Mid winter magic!Locals descended upon Kaiteriteri Beach last Sunday for Riwaka School’s Annual Mid Winter Festival. The ducks raced, the brave swam, funds were raised, and fun was had! School Principal Fraser Campbell said credit was due the huge amount of effort and generosity from the fantastic community. Numbers may have been down from last year, but the money was on par with close to eight and a half thousand dollars raised for the school. “We’ll carry on doing it for years to come,” he said. Pictured are the winners of the best dressed family prize, Sarah Bain with 7 month old Raelynn.

BETTINA FAUTLEY Next time you see

a festively-decorated three wheeled trike zooming around town, say hello to its rider, Dawn Jones. And if the bike is parked and riderless at Ledger Goodman Park, she’ll be the one tending the food forest established there a year ago.

Dawn and her late husband Emery emi-grated from America in 1958 with the idea

of creating an “inten-tional community” on the land. She explains, “We wanted to estab-lish a community of people who wanted to live and share togeth-er more closely than modern conventional society offers. This is not to be confused with a bunch of hippies sharing free love and drugs!” The aim was to create a space for those disillusioned with modern consumerism

and offer alternative living as a source of hope.

This happened in ways that Dawn and her husband could never have imagined, and en route they gar-nered a raft of expe-rience, many friends, and six children, two of whom are adopted.

Her passion for earth care meant that when the call went out to the Motueka community to help build a food forest

at Ledger Goodman Park last year, Dawn was immediately on board.

As she says, “Here was an opportunity to help build a local food supply that was a par-tial option to many peo-ple’s concerns about overly processed food transported great dis-tances and at great expense.”

One of the principles that underpins food for-ests is to produce an

abundance of foods in a sustainable manner, fed by the energy of the sun, the life-giving rain, on a foundation of a healthy, balanced soil.

A food forest tradi-tionally includes nitro-gen fixing plants, fruit and nut trees, shrubs and berries, flowers for beneficial insects, medicinal and culinary herbs, perennial veg-etables, edible fungi, and complimentary

non-edible but useful fibre plants.

“This is a way to build diversity, resilience and security back into our food system,” empha-sises Dawn.

The food forest at Ledger Goodman Park was the initiative of permaculturist Petra Stephenson and cre-ated in winter last year.

Then, a group of nearly 50 volunteers brought along enthu-siasm, spades, rakes and hoes to create Motueka’s first food forest. At the end of one intensely physical day, the food forest had been born.

Now, on the anniver-sary of its first birthday, the foods that have been grown and har-vested include white strawberries, peaches, raspberries, rhubarb, kumi kumi, parsley, lavender, artichokes, currants, Chilean gua-vas and chamomile.

The autumn leaf fall from the long-estab-lished trees in Ledger Goodman Park has been spread over the beds as mulch. Tagasaste – tree lucerne – has been introduced which, says Dawn, the kereru and

tuis absolutely love. “It’s also an excellent food for the bees in winter.”

Her botanical knowledge is impres-sive and, while Dawn doesn’t have any spe-cific degrees in hor-ticulture, she’s had more than 60 years of hands-on experience with organic farming and growing.

“It’s about creat-ing a system that will help sustain us in the present, and also for future generations. When food shortages occur, this localised food production will help Motueka in terms of self-sufficiency.”

Ongoing mainte-nance of the food for-est is critical. All vol-untary help is appre-ciated, so come on down to the Ledger Goodman Park in Ledger Street.

“Each one teaches one,” says Dawn. “You may be surprised at who you meet and what you learn as you impart your knowledge to others.”

SAFIA ARCHER Riwaka’s Tom

Dalziel of Thomas Bros has beaten off tough competition from four other entrants to be crowned Nelson’s Young Fruit Grower for 2016 at last Friday night’s gala dinner.

The day-long com-petition at Hoddy’s Orchard in Nelson on Friday saw competi-tors battle it out in a series of practical and theoretical challenges designed to test the skills needed to run a successful export-focused orchard.

The twenty-seven year-old works as an Orchard Supervisor at Thomas Bros.

As well as taking out the title of the region’s Young Fruit Grower, Tom received top marks for the First Aid, Human Resources, Orchard Analysis activities as well as winning the Speech Section.

Tom’s won a cash prize of $1,500 and an all-expenses paid trip to represent Nelson at the national Young Grower of the Year in three weeks’ time.

“It was a tough battle against some of the region’s most capable young growers,” said Tom.

“I’m looking forward to competing at the national final and will be stepping up my preparation over the next few weeks.”

Second place went to Ralph Bastian from Wai West Horticulture, and Rowan Inwood from Hoddys Orchard was awarded third place.

Competition coor-dinator and local orchardist Andrew Kininmonth said the Young Fruit Grower competition showcas-es and celebrates our industry’s top young talent each year.

“We’re very fortunate to have such loyal and passionate sponsors who support the event and assist in the devel-opment of our indus-try’s future leaders by testing the contestants’ knowledge and skills.

“Tom and his fellow competitors are great examples of the young people who are enter-ing horticulture.

“The future growth of our industry is depend-ent on our ability to attract young growers like Tom who are high-ly skilled and enthusi-astic.

Mike Chapman, Chief Executive of Horticulture New Zealand, which runs the national competi-tion said they wish Tom all the best as he prepares to compete in the national competi-tion in a few weeks’ time.

The Young Grower of the Year is an annu-al competition run by Horticulture New Zealand to select the

finest young fruit or vegetable grower in the country.

The winners from five regional events go forward to contest the national final.

The competition is part of Horticulture New Zealand’s strat-egy to support the growth and develop-ment of New Zealand’s future grower leaders.

Operation Cover Up wraps!

Keen knitters from all over New Zealand were again called upon to take up their needles and hooks for ‘Operation Cover Up’. Some years ago, a visit by a missionary group, Child Rescue International, revealed that children living in Moldovan orphanages had very little bedding in tempera-tures as low as -25 degrees Celsius. Child Rescue International is part of Mission Without Borders and has expanded its activities over the years to orphanages in other countries, too. The call for assistance was well-received in New Zealand and today there are hun-dreds of co-ordinators, knitters and crocheters proving that we’re a nation of crafty women (and a few men) who are

Cover Up, 74 blankets were knitted and crocheted and 14 quilts were made and donated, including jerseys, slippers, hats, mittens, gloves and scarves. The local group, Crafty Tarts, were particularly active in Operation Cover Up.

SAFIA ARCHER Stefan Laing remembers his father Duncan

Laing’s life achievements as an Olympic swim-ming coach to New Zealand’s Danyon Loader and his journey to get there with the launch of his new book Gold x2: The Duncan Laing Story.

“The book is the life story of my father who was a swimming coach in Dunedin,” Stefan said.

Stefan said he went to look after Duncan when he was suffering from Melanoma Cancer back in 2008. “I said I wouldn’t mind writing a life story about him.”

Duncan was dubious at first, but then he real-ised that he did have a story to tell, and so Stefan decided to gather as much as he could while his father was alive he said.

“We sat and we talked, and we found all these old photos and the reason why he got into swim-ming with his father.

“I thought there was a story to be told about this basic man who learned ... the most you can about swimming. He taught himself from ... to be an expert in his field, in the world.

Duncan grew up in Waitara, just north of New Plymouth, and was a very good distance swim-mer himself.

He then joined surf lifesaving in his late teens to early twenties Stefan said, and really excelled at that as he loved being in the sea.

“Once he got into that he realised he could make something of himself and he made the New Zealand team.”

He was very friendly sort of fellow Stefan said, and his knowledge of swimming and surf saving led him realise that Kiwis could keep up with the best of them.

“He was pretty young when he start coaching, he was 25 years old. He learned so much about not only what to do but also what not to do. He realised it’s a matter of learning technique. Once he got going with his training methods, kids really excelled quickly.

A carpenter by trade, Duncan did coaching on the side but there was no money in that.

“He had to work for a living and coach, and that’s really hard. So he looked for a job and eventually found one going in Dunedin.

At that time Moana Pool was the flash new indoor pool in New Zealand Stefan said, where Duncan became a professional coach.

“Not only was he coaching Olympic swimmers, he was teaching little two year olds.”

Duncan soon realised if he was going to get swimmers to the Olympic finals, technique was key.

“It took him another 20 years to find his Danyon. The story about Danyon is very simple really, [he] was a real hardcase and his father used to take him to the pool, he was a total natural in the pool. He swam most of the time under water, he was like a fish Danyon was. Dunc’ looked at him and he said ‘I think he’s good enough to be in my swimming squad, I could make a champion out of him’. Basically Duncan took Danyon from little old South Dunedin to the world, and made his name for himself.”

Duncan proved to everybody over that 40 years that he could do it, and he did, Stefan said.

“The story is really an inspirational story of a man with determination and stickability ... it’s a story of perseverance.”

Pictured left: Stefan Laing with his soon to released book about his dad ( Image credit: Courtesy of Silver Fern Press). To learn more about one of New Zealand’s coaching legends, go along to Motueka RSA this Sunday to meet Stefan at 2pm for the book launch with special guest, Olympic gold medal-ist Danyon Loader.

Motueka High School music students have ended the sea-son on a high note, taking home multiple awards at regional competitions.

Year 13 alto Emily Garland of Suono Bellissimo was pleased to be part of the Suono Bellissimo suc-cess, where they won Highly Commended which only 3 out of 13 choirs received, and 2nd place in the NZ Composition Category.

“It was a good year for us … it was a nice high note for us to fin-ish on,” Emily said.

MHS HoD of Music Hilary Sinclair said they did very well at the top of the south leg of the Big Sing this year, held June 22 in Blenheim’s new theatre.

Both the Jazz Combo and Jazz Band did well at the Nelson Youth Jazz festival where they received runner-up for their efforts.

Max McAlpine took home the Tom Rainey Cup for best bass and Billy won the Nelson Jazz Festival Cup for best individual player.

Billy was also award-

ed highly commended for drums, along with band mates Kase for brass and Johan for saxaphone.

Next up for the music students will be work-ing on is prize-giving and other perform-ances Hilary said, but they won’t be perform-ing competitively until next year.

Hilary decided to take the 45 strong mixed all comers choir Motueka Singers too, and while they did not compete, they per-formed at the Big Sing.

“I took them because I wanted to inspire them of what’s possi-ble, provide a learning opportunity.

“I’m hoping the boys will be inspired too … Boys’ voices develop later, they are tenors and basses.

By the time post competition perform-ance rolled around, the choir was much more relaxed and performed to a higher standard Hilary said.

“It’s just logistics ... it’s a new theatre, a venue they didn’t know … and very hectic.

“A really fun part is also singing on the bus

Musical musingson the way home … It builds team when they have a shared experi-ence.”

Hilary will take at least five students to the finale of the Big Sing she said, and it would be good to showcase tenors in action to some of the male students to remove any reserva-tions they may have about joining a choir.

“I’d like to take some boys … they add a dif-ferent sound.”

It’s been a really busy 2nd term Hilary said, and they will have a concert at the end of next term for the wider community.

“The community can be proud of them, they did very well.

“They’ve demon-strated that they can put in the extra effort.”

Flute trio added to the haul with Esmae Leenhouwers, Maddie Bridge, and Stella Stevens taking home the Adjuducators Awards at their NZ Chamber Music Contest.

Hilary said it is always fantastic to see music students walk across the stage at the

end of year prize giv-ing.

“Music does only good things for the brain.”

Next term Hilary is looking at starting a junior music school to develop young tal-ent. It will be available

for 8 to 12 year olds after school weekly, and will include both theory and practice. For more information please email [email protected] above: Billy Bathgate and Max McAlpine.

A love of music bonded one generation to another at Greenwood Kindergarten last week, when Woodlands residents visited the young-sters.

Head teacher Sandie Burn said Greenwood have been taking the children to Woodlands Resthome once a term, and they just love it.

“Sharing ages and stages, the young and the old … they learn so much from each other.”

Suzette Bonar, Diversional Therapist at Woodlands, said the residents come alive when the children are around, and that the laughter they share is just contagious.

“It gives them purpose and meaning … they haven’t stopped grinning since they arrived,” she said.

Woodlands is in the process of building a playground to encourage visits from the youngsters and families to benefit both the youths and the elderly.

Jenny (pictured far left) donated twenty dollars to the kindergarten at the begin-ning of the visit to help towards kindy costs.

“I think they do a wonderful job … this is where it all starts,” Jenny said.

Sharing ages & stages

Jenny, Jennifer, Jessie and Trixie from Woodlands Resthome played musical games with Greenwood Kindy youngsters last Friday morning as part of a quarterly initiative run by the two organisations.

Potiki class of Parklands School spotted traipsing down Wallace Street on Thursday to deliver a fruit basket and thank you cards to their mates at Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten as koha for the seven goldfish the Kindy youngsters had given then to represent the seven stars of Matariki.

On the 16th June, Tapawera Area School celebrated Matariki - the Maori New Year. Matariki is traditionally celebrated by gather-ing with whanau (fam-ily) and reflecting on the past. A lot of cel-ebrations focus around music, song, dance, food and family, and that is what Tapawera Area School did.

Locals, Raewyn and Darryl Cruttenden came in and arranged a hangi. A team of local people supported them. Families donat-ed the meat sourced locally including wild pork, venison through to sides of lamb or beef along with vegetables.

Upon arrival fami-lies joined in a range

Tapawera Area School celebrates Matariki

of activities from planting trees, rakau games, flax weav-ing, to playing games. The school wanted to plant trees to signal new beginnings. Over 200 hundred trees had been donated from the TDC and some 20 fruit trees were donated from local nurseries. Families took the time before night fell, to go to the Nature Corner area of the school to plant a tree.

The lifting of the hangi was much antici-pated. Students had watched the hangi being put down at mid-day and continued to watch it being covered up if any steam was found to be escaping during the afternoon.

In the evening families brought their own ‘pic-nic basket’ with plates, cutlery, cups and their own drinks for their family.

Morena! Behind you all the wayEvery year since 1975 New Zealand has marked Maori

Language Week. This is a time for all New Zealanders to celebrate te reo Maori (the Maori language) and to use more Maori phrases in everyday life. Maori Language Week is happening right now and runs until 10 July.

The theme is akina te reo – behind you all the way, which is about using te reo Maori to support people, to

Te Awhina Marae in Motueka was officially opened in 1958. Three of the elders of this community are, from left, Hera Burrows (a founder member), Puanani Kelly and Ngawhakara. Says Hera, “We grew up in Waikato only speaking te reo and then were forbidden to speak it at school. We got the strap if we did!” Puanani continues, “For us, Maori is more than a language: it’s a daily way of life. It’s both spiritual and physical.” “It’s ridiculous that we are encouraging the nation to speak Maori for a week. One week? Political non-sense! For us, it’s a lifestyle,” affirms Ngawhakara, the kaikaranga at Te Awhina. “We enrich each other – and are enriched – through community. We don’t forget who we are.”

inspire and to cheer on.Te reo Maori is undergoing a resurgence: there are

Maori-language schools, Maori radio stations and a Maori television channel. There was a time when some people objected to hearing Maori greetings such as ‘kia ora’. The campaign to revive the language has been a long - and successful - one.

The future of te reo Maori was the subject of a claim before the Waitangi Tribunal in 1985. The tribunal’s recommendations were far-reaching. Maori became an

official language of New Zealand in 1987. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori was established in the same year to pro-mote te reo. Along with the Human Rights Commission and Te Puni Kokiri, it plays a key role in the annual Maori Language Week.

A BRIGHT, FRESH NEW LOOKShe’s a familiar face. You might remember when she

had a flower cart at the Sunday market 15 years ago, selling the lisianthus and sunflowers she grew in Riwaka together with organic avocados and macadamias. Yes? Or maybe you just know Kay Goodall as the friendly per-son behind the successful gift shop, Floral Affaire.

When her shop on High Street was recently closed for a fortnight due to severe water damage after a particu-larly heavy downpour one Friday night at the end of May, locals popped in continually to express their concern and

extend good wishes for a happy – and dry – outcome. “The internal guttering just couldn’t handle the amount

of water that hit the roof, so the ceiling tiles soaked up the water like sponges and collapsed onto the floor,” explains Kay. This damaged a large amount of stock, as well as the floor.”

It was a shock to arrive at the ravaged shop on the Saturday morning.

The first – and major – undertaking was to get rid of all the water. When that was done, repainting and redeco-

rating was required to give the shop a bright, fresh and new look.

“I’m so grateful to friends, staff and other retailers who got stuck in and cleared out the debris and damaged stock,” says Kay. Another local retailer kindly stored her undamaged stock until the revamp had been completed and the shop was ready to be restocked.

Bearing the brunt of the water damage were the meri-no possum items, greeting cards, handbags, soaps and

creams. “The fudge survived,” smiles Kay. She added homemade fudge to her repertoire a couple of years ago and this has proved very popular.

Kay’s business centres around a florist service plus high-end gifts that include jewellery, handbags, wallets, gloves, scarves, hats, ponchos, a range of candles and diffusers, handmade soaps, homewares, cushions, over-night bags and more.

Floral Affaire has a new look but it still boasts all the familiar goodies that has made it such a popular go-to option over the past 11 years for excellent gifts, flowers and baby goodies.

Spot the dot saleStarting on Thursday, 7 July, there will be 30% off selected items at Floral Affaire. Kay says that you’ll have to look for the dots to identify sale items. “It will be a fun spot-the-dot sale.”

that you won’t find elsewhere. There’s an emphasis on New Zealand made items, soft toys, cuddlies and swad-dles, and brands such as Mokopuna, Lamington, Bobux and Aden & Anais feature prominently.

After 11 years under Kay’s guidance, Floral Affaire is now for sale. So the happy outcome of this rather unhappy event is that, when sold, the new owners will be taking over a fresh, bright, clean, sparkly new shop with revamped fittings and a whole new look.

FLORAL FOCUSThe staff at Floral Affaire – Kay Goodall, Nicola Allan

and Sue Holmes – are all experienced florists. When Kay initially started her business, the focus was on sell-ing flowers, and then she diversified and added gifts, baby gear and homewares, too.

Orders for flowers can be placed by phone or online. There are stunning ready-made bouquets for sale so that you’ll never be caught out. Or maybe you’d prefer a gourmet food basket as an alternative to a floral trib-ute? These are made to order and gift baskets for the families of new babies are also becoming increasingly popular. Floral Affaire is part of the Teleflora network so orders from anywhere in the world can be placed and executed locally.

A customer and her daughter peruse the shelves.

Josiah Smits is the mastermind and chef behind High Street’s newest epicurean experience.

The Smoking Barrel has added to the culinary buzz at the far end of High Street and is a mix of all kinds of food. Judging by the menu, this could be fine dining. Or maybe Mexican? “It’s neither, smiles Josiah. “It’s fun casual din-ing, with a Mexican-inspired menu plus that all-important Kiwi influence.”

Josiah is the Kiwi influence.

His background includes doing his apprenticeship at Paratiho Lodge, working at a bakery in Nelson, and doing a stint in New York – all expenses paid – for a couple who employed him as their private chef, working in their home for six weeks preparing food for dinner parties.

For the past few years, Josiah has worked as a chef in some of the top luxury lodges in the Nelson Tasman area.

He admits that he loves cooking and loves fresh, char-grilled food. “Specifically, I love cooking food that I love to

INSPIRED, ECLECTIC, QUIRKY AND DELICIOUS

Born and bred in Motueka, Josiah was once regularly seen on the rugby field. Today, he and his wife Rachel are kept busy making The Smoking Barrel a culinary success and raising their children, Vienna-Rose (4) and Roman (1½).

eat. You can’t really go wrong then, can you?”At The Smoking Barrel, the emphasis is on fresh –

from the freshly made sauces to the fresh breads and bagels baked every morning. And there’s no cheating when making the bagels – these are made in the tradi-tional way: boiled and baked.

Smoking food is Josiah’s newest interest in terms of adding an extra element of flavour. He and his staff do the cold smoking on the premises in a barrel made from an American oak red wine barrel. “It just flavours the food without cooking it,” explains Josiah.

Manuka wood chips are used to smoke fresh salmon, pork spare ribs, bacon, chorizo sausages, mushrooms and jalapeno peppers.

The small kitchen has been revamped to maximise the use of space. “I like being able to interact with my customers,” emphasises Josiah, pointing out the large window that has been knocked into the wall that previ-ously separated the kitchen from the dining area. The bathrooms also received a makeover. In fact, everything has.

And the person behind the stunning new décor? This

A complete revamp has catapulted The Smoking Barrel in High Street into position as one of Motueka’s top restaurants. Because it offers (limited) evening dining, this adds to Motueka’s handful of restaurants that are open on chilly winter nights when most people don’t venture too far from their slippers and telly.

is the brainchild of Rachel, business manager at The Smoking Barrel and Josiah’s wife.

“There isn’t a wall or nook or cranny that hasn’t been revamped thanks to Rachel,” says Josiah proudly. The wallpaper, artworks, fittings and finishings are an eclectic mix of Aztec, rustic and vintage.

The vintage theme is immediately established as you walk in from the street, where the front of a vintage Austin truck has been employed to house the coffee machine and from where a variety of espressos are produced. Lichen laces the rubber surrounds of the Austin’s wind-screen, adding a quirky touch.

There’s a diverse range of seating options, from the regular booth seating in the main area to a verdant out-door area and a lounge zone with original artworks by a local artist, Natalie Walker, adorning the walls.

And what of the origins of the name of this new restau-rant? “That took a long time to work out and as I’d devel-oped an interest in curing and smoking meats, I wanted a name that was sympathetic. Our smoking barrel is right here on the premises, so suddenly we realised that we had the perfect name.”

In addition to a mouth-watering menu, The Smoking Barrel is licenced, offers free wireless access, a selection of tequilas, boutique beers, teas and coffees.

Open from 09:00 to 16:00 from Tuesday to Sunday, The Smoking Barrel is also open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday after 17:00 for dinner.

Hours will be extended for the summer period.

Customers enjoy the convivial atmosphere of night-time dining at The Smoking Barrel on High Street.

Martin Searle began Parker Car Rentals five years ago, and says that this business has done better than he thought it would.

Which is not really surprising when one looks at his competitive pricing on rental cars. Not only are his cars reasonably priced, but if you hire for longer periods Martin is always prepared to do deals.

Winter time is his favourite time to offer special deals. He has loads of repeat business these days and counts among this number several people from the UK and Canada. Martin has one particular cus-tomer who flies out from Sweden every year and hires a car for three months.

The low excess on insurance for drivers over the age of 25 is also appealing. Martin charges $300 and for those under 25 it’s $600. Perfect for families travelling around the South Island are the 8-seater mini-vans for hire, but Martin emphasises that he caters for the whole spectrum, from small to big cars.

Could there be a more perfect time for getting your property sorted out than winter?

Motueka Hire is your first stop if you’re determined to make your garden ship-shape and need to trim trees, lop off misshapen limbs, and cull dead trees. There is also a substantial chipper for hire, chainsaw equipment, scrub cutters and rotary hoes.

A number of fertiliser spreaders for your home or farm are also available to hire.

This is a good time to lubricate all your hard-working machinery. Motueka Hire stocks the Morris Oil and and lubricants range.

Business hours are 07:30 to 17:00 on weekdays, and 08:00 to 16:00 on Saturdays.

Looking for secure storage space that’s conven-iently located, too? Motueka Storage on High Street is the answer.

Need to make more room or moving house? Motueka Storage has a range of solutions with small

and large sheds to hire, 24 hour access, and excellent rates.

It’s always fun to have a clear out, even if it’s winter and not the traditional time of early spring that most people observe. But perhaps you’re a bit nervous about getting rid of your stuff permanently and merely need to store it somewhere?

Call Motueka Storage and then - with complete peace of mind - pack away all your unnecessary household goods, furniture and documents.

Get things sorted and ship-shape

Space to spareStop! Don’t buy it - renting is both cheap and convenientWhy buy when you can borrow? Not everyone needs to own the same things and it makes fiscal sense to rent or collectively own something, especially if it’s something significant. Like a Porsche, for instance. Only kidding! But seriously, there are companies that rent out big-dollar items such as luxury cars, although here in Motueka during the winter months we’re more concerned with hiring gardening gear, toys, movies or storage space. Or maybe a car in order to take a winter break and travel around this glorious country. All sorts of items are available. And there are quite a few businesses around town who are in the hiring busines. A recent story in TIME magazine was most enlightening: it seems that the renting / lending / borrowing business has become a growth-industry. Apparently you can even borrow a dog (in this case, borrow means renting by the hour) if you can’t afford to own one, don’t have room for one, lack the commitment to own one or want to take a particular breed for a test drive as part of the doggy decision-making process. The story goes on to complain about adult children who are often big on borrowing stuff from their parents. And from time to time they fail to mention having borrowed something. Before you report the item missing, or rush off and buy a replacement, consider hiring it.

NOW OPEN!Change how you feel and functionThe body has an amazing capacity to heal, change, adapt and respond. And since you only have one this lifetime, why not pay attention and take care of it?

To help facilitate an environment that’s conducive to enhanced health and wellbeing, Tim Ford and Roisin Durcan have set up a full-time Chiropractic Clinic in Motueka. It opened this week at Motropolis in Wallace Street.

Chiropractic is a popular form of healthcare encom-passing the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system, and as a means for general wellbeing and preventative care.

But they offer an even more holistic approach to tradi-tional chiropractic, adding movement therapy, meditation and yoga.

Roisin’s passion for movement was encouraged by her yoga teacher mother. This has had a significant influence on her chiropractic career and she’s keen to help people integrate movement into their lifestyles and cultivate an awareness and connectivity about how we live.

She trained in Auckland and then did locums through-out New Zealand and, ultimately, signed up for a project in Botswana, Southern Africa, where she met Tim.

Tim trained in Durban, South Africa, and went on to run clinics for a non-governmental organisation - World Motueka’s first full-time chiropractors, Roisin Durcan and Tim Ford, with their baby Gabriel.

LettersThank you!

Following the announcement of HISTRIONICS as the Supreme Winners at Trustpower Nelson Tasman Community Awards we would like to acknowledge all those who came together to create The Somme Experience at Motueka Museum this year. To all you who inspired us, informed us, fed us, and supported us in so many ways THANKYOU for sharing the jour-ney. To all our sponsors, we absolutely couldn’t have done it without you - THANKYOU to Lotteries and to our Motuekal sponsors Motueka Community Board, New World, Countdown and Mitre10. THANKYOU to our awesome technical team including Greg Olsen of Sir Greg Theatrics Mapua. THANKYOU to everyone at Motueka Museum, The Board, volunteers and staff, and to Pauline Westall who despite retiring as Curator of the Museum still came in to be our production Mum and do the washing-up!

Thank you to all those school and members of the public who came to visit us, and helping to keep the stories of our local ANZAC History alive, Lest We Forget those who went before us whose experiences still shape our lives today.

We look forward to representing our region at the National Trustpower Community Awards next year.Sarah JonesHistrionics Team

Thank you Motueka!From the members of the Motueka Lions Club. Without a doubt the most heart-warming project I have

been involved in as a Lion. Giving away Granny Smith Apples outside the Museum

on a recent Friday and Saturday brought out the best in people. From the elderly lady in the mobility scooter who insisted on donating more than she should, to the Rastafarian who donated a coin but couldn't take any apples 'cause he had no teeth!

Thank you. You are inspiring. We wanted to give away two bins of apples for no other

reason than to give them away.As an aside we had a small donation bucket if anyone

wanted to gift a gold coin to help buy a new saddle for Loui a new arrival horse at The Riding For The Disabled. As it turned out, we not only gave away all the apples, we were stunned to count the one and two dollar coins to the tune of $409. Looks like Loui is on the way to getting himself a new saddle after all.Well done Motueka, we love you.Mike Brown, PresidentMotueka Lions Club

Thank you! On Sunday we went on a cruise circumnavigating

D’Urville Island on the Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle. It was a splendid day out with stunning views, gentle

weather and our enjoyment was enhanced by the inform-ative and often amusing commentary. Dolphins joined us on a couple of occasions.

We landed for one and a half hours at Catherine Cove to stretch our legs on a walk to the waterfall.

We were able to have our picnic lunch in the cove or visit the cafe, which had opened specially for us. The transition from sea/ocean/sea was exciting at Stephen’s Pass and French Pass, the latter was particularly adven-turous. This was a fund-raising event, organised by Motueka Rotary.

The 100 passengers paid $100 each and the whole amount was divided equally between 4 local charities. The family owned company gave the services of the boat and the 5 crew members free.

The fuel was provided by Talleys Fisheries and the I-Site Motueka looked after all the administration. Thank you to all these generous people for your magnificent contribution to those less fortunate than ourselves.

Four of these trips have been organised this winter. A hint was dropped that it might be repeated next year.

If so, make sure you buy your ticket immediately on seeing the notice as it will surely be sold out almost immediately. Patricia MacartneyMotueka

31 Wallace St • 03 528 8709Spine Care. The organisation’s focus is on integrative, evidence-based spine care. “In poorer areas you see a lot of very sick people with long-term chronic problems. They haven’t had access to much health care and their livelihoods depend on their bodies in the very real sense that they use their bodies to create a living: most jobs in rural areas are very physical.”

As a result, Tim’s focus very much reflects the inte-grated approach adopted by World Spine Care.

Says Roisin, “We learnt a lot while volunteering. One has to be very adaptable but we had solid backing and support with regular clinical meetings, and were working alongside an internationally based research team.”

World Spine Care is a global charity established in 2008 with the goal of improving lives in under-served communities. The aim is to create a world in which eve-ryone has access to the highest quality spine care possi-ble, according to founder Scott Haldeman, a leading fig-ure in the assessment and treatment of spinal conditions.

The pilot project in Botswana is a multidisciplinary one, and both Tim and Roisin benefited professionally from their experience working with physiotherapists, doctors and neurosurgeons from around the world, and being involved with research too.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re dealing with a farmer in Botswana or a caregiver in Motueka: a body is a body. “We seek to reduce pain and improve functionality, as well as educate patients on how they can take responsi-bility for their own health,” says Tim.“In Southern Africa we were dealing with long-term lack of medical care, here in New Zealand we are often dealing with the effects of stress and sedentary living.”

Now you’ll be able to benefit from their combined training, expertise and integrative approach towards wellness.

Many rural people suffer from long-term neglect due to limited access to health care and appropriate facilities. World Spine Care is a global charity on a mission to improve the lives of those in impover-ished communities. Their aim is to create a world in which everyone has access to the highest quality spine care possible.

Motueka Community Swimming Pool fundraisingA fundraising campaign is well under way to cover the Motueka Community Swimming Pool. The project is under the management of Good Sports Motueka, the community organisation responsible for building the Motueka Sports Park grandstand.The pool project will see the existing Motueka High School Pool covered and eventually heated, and turned into an aquatic facility used by the school and the community under a sharing agreement.The Department of Internal A�airs last week agreed to pay for an independent, professional Feasibility Study, which is required for an application for signi�cant Lotteries funds to complement the $400,000 community fundraising target.No Tasman ratepayer money will be used for the project, so the fundraising team are urging Motueka people to get behind the initiative with generous donations. For more information and contact details, go to www.motuekaswimmingpool.nz.

Feedback invited on regional land�ll proposalTasman District Council is proposing a change to how it controls and operates Eves Valley land�ll. You are invited to make a submission on the proposal, which would see Nelson City and Tasman District Councils operate a land�ll that serviced the whole region, rather than each operating individual land�lls. As part of the proposal, the Councils will transfer 50% control of Eves and York Valley land�lls to each other. A Regional Land�ll Business Unit would be created to run the regional land�ll, and would be a controlled by a joint committee of the two councils.The arrangement is intended to reduce our long-term costs and better meet the Councils’ joint aim of reducing waste volumes in the region. To proceed with the arrangement, we are amending our Long Term Plan 2015 – 2025.

Find out more:All the detail, including information on the proposal’s impact on capital spending, debt, rates and waste disposal charges is available on our website, www.tasman.govt.nz/feedback. You can also view the consultation document at Council service centres and libraries or call in at the public drop-in session at Council’s o�ce in Queen St, Richmond on 11 July, 5.30pm – 7.00pm to discuss the proposal.

SAFIA ARCHER Claiming seven golds, one silver, one bronze, and the trophy for top

twelve year old female are all in a weekend’s work for Motueka local Piper Riley of Tasman Swim Club.

Her massive medal haul took place at a regional Christchurch swim meet last weekend.

Piper has been swimming since she was a wee tyke at three and half years old, and is now coached by Andy Adair, racing competi-tively since she was eight.

“It’s just exciting and you get to meet all these new people and travel as a group, try something different, and just enjoy it.

“It’s energetic, loud, thrilling and exciting at the meets,” she said.Piper has broken all the Nelson Marlborough freestyle short

course records, even her own by 1.98 seconds in the 100m as New Zealand’s fastest twelve year old girl.

“It’s more of a mental thing that a physical thing – mentally you’ve got to be prepared.”

Mum Melanie is really proud of her she said.“We think she’s coming into her own now, and come to realise that

she’s got the skills.”In two weeks’ time Piper is heading back to Christchurch, then

Auckland for short course nationals, so watch this space!
