By Tim O’ConnellWhile the rest of the South

Island encountered rain, snow and pestilence it was typical Tasman sunshine at Kaiteriteri Beach on Sunday as hundreds descended on the shoreline for the Riwaka School Mid-Winter Festival.

Bands, performances and the standard array of hot and tasty food made for a welcome way to spend a winter morning, while children were entertained by bouncy castles, mini jeeps and trains as well as a big dig for

A duck and dip kind of day for winter fest

prizes around the golden sands.The main attractions of the day

were the mid-winter dip and the duck race, both of which drew plenty of entries from locals and out of towners keen to support Riwaka School.

Fairies, bumblebees and superheroes were among the costumes on display as the swim-mers gathered for the former.

Jeanette Clark from Lower Moutere was found in pre-plunge contemplation of the icy fate that awaited her.

“Everyone has their bucket list

of things to do, and this is one of mine,” she said.

With the tide in for the 11am start of the dip there was a very short run from the shore to the ocean, leaving the hundred or so brave folk who entered little time to chicken out.

Admirably, a handful managed to remain in the water for an extended period of time to milk the moment, although it should be noted that most of these peo-ple were female.

For the rest however, the sequence of events once sub-

merged was akin to someone abruptly hitting the rewind button on a DVD.

The duck race was a slightly more drawn out affair, yet attract-ed just as much interest as the earlier event, although it wasn’t long before the nature of inani-mate object racing set in and a good portion of the entered ducks were soon bobbing listlessly in the lagoon,

Speaking to the Guardian after an extremely successful day in the sun, Riwaka School Principal Fraser Campbell was ecstatic

with the public response to the event.

“There was just a real good buzz around the place and a real connection between the commu-nity and school,” he said.

Showing leadership and immense fortitude, Mr Campbell took to the water for the dip along with Deputy Principal Katherine Sefton, a feat which he says was “better than coffee”.

The Mid-Winter Festival raised close to $9000 for the school, a total which is believed to be up on previous years.

Follow upThe Youth Summit Follow Up, will take

place at the Top Ten Holiday Park on 29th June. “We are trying to get as many peo-ple along as possible, as supporting our young ones is so important for Motueka’s Future,” said spokesperson, Marien O’Donnell

Unfaithful male!

The kiwi continue to surprise Friends of Flora. “One of the Deep Creek pairs split up despite having bred every year since they were trans-located. Within 10 days Whakangangahu, the male, had moved 3.5 km and paired up with Te Kau, a single female. Interestingly, they’re now residing adjacent to Te Kau’s earlier territory, rather than in it. Meanwhile Toro-ngangara, his previous mate, remains single. Let’s hope there is another Cobb bachelor out there for her.”

Family Violence Awareness EveningThere are times in our lives, when we feel concerned about violence

occurring within a family we know. Shouted abuse, put downs, slaps or punches – whether physical or psychological, this abuse is not always identified as Family Violence. Whether we experience it personally or hear of it within our own families, our neighbourhoods or with the folk we work with, we need to be aware of what we can do to get help. The “Are you OK?” and “It’s OK to ask for Help” campaigns have increased the public’s confidence in showing concern for those we know to be at risk. To find out more about what you can do for the vulnerable in our com-munity, please come along to the Motueka Women’s Support Link and the Be Well Team at Community House’s Family Violence Awareness Evening this Thursday 25 June, 6.30 – 8.30pm at Community House. Working in conjunction with Community House, and with funding from the Collaboration of Agencies, the evening will facilitated by Rae Dozell who will joined by Guest Speakers from Women’s Support Link, the Police Family Violence Coordinator and Family Start.

Everyone is Welcome and supper will be provided.

Time capsule opens soon!In 2006, American Sculptor, Kate Pond, approached Mapua School

to site a sculpture in the school grounds as part of her World Sculpture Project. These sculptures are designed to focus on the sun and act as a giant sun dial, Mapua School is one of five places around the world where Kate’s works are sited. Alongside the sculpture, a time capsule was made by Christine Boswijk where students were able to put a postcard size piece of their artwork. Also included were art works from schools in Sendai, Japan and Vermont, USA which were two other sites of Kate’s sculptures. This time capsule is displayed in the school reception area. The “Telling Stones” sculpture was unveiled in December 2007 and the time capsule is due to be opened on 4 December 2015. Everyone is invited to attend this occasion -made even more special as the school celebrates its centenary this year. For further information on Kate’s World Sculpture Project visit www.katepond.comm There is also a short video on this link showing the opening of the Mapua School installation.

Movie on lineFriends of Flora’s A.G.M. was held in a new venue - the Motueka Sports Pavilion and attracted the biggest attendance ever. The keynote speaker was acclaimed filmmaker, actor and naturalist Peter Hayden, narrator of Owen Kilgour’s Friends of Flora short movie. After a screening of the movie Peter spoke to his new book “An Extraordinary Land: Discoveries and Mysteries from Wild New Zealand”. Owen’s wonderful movie which shows the delights and lurking dangers in Kahaurangi may be viewed on www.fof.org.nz

Kea arrivingThis is the season where we may see more kea activity around the

place. Andrea Goodman of the Kea Community Trust says ‘having kea visit your home does not necessarily mean they will cause trouble. Problems can occur if kea get fed or are encouraged to ‘play’. Once you feed them, it can be pretty tricky to get them to move on.

The Kea Conservation Trust website is a great place to look for kea proofing ideas. We also encourage anyone to submit their creative ideas. If kea are causing a problem at your place first check out the website for solutions. If those ideas don’t work, give Andrea a call 0210394214.

$425,000 from Lotteries “The most exciting thing we’ve done at the school since its inception

and now its time to press the button and get on with it” is how Chairman of the Board of Trustees Ian Palmer describes the news that Motueka High School has secured funding for its Cultural Education Centre. “We can say the project is now moving,” said Principal Scott Haines. “Within two weeks the netball courts, that are the site of the new flagship building will be removed.” The 190 square metre building will include a teaching space, a commercial kitchen, toilets and showers, and it is to begin in September. It’s expected to be complete by April 1st next year.

Briefly

WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE 2015 3

Motorists travelling along High Street in the last few days will have noticed a pair of electronic signs acting as reminder to be on the lookout for youngsters crossing the road at all times of the day and night.

From 8.15am to 9am then 2.30pm to 3.15pm- during peak pick up and drop off times these signs are set up so they alternate between dif-ferent screens with the words school crossing ahead, please slow down followed by a smiley face (see photo, right).

Then at the other times of the day the screens show the driver’s speed and if they were travel-ling at less than 50km/hr they would get the smiley face and the words thank you.

The initiative has been running outside Motueka South School from Monday June 15 and will continue for the rest of this week.

Motueka South School Deputy Principal Linda Beatson says the initiative has worked well with a noticeable change in driver behaviour.

“It certainly has slowed the traffic down in the last fortnight,” she said.

“It’s a nice positive way of encouraging people to keep to the speed limit and just be aware that there is a school nearby.”

While hopeful of something more permanent in the future, she is grateful to at least have some-thing in place to enable a safer crossing area along the southern end of High Street.

Tasman District Council’s Road Safety Co-ordinator Krista Hobday said speed counter tests that had been conducted at the School’s High Street location at the start of the initiative had largely yielded predictable data, with motor-ists speeds recorded at an average of 50km an hour, ‘give or take’, she said.

Mrs Beatson was grateful to the work Ms Hobday had done to get the signs put in place.

“She’s been a good friend of the school in terms of trying to find solutions that are economi-cal that can be put in place to keep our children safe,” she said.

“Smile!”

Street talkLiterary knowledge was the big topic at the Motueka Public Library’s Annual Book Quiz this week- but what exactly is so great about reading, kids?

Amy Tapawera “It describes going into another world”

HannahTapawera“If the book ends and it’s not part of a series, then you can imagine anoth-er ending.”

RosaTapawera“It’s not reality, but sometimes it makes

more sense.”

Jacob Tapawera“I like the excite-ment of it.”

By Tim O’ConnellA month’s worth of

votes from Motueka’s petrol pumping public have been tallied and four lucky recipients have been given a wel-come cash injection to help their organisation run a little easier.

Motueka branch-es of Riding for the Disabled, Playcentre, Victim Support and a Breast Cancer Support Group were the recipi-ents of this year’s Good in the Hood ini-tiative.

A total of $4000 was allocated to every Z station across New Zealand to be divided between four nominat-ed community groups.

How much each group receives from that total is determined by the number of orange tokens that are dropped in the respec-tive charities’ box by Z customers in store.

Once the month long voting period came to a close on May 31, the Breast Cancer Support Group was shown to have more tokens dropped in than the others, subsequently earning them a cheque for $1436, which

was presented to Co-ordinator Melissa Allen by Matt Morris, General Manager of Z Bowaters.

“That’s what good about this- it focusses on local people and comes from a general public vote, and it’s a really great initiative” said Mr Morris.

He also noted that there was a reason-ably even allocation of funds across the four charities here in Motueka in compari-son to other sites.

“It’s a real good spread here whereas we noticed in Nelson the lowest was $540 and then you had the other ones up in the thousands.”

Victim Support Chairperson for Motueka-Golden Bay Pamela Smale was extremely grateful for the donation to her organisation and expressed her thanks to Z, as well as taking the time to acknowl-edge the great job that the other chari-ties did for the com-munity- most nota-bly that of Melissa’s organisation.

“Not everyone has

had the experience of being a victim, but most people have had an experience within their families of someone who has had Cancer,” she said.

“It’s scary but the truth is there is a lot of it out there,” conceded Melissa.

For Melissa, dressed appropriately in the standard pink get-up synonymous with the Breast Cancer cause, Wednesday’s dona-tion offers a nice little boost in continuing to for the five ladies who currently benefit from the service.

After starting the Motueka Breast

Cancer Survivors on her own three years ago, Melissa has since engaged with the national support group to grow a com-passionate network for the district.

Often it’s some-thing as simple coffee and chat is the best outlet for the women who come along to the group each week, given that they are in the company of like-minded folk who have been on a simi-lar path in battling the disease.

“It’s a place you can go and everyone knows how you’re feeling- there’s no

need to explain why you feel like you do,” she said.

“To me, breast can-cer is tied up with all your emotions and not just the physical side and that’s what people have trouble coming to grips with sometimes.”

Also on hand to receive their donations were Colleen Buenz and Pip Peacocke from Motueka Playcentre as well as Jen Doyle from Motueka RDA.

Along with the $4000 donated to the four recipients, an extra $1000 is set aside by Z for local projects throughout the year.

Yay to Z- it’s no token gesture

International Women’s Day award to AlisonBy Jane WellsIt’s not every day that a New Zealand woman

receives an Australian award but Kaiteriteri resident, Alison Dean has done just that in being awarded the International Women’s Day Achievement Award 2015 by the Australian Government.

For some years now Alison has been Station Leader on one or the other of Australia’s four Antarctic bases, summer and winter, in charge of everyone and everything.

Her award says she is being recognised “for her exemplary, collaborative and resilient leadership while maintaining a supportive and respectful role in the Antarctic community.” And Alison is pretty chuffed “I’m quite proud of getting the award; it’s recognition of a job well done.

”It’s no mean feat keeping morale high with around 100 summer personnel, and 18 to 20 winterers.

It’s no mean feat keeping morale high

with around 100 summer personnel, and 18 to 20

winterers.

“The most important part of my job is monitor-ing morale and making the most of the teams’ talents and potential. I love meeting and developing a new team, then watching how the dynamic unfolds. They’re all experts in their own fields.”

“If I notice someone is isolating themselves or if work is not up to standard, I work with the station doctor and a team of professionals in Australia to solve any problems”

Alison studied at Canterbury University rather later than most, when her son was at high school, and then went on to Monash University in Melbourne before beginning work as a geolo-gist on a survey in the Tanami desert of the Northern Territory.

“It was harsh and very hot and I got tired of working in temperatures up to 51degrees centigrade.”

So what did she do but apply for a job in Antarctica!

Before she knew it she was surrounded by ice and snow and for three months she lived in a tent with just her field guide for support and company on the Dyer Plateau of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Between blizzards she sampled rocks that tied in with the last of her Canterbury University studies on the Chatham Islands.

There she investigated the geochemical fin-gerprint of rocks, with a probable Antarctic ori-gin. She looked at the time when New Zealand and the Chathams were along the margin of Antarctica.

New Zealand and the Chathams were

along the margin of Antarctica.

“Antarctica really fascinates me. I have a passion for the place,” said Alison. After her three year contract finished the British offered her a position of Base Commander on South Georgia.

Her role changed from field studies to logis-tics and personnel. She did two years as base Commander at King Edward Point, another at Bird Island and she went to Rothera on the mainland Antarctica.

As station leader at Rothera Alison met the head of the Australian Antarctic programme. “Why don’t you come and work for us?” he asked.

With a total of 7 winters and numerous sum-mers under her belt the only thing she misses is her family and the colour green.

Wintering over, when it can be dark for 24 hours and you are isolated for up to eight months from when that last plane or ship leaves there many ways to keep occupied.

Besides work at most stations there’s a gym, an extensive library and internet access.

A novel competition is the annual 48 hour Antarctic Film Competition.

“Every film must contain certain things the same, for example one winter it had to have a mop, mouthwash and the phrase “Where’s my chicken”. All contributing bases vote. And there’s always the beard challenge.

Towards the end of September a major task is the preparation and grooming of the skiways. By November and December ships bringing sci-entists and all the food and supplies for another year begin arriving.

‘ One of my favourite things about the Australian stations

is that they all have hydroponics in the depth of winter ‘

One of my favourite things about the Australian stations is that they all have Hydroponics in the depth of winter. It’s amazing to have fresh lettuc-es, tomatoes, cucumbers and a variety of herbs.”

Arriving back in civilisation takes a bit of adjust-ing to, “some are apprehensive about returning. We haven’t had to attend to day to day things like shopping, there have been no locks and some-one has always cooked for us.

In the restaurants of Hobart we have been known to just walk out after our meals, so now we always leave a credit card at the beginning!”

Alison works on expedition cruise ships during her stints away from the Antarctic.

She has sailed in the Artic, Atlantic and the Pacific as a geologist and zodiac driver. Life is full, interesting and varied.

She supports cruise ships going into Antarctic waters.

She believes the more people know the place and feel passionate about it the better, as long as the International Antarctic Tour Operators guide-lines are followed.

“If we want to save a place we can’t reserve it just for scientists. It’s a place for research and peaceful purposes. “

We should all take an interest in what goes on there.”

Police ReportCrimestoppers: totally anonymous information line: 0800 555 111

By Tim O’ConnellThe work of a

respected local char-ity has been given a shot in the arm with a recent influx of essen-tial items to assist in meeting the needs of the district’s less for-tunate.

A $500 donation from the Motueka Lioness Club has enabled the Motueka centre of The Salvation Army

Donations keep Sallies cooking

to purchase some sturdy cookware and knives to assist with feeding the folk who come along to Body and Soul (community meal), these meals take place each week at their Greenwood Street centre.

The generosity then continued as Lily Berman from Up the Garden Path Café dropped by to hand

over a substantial con-tribution to the food bank.

Customers were encouraged to bring in items to add to the array of food that Lily and her team had put together, making it a real community col-laborative contribution.

For The Salvation Army, there is seldom an overabundance of goods when it comes

to the local Food Bank which is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday in addition to their 5:30pm Thursday evening meal.

Having donations such as this latest batch means those who are in need won’t miss out and enables their operating budget to be used for food and other forms of direct aid instead of going towards overheads costs.

“(The Food Bank’s) not empty today because we’ve been blessed- but generally there is a big demand in our community,” said Manager of Community Ministries Motueka Trindi Walker.

Mrs Walker says The Salvation Army are kept busy with approx. 40 people attending meals alone at this time of year, with num-bers peaking to 65 closer to Christmas.

For many, the chance to enjoy some fellowship with others is just as important as having something to eat.

“It’s more than a meal because we give them a message

and we do things like acknowledge their birthdays- for some of them that’s the only birthday they’ll get,” Trindi states.

“For those who come here it’s like hav-ing one big extended whanau,”

For the Lionesses, giving some worth-while goods to a worth-while cause is all in a day’s work,

“We look for people who need money- we make a lot of dona-tions to children who are going away and the like, and we give some to other ones like Plunket,” said Lioness Jenny Wills.

“People don’t real-ise what we do some-times- there’s just a few of us doing it but we gave away $14,000 last year,” added fellow member June Cross.

“We do a good job because people like these support us,” said Trindi.

“The community are very much behind us and we’re all doing this together which is a good feeling to have because not all com-munities are like Mot.”

The Motueka Lioness Club was one of two recent donors of essen-tial items to assist the Motueka Centre of The Salvation Army’s work in the community. Lily Berman from Up the Garden Path was also acknowledged for her kind donations toward keeping the Food Bank topped up. Pictured are (from left) Motueka Lioness Club members Jenny Wills, June Cross, Margaret Harris, Joan Wright and Trindi Walker from the Salvation Army.

ENROL NOWENROL NOWSTARTS

JULY 20

By Tim O’Connell A local dance teach-

er is almost ready to conduct her classes at a new studio, with an upcoming showcase at Memorial Hall hope-fully providing the final push for funding the vision, as well as mak-ing space for a whole new batch of dance superstars.

After teaching dance for a number of years in Christchurch before moving to Motueka nine years ago, Director of Revolution Dance Sarah-Jane Sauer says the spark to run her own dance studio has been a slow burning dream since the age of twelve.

“Ever since I was lit-tle all I wanted was my own studio, so it’s pretty exciting that it’s finally happening and moving into our own place is even more exciting- kind of makes it a little bit more real,” she says.

With travel goals accomplished and the desire to settle in Motueka with her partner Simon strong enough to begin mak-ing long-term plans, Sarah- Jane began Revolution Dance just over a year ago.

Currently running her dance classes from the hall at St Peter Chanel School close to 40 kids between the age of 3 and 17 are put through their paces during les-sons in a variety of styles from jazz, tap, hip-hop, ballet and contemporary.

While the majority of her students are girls, although Sarah says that there are several boys who take hip-hop lessons.

With many attend-ing competitions local-ly as well as recent

trips to Blenheim and Christchurch, Sarah says the social aspect is as much a part of dancing as the disci-pline itself.

“Competitions are a really fun environ-ment and everyone supports everyone- it’s a really good place to make friends from around the country that you’ll have for life,” she says.

This enjoyment has led to success for a number of her charg-es, with a handful of placings at the afore-mentioned competi-tions, including Lucy Johnston who placed third in the Senior Musical Theatre Section at the New Zealand Dance Awards over Queens Birthday Weekend.

Another success story is Tasmyn Wilkins who placed 1st in jazz Solo

and Tap solo for under 12years at the Motueka/Nelson Dancing competitions back in Easter and 4th in the Jazz champion-ship in Blenheim over the past weekend.

The final stage of fundraising is a mid-year dance perform-ance at Memorial Hall on Sunday 28 of June from 2:30pm, where Sarah’s students will show off their skills in the hope of putting the finishing touches on a new facility.

“Flooring barres and mirrors- all the essen-tial things that a dance studio needs,” says Sarah-Jane.

Tickets cost $10 adults, $5 for stu-dents/ seniors and a gold coin for under 5s and are available on the door or by email-ing Sarah-Jane at [email protected].

Long-held dance dream realised

Lucy Johnston and Tamsyn Wilkins are two of Sarah Jane Sauer’s prodigy who will ben-efit from the new Revolution Dance studio.

By Tim O’ConnellAn empty paddock on Pah Street will soon

resonate with the sound of children at play, with some forward momentum confirmed on improv-ing the building and surrounds at the Motueka Kohanga Reo.

For the last 10 years a tremendous amount of saving and fundraising has taken place to realise the vision of having upgraded facilities, with nearly half of the $450,000 cost met directly through this.

Kim and Alf Ruri have been involved in the whanau- based programme since 2000 both as parents and in their present Kaiwhakahaere and Kaiako roles respectively.

Both see the new premises as a giant leap for the way the tamariki will be able to engage in activities into the future.

“This is our last big rehua (vision), fifteen years ago it started and this is the end of it,” says Alf.

Presently the Kohanga Reo can cater for up to 15 children from birth up until the age of six.

The new building will allow licensing for up to 30, as well as an extra two staff to complement the four Kaimahi presently employed.

Te Kohanga Reo o Te Awhina has been oper-ating since 1984 on the grounds of the Marae.

The current building- which was relocated from Nelson’s Hampden Street School- has become a special place of learning for the hundreds of local children who have benefited from the Te Reo immersion education provided.

However, the need for extra space and heating considerations- particularly on a cold Matariki morning- has prompted the need to seek improvements.

“It’s served us very well and it’ll probably serve us a bit longer, but we want to spread our wings,”

says Kim. “It has been a long ten years to get to where

we are today and the Whanau have waited long and patiently for this to become a reality.”

Kim puts the cost of the new Kohanga Reo building at approximately $450,000, with a scheduled opening for the project set for October this year once final building and reli-censing aspects have been signed off.

After an 18 month delay on finalising building consents the immediate focus is now on the acceptance of building tenders before the major work gets underway on the relocatable building that was purchased two years ago.

Included in the architect’s plans are a 732 square metre playground area plus vegetable gardens with a 109 square metre play space for indoor activities.

“We’re so excited and ready for the new whare, it means more kids and more space, which is going to be awesome,” says parent Nellie Bell.

Kim adds there is still a need to continue to fundraise as there is always something that their operational budget can’t meet. With this in mind the Kohanaga Reo is holding a massive garage sale & hangi fundraiser on 27th of June down at the Memorial Hall on Pah Street.

By Tim O’ConnellThe Motueka District Historical Association

is looking for tobacco, hops and timber to help complete their documentation of Port Motueka’s Centenary- well, photos of them at least.

With the 100 year anniversary of the Port’s opening set to take place in February 2016 a book is being compiled to coincide with the occa-sion.

The format is most likely to be a picture book, with a short passage to background each photo.

Port Motueka is now largely owned and used by Talleys for their fisheries operation. However, the wharf was initially built to service fruit exports during a boom time for shipping locally before there was adequate roading between Nelson and the rural districts.

Given the role that these industries have played in the development of the region and in the lives of many families, the book has been an enjoyable undertaking by those putting it together, and is expected to be well received by the community once it is made available for sale to the public.

Coralie Smith of the Historical Association says the timing is perfect for those who had

“A lot of people have said to us ‘when it gets cold or it’s rainy day I’ll get onto it’, so we’re hop-ing those people will get on and look,” she says.

After an initial call for photos and stories at the start of the year the response from the com-munity thus far has been extremely helpful in turning up archival gems to use in the book, from direct accounts of people’s experience through to reminders of long forgotten buildings that once stood.

Among those recounted are a church on Trewavas Street and a shop near the present roundabout on Everett Street.

Much has been provided regarding the Motueka Cool Store although more is required on some of the other businesses in earlier times.

Accounts of the locations history haven been given by Sir Peter Talley and former Harbourmaster Robbie Williams, as well as former wharf workers Rollo Wilkinson and Hank Piner.

Others have passed on stories told to them by relatives with a direct association to Port Motueka.

Yet despite the plethora of information already obtained by the Historical Association, there are still unanswered questions and clues to follow up on before the final decisions are made on what makes the cut.

The biggest holes in the research to date involve photos and information regarding the numerous cargos that came across the docks throughout the years as well as the firms that transported the goods.

With tobacco being transported in kegs for a period and hops most likely to have been loaded in bales, Mrs Smith believes that photos of these being put on the ships would provide very interesting additions to the book, should they be sourced.

Photos of grocery cargo and the transporting of cars and fuel by boat would be graciously accepted as well.

Also of interest are photos or a write up which shed some light on a plaque which was placed somewhere on the eastern extension on the wharf when the concreted section opened in 1924.

“The wharf was built in timber to start with and then it got a marine pest in it called teredo which went for that kind of hard wood, so they decided the next bit they would make it out of concrete- apparently there was a plaque put down some-where,” she says.

Information is also sought on the existence of a radio station operating from the wharf during the Second World War.

She said that writing the book has allowed the association to amass a very worthwhile archive that we can then open up for future research at their Research Rooms located at the Motueka District Museum.

Mrs Smith says that anything will be looked at and all stories will be heard- either at the Research Rooms on Tuesday or via email [email protected].

Last pieces of port history sought for book.

Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors Paul Wielandt, Pat Kennedy, Janina Mestyanek, and Billy Mitchell pictured with Coordinator, Lisa Hewett (in blue) after the monthly get together.BBBS is looking for more mentors and there will be a training ses-sion at the end of July. “If you want to have fun, act like a big kid, and make a difference to a little person and make a positive difference in the community then Big Brothers Big Sister is for you!” said Lisa. Look on the website and make contact www.bigbrothersbigsisters.org.nz

Want to make a difference?

There’s a unique day for Tasman and Nelson audiences – an invitation to come to Nelson Cathedral on Saturday 4th July and be sung to by 8 a cappella choirs from across the Top of the South in the fabulous acoustic of Nelson Cathedral. It should be an uplifting, atmospheric performance and it will sparkle with candlelight.

The 3pm matinee and the 7pm evening performance will feature over 150 singers from Greymouth, Nelson, Motueka and Golden Bay. The com-bined repertoires cover most continents of the world – and offer a colourful palette of harmonies and rhythms. The choirs will also join voices to sing as one – a thrilling mass choir representing the many beating hearts of our region.

Choirs include Inakord which has been based at Riverside Community since 1998. It’s an ‘open-access’ group with no auditions required, just a love of singing together. Repertoire includes songs from around the world in English and other languages – acapella style, in 3 & 4 part harmony. This friendly & social group is led by Barbie Cole, Verena Gruner and Jill Seeney.

‘Sunday Gospel’ loves to sing songs – African/American Gospel and related styles - informal, acapella style in 4-part harmony. This is another Community Choir led by Riverside’s Barbie Cole.

Te Manawa, a vibrant all women world music choir, the Community Choir based at Nelson’s Boathouse,Taize, and Nelson’s oldest world music choir, Mosaic will also be there. Golden Bay’s Zing is coming over the hill while Waiata Koha is travelling up from Greymouth.

“Audiences can expect a rich and varied tapestry of song from this heart-warming and eclectic gathering of the region’s inclusive amateur singing groups. Many of these singers do not read music, may be relatively new to singing and have come together for the sheer love of making music in a group. “

Entry is by koha and the doors of the Cathedral open 30 minutes before each performance.

Choirs by candlelight

Last year when the choirs gathered in Motueka’s Memorial Hall they all went to the Sunday Market where they entertained everyone.

They and 60 others gathered Saturday at the Motueka Band rooms for Nancy’s 90th birthday celebrations. In recognition of Nancy’s Scottish heritage Sue, her niece from the Coromandel piped her into the feast and later led in her birthday cake carrying twin sons. Sunday the family marched behind, piping Sue along the Marahau foreshore joined by a number of overseas visitors. “I had a won-derful birthday!” Nancy declared.

By Tim O’ConnellWritten and directed by teacher Robynne

Jephson and compellingly performed by a cast of over 35 students from all year levels, ‘We’ll Meet Again’ is a production that demonstrates Motueka High School’s superb capabilities in performing arts as well as offering a reminder of the trials that affected many households in those turbulent years between 1939-1945.

With 12 central characters spread far and wide in the spectrum of war involvement, there are some fascinating stories told over the 90 minutes running time.

From the struggles of service men and women on the frontline in North Africa or Europe through to the repercussions of their absence felt by those left behind.

It centres on the Carson family and the expe-riences of the two sons Ted and Artie (Luken Bisley and Dasha Thomas-Marshall) who follow in father Archie’s footsteps in taking up arms.

Also signing up for action is local boy Jack Jenkins who opts for the Air force and brothers Hems and Charlie Tamihama who join the Maori Battalion.

The contribution of women in overseas service is also portrayed with characters Ruth Brown and Sally Jenkins doing the hard yards as Nurses in France and in the London Blitz, where they encounter a young Princess Elizabeth (Tia Baker-Hutton in an uncanny resemblance to the future monarch) helping out amongst the rubble.

Meanwhile at home, Mae Carson and her friend Annie find life a bit less mundane with the arrival of American Servicemen, which results in bad news for Annie’s boyfriend Eddie Brown (Michael Cox), who has opted out of staying on the family home to join the Navy.

The feel of the 1940s time period is captured perfectly from the décor of the Carsons’ lounge to the toe tapping musical and dance routines soundtracked by the Andrews’ Sisters and Glenn Miller.

Projected film footage of war events and a number of punctuated news bulletins helped engage the audience further and added that little bit extra to the narrative.

The spatial use of the aisle for parades and battle sequences was also a commendable fea-ture of the performance.

Indeed, nothing keeps your attention more than having a rifle-wielding soldier sneak up beside you from the darkness of an auditorium.

While the Carson’s survive the war with their family intact despite both sons being wounded for the Jenkins, Tamihama and Brown families the end of the war brings grief and not much else.

Pilot Jack Jenkins’ (Alok D’Hondt) demise is particularly gripping as he is shot by a turncoat member of the French Resistance after spend-ing months hiding out in the wake of being shot down over France.

Loose ends were tied up in poignant fash-ion as Mae Carson (Jemima Meegan) visits Eddie- now confined to a wheelchair after his boat was attacked-as we learn the fates of the main characters before an awkward reunion with Annie who visits him with her newborn child and American husband in tow.

The disappointment of losing limb and love in such circumstances is so apparent in actor Michael Cox’s face that you can’t help feel for the guy.

Special mention should be made of Annie’s baby, who puts forward the best performance by a doll since the movie ‘American Sniper’.

A sing-a-long finale to the classic ‘Now is the Hour’ concluded the play and was a good time to wave the New Zealand and Union Jack flags handed out prior to show.

Saturday night’s show was the last perform-ance of the 2015 production, and after the final curtain call Nathan Peacock and Luke Bisley returned to the microphone to pay tribute to Ms Jephson, not just for We’ll Meet Again, but for the years of hard work in various school productions.

Jephson herself reciprocated the kind words of her charges, thanking the cast and crew for giving the production wings through dedication and focus.

“A script on its own is dead unless you have the right people to bring it to life,” she said.

No battle to enjoy MHS wartime productionDon’t leave home without it: Archie Carson (Fergus Cotter) hands son Ted (Luken Bisley) his bible and medal from WW1- a keepsake that will eventually save his life on the battlefield in Motueka High School’s 2015 production of ‘We’ll Meet Again’. Also pictured are (L -R) Mrs Carson (Halina Horn), Mae Carson (Jemima Meegan) and Artie Carson (Dasha Thomas-Marshall).

Bob -“ a tree man of experience”Bob returns

Bob Roborgh’s been around a long time. “He’s intui-tive, experienced and knows just about every one in the region,” says Ellen, his wife and biggest fan. But others endorse her comments as he’s often called back to solve new tree problems after earlier successes.

A wide domainBob’s domain is from Nelson to Murchison and over

the hill to Takaka and everywhere in between, and he’s willing to tackle the biggest to the smallest of jobs.

From enormous to smallIt may be you have a forestry lot or that there’s just one

tree needs removing. He can do it all – even hedge trim-ming and the removal of stumps.

Dangerous trees With 35 years working with trees he has a ton of

experience. “My main expertise is working with awkward trees. Often they look like they’ll do a lot of damage if they’re felled but there’s always a way around it. Trees can be dropped in many different ways and any direction to cause minimum damage.”

This enormous 90 year old pine threatened Seiji’s place as it was lean-ing over his house, and his B and B. Bob to the rescue!

Problem trees sorted

Advice given happilyMany satisfied clients agree. “I’m happy to give advice

and consult with people,” said Bob. “Trees often look like problems but as we talk it through I can sort the best option.”

The right timberA sideline for Bob is his sawmill up the east bank of

the Motueka Valley. Using his timber expertise he’s able to give honest advice on which trees make good timber and which do not.

This enormous gum had to be cut into three and loaded on to the truck. It was 22 tonne! Where necessary Bob calls in local contractors to help out with their heavy machinery.

Bob’s love of treesBob and Ellen’s

homeBob has a real love of trees and

timber and his and Ellen’s home showcases this. “We have a home of many different timbers.” Bob knows where it all came from. All the timber is local, mostly from the Motueka Valley.

Trees and timber forever!

Each type of timber has its place, for example eucalyptus on the floor and cedar as lining timber for the ceiling.

Bob knows his timbers.Bob has been working with trees

and timber for his whole working life!

This large gum fell on a shed during a storm. “We removed it carefully! said Bob.

Ask, he can probably help!Elwin does ground maintenance, domestic irrigation

and car grooming and he cleans, domestically and com-mercially. He has contracts with the Police in Nelson, Stoke, Richmond, Wakefield, Motueka and Takaka for ground work, and minor building repairs and with Chorus for the inside cleaning of its buildings in Takaka and Motueka.

Friday when The Guardian called he was busy inside giving an empty and for sale Motueka house a total clean when he received a call to Edwards Road, where now that the sun had reappeared, he was to trim a big cherry tree.

Elwin’s enjoys life!Elwin’s really enjoying his new business although

these chilly mornings aren’t his favourites. And when things get too hectic he sometimes can call for assist-ance from his wife Karen.

A diverse repetoireHe’ll do things as diverse as cleaning Venetian blinds,

“Any chance you can come up to Edwards Road today? The sun’s out! “ asked a client last Friday.

Happy clients

“We have been most pleased with the workman-ship of Elwin. He built a fence in the front of our Bed and Breakfast, redecorated our bathroom and painted our deck. Not only did he do a very neat job but left everything neat and tidy when finished, and made sure we were satisfied with the results.” – Bob and Laura McGeorge, Tasman Delight B & B

“Elwin came and repaired our house, when a lot of other builders let us down. He did a wonderful job. I highly recommend him for any thing you need fixing.” Tessa Hogge

“My family and I have employed Elwin for section and house maintenance a number of times (house cleaning, section tidying and maintenance, painting and general maintenance). We have found Elwin to be very reliable, his fees are reasonable and the work is done to a high standard. We would have no hesitation using his serv-ices again and often recommend him to others.”

Double glazing means a warmer winter“Please come..”

Wayne and Tanya of Architectural Aluminium are busy all year but one day recently, after our first really decent frost, there were three messages waiting for them when they arrived at work.” Please come and measure our place up for double glazing!”

Total replacement?Double glazing is a proven house warmer and some

people opt for total replacement of their windows, while others choose the retro option where their existing aluminium windows are changed from single to double glazed. Architectural Aluminium can do wooden win-dows where the internal windows are replaced by alu-minium. “It can be a bit like a troublesome tooth though,” reckons Wayne. “Sometimes it’s best to get rid of the old and start again!”

Choose your glassThe expense of the renovation depends upon the

house’s make and how many doors and windows it has, but it does save on your power bills long term. And the glass you choose is important too – do you want tinted, clear, or Low E glass which is best for heat retention.

Thermally broken“A really good change if you opt for total replacement is

the installation of thermally broken window frames. The vital difference is that between the internal and external metal frames there’s a plastic thermal break which halts the transfer of cold from outside to inside. And of course it’s also a chance to change your colour scheme,” said Wayne.

The new machineA most impressive new machine stands in pride of

place in Architectural Aluminium’s workshop. This CNC machine is fully computerised and watching it in action is magical. It creates “Smartfit” complete window systems. “They’re very very weather tight and suitable for new builds and renovations. Delivered on site the units come off the trailer fully finished with side, head flashings and sill bars, making it a faster window to install,” said Wayne.

Architectural Aluminium has been in business 9 years. Aluminium is ordered from Fletcher Aluminium on a job to job basis and everything is made on the premises in King Edward Street Motueka.

Logan Blake operates the new CNC computerised machine.

22 WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE 2015 Sport

By Tim O’ConnellIt has taken six heart-breaking weeks for the

Riwaka womens rugby tens side, but a miser-able Saturday afternoon at Jubilee Park gave way to some sunny scenes of celebration as a first win was achieved in style, beating Moutere 34- 12.

The day had begun in familiar fashion for the competition stragglers, going down 47-12 to Marist before meeting the sole Marlborough representatives in the later game.

The match hung on a knife edge with Moutere and Riwaka exchanging blows for the first 20 minutes, before the final stanza saw the girls from Cook Reserve blitz their opponents in scor-ing three late tries.

Motueka High School had a mixed day by their own standards- losing 24-5 to WOB after earlier setting up Moutere for the disappoint-ment of their Riwaka clash by winning 34-0.

As for the gents, two solid performances against powerhouse Waimea Old Boys sides showed glimpses of excellence by Riwaka and Kahurangi but not enough to overhaul the league leaders in Division One and Two.

Kahurangi would have expected some kind of backlash from their hosts after WOB were handed a loss by Wanderers in the Tasman Trophy Final.

However two early penalties to the visitors provided a subdued start to the game- so much so that an initially larger crowd had gathered across the playing fields to watch the conclusion to the Mot High v Waimea Womens match.

With mud and drizzle combining to moderate any real attempts at running rugby, the crowd eventually turned their eyes back to the number one ground to witness a tight game of secure

Riwaka Resurgence at last for womens’ tens

possession and forward- led attack, which paid dividends for both teams.

Yet in the end one team used this approach to better advantage and unfortunately for Kahurangi it wasn’t them as Waimea returned to winning form with a 29-19 victory.

Kahurangi’s points buffer before kick off ena-bled them to hold onto third spot on the table from Marist after this week’s round of competi-tion, although they cannot afford to drop many more matches going forward if they wish to avoid Waimea in the playoff matches in just a few weeks’ time.

Earlier, Riwaka’s Division Two side had sof-tened up the ground for Kahurangi by playing out a tough forward orientated contest against WOB, putting up an encouraging performance which complemented their hammering of Marist one week earlier despite losing this match 20- 11.

In other Division Two matches, Murchison were completely void of hospitality towards their visiting opponents from Tapawera in running out 47- 0 winners, while Huia were equally as ruth-less away from home against Rangers 64-17.

Over in Golden Bay Takaka hosted the third derby match between themselves and Collingwood for the season.

With both teams sitting close to each other on the table a chance to snare second place offered more than just bragging rights after Wanderers were upset 15-20 by Nelson over the weekend.

However, as it has played out twice already in 2015 Collingwood held on to a slim mar-gin to win 16-14 and exchange places with Wanderers, leaving Takaka to slip to fifth in a log jam with Nelson, Murchison and Huia for the last playoff spot.

The try that sealed a fine win for the Riwaka Women’s Tens side on Saturday afternoon. After a disappointing run of losses and a solitary draw in recent weeks the girls came right in a big way, smashing Moutere 34- 12.

Travelling across the hill to participate in the Tasman Secondary Schools Indoor Climbing championships recently proved to be no steep feat for our local students with some pleasing results coming their way.

The event was held on June 8th and 9th at Vertical Limits Indoor Climbing Centre in the city, with a solid number of students converging to conquer the challenging ascents.

In the teams’ events on Monday, Golden Bay High School held their own against the largely dominant Waimea College and Nelson Colleges, with intermediate and expert groups placing third.

The intermediate team consisted of Brady Stone, Marlene Schraeder and Mishael Finney, while the expert ensemble was made up of Zeb Fersterer- Gawith, Schraeder and Jasper Turner.

However, it was during Tuesday’s individual competition that the Takaka-based high school made the most impressive mark on the championships.

Stone topped his team result in leading a Golden Bay quinella in the male intermediate grade, finishing in first place ahead of Fersterer- Gawith, while Schrader managed to sneak in for a third placing in the female equivalent.

The overall individual girls and boys winners were Ruby Friend from Nelson College for Girls and Leo Luthje from Waimea College respectively.

Vertical Limits looks set to be an ongoing venue for the champion-ships with Jeni Nunn from Sport Tasman saying last week that Vertical Limits provided an ideal facility to adapt for competition requirements.

The property you are applying for must be your principal place of residence.

Want better rural broadband access? So do we!The Council is hosting a survey quizzing residents on their internet speed and access. We need your help to get an accurate picture of what internet access is like for Tasman residents so we can apply for government funding to help improve the situation.The idea of this survey is to gain information on:1. Demand for broadband and mobile Internet services for home, community and

business use across our District2. Areas with no (or limited/poor) serviceBy completing this survey, local people can help clarify where the greatest needs and demand are in the region. This will support our application for government funding for the next phase of �bre deployment in towns, the next phase of broadband in rural areas, and coverage of what are known as ‘Mobile Black Spots’. There are limited funds available for the extension to the rollout and the Government has signalled the most productive and appropriate needs will be met �rst.The goal of the application is faster and more reliable internet access in our region. You can support this work by completing the survey yourself if you live in Tasman, or passing it on to friends, neighbours and associates. The more responses we have, the stronger our application.The survey is available online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/tasmaninternet

28 WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE 2015 Sport

Prior to the start of the Tasman Secondary Schools’ Badminton Championships last week, the whispers were that Picton’s Queen Charlotte College were shaping up as the team to beat as representatives from 11 schools descended upon the Motueka Recreation Centre.

The pre-event prediction proved accurate as QCC returned to Marlborough with both the boys and girls sections easily sewn up for 2015, and in the process win-ning the Jane Marwick and Helen Quentin- Baxter Trophies.

With 21 teams participating- consisting of ten boys and eleven girls teams- there was no short-age of enthusiastic opposition to suggest many tight encounters.

However after a busy day of closely-fought singles and dou-bles matches, the wheat was gradually separated from the chaff and the finalists began to emerge. Local teams finished with mid-range success for the championships, with the two Motueka High School girls teams entered finishing 5th and 8th.

Tapawera Area School made a solid mark on the event with the four pack of Maia Randoff.

Zara Freeman, Jordan Teague and Ashley Cumming Holden completing the day in sixth place.

The sole Motueka High School boys’ team comprising Kai

Queen Charlotte Badminton Kings

Mason, Zander Glasgow, Callum Seymour, Rafael Polanco and

Daniel Schmin finished fourth it was a mix of raw power and athleticism that enabled them to keep up with the frontrunners, although in the end not enough to catch the winners.

This last weekend saw current New Zealand and Mainland Winch ChampionsGordon Jackett and Scotty Newport start their defence of the Four Wheel Drive Mainland Winch

Championship for 2015 in their Jeep Wrangler.The first round started in Nelson last Friday night with three night stages and ten day stages on Saturday

which saw Team Super Winch take a healthy lead going in to the final stages on Saturday. However with some very slippery stages their lead was just down to 10 points, then on the last two

stages Gordon and Scotty put in some blistering times to take the win for the open class. The pair will take part in four rounds this year travelling as far south as Dunedin. Then in November Gordon and Scotty will head to Auckland to defend their New Zealand title as Team

Super Winch.We wish them all the best for the coming rounds.
