Golden Bay Air goldenbayair.co.nz 0800 588 885 gift vouchers available Scheduled • Scenic • Charter People in the building industry in Golden Bay say that delays in processing building consents are disruptive. In May of this year The GB Weekly approached council for information. TDC’s regulatory manager Adrian Humphries explained in detail why some consents were taking longer at that time than they should. He cited staffing issues, the demand for skilled consents officers in the Christchurch rebuild, legislation changes, increased use of non-standard building materials and designs, and potential council liability if something goes wrong. He also said that the poor quality of consent applications submitted to council was sometimes a factor. Mr Humphries reported that, in the first three months of 2014, council had taken an average of 14 days to process consents, and 90 per cent of consents received were processed in the statutory timeframe of 20 working days. “We are not satisfied with a 90 per cent success rate, and 14 days is not an average we are proud of. We will take what measures we can to improve these figures,” added Mr Humphries in May. Things did not improve immediately, however. In a July edition of the council’s Newsline publication, TDC environment and planning manager, Dennis Bush King, Mr Humphries’ boss, apologised to anyone affected by ongoing delays in the consenting process, stating: “The month of June saw the Tasman District Council’s performance in processing building consents within statutory timeframes fall to an all-time low of 64 per cent.” Mr Bush-King said a number of events caused the delays. “We are still bedding in our new electronic building-consent processing system and there are technical and process issues we are still working through. We indicated it would take three months to transition, which is meant to come to an end on 30 July.” Builder Dan Darwen was one of several people consulted for this article. Photo: Neil Wilson. Other issues with support systems meant that staff were not able to work as efficiently as hoped. Mr Bush-King also identified some staff gaps over the month of June that could not be “backfilled with external assistance”. Mr Bush-King said he hoped that the technical and process issues would be sorted out quickly. Processes were in place, he said, to fill staff vacancies and to look at further streamlining. This week we asked Mr Bush-King and Mr Humphries to provide an update on whether the electronic process was delivering efficiencies and whether council had been able to solve its staffing challenges. Meanwhile, builders and others in the industry here say that delays in processing consents are still making it difficult to schedule work and manage staff. One builder spoke about a client cancelling a job because the application took so long to process. Another described what he thought were inexplicable delays in getting a building consent for a house built with plans supplied by a housing company. “It was identical to one I had built nearby just a few months ago. It’s used all over the place without getting held up in the consenting process. Nothing had changed about the plans or specs but it still took months to get the consent.” Continued on page 2 Did these children pick up your rubbish?

Two groups went to different places. A small group tidied the road edges and ditches from Village Milk to the Clifton intersection and another larger group went out to the Spit. All sorts of rubbish was collected from drink cans, towels, food containers to mussel buoys. The children loved making a difference to their special place in New Zealand and it was an eyeopener to all that so much rubbish ends up in our community.

The GB Weekly, Friday 3 october 2014 1 building consents Continued from page 1 Builders and planners say that they carefully complete their applications in great detail but they always get requests for more information. This usually happens right at the end of the 20-day processing period, they say. Most of the people we spoke to support thorough plan-checking. Some practitioners say that requests for further information from plan-checkers are a useful way of catching up with developments in materials and regulations. “Sometimes we think things tip over from being thorough to being pedantic. That leads to more delay and more expense. That’s when builders, planners, suppliers, auxiliary tradespeople and customers get grumpy,” said one source. Neil Wilson As The GB Weekly went to print this week, we had not received any information from council about improvements in processing building consent applications or about how the 20-working-day standard is applied. We will keep asking and we will keep you posted.

Te Whare Mahana’s locum manager Heather Stewart says an active, enquiring mind promotes good mental health by boosting confidence, increasing self-esteem and raising spirits. “It creates a sense of purpose and a feeling of wellbeing.” Research shows that learning also creates connections between people and leads to greater life satisfaction and optimism. Heather is therefore very supportive of the “keep learning” message adopted Promoting life-long learning are, from left, Janie McIntyre, Heather Stewart and Trish Martin) who for this year’s Mental Health are raising the profile of local learning opportunities - part of Te Whare Mahana’s contribution to A w a r e n e s s W e e k ( 6 - 1 2 Mental Health Awareness Week.

Often it precedes a career, life partner or children, but there is now an apparent increase in retirement OEs. With freedom from work and a dream of adventure, many retired New Zealanders are heading overseas for extended holidays. Leslie and Clive Bird have returned from a two-month trip to the United States of America and were invited to address a senior citizens’ meeting there. They shared diary notes, brochures and DVDs of New Zealand scenery and wildlife. Their holiday began with a Californian tour that started in San Francisco and ended in Los Angeles, via the famous Clive and Leslie Bird saw Old Faithful geyser at Yellowstone National Park, USA.

They spent three hours at the Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone. Pacific Ocean. Next on their itinerary was a national parks tour. The “We waited for the geyser to do her thing, then a snowstorm tour, labelled as “Parks and Canyons”, included Black Hills, blasted in so we didn’t see anything,” said Leslie. “However, Bighorn, Yellowstone Park and Old Faithful, Grand Tetons, the next time she blew it was clear blue skies.” The Grand Canyon was another spectacle, with the painted Great Salt Lake, Zion, Painted Desert and the Grand Canyon. They travelled vast distances by road, crossing the boundaries richness of the colours in its crystalline rock strata and the of seven states: Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, milestone height of its cliffs.

For people who no longer drive, or who for whatever reason stay at home, the visit of an unfailingly cheerful, capable, gentle caregiver can be a big moment in the day. With all the present cutting back our government is doing, it would be a bad day if any reduction in the work of this team were to be allowed. More power to them, I say. They are the greatest. Philip Stocker The dam This week’s Newsline has the front page cover story from Mayor Kempthorne regarding the Waimea Community Dam. I love the change to the title, by the wording “community dam” and dropping the wording “Lee Valley Dam“. Mayor Kempthorne, in this report, makes the statement “the project will benefit you, to a greater or lesser extent depending on where you live”. This writer has tried to explore any benefits the thousands of ratepayers living in Golden Bay, will gain by this dam. The Mayor requests readers of this paper to educate him in any benefits they can find. We certainly will have to contribute to the costs created by this proposal, whether the dam proceeds or not. Last week we shared the fact council is asking staff to examine costs and reduce debt (closing the Collingwood RRC as an example). Yeah right!

Respect to the originators and to the ones who’ve enhanced the initial vision. Now the baton’s been passed to a group of friends who’ve re-opened the place as Wild Earth Nature Park & Café. My son was delighted, again, to interact with animals big and small. To observe them, touch and feed (some of) them. A huge leap forward has been made with the quality and variety of the food on offer in the extended café, especially for children. Well worth checking out. My understanding is that Wild Earth will be hosting social and cultural events throughout the summer, including live music. What I heard on the opening day was beyond “mere” entertainment. Songs that move the heart were brought by the harmonious Mohua Sun, the sparkling Mud Wood, the soulful Anahata Chanters and the ever-reaching Rootsystem. Sweet music to my ears. All people, but especially those with children, if you’re contemplating a place to be or a place to meet, Wild Earth’s gates are open. I was happy to walk through them. I did not walk alone. And I’ll wander that way again. Thank you, wonderful tribe. Alan De Boeck Wild Earth I would like to publicly acknowledge and congratulate the tribe at Wild Earth Nature Park & Café for a successful opening weekend. I have had the pleasure of working with the team (which now feels like a family to me) over the winter in creating a space that will inspire visitors both young and old for many years to come. A great opportunity now exists for the wider community of Golden Bay and abroad to experience a living example of a healthy way of being in harmony with nature and each other. I offer a challenge to all out there, go wild and visit Wild Earth. Jono Hutson Golden Bay on stage A talent quest will take place at the Boys’ & Girls’ A&P Show on Saturday 1 November.

These children were the Juniors, five- to six-year-olds. One girl in fact has just turned five years old. I cannot find words to describe their performances. They were incredible, their work was faultless. My congratulations to them and their teachers for an excellent show. Takaka Primary can certainly “Stand Tall”.

He grew up inland at Otematata, Otago, and family holidays were outdoors, tramping, climbing and skiing, until a dinghy named DAMP became a family treasure. Martin’s Dad built the dinghy and his Mum stitched the sails. DAMP bore the initials of each member of the family: Doreen, Avon, Martin and Philippa. The Potter family sailed DAMP for many years in Central Otago and learnt the basics of sailing by trial and error. “On the maiden voyage we gybed, capsized with the mast stuck in the mud. When we all surfaced I saw Dad and his friend emerge with their smoking pipes sizzling with water and their hats floating away.” Martin’s first OE stretched across three years and three continents. First he bought a one-way ticket to Singapore and backpacked through Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, India, Kashmir and Nepal. When he ran out of money he found work on a topsail schooner The Potter’s yacht Kupere at anchor in Suwarrow, Cook Islands. Photo: Supplied. based in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. they would end up.

They carried 1000 litres of water, and a crew of eight.

Bleak cold days are perfect for either of these activities, and your family can delight in the results. Except maybe when there is just too much of it all. My daughter, who loves sweet stuff as much as I do, recently cried: “Mum...no more...PLEASE!” And I could see her point. The tins, jars and cupboards were overflowing with home baking of every kind. Our home (not to mention our pants) would soon be bursting at the seams. Something had to be done. The answer of course is to invite a group of friends around to help. Luckily, most of our nearest and dearest still eat everything without complaint, happy just to enjoy the togetherness around the table, which is just the way it should be. I had a very nice-looking “birdseed slice” in a local café’s cabinet the other day, which I forswore for the brioche with white chocolate and lemon curd that had just been removed from the oven (OMG!). Later at home I looked online for a recipe and found this, which looked very similar. Adapted from the Ripe cookbook, it is everything a good snack bar should be. A warning should go out to those wearing braces on their teeth, though: the seeds are a bit of a problem! Into a large bowl place the seeds, oats and nuts. Add the liquid and stir together. Place mixture into a baking paper-lined 24cm x 32cm tray and smooth to flatten. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 15 minutes, until golden. Remove and cool before cutting into bars. ~~~~~~~~~~ This next slice is originally from the Pukeko Junction Café in Amberley. It is very bad (due to a huge amount of butter and sugar) but ohso-very good (due to the huge amount of butter and sugar). Thankfully the recipe makes enough so half can be frozen, removing some of the temptation. Fatal! 150g raisins 90g butter ½ cup of golden syrup ¼ cup of brown sugar 90g peanut butter 150g rolled oats 150g chopped nuts 150g sunflower seeds 150g pumpkin seeds 150g sesame seeds Heat the oven to 170°C. Place the seeds and the nuts on a flat baking tray and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until toasted. Cool. Into a pot place the raisins, butter, syrup, sugar and peanut butter. Melt together gently, stirring, until smooth. Base 200g butter, softened ½ cup of brown sugar 1 tsp of vanilla extract 1 ½ cups of plain flour 2 tsp of baking powder Birdseed Slice Caramel Oat Slice Birdseed and Caramel Oat Slices. Photo: Fiona Feasey. Heat the oven to 180°C. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy. Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix well. Press into a baking paper lined 24cm x 32cm tin. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Filling 125g butter ½ cup of golden syrup 1 ¼ cups of condensed milk Topping 1 ½ cups of rolled oats ¾ cups chopped nuts ½ cup brown sugar 100g butter, melted To make the filling, place the butter, syrup, and condensed milk into a pot and heat, stirring until melted. In a separate bowl mix the topping ingredients together. Spread the caramel over the cooked base and sprinkle over the topping. Bake for another 25 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven, cool and chill for a few hours before cutting and having a private sampling. ~~~~~~~~~~ This last recipe is quite delicious and healthy enough to eat anytime. Raspberry jam bars 1 cup of plain flour 1 cup of wholemeal flour ½ cup of wheatgerm ½ cup of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon pinch of salt 225g butter, softened ½ cup of rolled oats 1 cup of chopped nuts ¼ cup of brown sugar, extra 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed 1 cup of sugar-free raspberry jam Into the food processor place the flours, wheatgerm, first measure of sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter, reserving 2 tablespoons for later. Blend until the butter is incorporated and the mix looks like breadcrumbs. Reserve 1¼ cups of mixture for the topping and press the rest into a 24cm x 32cm slice tin lined with baking paper. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, return the reserved flour mixture to the processor with the oats, nuts, flaxseed, second measure of sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Pulse until crumbly.

In this new work, talented screenwriter, playwright and novelist Duncan Sarkies (Two Little Boys, Scarfies, Flight of the Conchords) and musician Joe Blossom (aka Sean O’Brien) together re-create the world from Sarkies’ new novel The Demolition of the Century. Arts Festival Director Sophie Kelly says the hugely entertaining transition of Demolition from book to stage is achieved through a series of vignettes, delivered in an inspired cabaret-style. “Duncan Sarkies is such an engaging and funny character – he truly understands the art of story-telling. When he presented to a group of us at the performing arts market in Wellington, we were completely transfixed and just didn’t want it to end. “I just know people in Golden Bay will really love this show. The Mussel Inn is the perfect venue for it.” Demolition presents the lives of two seemingly disparate characters, Tom and Spud, whose disclosures eventually lead to a shocking revelation. Like a fine detective novel, we are led into the mystery by anti-hero Tom Spotswood - a beaten up insurance investigator, who returns to his former stomping-ground to solve a puzzle that has haunted him for the past four years. Upon his return, he is thrown into cold panic when he is unable to find his young son or his ex-wife. All trace of his family seems to have been carefully demolished, while downtown another demolition occurs as Spud obliterates another piece of collective history with his wrecking ball. Demolition is a fast-paced, darkly captivating cabaret-comedy, which leaves you fully entertained and tantalisingly close to solving a puzzle. As a follow-up, you can read the novel for all of the answers and further delights along the way. The GB Weekly has two double passes to this rollicking show to give away.

While at the National Superior Music Conservatory of Paris, Claire was taught by Jacques Rouvier, a student of Vlado Perlemuter who, in turn, studied Ravel’s complete piano works with the composer himself. “There’s a direct lineage from the composer to the performance,” says JeanFrançois Robert, Claire’s partner and manager for their Piano on Tour enterprise. Proving herself to be far more than a Ravellian cipher, Claire will be showcasing her wide repertoire and Pianist on Tour: Claire Rouault Photo: Submitted. extraordinary talent at October’s concert, playing some of Bach’s earliest keyboard suites, a selection of classic Chopin waltzes and a sensuous sonata written by her favourite composer, Robert Schumann. Jean- François believes the audience will be moved by the carefully selected pieces. “The choice of music is extremely beautiful.” In addition to the traditional concert, Claire will also be performing at the high school and the hospital. It’s part of the project’s vision to bring world-class music, normally associated with a metropolitan elite, to small communities throughout New Zealand’s heartlands and to schools, retirement homes, hospitals and prisons. According to Jean François, the two extra Takaka performances will feature a programme specifically tailored to their audiences. “It’s beautiful classical music but also very accessible, with small pieces that don’t require so much concentration.” Though less demanding for the audience, the music will still have the power to inspire. “We hope to trigger is bringing her talent and concert piano to the Bay in October. some emotion and interest and open a door to classical music. That’s what happened to Claire when she was young.” He explains that hauling the $75,000 leviathan to the farflung regions of the country requires a great deal of care as well as several pieces of bespoke kit. “We have a specially converted insulated trailer with all the equipment to load, including a ramp and electric winch.” Despite the large investment, admission costs are kept down with the help of donations to the project’s charitable trust. The result is rock-bottom prices for high-quality concerts. It’s a combination that Jean-François expects will appeal strongly to local culture vultures. “The demand in Golden Bay is just exceptional.” Expect tickets to sell out quickly. Claire will perform at the Village Theatre on Sunday 12 October at 5pm. Tickets: $20 ($5 for children under 12) available from Unlimited Copies.

The GB Weekly, Friday 3 october 2014 3 OCTOBER 2014 Newsline update Keeping you informed about n e w s a n d e v e n t s i n Ta s m a n D i s t r i c t 9 Public Notices $ Engagement on significance sought The Tasman District Council is to adopt a Significance and Engagement Policy. What is that you may ask? Engagement is a responsibility the Council takes very seriously. Community input to decisions is key to ensuring the views of residents and ratepayers are taken into account. Significance in this context is about how the Council will assess the ’significance ‘ of its decisions in relation to the effect they may have on people, assets, Council finances or the District as a whole. Once assessed it will determine and guide the level of engagement the Council should invest in. The Council already has separate policies for both significance and engagement however, recent amendments to the Local Government Act have determined there should be one policy covering both subjects.
