Stomping on poverty

A folk-dance fundraiser is to be held at Pōhara Hall next month to raise money for Golden Bay’s Foodbank. The “Stomp On Poverty” event is being organised by Kevin Durkan and will be hosted by the Nelson/Tasman Footloose Ceilidh Band on Saturday 6 August. Last April, Kevin organised a similar event with the same band and raised nearly $2000 for Foodbank. “It’s a great opportunity to have some fun and help some people out, it’s worthwhile doing,” says Kevin. For those who may be intimidated by getting up to dance, or feel excluded because they’re single, Kevin is reassuring. “You don’t need to know anything, you don’t even need to have a partner…You can have two left feet and still make it work…If everybody’s up and learning together, it’s fine.”

This was evidenced by Golden Bay Tramping Club members at their midwinter ceilidh held at Kotinga Hall recently. Great hilarity ensued as they attempted the sequence of steps required for the Scottish dance Kevin was teaching them. “My philosophy is that it’s all about having fun, that’s the big thing. So if we get it wrong we just laugh and carry on.” Kevin has “called the dances” every winter for the past seven years for a keen group, who now meet at Kotinga Hall on Monday evenings. Open to members of all ages, it’s $5 koha to join in. “It started off being largely Scottish country dancing and then one or two people suggested dances from other parts of the world. So there’s Greek, Russian and an American barn-dance style called contradancing,” said Kevin. The level of interest increases with a larger

number of people, he said, and it’s ideal for fun, fitness and coordination. Unfortunately, several younger dancers have dropped out due to a shortage of dancers their own age. Compounded by the Covid situation, numbers have dropped overall from the initial 12-16 attendees to 6 or 7 people, which Kevin says “makes it difficult because a lot of the dances are made for 8 minimum” . A fun night is promised for the Stomp on Poverty fundraiser, and Kevin even gets to join in, because the band will call the dances and explain the steps. Kevin wants the event to be as affordable and inclusive as possible. Accordingly, tickets are priced at $20, (plus optional koha) and will go on sale soon at Tākaka’s Organic Shop. For more details, see the advertisement on page 15 of this issue, or contact Kevin on 027 510 7483.

Bay boy's big bike win JO RICHARDS

While many Golden Bay cycling fans will have been following Jack Bauer’s every pedal stroke as he races across France in Le Tour, they may have missed the big news about another son of the Bay. Days before Jack set off on his 3328km punishing journey around France, an ex-Golden Bay “boy” finished a brutal 10-day endurance race across the United States in first place. Allan Jefferson, who hails from East Tākaka but is now a resident of Townsville Australia, cycled a total of 4,889km through 12 states – from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland – in a time of 240 hours and 15 minutes, at an average speed of 20.34 kmph. The 54-year-old’s achievement won him the honour of overall solo male winner, and solo male 50-59 winner in the 2022 Race Across America, aka RAAM. Allan’s Mum Betty Ferris, who now lives in Richmond, spoke to The GB Weekly earlier this week from Townsville where she was celebrating with her son. “We had a big day yesterday. I’m very proud,” said Betty, who knows tragedy as well as triumph, due to the untimely deaths of her two other sons, “I lost my eldest and my youngest.” Three weeks after he rolled into Annapolis, Betty’s middle son was still recovering from his 10 days of relentless pedalling. “It’s taken a while, but I’m feeling a lot better than a week ago,” said Allan, adding that the enormity of his achievement hasn’t yet sunk in. “I’m still coming to grips with it.” The experienced elite multi-sports athlete has competed in several Ironman World Championships and is renowned for his cycling time trial ability, but his latest performance still exceeded all his expectations. “To finish was the primary goal – anything else was a bonus,” said Allan, who didn’t think about winning until the finishing line was in sight. “It wasn’t until the last minute, when I got to the final time station with 30 miles to go, that I thought ‘maybe we have done the impossible’.” Although he moved to Australia in the 1990s, Allan hasn’t forgotten his roots. “I grew up in the Bay and I’m still a Kiwi. I’ll always be a Kiwi. You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy.” Allan said that he’ll be back on home soil next February when he lines up alongside...

Te Radar entertains RSC "family"

BIG BIKE WIN

Te Radar entertains guests at Rural Service Centre's recent "Reset Dinner" held at Tākaka's Rec Park Centre. Photo: Joyce Wyllie. JOYCE WYLLIE

Te Radar, travel enthusiast and documentary maker, made the intrepid journey to Golden Bay recently as guest speaker at the Rural Service Centre’s “Reset Dinner”. When welcoming everyone, RSC general manager Jeff Riordan explained that the evening was “part of an ongoing strategy to improve connections with members and enhance RCS values, as a truly community- and farmer-based family organisation.” Te Radar began by reminiscing fondly about an earlier trip to Golden Bay with his [soon-to-be] wife. On one side of Tākaka’s main street he found a wedding ring he liked, while she bought hers from a shop on the other side of the road. Storytelling is what Te Radar loves, and he does it in his documentaries, as compere for Young Farmer of the Year, and as an entertaining after-dinner speaker. He related how he ended up in this career – after studying law at Otago University – because he was curious about our country and uncovering hidden histories. That led to the Off the Radar and Radar’s Patch TV series in which he talked to people and shared their stories. That then led to Radar Across the Pacific, and further to Global Radar. His apparent interest in war is not about politics but about people living in war zones. This is why he travelled to Bethlehem one Christmas as a “war tourist”, delivering a series of stories on

the radio. Te Radar aspired to be chosen to appear in Intrepid Journeys and finally, after eight series (96 episodes) he was asked to feature. He joked that he must scrape into the top 100 NZ celebrities. His journey was to an isolated rock concert in a desert. Before he left, his mother told him that she didn’t want to hear any complaining on the programme. In the middle of one shoot he felt a sharp sting and, when shaking his trouser leg, a scorpion fell out. In the resulting drama he was rushed by an official to a tent. Inside was an icemaker and he was offered a cold beer. On asking if that would fix the arachnid venom, the organiser replied “No, but it may be your last.” The scorpion was small so he survived to tell more stories, and he did remember his mother’s wise words and never complained. That positive attitude led to more work when a producer planned a backto-basics series and needed someone to live in a paddock for a year subsisting only on what they could produce. So Te Radar and his attempts at gardening, hunting, milking a cow and sustainable living featured on Home-grown. When thanking Te Radar at the end of his high-energy and humorous talk, Jeff stated the obvious, that “the last few years have been a challenge both on and off the farm”, and that he hoped that people had enjoyed the evening. Te Radar’s final words were: “It could have been a whole lot worse”.

(Mis)Spending reserve funds

Congratulations to Martin Potter on his letter regarding “Reserve Funds Contributions” being misused to complete car parking at the Recreation Park (GBW,15/7). Taking the issue a little further, surely the over one-million dollar renovation of the grandstand should be funded by the people who had the bright idea in the first place? Not us ratepayers that will never use it. One would think use of that money would have been better spent on extensions to our wonderful hospital, Abbeyfield or even a heated swimming pool in place of the grandstand. Phil and Rose Windle

Mask use slipping

I’ve noticed that far fewer people are wearing masks in optional situations particularly in enclosed places. I usually choose to do so indoors and often am the only person in the room doing so. Recently I was asked if I was ill. I explained I wasn’t but I was trying to keep others and myself protected. A much more infectious strain of Covid has now reached our shores. We are being told again to use masks. Recently a family I know of had a member isolated with Covid. They all wore good quality masks when in the patient’s room and didn’t limit their visits. No other family members became infected. I feel many of us have assumed Covid is inevitable. That’s not necessarily so. It’s now being realised that people infected two or three times may become weaker with each following occurrence. Not a good scenario but much more likely without masks. Please reconsider if you’ve given up on masks. It could make a big difference to your future health. Karen Brookes

Curbing cat contagion

Thank you, Julian Hall, for your comments (GBW, 15/7). Two years ago I tested positive for the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. As a vegan I could only have contracted this parasite from infected cat faeces in my vegetable garden. Hence, the focus I have on cat trespass. Cat trespass is a health issue. Cynthia McConville

Letting life be

I’m puzzled why people who believe cats should be locked up to keep them from trespassing in their gardens don’t apply the same logic to birds? Birds are wondrous creatures. I love them. However, I don’t like when they poop on my windscreen and freshly hung laundry, dig up newly sown seeds and scratch out tender seedlings, steal ripening berryfruit and peck holes in my apples, pears and persimmons. But I’d never suggest or justify trapping, shooting or poisoning birds, or locking them up. I use bird netting, cover my seedlings and ripening fruit, wash the windscreen, re-wash the laundry, and accept that other beings’ natures sometimes inconvenience me. That’s just part of life on Earth. Methods that contain cats also work to keep them out.

I can provide practical suggestions to help. There are also research-proven ways to reduce their hunting birds and lizards (funny, nobody complains when they hunt mice and rats… our humane impulses are selective). Cats can carry toxoplasmosis, true. Last I heard, though, “avian flu” poses a greater threat to humanity. Life is risky. Most creatures’ natural behaviour inconveniences or harms some beings, including humans. Life evolved to eat other life, whether I like it or not. But harm by other animals pales in comparison to the carnage humanity has wreaked on the rest of nature. Let’s do what we can, compassionately, to prevent damage and inconvenience by birds, cats and humans. Then let’s accept our diverse animal natures, and let life be! Lethea Erz

Apologise for accusatory cat flyer

I’ve only recently seen the flyer about cat disappearances in Collingwood (it wasn’t put in my letterbox) and was shocked to see my house marked with an X on the map and my name and bogus credentials marked on the side. These are serious untrue allegations. A public apology to all those accused is required. Robyn Jones

Encouraging enlightened compromise

The "Fireworks Extravaganza" article in last week's GB Weekly (GBW, 15/7) was delightful reading – indeed a heartening call for community involvement in "a really fantastic village". Letters to the Editor in the same edition, however, welcomed a dark sarcasm in the bird/cat debate that now has the potential to divide our community further in these uncertain times. Could it be that a discerning editorial approach is called for to encourage enlightened compromise, rather than facilitating personal attack? Our "town cryer" is a great venue for identifying and resolving issues, let's please see abridged opinions if necessary to reflect the uplifting intelligence we know is there! NgAngA Regrettably the bird/cat debate has become rather heated, and while it is healthy to exchange views and advance arguments, it would be helpful if correspondents could avoid making personal attacks and/or unfounded accusations. I acknowledge that we may have been too permissive on occasions, and consequently will endeavour to take a more "discerning approach". Ed

CORRECTION The correct title of the Golden Bay Museum's new exhibition is “Te Awhi Rito” , not “Te Whakapapa o Te Awhi Rito”.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Please email your letter to us at admin@gbweekly.co.nz by 12pm Tuesday. Letters must not exceed 250 words. Correspondence is at the discretion of the manager, who reserves the right to decline, edit, or abridge letters without explanation or further discussion.

This Sunday in Motupipi, six actors from the group hope to boost their filmmaking finances by holding a fundraising garage sale, along with a baking and soup stall. In the youth-led project, facilitated by Martine Baanvinger, the group has created the storyline and characters for a short thriller with the working title “Delmonte’s Legacy”. The funds raised will go to an experienced local film crew of young adults who will shoot the movie on a property and beach in Rototai. DramaLAB Youth group garage sale fundraiser is on Sunday 24 July from 12-3pm at 328 Abel Tasman Drive, Motupipi.

SPECIAL EVENTS HAPPENING IN OUR NEW PROGRAMME: SAT 13/SUN 14 AUG

Biographical films, although rooted in reality by their very nature, usually conform to standard film conventions. A person’s complex existence is somehow reduced to the accepted threeact structure, and lifelong challenges are often resolved and overcome. In the movies, we get happy-ever-afters, but reality is never so simple. Benediction deals with the life of First World War poet Siegfried Sassoon, decorated for bravery at the Somme, but then moved to become a vehement opponent of the politicised slaughter he experienced. His courage enables him to challenge the British establishment at the highest level, only to have potential martyrdom at the hands of a court-martial firing squad taken away from him by well-meaning and highly placed friends. Sassoon finds himself instead directed to undergo psychiatric treatment at a military clinic in Edinburgh, where, against all odds, he meets a doctor who is not only sympathetic to his ideals, but also his sexual identity. When fellow poet Wilfred Owen arrives and the two form a fleeting relationship, this early part of the film becomes arguably the happiest in Sassoon’s life. The usual biopic treatment is reversed; instead of a famous subject finding their way out of the dark, Sassoon tragically struggles with disillusionment and probably post-combat stress for the rest of his days. Jack Lowden plays the young poet with initial hope and idealism, while Peter Capaldi, sporting a face that can convey bitterness and disappointment like few others, is the elder iteration. Post WWI, Sassoon finds his talent lauded by high society, the decadent 1920s mindset only too eager to embrace his anti-war verse. A series of affairs take place with individuals so narcissistic and superficial that we are left wondering if these experiences might have left Sassoon more damaged than the trenches did. This section of the film is the most vibrant, both in terms of setting and character, though the lethally sharp wit on display from the gaggle of dilettantes creates just another injurious battlefield. Many decades later, an old flame, Stephen (Anton Lesser), seeks him out, but the reception he is given by the embittered poet seems both deserved and callous at the same time. When Sassoon is gently reminded that the better part of being human is to be kind rather than honest, he remains resolutely unmoved. What reduces someone so courageous and gifted to this state? The answer might lie somewhere between the selfdestructive quirks of genius and the horrors of war that scar survivors in much deeper ways than was ever understood at the time. Each era is depicted expertly, with genuine WWI footage interwoven into scenes with an older Sassoon as he is haunted by his past. Also beautifully filmed is a shot of young Sassoon dropping his hard-earned Military Cross into a stream, breaking his own reflection and rejecting the establishment while setting the course of his life. A startling array of familiar figures populates his future, such as TS Eliot and TE Lawrence, whom he amusingly introduces to one another at his wedding. Benediction may not give us the resolution that we hope for, and the non-linear narrative further emphasises just how seemingly patternless a real life can be, but the performances are utterly captivating. Jack Lowden is completely convincing as a man who gradually falls out of love with the human race, while Capaldi is the end result, despondently wielding expertly chosen words like a bladed weapon against anyone within reach. Kate Phillips and Gemma Jones (both as his wife Hester) movingly depict a woman ageing into an awareness that she has only been another desperate attempt at someone else’s redemption. This is a film to be admired and absorbed. It shows us that the human condition is far more complicated than cinema usually ever allows us see.

Golden Bay’s community event to celebrate Matariki is firing up tonight. Due to be held last month to mark the official Matariki public holiday, the Community Arts Council event was unfortunately postponed due to illness and bad weather. Organiser Claire French has since been busy rescheduling the performances for what promises to be a highly entertaining evening. The fun starts at 4pm with interactive art at the Arts Council building (24 Commercial Street) where Aralyn Doiron and Colin Minney will be offering live window art and “hilarious fooling around”. The action on Commercial Street continues from 5.30pm, when DramaLAB will take the audience on a physical theatre tour around the Artisans and Anglican Parish Hall area. Hot soup, sweets and baking will be on sale to boost DramaLAB’s upcoming movie project.

Maidens' "best game in two years" Bronze Medal winners, from left, Philip Woolf and Roland Toder. SUBMITTED

Ashburton EA Networks Centre was the host facility for the third annual Mid-Canterbury Winter Classic national pickleball tournament last weekend. Six keen contestants from Pickleball GB Club joined 134 players from all over New Zealand and faced strong competition from the North Island. Daniel Campbell, John McKie, Suze Toder, Gretchen Lund, Roland Toder and Philip Woolf showed their serves, volleys, dinks and drop shots in the group play and everyone went through to the elimination rounds. "This was the second time I played in this tournament, and the organisation and management of such a large national event is so impressive," said Roland, "Everyone has huge enthusiasm for this exciting game". Dan Campbell introduced Rec Park Centre to this fun sport in 2018 and he went on to set up pickleball in the Collingwood Memorial Hall. As a persistent pickler, he plays in Tākaka, Collingwood and Richmond. Pickleball is a racket sport played with a paddle and a hollow, plastic perforated ball called a wiffle. For more information on when and where to play contact: pickleballgbclub@gmail. com Sponsored by NBS Takaka and Roots Bar. Results: Open Women Singles: 3rd G Lund; Super Men Doubles: 3rd R Toder and P Woolf; Super Women Doubles: 3rd D Hill and S Hilow (Dizzy is a Pickleball GB Club alumni and now plays in Richmond).

Last Saturday Golden Bay’s Shield Maidens headed to Jubilee Park, Richmond to face Senior Women’s Division 1 joint leaders Richmond Foxes. Despite losing to the Foxes, Maidens’ coach Phil Smith was very pleased with the performance of his side. “…as a team we played our best game in two years.” Phil said his players got off to a good start, “trying the strategies we learned at training we had the Foxes surprised and confused as the Maidens set the tone for the first half”. The Foxes, however, established a 3-0 lead thanks to “some nice touches on the ball to get goals in the first half”. In the second half, the Maidens showed some promise in attack, which Phil said was the result of “huge gains from Lily Parker to create some magic moments with Captain Ellie

Hopkins giving us some opportunities on goal… And Jodi Jefferson playing on the wing for the first time also made some great gains”. The back four – Renee Selin, Mia Goodwin, Isobelle Johnson and Aliana Bowden displayed great tenacity, said Phil. “Renee was the beast in defence, taking no prisoners.” The Maiden’s manager went on to praise his entire squad for their never-say-die attitude. “We don’t give up, we keep training to be better, we keep going to the final whistle…” Nelson Bays Football results for 16 July Senior Women Division 1: Richmond Foxes 8 vs GB Shield Maidens 0; Senior Women Division 2: GB Wahine Toa 5 vs Motueka Angels 1; Senior Men Division 2: Richmond Thistle 0 vs GB Mountain Goats 1; Senior Men Division 5: GB Stingrays 0 vs Richmond Stags 8.

A contingent of indoor bowlers, representing the Golden Bay-Motueka Association, travelled to Blenheim recently in their quest for the Lemon Shield, a trophy that bowlers have battled over for more than 50 years. Five clubs; Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast, Greymouth

and Golden Bay-Motueka, compete for the trophy. It had been a couple of years since the local association held the shield but the strong group of bowlers were determined to give it a go. And they did, returning home victorious, shield in hand. A great weekend was had with old friends and new ones. Roll on next 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.
