Tapawera Show a classic country event

TIM O’CONNELLThe weather seems to

know when the Boys and Girls Agricultural Club (BGAC) Tapawera Show is on, as for another year sunshine warmed the grounds of the Kahurangi Gateway village for another suc-cessful event.

Once again utilising the entirety of the Area School and adjacent Recreation Grounds numerous agricultural displays, fun side-shows and activities attracted hundreds from Tapawera and the surrounding districts, as well as many urbanites looking for an enjoyable family day out.

As it has been for the many years the show has run, the judging of pet lambs, pets and poultry was a major local com-ponent of the show, with ribbons and prizes awarded to those with the best specimen of each.

Local historian Maurice Taylor’s passion for all things mil-itary was exhibited in static and in live action form, with antique firearms and army uniform dem-onstrations attracting the curious and the enthusiast alike.

Classic vehicles and farming technology through the ages also drew plenty of interest, as did the collection of grass carts that just days earlier had been the centre of attention on the same grounds.

The afternoon finished with a Grand Parade and prizegiv-ing, before a flying finale thrilled those youngsters who were still present in the form of a helicop-ter lolly scramble.

Every little helpsThe Motueka community is rallying behind the family of Paul

Bennett, a popular local who was drowned when the fishing ves-sel he was on sank off Banks Peninsular on October 18th. A close friend, Adrian Van Vught, has set up a Givealittle Page to raise funds to support the Bennett family during this terribly sad time. The Bennett family has lost their sole provider in the tragic accident, which took the lives of all three on board the boat FV Jubilee. Skipper Paul Bennett left behind partner Angela, Isaac aged 15, Levi 4 and Ollie 2.To make a donation to the family, (however small) go to givealittle.co.nz/cause/bennettfamily.

A very special Bainham dayIt’s Jessica Kissick and Carl Chapman’s special day tomor-

row (Thursday) when they wed at the historic Langford Store in Golden Bay. The couple were the winners of the ‘Face Behind the Mask’ Face book competition run by ‘Dream Maker’, Terri Everett in June. They’ll tie the knot at 2pm.

Terri’s delighted to be able to create a beautiful occasion for this couple who she says deserve a special treat after their recent troubles, and at the same time to be able to support the Langford Store.

Mapua movieSunday at 6.30pm it’s movie night again at the Mapua Hall

and this time its “Cinema Paradiso” a much awarded movie which takes a nostalgic look at films and their effect on a young boy, It’s based on the life and times of Italian screen writer/director Giuseppe Tornatore. Don’t forget your camp chair and your drinks. The tickets are $12 and proceeds go to the hall.

Can you build it?A free seminar will be held in the Takaka Fire Station on

13 November 2015 to answer your questions about build-ing consents, resource consents, and LIM (Land Information Memorandum) reports. The first presentation will be at 10.00am and a repeat session at 1.00pm and each session will be followed by time for questions. Staff from Tasman District Council will be there.

Topics will include when building and resource consents are needed, an explanation of the processes involved, and what makes a good application. Also explained will be the the information Council holds about properties and how this can be used when buying and selling properties. For more infor-mation about this seminar or if there are particular matters you would like to see addressed, please contact Laura Page at the Takaka Service Centre.

Don’t feed the keas!DOC’s Chris Golding said people shouldn’t feed kea and

they shouldn’t try to interact with them to prevent the inquisi-tive and social birds becoming a nuisance. They have been spotted around the Flora Hut and car park.

“For kea human food is junk food and it’s as bad for them as eating junk food daily is for people. It’s better for kea to find their own natural foods to eat of berries, shoots and insects. Feeding them and too much people contact encourages kea to hang around areas where there is human activity and to investigate human objects. This can lead to kea damaging vehicles and other property.

“People can help look after endangered kea and help keep them out of mischief by leaving these alpine parrots alone to live wild.”

‘Take a Kid Fishing’The Motueka RSA Fishing Club is holding its annual ‘Take a Kid Fishing’ event on Sunday 13th November at Talley’s Fishing Platform, from 9am to 11.30am. It’s for all primary aged children who are accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Children need to bring their own fishing gear but bait will be supplied. There’ll be a free sausage sizzle, icecreams and drinks. Prize giving takes place at 11.30am.

Rec open nightEver wonder about the facilities and services at the

Motueka Recreation Centre? There’s a free tour this Thursday 8th November at 7.30pm. Following recent upgrades and renovation at the centre, Sports Tasman management, in partnership with Vision Motueka, is holding an open evening tomorrow. People may tour the facilities and hear about present and future plans. Sports Tasman through the Recreation Centre, offers a broad range of programmes that extend beyond gymnasium and sports. The public meeting is on of the community information get-togethers that Vision Motueka is hosting every few months.

Finishing touchesThis weekend the large, colourful mural on the Whitwells

Wall depicting Motueka River will be finished. Since Anzac Day more than 20 people have been involved; most of them total novices. The organiser, Vision Motueka, hopes that they’ll return over the weekend to celebrate what they’ve achieved together. The managing artist Karin Fruhauf not only designed the mural but also has been at the wall most weekends to allocate tasks to volunteers, mix colours and oversee the work. She thanks everyone who has helped, as well as the hundreds of passers-by who have praised the vibrant work. If you want to visit and chat with some of the team as they wrap up the work, they will be present between around 10.30am and 2.30pm both Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.

‘Healthy nature healthy people’“Get outside, take your kids and experience nature for

yourselves! urged Mark Townsend who is D.O.C’s Motueka Operations Manager. This Sunday between 10am and 2pm there’s a Tinline Discovery Trail in celebration of Conservation Week. Why not walk in and take part in the activities along the way? It’s push chair friendly! Don’t forget your lunch and water.

Ali’s hair!“Hairlounge Ruby Bay” next to the old store is looking

great. Alison Joanne Hatch – Ali - opened her new business a month ago and with that wonderful and best form of adver-tising, word of mouth, she has been busy ever since. Her aim is to create a relaxing and family friendly atmosphere . Outside there are colourful seats and pretty plantings and inside partner Mike’s created a neat wall from old (Colin) Rush apple crates. It’s cosy. “I want people to pop in for a chat. I want it be a place where village people can catch up,” said Ali.

She’s been hairdressing and tutoring for 37 years and more recently worked at ‘Clearcuts’ in Richmond but this is more handy as the couple live in Seaton Valley.

Uniting church stronger after quake repairs

St Andrews Uniting Church Parish Clerk Peter Smale stands in newly-reopened buildings that have undergone earthquake strengthening work.

TIM O’CONNELLA joyous reopen-

ing took place at St Andrew’s Uniting Church last Thursday, with a three year proc-ess of earthquake strengthening work now complete, as well as some timely reno-vations to enhance Sunday morning serv-ices.

Choirs, clergy old and new and a full house of 130 well-wishers and parishion-ers gathered to cele-brate their return to the church and a good old fashioned rural sup-per to round off the evening.

Surveying the struc-ture now free of scaf-folding and deer fenc-ing on the exterior that has hidden the beauty of the building, Parish Clerk Peter Smale is extremely pleased with how the $650,000 upgrade- largely financed through gen-erous donations- and use of invested money.

Although the build-ing has endured sev-eral big earthquakes in its 98 year exist-ence with no real dam-

age to speak of, initial talks and conditions imposed by the parent churches led to inves-tigations on the con-dition of the building three years ago with a requirement to meet new building stand-ards.

A range of options were considered for the church building in order to bring it up to spec, including demoli-tion.

However with a Historic Places Trust rating placed on St Andrew’s and a reluc-tance to pull down such an iconic build-ing, a more practical plan was required.

“There was quite a vocal group of Motuekans that said ‘over my dead body’ to that idea,” said Peter.

The most impressive aspect of the project is just how unobtrusive any measures taken to prevent earthquake damage are.

Original plans for the strengthening work would have seen abut-ments on the outside of the building, result-ing in a change to the

exterior’s aesthetics. This was remedied

by the architect sug-gesting carbon fibre glued into the side walls, which provides a flexibility and strength that is arguably bet-ter than steel when it comes to withstanding a major tremor.

As far as Peter is aware, St Andrew’s is the only building in the town to have these in place at present.

“There’s probably a few other buildings around Motueka that are going to need work in the future, we’re just leading the

way,” he says. Fresh paintwork,

carpeting and a remodelled kitchen has been undertaken as part of the project, along with speakers in the foyer and kitchen areas to convey audio from services to any overflow.

Inside the church itself, an upgraded lighting system and an LED backlight on the cross behind the altar gives a nice ethereal feel to the place, as well as insulation for warmth and colourful patchwork quilts on the walls, courtesy of parishioner Bev Dyke.

On behalf of the entire parish Peter is incredibly grateful to Gibbons Construction and the architects for their quality job, as well as the way they have communicated through every stage of the project.

Former Parish Clerk Catherine Dunkley receives a massive amount of gratitude for also taking on a clerk of works role during the rebuild, allowing an easy flow of informa-

tion between Gibbons and the parish. She and June Vincent, the Parish Treasurer were given flowers in grati-tude for their efforts at the celebration.

He is also thank-ful to the neighbour-ing Motueka Police for allowing tradesmen to access the site from their premises during

construction. With the hall now

available to be used again by commu-nity groups, there is a sense of relief that things have returned to normal for the parish, and that the original church building has a fantastic chance of seeing another century out.

Street talkWhat do you think of Sonny Bill Williams giving away his World Cup medal after Sunday’s triumph? Should he be given a replacement medal?

MargaretMotuekaI think it was great of him to give it away. After that I think he’s quite a decent guy. Nice if he got another.

RossMotuekaThat was an excellent gesture. I’m happy he’s getting a new one.

MarleneMotueka“I think it was really cool. No he should get another as he did it out of the goodness of his heart

LizRiwaka I think it’s great he gave it away, actually it makes me quite tearful. No I don’t think he should get another . He chose to give it away.

JANE WELLS“Let’s turn right at Blenheim!” said Lydia Bobsboom. She

and her husband and two young children recently migrated from Holland, had spent a few weeks exploring the North Island didn’t really fancy it and had crossed Cook Strait.

It was a good decision because that was over 30 years ago and Lydia has been here ever since. But that’s about to change. She retired last weekend, had a farewell on the Mapua Wharf Sunday and this week she’s moving north to live by her daughter on a dairy farm just south of Auckland at Pukekawa.

“Mum, you’ve worked your whole life for us. We always had everything we wanted Now it’s your turn!”” said her daughter.

Lydia’s traditional Dutch furniture is already on its way north and she’s look-ing forward to arrang-ing it in her brand new cottage. She’ll no doubt still be busy and that will suit as she’s never been one for sitting about but it will be in the more relaxed but vital Oma (grand moth-erly role) as her daughter is about to have her third baby.

Life wasn’t easy for the family when they arrived. Lydia applied for jobs where she could use her skills in the restau-rant industry or in an office with her accountancy qualification. Although she’d gone through a six week course in English as a second language she was turned down because of her English. So, as she had back home, she began work for herself. In rented premises at the Craft Habitat she hand dipped candles. She did this for ten years and sold them at the Saturday and Sunday markets at Nelson and Motueka.

“I always enjoyed the market days. I met so many people.”

Bye bye friends and customersBut always she combined it with another job – running the canteen at Talleys, or as Q.C. and auditor at Sealords. For years she worked seven days a week putting her children through university.

Lydia’s last eight years in the workforce have been spent at The Smokehouse. Immediately she stopped the cooking of fish and chips in dripping and changed to canola oil and instituted a new system so that no one has more than a half hour wait.

“The fish and chip shop is really popular. Lonely Planet reck-ons it’s in the top five for New Zealand. In 2013 we won Radio Nelson’s Top of the South’s Best. And we were second in Wild Tomato estimation!”

“I always tell the staff The Smokehouse has a good name. Don’t put anything over the counter that you’re not happy with. It’ll come back. People are pay-ing good money!”

Case, Lydia’s hus-band was always restless and after a number of years he opted to return to Holland. He’s since returned but he’s still unsettled. Peter, her partner of 12 and a half years passed almost two years ago and although Lydia’s days have been filled with work she has found her evenings very lonely. Living alongside family will be wonderful but she admits it won’t all be plain sailing “I’ll really miss contact with the peo-ple – customers and friends. I won’t be lonely up north but after 30 years I have a lot of friends and I’ll miss them.”Pictured from left Jo Thawley who takes over the leader’s role from Lydia, Deena Chibnall the Operations Manager, Lydia and Bryn duFresne-Mann.

TIM O’CONNELLThe Motueka High

School arts frater-nity was given a moment in the sun on Wednesday- despite the rain- with over 12 volunteers applauded for their many hours’ service this year with a luncheon put on in their honour and attended by staff and Principal John Prestidge.

A centrepiece project of the vol-unteers’ efforts is a prominent wall mural created at the Grey Street side of the school, a multi-hued design combining koru, cubism and various aspects of the school and region’s culture.

Pleasantly visible to residents and passing motorists from across the road, the mural highlights not only the talents of the stu-dents themselves but also the efforts of Art Head of Department

Ben Mills and the other teachers in getting the most from their charg-es. This and all other art projects undertak-en by the volunteers have been led by the dedicated Art Captains like Stella Bogdanoff, whose own work has gained plenty of local and national accolades

in recent times. Testament to the vol-

unteers’ commitment many a lunch time and afternoon spent paint-ing and planning, with plenty coming in on weekends and over holidays to ensure their ideas are fully realised.

Spanning the entire age from Year 9- 13,

many of the group will return next year to carry on the artistic endeavours of 2015, although few details of future ideas were forth-coming.

“None that we can reveal- any plans are currently under wraps and confidential,” said one coy student.

Volunteers thanked for brightening up school

Motueka High School’s art volunteers have given many hours of their time to complete this wall mural and many other projects throughout the year, and were acknowledged by staff last week.

TIM O’CONNELLFrom romantic

escapades in New Zealand’s early whal-ing days, magical sheepdogs to gar-gantuan crayfish, Marahau-based illus-trator Mat Tait has collaborated with uni-versity pal Dr Michael Brown to present a weirdly curious alter-native to our nation’s history.

The Heading Dog Who Split in Half: Legends and tall tales from New Zealand is Tait’s latest work released just last month and offers a fascinating, almost esoteric illustrated account of Kiwi folklore that is seldom given much exposure in the mainstream annals of history.

The early response has been encouraging with the book reach-ing number 9 on the national bestsellers list last week in the New Zealand Non-Fiction for Adults category.

A lifelong comic fan, Mat draws his influenc-es from underground and small press com-ics from the alternative scene, citing America in the mid-90s as a reference point.

Having established himself as an artist with a style all of his own, traces of these inspirations can be seen in ‘The Heading Dog…’ through the minimal yet haunting black and white draw-ing techniques used to evoke the mystique of time and place in each story.

Brown’s background lies in academia with a particular interest in folk music- particularly the New Zealand vari-ety- and in conjunction with that he began col-lecting stories which resonated with this theme.

Having stayed in touch with Tait since the genesis of their friend-ship in Christchurch, Brown approached Tait around 2007 with an idea to utilise Mat’s artistry in navigating these untold legends, initially just for fun.

“They’re both grass-roots, or bottom up mediums, sometimes with an air of dis-reputability to them – they’re certainly not top down versions of cultural history handed down from on high and so they were quite a good fit of message and medium,” he says.

The first story- that of the eponymous head-ing dog in Canterbury that suffers a physi-ological anomaly through an unfortunate accident– exhibited some early potential of making a real go at the project.

Once several stories had been inked, the pair then committed to pursuing the idea of an entire book and grant applications were sub-sequently made to facilitate the project.

With Brown based in Wellington, occasional trips were required to bridge the communi-cation gap, but overall Tait says the creative process was reason-

ably smooth to com-pletion once they got underway.

“We don’t butt heads too much, we discuss things, but having said that there was a sense that what we were doing was something of cultural value, so we weren’t sitting in our respective darkened corners,” he says.

“We definitely want it to be readable but with things to consider and think about if read-ers choose”

As with any good yarn, there is room for the reader to sus-pend belief, however Mat maintains that any

liberties taken with historical accuracy are balanced by the context in which the stories emerged.

“Even if there’s not necessarily any fac-tual truth there’s a certain symbolic or cultural truth revealed through them,” he rea-sons.

Among the collec-tion of stories includ-ed in ‘The Heading Dog…’ the tale of the Phantom Canoe sight-ed in the days before the 1886 Mt Tarawera eruption stands out for Tait.

“That was epic, we could have done a

whole book about that- there was so much going on in terms of cultural and political relationships at the time,” he says.

The rest of the book is dominated by intriguing New Zealand tales from around the country, including the poignant legend of Dunedin’s Tunnel Beach and muster-ers’ yarns from the Canterbury high coun-try.

Maori and European perspectives are explored, adding to the tapestry which makes the “The Heading Dog…” so appealing and accessible to the reader.

With the book now published and on shop shelves nationwide, Tait is open to pro-ducing a new volume at some point in the future, with no short-age of events and fig-ures to draw on.

“Locally I‘d like to do something on how Mt Arthur got its original name of Tuao Wharepapa- there’s also some good stories that may be enlight-ening for instance the infamous rustler James McKenzie or the story of Parihaka,” he says.

“There’s just such a wealth of material.”

Tait is grateful to the publishing work done by Potton & Burton, which he says is ‘nice and substantial-look-ing’, therefore comple-menting the vision he and Brown hoped to create in producing the book.

Weird NZ history a best seller

Local Illustrator Artist Mat Tait (pictured) has just released his latest book ‘The Heading Dog Who Split in Half: Legends and Tall Tales from NZ, which has already found some resonance with the public, making the top 10 bestsellers’ list last week.

MP lauds All Blacks’ world cupsuccess

TIM O’CONNELLEchoing the sentiments of 4.5 million fer-

vent Kiwis, West Coast-Tasman MP Damien O’Connor has added his congratulations to the World Cup-winning All Blacks after their unprec-edented title defence over the weekend.

“It was a brilliant victory against an Australian team which always have potentially won the match,” he says.

“The win is a testament to their self-belief, a sound strategic approach and the brilliant skills they showed throughout.”

The AB’s win is all the more satisfying for O’Connor after his Parliamentary XV came up just short in their equivalent tournament, also hosted by the English, just weeks earlier.

Playing in what must have surely been a pool of death in itself, New Zealand faced Wales, Argentina and France within a few days in the town and school that gives the sport its name, Rugby.

Despite the Parli-Blacks not having a try scored against them, the final outcome saw Australia ultimately prevail on the back of a favourable draw. While disappointed the way the cookie crumbled in the end, O’Connor says that he’s pleased to concede his own success in favour of the All Blacks winning on the biggest stage of all.

A veteran of the New Zealand Parliamentary Rugby team since 1995, O’Connor shares his position on the field with the incomparable open-side flanker and All Black Captain Richie McCaw.

“I still find it thoroughly enjoyable even after twenty years- I guess it’s the stubbornness of number sevens that keeps us going,” he says.

When pressed on the possibility that the time may be right to bestow a knighthood on the legendary loose forward- Richie, not him- he is reluctant to get too carried away but ultimately wouldn’t begrudge the investiture of another sporting Sir Richard.

“He deserves one if he wants one,” he states.The affable MP was also fortunate to make the

most of his time in the UK, attending the Opening Ceremony festivities of the 2015 Rugby World Cup in London, and first All Blacks game against Los Pumas before returning to New Zealand just over a month ago.

JANE WELLSThose living with a terminally ill family member

have very little time to themselves and often get no time at all to leave the house and sit and have a coffee with friends. Care giving can be a 24/7 commitment and carers may become very isolated. But help is available here in Motueka through the Nelson –Tasman Hospice volun-teers.

In Motueka four trained Family Support people are available to help out. They are happy to do a number of things that can really make a differ-ence. It may be sitting with the patient while the care giver visits friends, has time for a leisurely weekly shop, keeps an appointment or is able to enjoy an hour or two reading in the sun.

Sometimes the Family Support folk may take the patient out – it could be for a walk on the beach, afternoon tea, or a drive to revisit old haunts.

If you are a hospice carer with no time to look after yourself and you’d like a competent trained someone to give you some time, the nurse who visits you can arrange this.

Hospice volunteers also offer a Life Story writ-ing service to patients. Both services can be accessed via the Hospice and District Nurses, Community health Motueka.

The Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve Board today announced the appointment of David Ross as its new chief executive. Mr David Ross (pictured right) takes up the role on 2 November on secondment from the Department of Conservation where he has been Business Development Manager for the past three years.

Reserve Board Chair Chris Hawkes said David Ross brings a rich array of professional and per-sonal experience in conservation, sustainable development and outdoor recreation, as well as a strong business leadership and marketing background both in New Zealand and interna-tionally.

“We’re delighted to have been able to attract a person of David’s calibre. He brings the dual strengths of a clear environmental philosophy and track record together with strong commer-cial skills and rigour. These attributes will be critical in leading the next phase of the Reserve’s strategic development. Preserving Kaiteriteri as a safe, family-friendly outdoor recreation area while meeting our commercial, conservation and cultural imperatives will require innovative think-ing and proactive leadership, and we are very confident David will bring that to the role.”

Mr Hawkes said that balancing the many interests of the Reserve’s multiple stakehold-ers, managing the large fluctuations in visi-tor numbers year-round, and implementing the Reserve’s major redevelopment plan were among the many challenges of the job.

“This is a highly demanding role and I would like to acknowledge the work of the previous Reserve Manager, Rob Guild, over the past 26 years. David will be building on Rob’s consider-able achievements over that time.

“The major challenge now is to go forward with a relatively new team to future-proof the Reserve’s value and build the next chapter of our unique story, making Kaiteriteri a truly outstand-ing place to visit, explore, play, work and live,” said Mr Hawkes.

David Ross has had over twenty years’ com-mercial experience in New Zealand, Europe, Asia and the US, spanning sales and marketing, commercial partnership and business develop-ment roles. Other significant interests include aviation (he has a commercial helicopter pilot’s licence), climbing and skiing.

The Department of Corrections has rec-ognised the work of Motueka’s Salvation Army and local volun-teer Bob Cooke with 2015 Community Work Partnership Awards.

The Corrections awards recognise community groups and sponsors who have shown commit-ment through agency placements and qual-ity projects.

“The Community Work Partnership Awards offer us the opportunity to recog-nise these people and groups who can easily fly under the radar, and to show our apprecia-tion for the support they give offenders and Corrections,” says Caroline Palmer, Service Manager,

Local community partnerships recognised by Corrections

Motueka.The Salvation Army

Motueka has been a longstanding agen-cy sponsor engag-ing offenders at its Motueka Family Store. They have been sup-porters of offenders in the Motueka commu-nity for more than ten years, taking up to four offenders at a time.

The experience gives offenders the opportunity to learn valuable and very practical work skills and habits.

“The Salvation Army partnership helps offenders prepare for work opportunities by giving them an under-standing of the work environment and rou-tine,” says Motueka Community Work Probation Officer, Samuel Rubie.

“Those working in the shops are able to help out in the commu-nity and learn a range of useful retail skills, including cleaning, stocking shelves, win-dow displays, receiv-ing and cleaning of goods, and delivery of clothing.”

“The service is built around positive rela-tionships and this means we can support the client on their indi-vidual journey as well

as enabling us to run a very good service,” according to Jacinta, Family Store Manager.

Bob Cooke is the second recipient to be recognised.

Bob is a community stalwart for Motueka. He is well known by many community groups and recognised for his work in the com-munity, particularly with ‘Keep Motueka Beautiful’.

“If it wasn’t for Bob Cooke, the Motueka community would not have the exten-sive walkways that they have now,” says Motueka Probation Officer Samuel Rubie.

“Bob is the kind of volunteer who works behind the scenes, by helping and advising on community projects that Community Corrections link into. Bob has invalu-able knowledge of the area and projects that enhance the commu-nity.”

Corrections has a goal to reduce re-offending by 25% by 2017. The organisation appreciates that this is both an ambitious and incredibly important goal.

Reduced re-offend-ing will mean that our communities are safer

and there are fewer victims. The flow-on effect positively impacts on every per-son in the community.

“We know that we can’t achieve this alone,” says Caroline, “reducing re-offending requires a whole of community approach.”

“The intervention and support of groups like the Salvation Army and individuals like Bob make an enormous dif-ference for Corrections as an organisation and the local people on sentence with us.”

“Community Work Partnership Awards are a way for us to acknowledge individu-als or organisations with an outstanding commitment to pro-viding meaningful,

challenging projects that allow offenders to make up for their offending, learn new skills and behaviours, and provide role mod-els to make a positive difference to others.”

Corrections part-ners with hundreds of community organisa-tions in New Zealand, delivering more than two million hours of free labour each year, which is completed by offenders serving Community Work sen-tences.

Individuals and groups interested in working with people on sentence or with community projects should contact their local Community Corrections Service Centre.

At the same venue that afternoon, the Motueka Brass Band and The Salvation Army held the sec-ond annual fund-raising concert for the Body and Soul programme. Lively marches, an Eagles medley and solo per-formances enthralled the audience who also enjoyed some birthday cake to commemorate 125 years of the Salvation Army in Motueka.

TIM O’CONNELLLocal democracy is readily available and is being well-utilised by the

Golden Bay community, with some beneficial ideas and solutions brought to the table at the most recent Community Board Meeting.

One idea sent to the scrap heap is that of following Motueka’s lead in holding six-weekly Board meetings as opposed to the status quo of once a month. According to GB Community Board Chairperson Carolyn McLellan, some of the distances travelled by locals to be heard by council is far enough without having to wait an additional fortnight.

“In my opinion there’s no need for it- democracy is more readily available if we have the meetings once a month,” she stated.

Several emails and general public feedback received by Mrs McLellan and the Board would indicate that the Bay constituents share her opinion, and a vote taken at the meeting resulted in the idea being discarded until such a time that a newly elected board may choose to revisit it.

Engagement also appears to be working well with the public forums which precede the monthly meetings, with nine people taking the opportu-nity to put forward their pressing issues and concerns during the one hour allocation. The only downer on the present situation is the location of the meetings, with here each year held at Collingwood and eight in Takaka- all at the respective Fire Stations while the Tasman District Council’s Takaka Service Centre is still undergoing quake strengthening.

Staff are presently administering to the public from a small office on Junction Street until work is completed in mid-2016.

“It’s very unsatisfactory because nothing’s on site and a bit discom-bobulated really, although staff do very well under the circumstances,” she admits.

A presentation regarding the upgrade of the Takaka Wastewater Plant on Haldane Road was given by Project Engineer Jeannie Homesley. Community contributions in the form of plantings and various schools’ input were acknowledged, as well as reporting back on the challenges overcome in terms of extensive odour and the transporting of sewage from as far away as Pohara and Tata beach. The project has received a big tick from the board.

“The council engineers and planners were very open to trying things- all in all it’s been a very successful collaboration,” said Mrs McLellan.

The biggest positive to come out of the public forum came in the form of three young mothers who expressed a concern at the lack of cycle lanes in the area. The Board agreed with the trio and reiterated that plans to provide better cycle lanes were a priority of the board and Mayor Kempthorne, and a meeting was arranged for November 4 to try and make some headway on this.

“People are cycling as a mode of transport-this isn’t just for recreation, this is how they take their kids to school and this is something that Golden Bay desperately needs,” says Mrs McLelllan.

A proposal to make the seasonal speed limit of 80 km/h on the stretch of road between Payne’s Ford and the entrance to Takaka permanent has also been voiced by the community board.

With a larger build-up of housing, more facilities and the impending construction of the new Recreation Centre, Mrs McLellan says that there is now a real need to ensure traffic speeds are managed beyond the sum-mer months. Companies such as Fonterra have been supportive of the proposal, however there are still a few more hoops to jump through in order to make it happen. Safety was the key motivator in the Board’s wish to see the signs stay up all year, and Mrs McLellan said they would continue to lobby for change to NZTA.

“You can simply leave them up and save someone having to take them down,” she suggests.

The Golden Bay Community Board has requested further informa-tion about the possibility of using a targeted rate to fund Golden Bay Promotions to run the Takaka visitor information centre.

A public survey in conjunction with TDC’s Corporate Services will be undertaken to gauge the opinion of Golden Bay residents. It was reiter-ated that the Community Board itself cannot make any funding or rating decisions. These must be made by the Council and there are legislative processes that must be followed for all funding decisions, However the Community Board can make requests and provide feedback to Council.

The Council’s rate setting process begins with the Revenue & Financing Policy which has been adopted as part of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025. All decisions taken after this point must be consistent with the RFP. With this in mind, a recommendation was made that the Board not request a targeted Golden Bay Promotion Rate or funding as it would be expensive to implement, is not aligned to current Council policy, is unlikely to be fully supported in the Golden Bay community and changes to the rating system should be considered as part of the Long Term Plan rather than the Annual Plan process.

A more agreeable topic and one that was welcomed over the weekend was the old library site on Commerical Street giving way to a new Takaka and District War Memorial, which opened on Saturday. Mrs McLellan said the memorial and garden was funded by council and a Lotteries grant given to the RSA for the WWI Centenary celebrations, and was designed as a place for everyone to gather and reflect, but primarily for everyone to enjoy.

“One of the things that the community board did talk about from the start is that this area will have parents and kids coming through quite a lot- we don’t want kids to be told it’s inappropriate if they want to leap around-they had to feel welcome because the sound of kids playing is a happy sound,” she said.

With consultation from local iwi, the memorial contains a weeping wall and plinths commemorating each theatre of war undertaken by New Zealand troops, the recreational value of the space will be enhanced in the coming months with the upgrade of the Children’s Playground just behind it.

A new event is com-ing to Motueka.

The Motueka Christmas Night Market is to be held on Friday 4 December 2015 at Deck’s Reserve carpark, from 5-9pm.

The Market organ-izers are currently taking bookings from local stallholders who have wares to sell to Christmas present shoppers.

The market is being held on the night of the New World Starlight Christmas parade. The parade is held on High Street from 7-8pm, so people have a chance to attend the market before or after the parade.

The market is being organized by par-ents from Motueka

Playcentre, with stall-holder booking fees going to the playcen-tre.

Motueka Playcentre is a parent-run early childhood education centre that provides a space for children to learn through play, alongside their par-ents.

“We decided to cre-ate the Christmas Night Market as a fundraiser for our Playcentre, because it seemed like a great match with the Christmas Parade, and something we would enjoy to organize and attend” said Amanda Davis, President of Motueka Playcentre.

Starlight Christmas Parade Organiser Julie Jacobson is work-ing alongside market organisers... “I think

a market is a great idea. It will be a great addition to the festive atmosphere, and give families a chance to wander around before or after the parade”

Eva Lawrence, playcentre mum, and Stallholder Coordinator for the Night Market: “This is the first year for the Christmas Night Market, and we plan to make it an annual event. We are excited to be creating a festive environment for locals and visitors to gath-er together and buy Christmas presents from our local arti-sans.”

For further informa-tion and to book a stall, please contact Eva Lawrence: 021 77 10 11 or [email protected].

The Council is monitoring the risk of odour at the Motueka Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The plant is being upgraded to allow new, larger aerators to be installed. Three have been installed to date and the aeration basin has been emptied to allow concrete foundations to be poured to reinforce the pond base. All waste-water from Motueka, Riwaka and Kaiteriteri has been diverted into the oxidation pond for several weeks.

A large amount of sludge was found in the aeration basin after it was emptied and delays have occurred getting equipment to site. There are indications that the oxidation pond is degrad-ing. Testing has shown oxygen levels in the pond are getting lower. If levels continue to worsen there is the potential for odours to be produced. Northerly or sea-breeze wind conditions will potentially send these odours towards Motueka.

Current timeframes indicate the aeration pond will be operational in four to five weeks.

In the meantime, the Council is monitoring the situation and has contingencies in place.

If you have any questions, please contact the Council on 03 543-8400.

After a winter of renovation and transforma-tion, the formerly-named Hooked on Marahau now simply known as ‘Hooked’ has reopened with a function last week to showcase the changes for close to 50 guests.

Most notable is the interior which has taken on somewhat of an upcycled motif using items drawn from various sources around Tasman, including an assortment of coloured planks around the bar service area, shelving made of bottle crates and several striking nautical-themed items in keeping with Hooked’s loca-tion.

“Put it this way- I became very friendly with the people at the recycling centre,” says Manager Zoe Alborn.

Pictured here at the reopening function are the three ladies at the forefront of the revamp through design and hard graft (L-R) Johnna Alborn, Zoe Alborn and Sue Tunney.

In last week’s edition we reported that Flash Electrical were sponsoring the Technology Challenge held at MoTec.This was incorrect, as it is Laser Electrical who have been the main sponsor for this event.The Guardian apologises for the error.

Motueka Pottery Workshop celebrates its 40th year with a diverse exhibition of work at the Motueka Museum this month.

Traditional, sculptural, whimsical and folk art styles are on display at the show featuring 12 local potters with individual ideas about how to create objects out of clay.

The type of pottery produced at the Motueka workshop (based at Riwaka) has changed in the last 10 years, says workshop member Lyn Shirley.

A decade ago, most of the Motueka Pottery Workshop’s members were throwing pots on the wheel, says Lyn. There was very little “flat” or work built by hand,now it’s the reverse, with wheelwork being a less used method.

The shift from making pots on the wheel to experimenting with clay in all sorts of other ways suits Lyn well. “I do what I feel like,” she says.

Former Cantabrian potter Liz Yockney has cre-ated a host of endearing characters from flying pigs to seagulls with attitude.

Barbara Wilson has been making pottery for 38 years and regularly produces new designs of mostly domestic ware.

Also exhibiting are Anne Classen, Diane Reedy, Deb Fellowes, Cushla Moorhead, Sarah Douglas, Sherry Williams, Pam Wood and Liz Mahoney.

The show will run until November 20.

St Peter Chanel scrubs up for All Souls Day

November 2 was All Souls Day and St Peter Chanel School was remembering those who have passed on by giving headstones at Motueka Cemetery a spruce up.

SPC Deputy Principal Margaret Jones said the annual excursion was an extension of the students Religious Education programme, where they found ways to be more connected to God’s world and how they can make a differ-ence by “giving 100% plus five”.

Pupils spent the morning in their house groups with senior students working with the younger ones, while some took the time to visit the graves of relatives at rest there.

Grace Roberts, Isabella Griffith and Luana Nicholson get to work on All Souls Day cleaning headstones at Motueka Cemetery.

Classical music lovers in Motueka are in for a rare treat in November as internationally renowned concert organist Kemp English (pic-tured) takes his stunning new state-of-the-art digital organ around the South Island for the very first time. His Motueka concert is proudly presented by the Motueka Music Group, and will take place on Friday 13th November at 7.30pm in the Chanel Arts Centre.

Kemp will present a not-to-be-missed pro-gramme of delightful selections from the organ’s magnificent repertoire. It comes hot on the heels of Kemp’s highly successful tour of the UK (Tewkesbury Abbey, Chester Cathedral, Hull City Hall, Lancaster Town Hall etc) and presents music from his three hugely popular Stormin’ Norma CDs (recorded on the Dunedin Town Hall organ) and his very latest disc ‘The Organ is Dancing’ which recently featured on Radio New Zealand Concert and the BBC. There will be something for every musical taste. In his inimitable way, Kemp will introduce and perform works by Bach, Smart, Dubois, Saint-Saëns, Rawsthorne, Lithgow, Joplin and Lefébure-Wély and showcase a selection of magical works by the contemporary Norwegian composer, Mons Leidvin Takle. As Kemp and the organ’s console will be center stage, everyone will have a bird’s eye view of the performance.

Kemp English is one of the gems of the organ concert stage. Although based in New Zealand, he is much in demand as a solo organ-ist, collaborative pianist, and specialist fortepi-ano exponent worldwide - and he relishes the opportunity to work in a diverse array of styles and periods. His solo CDs include the Stormin’ Norma trilogy on the magnificent Dunedin Town Hall organ, Schwammerl, and Kemp English at the Fortepiano, in addition to several discs with violin duo partner Robin Wilson which appeared on the Decca label with Universal Music.

He has been nominated for 'Best Classical Album' in the NZ Music Awards and features regularly on Radio New Zealand, the ABC, BBC Radio, Classic FM UK and USA radio networks. He has performed on TVNZ and was featured in the popular American cable television programme 'The Most Extreme'. He is a freelance musician who tours Australasia and Europe extensively as both a solo and col-laborative performer. Upcoming engagements include the Hong Kong Cultural Centre (recital and masterclasses) and Montpellier and Beziers Cathedrals in the South of France. Among his many achievements Kemp is an honours gradu-ate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London and later completed a Master of Arts in Music Performance at the University of York.

Tickets are available from Floral Affaire, High Street, Motueka at a cost of $20 per person and $5 for high school students. (Ph. 03 528 4726).

Opening of Sensory TrailNot only is Sunday 8th November an open day at

Motueka’s Riding for the Disabled but it’s the opening of the wonderful newly completed Sensory Trail.

From 10 am until 3pm everyone’s invited.

A fun gala day As well as horse and cart rides there’ll be pony rides,

face painting, and a bouncy castle. Games will include a treasure hunt, apple bobbing, and ‘Pin The Tail’ on the horse. There’ll also be a few little farm animals, food is to include a sausage sizzle and a homemade food stall.

“We’re hoping this will grow into our major fundraiser for the year,” said Manager and Head Coach Jen Doyle. “There’ll also be a plant stall and plenty of horse manure on sale!” .

“We want everyone to know who we are and where we are. We want everyone to feel welcome.”

Special thanks to Rotary and othersThe Sensory Trail has been a major project and it has

been headed by the local Rotary Club. But others too have played an important part in its construction and layout.

“Think Water was on hand to give a hand with the irri-gation, Chambers And Jackett gave us a machine and time for free. Contact Energy gave $5,500 and sent 18 volunteers for a day and they got a huge amount done. And The Plant Barn and West Bank Natives provided plants.

Everyone’s invited to R.D.A.

Peter from Westbank Natives has us on his radar and he looks after plants too. And others have given small donations. We’re so grateful,”

Already a popular trailThe Sensory Trail is proving very popular. “It’s espe-

cially for sensory stimulation. Many of our riders have problems with sensory integration. Part of it caters for olfactory stimulation with plants with distinctive scents. The sound area has chimes, and there’s the tactile department with its letter box. Variable things are put in there for feeling. Visually there’s the woodland and beach area.”

“We use it every session. Even older riders like it with its bridge and ditch.”

Real labours of love by very many folk show with the numerous painted rocks that encircle the gardens.

guardianthe


A special trail“It’s ( the rocks) a really special part of the trail because

it tells graphically how many people show their support.”“Look at the bridge and the tunnel. There are excellent

builders in the Rotary Club and they’ve done all that!” said Jen.

A busy placeR.D.A. is a busy place. Presently there are 40 riders

aged from 2 to 51 who come once a week to either of the two sessions. (“That’s not the upper age limit though,” said Jen)

Weekend tuition At weekends there is public riding tuition for people

of differing abilities with someone as young as 4 to 80 years of age enrolled. A membership is on a term by term basis and the charge is $28 an hour.

Look out for collection boxesCollection boxes for Riding for the Disabled are in

many local shops and more will appear shortly. Already RDA has been delighted with the response. “Everything comes direct to us,” said Jen “We use the money on things that we really need like boots and helmets.”

R.D.A. a happy place to be

Volunteer Naomi Goodall and Jen both rode at RDA when they were little. Naomi really enjoys her involvement. “I like kids and horses. It’s good being part of the organisation and I’ve made lots of friends.” Jen is keen to have more volunteers involved. “We need people with horse skills.” Here they are pictured in the olfactory section of the Sensory Trail which is opening this weekend.

A vibrant schoolMapua School’s run up to its centennial celebrations

has been a happy affair with everyone in the school and parents and teachers involved for months.

Celebrations begin FridayThe celebrations begin this Friday and continue until

Sunday. What a wonderful chance for everyone associ-ated with this vibrant school to spend time together to celebrate its ongoing success.

Making a difference“All year our themes throughout the school have been

‘Looking back, moving forward’,”said Deputy Principal Sharon Prestidge. “Everyone’s learned a lot about their own and the area’s history which has given everyone a grounding. And we’ve looked to the future and thought about the differences we can make in the world.”

Neighbourly consultationThe Year seven and eight pupils have been especially

occupied. Some have trained as tour guides; others have been to Mahana and talked with their neighbours there about Mahana’s recent centennial experience. “That’s been especially good as they’ve spent time with students they’ll go on to college with next year.”

“Looking back, moving forward”Past pupils’ thrillAnother group is creating the Century Photo Book that

will include every present day pupil and all the registrants. “They’re just over the moon with the responses from

past pupils. They’re collecting some gorgeous stories. It’s been really special as the kids are connecting with others who share the same history as them.”

“The year 8’s went on a Wellington camp recently and were surprised to learn that that was where a much older ex pupil who also went on a camp to Wellington, and got her first kiss whilst there!”

Information, photosAn information brochure is being prepared and a web

site is also under construction. This will eventually be linked to the school’s web site.

Students are also involved Saturday night with a Photo Booth where they’ll take informal photos.

“Everyone has chosen a project. And often they have had to apply for funding. It’s been great for them to feel a really strong connection with what’s going on.”

Dean and Ezra, professional dancers from Nelson come to Mapua School each week this term to teach dance to the enthusiastic pupils. At the end of term there’ll be a concert. “The kids just love it,” said Deputy Principal Sharon Prestidge, “These strong male models are showing them dance is fine. The pair have had success in Australia and throughout New Zealand. Mapua is able to offer the classes to every child for $5 per term thanks to funding from the P.T.A., Creative Communities, and private donations.”Left to right: Zac Wentzell and Tyler Wilson, Daniel Neil (Obscured) and Milly Thurlow, Alex Marrs and Eleanor Bamfield, Ben Crowther and Rhea Symonds, Marley Richardson Hall and Jess Wratt enjoying their session.

Denim and Daniel have enjoyed their involvement with Mapua School’s centennial celebrations. Denim has enjoyed having responsibility for tour guiding and she told of the Ruby Bay children being carried to school by horse and trap. Daniel’s enjoy-ing designing the school photo book which will be available in the library over next weekend. Both agree it’s a special year to be in year 8 as they’ll be remembered at the 200th anniversary.

I am trying to compile a list of people in the Nelson/Tasman region who are survivors of Polio. You may be suffering from the late effects of Polio, you may be doing ok and it’s not a problem or you may just want to forget about it.

Either way I would like to make contact with you, mainly to find out how many of you are out there and perhaps share your Polio story with me of how you or your family have coped, also how it affected your family.

What you share with me will be kept in confidence unless you agree to share with others.

It doesn’t matter whether you had paralytic or non-paralytic Polio, or if you had a family member who has since passed on- I would still love to hear from you or someone who knows of a Polio Survivor.

The World Health Organization is a partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative with Rotary International, the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and UNICEF.

The goal of the Initiative is to reach every last child with polio vaccine and ensure a polio-free world for future generations. Since 1988 polio case numbers have reduced by 99%.

There are just three countries in the world that have endemic polio; Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan.

Polio can travel from these countries and infect people who have not had the disease or been immunised.

In 2009-2010, 23 previously polio-free countries were re-infected due to imports of the virus.

Humans are the only host for polioviruses. Polio can be eradicated through immunisation. If every person is immune the polioviruses have no one to infect and will die out. Type 2 wild poliovirus was eradicated in 1999.

It must be realised that Polio is only a flight away, so vaccination is VITALLY important and necessary.

If you want know more - my contact details are; Box 50 Tapawera, 7055. Email; [email protected] you in antcipationBrian RobinsonTapawera

LettersPolio plea

We continue to be amazed at the outrageous behav-iour and blatant violation of Motueka Aerodrome’s Memorandum of Understanding by pilots in Nelson Aviation College aircraft.

On Saturday 31 October we watched in utter disbelief as aircraft NAJ performed multiple turns in a very small area directly over paddocks containing stock, in par-ticular ewes with lambs. Not once, not twice, but at least 5 times. This is unnecessary, inconsiderate, illegal (it constitutes a nuisance) and downright stupid. If the pilot is incapable of understanding why he shouldn’t perform such manoeuvres then he is unfit to fly.

Mr Giles Whitney, CEO of Nelson Aviation College, has signed his name to the MoU. He needs to re-read the document he signed and agreed to uphold. If you speak to Mr Whitney about the MoU it won’t be long before he tells you that it is not legally binding. NAC has never had any intention of complying with the requirements of the MoU if it doesn’t suit them.

It is high time TDC started enforcing the conditions is boasts about creating for the good of Tasman residents.

Lunch time concert/picnicThe four House Leaders are in charge of Friday’s lunch

time concert. Kapa Haka and a rock band are definite items, along with ukelele groups, choirs and whole school singing. Everyone is invited to bring along a picnic to enjoy duting the concert.

Friday footieFriday Football, already an eagerly awaited weekly

event, is on after lunch. Usually its staff and younger players versus the older children but this week anyone can join in. Numbers are unlimited and there’s a cup to be won!

Armistice Day sportsAnother annual event which happens this weekend is

the Moutere Combined Schools Athletics Day which is always held on the closest Saturday to Armistice Day. Many of those revisiting their old school will remember this. It began in 1919 and there are a number of sought after awards. The Peace Shield race contested over 200 metres is a competition between the fastest individual runner from each of the five schools. Appropriately this race is held at 11am. The Taylor- Martin Trophy is a 100 metre dash for the fastest girls.

Special commemorationsDuring the year there have been other special events.

On 25th September, on the precise anniversary date, the school picnicked by the wharf. And earlier there’d been a Decade Day where each class was assigned a decade to research and dress up as.

All in all it’s been a wonderful year and everyone’s really looking forward to a great weekend.

Once upon a timeThings were very different in Mapua until 100 years

ago. School age children either went away to school or were privately tutored. It was on 25th September 1915 that Mapua School was officially convened in the sitting room of the Higg’s home with five students. Shortly after the school moved to Mr Senior’s old barn. By 1925 the school role was 28 and it had moved to its present site.

Today Today the roll is growing and there are 287 students

and 15 full time teachers.

Hard working juniorsIt was delightful to see the junior class’s eagerness

in creating mud bricks out in the playing field last week. During a visit to the historic cobb cottage in Mahana they’d learned about its construction and they were busy collecting clay and mixing it with straw and water for their own mud wall.

Time capsule up!The unearthing of the 1990 Time Capsule deposited

during the school’s 75th celebrations is eagerly awaited. It happens at 11am Friday.

School students and a Mapua-based Waimea College cyclist are among the 67 nominees for the ASB People’s Choice award at this year’s Tasman Secondary School Sports Awards.

Held on Sunday 8 November at Nelson’s Theatre Royal, the afternoon awards ceremo-ny will acknowledge and celebrate the fantas-tic efforts of our region’s young athletes from Nelson, Marlborough, Richmond and -naturally- Motueka High School.

Kai Mason and Eliza Harris will fly the flag for the MHS Athletics Academy after some out-standing regional and national performances, particularly in the throwing disciplines.

Fellow student Ayla Walker has made the shortlist for some fine equestrian results in the last 12 months, while the Trevurza sib-lings, Samantha and Daniel, have also earned deserved acknowledgement for medals and mul-tiple records broken in the pool.

Scott Dixon has done his bit to further the area’s motocross legacy with regional and South Island success, and Waimea College’s Daniel Reid has forged an upward trajectory of achieve-ment on the national cycling scene.

All finalists for the Sportsperson Code Awards are in the running for the ‘ASB People’s Choice Award’ that will be presented at the event.

The students are in their own right outstanding individuals that have made a significant sporting contribution to their schools in a wide array of sports, from rugby, netball and touch to swim-ming, sailing and motocross.

Conditions for mid-dle distance running at Saxton on Wednesday evening were near perfect. The rain had mostly cleared, it was cool and a little misty and the 1km race was the feature of the evening.

The sprinters had thundered down the track with Motueka High School academy runners snaring most of the prime placings. Cheyenne Du Plessis took the first 60m heat in a very tight race with Saxton’s new finish-line camera separating the first three placings by 0.12 secs. Izzy Neal had some revenge over Amanda Fitisemanu in their weekly tussle and Connor Bithell did the 60m/100m double.

Out in the field, Kai Mason and Taylor-May Robinson were throw-ing beautifully to win both the shotput and javelin events and Tess Haunch and Ryan Churchill (Nelson) tak-ing the Triple Jump.

This week was the first outing of Greg Lautenslager’s Distance Running Academy and his sta-ble of very fine athletes were out in full force.

Voting will close on Friday November 6 at 4pm to decide who will be the third recipient of the ASB People's Choice Award, which last year attracted over 45,000 votes.

This is an opportunity for the public to have their say and support these talented individu-als, simply by clicking ‘Like’ on the Tasman Secondary Sports Council’s Facebook page beside the desired student.

As well as celebrating the success of those who have represented their school at Tasman, South Island or national level , the awards will for the first time acknowledge those students who have achieved national and international honours, outside the school arena.

Once again, Motueka is sure to feature in the mix for this section of the awards, given the feats of athletes such as Amanda Fitisemanu in Oceania and Commonwealth Youth Competition.

Students must have represented their school to be eligible for all of our award categories and when you consider that some students compete for both school and club it shows a big commit-ment.

They have to balance trainings, study, school, leisure and family time, and some also have part time jobs. There is also the dedication of their parents or caregivers who support them,” says Secondary Schools Regional Sports director Jeni Thornborough

``The level of achievement of some athletes nominated this year is outstanding. It includes New Zealand titleholders and representatives, something you would never have seen 10 years ago.”

Personal bests in twilight 1km race

The first heat of the 1km race was won by Nelson’s Beth Versey, Jared Lautenslager won the Year 11+ men’s race in a relent-less pace, leading from start to finish but hounded by William Wallace at every step and then the stage was set for the race of the evening.

This was a race where the lead changed five times in the two and a half lap course, 3 times in the last 300 metres. Jacob Bryan of the Motueka Academy made the first break at the 300 metre mark but with-

in a few strides, Nick Matthews and Sam Mead from Nelson had reeled him in.

With the small crowd cheering them on and 100m to go, it was down to two runners, Jacob and Nick both at full speed and both straining with every muscle and sinew to get across the line first. At the finish there was only 0.37 of a second separating the two with Jacob taking the win in spectacular fashion. He ran a 10 second personal best in 2.47.97 and Nick a staggering 20 second personal best.

Motueka features in Sportsperson nominees

Among the nominees for Tasman Secondary School Sportsperson of the Year 2015 are (clockwise from top left) Kai Mason, Daniel Reid, Samantha and Daniel Trevurza and Ayla Walker. Eliza Harris and motocross rider Scott Dixon are also up for honours this Sunday, with all six being automatically included in the list of People’s Choice Award nominees.

Purerua Peninsula, Attention for the

ladies and the Motueka Club now turns to the Waka Te Tasman event on the 13th and 14th of November at Kaiteriteri. This year there will be six local junior teams repre-senting the club in their first ever race of 10km. Another group of keen homeschool students have put together two teams to

compete in a shorter 5km race.

For these young Motueka paddlers, racing starts on the Friday at 5.15pm but if you are keen for more waka ama action there will be earlier races starting at 3.30pm and all day on Saturday.

Organisers are expecting about 250 paddlers from around New Zealand.

TIM O’CONNELLFor the lone Motueka entry and others

present at the local EVolocity schools' EV challenge and launch last week, plenty of rethinking and ideas were taken back to the drawing board in the hope of improv-ing their designs before heading to New Zealand’s Only Electric Motorsport Racing Event in Christchurch. Inclement weather on the Wednesday forced a postpone-ment of the event until Thursday, where the seven entries from Nelson College, Nayland College, Waimea College and Motueka High School converged on Trafalgar Park to test their electric vehicle prototypes in several disciplines. Kendall Spark and teacher Peter Allan were MHS’ representatives at the event on behalf of of fellow team members Hannah Gordon, Dale Carter and Lawrence Parry.

and flashing lights was pitted against a souped-up shopping trolley and five powered up cycles in economy run, radar-gauged sprints, street circuit, backing, and rolling resistance events.

Having witnessed the merits of their machine in relation to the other schools Mr Allan conceded that Spark Racing cur-rently lack the top speed range they are after, and this is something the team will address ahead of the South Island show-down at Ruapuna Park in just over three weeks’ time. The bar-setter at this stage appears to be the city boys, with their bike design certainly meeting all the velocity requirements other entries aspire to.

“Nelson College does have a real speed machine- that is great and it looks fan-tastic. They just need to control, it as one rider crashed and he did lose a bit of skin,” he said.

Short games make for memorable cricket

Howzat? Sabby Chahal (above) had the distinction of claiming a hat trick with the first three balls of Stoke-Nayland’s innings, finishing with 5-14 and helping bring Motueka Black within two wickets of defending their imposing total of 31 all out.

Motueka White made short work of Wander-ers in their sched-uled 40 over game at Memorial Park on Saturday, with Liam Rowling (bowling at left) chief destroyer with 5 wickets in the innings of 24 all out. A second informal game was played to pad out the afternoon, giving Wanderers batsmen like Bevan Muollo (right) some decent time at the crease.

TIM O’CONNELLThirty one is a credible, even a winning

score in the oval ball codes and a complete whitewash if you’re playing football or hockey.

But for the two senior Motueka Cricket Club sides taking to the home pitches at Memorial Park, such a score and even lower provided contrasting fortunes in the local second grade 40 over competition.

Motueka Black played Stoke-Nayland on the number one pitch and showed extreme hospitality by being dismissed for 31, with 19 extras being the top scorer followed by opener Allan Ball who scored 8. However, the match looked set for an interesting conclusion as Motueka’s opening bowler Sabby Chahal took the first three Stoke- Nayland wickets with the first three balls of their innings to snare his first-ever hat trick and give the home team a sniff at victory. Chahal took another two wickets to finish with 5 for the match, although Stoke Nayland were able to overhaul the total with two wickets to spare.

“It was definitely the most unusual game of cricket I’ve been involved with,” said Motueka Black player Mark Church as the team held an earlier than anticipated fines session post-match.

Across the park, Motueka White breezed to an easy 10 wicket win over Wanderers after dismissing them for just 24 runs.

Not surprisingly the Motueka openers made easy work of the chase, completing their task inside 6 overs. Liam Rowling was responsible for the lion’s share of the carnage in the field, taking 5 wickets and effecting a run out. With both games done and dusted by 2:30pm, Motueka White and Wanderers played a sec-ond game which included a much bigger bounty of big hits from both sides.
