Building in the bay for over 8 years...
Last weekend’s heritage-themed Golden
Bay A&P Show was a huge success.
A&P Association president Duncan
McKenzie said that the gate takings were right
up with previous shows, the overcast weather
encouraged people to stay and he had heard
only positive comments.
The construction of the new shared
recreational facility at the Takaka’s Rec Park
requires the demolition of the old grandstand
and the booth. This means that future A&P
Shows will change. To celebrate the extent
to which the annual show is woven into the
community’s heritage, the 119th show had
a heritage theme. There was period costume
and some older classes of competition were
given the special tag “end of an era”. One
example was in the Home Cooking section
where class 32, entitled “Lady’s Afternoon
Tea”, required a tray with a teapot and cosy,
a teacup, three food items and a flower
arrangement. The food items had to be one
spreadable, one sweet and one savoury. The
GB Weekly’s own Nicola Wells won first and
second prize in this class.
Elsewhere there was a distinct tinge
of heritage – from the collectible cars to
restored tractors and farm machinery, to the
Omotomotomotoco’s display of restored
machinery and the bonnets of some of the
stall-holders.
In the booth and in the specially-erected
heritage tent, the A&P Show committee had
on display blown-up quotes from participants
in the A&P Show from earlier days. This was
an initiative of Noel and Carolyn Baigent and
attracted a lot of positive comment.
One, from show stalwart Keith Page said in
1973: “These old fellows at that first meeting
in 1893 to try and form a dairy company
could not visualise then that they would end
up forming an A&P Association, and that it
would still be going 80 years later. And we
can’t visualise what it will be in another
80 years. Will the young ones let it all go
bung?” These forward-looking thoughts were
recorded in Christine Hunt’s book 1893
Onwards: Reminiscences of Golden Bay A&P
Shows (1980).
On the evidence of last Saturday there
seems little chance that the latest group of
guardians of the A&P’s heritage will “let it
all go bung”.

Sales and Service
Reg Turner is wrong, I believe, to encourage the idea of
delegating freedom camping enforcement to local residents
(GBW 15/1). Far from discouraging vigilantes, I would expect
the ignorant, prejudiced and psychotic to be at the front of
the queue seeking policing powers which they could then
abuse. Policing is best left to the professionals, the best of
whom know how to uphold the spirit rather than the letter
of the law and let fairness and common sense prevail. Their
wages are money well spent for ratepayers.
Considerate freedom campers should not be persecuted;
it is largely they who bring much-needed tourist dollars
into our local economy. Bush poopers, litter bugs, fire bugs
and noise polluters are the real enemies; many of these are
not freedom campers at all. Laws and penalties should be
accurately targetted; the scatter-gun approach will not do.
Positive preventative measures such as installation of toilet,
fire and refuse facilities (like the portaloos recently donated
by our enlightened philanthropists at the Wholemeal Café
and Schnapp Dragon Distillery) are better still. They have
unintentionally put TDC to shame. Reg would do better to
join their ranks.

Milnthorpe appreciation
To Tim, Jane and the volunteers: Thank you for the
wonderful work maintaining and upgrading the Milnthorpe
tracks. It’s great that you are continuing the amazing legacy
started by Dick. We are so lucky to have this beautiful

Auckland on 4 February. There is still time to voice your
opposition to the TPPA by signing the petition at http://www.

Unlike New Zealand, some countries have requested
exemptions from certain parts of this dangerous agreement,

Baron Hasselhoff’s is leaving town
I want to let our fantastic customers and the wider
community know that, with a heavy heart, we are relocating
to Wellington at the beginning of February. Our last day of
trading in our shop will be Saturday 30 January.
Baron’s was born in Takaka and over the last five years
I have been so lucky to have enormous, generous support
from the community; this is something I most definitely don’t
take for granted. It’s been a pleasure for me to realise my
dream and create a business where I can express my love
for food; hopefully you’ve enjoyed watching and tasting the
progress.
Wellington is going to offer us new challenges, a wider
market and opportunities I can’t even imagine. We will always
be a Golden Bay business at heart and will continue to supply
the local outlets here. Come on down to the shop on our last
day and have a glass of bubbles with us.

Demolition at Rec Park
I enjoyed helping at the Golden Bay Pony Club’s eventing
day Sunday 17 January (the day after the A&P Show). The
Show committee always very kindly leave their jumps up for
the younger group to use on their day, and also assist with
the running of the annual event.
I couldn’t help but think how insensitive it was that from
early in the morning the produce booth and SeniorNet
rooms were under attack, being demolished with a lot of
accompanying noise. Not good for the young riders and
their horses I would have thought. I realise the rooms and
the grandstand have to be down by a certain date, but did it
all have to start with such indecent haste?
I know that we have to be prepared for change, even if we
aren’t keen on it, but It was certainly upsetting to some of the
people at the event – many of whom have grown up with
those buildings and the grandstand as part of their lives.

The River Jesters
The River Jesters is a rock n roll quartet and will
showcase a broad range of new original songs at the Roots
Bar on Friday 22 January, 9.30pm, $5 door.
The River Jesters formed in late 2012 when Tom Batchelor
(vocals) met Michael Morris (guitar) busking in Dunedin.
The duo recruited Sam McKean (bass) and Antonio Mercuri
(drums). With a headlining slot at WaikeriFest under the
ir belt, an appearance at AMI Stadium (CHCH) before
a crowd of 18,000 and countless other memorable live
shows across NZ, The River Jesters are fast on the rise.

knowing the detrimental effect it will generate for their people.
One example is the protection of land ownership from foreign
investors. This should be a great concern here in New Zealand
where we have watched home ownership decline radically
over the last decade as the National-led government has
perpetuated the investor advantages forcing huge numbers
into renting. I would guess that most renters would rather be
investing that weekly payment into their own home, instead
of padding out their landlords’ profit portfolio.
I believe we would have a happier population if the
growing disparity between the rich and poor was reversed. If
we sign The TPPA we will watch this sad situation worsen. The
TPPA is a corporate-driven and corporate-favoured binding
document that will have harmful effects on the workforce
and our environment.
Caring New Zealanders have stood up before when global
pressures have attempted to bully us; we can do it again.
Please sign the petition and share it with your friends who
are too busy in the rat race to have time to keep up with the
latest misguided government action. John Key would rather
you talk about a flag.

Everyone is invited to a dawn ceremony to bless and
mark the beginning of construction of the Golden Bay
Community Recreation Facility.
The project will begin with a 4.30am ceremony on
Tuesday 2 February to lay mauri stones on the site. The
stones represent the life blood of the facility and will act
as kaitiaki (guardians) of the facility, offering protection
and carrying the spirit of the community. Mauri stones
will be offered by the Council, Shared Recreation Facility
Committee, Manawhenua ki Mohua, A&P Association
and others.
The new building in Takaka’s Recreation Park will
house a gymnasium with indoor netball court, two squash
courts, toilets and changing rooms, and community and
function rooms.
Anyone wishing to attend the ceremony can RSVP to

JB3 to perform at Roots Bar
On Sunday 24 January Wellington trio JB3 will perform
at Zatori, followed by a show at Roots Bar on Tuesday 26
January. Led by locally-raised saxophonist Jake Baxendale,
the trio is performing in Golden Bay as part of a South Island
tour - a first for the band.
The trio has been performing in Wellington for the last
two years, playing a mix of classic 60s-70s soul jazz and
more contemporary jazz-funk fusion. After Jake’s recent trip
to Sydney, the band is focusing more on original music.
“I saw a lot of original jazz while I was in Sydney, in all
sorts of styles,” says Jake. “It really inspired me to take a
closer look at this era of jazz and try to write for it myself.
I think I’ve come to understand the music a lot better.”
JB3 features two of Baxendale’s most frequent
collaborators; Daniel Hayles, who recently came through
the Bay performing with Holly Smith; and Shaun Anderson,
who performs in Jake’s eight-piece modern jazz group The
Jac. All three are members of brass band The Richter City
Rebels, which is playing at the Mussel Inn the same week,
on Friday 29 January.
JB3 are performing at Zatori, 2321 Takaka-Collingwood
Hwy at 7pm, $10 on the door, and at Roots Bar at 9pm,
no charge.

Plans for freedom camping working
group to improve compliance
Having parked up at
Taupata Point - just a few
kilometres short of Puponga
- B e n j a mi n L e g a r e and
Mathilde Sourgnes are
standing under the raised
tailgate of their old Toyota
Estima while they cook up a
batch of two-minute noodles.
As they wait for the lunch
pot to boil, the young French
couple take in panoramic
views of the Bay and watch
shorebirds roosting on the
intertidal flats. It’s a picture
of peace, freedom and natural
beauty – the sort of iconic
image that that sells New
Zealand to young travellers
the world over.
But local Taupata resident
Zara Lavanchy sees something
rather less appealing on her
daily stroll past the creek and
onto the beach: sheets of used
toilet paper scrunched up and
left lying on the ground.

why she goes to the trouble,
Zara says she can’t help herself. “It’s my instinct to clear up
– imagine what this place would look like if I didn’t.”
The beauty spot has become so routinely soiled that it’s
now a no-go area for her young family. “My kids won’t play
here any more – they don’t like it.”
Zara says she tries to educate campers and encourage them
to take all their waste away when they leave. “Most respond
well, but some are angry – especially some of the young ones.
They have a real attitude.”
The “antisocial” behaviour of some freedom campers has
caused some locals to become increasingly angry. Campsite
managers are also frustrated by travellers who park outside the
campground then try to sneak in to use facilities. In Takaka,
library users are often dismayed to see long queues outside the
toilet as well as the travellers connecting their Mac Books and
iPads to the free Wi-Fi. It’s leaving the reputation of freedom
campers somewhat tarnished.
Benjamin and Mathilde have much in common with the
stereotypical freedom camper. They are long-term visitors:
“We arrived on the 4th of December and we’re staying one
year.” They have bought their campervan for the duration
of their stay and hope to travel around the whole of New
Zealand while sticking to a tight budget.

Museum’s whalery fundraising is almost there
The planned extension to Golden Bay
Museum Te Waka Huia o Mohua to tell the
story of our local marine environment is
almost within grasp. All that’s needed is a
final $20,000 to make it happen.
Museum Board chairperson Penny Griffith
is confident the project will be able go
ahead over winter. “We were absolutely
thrilled to learn just before Christmas that
our Lottery Grants application for $40,000
was successful - it’s been a huge boost.” The
museum has now raised $97,000 from a
variety of grants and other sources towards
the whalery and preparation of the whale
skeleton that will be the focal point of the
displays. Penny adds, “It’s such an exciting
addition to our ability to tell the Golden Bay/
Mohua story, and I’m sure it will become a
regional draw-card for visitors. Let’s get the
Whale into the Whalery.”
Donations over $5 are eligible for tax
credits and all donations of $1,000 or more
will be recorded on a permanent donors’
board inside the whalery. Details of how to
donate (including on Give-a-Little) are on the
museum website: www.goldenbaymuseum.

To kick off the race for the finishing line,
Jenny Cooper and Penny are organising a
fundraising screening of two Golden Bay
whale stranding documentaries: Stranded!
(1997) and Once Upon a Pod of Whales
(2012). This will be at the Village Theatre on
Sunday 7 February at 2pm, and will include
refreshments.

Cleared “persons of interest” shocked by police revelation
1080 timeline: Key dates and events in the Police investigation. Graphic: Jo Richards.
Earlier this month, Rolf and Ute Kleine discovered that in January 2015, while they were out,
Auckland-based Police had conducted a covert search of their Pohara home. Photo: Jo Richards.
The owners of the Takaka Infusion vegetarian tea rooms are
reeling from the latest revelations to trickle out of Operation
Concord – the national Police investigation into the 1080in-infant-formula blackmail threat.
Earlier this month, Rolf and Ute Kleine discovered that in
January 2015, while they were out, Auckland-based police
conducted a covert search of their Pohara home.
“It came as a complete shock,” says Rolf.
The hitherto secret search took place two months before
a squad of eight police officers from Operation Concord
interrupted Rolf and Ute while they were having breakfast.
The officers searched the Kleine’s home and business
premises and obtained DNA swabs and fingerprints from the
owners, who were then taken to separate police stations for
lengthy questioning. The incident, which took place on 25
March and was widely reported at the time, left the couple
feeling violated and not a little angry.
It is thought that police suspicion was initially aroused by a
series of letters that Rolf sent to Fonterra in 2012, expressing
his concern that 1080 pellets from aerial application could
contaminate local milk supplies. This correspondence was
apparently sufficient for police to classify its author, along
with his wife, as “significant persons of interest”.
It was clear from the hyperbole used by the Ministry for
Primary Industries, when they went public about the blackmail
threat in early March, that Fonterra and the Government were
distinctly rattled. The so-called “eco-terrorism” case came hot
on the heels of Fonterra’s 2013 botulism scare and had the
potential to severely damage NZ’s biggest export industry.
It explains why NZ Police employed a team of 35 full-time
staff and spent an estimated $3 million on the investigation.
After devoting around 30,000 staff hours to the case, it was
eventually solved in October last year following the arrest of a
suspect who has since pleaded guilty. Although this outcome
completely exonerates the Kleines, their lingering concern
over police tactics means the couple has not yet achieved a
sense of closure.
Rolf and Ute had started to put their police visit and
interrogation behind them. But their recovery was knocked for
six when they received a 6 January email from investigating
officer Detective Senior Sergeant Aaron Pascoe that provided
details of the earlier search: “...Police executed an additional
search warrant at your address on 28 January 2015 when you
were not present.”
“We had to read it three times,” says Ute. “We felt sick –
we couldn’t believe it…It’s all come up again – even worse
than it was.”

The GB Weekly, Friday 22 january 2016
Such clandestine searches are entirely legal under the
Search and Surveillance Act 2012, as the officer in charge
of Operation Concord, Detective Superintendent Andy
Lovelock, explained in a written response to the The GB
Weekly’s enquiry.
“In some circumstances, such as where an overt search
would prejudice an ongoing investigation or endanger
the safety of any person, search warrants are executed
covertly.”
The granting of a warrant relies on the police convincing
a judge that there are reasonable grounds for the request, but
Rolf is not convinced that the procedure was robust.
“What are reasonable grounds? If we knew, then it would
make it easier for us.”
His scepticism is shared by others: An internet search
brings up a raft of material that questions NZ Police conduct
in other high-profile investigations, and alleges frequent
provision of false or misleading information in order to obtain
warrants – most notably in the case of the infamous 2007
Uruwera “terror” raids.
On studying the warrant documents attached to DSS
Pascoe’s email message, the Kleines discovered that the
police had also removed samples for DNA analysis from
hairbrushes and dental floss as well as lifting fingerprints
and cloning computer equipment during the search. “This
is really scary, very intimidating,” says Rolf.
Ute says that the sense of security they treasured in their
Pohara home has been shattered. “Our home used to be a
safe environment – it’s really important to us.
“Last weekend I woke up in the middle of the night and
was scared again – and when I go into the bathroom I wonder
who’s been in there.”
The couple has now put a revised interpretation on a series
of seemingly insignificant and unconnected past incidents –a
mysterious malfunctioning phone line and an unexpected
immigration check at Auckland airport. “We were on our
way to Australia and we got called back at passport control
for no reason. I think they were monitoring our movements,”
says Rolf.
Towards the end of his email message, DSS Pascoe thanks
the couple for their “assistance and co-operation” and offers
something of an apology for the invasion of their privacy:
“Police acknowledge that there is an implicit interference
with privacy associated with searches of this type and we
apologise for any stress this may have caused.”
Rolf remains unimpressed by this approach and believes
the second, overt raid and subsequent interrogation was
designed to inflict maximum stress. “It was to intimidate us
and all the anti-1080 people in the Bay.”
DSS Pascoe has offered the Kleines a face-to-face meeting,
albeit at the local police station, and with a police lawyer in
attendance. However, Ute is reluctant to enter the premises.
“I’m really angry – I don’t want to meet with them.”
Any future dealings with officers from Operation Concord
will be conducted on a more arms-length basis, says Rolf.
“We’ve handed it over to our lawyer. We don’t trust them
anymore. We want to take it to court now.”
He explains that their lawyer will seek two main forms of
redress. “The most important thing is for the police to make a
public apology, but we will also be looking for some financial
compensation.”
Ute is clear about her reasons for bringing DSS Pascoe and
his colleagues to account. “They shouldn’t get away with it
and it shouldn’t happen to other people. I never expected
this sort of thing could happen in New Zealand.”
