Riding the road for mental health

Community Board JO RICHARDS

Cousins Jo-Anna and Sandy McKay are cycling the South Island to raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation and Golden Bay’s Te Whare Mahana. Motivated by their own personal journeys of loss and the ensuing challenges to maintain mental health, they have instigated a Give A Little page (see details at end of article). The bike tour idea came about when JoAnna was inspired by a friend undertaking the Te Awaroa trail. Jo-Anna decided to do a tour of the South Island and fundraise for mental health. Having lost her son Jack to suicide in 2018, she finds it healing to mark special occasions in a meaningful way. Hence the day she leaves from Farewell Spit, 6 March, is Jack’s birthday. She asked Sandy, who is a Coast-to-Coast achiever, to join her. She has also suffered the loss of a child, to cot death. Sandy attends Bay Fitness in Rockville, run by her daughter, Renee Riley. Jo-Anna particularly enjoys the

water aerobics run by Bay Fitness, and says the classes have really helped their fitness levels. They agree there are two factors important in “keeping on top of things”. One is exercise, the other is supportive people. Jo-Anna has always been into tramping, “My spirit is most free in the bush,” she said. She walks the beach with her husband and their dog, enjoys swimming and riding her e-bike. The plan is to set off each day at first light, to avoid the most trying factor – the wind. Their route will take them through the Buller, to the West Coast, to Wanaka, then Queenstown. From there the intention is to reach Bluff on 15 March where, as Jo-Anna said, “We need to turn and burn.” She has to return to her job at Golden Bay Community Health and Sandy to her supervisor’s position at Kakariki Kids Early Childhood Centre. Their first day will be the longest. From Farewell Spit to Murchison is 228 kilometres. Jo-Anna will bike from Farewell Spit to Takaka, with family and friends doing legs in between,

and Sandy will start her leg at Kohatu. Supporters include Jo-Anna’s son Sam, who will be joining them at intervals throughout the journey. They have the use of a campervan, kindly sponsored by Roxanne, Sandy’s sister, who will also join a segment of the tour. Special mention goes to Ross Keeley, of Rev Bikes, Richmond, who has generously donated a 70s vintage-style e-bike valued at $4000, for which raffle tickets are being sold. Local Golden Bay businesses have also been supportive. “Mental health touches everyone,” said Jo-Anna, “and everyone has been hugely supportive and generous.” To make a donation, go to: givealittle.co.nz/cause/two-mothers-bikingthe-south-island. For 24/7 on-call emergency response and support for mental health issues, contact Te Whare Mahana, Community Mental Health Service on 525 7647.

Golden Bay Community Board’s first meeting of the new year began where the final meeting of the old one had left off – talking about freedom camping. Other topics raised in public forum included dogs on Tata Beach, civil defence, affordable housing, the Rec Centre playground and making the pavements of Takaka motability scooter friendly. Presentations were made by about a new cycleway between Takaka and Paines Ford, and on the importance of emergency planning. Jill Pearson opened contributions to public forum by pointing out that under the Freedom Camping Act, it was entirely legal to prohibit the activity in Golden Bay. “Council don’t have to provide anything at all…We are not morally obliged to offer free camping.” She proposed that, failing a total ban, a “single paddock” with minimal facilities and located away from all water bodies could be provided. She recognised that taking a hard line with freedom campers would initially increase compliance costs but said it would be worth the effort “to enhance the quality of life” in the Bay. She closed with a request. “I ask the community board to use its influence to prohibit freedom camping in Golden Bay.” Cynthia McConville spoke on behalf of Ron Eckman. Referring to photographs showing litter and toilet waste at the Waitapu Bridge site, Cynthia said the photos spoke for themselves. “Freedom camping is out of control.” And she called on council to take urgent action. “Close the Waitapu site immediately.” Cynthia delivered a similar message on behalf of Forest and Bird. Showing the meeting various items of litter which she had recently retrieved from the Waitapu Bridge site, Cynthia explained that in the event of a flood, all the discarded refuse would be washed into the river and marine environment. She said she had collected a similar haul of garbage from the Taupata Stream site and urged council to re-think their approach to site designation. “This is a strong message to TDC that freedom camping sites should be well away from rivers, streams and the coast.” Later in the meeting, board member Dave Gowland kicked off a lengthy discussion with his proposal to completely prohibit freedom camping in the Bay. “There are too many freedom campers. I don’t see an alternative other than a ban. We should be strong; we want a total ban.” Continued on page 3

New licensee for Ear Health clinic RONNIE SHORT

Lesley Pawley is the new licensee for Ear Health Takaka, which is open on Fridays at Golden Bay’s Community Health Centre. She and her family moved to Golden Bay in 2010 and Lesley has worked at GBHC as a registered nurse since. In August 2019, she took over from the previous Ear Health licensee, Debbie Dalzell, who travelled from Blenheim fortnightly. There are 16 licensees operating throughout New Zealand. Lesley’s is the smallest territory in the country, but she still finds herself busy. Most of her work involves the removal of wax from the ear canal, but education is key to her work. For example, reminding people that cotton buds can pack the wax against the wall of the ear canal, even as far down as the ear drum, and can cause hearing difficulties or a dull ache down into the jaw. She also teaches what can be done to prevent earache during flights, and suggests exercises for helping with Eustachian tube dysfunction. Referrals come to her via GPs and audiologists. Some audiologists prefer their clients to have an ear canal cleanse before a hearing test. Lesley also accepts self-referrals. There is a lot on offer regarding ear health in Golden Bay. A first step is a free service called Life Unlimited, who offer free assessments from the Heartlands office on a regular basis. Bay Audiology is another service that comes to the Healing Centre in Motupipi Street to conduct hearing tests. A hearing-aid cleaning service also visits, for which people can phone Sharon at the health centre to find out dates and costs. Through her work at GBHC, Lesley already knows many of her new ear health clients and is enjoying her new role. “It’s a very satisfying job because I’m increasing people’s quality of life,” she explained. “People come in feeling quite debilitated not being able to hear properly, and leave being able to hear the birds sing.” The Ear Health contact phone number no longer goes through to a call centre. Lesley answers the phone herself or calls people back if she is busy. Phone 525 8327 or book online: www.earhealth.co.nz

Community Board continued Continued from page 1 Fellow board member Averill Grant supported Dave’s proposal referring to the “sheer overwhelming numbers” of freedom campers and what she believed was poor compliance and enforcement. “We are paying ambassadors but they are not issuing tickets.” Councillor Celia Butler called for an emergency closure of the Waitapu Bridge site. “We are in a crisis at the moment with freedom camping in the Bay.” She explained that the impacts of the activity weren’t limited to the environmental damage but also had serious social dimension through effects on the local community plus the drug and alcohol-fuelled aggressive behaviour of some campers. Councillor Chris Hill stressed the need for speed in addressing the issue. “The review of the [freedom camping] Bylaw should be brought forward.” Dave formally proposed his motion “That the Golden Bay Community Board recommends to council that freedom camping is banned in Golden Bay”. It was defeated, but an amended version which added “...in all areas except for the Motupipi Street carpark”, was carried. The discussion continued with board member Grant Knowles also proposing that the Waitapu site was closed as soon as possible which he said could be best achieved with an urgent review of the Bylaw. After several additional contributions, the following motion was proposed: “That the Golden Bay Community Board strongly urges that the Freedom Camping Bylaw review is brought forward to address negative social and environmental impacts on Golden Bay. The recommendation comes from strong community concerns.” The motion was carried unanimously. Returning to public forum, Ann Lewis made a plea for Takaka’s pavements to be made safe and easily navigable for motability scooters, especially at corners. “A mobility scooter needs to cross at right-angles.” She highlighted good and bad examples. “Lake Crescent is ideal; Hiawatha Lane at motel corner is appalling…” Ann’s concerns were acknowledged with a commitment to raise a service request to the council’s engineers. Lisa Savage has long been campaigning to make Tata Beach more dog friendly. Referring to an amendment made to the 2004 Bylaw, Lisa pointed out that no reasons were given for the resulting prohibition of dogs from the beach for six months of the year. She proposed a further amendment to the Bylaw which would include a prohibition on dogs on the beach only between 5-9am and possibly a ban during January. Sara Chapman distributed the latest Fire and Emergency New Zealand brochures and said that the fire danger rating in Golden Bay was currently extreme. “The greatest risk is scrub – manuka, kanuka, gorse. There is a total fire ban - the signs were installed at the beginning of February.” Sara displayed an information sheet about managing fire risks which had been distributed to local businesses around seven years ago. She proposed that the community board provided an update, which community board chair Abbie Langford agreed to complete before bringing to the next meeting for feedback. Sara moved on to make a separate statement about the Rec Centre playground, which, she explained, had secured all the necessary funding and should be completed “before Easter”.

There was more good news, this time concerning the prospect of affordable housing in Takaka township. Architect and social entrepreneur Simone Kidner informed the meeting that Tiny Lifestyle had offered to purchase 14.5 hectares of residential-zoned land located at the corner of Meihana Street and Rototai Road and would be looking to develop a healthy community of affordable and eco-friendly homes. Continuing with the positive revelations, WSP engineer Peter Kortegast revealed that his company was in the preliminary stages of designing a cycleway, on behalf of NZTA, that would run from Takaka to Paines Ford. “We want a path sealed all the way to the medical centre [GBCH].” NZTA are seeking feedback on the project, which is estimated to cost around $600,000. Joe Kennedy, Manager Nelson Tasman Emergency Management, along with colleague Kathy Solly, provided an update on Golden Bay Civil Defence. Joe said his team operated from a hub in Richmond but met with local controller Sara Chapman at least twice a year. He stressed the importance of building a community framework which focussed on meaningful engagement and enabled local communities to create their own action plans. “We support community planning so they can build resilience themselves – for the community by the community.” One of the key challenges, Joe said, was to ensure that communities maintained a consistent level of interest in preparing for a range of emergencies. One of those emergencies is referred to as “AF8” – a scenario of the impacts of a magnitude 8 earthquake caused by a rupture in the Alpine Fault. “It’s a worst case scenario,” said Joe, who explained that a series of meetings on the subject were scheduled for Golden Bay in early May. “They will be advertised shortly.” Following some discussion about the Bay’s preparedness, Joe said shortage of personnel was a problem that needed to be addressed. “Without Sara we have a bit of a gap, so we need to find additional local controllers; the more the merrier.” Amongst the other subjects discussed, Grant Knowles raised the issue of security provision and charging points for the growing number of electric bikes, and Dave Gowland drew attention to the hazards of an old landfill at Port Puponga which TDC environment and planning manager Dennis Bush-King said was currently being assessed. The next Golden Bay Community Board meeting starts at 9.30am on Tuesday 10 March at Collingwood Fire Station.

POLICE REPORT

Local Board likely to be scuppered by council

SUBMITTED BY TAKAKA POLICE

5 February: Police executed a search warrant at a local address and arrested an 18-year-old local male. He was charged with two counts of burglary and cannabis offences. 6 February: A 34-year-old visitor was arrested at Waitapu Bridge freedom camping area for being heavily intoxicated. He was held in custody overnight in Nelson to sober up. 8 February: A 17-year-old local male was issued a number of fines relating to driving outside the conditions of his licence following a minor vehicle crash on a one-way bridge. 9 February: A 20-year-old local male was issued a pre-charge warning by police for threatening behaviour following an incident in Motupipi Street the day before. 9 February: A burglary to a property in Ligar Bay was reported; the stolen goods have since been returned and Police are in the process of warning the young boys responsible with the assistance of their parents. 6-10 February: A car parked at Boulder Lake carpark was broken into and a fishing rod and other items stolen. An attempt to steal fuel had also been made. Not a nice return from a tramp in the mountains. 9-12 February: A farmer’s fuel tank in Rockville has had fuel stolen three times over this period in the middle of the night. Police are following up on some leads. It seems we may have an active burglar in the area. Expect to see us patrolling more regularly out that way. Please take steps to safeguard your property and report anything suspicious. Descriptions, car registrations or even photos/videos of what you see is always really helpful. 10 February: A 28-year-old tourist was warned for careless driving when she failed to successfully navigate Eureka Bend and ploughed into the side of the hill. Inexperience and speed was a factor. 10 February: Police came to the rescue of a local female who had crashed off the side of Rameka Creek Road quite spectacularly. She was issued a formal warning for careless driving. 11 February: Two school students were issued infringement notices for cycling without a helmet. They will get off the fines if they provide proof of purchase of a new helmet. Parents, please ensure your children are wearing safety helmets when cycling anywhere. A big thank you to the member of the public who dropped us off a rechargeable fan for our patrol vehicle that I reported on a couple of weeks ago. Very cool!

The announcement from the Local Government Commission (LGC) regarding the “process for investigating Golden Bay local board application” is disturbing. It states that the commission’s decision will follow “consultation with Tasman District Council and local iwi.” Whilst I have no idea how the nine local iwi will respond, it has already been made very clear that the TDC will fight tooth and nail to prevent Golden Bay from having a local board. The LGC acknowledges that it has no control over how much TDC will charge Golden Bay for a local board. Well let me guess, the TDC will ensure that a local board will be made to look prohibitively expensive. A Golden Bay local board would provide us with an opportunity for greater autonomy and more control over our long-term destiny. It would, to my mind, be a step in the right direction for our unique rural community. If managed correctly, a local board could be a cost saving as all non-regulatory and some regulatory issues could be decided by locals, for locals. The expense should be covered by resultant cost savings in Richmond, as their work burden will be reduced. However, it will be TDC that determines the price tag. This is a joke. Let us bear in mind that the TDC refuses to even tell us where they spend our money, we are only provided with a schedule of what types of activities they spend our money on. This is a sad form of democracy. Bruce Collings

From one concerned citizen to another

Antony Dillon, (GBW 7/2) you will be pleased to know that materials for the signs you saw at Rangihaeata were supplied by DOC. These temporary signs were replaced by DOC as soon as new signage was delivered to their Takaka office. Thank you, DOC. Antony is clearly a concerned citizen in matters relating to the environment and he asks good questions. He will be delighted to hear that we have an ongoing project on our property establishing native plants and trees to provide increased habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. Our grounds are already home to skinks, a wide variety of insect life and many species of birds. Antony, you are more than welcome to contact me. There is a group discussing the formation of a community nursery with the objective of growing trees for habitat restoration. You may wish to become involved. Cynthia McConville

Power to the pen

What a heinous crime Cynthia, to ask that humans consider use of the environment carefully for other more vulnerable species than ourselves. I want to witness these birds for all time. All power to your felt-tip pen and plastic notices, Cynthia. I thank you. Heather Wallace

Double-checking at the checkout

How nice to hear Letitia Alach (GBW 7/2) is completely satisfied with her shopping at FreshChoice Takaka. I think the quality of goods excellent and the staff pleasant and helpful as well. Letitia, I didn’t read anywhere in Joe Sowerby’s letter that she was unhappy with these things. I understood her concerns to be around price ticketing discrepancies. I have also, like Joe Sowerby, found items on special to be a different price at checkout from the advertised prices. I have also made staff aware at the time and been refunded the difference. Mistakes happen, but they do need to be remedied promptly and this hasn’t always been the case. So it was good

Don’t roll-over for 5G roll-out

Concerns regarding 5G roll-out by central government this month, in multiple cities, are increased, as a leading narrative from local councils suggests a can-do-nothing attitude to halting 5G. Consumers are increasingly coerced into an overreliance on wireless electronic devices. Independent research, freed from corporate censorship, highlights negative health impacts upon humans and insects. Consequences include alterations in mood, cognitive function and loss of a sense of direction. In addition, installation of 5G requires extensive cutting of trees and the placement of antennae every 250 metres. There is not enough known about 5G, as a pervasive electronic presence. Historically, 5G has been used militarily, to control enemy combatants and refine surveillance. The corporate hope for a fourth industrial revolution utilising 5G provides no alternative. New Zealand’s central government denies contradictory evidence about 5G; elected representatives fail to acknowledge a growing body of research related to 5G’s negative health impact. Citizen concerns must therefore become louder. The 5G corporate plan calls for planetary saturation by satellite. Where does our love for things stop? When is enough enough? Concerned consumers must stop providing financial support to telecom industries advocating 5G; this same industry has redefined ear as a limb, so as to minimise the truth about held-close-to-body electronics. Further dialogue has been mocked; our central government is failing to protect citizens from the questionable technologies of 5G. Has New Zealand become a pilot study, a test case? https://ehtrust.org/scientists-and-doctors-demandmoratorium-on-5g-warning-of-health-effects/ Sunshine Appleby, RN

Cycleway not suitable for all

Thanks for the new Pohara-Takaka cycleway. It will be very beneficial for the leisure rider, children and for bikes with biggish tyres. For the rest of us, not so much. For commuters, those on e-bikes or road bikes with thin tyres, it is unsafe to travel fast on the gravel so some of us will need to keep biking on the road. It is important to accept us as road users who have rights too and most locals really have it sussed. Keeping the legal 1.5m distance when passing can save cyclists’ lives. Tooting and yelling abuse at us because we don’t use the new lane is not helpful. Please be kind and tolerant, the road is not a war zone. We can do better I hope. Astrid Gluth

Words and pictures capture Golden Bay life

Over the last two week’s editions of our GB Weekly the writers were able to brilliantly encapsulate in words and pictures the wide-ranging events that constitute what we proudly call our home, Golden Bay. From the Titanic Cardboard Boat Race to an amazing man walking for mental health, to beach tangos, computer techies, and African drumming, to tattoo artists as well as sheep dog trials. Then onto the very important story about potentially having an independent local board, to an amazing fish competition, opening a new cycleway, a local filmmaker, and old thumpers to motocross jumpers. Well done to the talented and dedicated staff of The GB Weekly. Bruce Dooley

Visitor Centre hooks up to solar NEIL WILSON

The Golden Bay Visitor Centre has started reaping the benefit of its new photovoltaic (PV) panels. The 10 panels and their attached microinverters were installed and commissioned by locals Paul Stocker of Azimuth Renewables and Rainer Huebler of Huebler Electrical. The panels will have an immediate effect on the power bills at the information centre and the comfort of the people who use it. Golden Bay Promotion Association (GBPA) received a grant of $5000 from the Golden Bay Community Trust in its last round of community funding in October 2019. The cost of the project was about $8400, so the promotions group chipped in the rest of the money from its own funds. GBPA committee member Marg Braggins says that the panels are going to make a difference to the experience of visitors and staff members at the visitor centre. “Thanks to the grant from the Golden Bay Community Trust, we’ve been able to make this major improvement to the visitor centre….People are going to like the fact that we can run the heat pumps to keep the centre at a pleasant temperature all year round.” Paul Stocker says that the Visitor Centre is an ideal place for an array of PV panels. “They do their business during the hours of daylight, and the savings they make will be a great help. It’s great that the visitor centre is seen to be doing the sensible thing about energy.” Paul and Rainer have collaborated on about 70 grid- Paul Stocker and Rainer Huebler at the the final pre-commission connected PV systems in the Top of the South.

The meaning of transition is described as “a movement, development or evolution from one form, stage or style to another”. This is exactly what Erhard Wingels new experiential installation in Art Vault is all about. It begins with a set of colourful photographs of the everchanging reflective landscape of buildings in Chicago, a city famous for contemporary steel structures and glass facades. “I love architecture,” says Erhard. “This was my playground. In these pictures you will see the contrast between the industrial part of the city and the organic shapes that suddenly turn up in the glass.” Erhard took over 300 photographs in two hours, the images constantly changing through his own movement. He later transferred the photographic images onto a three-

Reader competition: Win a copy of Ice Breaker! An Epic Antarctic Adventure Ice Breaker! An Epic Antarctic Adventure is a new book by award winning children’s author Maria Gill, and illustrated by GB Weekly cartoonist, Alistair Hughes. It tells the true story of how the exceptional skills of New Zealander Captain Frank Worsley and the legendary leadership of Sir Ernest Shackleton saved the lives of the 1914 Antarctic expedition, when their ship became trapped and crushed in sea ice. Stranded with no hope of rescue, they must find a way to guide the crew across icebergs and through a wild and dangerous sea in a desperate fight for survival. Combining Maria’s extensive research and action-packed writing with Alistair’s stunning watercolour illustrations, this captivating hardback book brings the epic polar adventure to life. The GB Weekly has a copy to give away to the first person (aged 12 and under) who can correctly answer the following question:

dimensional set of hanging Perspex panels that not only reflect light and colour but also reflect and project shadows onto each other through transparency and overlay, constantly changing with the viewer’s movement. “So, you double the process and it becomes even more confusing and interesting,” he explains. With light beaming through the panels more images are projected outwards, encompassing the whole space: floor, walls, ceiling and everything within. “It’s a constantly changing thing. Every day is different - the light, the angle of the sun; so, every time you go and have a look, it’s different again.” Transition, an exhibition by Erhard Wingels is at Art Vault, Commercial Street, Takaka, from 10am-4pm every day until the end of February.

The camera follows, circles and sometimes leads Tom Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Will Schofield (George MacKay) through the trenches and across the battlefields of the Western Front, as they carry an urgent message that could save the lives of thousands of men. The absence of scene cuts is initially mildly distracting, but then quickly comes into its own as the story progressively ratchets the tension to almost unbearable degrees. The camera work and direction is so immersive that you might find yourself still on high alert when you leave the cinema, liable to dive for cover at a sudden noise. 1917 opens with Blake and Schofield receiving orders to carry a command across no-man’s land to another battalion, commanding the halt of their planned major advance. The strategically withdrawing German army has laid a fatal trap, and severed telephone lines so there is no other way to warn the oblivious British front line. Blake has been picked for his map-reading skills, and the fact that his brother is among those in imminent danger. Even getting out of their own trenches is difficult enough as the two must push against the tide of fellow soldiers, finally emerging in blind faith that the Germans really have pulled out. Reaching the abandoned German trenches is the true beginning of Blake and Schofield’s ordeal, as they discover that the enemy has left a surprise behind for them. 1917 is a unique cinema experience. There are familiar names in the cast, but their performances are not showcased — the continuous-shot technique means that no close-ups are lavished upon anyone, regardless the size of the actor’s dressing room. Our two leads are fresh-faced, relatively unknown actors, and this makes them far more easy to identify with. They embody all the virtues and flaws of boy soldiers who are already eroded by a lifetime’s worth of traumatic experiences. Their mission unfolds in entirely unexpected ways, because we aren’t given the luxury of a better vantage point than they have, or access to extra information via scenes they aren’t in. In some ways the normal language of cinema is subverted, and it is both refreshing and claustrophobic. The sudden detonation of a trip-wired bomb literally had me jump out of my seat in fright because I had been utterly absorbed by the same distractions as the main characters. The dialogue is sparse, although Blake’s propensity to chatter when nervous or try to lighten a situation with banter also seems very true to life. It’s also a relief to see that Mendes has not taken the expected route of electronically grading all the colour out of the film image, and hasn’t been afraid to show bursts of vividness amidst the muddy drabness. In one sequence, a night bombardment transforms a dark, ruined village into a flashing, strobing vision of a fiery hell. The final scenes carry extra emotional weight because you have been made to feel part of the entire journey. A terrifying last-minute dash to deliver the crucial orders is probably the single most heroic act I’ve seen on film — bringing a lump to the throat to even recall it. Sam Mendes also co-wrote the screenplay based on stories told to him by his grandfather, who was a messenger for the British on the Western Front. It is no surprise that 1917 has already been showered with award nominations. Time magazine describes it perfectly as “a propulsive, at times headlong journey that travels like a lit fuse.” The only disappointing thing about 1917 is the strong possibility that, as early as mid-February, I might have already seen the best film of the year.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Battery Town: charging ahead

Intercultural partnership celebrated

JO RICHARDS

Takaka is hosting a celebration of a special intercultural partnership next week. The free event, hosted by the Netherlands Embassy at the Village Theatre, marks the 10th anniversary of the gifting of the waka taua (war canoe) Te Hono ki Aotearoa (The Link to New Zealand) on permanent loan to the Dutch Ethnology Museum in Leiden. The waka taua was built by the late Sir Tā Hekenukumai “Hector” Busby who saw the exchange as part of a deeper cultural partnership, and the focus of the celebration is a screening of Jan Bieringa’s documentary about the project. Following the screening, Netherlands Ambassador to New Zealand Mira Woldberg will introduce a panel discussion on the theme: “10th anniversary of the Waka Te Hono ki Aotearoa, connecting people and navigating a future course”. Panellists include a Dutch waka rower, a representative of Toi Māori Aotearoa, plus representatives from Manawhenua ki Mohua and/or Onetahua Waka Ama group. The evening will conclude with complimentary drinks and nibbles. “Waka Te Hono Ki Aotearoa: connecting Dutch and Māori cultures” is at the Village Theatre, Takaka, on Tuesday 18 February, 5.45pm for a 6pm start. Tickets are free, but limited to two per person and registration is required, via Eventbrite, at: https:// w w w. e ve n t b r i te. co. n z / e / t a k a k a -w a k a - te - h o n o ki-aotearoa-connecting-dutch-and-maori-culturestickets-91557317401

Tinbum Triathlon coming soon

Auto electrician Steve Prince has returned to his greatgrandparents’ stomping ground, and says he loves Golden Bay. He learned his auto electrical skills the old way, though now he has become a specialist in eco-friendly technology and has also teamed up with a supplier of top-end batteries. “I’ve been 42 years in the motor trade, self-employed for 20 years, so I know a fair bit about batteries,” said Steve. “I started my apprenticeship in 1978 in Greymouth, and part of the training was pulling apart and repairing batteries – when you could repair them. You can’t now; they’re sealed. They used to be made with a hard black rubber case with pitch on top. You would melt the pitch out, drill the lead links off and pull each cell out to repair them, replace a dud cell or broken battery case. But those days are gone.” Serge Gavrilov, Nelson branch manager for Harbour City Batteries and Battery Town, which is the nationwide network of specialised auto electricians, says Steve is one of the most experienced auto electricians he’s ever met. “He’s definitely the ‘go-to’ person in Takaka and the wider

Golden Bay. Not only does he supply quality batteries but he also diagnoses and repairs starting and charging problems with the vehicle as well.” Serge supplies Steve with a wide range of batteries, from the long-lasting Endurant to German-made Original Equipment Varta batteries, used by Fonterra for their reliability in European trucks. He also supplies starter motors and alternators. He says he is 200 per cent behind Steve’s business and has offered to sponsor community fundraising initiatives to prove it. But most applicable to changing times, Steve sells ecofriendly batteries with “start/stop” technology where the engine cuts off to save fuel, as well as deep-cycle solar batteries for remote locations. He can also help with the changeover from old systems to new. He clearly enjoys his work, but in his free time, classic vehicles are Steve’s absolute passion. “I just replaced an Endurant battery in a white mustang owned by a local woman,” he grinned proudly. “It was 17 years old.” Steve Prince Auto Electrical Ltd.

Swimmers, runners and bike-riders inspired by the recent Coast-to-Coast race, can get a taste of multisports competition in Golden Bay’s own mini-triathlon. Next month’s Tinbum is the perfect opportunity for individuals and teams to try out triathlon, according to organising committee member Marian Milne. “It’s a funfilled community event for all.” The Tinbum course consists of three sectors; a 300m swim in chest-deep water, a 7km mountain bike ride and a 5km run. And, while individual entrants can swim, cycle and run the whole course, teams of friends, family and work colleagues can divvy up the race according to their particular strengths and preferences. Marian says the range of entry categories means age, gender and fitness level are no barrier in the competition for prizes. “We look forward to loads of entries, young and old.” Irrespective of who picks up the prizes on the day, the Bay’s young sportsmen and women are sure to come out winners, as funds raised by the event will go into the Mohua Community Chest for the benefit of local sporting youth. The race, now in its 15th year, relies on community support and Marian says, although sponsors have been very generous, a few more volunteers are required. “We still need help on the day for marshalls and timekeepers.” The 2020 Tinbum Triathlon is on Saturday 7 March. Registrations: 7.50-9am at Pohara Beach Top 10 Holiday Park. Race starts at 9.30am with prize-giving at 11.45am. Entry fees: Individual adult $20, junior $15, teams $45. To offer help, sponsorship and/or prizes, contact Debbie Jones on 027 751 1060. For more information, visit: www.goldenbaytinbum. blogspot.co.nz or Facebook: Golden Bay Tinbum Triathlon. 8

Thinking of hand-pressed American-style burger patties served with special sauces and pickles is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. Knowing that the chef finds perfecting American-style low-and-slow barbecue in her spare time “therapeutic” is just asking for a stampede. Business has been booming since Strayburger moved from The Green to their new permanent premises at the Telegraph Hotel last November. Owners Alarna Hill and Gerard Hanley said the Christmas period was “absolute madness”, with heaps of tourists and families queuing for burgers, shakes, and nostalgic soft serves made with real cream. “Moving into the Telegraph gave us the opportunity to do more than just burgers. It just seemed the perfect fit and a great opportunity to expand our menu. We love working alongside Ben Osmond and Jean Bruning and we’re excited for the future with them - moving forward and building what we’re doing here together,” said Alarna. The restaurant now offers a full dining menu and pub meals with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Outside work,

Shelley Grell.

American barbecue food is a huge hobby for Alarna and Gerry, and they hope to incorporate more of this style to their menu. “We’re also looking at bottling our Stray sauce because people really love it and always ask us what it is,” she said. Alarna was born in Golden Bay and has family here, so when she became pregnant with their second child, they knew Golden Bay would be the best place to raise their kids. “We were operating in Christchurch before we moved. We were both working full time and decided, in March 2018, to do pop-ups in our caravan in Lyttelton, and at craft breweries and events. “Everyone thought we were crazy to set up a burger joint as the market was saturated. But we wanted to do something different to what everyone else was doing and the only ones offering American-style burgers were the fast food giants. “We came up with the name Strayburger as one of the definitions of stray is to deviate from the main group.” “One thing we liked in the caravan was having the same face serving our regular customers. We really appreciate our staff and we’d love to employ more locals year-round. It’s worked out really well, and we’re happy that we’ve been so welcomed by the community,” said Alarna.
