They say family safety is not an individual’s or an organisation’s responsibility: the entire community needs to be involved to combat the epidemic. Safe Families Golden Bay is a communityled initiative funded by Te Rito Nelson. It aims to raise awareness of the family violence in Golden Bay - and is saying that we all need to pitch in if we want to see change. When community worker Emma Brazendale did a survey on family violence in Takaka, she said the overwhelming response from local residents was that people didn’t believe family violence was of concern in the area. According to Emma, people were “stunned” when she recounted the local statistics. At least one incident of family violence is reported in Golden Bay every week, which according to Emma is a frightening prospect when you consider how many family members could be involved in each case. Local data shows there were seven reported incidents of family violence in Golden Bay in July 2015, and six in August. At the end of September there were a staggering six reported incidents in that one week alone, a figure expected to rise leading up to and over Christmas. Nationally, police investigated over 100,000 instances of domestic violence in 2014, according to statistics released by the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse (NZFVC), a figure up from 95,000 the year before. However, the It’s Not OK website and Statistics New Zealand report that “Police recorded a family violence investigation on average every five-and-a-half minutes in 2014…Only about 25 per cent of family violence incidents are reported to Police.” Says Emma: “We’re here to spread the message that everyone needs to take it on as their responsibility to talk about all forms of family violence. Reach out and ask for help if you see anything, or if you’re experiencing family violence. It doesn’t matter who you tell; just tell someone.” Violence isn’t limited to physical abuse, and includes sexual, financial, emotional and psychological violence, and includes neglect. The latter forms can be harder to detect, says Safe Families project manager, Abbie Langford. “And they often do the most damage.” According to Community Workers Services manager Glynn Rogers, the rural nature of our community means families may tend toward concealment. “People often believe they have a lot to lose if it gets out,” says Glynn. “And living in isolated areas makes it easier to hide what’s going on. Starting to talk about it and seeking help is often the beginning of a life-changing journey.” Glynn is passionate about getting the message out to the community that family violence is not OK and that there is a way for people to change their behaviour. “There’s no excuse for family violence,” says Glynn. “However, they may not have the skills to do Safe Families core group members, clockwise from top left: Emma Brazendale, Glynn Rogers, Maureen Harte, Simon Jones and Abbie Langford. Photo: Nina Hindmarsh. something different and it may be to do with the way they were brought up.” Glynn says there are numerous resources available to help both the victims and perpetrators, and that it’s vital to seek help before somebody gets arrested or seriously hurt. She has also worked with abused men. “They too can become victims.” Counsellor Simon Jones says that for perpetrators, violence can be about seeking to take control of their lives. Simon has been working with men and in Stopping Violence programmes for over 20 years. He is in the planning stages of creating an ongoing weekly men’s group. “We need more awareness and help available for men, more networks and support, as they are often the shyest people to reach out for help.” According to statistics, elder abuse and neglect is also an epidemic and on the rise in New Zealand. Research suggests one in 10 elderly may be subject to financial abuse in their lives, and that in 75 per cent of reported cases, the perpetrator is a family member – 50 per cent being adult children. “Elder abuse is often unseen, and sometimes the only people they see are those they receive support from, making it much harder to report abuse,” says Simon. Emma stresses that although Safe Families Golden Bay is based at the Community Centre, it is an open and community-led initiative. “We’ve got the funding and it’s about the community deciding what they want to do with it,” she said. The core group of eight – which includes Maureen Harte, Loretta Horton, Roger File and Conny Schrader - has been meeting monthly to discuss strategies. Abbie Langford has been employed as the group’s project manager. She was involved in Women’s Refuge and the It’s Not OK campaign in Christchurch for many years. A logo competition has just opened to the public and will close on October 31. Entry forms will be sent out to schools and are also available from the Community Workers, as are details of the prize. Entrants are invited to design a logo representing Safe Families in Golden Bay, which will be owned by the group who retain the rights to adjust the winning logo as necessary. A planned launch will raise the group’s profile in the community and it will unveil its new logo. It hopes to heighten awareness by sponsoring a local sports team (and one is interested). Another idea is to publish the local family violence statistics on a weekly or monthly basis in The GB Weekly. Keep an eye out for more details of the logo competition and events planned by Safe Families Golden Bay. “And never be afraid to seek help or offer help if you believe either you, or someone else, is the victim of family violence,” concludes Emma. Nina Hindmarsh *Domestic violence takes many forms It involves abusive or intimidating behaviour carried out by a partner, friend or family member to control, dominate or make you feel afraid. The violence doesn’t have to be physical - it can be emotional, psychological, financial or sexual, or it can be threats to abuse you in any of these ways. If you or your children are experiencing any domestic violence, you need to get help. Golden Bay Community Workers 88 Commercial St Phone: 525 9728.

The works have been created for NgAngA’s Collingwood and Beyond show. The exhibition features people and places within or around the historic township. “For me, ‘beyond’ is from Parapara, up to Bainham, out to Wharariki and over to Westhaven,” says the artist. The exhibits take the viewer on a journey, in oil, pastel and watercolour, through many of these vivid land- and seascapes. Subjects include a flock of spoonbills, a herd of Jersey cows at Pakawau and the formations of Mount Burnett and Archway Island. Whether representational, impressionist or abstract, the paintings ooze affection for the people and their surroundings. “It reflects my love for the community and the area.” NgAngA says his move to Collingwood late last year inspired him to pick up his palette and mix his oil paints after a relatively dormant period. After being embraced by the community, the artist is repaying the favour. “For the first seven days, all new art in the exhibition will be at mates’ rates – 50 per cent off. And then it will be at ‘Golden Bay rates’ – 25 per cent off NgAngA puts the finishing touches on a new work for his exhibition. Photo: Jo Richards. until the 1 January. It’s my way of supporting locals.” NgAngA has supported fellow artists from the day his gallery opened - helping them avoid commercial rates by selling their work on a koha commission basis. The democratic painter is also sharing his award-winning talent, bringing art to the people and holding regular classes for those keen to have a go. “Master classes are on Tuesdays and beginners are on Thursdays.” He’s happy to teach all ages and abilities – from Takaka preschoolers to the mature ladies of Pakawau Rural Women – and says he always gets results. “I guarantee to get people painting.” The evidence is on display in the window of his gallery; a dozen pastel portraits of Vincent van Gogh, drawn in the style of the great master, by NgAngA’s novices. “It was their first-ever portrait.” Clearly enthusiastic about infecting locals with his love of painting, NgAngA also hopes to spread his message to those beyond Collingwood. “I’m thinking about offering art classes to visitors and tourists – a oneday class that will give them the painting bug for life.” In the meantime, the artist is busy putting the finishing touches to his new exhibits. If everything goes according to plan, he’s likely to be busy every spring: “Collingwood and Beyond will be an annual event, opening on the 10th day of the 10th month every year.” Collingwood and Beyond opens at 10am on Saturday 10 October at NgAngART, Tasman Street, Collingwood.

Work to improve safety at the intersection of Abel Tasman Drive and Motupipi Street in Golden Bay has begin. The work will replace the existing roundabout to allow traffic travelling on Motupipi Street to turn freely on to Abel Tasman Drive. Traffic travelling from Meihana Street and Factory Road will be required to give way under the new layout. New kerb and channel and raised traffic islands will be installed on Meihana Street. As well as making the intersection safer, the work will also allow for the footpath on Abel Tasman Drive to be extended along Motupipi Street. There will be some disruption to traffic travelling along this route while the work is carried out over several weeks, and motorists should expect minor delays. Fulton Hogan is carrying out the works on behalf of the Tasman District Council.

Aren’t they the most wonderful, creative, infuriating, and complex beings on the planet? Full of energy, optimism and potential, they go full-steam ahead towards adulthood. Sometimes, however, during the transition from boy to man or from girl to woman, things go a bit off track. Keeping it all on the rails is a challenge that every parent faces, but there is help out there; increasingly it’s recognised that a conscious rite of passage can safely guide teens on their journey from adolescent to responsible young adult. The alternative is not good. As an old African proverb warns: “If we do not initiate the young, they will burn down the village to feel the heat.” Through its Tracks and Tides programmes, the Rites of Passage Foundation (ROPF) has been initiating our teenagers and safeguarding the village for years. The local organisation is part of a growing worldwide movement doing similar good work. On Monday 12 October, two of the leading lights in this global network, Frederick Marx and Dr Arne Rubenstein, will be in the Bay to present a unique one-off event for those parenting their teenagers “Across the Fire”. ROPF founder Jim Horton believes the Bay is privileged to be hosting these top names. “These men are international leaders in their fields and are combining strengths to create this very special evening.” Academy-nominated filmmaker Frederick Marx promises to be a fascinating speaker. He is currently making a 90minute feature-length documentary about the importance of healthy rites of passage and mentorship for teens transitioning to adulthood. The project reflects his commitment to the cause. “My belief is that every teen, deep in their bones, knows they deserve healthy, not destructive, rites of passage and mature adult mentorship.” The evening’s other star contributor, Dr Rubinstein, is an expert on adolescent development, with 30 years’ experience as a doctor, counsellor, mentor and workshop facilitator. His programmes and seminars are designed to make the transition from child to young adult both safe and healthy, with a particular focus on coming-of-age rites of passage. His book The Making of Men is a practical handbook for parents and teachers. While in the Bay, the two presenters will assist Jim with the launch of his own book. “It’s a compilation of true experiences that capture the mysteries and magic of rites of passage,” explains Jim. “I started writing my story and sent it out to a dozen other people around the world, saying ‘write about your rites’.” What came back, he says, was profound. “There are some very deep personal stories.” When his Book of many Voices is published, Jim hopes it will inspire and empower readers. “It will be a manual about how to do rites of passage.” Boys to men: New young men return at the end of their Tracks event. Two international leaders in the field are speaking about rites of passage in Takaka next week. Photo: Jo Richards. Drawing upon his extensive knowledge and experience, Jim reasons that the nature of the rite determines the quality of the passage. “Everyone has multiple rites of passage, but it’s important that it’s conscious, acknowledged and recognised.” Parenting Teenagers “Across the Fire”. Presented by Dr Arne Rubinstein and Frederick Marx on Monday Oct 12 at 6.30pm, Golden Bay High School. Admission: Koha.

Tony and Ann Lindsay Transition to school Specials valid 9 October to 18 October Kia ora koutou. Thank you for this opportunity to clarify some of the points reported in The GB Weekly (25/9) on the topic of transition to school. Whilst it is great to see this topic getting press, there were a number of inaccuracies that I believe are important to set straight. The literature shows that making friends in the classroom is the most salient feature in academic success, but having an interest in symbols (letters and numbers) is also an important factor. Whilst social connections are greatly important to some children, there are also children who experience success by being introverted, and that is fine. The idea of cultural capital is a sociological take on the simple economic idea of capital, it is useful as a metaphor for transitions because it reminds us that early childhood services and schools need to work together to ensure children feel that their experiences are relevant in both settings. Finally, New Zealand is one of three countries in the OECD where children begin school on their fifth birthday; this is largely cultural and may change as the Education Act is updated over the coming year. For those interested in reading more, I suggest visiting the ERO website and taking a look at the 2015 national report on continuity of learning.

TDC statistics state we give 80 per cent of our requests, problems, and decision making direct to staff. Only nine per cent of us take our concerns to councillors. This leaves them out of the loop of our issues. By default we are giving more power and control of our lives to staff and less to our representatives. Thus the expression “the tail wagging the dog”. Our councillors are becoming servants of the staff. This is role reversal. Councillors are responsible for policy planning and governance, overseeing our community where we can work and play, in the pursuit of happiness. We have allowed this role reversal by not empowering our elected members and not involving them in our daily concerns or issues. It appears impossible to hold staff to account for their actions. They have life careers in the public service and job security. Our councillors are unable to absorb all the complex LGA rules and procedures in which staff are trained. This produces a we know better than you attitude. This inhibits councillors from being the bosses of staff. Next year we must elect councillors willing to take control of governance, bringing power, control, respect and service over that of staff. Those who stand to serve us must have the courage to change the current culture. “They that pay the piper, call the tune.“ We are they.

He infers again that smart-meters are the only meters which can be certified as accurate. In fact, all analogue meters are certified at production point and, like smart-meters, need to be recertified every 15 years. If your analogue meter is close to, or older than, 15 years you should be given the option of an analogue replacement. If you have a computer and the online tool, the smart-meter can tell you to stay cold, eat raw or hot-wash only your hands, because on that cold day, around dinner time, or when the kids return from muddy sport, your power usage is higher. If you need the help of your computer, rather than guessing, won’t you then be using even more electricity? Surely the responsibility lies with the power companies to be less greedy in their pricing and more understanding in human well-being. Modern society relies more and more on electricity (eg heat pumps not wood burners) and a limited budget should not mean limited healthiness. Wayne claims Network Tasman “exists for the benefit of the consumers”; that’s Contact Energy and other power companies, not you and me.

A previous manager of The Village Theatre, Sarah Kaye, is stepping into the arts worker role for the Golden Bay Arts Council, recently held by Georgina West. Sarah managed the theatre for 10 years. She has also been the treasurer for the arts committee, but admits she’s not much of an artist. “I’m a businessperson, and the focus of the arts worker is more behind the scenes.” Committee member Grant Knowles says that the fact she’s not an artist is a strength. “She has bought to the job a very sound business model, in that she’s very good at the financial and business stuff normally the things artists are useless at!” laughs Grant. In her new role as arts worker, Sarah will tend to the business and administrative side of the Arts Council’s dealings. She is its spokesperson for information and upcoming events, and Photo: Nina Hindmarsh. is the first point of contact for funding applications through Creative Communities. Sarah says she’s excited about some of the upcoming events, such as Bay Art. “It’s really starting to get amped up now, and we want to remind everyone to submit their pieces on 22 October.” Young@Art will open at the Art Bank on Labour Weekend, and a life-drawing course still sits in the pipeline. Sarah says the current exhibition at Art Bank, the last of the four winter exhibitions, reflects people’s interpretations of Kiwi cleverness and ingenuity. It is open until October 19, and also features a special guest exhibition of Geoff Heath’s work. Sarah will be working every Thursday at the Art Bank. Keep an eye out for details about two special Art Bank exhibitions in November, before the busy summer season starts up.

It all starts with the seed. Save seed from plants that have grown well, ideally over several seasons, and so are adapted to our particular climate. The next best choice is seeds saved in New Zealand by Koanga and Eco Seeds. Big guys like Kings Seeds, Yates and McGregors have more variety but also imported lines. Choose to suit your needs (heirloom, F1, compact varieties, etc). Next, use suitable seed-raising and potting mixes. Either buy a pre-made mix like Daltons or Tui, or make your own using good compost, coarse sand and broken-down seagrass or peat. Mix ingredients in equal parts in a wheelbarrow. Keep it moist. Ideally, your homemade compost has been hot-composted and turned several times to minimise weeds and diseases. Leaf mould compost is another option, and bark-based composts like Flourish or Greenwaste to Zero are good too. Some people heat small quantities of mix to sterilize it for seedbeds. Now you need a container with drainage holes. Small punnets work well, or pots. Rule of thumb: Cover seeds with mix one to three times the depth/size of the seed, EXCEPT those seeds that need some light to germinate (lettuce, dill, some peppers). Tomatoes. For saved tomatoes you’ve squished onto a piece of tissue, add moisture and put on a plate in the hot water cupboard. Or put the tissue or commercial seeds in a punnet of mix, then cover with finely sieved compost. Firm down with a brick or another punnet/pot. Add water and place a piece of wet newspaper over the top. Cover with clear plastic to keep warmth and moisture in. Put in the hot water cupboard or on a heat mat. Later in spring they will germinate well in a hothouse, cold frame or just on the windowsill. Check daily and mist with water if dry. If they dry out they won’t germinate. Once the first true leaf unfolds, they can be pricked out. This involves loosening the seedling with a small knife, large nail, etc. Carefully pick them up individually and plant (root downwards!) into about 5mm potting mix in a pot to grow them on. To plant, make a hole with your finger and drop the roots down so the leaf growing point is level with the top of the pot. Avoid handling the roots. Hold the leaf and completely fill with mix, then firm it down using four fingers around the seedling and a single good push. Water gently and put in hothouse or warm, light spot. Always handle all seedlings by the leaves, not the stem. A broken leaf can regrow; a stem won’t. If you’re a smoker, it’s very important to wear gloves. Nicotine can harm young seedlings. Tobacco can also transfer a virus to Solanaceous plants. Cucumbers. The same procedure works with cucumbers, but the bigger seeds can be sown directly into pots for growing on before planting. I use more of a potting mix, ie less sand, and also cover them with moist paper and plastic.

Photo: Submitted. A friend, Avner Cain, germinates his cucumbers (and the rest of the Cucurbit family, eg pumpkins) by putting seeds in moist tissue and into a plastic bag in a hot water cupboard. Germinated individual seeds are transferred with care into pots. Note: Overwatering or poor drainage kills young cucumber seedlings. Brassicas. Sow brassica seeds like tomatoes, though they don’t need extra heat. Once a true leaf shows they can be pricked out into punnets, preferably with larger cells than the standard sixer punnets cells. Adding a little blood and bone and seaweed to the potting mix can reduce later problems. During spring and summer, spraying young seedlings with Bt gets them resisting cabbage moth larvae. Stress from lack of water or very low temperatures can cause brassicas to bolt early after planting. Remember to label seedlings, especially if you grow several varieties. Seedling care. Overwatering young seedlings causes fungal rots. Often the surface mix looks dry, but do check with a finger first. If you plan to grow them to maturity in pots (eg tomatoes), repot them before they get rootbound. I recommend adding compound NZ Fertiliser mix and a dash of dolomite to the potting mix, and liquid fertilising with seaweed for added health and strength.

Takaka’s DOC manager, Andrew Lamason, explains that as a nature reserve, the spit has the highest level of conservation protection. “The shape and location of Farewell Spit means that anything dropped at sea in the Bay or coming out of the Takaka and Collingwood rivers can wash up on the shore. It isn’t only the marine operators who need to take responsibility: it’s all of us. Anything that can blow away into a river or stream or is dropped on the beach could well end up on the Spit.” Environ-mentor for marine farming, Darren Clarke, says the spit is included in a general annual cleanup that takes place across the Top of the South. Darren explains that all companies involved in fisheries (for example Talleys, King Salmon and Sanfords) pay a levy that allows the association’s environmental committee to continue its work. “There are WOF checks on all boats and water Golden Bay Surveyors Registered Professional Surveyor - Subdivisions, boundary marking, topographical surveys, building set-out.

Photo: Supplied. vehicles…and we ensure that all barges have rubbish bins on board.” Environmental awareness workshops are part of the industry’s educational efforts. The yearly sweep involves the use of quad bikes and a trailer, though the majority of the work is done on foot, Darren says. This year, a team of five spent evenings in the DOC house on the spit, and during the days gathered 280kg of general rubbish. “We keep a log which documents the percentages of things found, so we can analyse who the main polluters are in order to try and improve our work habits all the time.” Fifty-seven mussel floats were also recovered during the cleanup. There is a retrieval bounty - a reward paid to the collector for returning floats. The environmental team recovers $10 per float from the mussel float owner (whose identification is branded on each float). The float money collected from the clean-up is being donated to GBHS aquaculture academy. Andrew Lamason says the loss of mussel buoys is inevitable in such a harsh environment. “It’s good that these can be reused or recycled but the rubbish that accumulates is largely avoidable. “It’s great that Darren and his team undertakes this work each year and helps us to preserve this area.” Rae McDowell TUMEKE LOGGING WAYNE SOLLY Forest & woodlot harvesting Hauler & ground-based bush-rigged excavator Locally-owned operation with local crew Ph 027 455 9895 Ineke Manshande will be in your area on Wednesdays We supply and install a great selection of: carpets and vinyl • curtains and blinds wood and laminate • ceramic tiles hot wire under carpet and tile heating 6 months before you pay at the cash price Phone 0800 222 773 Free measure and quote The GB Weekly, Friday 9 OCTOBER 2015 or Ineke on 021 416 517 www.carpetcourt.co.nz Mon-Fri: 8.30am-5.30pm Sat 9am-4pm Great specials 7 news in brief Rembrandt Remastered October marks the 10th anniversary of the Nelson Provincial Museum moving from Isel Park to the Nelson CBD. As a gift from the museum to the residents of Nelson and Tasman, an exhibition of 57 life-sized Rembrandt reproductions, that have been digitally remastered, will be on display across the Museum and the Suter Art Gallery until 15 November. “Life etches itself onto our faces as we grow older showing our violence, excesses or kindnesses.” - Rembrandt.

Golden Bay Museum Te Waka Huia o Mohua has just received news that Alan McLean’s whale preparation project has been awarded more than $17,000 from Pub Charity. That will cover all costs of the whale skeleton preparation, right through to display in mid-2016. It’s come on top of news of a Network Tasman grant for Alan’s electricity costs. “It’s just wonderful to know that Alan’s patient commitment has received this recognition,” says museum board chair Penny Griffith. “Now there’s just $60,000 to find for the whalery to house it!”. Poetry Slam @ Live Poets Live Poets this month, at the Mussel Inn on Thursday 15 October, hosts Poetry Slam heats. In a Poetry Slam the audience is an integral part of the show. Their response to the performance of each poet – what they are saying and how they are saying it – gives the judges their cue and affects the score they are given. So we want to get as many out to participate as we can. Christina Gurrola, a talented singer-songwriter from the USA, will be the special guest at the Golden Bay Slam event. She will open the evening at 7.30pm with a short set featuring songs from her recently released debut EP Dawn Medley. Christina is currently turning heads at venues across New Zealand with a voice and style that is being described as “Norah Jones meets Amy Winehouse”. Big boots to fill there, but it sounds like we are in for a treat. Submitted Collingwood campground benefits The sale of a council-owned cottage in Collingwood’s William Street is planned to help pay for much-needed improvements to the Collingwood Motor Camp. A TDC press release says that urgent work to bring the campground’s gas, electrical and water infrastructure up to standard was completed earlier this year. Future improvements planned for the campground include the construction of more cabins, a new toilet and shower block, and the replacement of stormwater, wastewater and water supply pipes. The work is estimated to cost between $400,000 and $500,000. To help offset some of this cost, council has put the cottage up for sale. It is currently used as additional campground accommodation. The building was sold to the Golden Bay County Council in 1940 for £20 to use for the benefit of the community. The cottage itself also needs some work. Rather than putting more money into upgrading this building, it was decided to allow a new owner to give it the love it needs while generating funds for the campground. Arts Festival comes to the Bay Comedian, actor and playwright Arthur Meek made Golden Bay audiences guffaw in Richard Meros Salutes the Southern Man and took Helen Clark as his young lover in a previous Arts Festival. After winning hearts and swinging voters in New York, Arthur Meek’s over-educated under-achieving character Richard Meros BA is heading back to the Bay with On the Conditions and Possibilities of Hillary Clinton taking me as her Young Lover, on at the Village Theatre, Friday 16 October at 8pm. New York Magazine described the show as “demented and hilarious”. Nelson Arts Festival Programmer Charlie Unwin says New Zealand audiences will also find this kiwi academic’s take on the American political system hilarious and thought provoking. Also coming to Golden Bay as part of this year’s Arts Festival is a gathering of exceptionally talented Irish musicians performing traditional music in The Seisiún (session) at The Mussel Inn on Tuesday 20 October at 8.30pm. Fronted by Irish singersongwriter Roesy, one of Ireland’s most respected touring artists, this ensemble will beguile audiences with the ancient Irish art of storytelling, lyric poetry, folk music and even some traditional dance. Charlie says, “Traditionally a Seisiún is Irish music played by Irish musicians in a pub or pub-like setting. There is nowhere more apt in the Bay than the Mussel Inn for this show.” To see the full line-up and book tickets to the Nelson Arts Festival, visit www.nelsonartsfestival.co.nz Ed. Double passes available to both shows. Just email: admin@gbweekly.co.nz with your name and postal address. Project De-Vine in East Takaka A working bee and the start of the East Takaka phase of vine control is on Saturday 17 October (if wet – the Saturday after). We will assemble at 9.30am at the letterbox of Bluey Powell, 877 East Takaka Road on. There are many vines on the slopes above the road. We will work on two properties. The owners are keen to start working on the vines and by giving this area a big hit now, it will save the weed team a lot of time and show the owners in this project what can be done in a few hours. This helps raise our contributions towards the funding. Members of our experienced weed team will show how to effectively cut and paste the vines. Pottles of gel are supplied and available for taking to work on your own property. The last working bee cut 1000 vines. This a chance for the many landowners in this area to meet and work with us. It does not matter how much you know, as you will be teamed up with those that know the pest and native vines. Please brings sturdy shoes, gloves and secateurs, loppers or handsaws, your own water and snack food to share afterwards. The more the better, as there are plenty of vines to share around, anyone over 16 can learn how to cut and paste the vines. Women welcome, we have women in the weed team – it is not just blokes’ work. The working bee is sponsored by Project Janszoon, Nelson Building Society and the suppliers of the Glyphosate pottles: Cut’n’Paste based on Waiheke Island.
