The club will also have a presence at the Rec Park Centre for those attending the Girls' & Boys' Agricultural Show.
Manager of NBS Tākaka Dean Lund says
“Each class gets half an hour,” says Ngaire.
When The GB Weekly turned up at TPS, a group of Year 1 and 2 students were being taught how to hold a racquet and enjoying a game that involved chasing balls. The fiveand six-year-olds were buzzing after their session, delivering verdicts such as “It’s fun” and “I love it”.
“Because of the road's narrowness, and to keep contractors safe, the route needs to be closed while this work is done,” explains WKNZTA system manager for Top of the South, Andrew James. “We have chosen to do overnight closures as this is when there is less traffic. It lets us complete maintenance and improvement in the shortest possible time, with the smallest amount of disruption."
The road will be temporarily opened at 1am each night for vehicles queued at the two road closure points – Aaron Creek Road and Riwaka Valley Road, but WKNZTA insists that road users must be at those closure points by 12.30am if they wish to travel over the Hill.
Closure locations and schedule: SH60 Tākaka Hill, between Riwaka Valley Road (Riwaka) and Aaron Creek Road (Upper Tākaka), closed nightly (8pm5.30am with a brief 1am opening) Sunday 2 October to Thursday 20 October. The road will open at weekends (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights) with the exception of the night of Sunday 2 October.
To mark the start of a new season, the club is holding an Open Day tomorrow, which it hopes will attract families from across the Bay. All equipment will be supplied, though Shauli says players need to wear tennis shoes. There will also be free coaching and a barbeque provided.“Theycan come and have a lot of fun,” says Shauli. “There’s no cost, no need to sign up; just come and have a go.”
With a full weekly schedule catering for all ages, GBTC welcomes new members to the new season, which follows its Open Day.
Beginning at 5.30pm Monday 26 September with a social tennis night, the almost-daily schedule offers a session to suit everyone.

Shauli is grateful for the contribution. “We really appreciate NBS's support through funding of Tennis in Schools and also their passion and willingness to help in the future."
Temporary speed restrictions will be in place for the duration of the works, with traffic management staff controlling the traffic.Andrew says he understands the closures and delays may inconvenience some road users. “We do appreciate this type of work does cause disruptions.

Bay Art judges "super high-profile"
With professional experience that spans the arts, marketing
As Golden Bay’s creatives prepare their entries for next month’s Bay Art, they can rest assured that their work will be assessed by expert eyes.
Josephine is an award-winning installation artist who makes paintings, objects and assemblages. She has won the Wallace Art Award Jury Prize (2016), The National Contemporary Awards Merit Prize (2016), and Molly Morpeth Canaday 3D (2018) and 2D (2017) Merit Prizes. She has had multiple solo and public exhibitions nationally and internationally. Her most recent exhibition – Be Soft Be Strong hosted by the Sanderson Gallery in Auckland – featured in Art New Zealand
Her verdict on the Bay Art “bench” is backed up by plenty of solid evidence from the trio’s resumés, brief summaries of which are provided below:
“We have great pleasure welcoming three super high-profile judges from Auckland, Wellington and Nelson to judge the event,” says Community Arts Council worker Claire French.
While the black and white moving images from two Charlie Chaplin classics – A Dog’s Life and The Kid – are screened, two top musicians will perform an accompanying soundtrack.JeremyFitzsimons (NZSO/Orchestra Wellington) will feature on percussion with David Selfe (Hayley Westenra/ New Frontier Records) on keyboards.
At the Mussel Inn, Thursday 6 October. Show starts at 8pm, tickets are $20, available through Eventfinda.

Consequently, and with the Ricketts family still on hand to help, the stricken animal was rolled into a sling and lifted onto a mattress on the back of a ute. It was then transported to the boat ramp at Tata beach, chosen due to the accessibility of deeper water close to shore. After being lowered into the water by four DOC staff, the dolphin was held while it acclimatised before it swam off at approximately 10pm.

The Ricketts family are no strangers to whale strandings. the farmhouse at the base of Farewell Spit they are used to being called into action to help with major rescue operations.ButonMonday, they became involved with a much smaller event. While on their evening walk along the inner beach near Triangle Flat, the Ricketts came across a pair of stranded common dolphins, one of which had already died.
Living in
Knowing exactly what to do, the family alerted the Department of Conservation while they organised sheets and buckets to help keep the surviving dolphin cool and hydrated. DOC rangers arrived after the light had faded and, following an assessment of the situation, decided that, as it was stranded on the outgoing tide, it would be less stressful for the dolphin if
it was refloated as soon as possible rather than leaving it until the next morning's high tide.
On Tuesday morning DOC staff buried the deceased dolphin on the inner beach of Farewell Spit following a karakia by local iwi.Members of the public are advised to report whale or dolphin strandings to the DOC emergency hotline 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468).
If it’s so easy to call the Voices For Freedom members and supporters extreme right conspiracy theorists, then it must be just as easy to call Labour Party members and supporters communists. One could also argue that radical left liberal wokeism has no place in a well-functioning democracy
When the NZ Government: funds mainstream media to the tune of $55m via the Public Interest Journalism Fund (which was used to fund Stuff’s Fire and Fury); has introduced the Aotearoa New Zealand Public Media Bill which will merge RNZ and TVNZ into a Crown entity; saturates newspapers with full-page paid-for ads, and radio and TV stations with constant commercials; declares itself as the "Single source of truth"; and silences alternative voices, it starts to look a lot less like “independent journalism” and a lot more like State propaganda.
Serving us “boots and all”
When we elect councillors to represent all ratepayers and residents, irrespective of sex, race, colour or creed, it is just that. They will serve us “boots and all".

Where has our humane-ity gone?
I find myself agreeing with Alec Milne that “independent investigative journalism plays a very important role in a wellfunctioning democracy” (GBW, 16/9). Sadly, in New Zealand we have neither an independent mainstream media nor a well-functioning democracy. Freedom of speech and open debate are key elements of democracy.
Tuesday morning on Radio NZ it was announced that 26-year-old Rory Nairn was the second New Zealander known to die as a direct result of receiving a Covid vaccination. It was reported that he was not advised of the risks and, like many, trusted our Government authorities who repeated with unprecedented vigour that it was “safe and effective”. The fact
Independent journalism vs propaganda
When I was younger, studying history, I wished I could understand the mindset of human beings who actively participated in, or even silently went along with, atrocities like witch burnings, Nazi extermination programmes, and even McCarthyism in the 1950s. Now I think I do. And I wish I Letheadidn’t!Erz
Reg Turner
Alec Milne’s penned thoughts (GBW, 16/9), are exactly what I feared after wincing through Paula Penfold’s Fire and Fury, where the journalist dug a shallow pothole for a big poo of propaganda, and ad hominem argument. Stuff was sold for $1 in 2020, giving us an idea of the value of its journalism. This production was funded by the Government’s Public Interest Journalism Fund to the tune of $170,000. Penfold has abhorrently acknowledged that she ignored her journalistic obligation of right of reply for her targets – essential! Especially when her targets are fighting censorship, flying a flag for freedom of speech. None of the actual claims made by Penfold’s targets were addressed, ignoring the core discussion entirely, choosing character assassination instead. Tragically, the programme has hoodwinked many New Zealanders with Penfold’s other sly technique of guilt by association… Voices for Freedom have done nothing wrong. While a checkered past and cherry-picked words by Counterspin’s Kelvin Alp may be inflammatory, Voices for Freedom – like the name suggests – represent over 100,000 Kiwis sounding off for open democracy. If Mr Milne also stands for open democracy, which is championed by discourse, then he will read VFF’s reply, a 15-page formal complaint.
Because the deaths of New Zealanders who died in the last two years, regardless of cause but with a positive test, were attributed to a virus that we are told is still “in the community”, means it is okay to question published subsequent data. Common sense and human decency tell us to be considerate of others if we have a contagious disease of any nature, and not be expected to blindly obey the most well-meaning of Victoriadirectives.Davis
Searching for the truth
We recently enjoyed observing an Australasian bittern, or matuku, feeding in a watercressy swamp adjacent to the Motupipi inlet. It's the first one we have spotted for 20-odd years.These birds are very shy and secretive by nature and often freeze in a bizarre upright manner when disturbed or feeding. Unfortunately they have become very scarce in recent times and apparently now only number less than 1000 birds nationwide.Previously
Complaint against Fire and Fury
Samantha Blanchard
While I don’t agree with everything from Voices for Freedom, I do know the allegations presented in Fire and Fury are an insult to the intelligence of most Kiwis who can and should be able to see through such blatant propagandaAmandatactics.Thompson
For a democracy to work, the people need to be an informed populace, seek a balanced perspective and be willing to go to more than one source for information.
they were relatively numerous at Whanganui Inlet especially around Mangarakau and Rakopi but less so now. It would be interesting to know how many birds remain in our region and the best time to identify their presence is by the loud booming sound the male birds make in spring. The prime time for the booming is an hour or so before dawn on still nights in late September and October, so listen up especially around the swamps and inlets of Golden Bay and notify DOC if you hear the distinctive call. They may also be identified by their slow and laboured flight around dusk andSimondawn.Faulkner

Fury over doco
I am astonished and deeply disturbed by the amount of hateful, ignorant vitriol being spoken, published, and acted out against candidates who are trying hard to preserve human rights and freedoms others seem so readily willing to surrender in the face of fear.
There is no better way to find out about the many different movements than to go to meetings and listen to their gospel. When elected, they will become responsible representatives to serve all the VFFs, the FESs, the LORs (Lords of the Rings), the Masons, and all the God-fearing religions and those of no
I suggest if you want verified information about the candidates standing for election you go to the primary source – the candidate themselves. Sit down with them with a cup of coffee, an open heart and an inquisitive mind. You may find a different truth than the one Stuff would want you to Amandabelieve.Clarke
Having viewed Stuff’s Fire and Fury, Alec Milne speaks of “The foul rhetoric from these extreme right conspiracy groups...”. Strong words indeed. Many of us have seen Voices For Freedom supporters with their signs protesting the mandates nationwide, sometimes noisily. Trevor Mallard referred to the thousands of protesters in Wellington as a "river of filth". As we approach election time should we be fearful of VFF influencing candidates who might then become our elected representatives? Was Paula Penfold's portrayal of the group in her Fire and Fury documentary entirely balanced? The film's emotively charged name alone might suggest otherwise. Truth is an elusive thing, but facts are not. They just need to be uncovered. That can take effort. As we head into elections and pride ourselves as “factually informed voters” let's make the effort to understand VFF. They may appear less scary than the Penfold portrayal.
faith, to the best of their ability.
I have read the two letters (GBW, 16/9) by Alec Milne and Kathy Fleming and it is great this paper publishes all points of view, criticisms and praises.
Bittern boom times
THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 23 SEPTEMBER 20224
Stuff’s Fire and Fury is a dramatic, one-sided, hysterical piece of propaganda. As a result, a formal complaint has now been lodged against documentary-makers Paula Penfold, Louisa Cleave, and the Stuff Circuit production team for breach of Stuff’s own Editorial Code of Practice and Ethics as well as multiple Media Council principles and Broadcasting Standards in New Zealand. This formal complaint is broken down into sections to address the relevant standards, including: right of reply, accuracy, fairness, and balance, bias, diversity, discrimination, and prejudice.
In my view, the repulsively biased portrayal of people protesting for freedom of speech and choice, throughout the media, is far more dangerous and divisive than the parties in Penfold’s Fire and Fury.
Extreme right and radical left
I know nothing about Voices For Freedom, just as I know nothing about the Flat Earth Society. However, to be an informed representative, it is essential to learn about all the strange associations in our community.
Renowned filmmaker and author John Pilger addresses this very same issue in his latest article Silencing the Lambs: How Propaganda Works where he details how public opinion has been influenced in relation to several ongoing wars.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
that thousands of good people lost their jobs due to refusing to be coerced into taking the jabs, and that it caused untold division of friends and families, is a tragedy I hope we never face again. It should always be safe to question management of any challenge we are faced with, especially when it is about what treatments we choose to put in our bodies. The governmentimposed mandates ruined many a small business and caused financial disaster for too many kiwis.
Questioning is okay

In addressing themes of women in leadership, the meat industry, veganism, global food issues and family relationships, Moulder plays five characters. Each transition is enhanced by the use of recorded music, lighting and costume changes.
Delighted to have her “own” venue, Helen dubbed it Shopfront Theatre. The show opened and ran for seven weeks. People were invited to pop in at lunchtimes to chat about the play, see excerpts and give feedback.
Helen and Sue had only a week to rehearse in person before their new Arts on Tour show, as Sue had to fly in from her Brisbane base. Helen had further news to share about their creative collaborations.“Theexciting thing is we have just right now published our four plays in a book, so they’ll be for sale on tour. We are so thrilled it’s a beautiful book... People are always asking us if they can read the plays afterwards.”
Co-written with her director Sue Rider, The Bicycle and the Butcher’s Daughter promises a lively evening of entertainment.
Asked about what inspired her new play, Helen replied: “We wanted to write a play about a female Prime Minister, but then we got one, so changed [the character] Olivia into a CEO of a big company that she'd just taken over from her father. And I've always loved riding bicycles, so we thought we'd combine the

“It [the shop] was called Makeshift Spaces,"said Helen. "After lockdown there were a lot of empty shops, so to keep it looking lively they put artistic projects in them. So I said I’d like to do my play, can you find me one?”
Renowned actress Helen Moulder is bringing her latest solo show to Golden Bay next week.

For me, the blooming of peach blossoms marks the transition from winter to spring in my garden. Flowers embody beauty but, more significantly, they are the reproductive mechanism of plants. For pollination to occur, either wind, gravity or insects are necessary. No pollination, no seed. For annual plants this can mean the end.

Growing a diversity of flowers attracts more insects and translates to better pollination of our food crops. Annual flowers like borage, calendula, alyssum, cosmos and zinnia are striking and add an amazing display of colour and form. If left to selfseed, germination will begin as soon as the weather warms. Where possible I leave crops to go to flower, too. I might not always save their seed, but our flying friends get a feed of nectar that the crop flowers provide.

Corn, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons, zucchini, pumpkin and cucumbers (also 3, 20-22 Oct). Flowers (also 26 Oct).
Many of these perennials do well integrated with fruits, providing annual carbon contributions and encouraging beneficial insects. One of my favourites is alexanders, another member of the Apiaceae family along with fennel, parsnip and parsley. Right now it is in full flower with many umbels of tiny yellow flowers abuzz with bees, flies and parasitic wasps like Encasia formosa. These insects all help to pollinate other plants and help maintain a balance with our garden ecosystem. They either predate or parasitise other less helpful insects (eg codlin moth larvae), or become food for birds.
Harvest citrus with secateurs. Prune dense bushes hard. Remove rotten fruit. Spray citrus with copper vs dieback and scab, and neem/oil vs sap-sucking pests.
Several factors affect pollination, such as rainfall at the blossoming stage. Cloching/covering helps preserve the flowers’ integrity until insects do their work. Poor nutrition, especially calcium and boron deficiency also affects pollination. Boron is necessary for proper pollination and fruit or seed setting.
Take soft-tip cuttings from perennials and shrubs.
It is amazing to think that the diverse flowering plants we grow now for food, fibre, shelter, fuel or beauty all rely on pollination to prolong their existence. We can do our bit to proliferate flowers by avoiding the use of pesticides that poison our pollinators, and by saving seed, propagating, and planting as many as we can. The benefits are profound.
Plant: Best 4-15 October. Onions, salad greens, spinach, cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli, early tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, pumpkins, yams and main potatoes. Flowers, eg annuals.

Chrissy also spoke of her own mahi in achieving one of the aims of Te Ataarangi – empowering learners to become speakers and teachers themselves. Anne and Jocelynne Bacci are two of them, both of whom the Mohua community are fortunate to have. Their stepping up into kaiako roles has freed Chrissy from her role in Golden Bay.

The encouragement and enthusiasm Chrissy spoke with proved infectious, inspiring others to stand and speak as little or much te reo as they could. Waiata were interspersed throughout the korero, before the circle closed for he kapu ti me keke.
Rora Rāheke and Arohanui Fransen. Stressing the importance of the Mohua te reo community, Chrissy said she considers it to be stronger than any other group in Te Tau Ihu.
Inviting others to speak as little or as much te reo or in English, she opened the floor. Chrissy Piper saved the dramatic pause that followed by speaking next. Having been a kaiako in Mohua for many years, Chrissy travelled from Pokororo in the Graham Valley to teach evening Te Ataarangi classes at Te Awhina.Sheacknowledged those who initiated Te Ataarangi in the Top of the South in 1981– Rangitahi Hanigan, Della Nathan,

pounced on it. There was no time for the rat to run, T-Rex shook it hard and devoured it hungrily. He then thought he might chance the dining room to eat up any scraps that had been left on the floor.
Trudy must have a water shortage at her house, because she only washes her hair about every two weeks. On those rare days when her hair is clean, it’s wavy and shiny and bounces around her shoulders when she nods her head pretending to understand fractions and decimals. The rest of the time, unless her mother has put it into clips, her hair hangs down around her face and neck in greasy strands, some of which are just long enough to reach her mouth, into which she inserts them on a regular basis, for sucking purposes. Revolting.
Black Eclipse pricked her ears as she heard footsteps; it was the groom. The man strode in with her feed, set it down with a bang, roughly cleaned the stall and marched back out. Black Eclipse munched up her food, trying to keep her balance as the ship swayed in the swell. The storm seemed to have quietened down considerably but Black Eclipse had the feeling that it wasn’t the end of it.
Mrs Wirth sent me to the headmaster for the rest of the period. She didn’t make me talk to him; I just had to sit in the little reception area outside his office, contemplating the error of my ways. I was alone in there, bored, fiddling with my pencil. This particular pencil had a well used eraser on one end that didn’t stay securely in place; you could pull it out, like a cork from a bottle. I was playing with it, pulling it out and putting it back in. Then I put it in my nose. It was a good fit in my right nostril, just the end of it sticking out.
Judge's comment: Year Five Maths is a well described, if unkind description of a character that makes the reader cringe, yet cleverly changes the narrator’s position at the end. It is the narrator’s pleasing change of heart at the end, that made this one the clear winner.
By the morning the storm still raged outside. T-Rex, a brown and white terrier dog who used to be a stray but had been taken aboard the ship to keep the rats and mice down, lay down inside the cabin and rested his muzzle on his paws. After a while he lifted his head to stare out the window, the sea looked wild and furious.
during maths I could honestly say I’d never get within three metres of her. And I don’t talk to her either, except this one day when I had to, for her own good. She had gone to the blackboard because it was her row’s turn to do a demonstration problem. I was minding my own business, hoping Mrs Wirth’s fraction would be the kind that resulted in a decimal that ended with nine-nine-nine repeating, because I knew that would totally blow Trudy away.
I try to avoid Trudy, believe me. If she didn’t sit next to me
I became anxious as I watched Trudy rub the chalk against her tooth: Yes, I hated her, but did I want to see her do herself in? I’d never heard of chalk poisoning, but still, you read about freak stuff like this all the time: Girl Dies From Prolonged Crayon Exposure. Students Hospitalised After Inhaling Pencil Shavings.
“Hey, Mum,” I said on our way home. She’d been quiet; I knew she was annoyed about the incident. “Look at the bright side. At least I didn’t eat the bloody thing. And, who knows, I might have saved Trudy Wallace’s life.”
So that’s the first thing I hate about maths – irrelevant decimals and fractions. But the main thing I hate is Trudy Wallace, who sits on my left every single day. Trudy is the dumbest and most disgusting creature on earth, and anybody who doesn’t believe me just has to sit in my chair and watch her. First of all, she’s slow. You could demonstrate fractions and decimals for the rest of your life and Trudy still wouldn’t get it. She’d look at you with her head tipped to one side and then frown and suck her lower lip, and then start nodding, like she was right on the verge of grasping it, but you’d know she didn’t have a clue.

Two hours later, Mum was driving me home from A&E. There had been a doctor, two nurses, a pair of tweezers the length of Farewell Spit, and a good deal of “Now why did you say you put this foreign object into your nose?” Plus a disturbing aside from one of the nurses to Mum about how, if the tweezers didn’t get it, the doctor “might have to go through the throat”. Which made me “the patient’” It was kind of cool, but creepy at the same time.
“Oh my God! Trudy!” I screamed, jumping out of my seat and running to the blackboard. I grabbed the chalk from her hand and threw it to the floor, where it shattered into multiple pieces. Then I took her chin in my hands and yelled “Spit it out, you idiot! What kind of a moron are you?”
I turned to face Mrs Wirth, humiliation rushing up my neck and burning my ears. “She was eating chalk,” I said, suddenly feeling lame. “It could have been poisonous.”

6 hours later:
A few hours passed and the storm worsened; rain and wind battered the ship and massive waves rocked it dangerously. Black Eclipse snorted with terror as more thunder crashed overhead. She suddenly felt the ship tip with creaks and groans as if it were in pain. Black Eclipse panicked but she could neither see out nor get out. The ship was in chaos: the men were running and yelling at each other, and the dog was barking madly nearby. Amidst the chaos the groom found his way to Black Eclipse’s stall, opened the door, snatched up her lead rope and somehow managed to lead her onto the deck where he turned her loose and ran to join the other men getting into their lifeboats. Black Eclipse spun around and almost fell onto the slippery deck as the ship did another huge creak and almost tipped onto its side. Fear driven she charged over the steeply slanted deck and soared over the gunwale into the unknown! Her body crashed into the stormy waves. Legs churning, she fought to keep her head above the water.

The sea had been quite calm for the last week but in the evening a storm had risen, and now huge waves rammed against the ship. Black Eclipse snorted and half reared as the ship tipped slightly and regained its balance.
Then she did it. She took a tiny bite of chalk.
T-Rex stared over the edge, he had no intention of getting wet, but the ship suddenly did an almighty groan and flipped fully onto its side flinging T-Rex into the water.
Black Eclipse stumbled as the ship lurched sideways; she was a black Arabian filly that had been stolen and dragged onto the ship a few weeks ago by horse thieves, and since then had been stuck in a dark smelly stall with a small portion of food and water once a day.
Winner of the Short Story up to year 13 - The Big Storm by Antonia Leonor Ortiz-Mínguez
Mrs.Wirth rushed toward us, her heels clicking theatrically against the vinyl floor. “Girls!”
“I was not, you liar,” Trudy snapped.
Suddenly, the headmaster emerged from his office. As he was only a short distance from me, and I had an eraser protruding from my right nostril, I casually made as if to wipe my nose with my wrist, gently pushing the wee cork upwards a bit, just so he wouldn’t be able to see it. He picked up a folder, nodded at me, and returned to his office.
T-Rex was struggling to keep afloat when he caught sight of the horse powerfully propelling herself through the swell towards him. He made a mad scramble to get onto her neck, gripping for all he was worth.
Trudy doesn’t attend to her fingernails either, except when she finds a nail that’s long enough to trim with her teeth. Once I saw her use a remnant of her index fingernail – this little dirty-white, crescent-shaped tool – to scrape something nasty out of her ear.
She was poised at the blackboard, twisting a length of chalk between her fingers while she tried to comprehend the instructions. Then I watched as she lifted the chalk to her mouth and rubbed the end of it against her right front tooth.
Whew, I thought to myself, as I went to retrieve the eraser. It was then that I realised I had a problem: I couldn’t get two fingers into my one nostril, but with only one finger all I could do was push the rubber further upwards, where somehow it entered a cavity that I couldn’t access.
And the other thing about Trudy that is far worse than her dumbness? Her nauseating personal habits. Trudy keeps a wad of loo paper inside a zip pocket that clamps into her folder. She takes it out and blows her nose on it, usually when Mrs Wirth is writing on the blackboard. Then she licks the part she’s just blown her nose on – secretly, like she knows it’s gross but she just can’t help herself.
The sun went down, and Black Eclipse slept standing up beneath a tree with T-Rex curled up at her feet.
Chalk is probably just some harmless mineral. On the other hand, as everyone knows, some “harmless minerals” are laced with evil substances. Perhaps chalk contains trace amounts of strychnine. Or cyanide. Or something worse that people haven’t even discovered yet.
What’s chalk made of, I was wondering as I watched her. It couldn’t possibly be toxic. Nobody would be tempted to eat it anyway. I mean, you can definitely see the appeal of a little dab of white paste on your fingertip, particularly if your stomach is rumbling for lunch. But chalk? No way, no thank you.
Black Eclipse continued to stay afloat allowing the current to carry her. It was now midday and the storm had passed. The sun had finally come out and the sea became a sparkling lake, but Black Eclipse was very tired. At long last a land mass came into Exhaustedsight!she scrambled out of the water, T-Rex jumped off her back onto the golden sand and began sniffing around. Both desperately thirsty, followed each other across the beach and over the sandy bank. Beyond, there were lush hills dotted with trees and a nearby stream trickling between a rocky outcrop. Black Eclipse and T-Rex thankfully hurried towards the stream and drank thirstily. Black Eclipse then began to graze peacefully while T-Rex hunted for food.
Judge's comment: The Big Storm walked the line between plot and description to create a short tale containing suspense and tension.
As the evening drew near, Black Eclipse could hear thunder echoing around the sky. Suddenly there was a big flash of lightning which was abruptly followed by a peal of thunder. The wind whistled, and the sea grew turbulent and wild.
The Weekly Writing Competition
Mrs Wirth is at the blackboard, explaining for the zillionth time how to convert a fraction to a decimal. We’ve been converting fractions to decimals for two weeks now, and some of us (myself not included, by the way) still don’t get it. Yes, I can perform the function, no problem. But do I see the point? No, I don’t; fractions are perfectly happy just as they are.
The sun rose but clouds continued to obscure it, making the day cold and wet. The waves were still big, but the worst of the storm was over. T-Rex was riding on Black Eclipse’s neck trying to stay as dry as possible, but waves kept washing over him.
T-Rex stretched and got up, deciding to go and hunt some food. His amazing rodent catching abilities had earnt him his name. The cabin door had been left open, so he trotted down to the T-Rexstoreroom.stealthily crept towards a large rat nibbling on some grain behind a sack and with accurate timing suddenly

The large cast of fascinating characters are the highlight of any Dickens story, but rarely so perfectly cast as they are in this film. Valerie Hobson makes a luminous adult Estella while Finlay Currie as the hulking, but paternal, Magwitch is a powerful screen presence. Lean even manages to portray a genuinely tense action sequence on the River Thames.
Somehow Dickens's exquisitely observed writing, though first published in the mid-nineteenth century, still resonates with contemporary audiences in any era. And his characters are probably the best known in English literature, remaining layered, complex and always entertaining.

HUGHES Review: Great Expectations (1946) Buy tickets online at www.villagetheatre.org.nz ꟾ 32 Commercial Street, Takaka ꟾ phone 525 8453
Opening on the bleak and glowering Kent marshes as Philip (Pip) Pirrip visits the grave of his parents, the gorgeous black and white photography might even have modern audiences wondering if the invention of colour film stock has been a mistake. The foreboding environment of tree bark, reeds and stone seems to vibrate with texture and detail which will make owners of high definition TVs sit up and take notice. But it is the interiors where everything meshes beautifully. The crumbling and dust-wreathed splendour of deranged Miss Havisham's decaying mansion is almost overpowering in its intricacy, but the photography works perfectly in tandem with the set design to always allow the actors to be the focus of the scene.

So when one of his best known stories was adapted by Lean in 1946, and the characters brought to life by future knights of the stage, John Mills and Alec Guinness, the result was inevitably magic.

When organiser Peter Barker decided he wanted to screen a David Lean film for this year’s season of Classic Cinema, he realised that running time had to be a consideration. Lean’s best-known sweeping epics such as Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge over the River Kwai sail past a three-hour running time, so he selected one of Lean’s earlier, shorter works.

Even in 1946 this was not the first film version, and Charles Dickens continues to be adapted through the generations (the most recent screen version of David Copperfield was released in cinemas to acclaim only three years ago).
More upheaval follows, but Pip’s original goodness of heart manages to reassert itself and rifts are mended, but saving Estella from the suffocating influence of Miss Havisham may be the most difficult challenge of all.
Young Pip and Estella, (Miss Havisham’s young ward), are instantly appealing but the increasingly eccentric adult characters quickly energise the story. Freda Jackson as Pip’s waspish adult sister, and particularly Martita Hunt as Havisham, are forces of nature and later found fame as terrifying matriarchs in films such as Hammer’s Brides of Dracula.

We are making it even easier for you to cast your vote in Tasman. Voting Saturdays are coming to a library near you.
• The business is located in, or provides services in, the Nelson Tasman region;
Or if you choose to you can simply drop your completed papers back into your nearest New Zealand Post post box.
• The culvert must be in line with the river.
Voting in Tasman is as simple as putting a tick alongside the candidate you want to vote for, then return your papers.
Voting Saturdays are on 24 September, 1 October, and 8 October, from 9.30 until noon at your nearest library.
Strategy and Policy Committee
Can fish still pass through?
• Pays staff or yourself a wage, and
For more information or clarity around culvert requirements, call us on 03 543 8400.
Public forum presenters can speak in person or online. Visit tasman.govt.nz/meetings-calendar for details and the Zoom link.
• Culvert diameter is greater than 1.3 times the average stream width in the adjoining river reaches.
• Extra financial burden (including significant loss of income), costs due to the August 2022 flood event not covered by insurance or other funds; and
• Difficulty paying for your essential living costs (such as food, medication, accommodation);
Council meetings will take place in person and via Zoom, and public forum presenters can speak in person or online without the previous requirements of mask wearing and physical distancing.
• Erosion protection at the inlet and outlet.
Following the Government announcement that the traffic light system is being retired, wearing a face mask while visiting our service centres and libraries is no longer required. Please respect anyone around you who still chooses to, or needs to, wear a face mask.

All eligible voters across Tasman will soon receive their voting pack for the triennial Council elections. Our Council and two Community Boards play a critical role in supporting the resilience and prosperity of Tasman and now is the time to choose the people who you think can best fill this role.
In Tasman, we use the First Past the Post voting system which simply means you place a tick next to the names of the candidates you wish to vote for. You can vote for as many candidates as there are positions available to be filled in your ward or community board, and the candidates with the most votes win.
Voting Saturdays
Thursday 29 September, 10.45 am
Then please consider applying to the fund for support.
For the next three Saturdays at our libraries in Richmond, Motueka and Tākaka, you can call in and make a special vote, or drop your completed ballot papers into one of the big orange bins.
Do you need extra assistance after the flooding?

The recent Tākaka Library Book Quiz was lively and colourful.
8 September, 36 children from Years 5 and 6 made up nine four-person teams representing all of Golden Bay’s primary schools, plus the homeschool group. The quiz this year was compiled using three books that contestants read in the lead up to the quiz: The Uprising: The Mapmakers in Cruxcia, by Eirlys Hunter, Across the Risen Sea by Bren MacDibble and Remarkable Animal Stories by Maria Gill. One round of questions was pitched for each book, and two rounds were completed before morning tea, with muffins generously provided by the supermarket. The third round and a general knowledge round

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.

This year, for the first time, contestants came dressed as book characters to pitch their luck in gaining the most number of points for correct answers. Each team, bearing names such as King Bobs, The Brainy Squad and Rambunctious Readers, were dressed in creative costumes, some of which reflected easily recognisable book characters.
Library manager Carolyn Roberts conducted the quiz and kept the pace humming along. There were two spot prizes for each round and a big prize for the best dressed.
The overall winners were the Team Awesomeness homeschoolers with the most correct answers. Each team member received a $15 Take Note gift voucher. GT Cheese from Central Tākaka Primary came second, and The Scholars from Tākaka Primary School came third and also took out the Best Dressed prize.
Minty learned to drive the truck, but drove a Holden to do the school bus run. The small Whakarau school fluctuated between nine and 12 pupils, and parents took turns piling all the children into one car.
Minty helped on the farm and kids joined in when old enough. “Doonhill” was a 1000-acre sheep and beef farm. The Henderson family were hard workers and good operators, and won the “East Coast Farmer Of the Year” in 1972. In school holidays the family worked together, but made times for exploring on the farm, swimming in the creek and, each May, two-week road trips around the North Island.
Due to isolation, both children went to boarding school in Gisborne. Minty faithfully posted letters twice weekly, and this continuing when both went on to university and work. Christmases were always a Trafford reunion, with a highlight
Her next adventure was travelling by ocean liner to Britain. Minty’s desire was to visit her father’s sister, her godmother Aunt Rose. Soon after Minty’s arrival, the King died, so Minty changed her return booking and stayed for the coronation of the Queen. She was one of the Kiwis allocated a place on the route of the Royal Coronation Procession.
While on her OE she taught in various schools, got to know extended family and hitchhiked, seeing much of the country.
During the Gisborne-Opotiki highway upgrade, an engineer boarded with the family. Linley’s eldest sister pronounced Linley as “Lintey”, and the engineer said “Minty”. The name stuck.Schooling was at the small Wairata School, with children travelling on the Gisborne-Auckland service car. The timetable meant arriving late to school and leaving early so, for better education, children were bussed over Trafford’s Hill to Matawai School. The “bus” was a truck with long wooden seats and a canvas
Whencover.children grew to high-school age, boarding in Gisborne was the only option for further education. Having four at boarding school at once was too expensive, so the family moved to Gisborne flats, to a farm belonging to Minty’s mother’s family. That still meant the children rowed across the Waipaoa River to catch the bus to the District School. Minty’s teeth caused her problems. There were no braces in those days, so all her teeth were removed and she spent a year “gummy” before getting false teeth. That’s a challenging year for any teenager, but resilient Minty did well at school and was awarded dux.
Her goal was to be a doctor, but money was too tight for university, so Minty headed to Dunedin to train as a Home Craft teacher. She joined the student tramping club, enjoyed the social life and made lifelong friends. Upon qualification, she taught at Levin and Foxton, boarding in Palmerston North.
Cooking was on a coke-fired stove until electricity arrived. There was a kerosene fridge, no freezer and washing was boiled in the copper and wrung with a hand-wringer. A 12-volt lighting plant charged batteries with only enough current to run two lights at a time. They brought up two children, Neil and Joyce, but carried the sadness of losing three more babies to rhesus blood incompatibility, which was only just being understood.
JOYCE WYLLIE
Linley Mary Trafford was born and lived 70 years in Gisborne before moving to Golden Bay.
Beloved lady lived her life well
being fresh raspberries picked from Aunty Minty’s garden.
Minty was always involved in community activities wherever she lived: church, school, Rural Women, tramping clubs, catering at the local saleyards, flower shows and card nights, and she often served as an office-holder, organiser or newsletter editor.

That challenge, however, loosened Robin’s roots to the farm, and a few years later he decided he was ready to retire to Gisborne, leaving Neil to work there on his own. They returned often to help Neil, but had more time for tramping and holidays, often staying in Golden Bay with Joyce, who was working in the vet clinic there.
They also travelled overseas and flew around West Australia and the Robinoutback.developed partial paralysis and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Surgery and radiation followed, but after postoperative complications he pragmatically declared that “this mountain was too hard to climb” and died on 26 July 1999.
She continued to live in Gisborne, visiting the farm, looking after Neil and Esther’s three children and flying to Golden Bay to visit Joyce, husband Jock and two children at Kaihoka. On one of these trips Minty bought a nice little house at Pakawau Beach and made her final move in 2002, but still flew north to visit family and friends.

Phone calls eased the loneliness of living alone during lockdowns. She was very independent and, at 93 years old, had only one night in Nelson hospital before also stating “that this hill is too steep”. Her peaceful death reunited her with her beloved husband after 23 years.
After a Collingwood celebration of Minty’s life, her ashes were carried by family to Gisborne and placed in the soil of her home with Robin. She left two children and five grandchildren she was very devoted to, and many cherished friends. An inspiring example of a Christian with her sleeves rolled up, she lived with high standards, definite opinions and a love and acceptance of people. Her son, Neil, ended his tribute: “So ends the remarkable and inspiring story of a very special, beloved-by-many lady who lived her life well.”
In 2013 Minty had a stroke and spent time in hospital. She lost ability to read or recognise letters of the alphabet but worked hard to regain her skills, finally returning to her Pakawau home and looking after herself again. With her usual resilience, Minty made an amazing recovery. She made one more trip to Gisborne to attend the funeral of her younger brother, visit her childhood home and school.
THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 23 SEPTEMBER 2022 13
Mail came twice a week; with it came fresh unsliced bread from the local baker. On Monday, Minty sliced bread and the kids made lunches for the week. Her frugal upbringing and home economics background meant Minty was well organised, with a strict budget. She lived with ordered daily routines, healthy meals, preserved fruit and vegetables through the summer, always had full biscuit tins, weighed everyone on the first Sunday of the month, had rostered chores for kids and a black mark system for misdemeanours.
The fourth of five children, she lived on a remote undeveloped farm at the foot of Trafford’s Hill in the Waioeka Gorge. Cooking was on wood stoves, lighting was candles and lanterns, home insulation was an extra jersey, and there were no luxuries through the Depression years.
Back in NZ, Minty stayed with her parents, working around the district as home help for mothers with little children. During this time she met Robin Henderson, who lived on a farm a few valleys over. They married in February 1955 and honeymooned in his Morris truck. For the next 32 years they farmed in the Whakarau Valley, inland from Gisborne.
In 1976, the farm suffered a massive landslip. This ruined acres of paddocks, the driveway, fences and access road, took out the lawn and threatened the house, which had to be evacuated and shifted. TV crews and reporters arrived at Doonhill, and heavy machinery ruined Minty’s beautiful garden. The family stayed in the shearers’ quarters and it was well over a year before they moved back into the re-sited house and Minty started rebuilding her garden.
Minty was parted from her best mate – for a time. She was raised in a Christian home and her grandma, living with the family, taught the children Sunday School and Bible studies. Minty walked in her Christian faith throughout her life and that hope sustained her through grief and difficult days.
