A group of seven young people have formed a Youth Council and will meet monthly at Tākaka’s Youth Habitat.

Working with youth workers Tom Lake of the Rec Park Centre, and Jess Jacquier of Youth Habitat, they are releasing a survey for youth.

Via social media such as Instagram and Youth Habitat’s Facebook page, the survey aims to collect feedback about what the youth of Golden Bay wants. Each completed survey goes into the draw for one of four great prizes: • Paddleboard hire at Tata Beach, during summer of course, which includes three friends • A Bluetooth speaker • Two sets of wireless headphones Head students Isaac Pawley (GB High School) and Lilly Bain (Collingwood Area School),

Claire Sparrow, Tiana Olney and home school students Tilly Orchard, Deva Baanvinger-Singh, and Ruby Watson make up the Youth Council.

Although the group operates as a separate entity, they work together with Youth Council Co-ordinator, Jess.

“We use the space and get involved at the same time,” said Lilly.

“The same information is useful to both groups and the Rec Park Centre,” added Jess.

They have come up with several potential topics with the aim of finding out what local youth want them to focus on. Transport has been identified as a big one for young people living in Golden Bay. “It is one big limiting factor as to things you can do here,” said Isaac.

Other topics of interest are wellbeing, arts and creativity, activities and courses. Tick boxes

are provided on the forms, with space for youth to add their own ideas under “Other”.

Hard copies of the survey will also be available throughout Golden Bay High and Collingwood Area Schools, Tākaka Library and the Youth Habitat.

“There’s usually someone at the Youth Habitat from 11am-5pm daily,” said Jess. “Dropins are welcome.”

Deadline date for survey submission is 8 July.

Those 11-24 years are eligible.

Jess, youth worker Tullia Wilson and Tom will collate the results and present them to the Youth Council. From there the team will make their decisions as to where their focus needs to be.

Online survey forms are available on Instagram@theyouthabitat and Facebook: Golden Bay Youth Habitat

REMEMBER: Deadline next week is a day early, Monday 20th at 12pm.

GB Community Board JO RICHARDS

Tuesday’s meeting of Golden Bay Community Board was a relatively long affair thanks to several issues raised in Public Forum, two external presentations, plus a couple of lengthy discussions.

Public Forum Public Forum opened with Noel Baigent speaking about the council’s funding options to cover the cost overrun of the grandstand reinstatement ($195,000) and the construction of the Rec Park car park ($300,000). TDC’s latest proposal is to fund both from the Golden Bay Ward Reserve Financial Contribution (RFC) account, but Noel asked the community board to recommend only the former was funded by the RFC, with the car park costs being covered by general rates. “It’s too much for Golden Bay to pay for both; it leaves very little in the fund.”

The topic was discussed in some detail later in the meeting.

Public Forum regular Reg Turner expressed his concern about the lack of mobility parking in Collingwood before calling for tighter speed restrictions.

“Motueka has a 30kmph limit in town; can we have the same limit in Tākaka and Collingwood?”

Later in the meeting it was explained that the lower limit was likely to be introduced for Tākaka’s Commercial Street as part of its planned upgrade.

Paul Sangster squeezed three issues into his allotted five minutes. He began by pointing out that the proposed penguin fence at Port Tarakohe may need to be pulled down periodically to allow for maintenance of the rock wall. He was also concerned about who would pick up the bill for fence maintenance. “We don’t want ratepayers to pay for this.”

During Chair’s Report, TDC finance manager Mike Drummond clarified that “ongoing maintenance [of the fence] will be borne by council…funded through general rates”. He added that the gates would be constructed to allow access for maintenance.

Paul’s second topic concerned the proposed landscaping development at Waitapu, specifically the effect of installing a rock wall under the bridge, which he said was “ridiculous” and would “block the river off”.

Referring to the proposed landscaping during Chair’s Report, community board member Dave Gowland concurred with Pauls’ assessment. “Approaches [on the...

POWER INTERRUPTION POSTPONED FOR GOLDEN BAY SUNDAY 19 JUNE 2022, 9:00AM – 3:00PM Network Tasman decided to postpone the Golden Bay outage that was scheduled for Sunday, 12 June. The outage will now take place on the advertised alternative date of Sunday 19 June.

We made this decision for the safety of our contractors based on the forecast risk of electrical storms on Sunday 12th.

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.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 17 JUNE 2022

GB Community Board - June Continued from page 1 ...river] to and under the bridge need to be kept open…the design under the bridge is cluttering it up.”

It was agreed that GBCB would highlight the potential impacts of the landscaping to Waka Kotahi.

The ex-councillor’s final point related to the lack of feedback from TDC to those who had submitted to last year’s consultation on the Outstanding Natural Landscapes project. “There has been no acknowledgement of submissions,“ said Paul who asked the board to help. “Please find out what’s happened.”

This was discussed by the board in the Chair’s Report with councillor Chris Hill stating that TDC “have meetings scheduled with landowners”.

The final contributor to Public Forum, chair of Pakawau Community Residents Association Nigel Lloyd, provided a update on the consent application for a rock seawall.

Acknowledging the helpful input from TDC’s planning team and councillor Celia Butler, Nigel said the residents were ready to submit the required information and asked the community board to “keep supporting us”.

Presentations Two presentations followed Public Forum.

First up, speaking on behalf of Pest Free Onetahua, was Tracey Osbourne who provided the board with an update of the project. Her presentation covered the history of the initiative and outlined the recently-published plan (see GBW 4/6) to eradicate pests from Farewell Spit. Tracey explained that the ambitious eradication plan was different to the more commonly used cyclical suppression strategy and would involve the deployment of around 5,000 devices plus a “one-off” drop of 1080 on the spit.

Tracey said that, although Predator Free NZ Ltd had provided around $3m to fund the first stage of the project, a further $6m would need to be secured to complete the work.

In the second presentation, TDC strategic policy advisor Amy Smith spoke about Three Waters “Better Off Funding” which is to be distributed by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) to local authorities in recognition of the transfer of water infrastructure responsibilities to new management entities.

The $2bn fund will be delivered in two tranches – $5.64m this year, and the balance in 2024. TDC has been allocated a total of 22.54m, putting Golden Bay in line for $1.95m, of which the first $450,000 will be available from next month.

Amy outlined the criteria set by the DIA which include: supporting transition to a sustainable and low-emissions economy; delivery of infrastructure to enable housing development and growth; and supporting improvements in community wellbeing. She provided examples of potential tranche 1 projects for Golden Bay, such as relocating recreational berths at Port Tarakohe, supporting redevelopment of Onetahua Marae, and constructing a pump track or bike park.

Amy invited the board to make suggestions. “We would love to hear where you see the priority for the community.”

The board agreed to conduct a workshop later in the week in order to develop ideas.

Chair’s Report In addition to the items raised in Public Forum, the Chair’s Report also discussed several topics, including: Motupipi cycle bridge: The GB Cycle and Walkways Society

have requested that the new bridge is named after local cycling advocate, the late Christine Pullar. Acting GBCB chair Grant Knowles explained that the request will be discussed with Manawhenua ki Mohua before the next board meeting.

Youth Council: The board encouraged representatives of the Youth Council to attend the monthly GBCB meetings.

Christmas decorations: The board agreed to provide up to $8000 from Special Projects funding for two sets of LED lights which will be installed at Tākaka's Village Green during the festive period.

Discretionary funding applications The board considered the Rec Park Centre’s application for $950 to help fund the mid-winter fireworks event. After it had been pointed out that the $500 granted for last year’s cancelled Santa Parade would not have been spent, it was agreed to grant a further $450 only.

An application for $500 received from Project De-Vine Environmental Trust to cover local pest control work was granted.

Reserve Financial Contributions (RFC) TDC reserves and facilities manager Richard Hollier fielded questions on his report which provided an update on: the current status of the Golden Bay RFC account; the reserves and facilities projects proposed for the next two financial years; and the Special Purpose Committee capital project and maintenance requests for the 2022/2023 financial year.

Referral Report – Golden Bay Grandstand The two largest expenditures identified in the RFC 2022/23 budget were items raised earlier in Public forum – the grandstand cost overrun, and the construction of the Rec Park Centre car park.

Funding options for these projects were described in the council’s referral report and discussed at length by the board.

The possibility of funding the completion of the grandstand from the RFC account while exploring other sources to cover the cost of the car park was suggested by board member Dave Gowland. But Richard Hollier, Mike Drummond and Joe Bywater all stressed the need to complete both as soon as possible in order to keep costs down, and to ensure the Rec Park Centre’s long-overdue code compliance certificate could be issued.

After further debate, the board voted by 3:2 in favour of the report's recommended “to fund both the completion of the grandstand refurbishment and the Golden Bay Recreation Park car park upgrade from the Golden Bay Ward Reserve Financial Contributions”.

Action Sheet Amongst the actions reviewed, Dave expressed his frustration that the question of road occupations had still not been addressed by TDC staff. Mike Drummond concurred.

“Staff should confirm to the board where it is on the work programme.”

On the subject of the Memorandum of Understanding – the document that will define the relationship between the board and council – it was noted that the Local Government Commission (LGC) had not yet provided any input on GBCB’s proposal. The board agreed that an August deadline should be set for the LGC to respond.

The next GBCB meeting is at 9.30am on Tuesday 12 July at Golden Bay Service Centre, Tākaka.

LE T TERS A win for cats and the environment

Cats are important companion animals for many people, cats are also major predators of wildlife and spreaders of toxoplasmosis and Toxocara cati. There is no debating these points.

There is a simple answer to those who want feline companionship and for those people who wish to protect wildlife. Contain cats.

Cats are mostly crepuscular hunters, ie dawn and dusk.

Keeping cats indoors particularly early evening till later morning helps wildlife. Cats are safe inside and trappers removing feral cats can do so safely. An ID collar and bell would aid feral cat identification.

The best of all options is to contain your cat at all times. A cat door leading to a catio, gives cats safety and a healthy, long life, thus avoiding neighbourly accusations and fear for the cat’s welfare, and helps the welfare of treasured wildlife. We expect no less of dog owners.

Golden Bay has the good fortune of dedicated cat rescuers and dedicated wildlife carers. The needs of both is met by simple cat containment. Containment can be spacious and suitably furnished. This will eventually be a requirement, as it is becoming in many places around the world. We could be leaders here in Golden Bay. Heather Wallace

Sustainable development and marine farming

Recent murmurings of marine farming growth in Golden Bay is concerning for many people around the coastal fringes. Under the guise of growth, the ideals of sustainable development have become oxymoronic. The greenwashing of industrialised expansionism is merely an attempt to repackage "more growth".

The revenue gained through the [GB] Community Trust via marine farming offers some gains for community organisations.

Conveniently, the undesired effects from marine farming activities such as noise and rubbish are not mentioned. To gain social licence to operate within Golden Bay, it makes sense to offer remuneration to offset the unwanted outputs from this industry’s activities.

Funding from the government props up industrial expansion of marine farming in NZ. The impacts will intensify with this growth. In 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform

on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reported that expansion of industrial activities is harming the biosphere.

The concepts of economic growth are detached from industrial outputs, therefore, the desires for economic growth are in fact, destabilising nature’s equilibrium. The IPBES claims that aquaculture amongst other industries are often associated with over-exploitation of natural resources, as well as inefficient production and waste management. Along with this, vested interests may oppose the removal of subsidies or the introduction of environmental policies.

It seems quite clear that the wider community needs to be involved in decisions going forwards. Policies act as a guide rail for industry activities, and the community can ask that marine farming reduce their adverse effects within the Bay. Rod Barker, Marine Farming Impacts Group

ROSA VOLZ

“What does a sustainable community look like to you?” asks Debbie Pearson at the launch of the Mohua 2042 Sustainability Strategy. A confronting question for some, and one that has dictated the vision and content of the Strategy.

Debbie, along with a core group of dedicated community members, has undertaken the task of “corralling information and community ideas – and honouring those amazing ideas – to create a living document”. Key proponent Sol Morgan tells The GB Weekly that the strategy published in May took three years to get to this point. It builds upon an earlier work commissioned by the Golden Bay Workcentre Trust in 2002, envisioning needs and issues until 2022. We are now asking ourselves, he says, “what does the next 20 years look like?”

The celebratory event took place last Thursday with a large crowd of participants at the Senior Citizens' Hall. Led with a karakia, it was a collaborative event with short speeches, and attendees called upon to (often hilariously) perform a charade for each strategic category.

The Strategy vision, “Thriving Community, Healthy Environment” is underpinned by the statement: “Our vision is for a flourishing community that is adaptable, caring and inclusive. We work in concert with nature to preserve and improve our environment. Our sustainable approach inspires others.”

This is considered under 11 key categories, each with

attendant visions and strategies, and “each closely aligned and intertwined,” explains Debbie. Practical execution and acknowledgement of existing work is a strong theme. Each category is further broken down into further gaps and opportunities, and projects that are underway.

The launch leaves little doubt that the strategy is only the foundation, says community board member Grant Knowles.

“This is the start, now the real work begins.”

Grant draws inspiration from Agriculture Minister the Hon Damien O’Connor’s proposal that Golden Bay could be a showcase for sustainable living in New Zealand.

The strategy execution is entirely reliant on the volunteerism of the community, with some potential to set up funding mechanisms. The next steps are already underway, with working groups planned to delve into food resilience, and “building a sustainable brand”.

“We want to capitalise on the momentum [we have created] and move things forward,” says Debbie. The strategy is available to read here: https://tasman.govt.nz/my-community/asustainable-community/ Debbie adds: “I have a deep love of the natural world and I love being in a community that works and aligns in the same direction. [I believe] anything is possible with a collective vision and collective energy.”

The team is interested in community feedback and volunteers for future projects.

In my garden, I appreciate the diversity, a mix of vegetables, herbs, fruiting plants, natives, specimen trees and shrubs.

Luckily for me, someone thought to plant a beautiful Jacaranda mimosifolia in my backyard. I view it from my kitchen window, noticing the changes as it shifts from leafy growth to flowers in a startling show without its leaves. A tree like this provides many benefits other than beauty for the garden. In full summer it is my favourite place to sit with my coffee and a good book in the shade. It has been a great climbing tree for our children, and our cat enjoys it still. A tree in this position offers a visible place for children to play, perhaps on a swing hung from its now large branches.

Finding the right tree for your garden is a matter of taste and situation. Soil condition, garden size, space available and shelter are big factors influencing your choice. We are lucky to have good rainfall in the Bay, so most trees won’t lack water.

Having too much can be an issue, however, on the heavier clay soils. Sections with limited space may be better suited to deciduous trees that make winter sun more available in the home. With space or the right position (like to the south), evergreen trees offer a good choice.

Establishing shelter prior to planting selected specimen trees is wise.

Small gardens Even a small garden can have one significant specimen that claims the space as the feature tree. Something like the native South Island kōwhai (Sophora microphylla), small and leguminous with attractive fern-like foliage and profuse yellow flowers that birds so love. A deciduous option is the beautiful red-leaved dwarf Japanese maple (Acer palmatum), best grown in semi-shade out of strong wind.

Tree planting Select an appropriate position, taking into consideration the shade in the future. Grub off the surface vegetation and dig an appropriate hole twice the size of the planter bag. If it holds water after an hour, add drainage pipe or mound up the tree. Soak plant roots in water. Tease out roots, and trim if

bound. Place in the hole about 3cm below the top of top of roots. Scrape soil back into the hole, adding compost to poor soil. Firm well. Grass sods can be upturned in a circle around the hole, too. Water well.

Tree care Provide supports in windy spots. Additional wind cloth may be needed. Once the tree is established, mineral fertilisers and woody mulch can be added all around the planting area and beyond to encourage root growth.

Deciduous trees Notable for their startling colour and form: American red/swamp maple (Acer rubrum). A broadly columnar tree, fast growing, with magnificent bright-red leaves in autumn. Leaves can be toxic to horses. Used for maple syrup and furniture timber. Prefers moist soils but will tolerate swampy soils.

Copper beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’). A large, broadly spreading tree growing up to 25 metres. Has distinctive colourful leaves changing from red to dark purple.

Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba). An attractive tree with fan-shaped lime-green leaves that turn bright yellow in autumn. Prefers moist soil on a sheltered site. Relatively slow-growing. Reaches 15 metres.

Scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea). A broadly conical tree reaching 20 metres, with drooping branches, dark-red bark and dark-green foliage, turning a brilliant scarlet in autumn. There are many other suitable oak varieties, too.

Thornless honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos f. inermis) is an elegant spreading tree growing up to 20 metres with bright-green fern-like leaves that go yellow in autumn.

It thrives in the heat and dry, but tolerates moist soil.

European/Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior). A large fastgrowing tree reaching 30 metres, with fantastic bright-

yellow autumn foliage. The smaller golden ash also has distinctive golden young branches in winter.

The silk tree (Albizia julibrissin) has a stunning spreading form. Its soft, ferny canopy creates lovely dappled light.

Ideal shade tree for the garden or lawn. Soft, fluffy, pink flowers appear above the foliage over the summer.

Dogwoods (Cornus florida) are sub-canopy trees with a variety of colours – both of leaves and flowers – to choose from. The new “Cherokee sunset” has incredible leaves that change throughout the season.

Evergreens Titoki (Alectryon excelsus) is a handsome, small, spreading tree with shining, standout dark-green foliage. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

Karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus) is another beautiful, dense tree with large glossy-green leaves and ornamental orange fruit. Prefers coastal frost-free sites.

Evergreen magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), along with the other deciduous magnolia varieties, are wonderful specimen trees. Smaller varieties like “Teddy Bear” offer a more compact (5m). They have shiny, deep-green leaves and large, creamy softly fragrant white flowers.

Western cedar (Thuja plicata) is fantastic, conical conifer reaching 30 metres. The fine green foliage turns a red/ bronze colour over winter. Very hardy.

Walking and Cycling Strategy moves forward

Wetland restoration collaboration for generations to come

A vision for a new safe and accessible transport system that will provide the platform for transforming the way we get around Tasman’s urban centres has become a reality.

Our wider Motupipi River Catchment enhancement works have seen "a little gem" of a constructed wetland take shape on a family farm near Tākaka.

After four years in the planning phase, and following months of consultation, public information sessions, submissions and hearings, our new Walking and Cycling Strategy has been adopted.

Tony and Kathy Reilly have generously retired 7,400m² of productive farmland on Berkett Creek for wetland restoration work, starting the previously drained and straightened waterway on its journey to improving the health of this important tributary.

The strategy focuses on providing residents with safer choices about how they travel, by improving walking and cycling across the urban areas of Tasman and sets a framework for the creation of a high standard of connected cycle networks in those areas.

Through the Reilly’s generosity and assistance from the Ministry for the Environment’s Jobs for Nature programme, over 100 digger hours, 1,000 people hours and 4,000 plants have been invested in the future water quality of Mohua over the past year.

The strategy proposes:

The stream is once again full of diverse habitat for fish, kōura and shrimp. In flood, the stream will overflow into adjacent wetlands, filtering out sediment and contaminants.

• Slow speed areas in our town centres • Some slow speed residential ‘neighbourhood greenway’ streets • Shared paths in some places • Safer crossings for pedestrians, particularly on busier roads and near schools.

Close to 250 submissions were received during the consultation process which led to a great deal of fine-tuning and amendments before the strategy was adopted by the Strategy and Policy Committee.

Targets within the strategy aim to get a much larger proportion of journeys to work and school by either walking or biking in the next 15 to 20 years. This will create a safer transport environment, improve the health and wellbeing of our residents, and help reduce congestion and carbon emissions.

This closely aligns with the Government’s recently released Emissions Reduction Plan.

With the adoption of the Walking and Cycling Strategy, we can look forward to an improved safer transport network, healthy communities, vibrant urban surroundings and a cleaner thriving environment.

Wetland Restoration Project Manager Blair Reid says the Reilly project is a good example of farmers displaying guardianship of the land with a view beyond their own lifetimes.

“The really inspiring aspect of this work is the coming together of two worlds that are sometimes seen as totally different, productive farming and environmental restoration.“ “One of the points of difference is the way the design integrates the stream and wetland ecosystems as it once would have been ... it really is a little gem.”

There are no changes to the rubbish and recycling collections and all resource recovery centres will be open as normal.

Some superheroes are unassuming, quietly moving among us but working tirelessly in our Tasman communities. Some assist at sports clubs, volunteer in environmental groups or help with the administration of community organisations.

Please note, nominees must be residents of Tasman District and have been involved in a range of voluntary activities for 20 years or more.

Tasman District Council, the Department of Internal Affairs and the Rata Foundation are on the road and travelling to Motueka, Richmond, Murchison and Tākaka to support community organisations who are looking for funding.

Whether it’s saving lives, protecting the environment, or coaching a sports team, not much would get done without the hard work of local volunteers.

Being a remote rural community, Golden Bay relies heavily on its own members to step up and contribute in myriad ways – from emergency response and conservation work, to youth support and animal welfare. And just about everything in between.

Such community-minded efforts often go unsung but, for seven days starting this Sunday, the country’s estimated one million volunteers will be put in the spotlight by Volunteering New Zealand (VNZ). VNZ’s National Volunteer Week Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu runs from 19-25 June and “celebrates the collective contribution of all volunteers who enrich Aotearoa New Zealand”.

New Zealanders are some of the world’s most generous volunteers; information from Statistics New Zealand shows that the 21.5 per cent of Kiwis who undertake volunteer work contribute a total of around 160 million hours of formal labour each year, worth an estimated $4 billion.

Golden Bay's first responders are are a vital and highly-

valued part of that national contribution. "A simple thank you does not seem like enough to recognise the mahi being done by our volunteers in Golden Bay," says St John area support manager for Nelson Bays Jackie Krammer. "Whether crewing an ambulance or first response unit, making calls as part of our Caring Caller service or representing the Golden Bay community on the Nelson and Tasman Bay Area Committee, volunteers play a vital role in ensuring Golden Bay residents and visitors are well looked after."

But challenges remain, according to VNZ’s latest State of Volunteering Report. Amongst other issues, the report highlights an ageing volunteer workforce compounded by a lack of younger volunteers, the struggle to recruit and retain volunteers, and, for small organisations in particular, the difficulty of raising funds in what is a very competitive sector.

To help celebrate and support Golden Bay’s volunteers, The GB Weekly will provide a platform for local organisations to explain what they do, and how the local community can contribute to the cause and/or get involved.

Your local Lions are still dedicated to doing what we can to help our local community in as many ways as possible.

We do this by raising money in a wide variety of ways so that we can help numerous organisations, groups and individuals, such as the rescue helicopter, St John or child cancer.

We also help to fund students wishing to gain a range of experiences or further education – and there’s plenty of potential amongst the young people in our schools.

Like most things currently, however, we are facing some major challenges. Covid restrictions in particular are stopping us from selling raffle tickets.

The other major one is that as our members get older we are not getting new, younger and fitter members who have the strength for activities like woodchopping, digging up potatoes or just bringing in new ideas.

We will be busy pickling onions in the next few weeks.

We need new members and supporters to join in our activities so that we can continue to make Golden Bay an even better community. Height, weight, hair colour or quantity, or favourite beverages do not matter – we will welcome anyone.

The environmental volunteer group, Friends of East Mohua joined forces with conservationist land-owners Anna and Chris Charlton and Manawa Energy staff over Queen’s Birthday weekend to plant 400 kahikitea and tōtara trees at two restoration sites in the Wainui Ngahere Queen’s Canopy Covenant area.

The planters were blessed with two sunny mornings over the weekend and made light work of planting out a wetland area with kahikatea on Saturday and the ridgeline overlooking Ligar Bay and Tata Beach with tōtara on Monday. The Charlton’s have placed a covenant on their land to protect this significant area of native forest for future generations to enjoy.

“It’s been fantastic to see the Golden Bay community in action and meet some of the wonderful folk putting in their time to help our native species thrive. Joining the Friends of East Mohua is a great way to serve the environment and meet some like-minded people while you’re at it,” says Annie Tangata, Community Engagement Advisor at Manawa Energy.

Thanks to Manawa Energy, operators of the Cobb Power Station, who provided the funding for this planting and to Pete at West Bank Native Nursery for supplying the trees. If you would like to get involved with the Friends of East Mohua volunteer group, please email friendsofeastmohua@gmail.com

Black and Gold continue search for elusive first win

Mud men: Collingwood look to recycle the ball in Saturday's home tie against Riwaka. Photo: Jo Richards.

JO RICHARDS

Last Saturday Collingwood players stepped out onto home turf for the first time in six weeks. A combination of away fixtures, Queen’s Birthday, plus a bye, meant most fans of the Black and Gold had been deprived of watching their team in action.

It wasn’t a particular happy homecoming, however, as visitors Riwaka edged a narrow victory in a low scoring, but highly entertaining scrap, on a very muddy field.

The wild weather made its presence felt from the start, with rain, hail and strong winds sweeping down the Aorere Valley.

Nothing out of the ordinary for the Collingwood lads, though, and they were straight into the visitors. The persistent pressure produced a penalty after around 10 minutes, which was successfully converted into three points by skipper Ryan McKay. Riwaka responded by releasing their lively backs down the

right-hand flank, but Collingwood held firm and countered every attack.

Just 15 minutes into the match and it was becoming increasingly difficult to tell the teams apart; the black and gold, and blue and white hooped jerseys taking on a uniform brown hue from the Aorere mud. The conditions were hardly conducive to slick passing, but the home side strung together a number of tidy moves and came within inches of registering the first try of the match.

The visitors rallied and moved onto the offensive, but were let down by handing errors, the ball squirming from their grasp like a slippery fish. Although Riwaka continued to threaten, Collingwood’s defence stood firm and, on more than one occasion, eased the pressure with some decisive kicking.

During the final 10 minutes of the first half, cheered on by local supporters, the home side again came agonisingly close to

scoring but couldn’t force the ball over the line. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the Black and Gold increased their lead but, out of nowhere, and with seconds to go before the break, one of Riwaka’s rapid backs broke free and ran half the length of the paddock before calmly placing the ball down over the line. The subsequent conversion gave the visitors a 7-3 advantage at half-time.

After the break, Riwaka forced Collingwood onto the back foot as the rain continued to sluice down. The difficulty of playing in such cold, wet conditions caused some frustration, which occasionally boiled over, but the referee quickly diffused any arguments before they developed into full-on mud wrestling. And the match official was probably as relieved as anyone when he blew the final whistle to allow everyone to head for shelter. Final score: Collingwood 3 vs Riwaka 7.

Tomorrow, Collingwood host Tākaka, kick-off 2pm.

Bay netballers compete in Top of the South tournament

Golden Bay's winter netball mid-week competition games were called off last week due to horrible weather conditions. But on Sunday, GB Netball club took an U18s representative team to the Top of the South Betty Woodham tournament in Blenheim.

In their first game of the day against Nelson, GB started off a little shaky but finished the game strong as their goal percentages went up and the through court defence got stronger. The game finished with a 30-11 victory for Nelson.

In back-to-back games, GB then faced off against Marlborough. The opposition were a tall, strong team but GB

used their superior speed against them and beat them through court with quick passes and fast feet. The game was quite physical and, despite their best efforts, GB couldn’t stop their sharp shooters scoring their way to a 42-11 win.

GB's final game of the day was against Selwyn. "Our first quarter was the best start we had all day, our goal percentages were high, feeding into the circle was on point and our defenders were keeping them away from their goal," said coach Sheree Peters.

Selwyn slowly edged ahead as GB players became tired and cold, but they didn't give up. Final score: GB 10 vs Selwyn 42.

Sheree heaped praise on her team. "Overall so proud of the girls with the little time we hard to prepare. They were dedicated and listened to coach. They went out there and played their absolute best. Golden Bay hasn’t had any rep teams in several years so we were going into the unknown but the girls rose to the challenge."

The players selected for the Golden Bay U18 Rep team are: Amelia Swan, Catherine Hockly, Hayley Page, Pippa Struck, Stella Scotland, Lilly Bain, Shikana Palmer, Maddy Holland, Hesta Davies, Bonnie Rhodes. Coach: Sheree Peters. Manager: Jess Miller. Event organiser: Annie Godsiff.

GOLDEN BAY'S NEWS IN BRIEF Caitlin Welsh musical performance this Sunday SUBMITTED

World class piano player Caitlin Welsh is on tour with her new show. She has played classical piano pieces of the great masters, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart since she was a young girl and her repertoire has both classical, and her own compositions. The concert begins with flute and pan drums, moving into slow classical piano pieces followed by her own relaxing, flowing compositions, including bling with mantras played on her 12-string guitar.

“We are in a time of change and it is really important to find quality time to relax and recharge. Music is healing, helping us to feel at peace within and face our challenges with renewed inspiration. It guides me through my life, and enables my audiences to overcome obstacles we are being presented with this decade,” says Caitlin.

As Caitlin plays, a slideshow of photos by Ian Trafford showcasing nature in New Zealand will be shown.

NZ nature photographer Ian was hooked by the magic of a box brownie camera as a child and has spent most of his life wandering with a camera. His evocative nature images will be visual accompaniment to Caitlin's equally evocative music.

Programmes to listen out for: Fresh Talks with Matt

Matthew Fitzgerald, ex co-host of The Fitz Family breakfast returns to Fresh FM with his own show.

Join Matthew on Thursday afternoons at 4.00, for Matthew Fitzgerald’s Show.

Heads Up

Is brought to you by The Brain Injury Association Nelson and The Neurological Foundation. It brings you up-to-date information about brain injury and neurological conditions. Hear from leading professionals working in research, prevention, treatment and management of symptoms. Also listen out for up and coming events and details on support groups.

Kindly supported by The Nelson Clinic and airs Thursday mornings at 9:06 after the BBC News, with a new episode every 2 weeks.

A painting to stimulate the power of imagination will soon appear on Commercial Street as part of the annual Golden Bay Matariki celebration.

Local artist Aralyn Doiron will be painting the celestial Matariki story on the Arts Council front window to celebrate the Māori New Year.

“The idea behind doing a painting live is to invite folks into the experience of art-making and to stimulate the imagination,” explains Aralyn. “Creating the piece over three days invites interaction with locals passing by.”

The design will depict the dark night sky with the usual smattering of stars, but will also reveal some imaginative surprises.

Aralyn uses a special technique of applying paint in reverse, which she learnt as a teenager painting windows for merchants in her home town. While she has turned her hand to all types of creative projects over her art career, in Golden Bay she is well known for her window paintings.

“You start thinking backwards, and in layers,” she explains.

“Imagine making a cake but starting with the frosting. It’s a mind puzzle. There are limitations to what you can do, but the

technique has a charm of its own.”

Early on as a window artist, Aralyn noticed people often stopping to watch her paint. “There’s something solitary about making art,” she says. “Watching an artist at work breaks down the mystery and can help connect people with their own creativity. I loved the interactions.”

On the Friday evening of Matariki, the street will be blocked and spotlights will focus on the action, including master “fool” Colin Minney’s interactive performance outside with the audience.

Aralyn explains that her collaboration with Colin is also designed to spark the imagination.

“Fooling is not to be confused with clowning; it’s more about being spontaneous and being present, and dropping the masks that we wear with one another. It reminds us that we can see with new eyes. Most art is storytelling: it’s the original human language. Story and art connect us to one another and our history.”

Aralyn will be painting from Thursday through to Saturday.

She invites people to “stop by and say hello”.

Matariki Celebration, Friday 24 June, Golden Bay Community Arts Council at 24 Commercial Street, Tākaka.

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.

Fully double glazed and insulated in the ceiling and underfloor, this is a lovely warm home provides an easy option for anyone who wants to be on the flat and low maintenance. The wrap-around conservatory is a great entertaining space and acts as a second lounge. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry are right up to date and together with the neutral decor will make this an easy home to move into. The section is fenced off from the road and benefits from some extra space at the back, which bounds the council reserve. Good bore water and well-tended gardens ensure a bumper harvest of veggies and the fruit trees do well here too. The concrete driveway offers plenty of off-street parking and there is a carport at the back door. The double garage offers lock-up parking for two cars and plenty of workshop space. Call Sam today.

If you are searching for a premier site, well elevated and with gorgeous views, both mountain and sea, then your search is over. This is the "lucky" last undeveloped residential section on the front row of Bay Vista Drive. We are able to pass over a recent Geotech report to assist you in your Due Diligence, and you will be hard pressed to find a better site in Golden Bay at this time. Oriented to absorb all day sun, your new home will frame this bird's eye view from the mountains of Kahurangi to Farewell Spit on the horizon. And, on a still winters morning, you might catch a glimpse of Mt. Taranaki, and in the evenings, you will be entertained with magnificent sunsets, as unique as the grains of sand on Pohara beach.
