Twenty-five years of community service was applauded with a retrospective at a recent celebratory gathering. Chief fire officer Jon Harwood congratulated Tasman District Council and the Government for recognising the need to fund rural fire forces. He acknowledged Cr Paul Sangster, Deputy Mayor Tim King and former TDC community services manager Lloyd Kennedy for establishing the current station in 2002 and for their continued support. He proclaimed the importance of local solutions for local issues. The Upper Takaka force started out in a shed that resembled a bus shelter and had a single vintage Bedford appliance. “What could go wrong did go wrong,” confessed Jon. Today, the team operates three appliances and is trained in traffic management as well as fire-fighting. To celebrate the silver jubilee, all members were given recognition, and Forest and Rural Fire Association of New Zealand (FRFANZ) medals were presented for the first time. The newest rural fire-fighter received a certificate and all other members received three-year medals and bars. Two long-serving volunteers, Steve Baker and Ivan “Whippy” Riordan, received their gold stars for 25 years of meritorious service. Doug Ashford, now retired, was present to receive accolades. Jon acknowledged those rural fire mentors who had inspired the younger volunteers. Of special mention were the late George Duff, A great effort - Well done to the Team!

These roles are now ably filled by Neil Gardiner and Ian Reade, respectively. The Takaka Volunteer Fire Brigade was marked for special mention as the Upper Takaka team’s comrades. “It is a privilege to work alongside you,” said Jon, “except when you K28 us.” In layspeak that means turning them back. Vegetation fires present a major risk to people and property. Rural Fire and the Department of Conservation bear responsibility for the national parks and open land that envelops Golden Bay. This season the forecast is already on alert. All open fires require a permit. Contact rural fire officer Neil Gardiner on 525 8811. Sara Chapman Golden Bay Recreational Facility’s final plans The Gibbons Construction team presented the final plans for the new Golden Bay Recreational Facility last Thursday. The user groups were given a slide-show presentation of the concept design, floor plan and site plan before being taken on a virtual tour. All the sports clubs, the A&P Association and GB Contract Bridge club were taken through the front door and into each space, the function centre, meeting room, squash courts, gymnasium and then upstairs to the mezzanine with views overlooking the gym, courts and fields. The final stop was into the changing rooms and then out to the sports fields. The plans received unanimous approval and were met with enthusiasm and excitement. Shane Trench, Gibbons Construction chief operating officer, talked about the collaboration with Lance Robinson of Specialised Structures. This enabled the gymnasium design to stretch to a full-size netball court and still be within budget. “While Gibbons is awarded major projects in Nelson and Tasman this will be our first project in Golden Bay and we are thrilled.” Dean Lund, Rec Park Centre Project chairman, was forthright in asking, “Does anyone have any grumbles, if so speak up now, if not then we will proceed to the detailed designs and council consent applications”. John Byrne, GB Squash Club rep, congratulated the working party, Red Box and Gibbons. “You have achieved a design that has exceeded our expectations and which will give us a fantastic new facility. Well done Dean and team. Also, it’s a bonus to be able to retain the current building while the new building is underway.” The design and build proposal costs remain below the allocated budget of $3.6 million, of which $3.2 million will be provided by Tasman District Council.

U murdered the heart of the Takaka people. You drilled nine holes and put poison in them, then you said bye and left forever. The people are sad this is why I write this, And I hope you think twice before you do it again. I hope you regret this what you have done, murdered the Village Green tree in town. I as a kid feel strongly about this, that tree was someone and always will be. So I write this poem to make you think twice, to see what you’ve done to the heart of the town. Anonymous (12-year-old) It’s just not on Being woken up by fireworks at 2.30am. It’s just not on! Helen Beck Reg announces candidacy By now readers of The GB Weekly will know of my drama at the TDC chambers. I would like to thank councillor Bouillir, for coming in to bat for me on time extension. However I was disappointed that the remaining 11 councillors did not support her. To have to close one’s business for a day, drive six hours to the venue to be given three minutes to address a 10-paragraph document taken weeks to prepare by council staff, flies in the face of natural justice, fair play and the democratic right for free speech. No wonder Golden Bay ratepayers do not go over the hill to debate with full council. Changes must be made to rules of this nature. This letter is to confirm I will stand next year to represent our ward. My goal will be to fight and challenge the slings and arrows of outrageous bureaucracy. To restore power to our elected councillors, respect to their office and their duty to ratepayers, as those first to serve. We must stop the culture of councillors being servants of staff. Reg Turner Clifton corner There are “stop” signs at the corner of Clifton Road/Boyle Street and the main highway. There are yellow “no passing” stripes on the highway. Obviously drivers need to take care at this intersection. So, why do so many drivers not stop properly at these “stop” signs? Nothing to live for? At an intersection controlled by a “stop” sign: come to a complete stop (do not just slow down); stop where you can see vehicles coming from all directions; stay stopped until you have given way to all other vehicles (this includes cycles and motorcycles, etc); you must not go until it is safe.

It was a real joy to walk slowly around, enjoying all that is there. For it is a garden full of colour and warmth and peace. I was moved and delighted to see not only memorials for New Zealanders killed in world wars caused by political leaders; but also memorials for those killed in Māori land wars, and for fallen foes. John Lee Taiwan cherry trees I know killing trees is topical in Golden Bay right now, so my question is why aren’t locals killing the Taiwan cherry that is spreading and will eventually threaten treasured natural areas? Staying in Parapara last weekend I was dismayed to see large specimens there that will be spreading this invasive plant throughout the area. I note it is also widespread in Collingwood and no doubt many other parts of Golden Bay. Here in Nelson, at Atawhai, we have seen how prolific the Taiwan cherry is and how it established under native forest cover. You have an opportunity to act now and remove this plant that has become a real threat to our biodiversity.

TUMEKE LOGGING OR $2199 each 330ml I’ve followed the flag debate with some amusement. The instigator of this farce, John Key, let it be known that he favoured a design incorporating a silver fern, so the independent selection panel chose three silver ferns and an unfurling fern. Social media reared up and had the so-called “Red Peak” flag added to the list. This seemed to me an acknowledgement the Chinese would be taking over and the name of Mount Cook would be changed to Red Peak. But now it looks as though we’ll be joining the TPP and the solution is simple. Just delete the Union Jack and replace it with the Stars and Stripes. $26 million well spent to keep our minds off more serious matters.

The morning was kept interesting by a lively and somewhat heated discussion on the recreation centre project, a presentation by Laurence Boomert on his new project The Community Game, and a celebratory morning tea in honour of Crowther Reynish’s contribution to the community. Takaka Memorial Park. Alan Vaughan was first up at the public forum to discuss a hard-to-see step just under a foot high near the roadside of the newly completed Memorial Park in Takaka. Alan said he had trouble navigating the step on his mobility scooter. He presented some photos of its poor visibility to the public eye. The board agreed something would need to be done. Golden Bay Recreational Facility. Sara Chapman and Dean Lund from the Golden Bay Shared Recreation Facility Inc (GBSRF) updated the board on the progress of the project, and presented the plans. Dean commented on the huge amount of positive feedback from local clubs and groups, and said that costing had showed that the design could be built well below the $3.6 million budget. Gibbons Construction was formally appointed by council on 14 October, and a working party meeting to finalise plans was held on 21 October. A presentation of those final plans to all user members was held on 5 November, with construction to commence on 1 February. However, an email was sent both to GBSRF and Gibbons on 9 November from project manager Don Robertson announcing that “all design/project work needs to cease immediately until we have received authority from the council to accept the increased costs”. Unbeknown to the councillors and GBSRF, the tender panels committee had capped the budget at a level below the $3.6 million, despite requesting specified variations to increase the size of the function room and kitchen, as well as provision for another set of toilets. In addition, civil engineers Aurecon NZ have identified that the building will require a firewall along the boundary with the A&P land, which adds $50-60,000 of unforeseen costs. Project fundraiser Sara Chapman commented: “We believe Gibbons Construction has delivered a fantastic plan well below budget. Why have they been asked to stop? Council process defies logic.” Dean raised his concerns about potential delays. “With the firewall, the revised numbers have come in $120,000 below $3.6 million, and we’re getting more than we planned for. What is the problem?” TDC community development manager Susan Edwards provided a clarification. “We need to work through the cost that Gibbons has given us to see whether it is a fair price. If we accept a tender and then introduce a variation, we just need to check that is an accurate figure.” Dean replied that the tender panels committee did not have the expertise to make that assessment. Sara concluded: “As council funding is set at $3.2 million, any expenditure above that amount is from the community contribution. As a community we choose this plan with no further budget cuts.” Building and resource consents. Mrs McClellan expressed enthusiasm for the seminar/clinic/workshop for building, intended to answer all queries on the topic of building consents and resource consents. In attendance will be the building inspector and the resource consent planner. Carolyn described it as “a wonderful opportunity”. The free seminar will be held at the Takaka Fire Station today, Friday 13 November, at 10am, with a repeat seminar at 1pm. Nina Hindmarsh Ed. The rest of the community board report will be in next week’s paper. golden bay’s news in brief Weekend workshop Community gardens International shamanic teacher Elisabeth von Madarasz will return to Golden Bay this month to share experiential tools for connecting to personal mastery and growth. The workshop “5D Tools to Transmute and Transcend a 3D World” promises to be worth the long wait. Elisabeth has trained and taught with Sandra Ingerman, Robert Morningsky and is a graduate of the Tom Brown Jr Survival and Philosophy workshops. In 1998 Elisabeth founded the Academy of Shamanic Studies (NZ) which aims to share in a way that honours the spiritual purpose and cultural heritage of each person as well as the Spirit and vibrations of the land. Elisabeth will also be available for shamanic healing sessions during her time in the Bay, please contact her at www.shamanic.ac.nz.

The hall will be freed up for other bookings over the next year at least. “We are mindful of the stress the arrangements had placed on those who had made previous bookings,” says Timaru District Council communications advisor Chris Choat. “In opening up the hall to future bookings we need to make people aware that its longer-term future may still change. Current bookings will be honoured but new bookings will be limited to dates through to January 2017.” Mr Choat explains that TDC has said that with the development of the new Golden Bay Recreational Facility, one of the nearby halls will have to close. “While no decision has been made, the Pohara Hall could be considered for closure. A full consultation process on which hall is to close will be undertaken next year. It’s expected the possible future use of the hall will be an ongoing discussion with the community.” This is in line with statements he made in August, describing “a process that will include plenty of opportunity for people to have their say.” Pohara locals say they welcome the certainty offered by the decision to honour existing bookings and take new ones for the next year. Some are critical of the process by which council has apparently begun negotiations on possible future uses of the hall before undertaking the promised public consultation about the hall’s future. “The process has been done upside down,” says Reto Balzer from Pohara. “Council must consult with the Pohara community first, before talking to prospective new users. There are big questions around whether the land and the hall can even be put to any other kind of use. That hall is a gem. I think the community should get a committee together to look after it and safeguard it.” Neil Wilson on friday next week the shopping locally month-long campaign begins This c ampai is an i gn nitiati ve by the Go Promo lden Bay ti and w on Associat ion ill get The GB star ted in W next F eekly riday classified ads Personal Public Notices Trades & Services Health & Wellbeing For Sale To Give Away Lost & Found 8 8 9 10 11 11 11 Wanted Employment Property Eating Out Learning Church Services Upcoming Events 12 12 12 14 14 14 contact us phone: 525 8679 fax: 525 8699 email: admin@gbweekly.co.nz article idea or request We welcome your suggestions.

There is no question about this as we see those little Fozzie-Bear faces frolicking around the paddock every time we go out for a drive. I realise that for many of you, the very thought of having that cute little bundle ending up on your dinner plate is quite offensive. And, because we are all different (and we should celebrate our differences), there are also some of us who are happy to hear the smoky sizzle of meat on the BBQ. ~~~~~~~~~~ And, yes, the very sight of a burnished leg of lamb emerging from the oven, meat literally falling from the bone, is a beautiful sight. This little recipe is from Rick Stein’s newest book From Venice to Istanbul. The TV series of the same name is screening on Prime on Sundays at 8.30pm. This recipe is of Turkish origin and This recipe for Lamb tandir is of Turkish origin. Photo: Fiona Feasey. in fact many of my favourite lamb recipes come from this part of the world— Greece and ~~~~~~~~~~ Turkey in particular. We served this with some tarted-up couscous. I just love the vibrant juicy explosion of pomegranate seeds, and the Lamb tandir addition of pistachios, pomegranate seeds and fresh mint 1 shoulder or leg of lamb gives the dish an exotic Middle Eastern taste, feel and look. 2 carrots, chopped 1 onion, sliced Couscous with pistachios and pomegranate 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and left whole 2 tablespoons of olive oil 50ml olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped Juice of ½ lemon 2 cups of wholemeal couscous 1 teaspoon of sea salt 1 cinnamon stick 10 grinds of black pepper 1 teaspoon of ground cumin 1 teaspoon of dried oregano ½ teaspoon of turmeric 2-3 sprigs of rosemary, leaves detached and chopped 3 cardamom pods, bruised 2 cups of water Sea salt Heat the oven to 170°C Ground black pepper 2½ cups of chicken or vegetable stock Place the carrot, onion, and garlic in a large roasting pan. Zest and juice of half a lemon Place the lamb on top. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, 1 handful of fresh mint leaves lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano and rosemary. Pour this ½ cup of pistachios over the lamb, rubbing it into the meat. Pour 1 cup of water seeds of 1 pomegranate into the dish, cover well with tinfoil and place into the oven. Cook for four hours, adding the remaining cup of water half way through cooking. If the lamb is well coloured it can be left to rest for half an hour before serving; otherwise place under the grill for a while until well coloured. Strain the juices and remove any fat from the surface. Keep warm. Pull the meat apart using two forks and serve with the gravy on the side.

Heat a heavy-based pan over medium low heat. Place the oil and the onion into the pan and stir until the onion has softened and is turning golden around the edges. Add the couscous and stir around for a minute to gently toast the grains before adding the spices. Stir around for another minute and add the stock and lemon zest and juice. Raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir to keep the grains separate. Cover with a lid, lower the heat and cook for a couple of minutes until the couscous has absorbed all the liquid. Keep warm until serving. Fluff up again using a fork. Turn onto a serving dish and scatter the nuts, seeds and mint over the top. Serve immediately with the lamb. ~~~~~~~~~~ Another great taste of spring lamb comes by serving it grilled with a new potato salad. This is quick, easy and tastes as it should, full of flavour sensations. The mint brings it all together. This is a loose recipe so you can chop and change amounts to suit. New potato salad New potatoes Mayonnaise Grainy mustard Salt and pepper 4 lamb chops per person Steamed asparagus A good handful of fresh mint leaves Olive oil Place the potatoes into a large pot of salted water and add a sprig of mint. Cook until just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to cool. Mix together some mayonnaise, mustard, sea salt and ground pepper and stir through the cooled potatoes. Before serving, scatter the salad generously with the fresh mint. Brush each lamb chop lightly with olive oil, and season. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side until well coloured and still moist and pink in the centre. Serve with the potato salad and steamed asparagus. Fiona Feasey The GB Weekly, Friday 13 novembER 2015 Designated NZMCA area at Tarakohe Council is working on a long-term solution for a situation on land near the Pohara Boat Club. In an effort to manage competing uses in the short term, an area next to the boat club has been designated for self-contained parking for NZ Motor Caravan Association (NZMCA) motorhomes and caravans. This will allow the use of the rest of the land for a wider group of users The short-term arrangement has been discussed with the Golden Bay Community Board, Port Tarakohe Advisory Group and the Pohara Boat Club. The land is a local purpose reserve for harbour works and recreational use, and is used by a wide number of groups. Over time the number of motorhomes and camping vehicles has increased, inhibiting access by the wider community. The designated area will be overseen by the NZ Motor Caravan Association on a licence to occupy basis. This is a short-term arrangement for this summer only. Members of the association will be given the combination for the padlock on the gates securing the area. Small works have been carried out to tidy and contain the area in preparation for this use, in particular the entrance. No consents are needed, and members of the NZMCA are contributing volunteer labour. By providing a designated area for self-contained campervans, it is hoped that pressure on other recreational areas will be eased – providing more opportunities for picnicking and recreational activities by tourists and locals. There will be no long-term commitment to any arrangement until the strategy for Port Tarakohe has been adopted by Council after community consultation.

It’s nice to know one of our toys might be enjoyed by the Duchess’ grandchildren.” Neil Wilson All computer repairs Virus removal / protection Remote or on-site support for PC & Mac Sales, solutions, advice Ph Josh 525 8633 027 831 4156 contact@joshuatree.co.nz Techy of choice for The GB Weekly NEED BUILDING MATERIALS?

The standard was very high, meaning that one little mistake or small defect with the log would be enough to put you out of contention for that race. On Saturday the chopping took place at the Blenheim Show. The results were completely dominated by the Australians, with a strong chop by Steve to finish third in the big standing event, being one of the few highlights for the Kiwi axemen. Steve also made the small standing final while Dave made the small underhand final, both finishing in the middle of the field. The Speights Ale House in Nelson was the venue for Sunday’s event. This was almost a reversal of the previous day, with New Zealanders getting the better of the results. Both Golden Bay axemen were featured in the placings. Steve made the final of the small standing, small underhand and big standing, with a second placing in the small underhand. Dave made the final of the small standing, big standing and big underhand, with a third placing in the small standing. Steve and Dave then joined forces to compete in the two-man combination event, a relay race where the first axeman cuts an underhand and the second a standing. They finished in second place.

The proposal to stop this section of unformed road is being considered pursuant to Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1974. The road proposed to be stopped is shown as Section 1 on SO Plan 487432. The land area is 1.6429 hectares. The road stopping application is being made by Rainbow Valley Community Ltd which owns freehold land adjacent to the road to be stopped. The road itself is 40m wide in most places. If the road stopping is approved, the public will retain the right to use a minimum of 20m of public road and other public land adjacent to the Anatoki River. If the applicant is able to acquire the land involved, it has offered a 10m wide esplanade strip alongside the Anatoki River where there is no legal access at present. When combined with the 10m wide esplanade strip, public access will be possible from the northern end of McCallum Road to the Southern end, alongside the river. A number of dwellings encroach onto the legal road corridor. The proposal is intended to improve legal access alongside the Anatoki River, while allowing the applicant to acquire the legal road underneath the dwellings. An unformed portion of McCallum Road is to be moved slightly to the south. The width of the road will remain the same. Plans of the proposed road stopping are available by Email: info@tasman.govt.nz. Plans may also be viewed at the Takaka Service Centre and Richmond Office of the Tasman District Council. Copies of plans, and this public notice, will also be available on the Council’s website. For further information please contact Robert Cant at Tasman District Council on Ph. 03 543 8400 or by Email: robert.cant@tasman.govt.nz Any objections to the proposed road stopping must be made in writing to the address below and must be received no later than 4.00 pm on Friday 18 December 2015. This is the first of the two notices required under the Local Government Act 1974.
