Bay’s toughest choppers battle it out

Upgrade for Work and Income

Submitted

The Ministry of Social Development's Work and Income Service Centre at 65B Commercial Street, Tākaka is getting an upgrade.

Improvements are being made to the facility in order to create a more welcoming feel, and enhanced privacy when meeting with staff.

To get things done as quickly as possible, the office will be closed temporarily for three weeks from 1pm on Friday 23 June, and reopening at 9.30am on Wednesday 19 July.

If you need help, you can still get in touch with us. Phone 0800 559 009 for Work and Income or 0800 552 002 for Senior Services, or visit my.msd.govt.nz

Dangerous photo exhibition

SUBMITTED

The newly renamed King's Birthday Challenge took place at the Telegraph Hotel on 5 June.

The challenge is a series of knockout races, with the winner progressing to the next round. The wood proved to be very firm for poplar, and favoured the bigger, more powerful axemen who could keep hitting hard throughout the race.

Golden Bay's Brian Godsiff and Canterbury's Pete McEwen fit this description, and dominated both the standing and underhand competition, facing off in the final of both disciplines.

The first final was the 250mm standing, which proved to be the closest race of the day, with the two axemen being separated by a fraction of a blow. Pete won this one, after eliminating Dave Gowland from Golden Bay and Mike Simpson from Ikamatua on the way to the final.

The second final was the 350mm underhand, a tough event that saw Brian gain revenge on Pete, beating him by a mere handful of blows. On the way to the final, Brian eliminated Willie Abel from Picton and Dave McEwen from Ngatimoti.

The women’s competition was decided by total points over three races. The women’s handicap system – introduced to the South Island a year ago – proved its worth, as all three races had close finishes. Ashleigh Radford, resplendent in her Golden Bay livery, proved too powerful and determined for the other women, taking an unassailable lead after winning the first two races. Emma Riddell won the third. The closest contest was in race two, when Emma Riddell from Nelson beat Serena Gowland from Golden Bay into second place by less than two blows.

An exhibition of photographs by Swiss exchange school student Dario Erny which is being hosted by Tākaka's Dangerous Kitchen Café, opens next week.

Dario's images depict nature from a novel perspective; using a drone, he has taken photographs of vibrant autumn trees, while travelling through the South Island. His images also explore patterns created by bridges and fields.

Dario says he has become very interested in drone photography and being able to take pictures of New Zealand has been a privilege.

Dario's photographs will be exhibited at the Dangerous Kitchen, Commercial Street, Tākaka for two weeks starting Monday 19 June.
