Golden Bay Community Board’s first meeting of the year took place in its now-regular Monday afternoon timeslot at Tasman District Council (TDC) Service Centre in Tākaka.

Board chair Abbie Langford was unable to attend in person but joined the meeting, chaired by Grant Knowles, via Zoom.

Public Forum Noel Baigent opened the contributions by thanking the board for its support through the seven years it took to reinstate the grandstand, saying “heritage is important” and noting that, as a result of the rebuild, “social harmony is restored, and friendships rekindled”.

Roads and lights at Port Tarakohe were the twin topics raised by Andrew Lamason, who began by highlighting the danger at the “rock arch” on Abel Tasman Drive, suggesting a barrier might be installed to separate traffic and pedestrians. He moved on to discuss the light pollution from the port, where the flood lights were seemingly on “through all hours of darkness”.

The issue was reprised by Peter Bromley, who suggested implementing mitigation measures for the port lights. He then expressed his concern regarding the exterior light at Pōhara Hall, which he said created “a constant problem with glare” for anyone walking on the beach at night.

Paul Sangster’s main concern related to TDC’s Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes (ONFL) project, specifically the lack of acknowledgement and/or feedback from council regarding public submissions.

“TDC should be keeping the community informed,” said Paul seeking illumination.

“We are being kept in the dark.”

Chair of Mohua Menzshed, Dave Myall, was seeking support for the group’s proposed building on the Rec Park reserve at the end of Park Avenue. The application has been recently publicly notified by TDC, and Dave, after outlining the “multipurpose” nature of the facility, asked for the board to submit a letter of support to council.

Under the new procedure for public forum, items raised on the day are only subject to brief discussion by the board to agree on what initial actions need to be taken, so that a full response can be provided in the Chair’s Report at the subsequent board meeting. So, two-anda-half hours after these topics were raised, the board ended its public session by drawing up a to-do list: Continued on page 3

In a further demonstration of the severity of the challenge, Tākaka brigade’s Greg Fellowes struggled as he slowly and agonisingly dragged his dummy over the line. Hardly audible above the cheers, TVFB chief fire officer, and MC for the day, Philip Woolf acknowledged his firefighter’s achievement.

“Incredible determination shown by Greg.”

The second round of tandems culminated in another Tākaka-Collingwood showdown, this time between young guns Kyle Gardiner, aka Boo-Boo, and Sam Goffriller. At every stage of the run, two of Golden Bay’s finest were neck and neck. But it was fireman Sam who edged it, bringing his dummy home in 76.09 seconds, just one second before Kyle did the same. Recovering after removing his equipment, Sam tried to decsribe the difficulty of competing while wearing a respirator: “It’s like breathing through a straw; it’s pretty hard going.”

With the contest reaching its climax, DJ Graham pumped up the volume on Europe’s classic track “The Final Countdown”, which, appropriately, introduced the last event of the day.

GB Community Board - February Continued from page 1 • Pedestrian safety at Port Tarakohe “rock arch”: The board will write to port management.

• Port Tarakohe light pollution: The board will make the port management aware of the public concern.

• Glare from Pōhara Hall light: The board will discuss with the Pōhara Hall committee.

• Council update on the ONFL project: The board will request the project leader to provide feedback.

• Menzshed: Board chair Abbie Langford will make a formal submission in response to the public notification.

Presentation Golden Bay Forest & Bird Update: Chair of Forest & Bird’s Golden Bay branch, Cynthia McConville, provided a brief history of the organisation, which she said was “New Zealand’s largest, longest standing, and most recognised conservation group”.

Formed in 1923, Forest & Bird is celebrating its centenary this year and the local branch has a variety of activities planned for the Bay. Cynthia spoke about a specific project – a memorial forest, which Forest & Bird are seeking to establish in the Bay. She asked the board to help identify a suitable piece of public land on which to locate the forest, estimating that an area of around 1-2ha would be required.

In response to questions from the board, she explained that people would be welcome to plant individual native species in memory of their loved ones or a special event, but it would not be a burial site, natural or otherwise.

Chair’s Report Progress on, and actions relating to numerous issues raised at previous GBCB meetings or directly with the board members, were reviewed, including: Herbicide use: Golden Bay RSA had asked TDC for permission to use non-organic herbicides at Memorial Park, in order to control Onehunga weed. A lengthy discussion about the nature of the proposed herbicide, and whether the control would target the weed only or would involve spraying off and reseeding the entire lawn, saw TDC’s Lynne Hall join the meeting to outline the two options. “We can blitz the whole thing and start again, or target Onehunga weed and re-seed patches.”

It was agreed that the use of non-organic herbicides would be allowed, and Lynne would discuss the options for Memorial Park with RSA president Noel Baigent.

Bike stands: Following a request for the installation of bike stands at beach reserves in eastern Golden Bay, seven stands will be distributed at locations selected by TDC staff.

Melia tree on the Village Green: Lynne explained that a decision on the replacement tree was still to be made.

Collingwood disabled parking and temporary speed limit: The parking/painted footpath markings have been fixed. The disabled park has also been installed.

Rubbish collection over holidays: Grant said the rubbish bins in Tākaka were “looking a lot better” this year, but board members noted that bach owners at Tata were using the litter bins to deposit domestic refuse, and something similar was happening at the Tākaka Visitor Centre.

Horses at Pūponga: A Pūponga resident has complained to TDC about Cape Farewell Horse Treks riding across the beach at the reserve, endangering recreational users. TDC environmental assurance group manager Kim Drummond explained that council has no specific rules controlling horses on beaches, and the Department of Conservation (DOC) concession under which the business operates, applies to conservation estate land only.

Abbie agreed to speak to the parties concerned and report back to the board.

Communications workshop: A recent workshop has resulted in a communications plan for the board which includes the use of print media, Facebook, and local radio.

Discretionary Fund applications A request from the Community Arts and Circus Trust NZ for $1,000 to help fund a fire choreography and performance project was declined, on the basis that a significant proportion of the funding was allocated to employment and was too similar to previous applications.

Golden Bay Riding for the Disabled’s application for $665 to fund a First Aid course for its volunteers was granted.

Abbie said the board should consider holding a workshop to review the criteria for discretionary funding as it was “public money”.

Request for approval of new street name What was, on the face of it, a straightforward issue, quickly became rather complicated and produced a 30-minute discussion – the longest of the meeting.

It began with Kim’s mea culpa. He explained that he had approved an application to name a new road at Pūponga, thus circumventing TDC’s street naming policy, which delegates the authority to GBCB. He was therefore asking the board to retrospectively approve the name, Bifrost Rise, and tidy up the paperwork. “I gave endorsement to a new name and forgot to get iwi endorsement… so I apologise.”

Although the owner of the subdivision had followed the correct procedure, paid the required fees, and had been informed of the approval by TDC, the board were unhappy about the lack of consultation with Manawhenua ki Mohua. Kim pointed out that Motueka-based iwi were notified in December.

“We asked iwi for a comment, but they didn’t get back to us.”

As the discussion continued, it became clear that no-one at the meeting was sure about the status of the road, but it was most likely to be a public right of way on private land, in which case the owners could name it as they wished with no requirement to seek approval from council.

The discussion ended with the board declining to grant its approval “at this stage” but would seek further clarification from TDC staff about the status of the road, specifically whether it is regarded as a right of way.

Action Sheet Following a review of the Action Sheet, the board moved into a confidential session from which the public – and the media – were excluded.

The next GBCB meeting is at TDC Service Centre Tākaka on Monday 13 March at 1pm.

LE T TERS Holding to account

I acknowledge that I am very critical of how the residents and ratepayers of the Golden Bay Ward have been served by our current elected councillors. My criticising emails to them both are passed to staff of the LGOIMA to be vetted as to appropriateness of the subject. They are never answered.

We elect our councillors to serve the needs and wants of our small community. They are elected on the promises they make in their pre-election profiles. When they fail in doing what they promised in these profiles we have a right to hold them to account. I do feel that the prohibition of residents/ratepayers criticising elected members or staff at board meetings or online is a barrier to democratic accountability.

On reading the profiles of our current councillors published for the 2019 and 2022 elections, they have failed in their statements of serving us.

The failure to communicate with our residents/ratepayers and follow their statements of “looking like, sounding like, and answerable to its people“, has never happened.

The greatest conflict of all was voting against each other over a decision in 2019 to hold progress on the Waimea Dam until a revision on costings had been made (this was the Cr Greening motion). By voting against each other, it was a waste of power invested in them to represent the overwhelming vote of our ward and those over the hill to stop the dam.

I feel this one act by them is the reason today we have the dam heading to over $250 million and rising.

Tākaka athletes step up for the cup JO RICHARDS

Last Sunday, 13 young athletes from Tākaka Athletics Club travelled over the Hill to Saxton Field stadium for the inter-club Winstone Cup competition.

Club secretar y M aree Fleming summed up a day of mixed, but mostly good, fortunes for the Tākaka team.

“There were many highs and a few lows; as usual, it was a great day out.”

Among the highs were a new club record, some season’s bests, a couple of first-time competitors, and numerous podium finishes.

Eight-year-old Eli Miller and Ali Reynish(12) were competing at inter- club l e ve l fo r t h e f i r s t t i m e.

“Understandably, both were very nervous,” said Maree.

“But they bettered their season’s bests, Ali’s being quite significant, and were keen to compete again.”

The highlight of the day was 15-year-old Ella Baigent whose 8.69m shot put throw beat Geena Gross’s long-standing club record by a margin of 0.61m; it was definitely a good day for Ella who was placed 1st in discus and 2nd in shot put, with season’s best throws in both events. Her younger sister Paige also performed well with a 2nd place finish in the 100m but unfortunately pulled a calf muscle in the 400m, an injury which ruled her out from the

13-year-olds’ girls’ high jump.

Her teammate Ruby Darwen, however, stepped up and produced an impressive 1.40m jump, another season’s best, to take 1st place. Ruby’s success continued with 2nd place in the 200m and 3rd place in the long jump and 400m.

In the boy’s competition Cooper Strange won the 10-year-olds’ 100m and came 2nd in the high jump, while Blake McCleely achieved a season’s best in the long

jump and discus, and Warren Hitchcock was placed 3rd in the shot put. Hunter Austin bravely tackled the 1500m race, showing great determination by finishing the race he clearly wasn’t enjoying.

The 12-year-old boys had a very good day; Aiden Best lived up to his name coming 1st in the discus, 2nd with the shot put, 2nd in 200m, and 3rd in 100m, while his teammate Lucas McCleely achieved 1st

in 1500m and 3rd in the long jump.

The impressive individual performances were put down to effective team work.

“The athletes were inspired by three coaches watching and instructing them,” said Maree, adding that the young competitors get to do it all over again soon. “They will be competing over two days at the Tasman Championships in two weeks’ time.”

SUBMITTED

The long weekend of 4-6 February saw a three-day chopping carnival take place at Nelson Creek on the West Coast. It was a big event with 40 open class choppers taking part and it was tough enough just to make a final, let alone getting a placing.

The wood was radiata pine for the first half of the programme then gum for the second half, so every race was hard work.

There were four open class chops being competed for each day including two of the most prestigious open chops in New Zealand, the Bill Liddell Standing and the Darcey Seymour Underhand as well as a Coast Buller Underhand each day. The Golden Bay choppers team was made up by Brian Godsiff, Rachael Nalder, and Dave and Serena Gowland, ably supported by the cheerleading of Linde Kynast.

Brian chopped outstandingly well over the three days making nine of the 12 possible open finals, including the Bill Liddell Standing. There was only one other axeman who exceeded that amount of finals appearances over the course of the weekend. However, Brian could only convert one of those chances into a placing, finishing 3rd in the Coast Buller 300mm

Underhand on day two.

Brian’s consistently high standard of chopping was the polar opposite to Dave’s, who on day one was bursting with lethargy and failed to even threaten a finals appearance. On day two, however, he made the Coast Buller 300mm Underhand final, finishing in 2nd place. On day three Dave once again made the Coast Buller final, placing 4th, then he made the 325mm Standing final and finished 3rd.

The women’s competition consisted of two 300mm underhand races each day. Serena chopped brilliantly and her recent tough training regime paid off as she battled for first place against the impressive Emma Riddell from Nelson, in all six races managing to beat her twice, once on day one and again on day three, to finish with two wins and four 2nd placings.

Rachael seemed to be continually competing against her sister Lou for third place and it turned out to be a very even race with Rachael finishing with three 3rd and three 4th placings. This is quite remarkable as it’s the first event Rachael has competed in for about 18 months.

Superb waka ama conditions and spectacular scenery welcomed Golden Bay paddlers to Lake Rotoiti for the Tuna Te Hoe annual races organised by Matahi (Nelson Club) last Saturday.

Onetahua Waka Ama Club significantly fielded two men’s teams in the larger six-person waka. It is a testing race, starting with a sprint, 7.5km race followed quickly by 5km against a strong field.

In the OC2 (two-person) class Selwyn Farr, club president, and Rory Jelf took first place with a very strong performance.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2023

The Onetahua crew were joined by students from Golden Bay High School under the direction of Eric Lander, who has trained and motivated students Lyla, Maren, Zeb, Tristen and Archie to a point where they can compete. Tamariki waka is the fastest growing area in the sport and adds a great deal to these events. The support Golden Bay High School provides is appreciated.

Onetahua Waka Ama Club is looking forward to the Picton long distance race, winter series, as well as weekly social and training sessions. Waka ama is open to everyone, come join in if you feel it’s for you.

Deva Baanvinger Singh’s hip hop dance classes are growing in popularity and a boys-only troupe is soon to be formed. Photo: Submitted.

ANITA PETERS

Last year 15-year-old Deva Baanvinger Singh began teaching kids’, teenagers’, and adults’ hip hop classes from her High Voltage Hip Hop Company. Now, realising that boys might be more drawn towards a boys-only class, she aims to form Golden Bay’s first boys’ hip hop troupe.

“It’s such a fun thing, hip hop; it’s physically hard and it’s fast,” she says. “I’m hoping to encourage more boys to give it a go and step into it and try something new.”

Hip hop is one of the most popular and influential styles of dance, emerging from hip hop music that originated in the 1970s, popularised by dance crews in the United States.

Routines include specific styles such as “popping”, “locking”, and “breaking”.

Deva believes that while Golden Bay’s physical culture is focused more on sports, boys could really relate to hip hop.

She creates her routines based on “mash ups”: a set of different songs combined into one, that allows fast changes between different dance styles. Feedback from boys has inspired Deva to do more floorwork, including breakdancing in her boys’ routine. Other popular styles include “tutting” (shapes created

“I’m trying to teach them as many different things as possible in one routine.”

Daughter of local drama director Martine Baanvinger, Deva has been performing all her life. After many years of learning contemporary and classical dance, particularly with Dance Collective Mohua (d.c.m), she was introduced to hip hop and loved it. For the past two years she has attended classes with Dance Motueka and has now reached their highest level. She also hopes to join competitive hip hop groups in Nelson.

“I can now bring back what I’m learning with hip hop to Golden Bay.” Deva, who loves working with kids, is currently teaching around 17 in weekly classes at the Motupipi Hall. She has already performed several showcases to parents and has been invited by other dance companies such as d.c.m to participate in their shows.

“For some kids that’s a highlight, being able to learn the dance and then show it to people on a stage.”

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2023

Get set for the Battle for the Bay

Last year’s inaugural Battle for the Bay was a great success. Next weekend’s event promises to be bigger and better. File photo.

JO RICHARDS

Football clubs from across the region will converge on Tākaka next Saturday for the second annual Wholemeal Café Battle for the Bay tournament.

The day-long footie festival promises to be serious fun for both players and spectators.

The serious bit is about the raising of funds and awareness by the football family and the wider community, who have come together to support the Hope Is My Homeboy suicide prevention campaign.

Its message to “check on your homies” is a reminder of the importance to look out for one another – something that Battle for the Bay organiser and GBAFC president Phil Smith says is key to tackling mental health issues. “Everyone knows someone affected by suicide. Let’s raise the awareness that it’s OK not to be OK. Go and check on your brother, sister, aunt, and mate.”

That serious message, along with generating the means to make a difference, is the focus of Saturday’s fun tournament, which features several mixed-gender teams. The first match kicks off at 9.30am and the action continues throughout the day, as teams vie for top honours and individuals strive for the

Takaka

Golden Boot and Golden Glove awards.

Winners won’t be limited to the players on the pitch; anyone can enter the lunchtime “Crossbar Challenge” and/or buy a $10 raffle ticket for draw prizes that include a chainsaw, a welding kit, and a state-of-the-art chilly bag, plus heaps of vouchers and other goodies. All prizes, as well as cash contributions to the cause, have been donated, explains Phil. “It’s been really awesome how all the businesses in the Bay have been so generous.”

Phil is hoping the biggest winners of the day will be those “homies” who will receive support, care, and hope in time of greatest need. “It doesn’t really matter how much money we raise; the biggest message is that we need to remove the stigma from mental health and look after each other.”

Raffle tickets can be purchased at various locations, including NBS Tākaka, First National Golden Bay, Hammer Hardware, Collingwood Tavern, and Collingwood On the Spot, or via email at president.gbafc@gmail.com.

The Wholemeal Café Battle for the Bay kicks off at 9.30am on Saturday 25 February at the Rec Park Centre Tākaka.

POLICE REPORT

Kia ora e te whānau • A tough week at the office and I see our frontline responders in the North Island are also putting in the hard yards. Our thoughts are with our FENZ colleagues as they continue the search for their missing colleague.

• 6 February: Two local males were warned for fighting after an altercation in Edinburgh Street.

• 8 February: A local driver was issued a $150 infringement notice for dangerous overtaking following a crash on Abel Tasman Drive. Thankfully nobody was injured.

• All drivers need to be very mindful of the farm machinery (tractors and trucks) using our roads during the summer months. These vehicles travel slower than most and often turn into paddocks, not roads or driveways, so it’s important to take extreme care when overtaking them. The drivers of these vehicles report having many near misses and feel this year is particularly bad for the speed of other road users and their impatience.

Please take care out there and moderate your driving accordingly. It is only a matter of time before we have a very serious crash on our hands. Police are encouraging commercial operators to install CCTV cameras on their vehicles so that we can take enforcement action to rectify dangerous driving.

• 8 February: Two local males were trespassed from an address near Milnthorpe in relation to a civil dispute that was recently ruled upon by the High Court.

• 11 February: A 37-year-old local male was charged with careless driving, driving outside his restrictions and driving with excess breath alcohol following a crash on Tākaka-Collingwood Highway.

• School is back – lots more pedestrians and traffic moving around. Keep your speeds down please.

When the ecosanctuary at Cape Farewell swung open its steel gate to the public last Sunday morning, around 75 people passed through.

The heavy gate provides the only access to HealthPost Nature Trust’s (HPNT) fenced sanctuary which was created to eliminate pests, facilitate coastal ecosystem restoration and reestablish viable breeding populations of endangered seabirds.

Last month a consignment of 56 pakahā (fluttering shearwater) chicks was brought to the sanctuary where they were placed in specially constructed burrows to allow them to safely fledge. But before they fly off to sea for what could be several years, the birds must be hand fed for up to six weeks.

On Sunday, members of the public watched project volunteers including Raelene Mason, Meret Weiss and Tiana Olney bring a steady stream of young birds from their burrows in the inner sanctuary to the feeding hut for their daily meal.

On one of several trips to the hut, Collingwood year 13 student Tiana carefully lifted Kiara out of her carrier box and held it while Patsy Garrett filled a syringe with a light brown liquid which she then fed through a narrow flexible tube into

3½ ton digger available for dry hire

the bird’s mouth. “It’s anchovy and sardine smoothie, with seabird vitamins and fish oil,” explained Patsy. “We give them between 10 and 70ml depending on weight and wing.”

Inside the hut a whiteboard marked the progress of the chicks from fledglings to frequent flyers. The wings added to the individual bird symbols showed that, so far, of the 56 arrivals there had been 20 departures.

The sanctuary is not all about birds – the long-term aim is to re-establish a wide range native flora and fauna. On one of the footpaths that criss-cross the sanctuary project volunteer and media contact Nate Wilbourne was speaking to HPNT chair Peter Butler and trustee Chris Wheatley about having recently observed a couple of green geckos – evidence that the ecosystem within the protected area recovering. “That’s a good sign,” said Peter.

Speaking on Tuesday, project manager Marian Milne provided an update on pakahā departures. “Birds are taking flight in steady numbers daily now with 4-5 leaving each day at the moment. Just 30 birds on site this morning to be fed. Which is just how it should be. They are leaving in perfect condition nicely full feathered and good weights.”

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.

Ray O’Leary at the Mussel Inn

Golden Bay poet Emma Callaghan kicks off the 2023 season of Acid on the Microphone at the Mussel Inn this month. Hosted by Golden Bay Live Poets Society, Acid on the Microphone can lay claim to be the longest running open mic night in the Bay, running now for 28 years or so.

And guest poet for the night, Emma Callaghan, will certainly bring some sass and power to the microphone with her words and performance.

Emma won the Golden Bay/Nelson regional Poetry Slam competition last year and represented the region in the NZ National Poetry Slam in Auckland in November and what an impact she made.

Emma made it through to the second round and on the way won the “Spirit of the Slam” Award. “ You will find Emma’s range of styles and subject matter inspiring and challenging. So gather your friends for an excellent night out at the Mussel Inn, we’d love to see you there,” says spokesman Mark Raffills.

Mussel Inn, Thursday 23 February, 7.30pm. $5 on the door.

Ray O’Leary is serious about jokes. If his trademark suit and tie don’t tell you he means funny business, his critical acclaim and audience responses sure do. His sharp writing and signature delivery have had crowds across Aotearoa doubled over with laughter, whilst he barely moves a muscle. A regular comedian on Have You Been Paying Attention? and 7 Days, Ray also appeared in a 2021 episode of Bill Bailey’s Patriot Brains which made a comeback with new host Sue Perkins in 2022. He can be seen in the TV series Raised by Refugees, Golden Boy, and brand-new sketch show for kids My Favourite Dead Person for which he is also a writer.

On the road with a back-to-back schedule, the February – March tour is a massive independent undertaking; determined to bring laughs to Golden Bay, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hawke’s Bay, Rotorua, Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmerston North, and Ray’s hometown of Whanganui.

Expect an hour of all-new, completely original jokes about things you never thought could be funny.

Mussel Inn, Wednesday 1 March.

No, it’s not beach front but it’s possibly better….set on a generous 1414m2 section across the road from the reserve means the sea is close but also far enough away for peace of mind.

Upstairs has the large open plan kitchen, dining, lounge area and front deck, AND then there is the view, plus two bedrooms & a bathroom………. Call me for more info.
