I’m writing this because I’m going to do the Ice Bucket Challenge on the Village Green this Saturday. You may have seen me trying to negotiate my way around Geraldine in my wheelchair, dogs attached. You may even have tried talking to me, but only got a smile in return. I’m not being unfriendly - it’s just that I‘m a bit hard to understand these days. It wasn’t always WILSON STREET, GERALDINE Y PHONE 693 8538this way. $12.99/kilo Eight years ago, I was a doctor at a Melbourne Hospital. I was making important decisions about things like organ transplants and deciding when to shut down the hospital $6.99/kilo or to ambulance and helicopter transfers.

I am not telling you this to get your sympathy. I still get a lot of enjoyment out of life. I am still the same person I always was and I have been quite lucky. I’ve lived a lot longer than expected and I’ve had a lot of support. The Ice Bucket Challenge was always about MND. It has probably done more for MND in terms of publicity than anything else in the 140 years since the disease was first described. Several famous people, including Bill Gates, George Bush and Justin Bieber have taken to tipping iced water on their heads to raise money for and awareness of MND. That’s what I’m doing this Saturday on the Village Green. You can view my Ice Bucket Challenge video at http://youtu.be/byNDxiz38Z0 . You can donate to the MND Association online or better still, come along to the Village Green at 12 noon this Saturday to help support the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Property vehicle crossing policy: The board considered Mr Dixon’s report on the enforcement of property vehicle crossings. The District Services Committee (DSC) approved the policy on vehicle crossing standards at their April meeting, but community boards delayed implementing the policy until an enforcement policy was approved. The board recommended the DSC adopt a policy based on targeted compliance. Land for disposal: The board considered a report by council’s property manager, Matt Ambler, about land at Hopgood Lane and Coles Street, Geraldine. These strips of land, classified as local purpose reserve by the Geraldine Borough Council in the 1980s to provide access to commercial areas, are unlikely to be required for future development as road. Council’s Policy and Development committee has recommended that the parcels of land be declared surplus, and that council seeks the Minister of Conservation’s approval to uplift the reserve status. If that is successful, council will be able to put this land up for sale. Community engagement on water issues in the Waihi and Temuka catchment: The board agreed to co-host, with the zone committee, a meeting to inform, and invite feedback from, the Geraldine community about stormwater management, preparation for floods and water quality in the Waihi and Temuka catchments. Board members Jan Finlayson and Chris Fisher attended previous zone committee meetings and supported the idea, although Mr Fisher said he had reservations about having a meeting this early when the committee had just recently been formed and was still at the “informationgathering stage”. Geraldine Primary School plaque: A stone plaque commemorating service during WWI by ex-pupils of an unnamed school hangs in the Geraldine Library Service Centre foyer. Cr Stevens reported that the school referred to was Geraldine Primary School. Board member McGregor Simpson confirmed this, explaining that the plaque was removed for safe storage during school renovations. The board decided to approach the principal to seek the school’s decision on whether to have the plaque restored to the school grounds or to erect an accompanying sign or label which will identify the school.

You have to have something to start with. Then, it’s in the process and in the materials; there’s something mysterious in the materials. “I think John’s involved in that. He moves paint around, big time; he’s trying to find something in the paint. It’s mysterious, unwordable, a felt thing,” he says of his friend and fellow Geraldine artist John Badcock’s work. John’s known for his deeply-layered oil painting, particularly portraiture, where paint is often used so liberally it will cast shadows. As John says, “Sometimes it’s quite sculptural - I’m carving into paint. And every time you look at the paintings they’re different.” He has a clear place in portraiture. New Zealand Portrait Gallery director Avenal McKinnon describes John Badcock in his studio, with self-portraits.

Sometimes the colour may similarity. The Badcock family culture is artistic and practical, be enough.” He believes, “People need to be recorded. Landscapes are including generations of professional artists. “I’m self-taught. I generally similar for decades and decades, but people pass grew up a Badcock; it’s a bit like for mechanics, farmers, and on.” A portrait artist can capture a subject’s core qualities engineers – you grow up in it and you learn about it. “I was a cabinet-maker for 15 years, but I always painted... when the two commit themselves to the task. “Someone’s sitting for hours on end – it’s not a fleeting moment; it’s a I always wanted to be a portrait painter.” In Mike’s words, time of growth. There’s movement, and you’re picking up “He can’t help what he does.” Susan Badcock, John’s daughter and a specialist in different moods.” “The sitter will relax and give in.

The final was between GTCC team of Graham Imms, Tick Reid and Dave Baker (pictured right) against the Orari team skipped by Brian Rae, with Margaret Bray and Ruby Hartley. Both teams started out well, but the game changed on the fifth end. Imms played a great shot to trail the kitty and sit for three, but when Rae tried the same shot he was slightly too heavy and the jack went off the end of the mat giving GTCC three points and a lead of10-3.

On this tour they’re taking classical music out of the large concert halls and performing in small intimate spaces. The New Zealand String Quartet will perform its Salon Series concert at Lodge Theatre in Geraldine next month. “We know many people don’t really know what chamber music is,“ says String Quartet manager Rose Campbell. “We experience chamber music all the time – in films, on television ads and at weddings and events. We’ve pulled together a selection of favourite pieces for this special concert to provide an introduction to chamber music.” The programme features a range of short pieces as well as a stunning full multi-movement from Schubert. From JS Bach’s lyrical Air from Suite No 3, to Shostakovich’s playful Polka, there is something to tantalise the musical palate. Chamber music fans will also enjoy the concert and the chance to hear some of their favourite movements as stand-alone pieces and explore the ideas behind the composers’ works. The New Zealand String Quartet Salon Series concert is at the Lodge Theatre in Geraldine on Wednesday 10 September at 7.30pm. Tickets are available through Louk Clothing or through the NZ String Quartet at www.nzsq. co.nz Submitted Postage-included envelopes New Zealand Post has received a steady stream of applications from the central South Island for the postageincluded envelopes they give to community groups, called Community Post – and others are urged to apply before the close-off date.
