$440,000 grant biggest for the Bay

last Tuesday’s Golden Bay Community Board meeting attracted around a dozen members of the public, several of whom fully exercised their right to speak on a range of topics. Pedestrian safety

Pam Burnett opened the public forum with a plea for Tasman district Council (TdC) to consider upgrading the roadside walkway on the corner near the former joan Whiting rest home. “We don’t want a fancy path; just make it safe.” Pam explained that the steeply sloping grass verge is hazardous and needs fixing, but TdC engineering services don’t see it as a priority. Councillors have visited the site and, in the light of Pam’s intervention, the board agreed to write to the council urging it to come up with a plan and obtain resource consent, which would allow contractors to level the ground.Gibbs Road drainage

keith Ballard observed that heavy rainfall had caused serious erosion on both sides of the Gibbs road walkway and he warned this was rapidly becoming another safety issue for

GB Community Board’s June meetingthe town. “The planted verge is falling into the gully. it’s undermining the pavement.”

Bj White concurred and explained that, in his view, the source of the problem lay further up the hillside. “a slip has led to gravel blocking culverts.”

Board chair Carolyn Mclellan suggested that a service request should be submitted to the council for contractors to clear culverts on a regular basis and before forecast heavy rain events.Whitebaiting sock nets

With the whitebaiting season due to begin shortly, Bj expressed concern over the imminent “rape and pillage” of whitebait stocks caused by the use of sock nets. “The Community Board should talk to the council.” Carolyn acknowledged the problem, but explained that it was a difficult one to address because the deployment of sock nets is allowed by law. however, it was agreed that the board would do what it could to effect a change in the regulations. “We will write another letter to dOC and to the Minister of Conservation.”

Collingwood CampgroundBj moved on to the subject of the future

of Collingwood’s campground. he proposed a change of use for the site, from camping to general recreation. “Turn it into a public space, shift the playground there and use it as an area where people can have picnics and access to the river.”

TdC community services manager Susan edwards later told the meeting that TdC owned the campground and it made a positive financial return to the council. however, she advised that TdC was currently assessing all their campgrounds and it would be Collingwood’s turn soon. “We will look at it in the next year or so.”TDC Takaka Service Centre

Council will be investing over $600,000 in the renovation of its Commercial Street building. jill Pearson questioned why TdC had paid $5000 to each of two unsuccessful tendering companies. TdC community services manager Susan edwards explained that developing detail plans and pricing was a costly exercise,... cont on page 2

GB Shared recreational Facility committee members are celebrating a major milestone for the project.

The Community Facilities Fund of the new Zealand lotteries Grants Board confirmed a grant of $440,000 to the Golden Bay project. it is believed that it is the largest single grant ever to come into the Bay.

The Community Facilities Fund makes two distributions of funds each year, totalling about $13 million. in the round just announced alone there were requests for $14 million worth of grants. Committee members say they are thrilled that the Golden Bay project has been recognised with such a significant sum. as the money comes from

lotteries, there are strict conditions attached to what it is allowed to fund.

“it’s specifically tagged for things that assist the community’s well-being through sport and recreation. We understand that and we’re more than happy to comply,” says committee chair dean lund. “To us, this feels like an acknowledgement of the fact that Golden Bay needs and deserves a proper facility. it’s a real vote of confidence. This grant from lotteries signs off our obligation to the council. That means that everything we raise from now on goes into the things that the user groups need and want. it’s about $200,000 we’re looking for now and we’ve got some good ideas about how that can happen.”

last Friday the project took a major step forward with the pouring of the concrete dancefloor in the function room of the new facility.

This week the committee called a meeting of all the user groups to share the good news and to update people on progress elsewhere in the project. Major naming sponsors have been found for various parts of the facility and negotiations are continuing. The community will be called on to help out with the remaining money but committee members say they are pleased to have raised so much money already and they are confident of reaching their targets.

“love and attention, this is what they need,” says Carol Wells. Photo: anita Peters.

local SPCa president and shelter manager Carol Wells has been caring for the Bay’s less fortunate animals for more than 30 years.

SPCa shelter facilities vary nationwide, but in Golden Bay they consist of a few cosy cages in Carol’s back yard. Good resources have been built up over the years, starting with just one building in 1989 to which a kittenry was added, and then another building was funded by internal affairs. an old laundry at the end of the shed was turned into the washing and feeding room with the “old faithful” washing machine dealing with ongoing laundry.

in april, however, staff from head office visited the shelter to discuss the new health and Safety laws, which have generated much concern for the future of Golden Bay SPCa. Carol feels the expectations are too stringent, make it problematic for the shelter to operate from her property, and also prevent her from accepting any new volunteers.

The SPCa’s national office in auckland oversees and administrates, but the 45 district branches around new Zealand are more concerned with local animals in their communities. Their managers are caring people; they deal with the results of cruelty and neglect, find homes for needy animals and assess others’ life prospects. Most regional shelters, like Golden Bay’s, are run by unpaid volunteers who manage the animals, the finances and other operations. Carol says most branches have evolved their own ways of working.

Carol deals mainly with cats and kittens; larger animals are generally referred to the nelson SPCa, as are issues involving cruelty and neglect since there is no inspector here. Birds need more specialised attention and are referred to a Golden Bay expert who takes on those found, hurt or abandoned. “i did have a hawk once,” explains Carol. “The local constable brought it up here. The next day we opened the cage and it just flew away; it had just been stunned. it was the only animal that has ever come by police escort.”

Given the huge time commitment, it is clearly a passion; these animals are part of her family.

“love and attention, this is what they need,” she says. “So often, cats that cross our path have had a pretty tough existence with probably no home at all. i have lived all my life on a farm, so animals have been my life, really. These animals are my responsibility; it’s up to me to make sure they go to the right place at the right time.”

in fact some never leave. “i’ve got one goat out there, he’s a refugee,” she laughs. “and all the other baby goats brought in off the Takaka hill by hunters, they’ve lived the rest of their lives here.”

There are also seven cats that have never left. “little Moo out there came last year on the brink of death. in fact she was so far gone i just rolled her up with hot water bottles in the washing basket and put her in the sun, and wondered where i was going to bury her. and i was talking on the phone one day and she opened an eye. i’ve just let her stay; she’s a beautiful little cat. She’s still got that itsy bit of wild in her. But she’s on my bed every morning when i wake up, waiting for breakfast.”

and then there’s Polly, who arrived as a newborn and was drip- and bottle- fed by Carol; elderly Tina; two part-feral cats deemed too unfriendly for adoption; and joseph, a “wild and savage” kitten. another new arrival just turned up from

Health and safety law poses problems for Golden Bay sPCa

nowhere, and is now in residence in the barn rafters. “When they come in, their personalities are already there.”

Through head office, regional centres do have access to various sponsors’ products. Purina this year signed a three-year sponsorship contract with SPCa. locally, other animal food costs are met by well-supported fundraising stalls and raffles, plus a supermarket food bin, to which people are warmly encouraged to contribute. a recent bequest of $1000 from a local person also helped boost the year’s funds.

Veterinary help is also paid for by fundraising. The SPCa has a good relationship with the local vets, who are always on call to help. Some feral cats need euthanasia, a last resort for Carol. however, 11 feral kittens caught in a trap one day were all successfully rehomed within four weeks. after eight or 10 weeks, taming and rehoming becomes much harder. last year, 21 kittens in total were rehomed, including six newborns that were raised in the “high dependency unit”, Carol’s kitchen.

The SPCa also runs a desexing programme. Many animals are spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter, but those too young take with them a 50 per cent voucher towards desexing, preferably at around six months of age. how can you help?

Carol is desperate for help with typing and emails for one or two hours per month, and a handy person for an hour or so every fortnight would also be a bonus. any surplus household cleaning products, kitten milk and specific kitten foods are always welcome, and donations of old clean towels, pillows and blankets are always gratefully received.

Meanwhile, life continues as usual. Caring for these animals is a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week task. Potential adoptees are advertised in The GB Weekly and appointments are necessary to view animals.

Going away requires planning. usually, volunteer and neighbour Chris Campbell, “who knows as much as me about what to do”, or another helper, joe Thompson, step in. “But if that cattery became empty tomorrow i’d probably try to do a runner,” chuckles Carol.

Continued from page 1...and by offering some recompense TdC encouraged

better quality submissions. She said the tendering process was now complete and the work should begin shortly. “We will award the contract very soon and hope to be in by Christmas.”

Following the public forum, the board discussed several other issues. Summer patrol

The board will request support from TdC for extending the six-week summer patrol of the council’s enforcement officer. The enforcement officer’s role would be expanded to encompass parking, freedom camping and dog-control bylaws. hanging baskets

With summer in mind, Carolyn said the hunt was on for a successor to Stuart Borlase who, for the last 30 years, has organised and watered Takaka township’s 182 hanging baskets. “We just need someone to turn the taps on and off.” it was agreed to place an advert in The GB Weekly.Car parks and road maintenance

The enlargement and sealing of theMotupipi Street car park should be completed in time for the upcoming tourist season, but there is still some uncertainty about council’s role in the maintenance of backblock roads, such as long Plain road. Councillor Martine Bouillir advised private landowners living along such roads to ensure that any maintenance agreements with council should be recorded and entered on to liMs.

Fortunately, there is much more certainty about the proposed Pohara-Takaka cycleway, according to Carolyn. “We’ve had two meetings of a very enthusiastic group. We just need the money.”

Community Board


every week of late, The Octagon at Patons rock has been ringing with the melodious sounds of the Golden Bay Choir rehearsing for its two upcoming winter concerts

These are a rare treat for locals and visitors. The choir tries to perform at least twice per year, but midwinter is usually a difficult time to hold a large concert in Takaka. Members hit on the idea of performing in some of the small rural halls, to celebrate these historic buildings at the heart of rural communities, and to bring the music out to people.

This year, the first two halls to act as hosts will be Puramahoi and east Takaka. The plan is for the choir to move around every winter to different halls in the Bay until it has performed in them all.

The Golden Bay Choir has been in existence for 33 years and has worked under five different directors, including Carl Browning from nelson.

The current Golden Bay Choir consists of 26 members of a wide age range. rehearsals leading up to a concert are held weekly, with some smaller groups doing extra sectional sessions together on particular parts.

The two july performances will include a wide variety of works, from classical to contemporary. added to the 14 choral pieces on the programme will be half-a-dozen extra items for this “variety” concert. “Some people in the choir will be doing other things like playing an instrument, singing a solo or duet, or doing a recitation,” explains choir member alexia russell. “it’s just a way to widen it out; making it a bit more interesting for the audience. We’re working on a fairly broad repertoire.”

The choir will also perform work by new Zealand composers. a well-loved waiata will be sung, as well as music created by Golden Bay composer Charles naylor around words written by Golden Bay poet Mona randall, a tribute from one artist to another.

Carole Gamby, one of the original choir members, said

Broad repertoire in rural hall gigs

there will also be a piece of music by Victoria university lecturer jonathan Berkahn. “We’ve been associated with him at Teapot Valley where several of us have attended 10-day workshops; the past three or four years jonathan has been the accompanist. he’s a brilliant pianist but he’s also done quite a lot of composing.”

Carole plays an important role by directing voice exercises prior to rehearsals and acting as accompanist for most of the concert pieces. The choir is conducted by master musician jochen Maurer.

These afternoon variety performances are definitely for all to enjoy and support. The motto “your donation will be our donation” is fitting, since entry is by koha and all net proceeds will be donated back to each particular hall.

“all of the halls will get something eventually, as we move around them,” explains alexia. “The concert will last around one hour 20 minutes. and then we’ll serve tea and coffee and cakes, because that’s also part of creating the energy and the atmosphere.”

lettersJoining the dots

Two letters in The GB Weekly (17/6) caught my eye.The first was about removing the grandstand to make way

for a parking lot (nothing’s changed, joni). The other was about the lack of walk/cycleways in Golden Bay. Both letters reflect the fact that, today, most spending on infrastructure favours motorised transport above human-powered transport. however, this wasn’t always the case, as is chronicled in the kennet brothers’ wonderful book Ride: the story of cycling in New Zealand.

a bit of joined-up thinking might lead to a different scenario today. instead of assuming the need for a huge increase in car parking at the new rec Centre, why not approach the issue from a prevention-rather-than-cure perspective? after all, you can deal with an expanding waistline by letting out your trousers – or by reducing your waistline.

if there were safe walk/cycleways in Golden Bay, more people would walk and cycle. This has been proved the world over. People could bike to the rec Centre, warming up for their sport on the way. Bike parks take up much less room, and are much cheaper to provide. There would be room for bike and car parking and for the grandstand as well. and we would be encouraging healthier lifestyles and reducing carbon emissions.

a win-win situation. Why not?liz Thomas

Thank you to the village Theatre here i was at our Village Theatre last Sunday, in

little Takaka, viewing the live performance of the royal Shakespeare Company in england, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. it was an unbelievable opportunity. i paid a mere $20, while those in the British audience may have paid at least 200 pounds.

not only did we see the greats of British theatre performing extracts of Shakespeare’s work, including dames judy dench and helen Mirren, Sir ian Mckellen, Benedict Cumberbatch etc, but also Britain’s royal Ballet and Opera Companys, hip hop and jazz. They even roped in Prince Charles to take a small role.

and we must never forget that it is due to Melanie and Gerard hindmarsh’s heroric efforts, initially, that we have the Village Theatre, the smallest town in nZ to have such a venue. read Gerard’s book Swamp Fever to learn how they did it. and thank you, thank you, thank you to the committee who run the theatre now and choose the very best of possible screenings. We are so lucky!

and thank you to the local audience who refrained from talking to each other during yesterday’s filming. it makes such a difference.

Rec Park grandstandThe more we research into the history of grandstands

in new Zealand, the more we realise just what a gem our grandstand is. But do have a look at the reefton racecourse Grandstand (www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/1687) built in 1891 and still going today (although its commentator’s tower is sadly not quite as dr Seuss as it once was).

Monday 27 june is the last day (for now) to sign the grandstand petition. it is still at Wholemeal Café, Golden Bay Pharmacy, de-lish delicatessen, Take note and hammer hardware. We thank the petition hosts once again for their contribution to this community cause.

a local newspaper wrote this about the first a&P Show with the grandstand: “The seventh annual Show of the Golden Bay agricultural and Pastoral association was held yesterday at Takaka, under most successful auspices. The attendance, as usual, was large. The residents of the Takaka Valley turned out in full force and the number was swelled considerably by visitors from Collingwood, Motueka, nelson and the Waimeas. The commodious grand stand, with the luncheon room and bar, which has been erected on the ground since last year, proved a great convenience, and added greatly to the completeness of the arrangements.”

despite repeated claims to the contrary, the truth is that there are no insurmountable obstacles preventing the grandstand from continuing to be, as it has for 117 years, a great convenience to the community, adding greatly to the completeness of arrangements at the showgrounds.

Bryony and jill Pearsonbully boys

i am in full support of Stu Percival’s fight against heavy-handed TdC control services tactics outlined by him last week (GBW letters 17/6).

Stu is a ratepayer, as am i. if he is denied the basic right to park discretely in a beautiful place for a night, this has terrible implications for us all. We must be extemely cautious of changes to freedom camping rules as they will be enforced on all of us. new Zealand was founded on access to, and enjoyment of, the outdoors for all. We, as a nation, signed the convention on human rights in the un, an article of which ensures freedom of movement within one’s own country.

Golden Bay is a special place of live and let live. no tolerance should be given to council campaigns against individuals and bully boys should be reigned in immediately.

duncan CavayeWomen in local Government

in October we’ll be electing our representatives on the Tasman district Council and Golden Bay Community Board. These are the people we love to hate, the people we moan about when we feel they’re not listening to us, they’re out of touch with what we value, and they treat Golden Bay as an inferior suburb of richmond.

The Statistics nZ website says “For the government to represent the population, it’s important that people from different groups - including both men and women - participate. representative governments engage diverse communities, draw on the skills of the broadest group of people, and provide checks on the use of political power.”

it also shows that women are elected in the proportion in which they stand. So to change the balance we need to have more women standing for public office. The present TdC has two women out of 14. That’s 14 per cent. The national average is 30 per cent.

So, let’s change things. if you’re a woman who cares about your community and wants Golden Bay to be the best place for your children to grow up, to work and live, and to grow old and retire – consider standing for the Community Board or Council. if you’re a man who cares for the same things – encourage your sister, wife, mother or daughter to stand. Skills and experience raising a family, budgeting, and listening to friends and community, are invaluable.

More women in public positions makes things better for women, and for everybody. Seize the opportunity.

liz ThomasClassic Collingwood heritage murals

as a Collingwood community enhancement project, i am drafting a grant proposal through the Making a difference (Mad) Skool, to paint a series of sepia murals depicting historic Collingwood buildings and residents on the sides of several buildings in Tasman Street, with their owners’ approval.

To help me design the murals, i am seeking more historical photos of the township and people. if you have any you’re willing to loan me, i’d be grateful to see them.

depicting these classic scenes on now-blank walls, along with plaques describing the town in the early 20th century, can only help make a difference to local businesses and the community, by enhancing Collingwood’s appeal as a tourist destination with both significant historical and scenic attractions.

For example, the 12m-long car park wall at Tinky’s Tavern can depict several two-storey buildings lost to fires: Montimore’s hotel/accommodation, Stallard’s and allan’s houses and the Post Office hotel. also, appropriately, the Collingwood Motors and Mcnabbs Motors buildings would be great painted on the Farewell Spit Tours office walls, near where they originally stood.

The proposals-in-progress are on display at the nganga rT Gallery, 15 Tasman Street. i welcome photos, memories, conversation and suggestions. Ph 021 107 6312.

Collingwood area School’s new principal Caroline Gray was formally welcomed to the school with a powhiri at the beginning of june, but the informal gifts and greetings just keep coming.

When The GB Weekly visited the school 10 days after the ceremony, Caroline was in the reception area collecting the most recent offering - a bouquet of brightly-coloured flowers.

The new head says she is genuinely bowled over by the kindness of Collingwood strangers.

“i’ve found the community incredibly welcoming. i’ve been inundated with cards, good wishes, food and flowers. lovely people have been leaving things on my doorstep – jams, chutneys and honey and all sorts of gorgeous things.”

S u c h g e n e r o s i t y speaks vo lumes abou t the connection between school and community – a relationship that Caroline places squarely at the heart of her agenda along with a deep commitment to child-centred education.

Before arriving at Collingwood, Caroline spent time in the capital to develop her understanding of modern educational practices with the intention of applying the approach in a more traditional setting. “i spent the last four years as principal of a Steiner school in Wellington, but i wanted to get back into mainstream education and knew that area schools were where i wanted to be.”

She was also eager to rediscover rural new Zealand following her urban interlude. “Before living in Wellington we spent 10 years in dargaville in the Far north, so we are adjusted to rural life.” Caroline’s husband Simon is an artist and a beekeeper, while their two grown daughters will visit during breaks in their university studies. “Both are at Otago. eden is finishing off her MSc and Pearl is in the second year of an english and art history degree.”

Caroline’s appointment marks a significant milestone in a personal and professional journey that began three decades ago and half a world away. “Simon and i met at art school in london. i trained to be a teacher and he carried on being an artist. We moved to Bristol in 1992 where i taught in very large multicultural schools.”

When the year 2000 came they knew they needed to do something really big, and ultimately decided to make a new life in new Zealand. “We knew about the treaty, we knew about new Zealand’s record in terms of social equity and modern political thinking. it was important for us to be part of a country looking forward.”

although keen to get here, Caroline, Simon and their young girls didn’t take the easy route. instead of hopping aboard a jumbo jet for 24 hours of movies and ready-meals, they spent 18 months on an overland family adventure, writing the story of their whānau’s arrival to Aotearoa along the way. “We converted an old land rover into a home, with drop-down tents and water tank.” in 2001, the family headed across europe but had to rethink their journey in the wake of the Twin Towers attack. “September 11 happened and we couldn’t get through the Middle east, so we shipped the vehicle to South east asia and spent time there rather than in india and Pakistan, as we had originally planned.”

Caroline says that the extensive trip demonstrated the value of learning outside the classroom, amongst other things. “By the time we arrived in new Zealand, we discovered our children could magically read and write, tie up their laces and tell the time – and that had all happened just because they’d met people.”

it’s this experiential approach to learning that Caroline seeks to develop in Collingwood. “i want to ensure that students are not just bound to the classroom, but learn about

new Cas principal: “this is where i want to come and settle.”

the practical application of what they are being taught there. The reason i moved into Steiner education was that i wanted to investigate a practical and fully integrated curriculum, where you are working in harmony with the landscape you live in, where you are learning skills that help you to become a citizen of the world, so that you can look after yourself and others.”

Caroline believes that this holistic ambition can be achieved while keeping all stakeholders happy. “it is possible to find an integrated approach where you can meet the needs of the individual child, the aspirations of the parents, but also embrace the expectations of the Ministry of education.”

and she feels that she is pushing on an open door. “at Collingwood i can see there’s already going to be synergy - i can tell that possibilities are already being explored.”

Caroline is also reaching out to the home-schooling community. “i want them to think about the opportunities that Collingwood offers.” She considers the school’s approach a good fit for home-educated students. “We want to match the needs of the children with personalised programmes, understanding and empathy.”

She understands her new school’s strengths. “i ask people to consider what’s here: The small class sizes, the impressive pastoral attention that’s given to all students – and the mentoring. There are high levels of supervision and care that you wouldn’t ordinarily get, and a family atmosphere that is often missing in larger schools. and there’s a really committed staff here – some truly excellent teachers.”

CaS’s finances and governance are in excellent shape too, according to Caroline. “i’ve come to a school that’s got well-managed budgets, good property management and very skilled support staff. i’m looking forward to working with the board [of Trustees].”

She is also looking forward to establishing connections with the local iwi. “When we were in dargaville we joined a marae there and worked with tangata whenua to learn about the land and our place in it.” a traditional red, white and black feathered cloak hangs on the back of her office door. “My korowai was a gift from Te ati awa in Wellington to me and to this school.”

after the previous principal’s surprise departure last december, Caroline has some reassuring words for the Board of Trustees and the community. “it’s important for people to know that it’s a long-term move. i’ve come from a much larger school and i’ve made decisions based on what i’ve learned as a principal to know that this is where i want to come and settle.”

just chillin’: local contractors have recently installed a novel piece of cooling kit on Mark Strange’s dairy farm. From left, Wendy Strange, Frank Van Grunsven, Mark Strange, Steven Strange, alan Williams. Photo: jo richards.

One Golden Bay farmer is looking beyond today’s skinny returns in the dairy market and investing in the future of his business.

Mark Strange, who runs a herd of 370 on the outskirts of Collingwood, has just installed a novel piece of kit which provides rapid on-demand cooling at milking time.

its lustre may have dimmed over recent years, but “white gold” is still a precious commodity and it’s never been more important to look after it all the way from the udder to the road tanker. That means keeping it cold and clean to prevent harmful bacterial growth – not so easy when the stuff comes out of the cow at 38°C. unsurprisingly, the Ministry for Primary industries’ rules and regulations around storage and handling of milk are pretty tight - and the regulatory screw is to be tightened further from june 2018.

“it’s about compliance; the old system wasn’t doing it,” says Mark.

The new temperature regime requires the heat to be taken out of the milk fast. “Fonterra specifies it has to be at [+]6 °C within two hours of the end of milking.” in Mark’s case the milk enters the vat at 3°C, so his vat refrigeration unit is kept on standby unless the stored milk temperature reaches 5°C.

Many farmers will be forced to beef up their existing cooling systems to meet the 2018 standard. They can choose from a number of options, but Mark decided to go with a Packo ice Bank cooling system. dairy Cooling Solutions (part of eurotec) are the new Zealand distributors of the Belgian technology, and the company’s sales engineer Tom Brown oversaw the Strange farm project. a trio of local contractors featuring Frank Van Grunsven on refrigeration, alan Williams on heat-exchangers and nick riley on wiring and switch-gear, did all the installation work. Frank hopes it will be the first job of many for the team, who plan to roll out the technology across the Bay over the next few years.

in the meantime, Frank is chuffed that Mark’s ice Bank is not only the first for his team, but also the first in Golden Bay and the first to be installed on the Mainland.

The cooling kit may be cutting edge, but it’s thoroughly tried and tested and fully supported by dairy Cooling Solutions (dCS) and Packo, says Tom. “dCS have had nearly 20 units installed and operating in the Waikato and Far north over the last 12 months, so we know it works.”

The ice Bank produces and stores a reserve of ice that can be used to make large volumes of chilled water at very short notice. The zero-degree liquid is then pumped through a heat exchanger and rapidly cools a counter flow of milk quickly and efficiently without freezing it.

The main benefits of this ingenious technology are that chillers don’t need to be switched on during milking, farmers don’t have to invest in large cooling units, and they can potentially eliminate the requirement for precooling bore or creek water. But there is a further bottom-line bonus, according to Tom. “The unit runs at night to build up the ice reserve, so it saves on electricity costs by using cheaper rates where available.”

dairy nZ estimates that milk cooling accounts for about 30 per cent of the total energy costs of operating a dairy.

Fortunately for farmers, they can reap rewards without forking out for a completely new setup as an ice builder unit can be integrated into their existing cooling system. The size of the herd essentially determines the capacity of unit required and, of course, the size of the bill. Mark estimates that for his system, which is designed to handle 10,000 litres per day and features a monitoring system that sends him SMS alerts, the total cost amounted to around $55,000. “That’s for the complete package up and running.”

he’s matter-of-fact about the constant changes in the industry. “you’ve got to ride the highs and lows.”

Content that his dairy shed is now future-proofed – at least for a few years, Mark has the demeanour of a man who knows he’s made a sound investment – in fact he appears to be quite chilled.

The name of the new Bhumlutar/Golden Bay Friendship School in nepal reflects a remarkable connection between Bhumlutar village and some Golden Bay locals.

after nepal’s devastating earthquake in april 2015 (and following aftershocks, avalanches and landslides), Thomas (Taj) rabosky, kees Brinkman and rita Scholten formed Golden Bay Friends of nepal to fundraise for the village of Bhumlutar. a total of $6,741.30 (and counting) has been raised, with the support of many local businesses as well as individuals.

Taj rabosky had travelled to nepal many times and had strong connections with Bhumlutar, especially with achni dev, a local teacher. achni is overseeing the distribution of funds to the village and the rebuilding of its ruined school.

“achni can’t believe that people over the other side of the world are thinking of him and his village, and is so grateful.”

Taj describes achni as “such a special person….and kept in touch as i travelled. he was always a ray of happiness.” Taj says that after the earthquakes, however, he knew “from the tone of [achni’s] emails that he was in a pretty dire situation and so we starting providing some help, and it has grown into a really neat project”.

Bhumlutar village is off the trekking route in nepal and did not receive any help after the earthquake. rita, her partner Stef jongkind and their three teenage children were in nepal when the 2015 earthquake struck and had just passed through the affected areas. Via Golden Bay Friends of nepal they decided to support the village.

Golden Bay Friends of nepal initially raised funds for food, water, medicine, blankets, house construction materials, hospital visits, mosquito nets, rain tarps and blankets. The next round of fundraising money (in august -September 2015) was used for materials to rebuild the school.

Bhumlutar, nepal says “thank you Golden Bay”

rita says that the village reconstructed the school in only five weeks, and worked 14 hours a day on it. Some of the funds were also used to buy chickens for the village, and now, with 65 purchased, eggs and chicks are sold and the funds raised are used in the upkeep of the school. achni dev worked to rebuild the school and is now the sole teacher, working in a voluntary capacity. The school has 60 children. another 30 from other villages are registered and would like to attend.

Taj is returning to Bhumlutar in early july. he is looking into the possibility of taking several laptops or tablets for the children to use in the classroom: preferably a group of laptops that have the same chargers and operating systems, “so that it’s easier for the kids to learn the same system.” he would be happy to hear from anyone who may be able to donate such a set.

he is also hoping to take achni dev and a couple of other villagers to a nearby organic gardening course with the aim of helping the village start a community garden.

“Further aims for the village are solar lights at the school, a water filter for drinking water, the construction of a kitchen and a separate eating room.”

Taj says that none of this would be possible without the strong commitment and meticulous record keeping of achni dev.

“it humbles me and amazes me that he is yet to ask for one penny for payment or salary for his time. he is just so grateful that he has friends in the little community here in new Zealand that want to help and want to provide assistance. he sends me lots of emails expressing that gratitude and that love.”

Golden Bay Friends of nepal would like to thank the many local business and locals who have supported them over the past year. recently, the group has received new Zealand

charitable status, says Taj. “now we’re recognised by nZ charities commission as a

legitimate fundraising organisation, it will enable us to reach out and do some bigger and more substantial fundraising on different platforms.”

They are also opening Golden Bay friends of nepal to membership. The annual fee is $25 and information evenings will be held on a regular basis throughout the year with suggestions of how members might like to become involved.

donations (100 per cent of which will go to Bhumlutar) can be made into the Golden Bay Friends of nepal bank account at: nBS (account number: 03-1354-0368990-000).

nelson-based mortgage adviser anna McClure realised a long-held ambition when she moved to Golden Bay back in February, and says she is more than happy with her new life.

“i have no regrets, none at all. i’ve fallen in love with the place and i’ve been blown away by the diversity here.”

Currently working out of her Takaka home, anna is getting out and about working as a “loan ranger” for her new company, Better home loans. “i’m often on the road with my laptop and mobile phone.”

The timing of her move is impeccable. ripples from the overheated auckland housing market have finally reached our local shores, bringing the prospect of rising prices and the long-forgotten sight of buyers scrambling to get their hands on property. anna warns that, to avoid missing out, buyers need to be prepared. “it’s a seller’s market, so if you are looking to buy, you need to have your finance ready.”

anna says this is where she can help by cutting the financial cloth to tailor bespoke home loans for prospective buyers. “i get the best finance package for my clients’ unique needs.”

although she is an independent adviser, anna is backed by the new Zealand Financial Services Group and can access loans from over 20 banks – including all the big names as well as niche lenders – some of whom she says offer particularly attractive deals. “Taranaki Savings Bank has some great interest rates at the moment.”

anna acknowledges that affordability is an issue in the Bay where jobs are often seasonal and wages are subject to a “sunshine tax”. But when she crunches the numbers for first-time buyers it often reveals a realistic prospect of home ownership, she says. “They are surprised how much they can afford.” it also helps that anna’s services come free to her clients.

mortgage adviser settles in

The surprise frequently felt by first-timers is the result of cheap borrowing, free access to kiwiSaver funds and the government’s homeStart grant, explains anna. “Couples can pull out $70,000, which will get them into a $350,000 home.”

Whether the funds are for doer-uppers, new builds, lifestyle blocks or commercial properties, anna says that loans can be lined up in a matter of days. “all it takes is a quick phone conversation and a meeting.” Most of the necessary paperwork can be done online, which speeds things up dramatically. “it’s really fast: just three to five days to get the money.”

anna’s flexibility ensures that the process is convenient as well as quick. “i operate outside of normal banking hours, so it’s handy for customers and it’s often easier for clients if i go to see them.”

But it’s not all work for anna, who is soaking up the culture of her new home. “i’ve done courses on weaving, eco-dyeing and food fermentation. and i’m learning about Māori language and culture at the marae.”

Rogues 1 v GBHS 0. Some intense play resulting in some sprig prints in the foot and a ball to the chin for Jamal and Lucas respectively.

Hoihos won by default to Drastixs. An intense six on five reduced field game was played that brought about a friendly half-time debate on what obstruction (and hacking) actually are. Good play and some great goals by both teams. 7-7 was the final score.uRuWhenua Women’S inSTiTuTe

We met for our monthly meeting at the Takaka Fire Brigade rooms and were greeted there by firemen Andy, Tim and Don. Our programme for the day was a talk and film show from them. Good information on the 10-year fire alarms, on fire blankets and so many other things to be aware of: overloaded power boards; cheap power boards; covering burning pots and pans; exit plan; and so on. Members really enjoyed the talk and the discussion afterwards. The meeting followed and a donation was given to them in appreciation of their time and the work they do. A report on the remit day in Motueka was given and members thoughts were simiar to other WIs on these remits. President Nancy Ward is off to conference in Wellington and good wishes were extended to her for a good conference. A cuppa and social time was then enjoyed by all.

another great club day at recreation Park , last Saturday, as Takaka Senior B achieved a great win against rangers 32-31 with a converted try in the last five minutes. rangers thought they had won with a final score of 34 but the referee confirmed the result.

Takaka lacked several key players due to injury and drew upon their bench to provide fresh legs late in the game.

Sideline and embankment support was strong and vocal and the home sponsors seated in the Solly’s Freight grandstand enjoyed the sunshine, scrums, tries and goals from the sideline.
