Greens Party co-leader
visits Golden Bay
It was fitting that the new co-leader of
the Green Party should arrive at Takaka’s
Village Market in Albie Burgers’ all-electric
car, “Little Blue,” rather than in one of the
big black German sedans favoured by other
parties’ senior figures.
Stepping out of the bright blue hatchback,
James Shaw was full of praise for the DIY
conversion.
“It’s a gorgeous, cute, wee vehicle. It’s very
smooth to drive.”
It’s a bit of a contrast to his previous ride in
an electric car - a next-generation Tesla Model
S priced north of $100,000. But James sees
a place for both the aspirational Tesla and
the No.8 wire conversion (actually copper
wire conversion) in the transition to a lowcarbon future.
As party spokesman for climate change
and economic development, he’s leading
the drive to make these cleaner options more
affordable by introducing targeted financial
incentives. And he believes New Zealand is
ideally placed to become early adopters of
this technology.
“There are only 400 electric cars in New
Zealand, but within 7 years, 20 per cent of
all cars could be electric.”
His plan for the transport sector is one
expression of his vision that “New Zealand
can lead the world in transitioning to a highvalue, clean-tech, post-carbon economy that
works for everyone”. James says that Golden
Bay, with its enviable lifestyle, is an attractive
place for professionals to set up and run their
high-tech, knowledge-based enterprises.
But he recognises that before the next Steve
Jobs starts living the dream in Takaka and
beyond, there must be improvements in
connectivity. “The UFB roll-out will take time
but when it is completed that could be quite
transformative.”
While championing new high-tech
industries, James also believes there’s a solid
future for the rural sector. “People need to eat
Green Party co-leader James Shaw is impressed with Albie Burgers' electric car. Photo: Jo Richards.
so there will always be a place for farming
and aquaculture.”
He singles out Golden Bay as a particularly
good place for a modern take on a traditional
industry. “I actually think that there’s an
opportunity here; there’s a strong organic
movement – you could brand Golden Bay
produce as the purest of the pure.” And, he
adds, that by employing the latest technology
it would be relatively straightforward to trace
the origin of a carton of milk, for example,
back to the udder that produced it. “People
could see it came from a Golden Bay cow.”
Despite his support and enthusiasm for
the primary food producers, James thinks that
some industries have simply had their day.
“It’s frustrating that the current government
are wedded to extractive industries and didn’t
see that the coal industry was dying.”
He says such changes could and should be
handled as “a just transition” and points out
that it will become increasingly necessary for
government to intervene compassionately.

Vandals shock Takaka Primary School whanau
Harsh lessons were learnt at Takaka
Primary School (TPS) this week.
On Monday night vandals broke a window
to get into the school’s hall, emptied the
freezers in the kitchen and spread a trail of
food waste over a wide area. The contents of
the freezer included the supplies the Takaka
Primary Home and School Association uses
to raise funds by catering lunches and selling
snacks on big school occasions.
The children at TPS have been focussing
their learning and behaviour on a set of
virtues - including respect, safety, honesty
and consideration - prominently displayed
in the school office. The particular virtue
being focussed on at the moment is pono/
honesty.
The children were quick to notice that the
actions of the overnight vandals showed no
understanding of the virtues at all.
“What they did wasn’t honest,” said
student Imogen Harris. “It wasn’t respectful
and it wasn’t safe either.”
TPS principal,
Jenny Bennett said
that the vandals’
actions had been
the catalyst for quite
a lot of learning on
Tuesday.
“The motto
associated with the
virtues is ‘I will own
it; I will fix it; I will
learn from it.’ The
break-in, destruction
and waste was a
terrible thing for
our school but the
whanau pitched in
and started to clean
up straight away. It
comes at a terrible
cost but we will
learn from this.”

About 60 bowlers took part in the Pohara Bowling Club’s
recent social triples, affectionately known as Skeet’s Bowls.
The competition ran over three consecutive Tuesdays and
the winning team overall was skipped by club president Bob
McTaggart, ably backed up on the final night by Pete Fogarty
and Bernard Caddick.
Club vice-president Selwyn Kotua presented the prizes
and congratulated everyone, especially the novices and

Greens Party co-leader
visits Golden Bay
Continued from page 1
“Climate change represents one of the greatest transitions
so it’s important to support people through the change.”
As he mingled with the stallholders, shoppers and party
members at the market, James was clearly enjoying his time
in the Bay.
“It’s my first visit here.” But it’s unlikely to be his last. “I
would love to bring my wife here for a holiday.” With only
around 36 hours before heading back to the Beehive, James
was making the most of his time and had identified his
priorities. “I want to have a peek at Onekaka Hall because
it’s been the polling station with the consistently highest
percentage of Green votes in the country.” He also planned
to nip along the road to one of the Bay’s iconic venues. “How
can I come to Golden Bay and not go to the Mussel Inn?”
In the early evening, James addressed around 40 people
gathered at the Community Centre in Takaka. Liz Thomas
was one of those present and said the speaker wasn’t only
preaching to the converted.
Liz explained that, after outlining his vision, James fielded
questions from the floor, allowing the audience to probe a
little deeper, and she says people liked what they saw. “They
think he’s all right.”
The new co-leader and his loyal supporter go way back,
she says. “In 1992, I was one of 12 candidates for Wellington
City Council, along with James, who was only 17 at the
time.
“I think he’s a breath of fresh air – and he’s no push-over
– he gets in there and does things.”
Liz believes that politicians frequently focus on urban
issues and forget the country’s heartland constituency, so she
is delighted that James made the effort to visit Golden Bay.
“It’s good that he came; it’s good for him to see the reality
of rural areas.”

Bay joins the global march
against climate change denial
Takaka Climate March organisers Willow Milligan (left) and Jim Barnes. Photo: Nina Hindmarsh.
On the eve of the most important global climate meeting
in history, hundreds of thousands of concerned activists
worldwide are joining a globally synchronized march to
demand that world leaders hear their voices once and for
all.
In New Zealand, people and organisations are banding
together to stage what is expected to be the largest climate
march in our history. In Takaka, the mobilisation will begin
on the Village Green at 1pm on Sunday 29 November,
and continue down Commercial St, through the new War
Memorial Park and back to the Village Green. Organisers
say the event will be an inspirational and positively charged
mix of local musicians, speakers and poetry.
Co-organiser Willow Milligan, an Environmental Studies
student originally from Parapara, says the People’s Climate
March intends to send a message to the globe’s most powerful
decision makers: to keep fossil fuels in the ground and make
a global transition toward 100 per cent renewable energy.
“This is a grass-roots movement,” says Willow. “I believe
that change comes from the down up rather than the top
down. If you realise that you can tap into that you can feel
empowered, and that you can actually make a difference in
your community.”
Co-organiser Jim Barnes, an English and drama teacher at
Golden Bay High School, feels that there is no more pertinent
time to act than right now, as we are faced by key global
issues such as climate change, the global refugee crises and
terrorism.
“What is happening in the world is a direct result of our
relationship to the earth, and we need to stand up and make
a commitment, not just to do whatever we can, but especially
to use our passions, interests, and gifts to communicate that.
And, of course, to let our leaders know we expect them to
hear what we have to say.”

is of concern for many, with a recent 3 News -Reid Research
poll showing that 34 per cent of New Zealanders are in favour
of the TPPA, and 52 per cent oppose it.
The full text has finally been made available to the public
through the MFAT website, including chapter 20 which
deals with the environment. Nowhere in this section (or
anywhere else in the document) are the words “climate
change” mentioned, causing some critics to call it “an act of
climate denial”.
Local artist and environmentalist Jo Campbell believes that
“Multilateral agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
become even more important in the face of the climate denial
within the TPPA.”
She goes on to say: “Getting out and showing our support
for significant global action on reducing greenhouse gas
emissions is a positive thing. It is a way of saying ‘yes’ to the
future we want for our children.
“This is the world’s largest trade agreement completely
ignoring the world’s largest threat, making it even harder for
countries to do the most important thing we can to combat
the climate crisis - keep fossil fuels in the ground. It makes
the upcoming climate meeting even more important.”
Labour and the Green Party want the Government to match
the EU emissions reduction target of at least 40 per cent of
1990 levels by 2030. Instead, National has aimed for 30 per
cent below 2005 levels by 2030, which is equivalent to 11
per cent of 1990 levels. This would mean New Zealand would
be committing to about a quarter of the emissions reductions
targeted by the EU.
Willow and Jim both agree that we are facing a crucial
turning point in history and that the People’s Climate March
will be a catalyst for transcending cultural borders.
“We’re not only marching for governments to act on
climate change, we’re also marching for world peace at a time
when people are so aware of terrorism, fear and division.”

TDC calls for
Government
involvement in sea
level rise conversation
The recent report from the Parliamentary Commissioner
for the Environment, Jan Wright, has raised what has been
until now a predominantly local issue to one of national
importance.
For several years every New Zealand council with a
coastline has been discussing what a future response to the
possible impacts of sea level rise could be. “There is no
doubt there is a need for a nationally consistent solution
to ensure everyone is treated fairly,” says Tasman Mayor
Richard Kempthorne.
“The Commissioner’s recommendation to establish
a working group. Waiting until the choices are limited
and the need is imminent will inevitably place a greater
level of burden on one group over another, whereas
with Government support there is a greater chance of a
consensus-driven strategy being developed.
“With the open and relatively soft structure of the
coastlines in Tasman, this will continue to be an issue for
us. With the risks facing people’s homes and community
infrastructure it is natural we want to protect those
investments but how, at what cost, who pays? These are
questions we need to discuss.
“Some people will say that if it is going to happen, sea
level rise will be a long time in the future. However, we
are making decisions and developing land today that will
endure for a long time.
“While the Council has done some planning locally,
I agree with the Parliamentary Commissioner for the
Environment in that the Government needs to be involved
in a wider conversation.
“The Government itself has taxpayer interests in
roads, schools, and national parks in areas exposed to
the potential impacts of sea level rise and cannot stand
aside.
“My colleagues and I in Tasman are seeking a national
conversation about this issue and it should take place
within months, not years. It is not going to be solved
overnight, but the sooner we sit down to identify
the possible solutions the sooner we can come to an
acceptable community response.”

Thinking of thummer and thinging a thong,
When thuddenly thticking onto the rubber
Was a glob of chutty - a fat blob of blubber.
The jandal got thtuck and the thong popped its bung.
Like a hot doggy’s tongue the unplugged thong hung.
The foot went on forward and kicked off the jandal;
The thong flailing wildly like a floppy forked handle.

I’m so glad that NBS isn’t responsible for the demise of our
recently departed shade tree. Being that the NBS has a history
with the area since the 1860s and is a community-minded
building society which invests within the area, and the tree
was in close vicinity to the building, maybe NBS would like
to replace the tree.
Not as an acknowledgement of guilt, which they are of
course not, but as a generous offer, knowing how much that
shade tree meant to the community and how important it is
to provide shelter for the mothers, children, and families who
frequent our lovely Village Green, because we know that
our harsh summer sun can cause skin damage to those little
children who might not have any sun protection.

Village Green noticeboard
As summer is here there will be many events that need
advertising on The Village Green Golden Bay Events
noticeboard. Please note that posters of a commercial nature,
advertising events a number of weeks in advance and events
outside of Golden Bay may be removed to make way for
Golden Bay community-orientated events. Please note that
Takaka is fortunate in having The Village Green noticeboard
as nowhere else in the Tasman district provides such a service.
Please respect it. Any queries regarding posters can be made
to the Golden Bay Community Workers ph 525 9728.
The Village Green Society
Calls for respect of wants and needs
When are we, the ratepayers, going to get open, transparent
dealings, and respect of wants and needs from our District
Council-elected representatives and staff? I keep reading in the
press issues of community wishes and needs being railroaded,
trampled on and ignored by the faceless district council.
This past week press reports such as “recycling sparks
congestion in Motueka”, their community board chair states,
“numerous complaints from road users and businesses in the
CBD about collection times“. Dismay at subdivision consent.
“ Friends of Mapua Wetland Society object to a consent for
a 91 subdivision.” The society believe the decision sets an
unfortunate precedent for consents in Mapua and other areas
of Tasman.
Another headline, “Boaties fight for ramp access“. The
Mapua Boat Club is left high and dry by a TDC decision to
close the wharf area to vehicles.
“Fence encircles part of a public reserve“, is another one.
The TDC and the Motor Caravan Association agreement has
come as a surprise to people in the Bay’s community. Board
member Paul Sangster says, “communication about the plans
could have been a bit better“.
“No public input on building“ is another headline. The
design of a divisive new beach building at Kaiteriteri was
not publicly notified. Public comments have been scathing.
Martin Rodd, Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve board member,
acknowledged the two story proposal was not publicly
notified, after the board sought resource consent.
With so many examples of the lack of representation,
or open transparent dealings from our current elected
representatives, we must look for new blood in our elections
next year.

Climate change movie this weekend
This Changes Everything - Village Theatre, 28 November
at 5pm. If climate change interests you, see this film.
Naomi Klein’s book/film, is this decade’s Silent Spring. Five
years of exhaustive research has arguably produced the most
comprehensive review to date on the social, environmental
and economics of climate change.
Left-leaning Klein pitts capitalism against climate, providing
well-supported arguments of why and how societies must
change if Earth is to remain habitable to mankind. And that
change needs to start now. As Obama said recently, “We are
the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the
last generation who can do something about it.”
See you there.
Alec Milne
TPPA and climate change
A number of interlinked and important events that affect all
of us are happening this coming weekend. For those who are
not aware of the link between the Trans-Pacific Partnership
and Climate Change the film This Changes Everything,
showing at the Village Theatre on Saturday.
Not only does the TPPA potentially offer numerous
financial disadvantages to average Kiwis, it is silent on
measures to minimise climate change. Indeed it seems to
make matters worse by potentially denying governments the
right to pursue environmental policies. To quote a lobbyist for
Chevron Oil Company: “We can’t let little countries screw
around with big companies like this – companies that have
made big investments around the world.” Furthermore, this
is just the tip of the melting iceberg that is the TPPA.
If you are concerned about these issues there will be
the chance to vote in a National Referendum on the TPPA
online at http://vote.tppa.nz/register_to_vote , or at the Village
Market on Saturday between 9.30am and 12.30pm. Whilst the
referendum may not be as binding as that on our flag it may
have more impact on our lives. You can also join the People’s
Climate March on Sunday at 1pm on the Village Green.

TDC’s interest rate swaps
On 16 November 2015 the New Zealand Local
Government Funding Agency (LGFA) listed its domestic bonds
on the NZX Debt market (NZDX), putting in place further
transparency for local government finances. LGFA chair Craig
Stobo said investors are attracted to the bonds.
These bonds are so appealing to investors in search of
guaranteed yield because they are backed by the rates we
pay and ultimately by everything that we, as rate-payers,
might possess.
If I have understood this announcement and my recent
correspondence correctly, the TDC, amongst other local
authorities, has been encouraged to purchase insurance
against interest rates going up. They have been sold this
insurance by the same bankers who have been driving interest
rates towards zero for several years.
According to the latest accounts the TDC has “outstanding

interest rate swap contracts” of $215.8 million, “of which
$130.7 million is live at balance date”.
If the TDC had not entered into these interest rate swap
contracts TDC ratepayers would have benefitted from falling
interest rates on our $145 million debt, saving us millions.
However, in the last financial year the revaluation of the
TDC’s interest rate swaps has cost us $8 million.
Within the word limit afforded by this paper, perhaps
someone from the TDC could explain if I have got this
right.
Bruce Collings
Response from Mike Drummond, TDC corporate services
manage: The Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA)
bonds have been available in the market for some time. The
LGFA bonds allow councils to borrow at much lower interest
rates and for longer terms than we could using bank finance.
The listing on the NZDX simply allows easier trading of the
bonds between investors and allows more investors access
to the bonds. An active market for the bonds ensures that the
LGFA can borrow at competitive interest rates, these savings
are passed on to councils.
All council borrowing (including borrowing from the
LGFA) is secured under a debenture trust deed. The security
under the deed is not council assets but council’s income
streams; in particular, rates income. Financially prudent rules
exist to ensure that councils do not over-commit themselves
no matter who they borrow from. These rules are set out in
council’s treasury policy. Council is well within the limits
set out in this policy.
Just like a household, council needs to manage its interestrate risk. We can’t take a fixed-rate mortgage. What we do
use is interest rate swaps to achieve the same outcome.
These convert our variable rate borrowing into a fixed rate.
For accounting purposes these are revalued each year. This
can result in large valuation movements. These valuation
movements do not cost ratepayers money as no cash changes
hands. The movements up and down are not funded in any
way. It is simply an accounting adjustment.
Ratepayers have benefited from the downward movements
in interest rates in recent years. Council’s debt is actively
managed to minimise interest costs while providing a level
certainty over interest charges.

Help needed for sand sculpture competition
The annual summer holiday sand-sculpture competition
at Pohara will not happen unless the Arts Council can find
a local organisation or family group who would be able to
organise and manage it on the day.
Due to other commitments no one from the Arts Council’s
small volunteer group is available to run it this year. If you or

Paynes Ford cycle and walkway
This lovely track had its spring clean last Saturday thanks
to a great team of volunteers who helped out. A good turnout
meant that the job was done quickly in a morning and now
has the track looking great for the summer.
We have also spent some of this winter extending the
track closer towards East Takaka. It is still an out-and-return
but now you can go a lot further. So if you haven’t been for
a while, or not at all, check it out.
It starts at Paynes Ford. Please remember though that once
you cross over the Oxbow Stream (boardwalk) it goes through
and alongside a working farm, so no dogs please.

Plea to party-goers
To the youths who partied on Ligar Bay reserve on
Saturday night, have you not heard “you take your rubbish
with you”?
I picked up cider bottles, beer bottles, a vodka shot bottle,
Up-n-Go cartons, a chip box and other nibble packets.
All were obviously thrown in bushes from where you
partied. You stayed overnight - a dark station wagon, a
greenish car and a cream-coloured car. You should have seen
the mess when you left around 8am on Sunday. The rubbish
bins are just down the road.
Barbara King
Whitebaiting
I fully agree with the sentiments and action of Mr and Mrs
Rhodes of Ferntown. The ban on set nets should apply to all
of Golden Bay. Come on DOC, you are in charge.
I would support the following rule change: Only hand-held
nets are allowed to be used and a couple of spotters. This
would hopefully ensure that future generations can still go
down the river and catch a feed of whitebait.

In Good Taste: Giving a toss
According to the Collins English Dictionary, the word salad
comes from the Latin “sal” or “salar”: to season with salt. It is
described basically as a “dish of raw vegetables”.
Salads have come a long way in the last 20 years, and
we can all rejoice in their progress. The abundance of raw
vegetables available requires only a good imagination and
an appreciation for colour and texture to create a delicious
meal. Not just a “bit on the side” any longer, a salad can now
be the star of the show and a meal in one.
Yotam Ottolenghi’s beautiful books show vegetables used
in interesting ways, and with a Middle Eastern influence. They
often feature yoghurt, tahini, fresh herbs and spicy cumin in
the dressing, or binding, of ingredients.
Donna Hay also continues to pump out books that are rich
with vibrancy, visual delight and sharp photography. She rings

In a time when small craft breweries spring up, sometimes
to be swallowed by multinationals, the Mussel Inn has held
its own for two decades, winning hearts and turning heads
along the way.
This 25 November marked 20 years since The Mussel’s
first brew, First Light Lager, made its way to the tap, just three
years after the bush café opened in rural Onekaka.
Its relaxed “take-us-as-we-come” vibe, along with a good
dollop of live music and wholesome food, has proved a
popular combination for locals and visitors looking to enjoy
a fine craft beer brewed on site with local ingredients and a
fair amount of love. In the Icons of Golden Bay survey (GBW
2006) The Mussel Inn was voted the top man-made landmark,
placing fourth overall behind only our golden-sand beaches,
Waikoropupu Springs and Farewell Spit.
The brewery’s success can be described as being a steady
journey upward to humble fame. Situated at the back of the
café, it has produced dozens of distinctive craft beers over
the past two decades, and pumps out 2000 litres of beer
per week on average. This is sold onsite and in hundreds of
outlets throughout the country.
Part of that success hinges on co-owners Jane and Andrew
Dixon’s unwavering commitment to ensuring as much of
their business stays as local possible – right down to the
composting toilets. An orchard behind the inn grows most
of the apples and feijoas needed for their popular ciders, the
Apple Roughy and the Freckled Frog. Their hops are grown
in Nelson and the malted barley in Canterbury. All other
fruit, vegetables and plants needed for the drinks are sourced
from New Zealand.
“We sell food - we make the food. We sell beer and cider we make the beer and cider,” explains Andrew. “Pretty simple
really. The more we can do ourselves, the less impact we have
on the environment and the more locals we can employ.”
Andrew has been brewing beer since he was a teenager,
and has early memories of the scent of homebrew wafting
from the family kitchen. He designs all the quirky beer labels,
which have evolved from hand-drawn versions from precomputer days to the Photoshop masterpieces of today.
The distinctive “animal theme” for each beer began with
their second-ever brew, the Dark Horse black beer. Jane
explains: “After First Light Lager people would ask us, ‘What’s
the next one going to be?’ And we would reply, “It’s a bit of
a dark horse, really!’”
Their flagship beer is the Captain Cooker – a distinctive,
aromatic, red-brown, all-malt beer flavoured with the freshly
picked tips of the manuka tree. It was inspired by the first beer
ever brewed in New Zealand – by Captain Cook in 1773.
The medicinal qualities of the manuka are well-known and

WAYNE SOLLY

prevented scurvy in Captain Cook’s crew. Food and Crop
Research testing has shown the brew as having significantly
higher levels of antioxidants than regular beer.
The manuka beer constitutes over 50 per cent of their beer
sales. The Captain Cooker was featured as the only one of 240
New Zealand beers to rate 10 out of 10 in Keith Stewart’s,
The Complete Guide to New Zealand Beer (2002) and has
featured in the book Best – A New Zealand Compendium.
Brewmaster Reuben Lee has been quietly brewing the
Mussel’s beer for 17 years. Jane describes him as “an angel
who dropped out of heaven at the perfect time,” just as the
brewing was becoming too much for Andrew to sustain alone.
Reuben, then a young man, stumbled onto their doorstep
fresh from working in Mac’s brewery in Nelson.
“It’s always been teamwork,” recalls Reuben. “Jane,
Andrew and I have all been coming up with good ideas
together, and I’ve also been given a lot of freedom to do
what I want.”
Over the years, Jane and Andrew have been approached
by a handful of beer fans hoping to distribute their Manuka
beer abroad. In 2005 they declined an offer to send the
Cooker to Belgium: “Shipping a product that is 95 per cent
water to the other side of the world,” Andrew explains, “in a
heavy glass bottle that probably came from the other side of
the world in the first place did not sit comfortably with our
environmental philosophies.”
They decided instead to travel there to oversee the
production of a Belgian-style Captain Cooker. Since then, Jane
and Andrew have collaborated with various other breweries
such as Squatter’s Brewery in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2008,
and Hawkshead Brewery in Stavernly, the Lakes District in
the United Kingdom, in the following year.
If there are two things that Jane and Andrew do well, it’s
consistency and staying authentic to the brand. It’s no surprise
then that they are content with how things are. “It’s about
looking after what we have got rather than expanding and
getting bigger,” explains Jane. “We like to keep it ‘Golden
Bay’. We’re happy enough to keep it rolling along.”
The Mussel Inn employs up to four people in the brewery,
half a dozen staff full time in the café, and up to 30 during
peak season. “The locals we employ are good breeders and
have successfully produced the next round of staff,” Andrew
jokes. “It’s a pleasant challenge for me to ensure that the
Mussel Inn can sustain their employment, for however many
generations they so desire.
“Of course, when Jane and I drift away things will change,
but if the essence is sound and the love is still there, there is
no reason why it won’t live on.”

Golden Bay Organic Community Gardens a public space
Martine Baanvinger is the new manager of Golden Bay
Organic Community Gardens and her vision is to turn the
name into reality.
The large block of land on the edge of Takaka township is
leased by Te Wharerangi Trust, and contains mass plantings of
edible crops. It is also set up to host outdoor functions, picnics
and parties and has a commercial kitchen (council-certified),
pizza oven, earth building and a hangi pit in development, so
Martine wants the community to see it for themselves.
The land on Waitapu Rd is sheltered by trees to filter fuel
emissions and this has resulted in the gardens being hidden
from public view. While the green boundary lends an air of
mystery, it has created an unwelcoming barrier.
Step inside and you discover a country park on the
doorstep. The gardens include a dedicated seed garden,
vegetable allotments, compost beds and permaculture, an
extensive orchard, birds, bees and a forest area of established
exotic trees (introduced by Dick Nicholls).
“We have an alcohol, drug, chemical and dog-free policy
here, so we are offering a natural and healthy place to spend
time with family and friends,” enthuses Martine. “For children
this is a magical garden that goes on forever.”
With such a large land area, the trust relies on WWOOFers
(WorldWide Opportunities On Organic Farms), willing
workers who volunteer labour in exchange for food and
board. The trust’s next goal is to provide a communal kitchen
and create a tent campsite for these welcome visitors.
Through collaboration with other Golden Bay groups,
the trust has forged links with Community Workers, the
Work Centre Trust and Te Whare Mahana, as well as the
neighbouring high school. Children and staff from Golden
Bay Kindergarten visit every week for adventure play and
learning in the forest.
Gardeners rent allotments at $1 per square metre, and this
includes the use of water and tools. The garden shed is fully
equipped with hand tools as well as mowers and weedeaters.
Growers are invited to sell at the stall and encouraged to seek
organic verification.
The trust’s primary purpose is educational and its energy is
directed towards organic, sustainable living. The programmes
provide opportunities for learning and training that increase
Wholefood workshop
A wholefood, soul-food approach to understanding
women’s wellness will be the focus of a workshop next
week says local Linda Ross ICNT.
Women of all ages are invited to enrol in Linda’s
“educational, inspiring and solution-focused workshop
designed to support the journey of womanhood and the
modern day challenges of staying healthy, happy and
empowered.” Linda is a wholistic nutrition therapist,
nourishment coach and wholefood chef.

early last Sunday morning.
Jo-Anne Vaughan was met

Meanwhile in the lake two
of New Zealand’s (rare in
the South Island) dabchicks
were diving beside the
swans and numerous New

diving for food.
Jo-Anne says that

Fifteen Golden Bay men and women have celebrated their
success in the Catch Fitness 20-Week Challenge.
Working with personal trainer Michelle Anderson, the
participants set their own goals around fitness, weight loss
and lifestyle.
“The twelve contestants who set weight-loss targets lost
[a total of] 620cm and 62kg in the 20 weeks,“ says Michelle.
“It’s a nationwide event with over 600 entrants. It has a range
of categories and there are overall finalists and winners. The
Golden Bay group produced nine finalists, two of whom
went on to become category winners. Ian Thatcher won the
overall upper body category and Tanya Harrington won the
cardiovascular category. Other finalists were: Cheryl Elsey,
Wendy Gaby, Karen Bishop-Everett, Nikki Winter, Jacinda
Hohepa, Rob Anderson and Michelle Anderson.”
The 20-week challenge goes from May to September,
explains Michelle. “They have to work towards their goals
with my assistance, seeing me on a weekly basis in a small
group setting or one-on-one. You can only enter through a
Registered Exercise Professional trainer. This year was my first
year and I had 15 entrants, including myself. I’m very proud
of all our achievements and the hard work that was put in
by all the participants who have got so much out of this on a
physical, emotional, social and spiritual level.”
Tanya Harrington says she is loving the benefits of extra
energy she has from the personal training and healthy
nutritional advice.
“I wasn’t expecting to win the cardio section as I already felt
a winner in myself by donating the 15kg and 72cm over the
20 weeks, but I’m stoked to have done so. I’ve meet awesome
new friends on the challenge, all of whom have given me
the best encouragement and support. I’ve also had lots of
positive comments when out walking/running in my orange
Hi Vis, and this has only given me more confidence to get
out more. Massive hugs and thanks to Michelle for believing
in me when I couldn’t. Pushing me to where you know that I
could push this body but knowing when I couldn’t.”

Awards and big adventure for Mitchell
Mitchell Winter’s last schooldays have included some
richly deserved recognition and an interesting development
in Mitchell’s plans for the future.
His preparations for Victoria University are on hold as he
sets off for England in the new year.
The unassuming year 13 student won the Tasman
Secondary School Sport’s Service to School Sport Award
and the Altrusa Community and School Service Scholarship,
recognising Mitchell’s unstinting and selfless efforts over a
long period. Tasman Secondary School Sport encompasses
15 schools between Reefton and Blenheim. Each school
nominates its sports stars for awards that recognise individuals
and teams of the year.
Mitchell has had a long history of service, mostly through
football coaching, but also through his membership of the
Tasman Youth Council. The coaching developed out of
Mitchell’s own football career – he has been a regional
representative player in every grade since he began playing
football as a seven-year-old.
The Service to School Sport recognises Mitchell’s
unarguable commitment to regional football. “I went over
to Nelson once a week through the first term and helped
coach federation talent centre and every Saturday morning I
coached a team of younger players. With rep training, playing
and coaching I had to make three trips to Nelson each week
for the first term.”
He says he finds coaching younger players particularly
rewarding. “It’s really cool – seeing young players making
changes and progressing because of things they’ve been
taught.”
Mitchell also refereed football when his team was playing
at home and he had a little down-time between watching his
young charges play and playing his own game.
Earlier this season, Mitchell took over coaching his school’s
first XI (of which he was the captain) for six weeks when the
usual coach, Rob Anderson, had to stop because of a serious
football injury. Coaching his peers posed few problems he
says. “The other players were really good about it. Nobody
complained or seemed to mind.”
Mitchell’s Altrusa Community and School Service
Scholarship is the first to be awarded in Golden Bay by the
Nelson organisation. Mitchell was interviewed for the award
but he didn’t know he had won it until the recent Golden
Bay High School senior prizegiving. It comes with a $2000
tertiary education scholarship that Mitchell can use where
he chooses. As it happens, he will not be taking up that offer
immediately.
“Until a month ago I was all set to go to university in
Wellington next year. I was doing a lot of thinking about
it and it just didn’t seem like the right thing to do right
away. I was looking at heaps of other ideas and Mr Batten
(GBHS careers adviser Gareth Batten) mentioned a scheme
called Latitude Global Volunteering. You can go and work
as a volunteer in a range of overseas schools in return for
Calling VOLUNTEERS who love to garden
and gardeners who love to volunteer!

mentoring or coaching. I really wanted to get out of Golden
Bay and, maybe, New Zealand and find out about myself and
experience new cultures.”
Because Mitchell’s change of plan came so late in the year,
applications for most places had closed. Undaunted, he sent
his CV off to Christ Church preparatory school in Oxford,
England and the school decided it should offer Mitchell a
place on the Latitude scheme. So, for six months beginning
on 4 January 2016, Mitchell will be living and working at
Christ Church prep.
“I don’t know all the details of the job but I think it’s mostly
sports coaching. It’s going to be a great experience.”
Places at the prep school are highly sought after as the
nearby Christ Church cathedral choir is world famous, and
the school has places reserved for choristers. Interesting
though the school’s musical heritage is, Mitchell is already
looking forward to planning side trips to London and Stratford
on Avon. It’s also highly likely he’ll be seen in the stand at
Kassam Stadium, the home of Oxford United FC.

woodchopping
More than 30 axemen from Nelson, Marlborough, the West Coast and
Canterbury competed at the The Nelson A&P Show recently. The wood
was generally fast, although a little unpredictable. Drawing a reasonable
block was important to the axemen’s success.
Steve Winter used the risky tactic of ‘all or nothing’ and took every
shortcut possible to reduce the number of blows required. This appeared
to have backfired when he failed to make any of the open finals until,
on day two, he qualified for the big standing final and smashed his way
to an impressive victory, by several seconds.
Dave Gowland made three of the four open finals on day one, gaining
a second place in the small standing. Day one also had an uncommon
event where the axeman chops both an underhand and a standing in
the same race. Dave, competing in this kind of combination event for
the first time, finished fourth. He made two of the four open finals on day
two, including the last open event of the weekend which was the Fraser
Family trophy. This is the prestige event of the weekend and consists of
a big 375mm underhand race. Dave finished fourth.

Notice of Road Stopping
Takaka Wastewater Treatment Plant
Tasman District Council is notifying its intention to stop a portion of un-named and unformed
legal road which runs alongside the Anatoki River from the southern end of McCallum Road
to a dead end where the legal road stops. The proposal to stop this section of unformed road
is being considered pursuant to Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1974.
The road proposed to be stopped is shown as Section 1 on SO Plan 487432. The land area
is 1.6429 hectares.
The road stopping application is being made by Rainbow Valley Community Ltd which owns
freehold land adjacent to the road to be stopped. The road itself is 40m wide in most places. If
the road stopping is approved, the public will retain the right to use a minimum of 20m of public
road and other public land adjacent to the Anatoki River. If the applicant is able to acquire the land
involved, it has offered a 10m wide esplanade strip alongside the Anatoki River where there is
no legal access at present. When combined with the 10m wide esplanade strip, public access will
be possible from the northern end of McCallum Road to the Southern end, alongside the river.
A number of dwellings encroach onto the legal road corridor. The proposal is intended to
improve legal access alongside the Anatoki River, while allowing the applicant to acquire the
legal road underneath the dwellings. An unformed portion of McCallum Road is to be moved
slightly to the south. The width of the road will remain the same.
Plans of the proposed road stopping are available by Email: info@tasman.govt.nz. Plans may
also be viewed at the Takaka Service Centre and Richmond Office of the Tasman District Council.
Copies of plans, and this public notice, will also be available on the Council’s website.
For further information please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council on Ph. 03 543 8400
or by Email: robert.cant@tasman.govt.nz
Any objections to the proposed road stopping must be made in writing to the address
below and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Friday 18 December 2015. This is
the second of the two notices required under the Local Government Act 1974.
