The internet speed and mobile coverage
survey is creating a buzz – communities
all over the district are keenly backing the
council-led funding bid.
Bid co-ordinator Karen Lee says the
response has been fantastic.
“There’s real desire out there for improved
services. It’s great to see so many people
backing the bid.”
More than 950 surveys have been returned
so far, and community meetings in Motueka,
Collingwood and Takaka have shown strong
support for the initiative from families,
schools and businesses.
However, the competitive bid process
means the funding will be allocated to where
the Government believes it could achieve
the highest productivity gains or, for mobile,
where there was no coverage at all.
“This is infrastructure for living in the
modern world. It’s about connecting schools
and businesses to the world, helping families
and communities stay in touch, and tourists
connect with home. It’s also about being able
to call for emergency help if you need it.
In short, the more survey responses we
have, the more clearly we can show which
communities and areas need coverage and

therefore funding and support from the
government.”
The deadline for completing the survey
is today. It’s available on the TDC website
at http://www.tasman.govt.nz/link/internetsurvey. Paper copies are also available from
Council offices.

Just over 50 per cent of pregnant mothers
in Golden Bay opt for a natural home birth,
so it’s no wonder that two mothers, Alesha
Hobbs and Tami Wyness, are combining
their love and passion for empowered birth
experiences for women and their families and
creating a group.
The Home Birth in Golden Bay group falls
under the larger national body, Homebirth
Aotearoa, a national collective of regional
home birth groups throughout the country.
Alesha says the intention of the group
is to: normalise birth and home birth as
natural processes; empower women and
their families to make informed choices; and
provide a support network for all aspects of
pregnancy, birth and parenting. Partners and
grandparents are welcomed.
The duo hopes to create a natural
pregnancy library, screen movies and host
guest speakers and healthcare practitioners.
Alesha and Tami each have very different
birthing stories, and emphasise that the group
is inclusive of all forms of birth and that the
focus is largely on empowering women in
their individual choices.
“It’s also important to acknowledge the
wide spectrum of women that might be
interested in homebirth,” says Tami. “With
Golden Bay’s differing demographics,
everyone might come with a different
philosophy, but all will be supported as
women across the board, whether at hospital
or at home, whether you live in a bus on a
farm.”
Alesha’s own second home birth was on
the rural West Coast. After the only midwife
was hospitalised with an illness late in
Alesha’s pregnancy, and all funding was cut
for locum midwives, their standard option
was to go to the hospital. Alesha and her
partner opted to do it alone instead, and gave
birth to their daughter naturally at home. “I
don’t want to give the impression it was some
wild uninformed decision,” she explains.

Bay and Tami has created Mama Love Collective. Photo: Nina Hindmarsh.
“We had our bags packed and ready to go
the hospital. “It was the most empowering
moment of my life.”
Tami’s story didn’t go as smoothly, but has
inspired in her a desire to help other women
acknowledge their birthing experience on a
deeper level.
“I had a hospital birth, which was traumatic
and it took me a long time to get over it.”
Tami says her own experiences have
inspired a deep interest in the link between
disempowered birth and postnatal depression,
and has created a group, the Mama Love
Collective, to support women.
“Mama Love Collective is for women who
have postnatal depression or are finding it
overwhelming, or may have miscarried or are
finding motherhood really hard,” says Tami,
adding that there appeared to be a need for
additional help in the Bay as there are no
support groups here for postnatal depression.
“There’s no one you can be referred to here;
you have to be referred to Nelson [Postnatal
Depression Nelson].”

Alex Renton’s family say that they are very hopeful of a
positive end to a week that began with frustration.
Former Takaka resident, Rose Renton, says her son Alex
(19) has been in a coma since 8 April. He is suffering from
a rare form of autoimmune encephalitis involving constant
seizures. Conventional medication seems to have had little
effect on Alex’s condition, says Rose, and the Rentons were
anxiously waiting for the arrival of an alternative.
On Tuesday, Alex became the first person in New Zealand
to be given Elixinol, a fibre-rich dietary supplement made
from industrial hemp. By Wednesday evening Rose reported
that Alex had been given his third dose and that it seemed to
be agreeing with him. The oil is not marijuana and contains
only negligible amounts of THC, the substance that produces
the “high” for marijuana-users.
Associate professor Michelle Glass, head of department
of pharmacology, University of Auckland, told the Science
Media Centre website:
“The reports that we have seen in the media today strongly
imply that the government has approved cannabis for the
treatment of Alex Renton, it is important that people recognise
that this is not the case. What has been approved is oil made
from industrial hemp, which is not marijuana. The use of highcannabidiol (CBD) strains of cannabis or hemp have recently
garnered a lot of public attention, particularly in paediatric
seizure disorders such as Dravet’s syndrome, where there
have been some dramatic results in individual patients.”
The Renton family was hopeful that the change in treatment
would bring about an improvement in Alex’s condition.
Doctors had been gradually reducing the amount of his other
medications to prepare him for the Elixinol. His sedation was
further reduced on Wednesday.
Rose says that the Associate Minister of Health, Hon Peter
Dunne, “had no choice” but to allow its use on Alex because
there is no evidence of likely harmful side-effects, unlike the
drugs which have been used to treat Alex so far.
“Alex has been in a virtual drug war. The drugs we have
used are harmful and they haven’t worked. Alex’s case has
highlighted the urgency of the debate around this kind of
treatment for people with a whole range of conditions without
harmful side effects.”
While Mr Dunne pointed out that his permission should
not be viewed as a precedent, it is certain that the debate
around the therapeutic use of industrial hemp-based products
has heated up because of Alex’s case.
Alex’s sister Jesse Renton organised a petition seeking
support for the treatment. It has attracted about 30,000
signatures so far. There is also a Facebook page and the
Givealittle site to allow people to show support for the Renton
family. With Alex likely to be in Wellington Hospital for some
time, the large family has had to re-organise itself in order
to be with him.
Rose says that the Rentons are grateful for the support
they have received from Golden Bay and from around the
world.
“Our fight as a family is just to get the best for Alex. I’m
only doing what any mother would, but the issue has captured
a lot of interest. The type of person Alex is, he would be
wanting to do everything for the greater good of a lot of
people. He’s mature, calm and solid for others and a great
listener. Kindness is a big thing for him. Coming from a family
of seven children, you have to learn to listen and care. I’m not
surprised he’s become the kind of forefront of a movement
for this kind of therapy. Through this 60-plus-day-long coma
he’s remained incredibly resilient. It’s felt to me as though
he has been running things from under the coma, giving me
and Jess and his family the strength to do the things we need
to do in this campaign.”

home births
Continued from page 1
Midwife Pamela Goffriller says the local midwifery
team’s aim is to work together with the new home birth
group, and hopes to attend meetings now and then to talk
about the birth experience.
“We support home births, and in Golden Bay they are
as safe as hospital births,” says Pamela, “but if a woman
feels more safe in our birthing unit that’s fine too. I
wouldn’t try to talk anyone into home birth. You need to
be where you want to be.”
In August, Alesha and Tami will attend Home Birth
Aotearoa’s national hui at Riverside Community in
Motueka. The hui is open to everyone. Alesha attended
last year’s hui in Auckland.
The first meeting for the home birth group will be
held on Monday 29 June, Community Gardens, 10am12pm. More info: [email protected]. The Mama
Love Collective’s first meeting will held on Thursday
25 June, Community Gardens, 10.30am. More info:

Young’s Bridge expected to reopen this month
It’s four-and-a-half months since Young’s Bridge at
Ferntown was closed for major structural repairs but,
according to Tasman District Council spokesman Chris Choat,
the end is in sight.
“The bridge is expected to be reopened in late June.”
At the time of the closure, Chris predicted that the
remedial works “may take several weeks.” (GBW 5/2/2015).
A makeshift crossing was installed adjacent to the damaged
structure in late January, but for a short time last month there
was no crossing at all after the temporary gravel “bridge” was
washed out by a flash flood.
Chris outlined the main reasons for the delay in fixing
the original bridge. “The scale of required repairs increased
once work commenced. In doing the structural assessment
and geotechnical investigations to identify the best long-term
option, all the original bridge pier foundations were found
to be very inadequate.”
The chosen repair option involved driving new steel piles
14 metres down to the mudstone. Complicating matters
further, the works had to be planned to coincide with
favourable tide times which, combined with periods of high
river flow, has meant slow progress at times. But for drivers
who are forced to slow to a crawl in order to negotiate the
badly potholed surface of the temporary crossing, the eventual
reopening of Young’s Bridge will be a case of better late
than never.
The next major bridge maintenance project in Golden
Bay is the repainting of the structural components on Aorere
River Bridge at Rockville on the Collingwood-Bainham
Main Road, but Chris says that traffic should be unaffected
by this renovation work. “No disruption is envisaged in the
preparation and painting of the trusses above and below the
bridge’s surface.”

Young’s Bridge at Ferntown should be repaired by the end of this month, says TDC spokesman Chris Choat.

“Fulsome praise”
Following Nick Smith’s address at Parliament where you
reported last week that he delivered “fulsome praise” to the
representatives of Project Janszoon for winning the Green
Ribbon Award, what happened? Did the room erupt in
dismay. Was Nick Smith summarily ejected from the gathering
or plastered with eggs and tomatoes? Did Janszoon dissolve in
embarrassment? According to my edition of the OED “fulsome
praise” would be “disgusting by excess of flattery”. I rather feel
Janszoon deserved better from a Minister of the Crown.
Mike Scott
Ed: We agree, there’s some ambiguity about “fulsome”.
We quote the Oxford English Dictionary website in an effort
to clear it up in this case. Our writer certainly meant to use
the word in the positive sense.
“Definitions: Complimentary or flattering to an excessive
degree’ and ‘generous or abundant.
“Usage: Although the earliest use of fulsome (first recorded
in the 13th century) was ‘generous’ or ‘abundant, this meaning
is now regarded by some people as wrong. The correct
meaning today is held to be ‘excessively complimentary
or flattering’. However, the word is still often used in its
original sense of ‘abundant’ especially in sentences like she
was fulsome in her praise for the people who organized
it, and this use can give rise to ambiguity: for one speaker,
fulsome praise may be genuine, whereas for others it will be
interpreted as an insult.”

In 1976 I joined the Rural Resettlement Association, along
with other landowners who had been affected by the Golden
Bay County Council’s (GBCC) new bylaw to restrict building
homes on less than 50 hectares (125 acres) of land. I built a
hut in bush 600m above Clifton with a wood stove and water
for $350 by using demo materials, and tree stumps as piles.
After we were turned down for permission to build on
80 acres by the GBCC I chose an alternative strategy to
create change by going to Fair Go. A friend, Burton Silver,
introduced me to Dr Brian Edwards who encouraged me to
contact Fair Go when I was ready. I said yes and this is what
happened. The timing was good; the story was aired 10 days
before the local elections. As a result Philip Woollaston from
the Rural Resettlement Association was elected as chairman of
the GBCC. Bylaws were changed and foundations were laid
for the creative culture that thrives in Golden Bay today.
With bylaws changed it enabled new landowners to
move and build in Golden Bay. Art and organic groups were
formed. The WorkCentre was established in Takaka. The
Wholemeal Trading Company, in Takaka, was created. And

Aquaculture area increases
Last week’s article submitted by Tasman District Council
comes across as something that has already been decided.
We are told “all parties have invested heavily to get the
applications to this stage and should now look forward to the
conclusion of the process, enabling the industry to develop
further offshore farms”. Wow! Should they? Who asked them
to invest all this money, and should we feel guilty opposing
their plans now?
So what is TDC’s vested interest in submitting this article?
They write “with growth in this sector the whole District
stands to benefit....” etc. Is that like with Talleys? (Who happen
to be the only ones that get ridiculously cheap rates for usage
of the Tarakohe port?) No, I’m sure this time it’s for all of us,
especially those invested in the tourism industry.

natural resources for the benefit of private enterprise.

Pakawau beach front
Last week’s claims (GBW article page 7) that the preChristmas sand push-up at Pakawau has been largely claimed
by the sea, are somewhat exaggerated. The properties next
to the rock wall have been affected, as could be expected,
as the correct end-of-wall engineering solution has not been
implemented. But elsewhere is, overall, looking good.
Subsequent natural events have substantially raised the level
of sand from Totara Avenue north.

Internet coverage
Recently I attended an open day about internet in Golden
Bay. I realised that there are options that people are not
using.
Vodafone RBI is an excellent service, I have been using
it for six months and am a very satisfied customer. Their
coverage map will show if you can get it or ph Vodafone on
0800 777 042. The map may not be completely accurate so
it is best to check with a Vodafone mobile. If you have two
bars or more you should be OK. You can book a technician
to come out and install it and if it does not work there is
no charge. If it does work you can get 30GB (about to be
increased to 80GB) and free calling nationwide for $100/
month. My landline phone plugged into a jack on the modem
and my old number was carried across. I am signed up to a
24-month deal and it cost me $99 to get it installed.
You can buy the equipment outright but that’s not a good
idea because Vodafone is planning a 4G rollout and you
would be stuck with outdated tech.

Tourism
I would like to give support to the sentiment in Moira
Tilling’s letter (GBW 12/6). All ratepayers in Golden Bay
(business or not) are currently paying a tourist tax. This
revenue goes to the Nelson Tasman Tourism marketing effort,
for the whole of the top of South Island. Tasman District
Council is loathe to create a special tax for Golden Bay
Promotions. Moira is right in the fact that tourism benefits
the whole community. It is a statistic that every tourist dollar
spent creates $7 in the local economy. Tourism is fourth in our
economic income, farming, forestry and fishing just ahead.
However it is the greater employer of labour.
Golden Bay is our backyard and our visitor centre is a focal
place for information and the front desk for all our businesses,
attractions, activities and accommodation. It is essential for
us to deliver a personal service to visitors. New Zealand is
noted for our cordial greeting and help.
So what can we do? May I suggest that all of us serving the
community, operating a small business, all join in to donate
$2 per week to the GB Visitor Centre. Especially all GSTregistered traders. This would raise the funds for survival of
the centre and our visitor reception.
We must now take up the challenge of personal
responsibility. Collectively, and with community spirit, we
can have the best reception desk in the NTT.
I challenge any reader to name any business, or trade that
does not gain income from the tourist spend.

recognition, to make our communities better places to
live.
These awards aim to give some well-deserved
recognition to these unsung heroes of our communities.
It gives communities an opportunity to make sure they
are rewarded for the long-term outstanding service they
have given over the years.
Criteria: Nominees must be residents of Tasman
District to qualify. They must have been involved in a
range of voluntary activities that have benefited their
community for 20 years or more. Nominations close on
30 June 2015.
Nomination forms are available on the TDC website
or from any TDC office.

July is the best month
for fruit tree pruning. We
prune fruit trees (and other
flowering shrubs and trees)
for a number of reasons.
Damage and disease. After
stormy weather or a visit from
possums or kereru, there’s
often damage to branches.
These are best removed to
prevent disease and stimulate
replacement shoots. Diseased
wood (eg, silver leaf or
powdery mildew) must be
removed.
Shape. This is best started
when you plant, will reduce
pruning later on, and will
direct the growth where you
want it most. Also remove
spent fruiting wood that has
bent too low. If you mow your
orchard, pruning prevents
you from being eyeballed by
a wayward branch.
Overcrowding.
Overcrowded growth reduces
tree health and fruit quality.
Vertical shoots are often
removed as more horizontal
branches give more fruit.
There are times when a
vertical shoot is required as
a replacement and can be
tied down to reduce vigour
and stimulate fruiting.

Transition time: H.A.N.D.S. members’ involvement sought
Golden Bay’s local currency system, H.A.N.D.S. (How
About No Dollar System), is undergoing a time of transition
since long-time committee members Joanna and Ro Piekarski
left Pohara to live on Great Barrier Island.
Joanna was a major figure in H.A.N.D.S. for almost a
decade, filling the role of HANDy messenger and tirelessly
promoting the green dollar system, says committee member
Murray Rogers. “With big shoes to fill, no one has stepped
forward to take on the HANDy role, despite months of
advertising,” he says.
An astonishing eight per cent (over 400) of the local
population are members of the system, and Golden Bay still
holds the New Zealand record for highest percentage per
capita in a complementary currency system.
H.A.N.D.S. was modelled on the international trading
System LETS (Local Energy Trading System) which originated
in the United States. Beginning here in 1989, membership
reached a peak around 1994 before dropping slightly and
then levelling out. In 2003, a spurt of growth came with
the enthusiasm of a new committee, the paid position of
a broker, and the introduction of exchange certificates or
tokens in 2005.
Murray Rogers has been on the committee since 1990. He
says the system is important because it creates its own social
glue and keeps energy local.
“In a small way it’s an antidote to the current monetary
system, which a lot of people are dissatisfied with,” he says.
“It’s just different, people can identify with it and it’s special
to Golden Bay.”
The system is held together by its committee members who
volunteer their time to keep the entity functioning. Aside from
that, staff are employed and paid entirely in HANDS dollars.
Their roles include a newsletter editor and consultants,
writers, photographers and artists. The administrative roles
(accounts, website and distribution) are done by Murray
Rogers and Malcolm McKellar.
In their 15 years as members, Joanna and Ro spent
over 20,000H in total. Of this, the items and services
included gardening, building, home maintenance, cleaning,
mechanical, chainsawing, labour, electrical work, plumbing,
sewing, health, baking, computer tech, haircuts, workshops,

and buying food, artwork and useful items. They even put
450H towards a car and 300H towards a caravan.
Joanna says H.A.N.D.S. exists for one reason only: to help
people thrive. She was hired in 2004 as the first HANDy
messenger, and says the original job description was to
connect members with items and services, and to distribute
news. Over the years as H.A.N.D.S. grew, more user-friendly
ideas naturally arose.
Murray says Joanna was highly proactive, and her
motivation and enthusiasm meant she would actively seek
people’s involvement and quickly became the conduit for
much communication between members. She was involved
in the quarterly newsletters, joining and matching members,
co-ordinating community education, and also functioned as
editor. She also compiled and sent out over 700 email updates
to members, and revised the directory every year.
Murray now sees her extensive contribution as a “doubleedged sword”.
“Because Joanna had taken on this huge role,” he explains,
“in my opinion members got over-reliant on her services. So
now people don’t update their own information because it
was always done for them.”
When asked how he sees the system functioning at its
optimal level, he said: “The success of the system is actually
up to all the members, and not so much about a committee
doing all the work, so it’s inviting people to be involved.”
Murray’s vision of a more active and involved H.A.N.D.S.
community also puts forward an alternative concept, whereby
everybody who engages in the community is a business
unto themselves. “That’s how business is being operated
with H.A.N.D.S. in Golden Bay: individuals doing their
own thing.”
Murray calls for members to “put themselves out there”
and get involved. “I don’t have all the answers,” he says, “but
I believe that, collectively, everybody does.”
The Winter H.A.N.D.S. Market will be held this Sunday 21
June from 11am-2pm at the GB Community Gardens, where
there will be stalls, music, roasted chestnuts and circus play.
The theme is “The Longest Night” and there will be a prize for
the best costume. New members can sign up at 12.30pm.

HOW DO I FIND OUT
WHAT DAY MY BIN WILL

Each recycling bin is assigned to a specific street
address. The collection day is written on the sticker
– this is the day for both rubbish and recycling
collections.
So, for example, if it says “Tue” then your collection
day for weekly rubbish bags is Tuesday.
It also means that your fortnightly recycling
collection will be on a Tuesday.
The number after your day

Solstice sale at The Enchanted Toadstool
Police report / Yay, it’s back!
CAR THEFT
Over the last month or so we have had a series of burglaries
and thefts, including cars thefts.
These have been in several locations across our community
and happened in two main waves. A suspect for the first
set of burglaries and thefts has been identified by DNA
and police are looking for him. He is believed to be in the
Marlborough area.
The more recent car thefts and donuts were traced back
to a group of young men from Nelson using Nelson Bays
as a playground, stealing cars and ditching them in various
states of destruction. Two of the vehicles stolen from here
have been damaged by fire or stupidity, and are write-offs.
These young men are now in custody, awaiting their next
court appearance.
A couple of these incidents could have been avoided or
prevented. Quite simply, lock your car and put your keys
inside the house. Many in Golden Bay live here because of
our perceived lack of crime and the belief that the mighty
Takaka Hill protects us from the rest of New Zealand.
Unfortunately this is not the case. Every now and again some
misinformed individuals, aka idiots, will travel over and take
advantage of our unsuspecting community; taking his or her
chances. So please take that five minutes to lock your car and
put the keys somewhere safe.
INSURANCE POLICIES
It is also a timely reminder to ensure that your insurance
policies are up-to-date and include what you think they do,
ie read the small print.
STOLEN WALLET
A local person lost their wallet while on a trip last week.
Fortunately they discovered this within 24 hours and stopped
their credit cards. However a light-fingered thief managed
to get a few hundred dollars of goodies before the card was
blocked. So if you lose your wallet, make sure you contact
either your bank or the Police as soon as possible, don’t leave
it a week in the hope it may turn up. Someone may spend
your money for you if you forget. The thief is now facing a
number of fraud charges.
WINTER DRIVING
Winter is here, so it’s timely to remind people to drive to
the conditions. A couple of accidents have happened recently
and I’d like to see a few less.
MAKING A DRIVING PLAN
A couple of people have also felt the financial sting of the
new drink-driving rules. Our message is pretty simple – if
you’re drinking, don’t drive. Make a plan how you’re going
to get home before you go out.
THEFT FROM TARAKOHE
Finally a solid-steel winch has gone missing from Tarakohe
wharf. It’s a bit of a gem and would probably need two people
to lift it or one fireman. If anyone knows about it, please feel
free to tell us who has it or return it to where it came.

Waimea Water Management Plan
Variations released for feedback
Tasman District Council (TDC) has released a draft change
to the Tasman Resource Management Plan (TRMP) for the
management of water on the Waimea Plains for discussion.
Cr Stuart Bryant, TDC environment and planning committee
chairman said it was important that TDC set out the new water
allocation and rationing rules that would apply to permit
holders who choose to be affiliated to the proposed Waimea
Community dam and those who choose not to. He said the
TDC was responding to widespread ratepayer concern about
the earlier proposal to link water allocation to a property rate
in the event of an augmentation dam being built.
“The council is now proposing to make a change to the
TRMP that will provide permit holders with a choice about
whether or not to improve their water supply security and
contribute to funding the Waimea Community Dam. If the
dam is not built, the existing ‘without dam’ provisions will
continue to apply to all water users.”
Cr Bryant said that releasing this information now was
important while existing and future permit holders are
considering the degree to which they might commit funding
to an augmentation dam. He said it was also needed so
that exiting water permit holders whose permits expire in
2016/2017 have a clearer idea of the allocation and rationing
rules that will apply.
The change to the TRMP introduces two security-of-supply
regimes for permit holders, depending on whether the permit
holder is affiliated to the dam. Being affiliated to the dam
means that a permit holder has an agreement with the dam
operator to release water in a way that maintains the minimum
flow in the Waimea River when there is abstraction by the
permit holder. This allows the permit holder to take advantage
of the stored water to improve their security of supply in dry
summer conditions.
For permit holders not affiliated to the dam (that is those
who choose not to enter into a water supply agreement),
the security of supply will be similar to that provided in the
“without dam” regime already included in the TRMP. There
will however be a different rationing regime for these permit
holders. When the Wairoa River reaches 2200 litres/sec,
unaffiliated permit holders will have to stop taking water.
The proposal also includes a new trigger that allows
abstraction by unaffiliated permit holders to resume after rain
when the river flows at 6000 litres/sec. After a period of rain
during a drought, the rise in river flow provides immediate
relief to the river itself, but the aquifers are slower to respond.
The new trigger allows recommencing of pumping almost
immediately if a moderate or large flood occurs, but will
not allow pumping if the flood is either small or too short
in duration.
Cr Bryant said the consequences for permit holders who
choose not to be affiliated to the dam could be serious.
“Some land owners on the Plains have said they do not
need water but there are many others who will find it difficult
to maintain their current land use when such cuts were
applied in the absence of augmented water flows.”
Cr Bryant said existing and future water permit holders
should take an interest in this plan change process as it has
significant impacts on how water will be managed in the
Waimea Plains.
Feedback on the draft proposal will be received until 31
July. Information about the draft plan change will be viewable
on TDC’s website. The council intends to commence the
formal process of notifying the Plan Change in September.
The draft Plan Change is available online at www.
tasman.govt.nz/policy/public-consultation/waimea-watermanagement-security-of-supply/ and at all TDC offices and
libraries.

CHEAPEST BACH IN POHARA
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
AT LIGAR BAY
Located smack in the middle of Pohara and only
100m, from the beach through the walkway, this
Retro A-Frame is offered in original condition and
typical 1970's style.
My vendors admit it's a bit rough around the
edges but if you are looking for simple "bachy"
accommodation in a great location, then why not
take a look?
