Arts Council meet and greet

Golden Bay Community Arts Council recently held a meet and greet at their vibrantly refurbished home base. The event, at 24 Commercial Street, was accompanied by tasty platters donated by delicatessen neighbour De-Lish. The community invitation was to meet the new board members, arts worker Claire French and chair Anna Dean, and to connect artists, some of whom provided work and furnishings for the jazzed-up space. Claire is available on Wednesdays to meet anyone interested in the arts, encourage creative ideas, advertise events and share funding information. Upcoming events include Matariki – this year minus the parade due to uncertainty around Covid – and the annual Bay Art competition and exhibition. Amidst the buzz

of other new ideas is a Chris Finlayson mural soon to grace the exterior wall of the building. Anna explained three separate surveys designed to help inform and address some of the misconceptions about what the Arts Council provides, what kind of information is needed and how the Arts Council space can be used. The Creative Communities funding focus has changed, and is now focused on arts/ culture and creativity in the broadest sense, designed to target everybody, not just artists. Within each survey is a spreadsheet link to a Google sheet, which will exist as a free community resource, listing all activities that are arts, culture and creativity-related. The onus is then on whoever lists their artwork, club, group or service to keep it updated. People are requested to first identify which of the three surveys applies to them.

Survey 1: For people living in the Bay with an active art practice but not necessarily selling their work (eg choir members). “We’re trying to get a handle on who’s around, what their involvement is – it’s really about perception and opinions of the Art Council and what their function is here in the community.” Survey 2: For those who are active and engaged audience members, such as in reading groups and book clubs; they might want to attend workshops, join in and participate but might not know where to go. Survey 3: For people living outside the Bay, like homeowners here just for summer, but who still have a relationship with the Bay. Their perception of the Arts Council and arts community activities is also valued.

Penguin fence hearing JO RICHARDS

Little blue penguins nesting at Port Tarakohe will gain additional protection if a hearing panel’s recommendations are backed by Tasman District Council. At a hearing, held last Wednesday, the panel recommended that two new fences – one each on the western and port arms of the harbour – should be constructed to safeguard the growing penguin colony, while still allowing access for anglers. Dogs, however, would be banned from the protected areas. The outcome represents something of a compromise that restricts access to a popular location, but does not prohibit it altogether. Submissions received during the recent public consultation on the Mohua Golden Bay Penguin Trust’s original fence proposal reveal that, although a majority of the 108 submitters were in favour of using fences to restrict access to the penguin colony, almost 40 per cent were not. Some of those against the proposal cited concerns over increasing restrictions governing access to Golden Bay’s public spaces. In his written submission, Duncan Cavaye criticised the proposal, calling it a “folly”, and argued: “Such changes to public use should never be considered, based merely on the whim of a pressure organisation making council feel it must be the ‘right thing to do’.” He added that it failed to acknowledge the community’s positive attitude towards conservation. “It sets a precedent that residents are seemingly incapable of responsibly coexisting with any of our wildlife species despite this being the case for decades.” On the other side of the fence, Dr John Cockrem of Massey University advocated strongly for the additional protection measures in his submission. “Port Tarakohe has the largest breeding colony of little penguins in the Nelson Tasman region and is a nationally [significant] location for the species. “Unfortunately, the penguin nest boxes are currently subject to disturbance from people and dogs, and the other birds that use the breakwaters and that breed there are also vulnerable to disturbance.” Duncan and John were two of seven submitters who made oral presentations at the hearing chaired by councillor Chris Hill. Golden Bay Community Board member Grant Knowles, who sat on the hearing panel, said the issue was not “black and white” and noted “both sides were... Continued on page 2

An ancient woven sail, Taonga Te Ra, was the subject of a recent library talk given by Ahipara master weaver Ruth Port. Held and laid hidden in the British Museum in London, the sail is over 200 years old, the only one of its age known to exist. Ruth first saw Te Ra in 2010 when she visited London to attend an exhibition. In 2019, when she and two other dedicated weavers revisited the museum, their quest was to renew a relationship with that taonga according to the wishes of prominent New Zealand artist Dr Maureen Lander. They wanted to work out and retrieve the skills and techniques used and uncover its secrets to bring back home, but had only five days to examine, measure and document the sail in copious notes, photographs, drawings and videos. “It was like nothing we had ever seen before,” explained Ruth. By observing, touching and recreating the weave, the visitors not only gained new knowledge but also developed a relationship with the ancient weavers. The four-metre triangular sail was believed to have been used for coastal rather than Pacific voyaging due to its size

and fineness. Unique features like three-dimensional zigzag patterns of holes (puareare) were likely designed for wind diffusion and aerodynamics. The weaving threads are very fine, only 2-3mm wide. Six-ply muka fibre (rather than two-ply) was used to make many metres of rigging ropes. Attached are thousands of kereru feathers, carefully notched to respond to movement and wind. Kaka feathers and dog skin added indications of prestige. In 1922, Te Rangi Hiroa (Sir Peter Buck) challenged a replication of Te Ra, suggesting it might be “quite simple”. Ruth says it was not. While there are still secrets to figure out, through hundreds of hours of hard work to complete a first trial sail, Hine Marama, the weavers have however gained enough confidence and knowledge to pursue their final goal. One hundred years after Te Rangi Hiroa’s wero (challenge), the latter day weavers hope to complete a full-sized rendition of Te Ra by this December. Ruth says that, along with whānau, weaving is her life. “I feel very honoured, blessed and privileged to be part of this amazing journey. I consider Te Ra a dear friend, a kuia, an ancestor – I’m in absolute awe of this teacher.”

PENGUIN FENCE HEARING Continued from page 1 ...passionate and had good points to make”. He explained that the panel members read all the submissions, heard the presentations and listened to the experts. Following the formal session, panel members reconvened at Port Tarakohe to inspect the proposed fence locations. “We went on a site visit, which helped a lot to visualise it,” said Grant. “It helped anchor what we needed to do.” After deliberating, the panel agreed to recommend fence protection, but with modifications from the original

proposal; instead of one continuous structure, there should be two shorter fences spanning the base of each of the two port arms. The panel also recommended that fishers should enjoy controlled access to the fenced areas but with restricted hours. Grant acknowledged that there would be “people on both sides who are not 100 per cent happy” but hoped the compromise would be broadly acceptable. The panel’s recommendations will be considered at TDC’s full council meeting next week.

Youth Habitat creates safe space, provides support ROSA VOLZ

T h e Yo u t h H a b i t a t welcomes Golden Bay to the official opening of the newly established community centre today Friday, 6 May. The objective of the space “is to provide another aspect of youth support to Tākaka”, says youth worker Tullia Wilson. Fellow youth worker Jess Jacquier describes the new premises located at the Golden Bay Workcentre “as safe space [for youth] to come and hang out, young people to be able to do their homework, a place for them to socialise. We are here to offer support [and if required] we can provide support one on one.” The centre and services are funded until February 2023 thanks to a philanthropic donor. Tullia and Jess have developed a timeline, cleared out the space, “starting with a trip to the dump”. It has been transformed into a cosy hangout spot complete with

Youth Workers Tullia Wilson and Jess Jacquier in the new Youth Habitat space. Photo: Rosa Volz.

couches, entertainment, music system and a coffee machine. There are plans to enlarge into an adjoining room, where the duo envisages a pool table and tabletop foosball.

There are a number of avenues of support associated with the service. There is free counselling, either with an onsite counsellor or sourced on an individual need’s basis. The

centre provides a drop-in zone for after school Monday to Friday 3-6pm. Says Tullia: “The broader picture is a linkage of services in the community – the school, hospital, rec centre, clubs and societies, any social services.” There is scope for Tākaka youth to grow the Habitat in any direction. “No idea is too crazy,” says Tullia. “There is scope for engaging people’s passions, hobbies or activities. If you are interested in something we will make it happen – like getting your learner’s licence.” Jess says the centre offers a good alternative to being on the streets, getting into trouble, or for those struggling with bullying after school. “There will be free food for hungry bellies – crackers, chippies and noodles,” and they will soon receive a fridge-freezer and other resources. The service is keen for the community to donate their time, either to be on site as support or as mentors (which will require a police vetting process). Provision of food donations or entertainment (ping-pong table, cards or board games) is also welcome. “We are grateful for everyone that has chipped in so far. It’s been so much fun, offering something that was previously unavailable, and something we believe in fully, that will make a big difference. It’s enlivening.” Everyone is welcome to attend on 6 May from 4pm to 6pm. A 6-8pm slot will be more focused on a youth hangout with snacks, games, and music. “Come anytime if you are a community member, an interested parent, an invested professional,” says Tullia. The opening event will be followed up by Youth Week from 6 to 15 May, which will run in collaboration with the rec centre and community mentors.

In reply to Jordan Graham (GBW, 29/4), I say, “Long live Nimbyism!” We have a moral responsibility to care for our own backyard. Clearly, Jordan does not live in Rangihaeata, or he would know that the proposal I support for 200 houses here is on the Tākaka-Collingwood Highway, opposite the Tākaka airport. It is nowhere near the Outstanding Natural Landscape (ONL) at Onahau. For his information, an ONL is an area of outstanding natural landscape determined through an assessment process and in this case nominated for inclusion in the Tasman Environment Plan. Cynthia McConville

Clarifying Three Waters position

In response to Dick Lamb’s letter (GBW, 22/4) and his call for councillors to state their positions on Three Waters and the Local Government reforms, to name two of an unprecedented number of government reforms underway at the same time, it has to be recognised that the content of these reforms by central government is developing and changing constantly up until they go before Parliament in the form of Bills. It is not the same as TDC decisions where all the information is known, and councillors take a position and vote. National consultation on Three Waters is still to occur, and TDC will consult at the same time as to how Three Waters will affect people which will inform its own submission. By then we should surely know about costs of water supply to ratepayers. Almost all the 47 recommendations from the Independent Working Group of mayors, into which TDC had input, have very recently been incorporated in the Bill, with the result that there will now be direct ownership by local communities through a direct shareholding (without dividends) allocated to each council. Previously the ownership was murky. The Regional Representative Groups are now much broader and stronger as well. My position is that a way of providing and paying for water infrastructure other than by individual councils levying property and water rate is needed, TDC included. The makeup of the entity boards is acceptable to me and, since the recent changes have improved democracy and ownership and minimised the risk of privatisation, I support Three Waters so far as a fair means to fund and provide water infrastructure. Celia Butler, TDC councillor Golden Bay Ward

Representative democracy

Over the last nine years Reg Turner has passionately talked the talk in defence of local democracy, ratepayer finances and council accountability and also walked the walk by standing for election to TDC three times. Unfortunately he has not been making headway, which is why he has selflessly promised me not to stand again this October. Due to the undemocratic First-Past-the-Post voting system, by doing so he would split the vote of other potential candidates who share his sensible views, thereby compromising their electoral success. I believe our current councillors are clever, caring and hardworking, however they appear to lack Reg’s vision and passion. Following my suggestion they have communicated with us regularly, but only to explain issues and the decisions of TDC rather than set out their own beliefs and principles, which remain a mystery. They have failed to defend democracy, equality and ratepayers as evidenced by their actions or lack of them on local government reform, Three Waters and the Waimea Dam. roblewis@snap.net.nz

Golden Bay needs and deserves better. We desperately need new candidates that have the guts, gumption and grit required to bring TDC to heel to step into Reg’s shoes and stand. The time to start your campaign is now. Steve Penny

More night closures for Tākaka Hill

Dallas Beckett Licensed Sales Consultant

JO RICHARDS

A series of night closures of the Tākaka Hill road, to allow for pre-winter maintenance, are scheduled to begin a week on Sunday. Starting on the night of Sunday 15 May and ending on the morning of Friday 20 May, the highway will be closed each night from 8pm until 5.30am the next morning – a total of five nights. “These night-time closures will occur about four times a year to ensure this highway is in as good a condition as possible,” says Andrew James, system manager Top of the South for Waka Kotahi. “As well as repairs to the road’s surface, vegetation, drainage and water channels’ maintenance will be carried out to avoid future delays. “We will have a 1am opening on each of the nights and emergency vehicles will be managed through the work sites at all times. This first five nights of work will help us to work preventatively ahead of winter weather to ensure the road is in good shape. “We will continue to advertise each of these night-time closures, times and dates as early as we can and ensure local stakeholders and those who regularly use the road are in contact with the right people and understand the opening schedule.” The reasons for the new night-time maintenance schedule

WE ARE LOCAL JUST LIKE YOU 027 245 3131 dallas.beckett@remax.co.nz remaxeclipse.co.nz Takaka I Motueka I Mapua I Richmond Eclipse Realty Ltd I Licensed REAA 2008

centres on worker safety and efficiency, explains Andrew. “Given the narrowness of this extremely winding highway, it is hard to keep our crews safe alongside live traffic lanes. Using the nighttime hours and full closures when traffic volumes are small provides a window to keep our people safe and also means they can get the work done much more efficiently. “Most of the drainage clearing will occur in winter with resurfacing in the warmer summer months,” says Andrew. “There will be some daytime work on top of this, but much fewer delays for most road users overall.”

Golden Bay on the Road to Zero JO RICHARDS

Since the introduction of a permanent 80km/h limit between Paines Ford and Tākaka last May, there have been no recorded crashes on that stretch of road. “A little over a year ago, State Highway 60 became safer for everyone using it,” says Waka Kotahi director of regional relationships Emma Speight. “While it’s still too early to determine any long-term trends, the first year has been encouraging.” Statistics show that between 2011 and 2020, there were 14 crashes on this section of state highway (four serious, four minor injury, six no injury), which left seven people seriously injured, and another six people with minor injuries. But it’s not just about the figures. “In close communities such as Golden Bay, these crashes can have a devastating impact on the population,” says Emma. “The impact of a single crash is felt widely, and painfully.” While accepting that crashes are inevitable Emma says that someone being killed or hurt as a result of that crash is preventable. “We can significantly reduce the numbers of people dying and being seriously injured on New Zealand’s roads by getting the basics right. That means safer roads, safer vehicles, safer drivers and safer speed limits.” The Ministry of Transport’s Road to Zero initiative aims to eliminate death and seriously injury on NZ roads by 2050, with

an interim target of a 40 per cent reduction by 2030. Emma says it’s not one single thing that will achieve this but “a combination of safer roads, vehicles, drivers and speed limits”. She says Waka Kotahi is committed to ongoing safety improvements in Golden Bay, such as the $1.2m shared path alongside the state highway between Tākaka, the Golden Bay Community Health Centre and Paines Ford, which was completed in early 2020. “From small, subtle changes, to large pieces of infrastructure and investment, there is one common them,” says Emma: “It is all work that will make journeys safer for you, your whānau, and your community.”

Days are numbered for the outstanding Kokowai exhibition at the Golden Bay Museum. The collaboration of paintings by local artist Robin Slow and Taonga Puoro (musical instruments) by carver Brian Flintoff and musician Bob Bickerton is one of the finest exhibitions the museum has held. Manager Karen Johnson said that it was such a privilege to have the exhibition created especially for Golden Bay Museum. These three artists have collaborated many times, weaving together their visuals, treasured objects and sounds to explain the many legends around Te Ao Marama (the world of light). The artist talks were highly valued by members of the public but were unfortunately limited to smaller numbers due to issues around Covid. Those who have not seen this exhibition are urged to do so before it leaves. The exhibition theme “Kokowai” refers to the dark red ochre

found at Parapara from which paint was made during the time of colonisation. Robin has incorporated kokowai into many of these paintings, beginning with the legend of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, the red signifying their spilled blood when they were separated. Kokowai was traditionally mixed with shark oil and when applied to a painted work rendered it tapu (sacred). Similarly, any artefact with applied kokowai becomes a prized possession. Golden Bay Museum would like to purchase Robin’s painting Mapi (as shown above), a visual representation of Golden Bay/ Mohua, as well as a selection of Brian Flintoff’s taonga puoro, which collectively will add significantly to their displays and educational resources.

Servicing the Bay from the Bay

Coastguard Nelson was called into action in Golden Bay waters last Friday. Responding to a distress call the from the skipper of a sinking 12-metre fishing boat off Farewell Spit, the Coastguard vessel Hohapata Sealord Rescue, skippered by Darren Cox, and with five volunteers aboard, travelled for more than two hours to reach the stricken craft. Over a five-minute period after the rescuers arrived on the scene, the fishing boat had sunk significantly into the water, but volunteers coordinated their efforts to bring the sole mariner onboard the rescue vessel shortly before 8.30am. The Hohapata then returned to port where the rescued skipper underwent a medical assessment by an awaiting ambulance crew. Darren said his team did a fantastic job navigating the sometimes tricky Farewell Spit, spotting the vessel and debris in the water just in time. Coastguard New Zealand posted a tribute to the rescuing crew on social media later the same day: “This was a textbook rescue for our volunteers. From responding to the unfolding situation in front of them to assessing the man’s condition onboard and looking after him with a hot drink and blanket, I’m delighted at everyone’s commitment and this positive outcome.” Coastguard is a charity that receives limited funding from

NEWSLINE UPDATES KEEPING YOU INFORMED ABOUT NEWS AND EVENTS IN THE TASMAN DISTRICT

Community grants now open

Youth Week 2022

Every year we set aside a pool of money from rates to assist groups and organisations across Tasman District with our Community Grants Scheme.

This year, Tasman Youth Week from 7 – 15 May focuses on wellbeing. In collaboration with Sport Tasman and the Golden Bay Recreation Centre, we are hosting Youth Week events in Richmond, Motueka and Tākaka. We’re inviting young people aged 12 – 24, to take part in workshops on visual arts, creative journaling, wall climbing, woodwork, yoga and skateboarding, and to explore how these simple activities can positively affect their wellbeing. Events are designed to encourage young people to take on challenges, share ideas and focus on the positive aspects of being young. The week also recognises youth workers, youth service providers and others working with and for young people. Full details of Youth Week activities and events are listed on the Tasman Youth Hub website, tasmanyouthhub.co.nz.

Our Community Grants are aimed at enabling us to work with communities by encouraging communitybased solutions. We’re supporting our community to find ways to improve the delivery of services or infrastructure and underpinning the work of volunteers across the District. Priority will be given to projects that address an identified community need and align with our community outcomes. Applications are open until Sunday 31 July. Full details of the application process are on our website tasman.govt.nz/grants.

At the dirt face of expanding soil knowledge Our land scientists and Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research staff have been busy undertaking an extensive soil mapping campaign as part of a twoyear commitment. Co-funded by the Ministry for Primary Industries, the campaign is worth more than $400,000 and complements soil legacy knowledge, feeding new data into the national soil map portal (Smap). As a result, new 1:50,000 scale maps will be available for Wai-iti, Motueka and Riwaka, Moutere Valley and Tapawera. Work has already occurred in Golden Bay, with the focus shifting to the clay-based soils of Moutere in April and May. The soil surveying work is not invasive. Often a small pit is sufficient to see the soil changing in different depths and investigate its texture by rolling the mineral particles in between fingers and thumb. Classifying soil is not an easy undertaking. Information from legacy data, which Tasman District Council holds, needs to be compared with field data, then digitalised and translated into common language. Once finalised, most of the information can be accessed for free on Smap online at soils.landcareresearch.co.nz/smap-tasman. Resource scientist for soil Dr Anne Wecking said the Smap work is crucial for Tasman District and acknowledged the campaign’s success has been helped by the access granted by landowners. “The soil mapping campaign enables us to merge old and new knowledge. In a few years, we aim to have a unified soil map layer available, not only at the Council but for the public to use too.” Anne has documented work undertaken at Upper Tākaka in a video which can be viewed on our YouTube channel. More information can be found on our website, tasman.govt.nz, search ‘valuing our soils’.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 6 MAY 2022

Inconsiderate parking makes footpaths unusable Cars obstructing footpaths are not only illegally parked, but they also put other people at risk and it’s a growing problem in Tasman, particularly with trades vehicles. Motor vehicles that are parked over footpaths are a potential hazard for everyone, especially for people with disabilities, mobility issues, older people, children and parents with prams. In many cases, pedestrians may be forced to walk on the road into oncoming traffic – something that young children don’t have the skills to judge well – or they may have to walk over gardens or uneven terrain which poses a hazard for those like the elderly who are unsteady on their feet. Drivers may think they are being courteous to other motorists by getting their vehicles clear of the roadway, but they are mistaken. Our enforcement staff are focusing on this problem and $40 fines will be issued to owners of offending vehicles. Fines can be issued if we receive a photo clearly showing the offence and vehicle registration, with the location, date and time.

Tākaka headed over the Hill on Saturday to play Marist New St Steakhouse. It was a hard-hitting game against a very strong side but Tākaka’s young team put in a brave performance and went to half-time trailing 12-10. Marist, however, outscored Tākaka in the second half, eventually winning 36-15. Player of the Day points: 3pts, Ben Clemens; 2pts, Oscar Chubb; 1pt, Chris Oakden.

Hope to see you on the sidelines

An injury-ravaged Collingwood side endured a bad day at the office last Saturday, thanks to a ruthless, rampaging display by visitors Stoke. Two fixtures into Nelson Bays Rugby Division 2 competition, last year’s champions, who suffered only one defeat all season, have now lost two in a row. It was so different at the sharp end of last season when Collingwood went head-to-head with Stoke and triumphed by the narrowest of margins in an extraordinarily close – and low-scoring – final. Collingwood’s matchday programme warned supporters that, after their bitter disappointment, “Stoke will have a point to prove …”. And so they did: If revenge is a dish best eaten cold, last year’s losing finalists were happy to serve up double helpings straight from the freezer. After starting briefly on the front foot, Collingwood were soon pegged back by the pacey, cohesive and well-drilled visitors. Just five minutes into the contest, the red army surged forward with a lightning-fast attack down the left flank which ended in the visitors’ first try of the afternoon. The pattern of the match was quickly established and, within minutes, Stoke broke again, this time down the right flank. As the onslaught continued, the home side struggled to handle the sheer pace of their opponents despite the backs dispensing some heavy tackles. As the minutes ticked by, the visitors’ tally ticked up relentlessly, ensuring the scoreboard operators had no time to rest. After 25 minutes the Black and Gold were trailing the visitors by 33 points and with additions to the injury list, the outlook appeared grim. But Collingwood, as they do, dug deep and, after winning a scrum advanced into red territory, on their favoured left flank, but the rare foray fizzled out. The players’ frustration began to show and things continued to get worse for the home side when Stoke grounded two tries in the final few minutes of the first half to move the score on to 0-47. The second half started in the same vein, with Stoke scoring four minutes after the restart following a turnover of possession. Despite suffering further injuries, however, Collingwood continued to press and gained several advantages from a succession of infringements by the visitors. With 25 minutes left to play, persistence was rewarded when Will Schmetz forced the ball over the line to register the home team’s first points of the afternoon. Brad Goulsbro added a

further two with a cool conversion. And that was the last time the scoreboard operators were troubled. Camped inside their own 22, Collingwood continued to resist the red tide which constantly threatened to break through the defensive wall. As the home side continued to battle and frustrate their opponents, they reminded their opponents why Collingwood were worthy champions. But it was far too late to undo the damage that had been inflicted in a frantic first half and the game ended with the score at 7-54. Speaking after the match, Collingwood coach Graeme Miller said the long list of injuries in the squad was largely responsible for the “disappointing start” to the campaign, but paid tribute to his players on the pitch. “We showed good guts and determination.” He also acknowledged the quality of the opposition. “Their speed and cohesion right through the park opened us up. They made good ground and good tries. We struggled to get out of our area – we spent around 80-90 per cent inside our 22 line.” Stoke manager Johnny Little was magnanimous in victory. “The second half was a draw… and there was intensity right to the end.” Although they have lost both their opening fixtures, Collingwood have an opportunity to regroup and Graeme remains positive. “We have a week off next week to work up some improvement.”

Stoke’s Chris Little scored three first-half tries.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 6 MAY 2022

GOLDEN BAY’S NEWS IN BRIEF Pacific Angel lands at Tākaka aerodrome JO RICHARDS

The angel that landed at Tākaka Aerodrome last Friday will remain permanently grounded. Bodhi Vincent’s Oamaru stone sculpture Pacific Angel was delivered on the back of a flatbed truck and installed on the ground at the entrance to the aerodrome. The piece, which graced the approach to Nelson Airport for many years, was removed as part of the redevelopment of the terminal and car parking areas, and has been in storage at Rabbit Island while seeking a new home. There was an earlier suggestion to relocate the artwork, jointly owned by Tasman District and Nelson City Councils, to Ligar Bay, but it was deemed more appropriate to site it at Golden Bay’s airport, where it will continue to welcome travellers.

Golden Bay singer songwriter to play local venue SUBMITTED

Golden Bay singer songwriter Nick Feint is performing at the Mussel Inn next weekend – and he’s playing alongside a very special guest. Nick, who recently released his new album Next Exit From Babylon, will be joined onstage at the Muss, as well as other venues around Nelson, by Taranaki-based singer songwriter Renee Millner. With echoes of Billy Bragg, Nick is well-known for his ability to bring in-depth stories to life in his songs with heart and good humour. Soulful-voiced Renee already has several standout releases under her belt. The Australian-born musician imbues her songs with an engagingly simple sincerity and depth of meaning that is masterful and moving. The two like-minded artists met on a songwriting retreat in the North Island and now locals can enjoy the fruits of that chance encounter as they combine their talent on stage in Golden Bay. Nick Feint and Renee Millner play at the Mussel Inn on Saturday 14 May. Tickets $10.

The extensive work and contributions of many coalesced at the opening of Aorere Playcentre’s new playground last Sunday. Manawhenua ki Mohua gifted the name Aorere to the centre and representatives were there to bless the new playground. Drizzling rain was considered a special part of the ceremony, and a group of around 50 Playcentre whānau huddled under umbrellas awaiting the unveiling of the new name and the two gateways. One gateway enters from Orion Street, the other from Collingwood Area School. Speaker Barney Thomas guided the gathering through the protocol, which included karanga and karakia. The new Aorere Playcentre sign was unveiled first, then tamariki were invited to help uncover the gateway panels. As people moved through the gateways they were encouraged to touch the panels depicting patiki (flounder) with a manu (bird) whose significance was explained by Barney. “The flounder for us is a good sign because it’s an indicator that the environment is clean and flourishing...Two manu... the birds…are the ones that set the seeds that ensure that the ngahere blossoms and continues on.” Originally the kowhaiwhai design on the panels was given to the Nelson Playcentre Association by Reverend Harvey Ruru and his whānau. Since the dissolving of that organisation, the design has been passed on. Robin Slow modernised the artwork using natural earthy tones and by adding in the manu top and bottom. Rockville woodworker Brian Cooper created the wooden panels the designs were printed on. Local builder Clay Hoskin was reportedly something of a knight in shining armour with his contributions, and Playcentre whānau shifted trees and planted anew.

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.

STR8TS

the Collingwood Area School (CAS) new build, undertook construction of the structural elements – the swing, sandpit and fort area. Playground equipment was purchased from Tredsafe, with a grant received from Golden Bay Community Trust. Funding from Pub Charity paid for a new shed. Ministry of Education funding provided, among other things, a boundary realignment between CAS and the Playcentre. CAS principal Hugh Gully expressed enthusiasm. “The connectedness is going to be strengthened with that gate being right there…I can see the tamariki tomorrow are going to be rushing over here wanting to play on the new playground! Congratulations.” Chief executive of Playcentre Aotearoa, David Mouger, travelled from Wellington for the event, and Kaiwhakahaere Hononga Māori (Māori relationship manager for Playcentre Aotearoa) Erana Rattray travelled from Christchurch. Both spoke on behalf of the national organisation and congratulated the centre for the commitment and hard work. Kaiako Jessicah Win gave thanks to Manawhenua ki Mohua for gifting the name Aorere to the Playcentre and for their blessing of the playground. She acknowledged the generations of families who have attended the Playcentre over the years. Grandmother Cheryl Win had attended Playcentre there with her three daughters. Now her daughter Steph attends with her own children – Jasper and Bo – and the four had the honour of cutting the ribbon. After Steph spoke about the seven harakeke plants collected from the Pa harakeke at Paines Ford, several whānau helped to plant them along the fenceline. A well-earned morning tea was provided for all to enjoy while the tamariki enjoyed their new playground. Enquiries: aorere@playcentre.org.nz

Kereru Cottage Something Special In Golden Bay

This property holds massive appeal for first home buyers, families, and investors alike, this could be your chance to jump on the property ladder in Golden Bay! Soak up the village atmosphere in this truly unique part of Golden Bay. This wonderfully light and sunny home features a tastefully renovated bathroom, a huge practical laundry and sunroom, and separate fully functional kitchen/living and dining rooms, which offer mountains of opportunities to create the home of your dreams, or utilize it the way it is! A Masport free-standing fireplace and HRV system are complemented by insulation making this a comfortable family home in all seasons.

For sale for the first time in almost 30 years, this quintessential kiwi bach will steal your heart. Kereru Cottage, dating back to the 1940's, is apparently made from two military camp huts joined together - the forerunner for tiny homes no doubt! There are two bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and open plan living with a brand new heatpump and a wood burner. The wrap around veranda draws you out into the garden, along the path to the potager, and beyond that a secluded BBQ area, near the creek, which is wending its way to the sea, just a short stroll down the road.
