Habitat for Rainbow Youth

Grandstand funding JO RICHARDS

The restoration of Tākaka’s historic grandstand should be completed by the end of August, but funding unforeseen work is causing a headache for Tasman District Council.

As part of the council’s 10 Year Plan 2021-31, a budgeted $930,000 contribution to the restoration project was brought forward allowing it to commence last year.

However, as the project progressed, the condition of the existing structure was revealed to be far worse than anticipated, necessitating additional work including the replacement of most of the structural timber, full reconstruction of the foundations, and removal of asbestos.

Engineers have also identified that the roof will require significant repairs and repainting within the next five to seven years, which would be more cost effectively carried out now. The total estimated cost of the additional work is $195,000.

A report which provides various funding options was due to be considered at yesterday’s full council meeting. The original project budget of $930,000 is funded from the District Facilities Rate, and one option is to fund the additional costs from this revenue stream. Alternatively, it could be funded from the Golden Bay Community Board Rate or the General Rate.

According to TDC, a community commitment to provide funds towards the project is yet to produce significant results, although members of the A&P Association and Grandstand Trust have offered labour for a community painting day.

Golden Bay Promotion Association has agreed a $29,000 contract with Nelson Regional Development Agency to find ways to reduce visitors’ environmental footprints.

Most of the money will be spent in the Bay. Lisa Savage (GB Kayaks) is leading the project. More information will be provided at the upcoming GBPA AGM (see advert on page 15 of this issue).

Changes in the tourism industry mean that GBPA’s efforts needs to be refocused towards a number of aims, namely: improving shoulder and winter seasons, and collaborating on marketing; enhancing holiday experiences, leading to more nights, longer stays and more engagement, and; protecting the environment by reducing the impact of travellers and businesses, and encouraging “slower” travel which lengthens stays.

A good crowd gathered on 11 May for the Golden Bay Federated Farmers Annual General Meeting.

It was efficiently completed in a short time at Dada Manifesto this year, accompanied by an excellent three-course meal. Wayne Langford stepped down from the president’s role. Sue Brown presented him with a “Milo break” gift box, thanking him for his many years of service to the Golden Bay branch. He has been on the executive (and will remain a member of that), he was dairy chair, then held roles in the National Federated Farmers (FFNZ) as well as chairing the local branch.

Cherrie Chubb was nominated into the vacant role as GBFF chair, with Tyler Langford accepting the dairy chair role that Cherrie moved from. It seemed like musical chairs, except that Pax Leetch has continued to represent sheep and beef farmers.

The guest speakers presented as a panel of three, and began by introducing themselves before answering questions from the floor. Bal Matheson talked about his journey, from growing up on an isolated West Coast farm grubbing thistles with his Gran, to now working as part of the FFNZ legal team. Terry Copeland explained that he was a real city boy who took a job with Young Farmers NZ before “graduating”to become FFNZ chief executive. He loves “working for an organisation that really makes a difference”.

Karen Williams and her family live on a cropping farm in the Wairarapa, where they grow seeds of many types, peas and grain. She is FFNZ national arable chair and vice president, and says

she is “passionate about people and rural communities”. Being close to Wellington they host many visitors, believing it is vital that people, especially decision-makers, have opportunities to get on farms to see how farmers actually operate.

In response to audience questions all speakers delivered positive messages: ”FFNZ works efficiently and covers 34 different policy areas”; they have “good relationships with other organisations like Dairy NZ and Beef/ Lamb NZ”; “Team Ag is the way to go because united front is important as well as being more cost effective”; “Feds have much in common with Māori farming as both focus on caring for the land and looking to the future”; “younger farmers may not want to join anything but they do want to support what is right”; and a quote (which raised appreciative audience chuckles) claiming that “Feds have more conservationists in the organisation than Greenpeace do”.

When asked how farmers can have

influence, the advice again was to be positive; “tell your story”; “you have a good story so get it out there”; “connect with your community”; “be at the table and have the solutions”; “develop strong relationships”; “bring science to the discussion”; and “make friends in peace times”.

Before closing, Cherrie encouraged farmers to consider attending PINZ, the Primary Industry New Zealand conference in Auckland in July. Executive members are attending, and GBFF is offering funding for two others to join them for a stimulating few days learning about science, supply chains, markets and consumers.

Meeting politicians, researchers and people from across the agricultural industry is a valuable networking opportunity. The volume of voices during the vital social time after meeting formalities suggests the value of farmers getting together from across the different sectors in Golden Bay as well.

The Environment Court hearing on the Te Waikoropupū Springs Water Conservation Order (WCO) that was due to begin in Tākaka earlier this week, is now due to commence on Monday 23 May with a pōwhiri at the Onetahua Marae. The legal hearing begins the following day in the Nelson Court.

The hearing is the latest chapter in the WCO saga, which officially began with an application to the Ministry for the Environment in 2014. That application was heard by the Environment Protection Authority’s special tribunal held at Tākaka’s Rec Park Centre in 2018. The tribunal’s Draft Order was finally released in March 2020, but 10 parties had significant issues with its recommendations and lodged proceedings with the Environment Court. These will be aired next week, and at the second week of the hearing which is likely to be held in the week beginning 27 June, also in Nelson.

Due to the risk with Covid in the community, there will be access limits to the hearing venues but for those not able to attend in person, there is the possibility of following the proceedings via a live audio-visual stream. However, the link cannot be made widely available, according to the Environment Court’s case/hearing manager Chrissie McKee: “…There’s a limit on how many guests the live stream can go to and we need to ensure parties and witnesses don’t get kicked off”.

Event aims to build positive future ANITA PETERS

Baha’i communities around the world are hosting a series of conferences, inviting “all well-wishers of humanity,” and using the arts and creativity to promote unity and inspire service to humanity.

Here in Golden Bay, the local group will be hosting a community event to discuss how neighbourhoods and communities can work together towards building a positive future.

Witnessing widespread despair about the future over recent times, they believe that together we can build the future we wish to have.

Baha’i follower Hennie Pember ton stresses the importance of learning to talk to people from different backgrounds, religions, beliefs and political views to allow us to progress.

“We believe that humanity is fundamentally one; the longer we spend dwelling on the differences, the longer it’s going to take before we can achieve a peaceful future,” she says.

The one-day conference at the Kotinga Hall will accommodate morning

BEAT THE HIGH FUEL PRICES Greetings Golden Bay Fuel prices have reached a new height in absurdity that is really starting to hurt everyone’s pockets. If you are starting to feel the never-ending sting of these everinflating prices, then it is time to look at a hybrid vehicle.

Yes, they still use petrol, but a lot less of it. Rated at 3.9ltrs/100kms, these small but capable vehicles are a fantastic car to fight the fuel inflation, so give me a call.

I am happy to answer any questions and put to bed some of those myths surrounding hybrid vehicle.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

discussions about building vibrant communities and contributing to social transformation, and give an overview of the global Baha’i community. After lunch, Hennie and her daughter Zoe will facilitate an art project for everyone, whether artistically inclined or not. There will also be activities for children, and the hope is that the conference will also attract some youth.

The art activity will be collaborative, using a nuno felting technique on translucent, freemoving, blue and green silk banners to create

a large ocean-themed mobile, “as a simile for unity and oneness”.

“Because the ocean flows right around the world, without boundaries, we feel it’s such a powerful analogy for unity – spiritually and materially. We must work together to protect our oceans, we can’t do it country by country,” says Hennie. Baha’i Faith founder Baha’u’llah states: “Ye are all drops of one ocean, waves of one sea.”

Councillor Butler, in her letter (GBW 6/5), states her opinion, clarifying Three Waters position. Sadly, her opinion has nothing to do with us. She was elected to represent the ratepayers and residents of Golden Bay and to give us a voice at the council table, but where has she consulted with us on our opinions and position?

It was the same with the Waimea Dam. It was clear the residents and ratepayers of the Golden Bay ward were against it overwhelmingly, yet, without canvasing our wishes and objections, Cr Butler’s predecessors supported this dam by not challenging, on our behalf, the evidence put forward by the pro-dam minority investors.

Cr Butler’s final paragraph says, “The makeup of the entity boards is acceptable to me... I support Three Waters so far as a fair means to fund and provide water infrastructure“.

Hang on! As our representative she has not asked any of us if we find Three Waters concept fair and acceptable.

Steve Penny, in his letter (GBW 6/5), comments on the representation by our current elected councillors, stating that they bow to TDC doctrine rather than “defend democracy, equality and ratepayers as evidenced by their actions or lack of them on local government reform, Three Waters and the Waimea Dam“.

On Saturday 30 April a friend and I were swimming at the stunning Tata Beach for the first time. We began swimming out to the buoys that mark the ski lane and made it to the last one, perhaps 150 metres offshore. We hung around the buoy catching our breath when my friend noticed his wedding ring slip off and descend to the depths below. We made attempts to dive to the bottom but alas it was too deep. My friend was in shock, especially considering the ring was handmade by his wife.

I called Wildcat Charters who gave me the name but not number of a man who they said might be able to help. Through the White Pages, enter stage left, Tony Nicholls. Undoubtedly interrupting his Saturday afternoon, he happily said he would meet us at the beach in half an hour. Tony arrived in his gumboots and devised a plan of attack. In no time we were aboard his vessel The Norwest Cloud motoring to the buoy where the ring had been lost. Tony slipped into his wetsuit and scuba gear and descended to the sea floor. He returned after about a minute holding the wedding ring in his victorious hand, humbly commenting “That was easy - it was glistening right up at me”. Thank you, Tony for your act of true humanity.

Getting off the fence

There is an online petition for people opposed to fencing “arms” of Port Tarakohe by the Penguin Trust/TDC. The petition has collected over 200 signatures of those with concerns. It might be worth reading the comments and also learning what is current being proposed (unfortunately not all that clear), and then determining if you want add your name to this petition.

You can sign the petition without your name or email address being open to the internet, but still can have your comment visible – please keep it constructive. You must confirm your “signature”, via replying to a verification email (check your junk box).

The GB Community Board and local TDC councillors were emailed to notify them of community opposition, prior to Thursday’s full council meeting. By the time you read this, a decision may have been reached, but again on what will likely not be all that clear. What is clear, however, is that there will be a financial ratepayer cost for initial construction and ongoing maintenance and repairs. Obviously, these funds, added to a council that has already seriously overspent, will come at the expense of other community needs/wants and/or rate increases. What is also clear is that there will be restricted access to these area(s) for anglers and the general community.

Searching “petition Port Tarakohe” will probably bring up the petition or you can find links and more information on the community Facebook pages including “Golden Bay Public Access Preservation” page.

On any given Saturday, there will be two markets in Tākaka.

But not always the same two.

With the imminent change of seasons, the classic Village Market is now in town on the first Saturday of each month only.

On the other three (or occasionally four) weekends, shoppers keen to browse and buy from their favourite stallholders can still get their locally-produced goodies, but will have to head for the Telemarket at the Telegraph Hotel.

Last Saturday, Telemarket manager Todd Bray was happy with the first week’s turnout, from both sellers and buyers.

“We’re full inside with a good variety of local stuff, and there’s a good flow of people coming through.”

He outlined the main guiding principle of Telemarket – the market arm of Mohua Collective. “This is about creating a space for local producers; we will always prioritise local producers.”

The market’s use of inside space at the hotel means it can operate in all-weathers, said Todd: “We’ve arranged it so there’s always a place to come to get essentials.”

Operating at the same time, just a minute’s walk away, the Junction Green market, aka Open Air Retail (OAR), was also ticking along nicely. One of the organisers Tony Hudson, who

sells his own Earthly Greens veggies at OAR, explained that all stallholders are united by shared experience. “Everyone here, somewhere along the line, has lost their main source of income due to the [vaccine] mandates.”

Echoing Todd’s Telemarket philosophy, Tony is adamant that OAR should remain by the Bay for the Bay. “We want to keep it local; we choose not to include people from over the Hill, so we can support one another.”

As the markets have a good deal in common, Todd believes they would be stronger together. “I’d hope that we could get together and have one market; it would be better for customers and stallholders.”

But Tony is not convinced. “We could collaborate, but it’s too ‘concretey’ [at the Telegraph].” He also reckons that the current arrangement has its advantages. “It flows like a street market, and it’s good for people to walk.”

Tākaka’s Saturday markets: Village Market (Library carpark): first Saturday of each month, 9am-1.30pm.

Telemarket (Telegraph Hotel): weekly except the first Saturday of the month, 9am-1pm.

Open Air Retail (Junction Green): weekly, 10am-2pm.

Celebrating National Lamb Day

National Lamb Day: 140 years later still sunrise on sheep farms. Photo: Supplied.

JOYCE WYLLIE

National Lamb Day is celebrated on 24 May. It commemorates the day, 140 years ago, when New Zealand’s first shipment of frozen sheep meat arrived in the UK .

The Dunedin left Port Chalmers, Otago, on 15 February.

Previous experiments in refrigeration had proved the concept but not the economic viability of shipping frozen meat around the globe. That historic journey of around 5,000 carcasses was the beginning of what is now a multi-billion dollar industry.

New Zealand has not looked back, and farmers still produce some of the best lamb to feed the world.

The way we cook our lamb has changed during the years since that first shipment. Now we have recipe books with shiny pages and pictures, videos, celebrity chefs, internet tips and recipes on our phones. In 1882, a home cook’s instructions to prepare a roast lamb leg for a delicious family meal were simple.

“Ingredients, lamb and salt. Draw nearer the fire when nearly done to acquire a nice brown colour and send to the table with mint sauce, peas, spinach or cauliflower.” My husband, Jock, totally agrees with basics. He is not a fan of garlic poked in crevices, rosemary sprinkled on top or stuffing secreted inside his roast. His recipe for a cut of lamb (often the only sheep meat listed on restaurant menus) is simple too: Chop off shanks. Place in offal cooker with guts. Boil for at least 30 minutes. Cool and feed to dogs.

My cookbook library holds a special book: a worn, yellowing

volume of my Gran’s, printed in 1939 by the NZ Women’s Institute. No pictures, six recipes to the page and with a missing cover. The meat section describes how to prepare meals from nearly the whole sheep. Nothing was wasted, showing that the current trend of “nose-to-tail” cooking is not new. A recipe for chops comes between “Black steak” and “Baked tripe”.

Baked Chops Place chops in a baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cover with following: 2 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon Worcester sauce, 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar and a little nutmeg, mixed to a smooth paste. Add 1 pint water poured over chops. Place covering on. Will take an hour or more. Turn chops over once.

And a similar recipe, more recent, in a Young Farmer’s cookbook gives a bit more detail: Canterbury Lamb Casserole 5 lamb leg chops, 2-3 tbsp flour, 1 tsp salt, oil for frying, 1 large chopped onion, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp powdered chicken stock, 2 tbsp sherry, 2 bay leaves, 1½ cups water, ½ cup blanched unsalted cashew nuts, 1 small diced red pepper.

Coat meat with flour and salt. Brown in oil in frying pan.

Transfer to casserole dish. Combine onion, sugar, soy sauce, stock, sherry, bay leaves and water. Pour over meat. Cook slowly at 150°C for 1½ –2 hours until tender. Just before serving, add nuts and pepper.

PS: “Let’s have some fun” ROSA VOLZ

Make this weekend all about having a laugh and a trip down memory lane with Paul Sangster in PS: Let’s have some fun, showing at The Playhouse.

Producer Anita Hutchinson describes the solo production which comprises 23 songs, skits, and poems – as “a good oldfashioned comedy and a night of relaxing fun”.

The show tracks Paul’s life story and is an homage to his 50plus years on the stage, a passion that started quite by accident in 1968 “with the promise of a kiss”.

Paul was working on a pig farm in Upper Tākaka when he attended a night out at a cabaret held at the County Hall in Tākaka township with the Young Farmers Club. The young woman promised him a kiss “if I sang with the band for one song – but instead I stayed and sang four. I didn’t get the kiss, by the way,” says Paul with a laugh.

He was asked to join the cabaret band, and the following night he met his wife whilst performing – a story that features as the first song of the show.

Paul’s first foray into acting began with the Tākaka Drama Society in 1969 where, aged 18, his first role was playing a bigamist in Three’s Company. Paul is a past and present president of the society and has a long-standing association with the Tākaka Citizens’ Band.

Paul tells The GB Weekly that he loves acting as a form of escapism “When you are acting you are someone else. You forget all life’s little problems. For me – especially when I was on council, I got to be someone different.

“In a nutshell [the show] is the last 50 years of my life and the things that I have done.” PS: Let’s have some fun will see Paul accompanied for three items by his wife on piano, and also by pre-recorded music from the Tākaka Citizens’ Band.

The show is running this Friday and Saturday (20 -21 May) at 7pm and on Sunday 22 May at 2pm. Tickets may be purchased prior at Stitch ‘n Sew, and there are door sales (if available.)

Future Development Strategy draws significant community interest

New funds available for waste minimisation

Thanks to feedback provided through recent consultation with our communities, we are now able to begin shaping our region’s growth for the next 30 years.

We have established two new grants to sit alongside an existing one, designed to support activities that avoid or reduce the creation of waste in Tasman.

A total of 568 submissions were received across both Councils. Of these, 45% of submissions came from Tasman, 47% from Nelson and 8% from elsewhere.

Testament to the public interest in the FDS, 133 people asked to speak at the hearings, which were held via Zoom in late April and early May. An additional day and evening were scheduled to accommodate this level of response.

Key themes that emerged from the submissions included more priority being given to the intensification of urban centres, the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and urban growth, ensuring growth areas are serviced by appropriate public transport, provision of infrastructure required to support growth, and concerns related to greenfield development.

With submissions now heard, both Councils will meet again at FDS confidential briefings and deliberation hearings later this month.

The original deliberation dates of 25 and 26 May are now scheduled to be confidential briefings.

However, the public will be able to join the deliberation hearings on 31 May and the new date of 2 June via Zoom.

The FDS Subcommittee will then deliberate on the submissions feedback, with the intention for the Joint Committee of the Nelson and Tasman Councils to consider adopting the policy decisions arising from the FDS on 27 July and for the FDS to be adopted in August.

Thank you to everyone who has engaged so far.

Keep up to date with progress on the strategy at tasman.govt.nz/fds.

Understanding our geological natural hazards The Tasman District has diverse and complex geology and is seismically active.

This geology has formed the places where we live, work and play, and makes Tasman unique – we have a largely mountainous District, with alluvial flood plains and coastal strips associated with the Waimea, Motueka, Riwaka, Tākaka and Aorere rivers.

As part of our natural hazards work programme, we have commissioned technical advice to better understand our geological natural hazards – active earthquake faults, seismic liquefaction and slope instability.

In late May, we’re hosting two interactive webinars that will discuss the technical information and what it may mean for landowners as well as the wider community.

These webinars will be: • Thursday 26 May, 7.00 pm – 8.00 pm • Friday 27 May, 12.00 pm – 1.00 pm Senior Resource Scientist – Natural Hazards Glenn Stevens and Senior Policy Planner Diana Worthy will talk through our geological natural hazards as well as answer your questions. They’ll be presenting the new technical information regarding active earthquake faults, liquefaction and slope instability.

It is free to register and attend. Each webinar will follow the same format and presentation, although the questions will vary depending on audience participation. If you can’t make one of these times, one of the webinars will be recorded and posted on our website so you can watch it later.

The supporting technical reports and maps are also available on our website.

For more information and webinar links visit tasman.govt.nz/natural-hazards.

Youth leadership opportunities Did you know we offer grants of up to $500 for Tasman youth to participate in youth leadership opportunities?

This can be used for activities such as The Spirit of New Zealand, Outward Bound, Festival for the Future, Whenua Iti Outdoors and other experiences, conferences and workshops.

The grant is provided to support the personal development of young people living in Tasman.

Applications are accepted all year round.

Don’t miss the chance to enjoy a potentially lifechanging opportunity. Get all the details and apply now on our website, tasman.govt.nz/grants.

We hope these will support schools, community groups and businesses to undertake waste minimisation activities and help move us closer to achieving our waste minimisation goals.

The three different waste minimisation grants are all funded by the waste levy distributed by the Ministry for the Environment. These cover: • Waste minimisation grants for schools, early childhood centres and community groups.

• Waste minimisation grants for community events.

• Waste minimisation projects grant (for larger, innovative waste minimisation projects).

Applications for the events and school/community grants are open year-round and will be considered as they are received.

The first round of applications for larger waste minimisation projects is open now and closes on Sunday 29 May 2022.

The aim of the new waste minimisation projects grant is to support new activities and projects that avoid or reduce the creation of waste and support our communities to show kaitiakitanga of our natural resources. Projects that supply long-term benefits to Tasman residents are encouraged.

You can read the full criteria and complete an application on our website, tasman.govt.nz, search ‘waste minimisation grants’.

Review: Ambulance

Adapted from a no doubt more reflective 2005 Danish film, Ambulance stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateem and Eliza Gonzalez. But no matter how brilliant their performances might be (and they really are) Ambulance will probably always be known as that “Michael Bay film”.

It is typical that the director/producer responsible for the Transformer films decided to make a white-knuckle bank heist/ chase through Los Angeles as his “smaller-scale pandemic project”.

Certain, and probably male, moviegoers less enticed by costume dramas or thoughtful foreign productions will find everything they want here, with wise-cracking heroes, gun battles, car chases and (naturally for Michael Bay) explosions aplenty.

But putting all this to one side, Ambulance is as much a thriller as an action film, with a large proportion of its scenes taking place within the cramped confines of a hijacked emergency vehicle.

The tension is mostly created by the chemistry between three main actors, rather than by road blocks or pursuing helicopters.

Abdul-Mateem plays Will, a recently returned serviceman, frustrated that although he has recently risked his life for his country, he is unable to find any support for his wife Amy’s surgery.

Desperately in need of cash for the procedure, he reluctantly contacts his adoptive brother Danny, a career criminal. Jake Gyllenhaal brings enormous charisma to this role, his rakish nonchalance contrasting well with his brother’s troubled conscience as Will agrees to act as a driver in a bank robbery, earning him the money he desperately needs.

A lone police officer drops by to ask out a teller he has long admired from afar, and although perfectly staged, the chance appearance causes the entire situation to unravel disastrously.

Will and Danny are forced to hijack an ambulance crewed by emergency medic Cam (Eliza Gonzalez), who is frantically working on the same policeman, shot and critically injured during the brothers’ escape.

Will’s recent background operating high-speed vehicles under combat conditions enables the ensuing chase to last far longer than the law enforcement agencies are prepared for, although the fact that the ambulance also seems to have the armour of a tank and the inexhaustible fuel tank of an airliner helps too.

Despite these factors, the escaping brothers and their hostages find themselves cornered, and Danny is forced to take a dangerous option that even he is loath to consider. The usual testosteronecharged elements are all in place, but Ambulance represents a maturing of Michael Bay’s usual excesses. Most obviously, the lead character emerges not as either of the brothers, but in Eliza Gonzalez’s brave and resourceful Cam. Under impossible conditions she fights to keep the flatlining officer alive, while also delivering one of the film’s most withering put-downs.

Incidentally, another zinger is similarly directed at an alpha male by a highly skilled woman, all this hopefully showing that Bay has finally realised his female characters can be more than set decoration.

The build-up to the opening bank heist is unbearably suspenseful and achieved through expert editing, the relentless soundtrack, plus footage from drones pushed past their operational limits.

But best of all, Bay is secure enough to mock his own career in an on-screen conversation about 1996’s The Rock, the film that established his reputation. There is even an unexpected treat for secret fans of ‘80s crooner Christopher Cross, acting as a “pressure release valve” when most needed.

However, as is the case with most contemporary Hollywood studio films, there is at least one action set piece too many.

Happily, many should find that Will, Danny and Cam have been so well realised that they stay on board for the exhilarating ride, even if Ambulance had long since smashed through their credibility barrier.

The Village Theatre is proud to be hosting the Golden Bay screening of the Top of the South film Festival on Friday 27 May. Now in its eighth year, the festival showcases short films across all genres, produced in Tasman, Nelson Marlborough Westport and Kaikōura.

Village Theatre manager Fiona Mountford explains that it is actually two festivals on the same night. The first is the “Young Top of the South Filmmakers” section, and the doors will open at 4.30pm for a 5-6pm screening. This will be of particular interest to Golden Bay because among the eight entries are films from Motupipi and Central Schools. The ticket price is $7 for adults and young people.

Then the doors will reopen at 6.30pm for the adult

filmmakers section: “The Gold Reel” screening. Photographs and interviews will take place on the red carpet before the show begins at 7.30pm through to 10pm.

Twelve shorts covering everything from comedy to drama, horror, documentaries and animations will be shown, produced by some filmmakers already familiar to local audiences from Tākaka’s own Allshorts film festival. Among them is Golden Bay-based Benji Wick who has entered his award-winning music video: Nurture.

This event is rated for a mature audience and tickets are $20.

As live gatherings gradually return, this is a great opportunity to support our local creative talent and young filmmakers of the future. All tickets are available either from the Pohutukawa Gallery (cash only) or the Village Theatre (cash or eftpos).

FOR THE BEST DEALS ON WHEELS Ph 03 525 8233 | 19 Motupipi St, Takaka 10

Last Thursday afternoon the Golden Bay Senior Citizens meeting hosted a short presentation by local environmentalist Marian Milne.

Marian has farmed in Golden Bay since 1990 and has had a long association with conservation projects, including the Tasman Environmental Trust, the Ōnekakā Biodiversity Group and Golden Bay Bird Rescue.

She is currently employed part time by the HealthPost Nature Trust as a project co-ordinator, and visited Tākaka to describe the work being carried out at the Farewell Spit and the Wharariki Ecosanctuary.

Marian began by giving a quick overview of the trust’s work to re-establish biodiversity to the ecologically significant but largely barren tip of the South Island. She then focused on the high-profile predator-proofing carried out at Cape Farewell.

This sanctuary is now home to 50 fluttering shearwater chicks translocated from the Marlborough Sounds in January this year.

Marian illustrated her talk with video and still images of the projects, including the plantings and artificial burrows created to help the chicks flourish. Night-vision footage allowed glimpses of them adapting to their new predator-free environment, and the trust intends to increase the shearwater population there to 250 by 2024. After they fledge, they will spend several years at sea before hopefully returning to breed.

“Our big hope is that they’ll come back and maybe bring

a friend or two,” explained Marian. “But that will not happen until they’re three, four or five, perhaps even six years old, so you have to play the long game with this.”

HealthPost’s ethos does not allow them to use any kind of toxic bait, but their trapping efforts have so far proven effective against mustelids and possums. Marian described a “lucky” catch where a stoat and a weasel were caught in the same trap, allowing a golden opportunity for educating volunteers in the subtle differences between the two predators. Rodents continue to prove more elusive; unreachable outcrops of vegetation on the sheer cliffs below the Cape Farewell fencing potentially shelter rats.

The trust’s work at its Farewell Spit field station has brought it into contact with an unexpected pest, present in surprising numbers. Wild pigs inhabit this stretch of land all the way up to the lighthouse, and their destructive activities are anathema to the conservation work being carried out. Fortunately a government grant has enabled a feasibility study to find solutions to this problem.

With so much important work happening on our doorstep, Marian says she enjoys the opportunity to spread the word. Until the next shearwater translocation she and her volunteers will continue with the planting and restoration of the ecosanctuary, gradually bringing our northernmost coast back to life.

The Red Bathroom Company SPECIALISING IN BATHROOM RENOVATION

Steve Lewis

Golden Bay’s men’s 2nd XI were in action against Nelson Suburbs FC Nayland at Tākaka’s Rec Park last Saturday.

It was the first opportunity to see the Stingrays in action on home turf this season, but it proved to be a frustrating fixture for the hosts who conceded eight goals and failed to find the opposition’s net.

The first of those goals came after just five minutes, by which time the visitors had already established a firm grip on the game – not allowing the hosts time on the ball, and stringing together simple and accurate passes.

It wasn’t all one-way traffic though; the Stingrays looked sharp on the break, while the young players chased down the opposition and put pressure on the ball.

With players aged between 14 and 69 years-old, the Stingrays blend youth and experience into a potentially effective side, but they couldn’t prevent the slick Suburbs doubling their lead around 15 minutes into the match.

Despite the visitors’ relentless attacks, they did not manage to add to their tally for the remaining 30 minutes of the first half. The Stingrays defended stoutly, none more so than veteran keeper Roland Muntwyler who stopped numerous goal-bound shots.

It wasn’t until 15 minutes into the second half that Suburbs eventually broke though to take the score to 3-0.

With around 20 minutes to play, the home side came close to getting off the mark when a corner kick created mild panic in the Suburbs’ defence. But it wasn’t the Stingrays’ day and, following a goalmouth scramble, the visitors managed to clear the danger.

The near miss seemed to re-energise Suburbs who, in the space of a 10-minute onslaught, netted a further five goals to extend their lead over the tiring Stingrays to 8-0. Not long after the last of those goals – a cleanly struck volley from outside the penalty area – the final whistle ended what had been a difficult afternoon for the home side.

Suburbs’ coach Jason Levington was naturally pleased with the outcome. “It was a good game; we played the ball around better.”

His Golden Bay counterpart Pete van der Meer was clearly stung by the manner of the defeat, but acknowledged the superiority of the opposition. “Their boys were just better than

us. We worked hard but we were all over the place. We couldn’t get the passes together.” But he still took some positives from the match. “It’s just one of those days, but it’s a good lesson.”

In addition to the Stingrays game, the Rec Park also hosted three youth matches. Golden Bay’s other juniors and youth sides travelled as did the men’s and women’s 1st XI teams.

Hot competition at winter netball SUBMITTED

Winter netball continues to produce top quality competition.

On Tuesday 10 May, Bay Fitness and Courthouse faced off at 6pm. Both teams were low on numbers but did not disappoint.

In a fast-paced match, which saw some sharp shooting from Jarrah and multiple intercepts from Sheree, the Courthouse team took the tie 39-16.

In the 7pm fixture CAS A took on Collingwood Tavern. The school team has a great start and Natalie in GA displayed some impressive shooting while Paige played really well in defence.

But, Collingwood Tavern came out winners thanks to solid defence from Mel and Adele, and great shooting from Dani and Sam. The final match of the evening saw Loose Screws up against NBS. The Screws started as if on fire but NBS came out strongly in the second quarter, taking the lead and really found their groove in the second half. After an intense 40 minutes, NBS came away with a 42-14 win in their colourful funky socks.

Therapist relieves pain and stress ROSA VOLZ

There is a new health practitioner in town. Marie-Laure Darricarrere is a Pilates and Qigong instructor and Scenar therapist specialising in pain and stress-relief therapy.

Her services are available via the Golden Bay Health Centre every Saturday.

Marie-Laure explains that Qigong is the practice of cultivating life force through a variety of techniques.

“It’s more than breathing – it is an ancient Chinese art involving slow movements, postures, meditation and breathing; it is a self-healing tool encompassing Chinese wisdom.”

Taught by a Qigong master, Yuan Tze, who created a holistic system called Ren Xue, (https://www.renxueinternational.org/) Marie-Laure often combines her treatment with Qi healing – a form of energy healing.

Marie-Laure first came across Qi healing 11 years ago when she discovered a lump on her breast and decided to attend a Qigong retreat. “We arrived in Sweden [at the retreat]. There were 70 people in the room bringing a special energy. I felt energy, warmth and love in my chest, and that evening I discovered the lump had disappeared.”

Marie-Laure was inspired to teach because she realised that “if my mind and body are able to heal themselves, perhaps I can also help others.”

She says she can see and feel the Qi in other people. “It is like an intuition that brings me the information on how to help people. I combine my intuition with my tools to treat people.”

Therapy options include Scenar therapy, a well-recognised and internationally certified medical device. Scenar is a noninvasive natural therapy using electrical impulses on the skin combined with patient feedback, “sending information to the brain on how to recover, supporting recovery and healing.

The Scenar works on the nervous system, either activating or relaxing’’. Marie-Laure received Scenar training from a Russian scientist in France and a doctor in New Zealand.

She also offers private Pilates sessions and classes. Pilates is an effective and safe system of controlled exercises that engages the mind and conditions the total body to improve general fitness and overall well-being. It concentrates on

posture, balance and flexibility, says Marie-Laure.

“Pilates made also a huge difference on my body and posture; I feel stronger, and the tensions are released.”

Treatment is suitable for those seeking healing, pain relief, anxiety relief or physical therapy.

When devising a treatment plan, “I start with the most significant pain and symptom,” she says.

Marie-Laure is taking bookings for appointments and Pilates classes via her website: www.re-source.com Ph: 021 027 93739.

Readers of The GB Weekly receive a discounted price of $50 (down from $75) for their first treatment.

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.

hs ree^

The Bay’s new recruit Brenton Edwards introduces himself to The GB Weekly readers: I have been with my wife Sarah since we were in our teens; we have two children together – Max our son who is six, and Blayke our daughter who is four. Sarah is currently pregnant with our third child due late August. We are excited to have moved to Tākaka to start a new chapter of our lives.

I started my Policing career in Hawkes Bay after working as a prison officer. Last year we moved down to Tasman to be closer to family and I worked for a year out of the Motueka Police Station until we decided to drive over to Tākaka to spend the day at the beach. Instantly we were all amazed at how beautiful Golden Bay was. I am excited to be a part of this fantastic community and look forward to giving my family the opportunity to grow up in such a wonderful place.

If I am not working I am usually hunting, camping or reliving my youth through my kids. I enjoy throwing the rugby boots on to go for a run on the paddock, however, the body isn’t quite so willing these days. I am excited to explore a lot of what Golden Bay has to offer. It has already exceeded our expectations and we are humbled by the support and kindness of the community.

I look forward to meeting you all personally.
