Red carpet at film festival

ALISTAIR HUGHES

Tākaka rolled out the red carpet last Friday night for the delayed screening of the 2021 Top of the South Film Festival, the very best in short film-making from Westport to Kaikōura.

Event director Patsy Burke was thrilled to be able to bring the programme, now in its eighth year, to Golden Bay for the first time.

The Young Filmmakers reel was screened from 5pm, featuring eight short films produced by schools from around the regions. All of the productions featured an ecological theme, with Central Tākaka School’s The Fatopia Adventures and Motupipi School’s The Plastic Bag very well received by the Golden Bay audience. Kaikōura Primary School’s shadowpuppet short, The Journey of the Eels was also a favourite.

The adult filmmakers’ Gold Reel selection then screened at 7.30pm, treating the audience to an array of genres including documentary,

comedy and drama. This was also another opportunity to see local filmmaker Benji Wick’s Wharariki-filmed music video Nurture, which has previously won at our own Allshorts festival.

Tinsel over Twizel told of an unlikely romance blossoming during the shooting of a Bollywood film in rural Canterbury, while the very popular James Blond began as an espionage drama but ended as something quite unexpected. Triple Trouble was a fascinating documentary about the behind-the-scenes near tragedies during the airshow that opened Wellington’s airport in 1959, and the first half of the programme ended with the science-fiction-themed Closing Time.

Our Stories, a documentary about older Pasifika people’s experiences integrating into New Zealand life, opened the second section on a heart-warming note, followed by the gritty thriller Nine Lives.

Horror drama Blood Barn provided some jump scares, before the engaging boxing drama Rock Bottom and slick music video Denel - Let it Happen.

The People’s Choice’ winner for the night was Alien Weaponry’s Tangaroa – a furious blend of Māori haka and heavy metal – whose angry protest message seemed to connect with the audience. As Covid caused the postponement of this festival’s original screening last year, perhaps Tangaroa offered a healthy, cathartic way of dealing with some pandemic-based frustrations.

Second pick (and official Festival Winner) was the Māori Wars-themed Warpaint, beautifully filmed in a forest set created entirely in a studio.

Patsy Burke is excited by entries already received for this year’s festival. That event will be screening towards the end of this year, and should not be missed.

Spit pest plan released JO RICHARDS

An ambitious plan to eradicate pests and facilitate the return of breeding seabirds to Farewell Spit, will be revealed at drop-in sessions in Golden Bay next week.

The plan follows on from last year’s community consultation by the Onetahua Restoration group on its vision to restore cultural and ecological values and remove invasive pests. The project, a partnership between Manawhenua ki Mohua, Tasman Environmental Trust and Project Mohua, and partly funded by Predator Free 2050, is now named Pest Free Onetahua (PFO).

The aim of the project is the permanent eradication of possums, rats, stoats and pigs from the Spit using intensive trapping, thermal hunting, detection dogs, motion cameras, and best practice use of pesticides.

The project extends the work already being carried out by Farewell Spit Ecotours and HealthPost Nature.

The Spit’s eradication zone will be established using modified stock fences and an intensive trapline at the border, supported by less intensive trapping in Pakawau Forest and on private land as far as Whanganui Inlet (see map on page 2).

Suppression of pests from the border of the Spit to the Inlet, could also see the return of forest birds such as kākā and kiwi.

Although the project will be employing staff, manager of the Tasman Environmental Trust Sky Davis believes the community’s support and involvement – already evident – will be key to PFO’s success. “It’s been very encouraging to receive so much positive feedback from people who want to see the pests permanently removed from Onetahua, and who are keen to get involved,” says Sky. “We are also grateful for the support of many landowners in the operational area who are allowing us to put trapping networks on their land. This will be critical as we will need to control rat and stoat populations on private land to prevent reinfestation of Onetahua.”

The project is seeking volunteers to help implement the plan. “We are hoping that people who are excited by this significant and challenging restoration project will put their hands up and get involved,” says Sky. “We especially need support from people who have skills in governance, marketing and corporate fundraising.”

Drop-in sessions: Collingwood Tavern, Friday 10 June, 1-3pm; Old School Café, Pakawau, Saturday 11 June, 10am12noon. Refreshments provided. All welcome. For more information go to www. onetahuarestoration.org.nz

Climate Action Week

JO RICHARDS

Climate Action Week is a collection of climate focussed actions and events spread over the course of one week starting tomorrow.

Golden Bay is coming to the party next Saturday afternoon with a workshop at the Rec Park Centre. Titled “How do we strengthen and move towards climate action in our community?”, the session runs 2-4pm and is hosted

by Nelson Tasman Climate Forum (NTCF) and Te Kōpuni Kāinga (Top of the South Neighbourhood Support) and there is a shared afternoon tea afterwards.

Climate Action Week is inspired by, and timed to follow, the delivery of the Government’s first Emissions Reduction Plan. The week-long event, the first of its kind for the Nelson Tasman region, offers a range of experiences and opportunities for people to learn, connect and act. It also aims to raise awareness and equip people with solutions, as well as make climate action more accessible and appealing.

People of all ages are encouraged to get involved with NTCF actions or come up with their own ideas.

Amongst the many events and actions planned for the week, a webinar and Q&A on sea-level rise and impacts for the Nelson Tasman Region, hosted by Victoria University of Wellington professor and Sea Rise programme co-leader Tim Naish, is likely to be of particular interest to Golden Bay’s coastal residents.

Workshop: How do we strengthen and move towards climate action in our community? Rec Park Centre, Takaka, Saturday 11 June, 2-4pm. All welcome.

Volunteers “give back” to community RONNIE SHORT

Golden Bay’s Abbeyfield complex sits alongside Lake Killarney behind Commercial Street, Tākaka. Providing shared living for single superannuitants, it houses 11 residents plus a live-in cook/ housekeeper.

“We still fight the image that we are a rest home,” says local committee chair Ann Jones.

“We are not – we are private – a home for individuals who want to live together.”

The concept of Abbeyfield began in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, the brainchild of Richard CarrGomm. He recognised that many older people were living alone, isolated in their own communities, and he envisaged a safe, secure home where they could find friendship and support.

Dr Ted Basset, a GP in Wakefield, brought the idea to Nelson in 1991, after visiting the UK to explore retirement models. With a group of keen supporters, Abbeyfield NZ Inc was set up as an incorporated society and registered as a charitable organisation in 1992.

There are now 14 established Abbeyfield homes throughout New Zealand. Each is governed by a committee of volunteers from the local community, who manage administrational affairs, staff, and eligibility for residency, and property maintenance.

They also take an active interest in the wellbeing of residents, as is evident in the Tākaka group.

Ann has been involved with Tākaka’s Abbeyfield since the idea was first mooted. A keen group of supporters took the idea to the Tasman Milk Company, who gifted the land for the benefit of the Golden Bay community.

Fundraising then began with a strong, dedicated group

THE YARD IS OVERFLOWING! Hello Golden Bay Bowater Toyota are currently overflowing... literally, with used vehicles. We have: Aquas, Hilux, Prados, Corollas, Yaris, Prius, Rav 4s and many more different models.

of locals. It took 15 years to raise the funds for the residential building comprised of 11 ensuite units, each with a garden patio. Communal spaces include a lounge, kitchen and laundry.

A room for guests, including respite visitors, is available, plus there is a self-contained flat for the housekeeper.

Whilst tenants are responsible for housekeeping their own units and patio gardens, the surrounding lawns and gardens are maintained by a part-time gardener.

Abbeyfield Tākaka officially opened in November 2016, and is now wholly owned and operated by the local volunteers for the benefit of the GB community.

For 65-year- olds upwards who are considering shared living as an option, Abbeyfield could be the answer. There is no entry fee, no asset or means testing. The only requirement is a medical assessment to ensure one can live independently.

Potential residents can test the waters by staying for a trial period of two weeks before making the commitment.

Resident Sue Seddon expressed how enjoyable she finds Abbeyfield.

“It’s great. So close to town…There are

some lovely people here…Everyone can come and go…It’s really good food. I am very comfortable, and I’ve been here two years…

And it wouldn’t exist without the volunteers.”

Committee member Dr Helen Kingston is Honorary Medical Officer and also heads the residency selection panel. Joan Reilly is another who helps out in many ways. They are just two members of a strong committee.

Joan sees volunteering as “paying forward” and Helen as “giving back” to the Golden Bay community. The women acknowledge the hard work and voluntary efforts of past volunteers.

“The help originally was amazing,” said Ann. “How so many people kept coming along to lend a hand, creating the patios, terracing and gardens – all the landscaping.”

With the upcoming AGM set for 30 June, the committee is looking for new recruits. Ann will step aside as she feels it’s time for “new blood”. The position of honorary treasurer will also become available as Bev Jensen will soon retire from the role.

Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Ann at 03 525 9547. For those considering residency, contact Helen at 03 525 9576. Visit www.abbeyfield.co.nz

Helping grow the country

Mask up, please

I put myself in the demographic of those older people with more time to spare and perhaps more cash for coffee drinking and sharing time with old mates. I am also in the Covid vulnerable demographic. So, it was fearful to stop at a local café to have coffee where the till operator wore a mask, the coffee-maker did not, and the server wore hers under her chin. If they want our business, cafés need to show more care for us, there are valid reasons for this. [Abridged] Heather Wallace

EPA glyphosate report

The Environmental Protection Agency has released its report summarising the 465 responses to its call for information regarding the use of glyphosate. It is now available on the EPA website. Its 51 pages cover topics ranging from human, soil and environmental concerns, to its benefits and being banned. Additional information in the form of attachments, journal articles, factsheets, a petition and a court transcript, are still to reviewed.

A decision to apply for grounds for reassessment has not been made at this time.

Penguin fence clarification

As the former chair of the Mohua Blue Penguin Trust (I resigned from my position on 16 May) I would like to correct a statement made in The GB Weekly (27/5) on the penguin fence at Port Tarakohe.

The statement that “the installation of the twin fences was recommended by a hearing panel in preference to an original proposal made by the Trust for a continuous structure which would have excluded all members of the public” is incorrect.

The Mohua Blue Penguin Trust lobbied Tasman District Council hard, but unsuccessfully, to have a card access gate included in the fence to give access to local fishers.

Grandstand reinstatement

Readers were no doubt surprised, as we were, to read of the grandstand budget blow-out. Prior to restoration being approved, detailed assessments of the grandstand were carried out by several highly qualified and independent experts.

At least two specialised in historic building restoration and earthquake strengthening, another was engaged by Tasman District Council and a seismic assessment was done by Aurecon.

I was there to witness wall boards being removed, floor boards uplifted, and iron removed to allow access for these experts – they were very thorough. Some timber was identified as needing replacement, but I find it difficult to comprehend that 97 per cent of the structural timber, all native, has since been removed, deemed unfit. So much for it being preserved as a heritage building. However, it is what it is, and I’m delighted that TDC has approved the additional funding to ensure the grandstand is completed. Thankfully that funding also includes completion of the car park and with a revised completion date of August 2022, full Code of Compliance can finally be issued

for the Recreation Centre, and our 125th show in January 2023 can proceed with full fanfare.

Noel Baigent, vice president GB A&P Assn The writing’s on the wall – sadly The mural work on the Pōhara public toilets has recently been tagged with a spray-can. What a shame.

Murals are usually an effective deterrent against vandalism.

The damaged area can be repaired but on closer inspection, the entire paintwork on the building is looking tired as is the case with other toilet blocks in the area.

For 16 years the Pōhara arty loo has serviced our community as an attraction and has appeared in publications as a place of interest to visitors.

A generation of young people have grown up thinking that art in the environment is normal.

When I set up these toilet block art projects with TDC, the dream back then was (still is), that when the paintwork got to its “use by date”, community groups, schools and artists would take up this opportunity to rejuvenate the walls with their own creations. The time has come for our locals to decide if they want arty loos to continue in our community culture, or not!

I have done my bit to set up going forward with this issue.

If you have an opinion either way and want to lodge your interest, just pop in to the TDC service centre briefly and say so.

Also, you may contact GB Community Board or GB Arts Council with a brief message. Easy.

Thanks from the Art Council

Feedback sought on Waitapu plan

Dallas Beckett Licensed Sales Consultant

JO RICHARDS

The public have one more week to provide feedback on a draft landscape plan for the Waitapu Bridge site.

The plan has been developed jointly by M a n aw h e n u a k i M o h u a (MKM) and Wak a Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, who together have been seeking a way to restore and protect Waitapu following years of abuse by freedom campers.

Director of regional relationships for Waka Kotahi Emma Speight says that, taking into consideration community input from last year, the plan provides the basis for future restoration and protection works. “We want to ensure the plan caters for everyone who visits this special place, whether they are people picnicking, on day trips, kayaking or launching their boat. At the same time, we need to protect this site for future generations.”

The proposed design for the reser ve shows a combination of day-parking spaces, boat trailer parking plus an area of mown grass.

After feedback from the community has been received, MKM and Waka Kotahi will finalise the plan and the work will begin, but it may be a length process.

“Changes to the site will be staged, as funding and materials become available,” says Emma. “We also need to work around the planting

seasons, so you may see some changes over the next few months, including initial minor earthworks to allow for future landscaping.”

MKM are keen to ensure a safe and welcoming place for everyone to enjoy, including during the redevelopment period.

“We are looking forward to involving the community in the planting and beautification of the site,” says MKM manager Ursula Passl.

“We are working towards a number of planting days this season and would love to hear from

anyone who is interested in joining us.”

WE’VE MOVED IN 2022!

Now at: 283 High Street, Motueka

Last Saturday’s Golden Bay Unity Conference, held as part of the Baha’i World Conferences, was described by more than one participant at the Kotinga Hall event as “just amazing”.

Focused on “Building our Future Together,” the morning programme covered discussions, videos, art activities and music, followed by a collaborative afternoon art activity and concluding after dinner with a discussion on “Where to Now?” This day was about community, and anyone with “a longing to foster unity and contribute to a better world” was welcomed.

A diverse group attended, not only Kiwi-born, but from different races and cultures: South American, European, Israeli, Iranian, Indian, and Pacific Islanders from Vanuatu, Tonga and the Solomon and Cook Islands.

Co-facilitator Hennie Pemberton said she found that diversity quite special.

“It added richness to the discussions and to our consultation.

Everybody was really listening to one another.”

Even the children contributed, presenting a play that demonstrated how listening to everybody’s viewpoint can provide a complete picture.

The theme of unity and “oneness” continued throughout the day. One morning activity involved circle paintings representing each person at the centre, with outwardly radiating circles encompassing family, friends and eventually the whole of humanity. A flood of ideas was exchanged on a wide range of topics, from “Local Characteristics and Aspirations in Golden Bay” to more wide-ranging issues of our world and Baha’u’llah’s vision for humanity. Later, the discussion “Building Vibrant Communities” raised issues encompassing many objectives, such as “Common Goals”, “Meaningful Conversations”, “Transcending Differences” and “Recognising our Oneness”.

“The collective mass just made this beautiful unfolding of lovely ideas,” said participant Debbie Pearson.

While preparing for the afternoon’s felting activity (making an ocean-inspired mobile), participants spoke of the ocean as having no boundaries, connecting people to their homelands, as a food basket, as ever-giving, awe-inspiring, limitless, cleansing.

“An internal dialogue happens in the process of creativity,” explained Hennie. “One person spoke about the depth and ‘unknowableness’ of the ocean and its richness and moods, like waves; that sometimes life can be so tumultuous and hard, and other times calm.

“What people brought to this day was wonderful,” added Hennie, “and hopefully what they take away will also be wonderful, thought provoking and help to focus our efforts

towards unity and service to the betterment of our community.”

Zoe Leetch helped facilitate the nuno-felting activity to create a meaningful art piece.

“You start with the silk fabric and the soft delicate merino and silk fibres, and you start to really gently rub them, wet them and warm them, and as you work they start to merge together. The more you do it the more they integrate, and you end up with this fabric that’s firm and solid and strong. I find that a really nice analogy; the process by which you make quite disparate, fragile elements into this quite strong fabric. What you end up with is united and can’t be taken apart.”

All service centres and libraries will be closed on Queen’s Birthday, Monday 6 June. Usual opening hours apply otherwise.

Protection for port penguins A colony of Little Blue Penguins at Port Tarakohe is to get increased protection following a decision to construct a fence to limit access to their breeding grounds, and fishers will still be able to cast a line out in the area.

At a meeting on 19 May, Councillors agreed to approve the construction of a fence at the port following an approach from the Mōhua / Golden Bay Blue Penguin Trust.

It was initially proposed that a fence of around 80 metres long with a locked gate be constructed to exclude people from the western arm of the port’s breakwater.

However following a round of public consultation, a proposal for two shorter, less visually intrusive fences with a gate controlled by a keypad or combination lock was approved.

Access for fishers will be available by a permit system, but all dogs will be banned. Educational brochures will be supplied to those requiring access.

The cost of construction of the fence is yet to be finalised but is expected to be less than $10,000 with the price of materials having already been met by the Mōhua / Golden Bay Blue Penguin Trust.

The area will be monitored by the Trust to measure the effectiveness of the protection measures and the arrangements will be reviewed by the Golden Bay Community Board every three years.

Wet wipe blockage at Tata A recent blockage at one of our Tata Beach sewage pumping stations has brought another reminder about not flushing wet wipes and other bulky items down toilets. It appears in this latest incident that an entire toilet roll may also have been flushed which combined with wet wipes to block the system.

Fortunately, a second pump kicked in which prevented an overflow, however inspections are underway to check to see what mechanical damage may have been caused by the blockage.

Remember, only flush the three Ps!

Recent developments include the release of the report by the independent working group around governance, representation and accountability for Water Services Entities.

The Government subsequently announced that 44 of the 47 recommendations made in the report will be incorporated into the legislation introduced to Parliament.

The Water Services Entities Bill is expected to be introduced to the House in mid-2022 and we will be able to make submissions on the Bill when it is referred to the Select Committee shortly after.

However, until the bill is introduced, we cannot be certain of the final structure that Tasman and other councils will operate under and therefore can’t make a definitive statement on what our submission will entail.

The impending legislation establishing the new Water Services Entities will reflect five key areas: ownership, co-governance, accountability, Te Māna o te Wai and strengthening connections with local communities, including sub-groups feeding into the Regional Representative Group.

The legislation outlined in the Water Services Bill represents one pillar of the national water reforms – the others being the establishment of the new water services regulator Taumata Arowai and reforms to water delivery services.

It’s important to differentiate that Taumata Arowai governs the health of the water being delivered and the national direction set within Te Māna o Te Wai which guides the protection and wellbeing of our freshwater.

Each plays a significant part in the overall water service delivery, with all combining to govern the safety and security of water from source to the tap.

The DIA website provides a detailed breakdown of the reform programme: dia.govt.nz/three-waters-reform-programme.

Red seaweed to green farming?

GOLDEN BAY

Tom Sturgess engaged the crowd at a recent U3A meeting, talking about Methane Mitigation Ventures (MMV), a company established to help reduce New Zealand’s farming emissions.

As well as being a sheep and beef farmer, businessman and investor, Tom is also a philanthropist. His interests cover social justice, wellness, education, climate change and helping lowincome families.

MMV is collaborating with the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) to conduct a two-year trial programme testing and measuring the effectiveness of a natural feed additive.

A red seaweed, called Asparagopsis, reduces methane emissions by 90 per cent in laboratory “glass cow stomachs”, and Asparagopsis armata grows wild around New Zealand. The real test – which excites Tom – is how Asparagopsis will perform in the live “churning urn” of a real cow stomach. In the rumen, when bacteria and enzymes work on gut content, carbon and hydrogen are released. Methane gas (CH4) forms and builds up until it is burped out.

The methane-reducing effects of Asparagopsis were first noticed in Ireland, where cows were eating seaweed washed up on the beach.

There is a chemical in Asparagopsis, called bromoform, which inhibits enzyme activity in gut microbes called methanogens, thus reducing methane production. Current scientific opinion is that these methanogens are not essential to the cow’s digestion, and reduced methane production will not affect bovine health.

There may even be some increase in cattle productivity as energy is diverted from methane production.

Bromoform, however, has been deemed as a probable carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency, so it is vital that after cows eat the chemical, no residue remains in milk or meat. Six companies are further researching this fluffy pink seaweed because much about it is still unknown.

Currently, the plan is to conduct trials producing data in NZ conditions. Other natural products identified as potentially beneficial are also being trialled. Tom explained that this has required applications for import certificates, exemptions, temporary patents and finally a permanent patent to make and sell the product.

Of the two main species of Asparagopsis that grow naturally, attached to other seaweed or solid substrate, in seas around Australia and NZ, A.armata prefers colder water and A. taxiformis prefers warmer conditions, so more needs to be understood about their different cultivation requirements. Trials are already

underway in Golden Bay. The seaweed has two stages of development in its lifecycle, so research is focused on seeding techniques to establish new plants, and propagation from cuttings. Projects are growing Asparagopsis in tanks, in flexible bladders and on ropes in the sea to create a continual harvest.

Tests will determine whether bromoform content is seasonal and predictable, what volume to feed to a cow, and if genetically bred seaweed can increase potency.

Freeze-drying reduces the effectiveness of the active substance, so scientists are studying preservation and handling.

Testing has been mainly conducted in feedlots, where a grain-based diet means less grass in the rumen. More trials will be done to assess benefits to cows in paddocks, the quantity required to reduce methane, and how palatable the product is. Work also will focus on how to deliver the substance to the animal, whether by bolus or other long-acting means, or changing bacteria in calves’ rumens.

If the effective daily supplement level equates to one per cent of a cow’s diet, then eating 16kg of dry matter daily will require the addition of 160gms of dry Asparagopsis every day.

NZ’s 6.28m dairy cattle would therefore need a supply of over 1000 tonnes of dry seaweed – daily.

Research continues in logistical, food safety and animal health areas, and MMV is committed to contributing to solutions. Tom predicted that the first commercial product will be available in 60 days. He considers that carbon credits should be available for it as well.

Fielding many questions from the audience, Tom concluded his “chat” by saying that “People working together can do stuff.

It is a team.”

In 2019, the Mohua (Golden Bay) community and members of the New Zealand Greenshell™ mussel industry came together and agreed to provide the Golden Bay Community Trust with 135 hectares of water space.

The water space had been secured after over 22 years of work, which was led by Bob Butts and Tom Sturgess. It’s an example of the community and industry working together for long-term benefit.

This week, the Golden Bay Community Trust signed a lease with Kono NZ LP, a wholly owned entity of Wakatū Incorporation to lease its water space. Wakatū Incorporation is owned by over 4,000 descendants of the customary Māori landowners, comprised of the whānau and hapū of Mohua, Whakatū and Motueka.

Kono NZ LP is the export food and beverage arm of Wakatū Incorporation, a successful business, which operates across the primary industry in Te Tau Ihu, including aquaculture, horticulture, and viticulture.

The lease arrangement includes support for charitable projects across Mohua, via the Trust.

This new relationship with Kono NZ LP will enable the Trust to be self-funding while enabling Kono access to a productive and proven aquaculture area.

POLICE REPORT Kia ora koutou e te whānau 25 May: An 18-year-old visitor was arrested on warrant after failing to appear in court.

28 May: A 19-year-old was summonsed to court charged with drink driving after an event in cobb valley.

29 May: A 41-year-old local male was charged with careless driving and driving with excess breath alcohol (third and subsequent) after crashing into the fence at Golden Bay High School. Thankfully, this occurred in the middle of the night and nobody was

injured. Thanks to all the emergency services and members of the public that assisted, it’s amazing how much activity there is at 3am in the morning!

Netball moves out Bay sides play at home and away

Action moved to the outside courts last week. Photo: Supplied.

SUBMITTED

Last week was the beginning of round two for the seniors in the winter netball league and the start of competition games for the juniors. Last week also saw the unfortunate flooding of the Rec Park gym which meant that all netball matches were played outside under lights on very cold nights. All teams coped with this situation very well.

A Grade play on a Tuesday and the first game of the night started a little messy but, after the first quarter, both teams settled in. Loose Screws’ solid defence meant that they pulled ahead by two points, but Bay Fitness didn’t give up and pulled it back in the third quarter to lead by a single point. Loose Screws again pulled off some great defence in the final quarter to take the win by three points.

The second game saw NBS take on Collingwood Tavern.

It was an intense game with impressive defending by both teams, but NBS took the game with a score of 29-21. Both teams displayed some slick passing and excellent feeding into the circles.

In the final game at 8pm, the ball was very dewy in the cold damp air, but both teams coped well to keep the ball in hand.

CAS A showed great accuracy but Courthouse’s strong defence saw them take the win.

On Thursday the juniors opened an action-packed evening with Tākaka Primary playing against the Wasps from Collingwood at 4pm. The kids showed fantastic skills, and they certainly didn’t let a little moisture stop them from having fun.

There were plenty of intercepts with Tākaka Primary taking away the win by five points. At 5pm, Central Tākaka played the Bumblebees from Collingwood, this was a well-fought contest with both teams quite evenly matched but the Bumblebees found a way to win by three points.

In the first game of the Seniors B Grade The Casuals played CAS B. Although The Casuals came out on top, CAS B’s skills are improving significantly with each game.

At 7pm Girls with Attitude took on GBHS. This was a very interesting match-up and a closely contested game, Girls with Attitude displayed their shooting skills and, although GBHS’s defence gave them a run for their money, Girls with Attitude took the win by four points.

In the final game of the chilly evening, SuperLiquor dominated the game early on, but Balls Ups came back fighting in every quarter and played a strong defensive game. Both teams showed great sportsmanship.

With the completion of last weekend’s round robin fixtures, Tasman Rugby’s Division 2 season is now more than half-way through.

Both of Golden Bay’s senior sides were in action again on Saturday. Tākaka hosted Waimea Old Boys Colts at the Rec Park and put on an impressive performance to beat the visitors 4326, while Collingwood, who travelled to Motueka, battled to a 17-all draw against Huia Hawks.

Tākaka hit their home turf running, posting 24 points in 24 minutes with no reply until half-an-hour into the game when the visitors broke their duck to take the half-time score to 24-5.

The Colts notched up a further 7 points shortly after the restart, but Tākaka hit back with two tries in as many minutes – from Alex Oakden and skipper Tom Bassett-Eason – to move the score along to 36-12. Although the Colts responded with a try of their own 8 minutes later, Tākaka restored their advantage, and effectively sealed the match, with a spectacular breakaway try scored by Tom Bassett-Eason. In the dying minutes

of the match, the visitors added another 7 points, but it was too little, too late.

Speaking after the game, coach Hamish Hills said “It was pretty good, especially against a team like that – one of the best. We were really clinical. I’m really proud of the guys.”

Collingwood also got off to a flying start against Huia Hawks with tries from Stephen McLellan and Kodie Dodson-Herron giving the Black and Gold a 10-point lead after only 16 minutes.

However, the Hawks came back with 3 tries plus a conversion to leap-frog into a 17-10 half-time lead. In the second-half, Collingwood clawed their way back to level pegging through a Kent Strange try, while denying their opponents any further points.

Neither of the senior teams are in action this weekend, but the competition resumes on Saturday 11 June.

Results for Junior leagues: U10s: Stoke vs Tākaka – away win; U12s: Nelson vs Tākaka – away win; U13s: Moutere vs Tākaka – home win; U14: Marlborough College Blue 62 vs Tākaka 17.

JO RICHARDS

In Saturday’s three o’clock home fixture, Golden Bay’s Shield Maidens lined up against what is arguably the best women’s football team in the Top of the South.

Nelson Suburbs 1st XI are a ruthless goal-scoring machine, brimming with talent and experience, and are hot favourites to take the Nelson Bays Football Division 1 title this season. But, despite heading home with a 7-0 win, the visitors didn’t have everything their own way; the Maidens also have some talented players of their own, plus a secret weapon – a combination of grit, determination and a never-say-die attitude.

In last week’s match against Blenheim Rangers, Suburbs banged in 14 goals, so there was a mild sense of trepidation on the Rec Park touchline before kick-off. The home side players, however, showed no nerves as the match got underway.

As anticipated, Suburbs dominated possession and were constantly on the attack, forcing the Maidens onto the back foot. Although they rode their luck at times, the Maidens also made some of their own through a string of saves from keeper Bianca Honey and some solid work from her defenders. It took Suburbs over half-an-hour to make the breakthrough.

The home side continued to run their blue and yellow socks off, pressing and closing down the opposition, but they couldn’t prevent Suburbs scoring two more goals before half-time.

Shortly after the break, the visitors extended their lead to 5-0 and began to play what appeared to be “two-touch” football; it made for rapid and elegant pass-and-move sequences, including a number of defence-splitting passes on the edge of the box, which caused all sorts of problems for the Maidens’ back line. It also netted the away side a further two goals before full-time.

Reflecting on the match, Maidens’ coach Phil Smith was delighted with his team who he said had shown “they belonged” in Division 1. “This was by far the best performance I’ve ever seen from the Shield Maidens. I absolutely am so proud of them. Suburbs said at half time they were shocked and not expecting such a hard game from a new Division 1 team.”

He urged supporters to turn up and cheer the Maidens on.

“Their never-give-up attitude is so inspirational. I’d encourage everyone to come down to their next home game to experience the atmosphere that they create during a game.”

Shield Maiden’s next home match is against Richmond Foxes on Saturday 11 June.

The Tākaka Open squash tournament is being held at the Rec Park Centre this weekend.

The annual event attracts players from far and wide. This year, however, the field is a little lighter than usual, but this is common across the country, according to Squash Canterbury.

The opening matches are scheduled for Friday evening, with play continuing all day Saturday and Sunday. The finals will be played from around 2pm on Sunday, followed by prizegiving.

“As usual we are very proud to have our amazing facility – it’s such a great place for players, spectators and everyone who heads along to make the weekend fun,” says Tākaka Squash Club secretary Sharon McConnon.

She acknowledges the tournament’s sponsors. “We are so very appreciative of them all – they play such an integral part in the running of our club. Some behind the scenes and others, being ITM, NBS and First National are our primary sponsors.

“Anyone who wishes to head up to watch some squash or to find out a bit more about joining the club, are most welcome.“

New hide the place to seek wildlife

JO RICHARDS

Bird-watchers have a new place to hide while seeking out views of Golden Bay’s spectacular shorebirds.

Last Wednesday, a crew from Mohua MenzShed installed a bird hide at Taupata Gravel Reserve, a notable roosting site close to Puponga.

The wooden structure is located on the seaward boundary of the reserve overlooking the extensive intertidal flats which, at low tide, extend to the horizon. It provides an unobtrusive vantage point from which to observe the range of species that gather nearby, including godwits, oyster catchers and royal spoonbills.

Cynthia McConville from Forest and Bird Golden Bay was there to witness the latest milestone in the campaign to repurpose the area. “We started when this was a freedom camping site and realised that we needed to do something to protect the birds.”

That was three years ago, and that “something” began with Forest and Bird creating a natural boundary of native grasses and shrubs at the shoreline. “The idea was to establish a barrier

around the area,” said Cynthia, who is pleased with the result.

“The planting has really taken off.”

Cynthia encourages everyone to visit the reserve, which is no longer a freedom camping site, check out the new hide and learn about local shorebirds. “It’s all about education; this is the way Forest and Bird have to go,” said Cynthia. “We hope schools will use it as well as visitors and locals; it’s open for everyone.”

She acknowledged the “huge support” from community members who had worked with Tasman District Council and the Department of Conservation to realise Forest and Bird’s vision. “A lot of people contributed,” said Cynthia. “Andy Clark designed it, ITM [Tākaka] supplied materials at cost, and MenzShed built it.

It’s also supported by the Ornithological Society of New Zealand as it’s a bird-count site for regional, national and international studies.”

Taupata is one of seven key shorebird sites in Golden Bay identified by Forest and Bird, according to Cynthia, so the new hide may be joined by others in due course. “It might be the first of several bird hides.”

Golden Bay’s “golden age” gardener

Awesome AZALEAS! * Versatile * Hardy * Winter colour!

RONNIE SHORT

Tui Boyes is one of the hardworking and consistent volunteer gardeners at Golden Bay’s Community Health facility.

A substantial number of garden beds and colourful planter boxes extend from the ambulance bay, around the maternity units, and surround the entire rest home wing. Within the complex are two garden courtyards, which the volunteers also maintain and replenish.

Assisted by one or two others, Tui spearheads the “golden age” garden volunteers. She is grateful for the half-day of work they each contribute. However, she says that now more volunteers are needed to lend a hand.

“Since the ups and downs of Covid and lockdowns, ensuing health issues have seen some volunteers fall by the wayside.”

In 2020, Tui was visiting a friend in residence, with whom she sat outside in the sun. She found the weeds in the flowerbeds vexing, so began pulling some out. At the time, the hospital gardener was away for a couple of months.

At a social gathering, Tui put out a call for help with her endeavours. A couple of people helped for a month or so, but then the first lockdown occurred.

“So it was five months before we were able to come back. I was initially so overcome – everything was covered in weeds,” said Tui. Remembering a saying from her daughter about how to eat an elephant – one bite at a time – Tui began at the beginning.

She was determined to beautify the gardens for the enjoyment of patients and residents.

Thanks to The Whittaker Trust, Rural Service Centre and FreshChoice community grants, Tui has been able to purchase much-needed resources: seven pallets of compost, three retractable and two ordinary hoses, stakes, tub mix, plants and seeds.

With hoses now situated at convenient distances, water no longer has to be carried by hand. The compost has been invaluable in building up the depleted soil. Now, after two years, the golden gardeners have finally been around all the gardens they are caring for.

The current hospital gardener works 16 hours a week, but Tui says it takes them a whole day just to mow the expansive lawns.

When The GB Weekly visited recently, Tui had been working in the gardens every day for four days. It keeps her a fit and

Local potter’s gallery “a must see” ROSA VOLZ

Sue Dasler’s Studio Pottery, adjacent to Collingwood’s Courthouse Café, is a must-see for locals and visitors.

The original building has been remodelled into a light and bright space for Sue to work in. The kiln doors were opened in October last year, and the studio is presided over by family dog Bella, who is on hand to welcome visitors.

The space houses both the working studio and gallery, showcasing a range of domestic ware and individual pieces.

These are inspired by New Zealand landscapes and coastlines and include Sue’s signature domestic ranges “Tapa” and the “South Coast Series”.

Sue has been a professional potter for over 30 years, since specialising in ceramics for an Art and Design qualification at Nelson Polytechnic. She was based for 20 years in the Nelson and Motueka areas, raising children, and for the last decade lived in Lyall Bay, Wellington, where she developed the South Coast Series.

“Wellington allowed me the opportunity to stop and look at what I was doing.”

The colour palette draws upon the south coast of Wellington, “with its blues and greens. The glazes are reminiscent of walking on the beach and looking at the wave-polished stones that you want to pick up and put in your pocket.”

Sue is well established in the industry and supplies over 30 outlets around the country. Her partner Jon describes her style as “clean fine form, simple, refined and not overly complicated.

The colours are soothing and [the] forms generous and tactile”.

The couple were brought to Bay by a “crazy manoeuvre” says Jon, when “we purchased the house behind the café sight unseen”. They both knew the area well after living and working in the Tasman region, and knew “the further west you travel, the better it gets.”When they first came to see their cottage (the original residence for the legal registrar to the courthouse) it was pointed out that the café was also on the market – so the couple decided to go for it. Sue explains: “We thought – why not? Let’s just try it. Because it ties the two properties back together.”

Despite “buying a café in the middle of a global pandemic with no prior hospitality experience,” they have landed on their feet, due to retaining the “most amazing staff that run THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 3 JUNE 2022

the café” says Jon. Café customers are served on domestic ware from the pottery as it is “a nice tie-in”, says Sue, “it makes the dining experience nicer, and [customers can] try before they buy.” Also adorning the walls and shelves are examples of her works – including ceramic heads and figures of iconic New Zealand seabirds.

Having a studio alongside the café allows Sue to engage directly with visitors, see how people react to her work and to receive feedback. From her studio windows she can observe the local estuarine birdlife at the Aorere River mouth and draw inspiration from the Burnett and Whakamarama ranges. “The tranquility of the landscape is otherworldly.”

TEMPORARY POWER INTERRUPTION FOR GOLDEN BAY SUNDAY 12 JUNE 2022, 9:00AM – 3:00PM Network Tasman needs to undertake essential planned work at our substation in Motupipi. 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.

MINIMISING DISRUPTION To minimise disruption Network Tasman will install a portable generator to keep the power supply on in selected areas.

The generator will supply: Commercial Street Takaka excluding #1, 3, 194 & 199 - 203: side streets off Commercial Street between and including Junction Street to Feary Crescent; areas West of Takaka; Upper Takaka and the Takaka Valley through to but not including Central Takaka Road and East Takaka Road.

Customers in the generator supply areas will experience a brief outage when the generator is disconnected in evening.

Takaka

The generator is able to supply an area fed by a high voltage feeder line/cable. We have chosen these areas to maximise the benefit of the generator and keep supply on to as many customers as possible while avoiding areas where maintenance work will be undertaken.

If we need to postpone the shutdown due to weather or a network emergency, the alternate date is Sunday 19 June.

Network Tasman will also carry out localised maintenance on the distribution network while the substation is out of service.

PREPARING FOR THE OUTAGE 1. If a member of your household is medically dependent on electricity, you should contact your medical provider for advice.

2. Store enough drinking water from wells before the power goes off.

3. If required, fill your car with petrol the night before.

4. 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.

5. For your protection, treat all lines, electrical installations and wiring as live during the shutdown.

Planting of tōtara and kahikatea trees is being organised at two restoration sites within the Wainui Ngahere Queens Canopy Covenant area, adjacent to the walkway, on Saturday 4 and Monday 6 June from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

The Mussel Inn

If you would like to assist with planting please txt Anna 027 275 5594.

Coming Up...

For further information on Friends of East Mohua please email friendsofeastmohua@gmail.com Some background: Manawa Energy are supporting planting along the skyline ridge above Tata Beach and Ligar Bay which can be seen from across Golden Bay. Tōtara trees were once a dominant feature of the forest here but unfortunately, this area was damaged during logging operations on the neighbouring property in 2015. The landowners have teamed up with Friends of East Mohua who will bring together community volunteers to replant this area with locally sourced tōtara trees and create a walking track for the benefit of future generations.
