while she contemplated where to try next. But, a year later, Scholastic came back to her with a yes, and have now also published a copy in te reo Māori, much to Linda Jane’s delight.

Kororā and the Sushi Shop is one of a series of NZ Stories by different authors, but all inspired by true events and all illustrated by Jenny Cooper. Linda Jane loves the expressions the illustrator has captured for the kororā. The story is a delightful, easy, entertaining and light-hearted read, enjoyable for all ages. In the back of the book, some useful facts about kororā complement the narrative. Copies of both of her books are available at Tākaka’s Take Note.

NEWSLINE UPDATES KE E PING YOU INFORME D ABOUT NEWS AND EVE NTS IN THE TASMAN DISTRICT

Council adopts Annual Plan for 2022/2023

Nominations for those wanting to stand for Tasman in this year’s local body elections open on Friday 15 July and we’re running a special information session so you can find out what it takes to be a Councillor.

We have adopted our Annual Plan for the 2022/2023 year, enabling rates to be set and outlining our projects and services for the next 12 months.

Is your library book keeping your interest beyond the usual borrowing period? From 1 July, fines for overdue items won’t become a villain to your reading enjoyment.

Several changes have occurred following feedback from public submissions and new information emerging since we consulted on the draft Annual Plan.

As part of the adoption of our Annual Plan 2022/23, overdue fines on adult memberships have been removed from all Tasman District Libraries.

The final rates income increase is 5.05%. This is lower than the 5.51% increase signalled in Option 2 in the consultation document.

Previously, overdue charges were put in place to encourage the return of library materials, however there is no evidence that these charges are effective in ensuring the prompt return of borrowed materials.

This reduction is the result of our decision to assume funding $500,000 of the additional costs of implementing the Water Services Act 2021 through the Government’s ‘Better Off Funding’. Through this Annual Plan, we have also made efforts to minimise rate increases through; • Reductions in the budgets for consultancy • Lower budgets for maintenance and operations

Arguably, there has never been a more important time in our history to get involved by standing for election.

• Higher forecast revenue from fees and charges

Our Council and two community boards play a critical role in supporting the resilience and prosperity of Tasman.

As well as continuing to provide essential services and infrastructure, the Annual Plan budget has included a number of new social and environmental projects for 2022/2023. These include;

Our special candidate’s information evening is at 5.30 pm on Thursday 21 July in the Council Chambers on Queen Street, Richmond.

• Deferral of projects in the capital programme • Deferral of $2 million of the digital innovation work.

• Taking advantage of Waka Kotahi funding to improve walking and cycling infrastructure

If you can’t make it in person, we will also be presenting it live online. You can register for the online event on our website.

• Making improvements to Port Tarakohe

Candidate nomination forms are available from our service centres or libraries or download one from our website, tasman.govt.nz, and return it before midday Friday 12 August.

• Additional funding for community organisations.

Ensure you’re ready to vote If you want to have your voice heard in October’s election, you need to be enrolled to vote. You can check your electoral details or sign up by going to the website vote.nz. If you are not able to enrol online, you can enrol or update your details by calling 0800 36 76 56 to arrange for forms to be sent to you directly.

• Early efforts to start work on delivering the Motueka Stormwater Catchment Management Plan Changes to the schedule of fees and charges from July 1 2022, were also adopted.

Nominate someone for an Outstanding Community Service Award Some of our local superheroes are unassuming, quietly moving among us but working tirelessly in our Tasman communities, assisting at sports clubs, volunteering in environmental groups or helping with the administration of community organisations. Every year our Outstanding Community Service Awards officially recognise and celebrate these special people who make our communities a better place to live. If you know one of these unsung heroes who works away with little recognition, please get in touch and nominate them for one of our Outstanding Community Service Awards. Please note, nominees must be residents of Tasman District and have been involved in a range of voluntary activities for 20 years or more. Head to our website or one of our service centres to fill in an application form. Nominations close on 31 August. Visit tasman.govt.nz/community-awards.

Don’t forget to register your dogs Any dogs in Tasman District that are still unregistered and unpaid on 1 August will incur a 50% penalty fee. If you haven't received a registration form, you can download one from our website. If any of your details have changed, such as your address or the number of dogs you own, you also need to let us know. Visit tasman.govt.nz/dog-registration.

Library overdue fines written off

Overdue charges for children’s material were removed from 1 July 2021. Despite Covid-19 lockdowns and other restrictions, indications are that issues of children’s materials and the number of new and renewed children’s memberships have increased. Public Libraries of New Zealand and the Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa support the removal of overdue charges to ensure that all residents have equitable access to the information, learning and reading resources held in libraries. Tasman Libraries Manager Glennis Coote says it’s expected that removing overdue charges will increase positive interactions with library staff, remove barriers to the use of the library, and increase membership and use of library materials while encouraging longterm use of the library by our community. “We know that fines can create a barrier for some people. Library fines particularly affect those who cannot afford to pay, and they prevent their use of libraries.” “We’re looking forward to seeing customers who have been put off from using the library due to having library fines return and enjoy our facilities and resources.” All existing overdue fines will be written off, but we will retain lost and damaged books charges.

COUNCIL HUI At Orange, meetings will take place in person and via Zoom. Public forum presenters can speak in person if they wear a mask, follow one-metre distancing, and attend one at a time.

Golden Bay Contract Bridge Club (GBCBC) welcomes community members interested in learning how to play bridge, with a new intake for learners scheduled to start on 26 July (see advert on page 12 of this issue). “There is no such thing as a stereotypical bridge player,” says Hattie Curtis, an experienced player and teacher for the 2022 intake. “Bridge players come from all walks of life.” Hattie started her bridge career in Waihi, 33 years ago. She was attracted to playing as she worked from home, had a young family and wanted an outside activity. Hattie loves bridge “for its competitiveness and the way you can always keep learning (different players, books, experience). It requires 100 per cent concentration, so you can’t think about anything else”. She has previously taught intakes in Waihi and is keen to pass on her knowledge to people new to the game. Hattie joined the Golden Bay club two years ago and loves it. “It’s a great club. One of the good things about the club is

PHONE 525 9419

that there are a lot of younger players.” Hattie believes that “the younger you learn, the quicker you pick it up”. Lessons take place over a 10-week period, with some homework and practise required to reap the benefits. Hattie says: “Prospective players are helped by last year’s beginners to support newbies to learn and build confidence.” Lessons will be a combination of in-person and online – with the first lesson free and no obligation to join. The club now supports a hybrid of in-person and online play. “Online bridge is great for keeping up the club spirit if players don’t feel safe or [are] unable to attend in person.” GBCBC has been running in the Bay for 41 years and, with the advent of Covid, has found it challenging to navigate lockdowns and mandates. It plays an important role in the community socially and keeps minds active. The club typically runs one tournament yearly, with the opportunity for keen players to play “all around New Zealand”, says Hattie. “Most NZ players are ‘junior players’ who play for fun weekly. Only a small percentage is competitive and will travel to play.”

Mountain Goats advance on summit

Winning strike: Mountain Goats’ Scotty Ralston wheels away after scoring the winning goal against Wakefield. Photo: Jo Richards. JO RICHARDS

Golden Bay’s Mountain Goats appear to be peaking just at the right time. The men’s First XI continued their winning streak last Saturday with a narrow win over visitors Wakefield. The three points means the Goats climb into second spot in the Nelson Bays Football Division 2 competition, with two games left to play. It was a match in which both sides enjoyed periods of ascendancy, and which either could have snatched victory, but hard work, organisation, and a rare bit of luck for the home side, saw them emerge with the win. The first half ended goalless, but it was not for lack of trying; both sides had scoring chances and were not afraid to shoot from distance. After only five minutes the Goats were unlucky when a shot hit the upright with the Wakefield keeper stranded. It was a let off for the visitors who managed a few decent shots of their own, but were unable to beat the Goats’ keeper. Towards the end of the half, Wakefield thought they had broken the deadlock when their striker raced onto a through ball to slot it into the net, but an offside flag went up and, much to the visitors’ chagrin, the goal was disallowed. Five minutes after the restart, Golden Bay got a big slice of luck when Tim van der Meer’s long range strike took a heavy deflection off a Wakefield defender which gave his keeper no chance. Full of confidence, the Goats showed some excellent link up

play with good combinations all over the park. Van der Meer and young Leaf Osborne were a particularly effective attacking partnership, and combined well with striker Scotty Ralston. In defence, indefatigable skipper Danyon Fleming marshalled his back line to break up the opposition’s attacks. Despite establishing a lead, the home side refused to rest on their laurels and probed the visitors, testing their substitute keeper with a series of long-range shots and corner kicks. It seemed only a matter of time before the Goats extended their advantage but, against the run of play, Wakefield levelled with a shot rifled into the roof of the net from close range. The goal galvanised the visitors who now put the Goats under pressure for 10 minutes during which they seemed the more likely to score next. But in a late counter attack, a neat move was finished off by Ralston who coolly struck a low shot past the Wakefield keeper. The frustrated visitors had insufficient time to respond and the final whistle blew minutes later with the score at 2-1. Speaking immediately after the match, Wakefield coach Gabe Marshall bemoaned his team’s misfortune. “We did well to get back into the game, but we were very unlucky with the deflection.” Marshall’s counterpart Alex Luckett acknowledged his players were the beneficiaries of that deflection. “We got a bit lucky this week, but we got the result and we’re building; this is our third win in a row with two games left.”

Collingwood end season on high note

Collingwood Rugby Football Club ended their season on a high note last Saturday, with a convincing away win against Waimea Old Boys. The result means the Black and Gold finish third from bottom, in ninth position, in Tasman Rugby Senior Men’s Division 2 competition. Characteristically, Collingwood defended well, preventing

the Old Boys from scoring in the first half. And they rediscovered their scoring touch to establish a 15-point lead at the break. In the second half, Collingwood conceded points, but added a further 21 to take the final score to 12-36. Captain Ryan Mckay was rewarded for his dedication to the cause with a hat-trick of tries, while No 10 Brad Goulsbro was unfailingly on target with his kicking. Result: Waimea Old Boys 12 vs Collingwood 36.

“Te Whakapapa o Te Awhi Rito,” the new exhibition at Golden Bay Museum, tells the history of the local weaving group that began in 1990 in response to the enthusiasm of local woman Hazel Walls. The first weaving hui was held at the Pōhara Hall in 1990 that year, intent on revitalising the traditional art of raranga (weaving). Hazel, who had been learning Te Reo and raranga herself, began sharing her knowledge through her involvement with the Māori Women’s Welfare League, the Nelson Culture Club, and visits to other raranga workshops around the country. During this time she discovered Rene Orchiston’s remarkable collection of around 60 traditional harakeke plant varieties gathered since the 1950s. After Rene died, Landcare redistributed the collection around various DOC sites in New Zealand. Hazel’s son Simon, then employed by DOC, helped instigate a project to establish a garden of these at Paine’s Ford, which became known as the Pa Harakeke. The evolving collective of Māori and non-Māori weavers regrouped with strength prior to the opening of Onetahua Marae in Pōhara Valley in 2000, meeting every Friday to weave in the Kohanga Reo next door, which had been the old school house. They believed that working cooperatively strengthened them through kotahitanga (unity), thus furthering their raranga knowledge.

“We didn’t have any kaiako; we just had some books and a lot of enthusiasm,” said Bronwynn Billens, who with fellow weaver Cherie Byrne curated the current exhibition. These days, meetings are infrequent, but every year Te Awhi Rito endeavors to hold both an open day plus a learning day with an invited teacher, and facilitates a weekend project to create a woven piece as a koha to the community of Mohua. Part of tikanga is to cover and look after the weaving until it is ready for public viewing. This exhibition showcases individual and collaborative projects, plus photographs of countless Te Awhi Rito weavers, some of whom – like Hazel Walls – have since passed on. A portrait of Hazel is nestled within a painting of a harakeke plant by weaver Philly Hall, to honour Hazel’s contribution and the journey of Te Awhi Rito since 1990. Apart from harakeke, other fibres represented are kuta, neinei, kiekie, pingao, ti kouka, raupo, and huruhuru. During the exhibition there will be weaving demonstrations by Bronwynn on a korowai she began while studying with the Hetet School of Māori Art. Te Awhi Rito wishes to acknowledge the support given by Manawhenua ki Mohua, Onetahua Marae, the Walls whānau, Robin Slow, Philly Hall and the Golden Bay Museum staff, Karen Johnson and Lee Rzoska, and pay respect to all the weavers who have passed on. Until 31 October; Mon–Fri, 10am-4pm; Saturday, 10am–2pm.

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.

Community shapes school’s vision RONNIE SHORT

Sheridan Gray has been co-ordinating several hui for whānau and interested parties in the Collingwood Area School (CAS) catchment area. Across four hui held at CAS, Pakawau, Ōnekakā and Bainham, up to 40 people attended to share their vision for the future of CAS. In conjunction with the school’s rebuild project is a revisioning and upgrading of the vision statement and school values. The purpose of the vision statement is to direct decisions around how things are done within the school. Sheridan’s role is to co-ordinate community and whānau consultation. In her professional development career she has worked with a great number of schools to build relational communities. Prior to that she worked as a secondary school teacher for 12 years. Of going out into the community to engage with parents, staff, whānau and interested parties, Sheridan said, “It’s been an excellent thing, getting out rather than expecting the community to come in”. “Some really committed, thoughtful parents have come along sharing their hopes for their children’s education and for education in our community, and wanting to have deeper conversations about that. It’s all been really useful and enlightening.” In Pakawau, the hui was different in that grandparents attended and shared memories of events important to them. “Which shows deep roots in the community,” said Sheridan. “Especially the treasured community events, such as show day, school camps and the amazing outdoor experiences young people can get in the Bay.” Following the information gathering, Sheridan will work to collate the results with the CAS Board of Trustees, principal Hugh Gully and Greg Jansen – who works for Leadership Lab, Christchurch. Greg facilitates leadership work with the Golden Bay kahui āko, which encompasses all schools and early childhood centres in Golden Bay. Their task will be to come up with the practices, structures and policies needed to implement the new vision and values, and determine how people can contribute and be involved. Staff, students and Manawhenua ki Mohua ideas will also be included.

CAS deputy principal Alison Menary described some of what staff and students are envisioning. “More of an open-learning environment, more collaborative teaching, and working together more. We want to have a new vision that goes with that concept.” The revisioning works in with the school’s rebuild and the design and layout of the new learning spaces. It’s about developing practical, future-focused pathways for CAS and the wider community. “This is an opportunity for the wider community to have a say,” said Sheridan. “The children we bring up in the Bay are part of that community. It’s about reaching out and seeing who would like to engage and how.” A survey is available to any interested parties who wish to contribute ideas. Sheridan can be contacted via email: sheridan@collingwood.school.nz or on 022 473 303.

VOLUNTEER GROUPS: GB Animal Welfare Society The SPCA has existed in the Bay for a very long time indeed. Carol Wells has been involved almost from the beginning. A few years ago when the SPCA changed their governance, it was time to go independent, hence the new name: Golden Bay Animal Welfare Society (GBAWS). We’re a group of nine enthusiastic committee members as well as a dedicated team of “foster mothers”. We can offer advice on all animal welfare issues, but only accommodate cats and kittens. We are good at rehoming adult cats and our kittens are trapped strays or ferals that the public bring to our attention. With a lot of work and medical bills they become lovely house pets and we have no trouble rehoming them. We try to offer free de-sexing campaigns to the community twice a year, depending on our funding. We are fortunate with regular financial support from local groups and we also apply for grants. We really appreciate those of you who donate cat and kitten food in our bin at FreshChoice – thank you! Check us out on our Facebook page or our Instagram page. Connect with us via these two options or phone Carol Wells on 525 9494. To help celebrate and support Golden Bay’s volunteers, The GB Weekly is providing a platform for local organisations to explain what they do, and how the local community can contribute to the cause and/or get involved. Volunteer organisations are invited to submit text (maximum 350 words) plus a photo to: admin@gbweekly.co.nz

Legislation and compliance now play a significant role in terms of both the successful management of a tenancy, and the consequences that come from non-compliance, or failing to meet legal obligations.

The Resilient Show

THAT HIP HOP NIGHT.

NZ is a stunning land with a wealth of cultures and histories, but we all have one thing in common, too often we question the value we bring. We wonder at our worth and this is becoming an increasing challenge in our family and communities. The Resilient Show brings those quiet fears and worries about coping into the open. Facing those challenges now rather than dealing with, addictions, anxiety, depression, mental health and suicide when it’s already too late. Airs Fridays at 9.30am, replay the following Wednesday at 5.30am.
