Hospital contributors acknowledged
GB Community Health has recently
installed an acknowledgement board and
signage plaques to recognise the numerous
contributors to the new building and its
layout.
Project co-ordinator Kathy Reilly says
she “drowned in a sea of generous names”
for many months, compiling an exhaustive
inventory of individuals, companies and
organisations.
“My dream was that everybody who
had contributed in some way would be on
there.”
Carolyn McClellan helped to finalise the
list, which totalled 250.
Despite asking via The GB Weekly
for contributors to submit names, a few
unfortunately were still missed, Kathy says.
She explained that names appear in
varying-sized fonts; the larger the font, the
greater the financial contribution. This was
quite straightforward, she says, for those that
had bank statements to calculate from. Some
individuals were included under the name
of their fundraising event. Not everyone,
however, was keen to see their name in
lights, she says.
“I got the full gamut…some people just
wish to remain anonymous.”
Kathy came to head the project due to
her membership of the hospital fundraising
team of Paula Miles, Matt Toynbee and Marg
Braggins. Linda Sanders from the hospital
trust was also involved in meetings. Kathy
decided to stay on the team once the main
funding target had been reached.
“The hospital is an amazing testament to
the community - the number of people who
have got behind it. I heard recently about
Rose Windle giving rose-pruning lessons.
It’s like a community centre with groups
going there to entertain and teach courses,”
comments Kathy.
The layout of the acknowledgement board

was handed over to local signwriter Becky
Netto of Sign Design. With the aid of a
computer design programme, Becky created
the design, had it digitally printed and then
transferred it onto frosted glass. The result has
a modern look in keeping with the hospital
setting. Bruce Chick of GB Glass prehung the
glass so that Becky could work her design
around the holes before he completed the
installation. The 2.8 m x 1.1m piece retains a
subtle quality that complements the artworks
on display.
“It was fun doing a bit of a unique art
piece…also knowing it’s going to be up for
a long time,” says Becky.
All that’s needed now is a caption to
explain its history and meaning.
In addition to the glass board design in the
main entrance corridor, new plaques have
been placed above doorways. They recognise
donors for each hospital wing, herald the
name of a river in Golden Bay and feature an
abstract flow design by Becky. This concept
was put forward by local iwi representative
Chris Hill. “They represent the flow of life and
the centre does cover the whole of life [from
maternity to end-of-life care],” says Kathy.

The nationwide Women’s Refuge
organisation helps one woman every six
minutes on its crisis line. Not in Golden Bay,
right? Wrong.
“People ask me why Women’s Refuge has
a support worker in Golden Bay,” says Conny
Schrader. “They are sometimes surprised
when I tell them there’s a real need. The
domestic violence we have here is not just
physical; some of the most damaging is the
psychological abuse, the constant puttingdown that works away at a women’s selfworth. It can be difficult to get the courage
to ask for help.”
As part of National Women’s Refuge
Month, Conny did some fundraising last
week, goods donated by local businesses and
raising over $500 for the non-government
organisation here. She explains that all of
that money will stay in Golden Bay to help
women and families, mostly with emergency
accommodation. The reality is that more
funds will make Women’s Refuge even more
effective in the Bay.
“Women in a crisis don’t want to get in
a car and go over the Hill to a safe house.
In an emergency I can meet with them
and take them and their children to safe
accommodation here in the Bay.”
Conny is informed by the police whenever
they issue a domestic violence report. Under
new regulations, the police can take an
abuser out of the family home for up to five
days on a police safety order.
“That’s an improvement on the old
situation where the women and children had
to leave and the perpetrator stayed home,”
says Connie. “It gives the woman some
time to think about her situation and make
decisions about her future.
“Even so, I’ve had several women contact
me about emergency accommodation
because they didn’t feel safe in their own
homes.”
Women’s Refuge works very closely with
the Golden Bay Community Workers to
reduce the effects of domestic violence and
to try to prevent it recurring.
“I refer women to the community workers
for help – both immediate and ongoing. I
also refer some perpetrators to them. They
can support abusers to work on things like
their anger issues.”
Connie says she is very grateful for the
support Women’s Refuge has had from some
local groups.
“Rural Women and Trash Palace have
both helped out with petrol vouchers.
Women need to get over the Hill to lawyers’
appointments and court hearings. They are
often in tough circumstances because of their
family situation. I’m available to talk to any
groups who want to hear about the work
of Women’s Refuge, especially if they are
interested in helping out in some way.”
Connie’s boss and the rest of her team are
based in Nelson. The Nelson organisation
is raising funds through the Givealittle
foundation and Connie herself can be
contacted on 027 251 2034.

Celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori
As both an American and New
Zealand citizen, I can see the
immense value in promoting the
indigenous language of Aotearoa.
There are no such weeks for
indigenous languages in the States
and, as a result of this lack of
recognition, many languages of
indigenous tribes have died away,
followed by the demise of their
cultures. Language is culture and
it is a privilege to participate in a
week dedicated to honouring and
preserving the language of the
tangata whenua.
Jim Barnes
Māori Language Week is great.
We should learn more about
the language and the culture
because it belongs to this place.
I’m an immigrant here; I think it’s
important for me to understand
the things that are native to New
Zealand. I love the way Doris at
the library always says, “Kia ora”.
We should all do that. I love the
way Māori is easy to pronounce
because the way you spell it is
the way you say it. One day I’ll
do classes.

I think it’s really important for
New Zealand to hold it – to keep
it sacred. Early childhood centres
and schools are doing a really good
job. It’s great to get these things
into children’s brains and just
make it normal. I find it pretty cool
that my neice can see a fantail and
say, “Oh look, there’s a piwakaka”
and my four-year-old son son says
“There’s four kereru in that tree.”
Rex Bowden
The GB Weekly has a new masthead
in honour of Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori /
Māori Language Week. It is a pretty-much
direct translation of our usual masthead.
Our Te Reo adviser said that “pukorero”
was the best way to translate “news,
stories, pieces of information”. So the
one-off masthead means: “stories of the
week in Golden Bay”.
Māori Language Week is being
celebrated for the 40th time this year.
Each year it has a slightly different theme
or focus. This year the catchphrase
is: Whangaihia te reo ki nga matua /
Nurture the language in the parents. The
thinking behind the catchphrase is that it
is children who often lead the way with
Māori Language learning because of
the work being done in early childhood
education and in schools. This year the
commission is challenging adults to give
Te Reo a try.
Neil Wilson
Kia ora koutou katoa! To me as
tau iwi, learning at least some of
the language is a matter of respect
for the people I share a home with.
It’s also a giant jigsaw puzzle with
years of fun to be had and never
quite to be completed. Kia kaha! E
tohe! Ā nehe rā, mārama ō tatou ki
te Reo Māori.
Nicola Kim Finlayson
New Zealand is missing out on
a lot by being so mono-lingual.
European people often speak three
or four languages and that gives
them an understanding of the way
other people see the world. It’s
a holistic thing, the connection
between language and culture. I
had some lessons in Māori with
Ann Harvey and Jocelynne Bacci
a few years ago and really enjoyed
them. I’ll be going back for more
when my circumstances allow.

Iwi to hold another economic summit
The iwi of Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka a Māui (the top of the
South Island), are again working with other powerhouses in
the region to hold an economic summit. This year’s event
will be held at the Rutherford Hotel on 19-20 November, and
will build on the success of the 2012 summit.
In 2012 the iwi of the region were on the verge of
completing their Treaty of Waitangi claims process. The
Paerangi Te Tau Ihu Economic Summit was an opportunity
to come together with others in the community to discuss
the changing environment for iwi in the region. The key
themes were “shaping the future and leveraging the Māori
asset base”.
The theme of this year’s summit is Te Atakura, a redtipped dawn. Taken from a well-known karakia (prayer), Te
Atakura speaks to the dawning of the iwi economy in Te
Tau Ihu, and the opportunities that this presents. Themes
include indigenous branding and marketing, innovation and
technology, collaboration and risk management.
Speakers will include those who have successfully grown
from small one-man or whānau-based organisations, to
achieve international recognition. Over the two-day event
there will be a day of conference -style speeches and a day of
smaller break-out sessions that attendees are able to choose
from. During the evening there is to be a gala event where
the region’s first Māori Excellence Awards will be held.
The event’s organising committee is led by local iwi
representatives with support from mātāwaka (Māori living in
the region who are not of the local iwi) and tau iwi (nonMāori)
groups including Nelson City Council and Nelson Regional
Economic Development Agency.
Chair of the organising committee Andrew Stephens
(Ngāti Tama) is pleased with how the event is shaping
up: “There must be opportunity for iwi to come together
and seek out ways to do more and be more for their iwi
members.” Individuals, companies and service providers who
are interested in learning more about the Māori economy
and the opportunities that this could present the region are
encouraged to attend. There are also sponsorship packages
available for those interested in supporting the event.
More information on the summit is available on www.
teatakura2015.co.nz. For any enquires regarding sponsorship
or speakers, please contact Olivia Hall on olivia@mekeevents.

Higher charges see Port Tarakohe users shipping out
The increase in user fees at Port Tarakohe over the last
year has made it one of New Zealand’s most expensive
ports for its size. For many, its use is no longer financially
viable. Recreational users in particular are not happy with
the charges, and 18 vessels have literally shipped out, and
more plan to leave.
Tasman District Council bought the deep-water port in
1994 from the former Golden Bay Cement Company. It is
used both for recreational and commercial purposes, has
62 berths (which can hold vessels up to 30m long) and
features a main concrete wharf and the condemned timber
wharf.
The Nelson Mail (27 Jan 2014) reported that following
the purchase of the port, regular financial reports to the
council were made public until about eight years ago, when
information began disappearing “behind closed doors”.
According to the article, a debt of $2.75 million was incurred
during this time. It also stated there was no public scrutiny to
account for the expense.
But Councillor Martine Bouillir says the historic debt goes
years back - due to several hefty consultancy reports and
legacy issues regarding unpaid debts.
After buying the port, the council ordered a replacement
valuation, which cost them about $45,000. The value was
assessed at over $12 million.
The fifth development plan released in November 2013
laid out the five-year plan from 2013-2018, during which
period the port’s ratepayer subsidy would terminate, replaced
by an increase in user charges in order for the port to stand
on its own two feet and work towards self-sufficiency. These
charges would aim to achieve a seven per cent return on the
value, and pay off the debt incurred.
According to the report, consolidated charges from 2013
were estimated at just over $7 million, with an average of
$1.4 million per year. The increase in user charges would
be 100 per cent.
The development plan also contained recommendations
to shift the boat ramp from the deep water site, create parking
restrictions, remove the condemned wharf, reclaim more land
and extend the marina’s western and southern ends. A legal
road bypassing the port was also discussed.
After the report was released, a public forum was open until
February 2014 and public meetings were held. The feedback
produced 212 submissions. Almost all submissions opposed
the proposed increase of 100 per cent in user charges and
many of the aforementioned changes to the port.
Another article in The Nelson Mail (28 Nov 2013) reported
that the port’s mussel industry users had warned TDC that
it would refuse to pay voluntary “line charges” if they
increased by 100 per cent, and threatened to find another
port facility.
Port manager Allan Kilgour said that following this, the
mussel industry negotiated with the council to retain the line
levy but opposed the proposed increase in fees.
“Instead, a wharfage system was requested,” explains
Allan. “Now everyone pays through the weighbridge.”
Last year, charges overall increased by 60 per cent, but
council’s latest annual report stated it had decided not to raise
fees another 20 per cent. Cr Bouillir said that was because
users were struggling to pay.
Recreational user Martin Potter formerly moored his boat
in one of the 18 now-vacant berths. For 10 years he leased a
floating berth, but has moved his yacht to a mooring instead,
for which he pays $1,500. He says a similar mooring would
Recreational port user Martin Potter says: “A lot of people are looking at their options about leaving. What used to be a vibrant,
happening place is now dead – everyone is gone.”
cost $700 around Auckland or the Bay of Islands.
“A lot of people are looking at their options about leaving,”
says Martin. “What used to be a vibrant, happening place is
now dead – everyone is gone.”
Espresso ship owner Oliver Mitchell says the price increase
had definitely made his business less profitable. He was
paying $60 per week for his berth seven years ago, but today
he is paying $150. “That’s $7,000 a year now, just for a bit
of water. I’ll have to leave – maybe even this summer - if I
can find somewhere else.”
Cr Bouillir says she is “gutted” to hear about the Espresso
ship’s probable move. “I’m not surprised to hear that, but
it would be very disappointing,” she says. “Council did
negotiate back a bit on the fees and it still has to be looked at.
Ollie and his boat are a tourist attraction offering a service to
the port, and we should be encouraging businesses like that.
I hope he will approach the council and see if we can work
something out. I’m sure the workers enjoy buying a coffee
down there as much as the tourists do.”
According to Allan Kilgour, not all news coming out of
Port Tarakohe is negative. He said one positive development
over the last year was the new weighbridge, which is
operating successfully. “We now have a fully secured port
with automatic gates,” he explains. “The port is now very
secure and safe.”
According to TDC commercial manager Gene Cooper,
there has been movement out of the marina but there have
also been some additions. Gene sees long-term financial
sustainability as the port’s priority.
“Council has an understanding that it needs to invest in the
long-term viability of the port,” he explains. “Its involvement
is not about making a profit for profit’s sake…the lack of
critical mass of the port affects the level of charges at present;
however as use increases this will be expected to change.”

GBHS House Challenge
On the evening of Friday 7 August, Golden Bay High
School is presenting the 2015 House Challenge. This year’s
concept is “A Night To Remember”, so you are sure to have
a brilliant evening watching the four houses fight it out for
first place. Doors open at 7pm at the GBHS hall – come along
and support the kids and their houses. With local judges, a
half-time supper and lots of laughs, this really will be a night
to remember. Proceeds from this totally student-driven event
are going towards supporting student initiatives within the
school. For more details check out the advert and posters.
See you there.
Emma Bailey, for GBHS House Challenge committee
Knitting, crochet and craft groups
To all knitting/crochet craft groups in the Bay.
Our Fridays at the library have been so successful with lots
of wonderfully enthusiastic people learning how to knit or
crochet, or learn to read a pattern, or solve a problem, that
it seems a shame for it all to slow down and eventually stop.
But in saying that, I have been hearing of so many groups
that are already established, with loads of experience they
are willing to share, that I thought it would be good to make
up a directory to leave at the library for anyone to find out
about them.
Please phone me on 525 8199 with the name of your
group, what you do, and a contact number and I will pass
on the details to the library for all those lovely people who
have supported us over the last six weeks and for anyone
else who is interested.
Wendy de Maat
A clean future for our kids
Let’s make it possible for our children, the next generation,
to be able to afford to live in Golden Bay. Affordable housing,
low-impact development on our own land. Instead of them
having to live in a flat elsewhere, thus unable to use their
skills on the land.

Modern warfare
It was reported during WWII that General George Patton,
on addressing his troops, said: “Men, you do not win a war
by dying for your country. You win a war by making the
other bastards die for theirs.” Those of us who have served
in our armed forces, know we are taught to kill the enemy
with minimal risk of getting ourselves killed or wounded.
Dealing with the current enemies such as ISIS, Al-Qaida,
Taliban and other radical terrorists, is a hard duty. How do
you fight an enemy that not only wants to kill you but kill
himself in doing it? This is a new type of enemy engagement.
I would not want to be a foot soldier or serve in ground forces
in today’s fields of conflict.
How can our soldiers of the Western Powers, trained in
honourable fighting, obeying the Geneva Convention, get
involved in a fair battle? They cannot. They have to keep
their distance from the front line. The use of pilotless drones,
and computer-controlled weapons is the answer. Stay safely
behind enemy lines in the war control room, press the right
buttons, and watch your enemy die on TV.

Super Liquor Takaka: wide range, full service
What used to be the
Junction Hotel’s bottle
store has had a branding
make-over and a spruce-up
and is offering an extended
product range. It continues to
operate its seven-day-a-week
business.
Owners Michael
Drummond and partner
Karalyn Barnett explain that
linking up with the140-strong
nationwide Super Liquor
franchise chain gives them
access to bulk-buying and
a wide range of products.
They also have the freedom
to choose what they stock
on top of the core range of
products.
“We’re keen to use our
existing eight-tap flagonfiller to provide some local
craft beers as well as the DB,
Speights, Monteiths and Bays
beers,” says Michael. “We’re
hoping to add Mussel Inn and
The Hop Federation beers
too. That should interest all
the craft beer drinkers. We
like the idea of our customers

Golden Bay High School’s NCEA results
The national release of schools’ NCEA
data to the media inevitably has led to
comparisons both between schools and
with so-called national averages of student
achievement. Such comparisons have little
validity for a whole range of reasons.
In our case the size of each cohort is the key and our smallsized intake over the years mean that variations in academic
strengths, sporting talent and so on become quite marked
from one year to another.
At NCEA Level 3 in recent years the cohort has ranged
in size from 17 to 35 and in such circumstances a shift in
achievement by just one or two students can significantly
alter the percentage achievement rates, the data used to
make comparisons.
What is more significant for us is to follow a particular
cohort of students and ask ourselves whether we are
“adding value” (Ministry of Education-speak) by increasing
achievement for those students, given the baseline assessment
data we had on their entry into Year 7 and the achievement
data collected regularly from that point. For most students
the answer to that question is a resounding yes.
Last year our NCEA achievement rates sat at or slightly
below “national averages”. In 2013 they were well above,
with Year 13 students (the small cohort of 17) overrepresented in scholarship exam success. As much as anything
else, the success of those students was a reflection on the
academic ability of the year group. What is not reported in
the comparisons being made is that the majority of students
who did not achieve NCEA Level 1 last year did achieve the
literacy and numeracy requirements, and have very quickly
achieved the credits required to complete the qualification in
2015. The other piece missing from the picture is the fact that
the rate of achieving Merit and Excellence endorsement of
the qualifications at all levels continues to increase, and that
at Level 1 last year we had a very high number of students
achieve with Excellence.
Contrary to what was reported in another publication
recently, we do not believe we should lower our expectations
because we are a rural, isolated school. Quite the opposite:
we maintain very high expectations of all of our students and
this is reflected a) in those increasing endorsed achievement
rates mentioned above, b) the perennial success of our
students in securing tertiary scholarships, and c) the high
levels of achievement beyond the school gates, whether at
university or through polytechs or in apprenticeships, the
success stories are frequent and outstanding.
On the surface, both the Level 3 and UE results last year
were somewhat disappointing. We would have expected a dip
in the profile based on the lower NCEA Level 2 achievement
rate in 2013 and also in comparison to that very small 2013
Year 13 cohort which recorded such outstanding Level 3
and Scholarship achievements. In fact the high number of
endorsed results belied the low achievement rate; there was
also a significant number of students in Year 13 for whom
achievement of NCEA Level 3 and/or University Entrance
was not a goal. These students, though, were motivated
to successfully complete the Level 2 qualification or gain
workplace credits via Gateway and Trades programmes
to move into tertiary trade training or apprenticeships. If
they were removed from the data then the achievement
rate for Level 3 would be 81 per cent. Data is very easy to
manipulate.
We remain well on course to meet the Government’s
goal for all schools: 85 per cent of all school leavers in 2017
having NCEA Level 2 as their lowest level of achievement.
We have always proclaimed ourselves as a high-achieving
school and there is no reason to change that view.

Pohara Hall
The Pohara Hall will be the subject of an important
report to be presented at the 11 August meeting of the
Golden Bay Community Board.
TDC community development manager Susan Edwards
is writing the report but no details are available for
publication yet, says council communications adviser
Chris Choat.
“The report will initiate a process that will include
plenty of opportunity for people to have their say,” says
Mr Choat, adding that the options being considered for the
hall definitely did not include industrial applications.
The GB Weekly has established that, contrary to a
rumour circulating in Golden Bay, Ngai Tahu Seafood
has absolutely no interest in the Pohara Hall. The major
seafood industry player has bought Arista-Cat Mussels
from the Solly family but sources say few changes will be
visible to the outside observer. Ngai Tahu Seafood wanted
to buy Arista-Cat to secure a reliable supply of quality spat,
said chief executive Campbell Cave.

If you have just grass or
random annual weeds, then
a shovel is fine. If you have
serious rhizomatous weeds
like couch or yarrow, then
a fork is the best tool. When
forking, start one end and
work backwards over the
bed. Move from side to
side, weeding on top of soil
that’s just been weeded. This
helps to find missed weeds.
If you use a shovel also go
backwards, but just turn
the soil over like a plough.
After either method use a
rake or fork to level off the
soil clods. Once the area is
tilled you can either leave
it as a large patch or make
raised beds by shovelling soil When forking, start one end and work backwards over the bed. Photo: Sol Morgan.

Giant Buttercup: Update on
Sustainable Farming Fund project
In October 2014,
AgResearch scientists
established a field experiment
at the first three of the nine
dairy farms that are hosting
the three-year Sustainable
Farming Fund (SFF) study
that aims to eradicate giant
buttercup.
The experiment, replicated
in time and space, is designed
to test a very wide range
of treatments including
chemical herbicides, fertiliser,
a bio-herbicide and pre-graze
mowing on wet and dry soil
types on Takaka dairy farms.
While conclusions regarding
the most effective treatment,
or combination of treatments,

indication from the results on
the three year-1 farms (obtained in May 2015) that under pregraze mowing, the grasses and clovers are more productive
and that the buttercup is suppressed.
In October this year, replicates of the experiment will be set
on three “new” dairy farms. Two treatments will be removed
(glyphosate and chlorsulfuron) on the recommendation of
the Technical Working Group following their review of the
results in April 2015, and a new treatment, a bio-herbicide,
will be added. The bio-herbicide, utilising the common
fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as its active ingredient, has
been under development by AgResearch technicians at their
Lincoln laboratory since July 2014.
AgResearch applied to the Ministry for Primary Industries
on 6 June 2015 for “research approval”, under the Agricultural
Compounds and Veterinary Medicines (ACVM) Act 1997, for
permission to include a dry flake formulation of the fungus
in the 2015 and 2016 replicates of the experiment. The
ACVM application, and its supporting documents (published
scientific papers in which the environmental risks associated
with the use of the fungus for weed control in pastures are
reported), are available from project manager Sue Brown

Network Tasman announces $8.3m
in line-charge discounts
Consumer-owned local electricity distributor Network
Tasman will credit $8.3m of sales discounts against its
consumers’ winter power bills; up from the $8.1m provided
in winter 2014. The company also expects to provide a further
discount in December this year.
“Network Tasman is pleased to provide another winter
discount this year,” said Network Tasman CEO Wayne
Mackey. “The total discount ... has been achieved against
a backdrop of the company delivering good reliability of
supply, continued network investment and a 2.6 per cent
reduction in its line charges in April. Ministry of Business
Innovation and Employment surveys show that even before
discount, Network Tasman’s residential line charges remain
among the lowest in the country.
“Virtually all of the company’s 38,500 consumers will
receive a discount at a rate of 2.2 cents on each unit of
electricity consumed during the last year, so discount
amounts will vary with the amount of power used. An average
residential consumer using 6,900kWh per annum can expect
a discount against their August power bill of around $150.”
To be eligible, a consumer must have had an active,
metered connection to Network Tasman’s electricity
distribution system as at midnight 17 July 2015. The network
covers the Nelson-Tasman region, excluding the central
Nelson area.
The company is arranging for electricity retailers to
credit the discounts onto consumers’ power bills from late
July through to the end of August. The discount will be
clearly identified as a separate item on consumers’ power
accounts.
“Eligible consumers will receive a discount irrespective
of which electricity retailer they choose,” said Mr Mackey.
”Switching retailers does not alter this entitlement because
the discount comes from Network Tasman and not the
retailer.”
Network Tasman is 100 per cent consumer-owned.
Consumer ownership and a focus on cost efficiency has
enabled Network Tasman to credit more than $130 million of
discounts back into the region since the scheme’s inception
in 1994.

Former local writes children’s book
for muscular dystrophy
Former local Erin Feasey, now Erin Webb, has published
a book that will make a difference in a lot of families’ lives.
Dinosaur Mac’s Discovery tells the story of a dinosaur-mad
boy who worries that he will not be able to wear his dinosaur
tail in the wheelchair he needs for mobility.
Erin and her husband Myles Webb have two children, a
son Alex and a daughter Izzy. Alex suffers from Duchenne
muscular dystrophy, and this prompted the creation of
Dinosaur Mac’s Discovery.
“We had both been thinking of how we would talk to Alex
about some of the changes he would experience and some
of what we would assume would be the first questions. I had
looked for other books and only found one that was done
in America. It wasn’t “real” enough for me as it was about
an animal, not a person, and it was written in American
English.
“While I was visiting my sister Laura in Wellington I saw a
poster that really touched me. It just had ‘I’m glad you exist’
written on it with some nondescript pattern of colour for a
background. I loved that it was - and is - that simple. Driving
home to South Taranaki I spent a lot of the time coming up
with a title using DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy). I
came up with Dinosaur Mac’s Discovery and thought that
it would be the tale – and a tail – of a boy discovering his
uniqueness.”
Erin focused her story on two simple questions that Mac
could ask his parents about how his body was feeling and
changing: “Why do I get tired?” and “Why do I have to hold
on to the handrail?” and some adventures the young man
might have as a result of his muscles working differently from
other children’s muscles.
“I just wanted a nice easy platform to begin the talking
process about Duchenne with our wee man as he is such a
book boy and very insightful.
“The morning after I got home from Wellington, the kids
woke early and I put on TV so they could watch Sesame
Street. While they did that, I basically wrote the story as it
was all in my head by then.”
Erin sent the story to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to
see what they thought of her efforts. Their highly enthusiastic
response encouraged her to seek an illustrator and to get the
book published.
“We have a book called Adventures with Daddy, beautifully
illustrated by Gabriella Klepatski. She also illustrated Blackie

sister Izzy practises her pushing skills. Photo: Supplied.
the Fisher-Cat and The House That Went to Sea. As I was
writing the story I was thinking of her illustrations. I Googled
her and she agreed to illustrate the book. She says it’s not all
about the money. She is my goddess and has been so truly
wonderful in this process.”
The book is not for profit, and any money raised from the
sale of 1000 books will be donated to an organisation that
works with DMD. Dinosaur Mac’s Discovery can be bought
from Pohutukawa Gallery in Takaka.
When she was approached to tell us her story, Erin replied:
“I am honoured you want to put me in The GB Weekly.
When I was younger I used to deliver it every week on my
bike around town.”

It was the start of a social competition between a mostly Drastix team and the rest who were sporting new Hoihos’uniforms. With
two full teams on the pitch there was plenty of action. The McClutchy’s were everywhere with three generations on the field. With
only one goalie the Hoihos managed to win 3-1 despite having less than their fair share of the ball. A good fun game with lots of

whakaaro: Creative energy
This year we find ourselves in a nationwide centenary
of remembrance; acknowledging war-torn trauma and
paying respects to fallen soldiers. Lest we forget, they gave
their lives so we could survive our future enjoying the vital
life-force of Golden Bay.
A park of remembrance is under construction on the old
library site. This is a great idea of land use. Artisans of all
description are giving shape and life to the design.
I’ve always found project sites fascinating. I appreciate
the skill and science applied to make things happen and
also connecting with the energy generated by creating
stuff. By all accounts this new park, when complete, will
be a nice place to rest and ponder.
It seems like an accident of consequence that art and
science flourish in a rural community like Golden Bay.
Personally, I think it no accident. These two interests
seem to pop up first whenever communities expand their
internal environment of thinking. Technology follows,
then advancements in applied science and best practice
sustainability.
The arts reflect a community expressing its cultural
freedom and letting off steam. Creativity is not confined
to the arts. Regardless of what job or activity we pursue in
the Bay, everyone shares and drinks from the same deep
wellspring. It drives ingenuity and vision, which makes a
point of difference for our district.
Golden Bay produces fine sports people, award
winning homes, restaurants and cottage industry products,
celebrated music talent, writers and much more. Forty per

the need to diversify. We have a lot to be proud of.
Creative energy is a felt sense, flying around the
atmosphere like WiFi waves and ready to be hooked
into, if you’re open to it. Perceptions broaden along with
recognising the similarities between people and accepting
the differences. It’s a useful resource that’s worked well
for us so far and I’m sure creative thinking will continue
to inspire and build on community spirit and trust.
There are two reasons why I’m touched by the
remembrance park venture.
Firstly, I’m from the World War II batch of families
growing up with fathers silently traumatised by battle.
Dad was a navy pilot who flew in Pacific campaigns. He
has since passed on.
Secondly, the Arohanui Golden Bay mural is going to
stay. This is a wonderful gesture from the community. The
mural stands on the boundary between the remembrance
park and the children’s playground.
The artwork was produced in response to losing the
much loved Golden Bay Memorial Library. Coincidently,
it was also the last public art project the late Joe Bell
worked on.
Arohanui Golden Bay represents a vertical patchwork
garden and a colourful community of ideas that reflect
freedom and expressions we still fight for.
