GB Shared Recreational Facility committee
members are celebrating a major milestone
for the project.
The Community Facilities Fund of the New
Zealand Lotteries Grants Board confirmed a
grant of $440,000 to the Golden Bay project.
It is believed that it is the largest single grant
ever to come into the Bay.
The Community Facilities Fund makes
two distributions of funds each year,
totalling about $13 million. In the round
just announced alone there were requests
for $14 million worth of grants. Committee
members say they are thrilled that the Golden
Bay project has been recognised with such
a significant sum. As the money comes from
lotteries, there are strict conditions attached
to what it is allowed to fund.
“It’s specifically tagged for things that assist
the community’s well-being through sport
and recreation. We understand that and we’re
more than happy to comply,” says committee
chair Dean Lund. “To us, this feels like an
acknowledgement of the fact that Golden Bay
needs and deserves a proper facility. It’s a real
vote of confidence. This grant from lotteries
signs off our obligation to the council. That
means that everything we raise from now on
goes into the things that the user groups need
and want. It’s about $200,000 we’re looking
for now and we’ve got some good ideas about
how that can happen.”
Last Friday the project took a major step
forward with the pouring of the concrete
dancefloor in the function room of the new
facility.
This week the committee called a meeting
of all the user groups to share the good news
and to update people on progress elsewhere
in the project. Major naming sponsors have
been found for various parts of the facility and
negotiations are continuing. The community
will be called on to help out with the
remaining money but committee members
say they are pleased to have raised so much
money already and they are confident of
reaching their targets.

GB Community Board’s June meeting
Last Tuesday’s Golden Bay Community
Board meeting attracted around a dozen
members of the public, several of whom
fully exercised their right to speak on a range
of topics.
Pedestrian safety
Pam Burnett opened the public forum with
a plea for Tasman District Council (TDC) to
consider upgrading the roadside walkway
on the corner near the former Joan Whiting
Rest Home. “We don’t want a fancy path;
just make it safe.” Pam explained that the
steeply sloping grass verge is hazardous and
needs fixing, but TDC engineering services
don’t see it as a priority. Councillors have
visited the site and, in the light of Pam’s
intervention, the board agreed to write to the
council urging it to come up with a plan and
obtain resource consent, which would allow
contractors to level the ground.
Gibbs Road drainage
Keith Ballard observed that heavy rainfall
had caused serious erosion on both sides of
the Gibbs Road walkway and he warned this
was rapidly becoming another safety issue for
The GB Weekly, Friday 24 june 2016
the town. “The planted verge is falling into
the gully. It’s undermining the pavement.”
BJ White concurred and explained that,
in his view, the source of the problem lay
further up the hillside. “A slip has led to
gravel blocking culverts.”
Board chair Carolyn McLellan suggested
that a service request should be submitted to
the council for contractors to clear culverts
on a regular basis and before forecast heavy
rain events.
Whitebaiting sock nets
With the whitebaiting season due to
begin shortly, BJ expressed concern over
the imminent “rape and pillage” of whitebait
stocks caused by the use of sock nets.
“The Community Board should talk to
the council.” Carolyn acknowledged the
problem, but explained that it was a difficult
one to address because the deployment of
sock nets is allowed by law. However, it
was agreed that the board would do what it
could to effect a change in the regulations.
“We will write another letter to DOC and to
the Minister of Conservation.”
Collingwood Campground
BJ moved on to the subject of the future
of Collingwood’s campground. He proposed
a change of use for the site, from camping
to general recreation. “Turn it into a public
space, shift the playground there and use it as
an area where people can have picnics and
access to the river.”
TDC community services manager Susan
Edwards later told the meeting that TDC
owned the campground and it made a
positive financial return to the council.
However, she advised that TDC was currently
assessing all their campgrounds and it would
be Collingwood’s turn soon. “We will look
at it in the next year or so.”
TDC Takaka Service Centre
Council will be investing over $600,000
in the renovation of its Commercial Street
building. Jill Pearson questioned why TDC
had paid $5000 to each of two unsuccessful
tendering companies. TDC community
services manager Susan Edwards explained
that developing detail plans and pricing was
a costly exercise,...
cont on page 2

community
board
Continued from page 1
...and by offering some recompense TDC encouraged
better quality submissions. She said the tendering process
was now complete and the work should begin shortly.
“We will award the contract very soon and hope to be
in by Christmas.”
Following the public forum, the board discussed
several other issues.
Summer patrol
The board will request support from TDC for extending
the six-week summer patrol of the council’s enforcement
officer. The enforcement officer’s role would be expanded
to encompass parking, freedom camping and dog-control
bylaws.
Hanging baskets
With summer in mind, Carolyn said the hunt was
on for a successor to Stuart Borlase who, for the last 30
years, has organised and watered Takaka township’s 182
hanging baskets. “We just need someone to turn the taps
on and off.” It was agreed to place an advert in The GB
Weekly.
Car parks and road maintenance
The enlargement and sealing of theMotupipi Street car
park should be completed in time for the upcoming tourist
season, but there is still some uncertainty about council’s
role in the maintenance of backblock roads, such as Long
Plain Road. Councillor Martine Bouillir advised private
landowners living along such roads to ensure that any
maintenance agreements with council should be recorded
and entered on to LIMs.
Fortunately, there is much more certainty about the
proposed Pohara-Takaka cycleway, according to Carolyn.
“We’ve had two meetings of a very enthusiastic group.
We just need the money.”

Health and Safety law poses
problems for Golden Bay SPCA
Local SPCA president and
shelter manager Carol Wells
has been caring for the Bay’s
less fortunate animals for
more than 30 years.
SPCA shelter facilities
vary nationwide, but in
Golden Bay they consist of
a few cosy cages in Carol’s
back yard. Good resources
have been built up over the
years, starting with just one
building in 1989 to which
a kittenry was added, and
then another building was
funded by Internal Affairs.
An old laundry at the end
of the shed was turned into

Health and Safety laws,
which have generated much
concern for the future of

feels the expectations are too
stringent, make it problematic
for the shelter to operate

prevent her from accepting

Broad repertoire in rural hall gigs
Every week of late, The
Octagon at Patons Rock
has been ringing with the
melodious sounds of the
Golden Bay Choir rehearsing
for its two upcoming winter
concerts
These are a rare treat for
locals and visitors. The choir
tries to perform at least twice
per year, but midwinter is
usually a difficult time to hold
a large concert in Takaka.
Members hit on the idea of
performing in some of the
small rural halls, to celebrate
these historic buildings at the
heart of rural communities,
and to bring the music out
to people.
This year, the first two
halls to act as hosts will be
Puramahoi and East Takaka.
The plan is for the choir to
move around every winter to
different halls in the Bay until
it has performed in them all.

Two letters in The GB Weekly (17/6) caught my eye.
The first was about removing the grandstand to make way
for a parking lot (nothing’s changed, Joni). The other was
about the lack of walk/cycleways in Golden Bay. Both letters
reflect the fact that, today, most spending on infrastructure
favours motorised transport above human-powered transport.
However, this wasn’t always the case, as is chronicled in the
Kennet brothers’ wonderful book Ride: the story of cycling
in New Zealand.
A bit of joined-up thinking might lead to a different scenario
today. Instead of assuming the need for a huge increase in
car parking at the new Rec Centre, why not approach the
issue from a prevention-rather-than-cure perspective? After
all, you can deal with an expanding waistline by letting out
your trousers – or by reducing your waistline.
If there were safe walk/cycleways in Golden Bay, more
people would walk and cycle. This has been proved the world
over. People could bike to the Rec Centre, warming up for
their sport on the way. Bike parks take up much less room,
and are much cheaper to provide. There would be room for
bike and car parking and for the grandstand as well. And
we would be encouraging healthier lifestyles and reducing
carbon emissions.
A win-win situation. Why not?

Thank you to the Village Theatre
Here I was at our Village Theatre last Sunday, in
little Takaka, viewing the live performance of the Royal
Shakespeare Company in England, celebrating the 400th
anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. It was an unbelievable
opportunity. I paid a mere $20, while those in the British
audience may have paid at least 200 pounds.
Not only did we see the greats of British theatre performing
extracts of Shakespeare’s work, including Dames Judy Dench
and Helen Mirren, Sir Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch
etc, but also Britain’s Royal Ballet and Opera Companys, hip
hop and jazz. They even roped in Prince Charles to take a
small role.
And we must never forget that it is due to Melanie and
Gerard Hindmarsh’s heroric efforts, initially, that we have
the Village Theatre, the smallest town in NZ to have such a
venue. Read Gerard’s book Swamp Fever to learn how they
did it. And thank you, thank you, thank you to the committee
who run the theatre now and choose the very best of possible
screenings. We are so lucky!
And thank you to the local audience who refrained from
talking to each other during yesterday’s filming. It makes
such a difference.

The more we research into the history of grandstands
in New Zealand, the more we realise just what a gem our
grandstand is. But do have a look at the Reefton Racecourse
Grandstand (www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/1687) built
in 1891 and still going today (although its commentator’s
tower is sadly not quite as Dr Seuss as it once was).
Monday 27 June is the last day (for now) to sign the
grandstand petition. It is still at Wholemeal Café, Golden
Bay Pharmacy, De-lish Delicatessen, Take Note and Hammer
Hardware. We thank the petition hosts once again for their
contribution to this community cause.
A local newspaper wrote this about the first A&P Show with
the grandstand: “The seventh annual Show of the Golden Bay
Agricultural and Pastoral Association was held yesterday at
Takaka, under most successful auspices. The attendance, as
usual, was large. The residents of the Takaka Valley turned
out in full force and the number was swelled considerably
by visitors from Collingwood, Motueka, Nelson and the
Waimeas. The commodious grand stand, with the luncheon
room and bar, which has been erected on the ground since
last year, proved a great convenience, and added greatly to
the completeness of the arrangements.”

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

Bully boys
I am in full support of Stu Percival’s fight against heavyhanded TDC control services tactics outlined by him last
week (GBW letters 17/6).
Stu is a ratepayer, as am I. If he is denied the basic right
to park discretely in a beautiful place for a night, this has
terrible implications for us all. We must be extemely cautious
of changes to freedom camping rules as they will be enforced
on all of us. New Zealand was founded on access to, and
enjoyment of, the outdoors for all. We, as a nation, signed the
convention on human rights in the UN, an article of which
ensures freedom of movement within one’s own country.
Golden Bay is a special place of live and let live.
No tolerance should be given to council campaigns
against individuals and bully boys should be reigned in
immediately.
Duncan Cavaye
Women in Local Government
In October we’ll be electing our representatives on the
Tasman District Council and Golden Bay Community Board.
These are the people we love to hate, the people we moan
about when we feel they’re not listening to us, they’re out of
touch with what we value, and they treat Golden Bay as an
inferior suburb of Richmond.
The Statistics NZ website says “For the government to
represent the population, it’s important that people from
different groups - including both men and women - participate.
Representative governments engage diverse communities,
draw on the skills of the broadest group of people, and provide
checks on the use of political power.”
It also shows that women are elected in the proportion in
which they stand. So to change the balance we need to have
more women standing for public office. The present TDC
has two women out of 14. That’s 14 per cent. The national
average is 30 per cent.
So, let’s change things. If you’re a woman who cares about
your community and wants Golden Bay to be the best place
for your children to grow up, to work and live, and to grow
old and retire – consider standing for the Community Board
or Council. If you’re a man who cares for the same things –
encourage your sister, wife, mother or daughter to stand. Skills
and experience raising a family, budgeting, and listening to
friends and community, are invaluable.
More women in public positions makes things better for
women, and for everybody. Seize the opportunity.

Classic Collingwood heritage murals
As a Collingwood community enhancement project, I am
drafting a grant proposal through the Making A Difference
(MAD) Skool, to paint a series of sepia murals depicting
historic Collingwood buildings and residents on the sides
of several buildings in Tasman Street, with their owners’
approval.
To help me design the murals, I am seeking more historical
photos of the township and people. If you have any you’re
willing to loan me, I’d be grateful to see them.
Depicting these classic scenes on now-blank walls, along
with plaques describing the town in the early 20th century,
can only help make a difference to local businesses and
the community, by enhancing Collingwood’s appeal as a
tourist destination with both significant historical and scenic
attractions.
For example, the 12m-long car park wall at Tinky’s
Tavern can depict several two-storey buildings lost to fires:
Montimore’s Hotel/Accommodation, Stallard’s and Allan’s
Houses and the Post Office Hotel. Also, appropriately, the
Collingwood Motors and McNabbs Motors buildings would
be great painted on the Farewell Spit Tours office walls, near
where they originally stood.
The proposals-in-progress are on display at the NgAngA
RT Gallery, 15 Tasman Street. I welcome photos, memories,

New CAS principal: “This is
where I want to come and settle.”
Collingwood Area School’s
new principal Caroline Gray
was formally welcomed to
the school with a powhiri at
the beginning of June, but the
informal gifts and greetings
just keep coming.
When The GB Weekly
visited the school 10 days
after the ceremony, Caroline
was in the reception area
collecting the most recent
offering - a bouquet of
brightly-coloured flowers.
The new head says she is
genuinely bowled over by
the kindness of Collingwood
strangers.
“I’ve found the community
incredibly welcoming. I’ve
been inundated with cards,
good wishes, food and
flowers. Lovely people have
been leaving things on my
doorstep – jams, chutneys
and honey and all sorts of
gorgeous things.”
Such generosity
speaks volumes about
the connection between
school and community – a
relationship that Caroline
places squarely at the heart of
her agenda along with a deep New CAS principal Caroline Gray: “I want to ensure that students are not just bound to the

One Golden Bay farmer is looking beyond today’s skinny
returns in the dairy market and investing in the future of his
business.
Mark Strange, who runs a herd of 370 on the outskirts of
Collingwood, has just installed a novel piece of kit which
provides rapid on-demand cooling at milking time.
Its lustre may have dimmed over recent years, but “white
gold” is still a precious commodity and it’s never been more
important to look after it all the way from the udder to the
road tanker. That means keeping it cold and clean to prevent
harmful bacterial growth – not so easy when the stuff comes
out of the cow at 38°C. Unsurprisingly, the Ministry for
Primary Industries’ rules and regulations around storage and
handling of milk are pretty tight - and the regulatory screw is
to be tightened further from June 2018.
“It’s about compliance; the old system wasn’t doing it,”
says Mark.
The new temperature regime requires the heat to be taken
out of the milk fast. “Fonterra specifies it has to be at [+]6
°C within two hours of the end of milking.” In Mark’s case
the milk enters the vat at 3°C, so his vat refrigeration unit is
kept on standby unless the stored milk temperature reaches
5°C.
Many farmers will be forced to beef up their existing
cooling systems to meet the 2018 standard. They can choose
from a number of options, but Mark decided to go with a
Packo Ice Bank cooling system. Dairy Cooling Solutions (part
of Eurotec) are the New Zealand distributors of the Belgian
technology, and the company’s sales engineer Tom Brown
oversaw the Strange farm project. A trio of local contractors
featuring Frank Van Grunsven on refrigeration, Alan Williams
on heat-exchangers and Nick Riley on wiring and switch-gear,
did all the installation work. Frank hopes it will be the first
job of many for the team, who plan to roll out the technology
across the Bay over the next few years.
In the meantime, Frank is chuffed that Mark’s Ice Bank is
not only the first for his team, but also the first in Golden Bay
and the first to be installed on the Mainland.
The cooling kit may be cutting edge, but it’s thoroughly
tried and tested and fully supported by Dairy Cooling
Solutions (DCS) and Packo, says Tom. “DCS have had nearly
20 units installed and operating in the Waikato and Far North
over the last 12 months, so we know it works.”
The Ice Bank produces and stores a reserve of ice that can
be used to make large volumes of chilled water at very short
notice. The zero-degree liquid is then pumped through a heat
exchanger and rapidly cools a counter flow of milk quickly
and efficiently without freezing it.
The main benefits of this ingenious technology are that
chillers don’t need to be switched on during milking, farmers
don’t have to invest in large cooling units, and they can
potentially eliminate the requirement for precooling bore
or creek water. But there is a further bottom-line bonus,
according to Tom. “The unit runs at night to build up the
ice reserve, so it saves on electricity costs by using cheaper
rates where available.”
Dairy NZ estimates that milk cooling accounts for about
30 per cent of the total energy costs of operating a dairy.
Fortunately for farmers, they can reap rewards without
forking out for a completely new setup as an ice builder unit
can be integrated into their existing cooling system. The size
of the herd essentially determines the capacity of unit required
and, of course, the size of the bill. Mark estimates that for his
system, which is designed to handle 10,000 litres per day
and features a monitoring system that sends him SMS alerts,
the total cost amounted to around $55,000. “That’s for the
complete package up and running.”
He’s matter-of-fact about the constant changes in the
industry. “You’ve got to ride the highs and lows.”
Content that his dairy shed is now future-proofed – at
least for a few years, Mark has the demeanour of a man who
knows he’s made a sound investment – in fact he appears
to be quite chilled.

Bhumlutar, Nepal says “thank you Golden Bay”
Bhumlutar/Golden Bay Friendship School students in front of their new school. Photo: Supplied.
The name of the new Bhumlutar/Golden Bay Friendship
School in Nepal reflects a remarkable connection between
Bhumlutar village and some Golden Bay locals.
After Nepal’s devastating earthquake in April 2015 (and
following aftershocks, avalanches and landslides), Thomas
(Taj) Rabosky, Kees Brinkman and Rita Scholten formed
Golden Bay Friends of Nepal to fundraise for the village of
Bhumlutar. A total of $6,741.30 (and counting) has been
raised, with the support of many local businesses as well as
individuals.
Taj Rabosky had travelled to Nepal many times and had
strong connections with Bhumlutar, especially with Achni
Dev, a local teacher. Achni is overseeing the distribution of
funds to the village and the rebuilding of its ruined school.
“Achni can’t believe that people over the other side of
the world are thinking of him and his village, and is so
grateful.”
Taj describes Achni as “such a special person….and kept
in touch as I travelled. He was always a ray of happiness.” Taj
says that after the earthquakes, however, he knew “from the
tone of [Achni’s] emails that he was in a pretty dire situation
and so we starting providing some help, and it has grown
into a really neat project”.
Bhumlutar village is off the trekking route in Nepal and did
not receive any help after the earthquake. Rita, her partner
Stef Jongkind and their three teenage children were in Nepal
when the 2015 earthquake struck and had just passed through
the affected areas. Via Golden Bay Friends of Nepal they
decided to support the village.
Golden Bay Friends of Nepal initially raised funds for food,
water, medicine, blankets, house construction materials,
hospital visits, mosquito nets, rain tarps and blankets. The
next round of fundraising money (in August -September 2015)
was used for materials to rebuild the school.
Rita says that the village reconstructed the school in only
five weeks, and worked 14 hours a day on it. Some of the
funds were also used to buy chickens for the village, and
now, with 65 purchased, eggs and chicks are sold and the
funds raised are used in the upkeep of the school. Achni Dev
worked to rebuild the school and is now the sole teacher,
working in a voluntary capacity. The school has 60 children.
Another 30 from other villages are registered and would like
to attend.
Taj is returning to Bhumlutar in early July. He is looking
into the possibility of taking several laptops or tablets for
the children to use in the classroom: preferably a group of
laptops that have the same chargers and operating systems,
“so that it’s easier for the kids to learn the same system.” He
would be happy to hear from anyone who may be able to
donate such a set.
He is also hoping to take Achni Dev and a couple of other
villagers to a nearby organic gardening course with the aim
of helping the village start a community garden.
“Further aims for the village are solar lights at the school,
a water filter for drinking water, the construction of a kitchen
and a separate eating room.”
Taj says that none of this would be possible without the
strong commitment and meticulous record keeping of Achni
Dev.
“It humbles me and amazes me that he is yet to ask for
one penny for payment or salary for his time. He is just so
grateful that he has friends in the little community here in New
Zealand that want to help and want to provide assistance.
He sends me lots of emails expressing that gratitude and
that love.”
Golden Bay Friends of Nepal would like to thank the many
local business and locals who have supported them over the
past year. Recently, the group has received New Zealand

Hoihos won by default to Drastixs. An intense six on five reduced field

obstruction (and hacking) actually are. Good play and some great goals
by both teams. 7-7 was the final score.

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