On a beautiful Golden Bay day a large crowd was led to Collingwood’s War Memorial by the Takaka Citizens Band after the Citizen’s Service in the Memorial Hall. Wreaths were laid by many community groups and the bugler playing the Last Post was movingly accompanied by the band. Then the Citizen’s Band marched everyone back to the hall for refreshments. Earlier, at 6.15am servicemen past and present and the members of the Fire Brigade and the public assem-bled for the Dawn Parade.

The stillness in the air was palpable as hun-dreds gathered for the ANZAC day dawn serv-ice at the Motueka War Memorial on Pah Street.

Councillor Peter Canton addressed the humbled crowd.

“As the dawn of another ANZAC day approaches we gather here to pay tribute to the memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the Boer War, the Great War, and in more recent world war conflicts.

“At this hour, upon this day, ANZAC received it’s baptism by fire.

“We who are gathered here 101 years after and upon this hollow ground think of the comrades who went out with us into the battlefields of past wars but did not return.

“We will remember them.”

A poignant speech by head students of Motueka High School,

Hine Markham-Nicklan and Aaron Bunn, marked a long standing tradition and linked young with old.

Squadron Leader Andrew Anderson of the Royal New Zealand Air Force thanked the com-munity for the ongoing support and the sacrifices made, while acknowledg-ing the very real threats we face today.

“Without support and partnership of the local community, and vice versa, the NZDF would not be what it is today. We are and continue to be grateful for the ongo-ing support that the NZ communities give us,” he said.

“The sacrifice of serv-ice families is extremely important and the NZDF works to support them.”

He noted our ongo-ing partnership with Australian forces in tack-ling piracy, terrorism and people and drug traffick-ing internationally.

“As the challenges we face as a nation and as a world change, so we must adapt ourselves, or risk becoming irrelevant.

“Today as we reflect on the events of a century ago, we must also look to our future.”

He reminded the crowd to remember those that came before us, while not at the expense of the here and now.

“There is perhaps no greater tribute than to learn what happened to them and to use those lessons to create a better world for ourselves and our descendants”

Men and women lay poppies as dawn broke, and the wind picked up as The Reverend Russell Pickersgill-Brown said the final prayer.

RSA Welfare Officer Les Stanton led the Motueka brass band, vet-erans, and service men and women up Pah Street for the closing march.

WEDNESDAY 27 APRIl 2016 3

SAFIA ARCHER Local glazier business Abel Glass went up

in smoke last week, but owners Darren Mills and Michael Young remain optimistic about the future, having already secured temporary premises on Huffman Street.

The fire, which tore through the Old Wharf Road building after 9pm last Wednesday, took 40 - 45 fire fighters and 9 fire appliances from Motueka, Kaiteriteri, Upper Moutere, Mapua, Richmond and Nelson half an hour to contain with no injuries to report.

Chief Fire Officer Mike Riddell said the cause of the blaze will be listed as undetermined.

“Most likely it is related to some sort of electri-cal event of the building.

“Because everything was destroyed we lack the vital pieces to pinpoint what actually destroyed the building,” he said.

While the building was insured the business was not, and Darren estimates they will endure a business loss in excess of $30,000 in addition to personal effects destroyed by the flames.

“The whole thing’s a write off … all our gear is gone so we’ve just got to start again really. We’re probably not going to discover what we

Local glazier to rise from the ashes

had until we go to use something.“I’m still a bit shocked actually, it’s not some-

thing you expect to happen in the middle of the night … we’ll just get on with it.”

“Hopefully within six months we’ll be back at the old place in a new flash building.

“We’ll be rising from the ashes,” Darren said. Michael said the local community has rallied

around the business with offers of everything from the cash in their pockets, to tools and premises.

“People have been amazing, you hear the sto-ries … when things like this happen … they just come from everywhere offering help.

“We want to thank the local community for their support,” he said.

Woodland Rest Home receives ANZAC blessing

Reverend Matt Beech addressed the residents at the Woodland Rest Home ANZAC service last Friday, while Les Stanton, Motueka Memorial RSA Welfare Officer, looks on.“We give thanks to those that have fallen…let’s also remember that we are here in the present and also that we look forward to the future,” he said.

Perfect Pakawau campingCampers rejoice! Pakawau Beach

Park is open all year and in charge is a true local, Gary Riordan.

Born in Pakawau Gary is delighted to be back in his home town and at the helm.

“I love the people, I love the camping and I love this environment. Imagine waking up here to this view every morn-ing? What a lovely spot to call your office!”

“It’s a wonderful beach side camping ground and I intend to keep it as an affordable family camping place.

My vision is to freshen it up but I’ve got to keep it affordable. I could do a com-plete refurbishment but then I’d need to charge more. I want to maintain the idyllic Pakawau feel – a good old rural atmosphere.”

It was 22 days into Gary’s reign Anzac weekend and he was busy. All eight cabins and the self contained beach cot-tage were occupied , his 16 powered sites were taken and campers and off grid caravaners were dotted about.

Gary’s cheerful face and warm wel-come at this wonderful spot meant that a number of them rebooked as they left Monday; some for the New Year but oth-ers for much sooner.

Over the road ,where Gary was once a pupil, is the Old School Café.

“We’ve got an ideal set up here,” said Gary. “Robbie and Wendy run the café and we complement one another. During winter they’re open Thursday through Sunday. In the height of sum-mer it’s 7 days.”

Gary’s expecting things to quieten down come winter but he’s hoping to attract school and other interest groups.

Camp ground owner is American Landon Carter . He purchased the prop-erty in 2006 for $2 million, and until recently he had plans to convert the camping ground to a multi million dollar holiday resort. But after innumerable stumbling blocks Landon lost interest and he’s relocated to California. The camping ground was to have closed indefinitely at the end of March. That is until Gary ,who has known Landon for

some time, came up with a proposal and the two agreed on a lease favour-able to them both.

“Even if the property sells I have a year up my sleeve,” said Gary, “Landon wants $3.6 million.”

Gary’s a builder by trade , but he’s spent most of his working life since 2011 at D.O.C.’s Totaranui camping ground as second in charge. He’s grateful to his manager. “ He taught me everything I need to know about running a camp.”

Gaye Benjamin, Gary’s partner who is also a local , worked in the Pakawau Store some years ago and she’ll prob-ably do so again as the couple plan to reopen it as a convenience store soon . Presently she’s busy four days a week caring for people in their own homes with Healthcare New Zealand. “It’s good fun being here and if we reopen the shop there’ll be no worries as I’ve done it all before.”

“We certainly hit the ground running. We shifted over from Collingwood the day we took over!” Gary and Gaye agreed.

“This is a fabulous spot. Besides relaxations there’s lots to do It’s a great base for whitebaiters!”

Imagine waking here to this view every morning? What a lovely spot to call your office!

Gary and Gaye , both locals, have returned home to the Pakawau Beach Park. They are very happy with Gary’s decision to become the leseee. Anzac weekend was very busy. During winter they plan to attract school groups.

alumna Rebecca Adams has danced her way into the World Championships of Performing Arts to be held in Los Angeles this July.

The twenty-year-old University of Canterbury student and her dance group

Dancing her way to LA

Defy went along to the international auditions in Christchurch last November

“Then about two weeks later we got an email [saying] we want you in the NZ team,” she said.

The annual compe-tition, considered the Olympics of the per-forming arts world,

kicks off July 23 with a live-stream final.

Rebecca started dancing as a five-year-old and hasn’t stopped since.

“I just have a love for dance. When I’m dancing I’m happy … when I’m dancing ... this is my place, I can do whatever I want to do.

SAFIA ARCHER“There are certain

rules when I’m dancing but when I’m doing it for myself I’m allowed to break those which is cool.

“You’ve got to have technique as well as being able to form and entertain and interact with the audience,” she said.

Rebecca, who is majoring in psychology and education, said her former ballet instructor Louise Hawke of the Academy of Ballet Arts inspired her to teach part time while com-pleting her studies.

“I enjoy working with children, and passing on my passion to them is pretty cool as well.”

Mum Phillipa said Rebecca has always had a love of dance.

“We used to call her happy feet right from birth, she was just always moving.

“We’re pretty proud of her, while still get-ting good grades and working hard at univer-sity as well, she saves every bit of money from teaching to try and get to LA, and res-taurant work too.

“[It’s a] huge commit-ment but it is her pas-sion, and it’s her happy place,” Phillipa said.

Fundraising for Rebecca’s trip is ongo-ing, including a Give a Little Campaign (ht tps: / /g iveal i t t le .co.nz/cause/rebec-catola) and an on-campus concert in Christchurch.

Rebecca Adams enjoyed a brief trip home to Motueka before head-ing back to Christchurch to prepare and fundraise for the World Championships of Performing Arts in Los Angeles in July.

Eleven year old Eli Pomeroy of Golden Bay wore his great grandad, Robert Miller’s medals to Collingwood’s Anzac Parade .Ever since Eli was really small he’s attended Anzac parades as his grandad Barry was the Collingwood R.S.A.’s president. Barry relinquished that role last year after 26 years. This Anzac morn-ing Eli’s grand mother pinned the medals on his chest after explaining their origins to him. Robert fought in the 1939-45 war and saw action in Africa.

Motueka local Jesse Peacock has baked his way to New Zealand’s Trainee Baker of the Year Competition to be held in Auckland this June.

To secure one of the top spots at the national competition, Jesse, who bakes at Patisserie Royale on High Street, had to send an assortment of baked delights to a Wellington based judg-ing panel.

The all expenses paid competition will kick off end May with a two day training course in Christchurch with tutor Graham Heaven, followed by a live bake-off at the Auckland Fine Food Show, June 27-29th.

The competition organisers, Baking Industry Association of New Zealand, called to tell Jesse the good news.

“I was in the movies actually and they rung me up I had heaps of missed calls … I rang them back and they told me I was in the top six,” Jesse said.

Jesse, who has got

Apprentice baker on the rise

another year and a half to go to complete his apprenticeship, has been working at the local Patisserie since he was a teenager.

“I came in here one day after school and asked for a job, left school when I was 17,

and asked if I could have a fulltime job.”

Owner Fred van Kleef said yes and the rest is history.

“I started doing all the shop … and then all the bakers left…and [Fred] asked me to do all the baking for

him so I started doing that, and then the year before last I just spent doing an apprentice-ship,” Jesse said.

“I just like food and it’s quite good seeing the end product that you make

“It’s a good trade to

have … as it can take you all over the place.”

As for whether Jesse has plans to work overseas in the near future: “I’ll wait until my apprenticeship’s finished and see what happens after that,” he said.

Jesse Peacock shows off baked goods at Patisserie Royale in Motueka. Jesse is set to compete at a national bake-off this June.

SAFIA ARCHERLevity Beet’s quirky

tunes gave local youngsters something to smile about this school holidays with an energetic performance at Motueka Library last Friday morning.

The Golden Bay muso, who performs musical stories for chil-dren aged 0-10 years old, is a popular local draw card.

“People know his name. We actually had a waiting list and

It’s all about the Beethad to turn people away as we have to be aware of the space,” said Library Assistant Mary Butler.

“Levity plays around the district and it’s a great opportunity to offer something to the community… to bring them into the library.”

The children were enthralled and engaged by Levity’s unique musical instru-ments, which included a musical chair that at first appeared to be a

stool, only to transform into a harp, a thumb piano and a flute.

“It’s amazing how well those little kids sit, I was really impressed ... He’s got such a love-ly manner with them, getting them to join in.”

Levity encourages the youngsters to par-ticipate throughout the show, handing out priz-es, inspiring them to

dance and to engage with the music.

“I’ll play one more song … an easy one that you all know the words to so you can all join in,” said Levity during his set, break-ing into a beat reminis-cent of crowd favourite ‘twinkle twinkle little star’.

Levity’s toe-tapping tunes have underlying

educational messages that provide a fun and unique learning envi-ronment for preschool and primary aged chil-dren.

Creativity and inno-vation ran rife through-out the show with the youngsters inspired into action by his off-beat quirky tunes, his ‘toot suit’ and ankles bells, even ani-

mal noises made an appearance.

The melodies cap-ture our unique Kiwi culture using humour-ous references to BBQs and sticky glue.

Levity, also a teach-er, will have his stu-dents perform during New Zealand music month this May 27th at the Takaka Memorial Library.

Levity Beet delights local youngsters with his musical chair at Motueka Library last Friday.

LettersThere is simply NO excuse for it. Today

(25th April) we found two tiny terrified kittens dumped at the Pokororo swing bridge. These are so young their eyes are still blue and have no chance to survive on their own. The Motueka SPCA accepts unwanted cats and kittens and has been offering subsidised or free de-sexing for over two years now.So, to the person (if they deserve such a title) who dumped these, you are either:

1. Illiterate and have not been able to read our regular notices about desexing

2. Ignorant and simply don’t care3. Too lazy to even make the effort to get in

contact with the SPCA4. This one is too coarse to be printed

Hopefully the law of Karma will see you get your just desserts.

If anyone reading this has or is aware of cats in need of de-sexing then please get in contact with us on 5268282 and help prevent cruelty such as this. If you need to surrender cats or kittens then please contact Sue on 5288467 or the local vets.

A “Thank you….”A big thank you to those 40 people who came

to the latest Seminar for Seniors held on April 19th at St. Thomas’ Church.

Especially to Julia O’Connor, staff solicitor from Nelson Bays Community Law who gave a very helpful and well-received presentation on the subjects of Wills and Trusts-two widely encompassing areas. Also to the two very will-ing helpers, (Rosemary and Jackie) from the Parish’s A.A.W fellowship who served lunch; to the deli and bakery staff at New World who put this together, certainly being enjoyed.To the kind staff at Motueka’ Floral studio; to Tim O’Connell and staff at The Guardian; to Sandy Hayes, operating the sound desk at St. Thom’s. But of course, no less to all who came, making this event a success. There will be two more Seminars this year, so ‘watch this space’ for developments…………..Kindest regards and every blessing,Rev. Matt. BeechMotueka Anglican Parish/CommunityElder-care Coordinator.

From Friday 6 May, the Tasman District Council will conduct its annual survey to find out how Tasman resi-dents think the Council is performing.

Tasman Mayor Richard Kempthorne said it was important for the Council to regu-larly examine how resi-dents feel the Council delivers services to the community.

“The residents’ sur-vey helps us to track our performance and hear the views of our communities on what we do well and where we can improve. One way this can be done is through an inde-pendent and impartial interview with a rep-resentative cross-sec-tion of Tasman people.

Residents to have say on Council’s performance

“The results of the survey will be made public and will form part of the Council’s formal reporting. They are a critical ingre-dient in planning for further improvements to our services. We really hope those who are contacted to par-ticipate in the survey take the opportunity to let us know how they think we are doing.”

The Council com-missions the National Research Bureau (NRB) to undertake the telephone survey.

Using a randomised selection method, NRB will telephone residents throughout the District to ask for their opinion. The sur-vey is totally confiden-tial.

SAFIA ARCHERAfter a six week

search for the pre-fect script, Imagine Theatre is all set to bring the house down with their new show Mothers and Fathers, opening May 5th.

Originally written by playwright Joe Musaphia in 1975, the play follows two cou-ples and their journey towards surrogate par-enthood.

“We did a search for kiwi comedies, we wanted to do some-thing kiwi, and a rough sense of the kinds of cast we want to get,” director Jeff Santa Barbara said.

“We’re a community group so we’re here to serve the people who want to be involved, and if people want to be part of the produc-tion we want to accom-

Director Jeff Santa Barbara looks on as the Imagine Theatre cast of ‘Mothers & Fathers’ assume character. (L-R) Helen Mayhew, Chris Saggers, Halina Horn, and Matt Rothwell.

Kiwi comedy with a twist

modate that.”While the show is

essentially a comedy, it will offer the audience deeper insights into the character’s lives.

“It’s going to get peo-ple laughing and peo-ple are going to have a fun night, but within that I looked for some-thing that actually has some substance to it,” Jeff said.

“It’s more than a fluffy comedy, there’s some heart to it.

“There’re some char-acters that go though difficult things and learn something about themselves, and come out better for the expe-rience,” he said.

Jeff has directed plenty of shows in his home country Canada, but this is his first for Imagine Theatre.

“They’re a great bunch of people, I real-

ly feel like we lucked out to be honest.”

One of his favourite scenes is of intoxicat-ed character Bernard Longman, played by actor Chris Saggers.

“Chris is an astound-ing performer… it’s really good comedy but it stretches on so long that it has that twist, that turn that it goes from comedy to being painful and sad and he masters it really well,” Jeff said.

Jeff already has an idea or two for the next show, but he’s keeping mum for now.

Imagine Theatre will be raising the cur-tains at 7.30pm May 5, with 3 shows only. Tickets can be bought at Unichem Pharmacy Motueka or on the door unless sold out prior.

Students eye open to UN debate

The leaders of today’s youth in the region gathered for a meeting at Nayland College on April 11 for the 4th annual Nelson UN Youth NZ Model United Nations.

Students from ten schools across the Nelson, Golden Bay, Marlborough and the Buller region attended this UN gathering with 105 students in total attended.

They were allotted countries from around the world to represent and speak on behalf of that country’s govern-ment.

UN Youth is the youth arm of the United Nations Association of New Zealand (UNANZ), a member of the World Federation of UN Associations (WFUNA).

T h r o u g h o u t Aotearoa, UN Youth equips young people to become informed, engaged and critical New Zealanders who understand their global context and the con-nections between local and global.

Model UN confer-ences task students with representing a for-eign country in a sim-ulation of the United Nations or another international body. It challenges students to step outside their personal space and advocate for a view-point, culture or way of government that is very different from their own.

Students had group discussions around the 5 regional areas in the

world; African, Asia, Eastern European, Western European and Latin America/Caribbean which their countries were in. Here they quickly fell into alliances if not into groups against one another.

It is the first time stu-dents from Tapawera Area School have attended this event. At first they were daunted with the whole con-cept, but the students who came were indi-vidually good speak-ers, had good general knowledge about the world around them and hold a social con-science.

Roy Turner from Tapawera Area School in Year 11, “thought the Global UN was a good chance to speak and let your voice to be heard.” Roy took the initiative to speak up a few times and asked some search-ing yet pertinent ques-tions.

Heather Taylor, also from Tapawera said, “that it has been a great experience for me. I really enjoyed it and I am interested in doing this again espe-cially now I know what it’s all about.”

From regional events students can apply to attend the New Zealand Model UN held in Wellington every July, this oppor-tunity can lead to inter-national delegations and can further help students foster their skills and knowledge of international rela-tions and diplomacy.

S.P.C.A.has cute kittens waitingfor good homes

These delightful kittens await good homes. Suzie Krammer of the S.P.C.A. took these photos and she said they are both delightful. She’s named the tabby Mr Brown and the cutie on the right, Stevie. “ They’re available for adoption. They’ve been desexed, vacci-nated, microchipped, defleaed and wormed.”

Dangerous dogs The main influence for dog aggression is the

present environment (ie: the owner). Breed is only one factor influencing aggression Breed is an important factor but enforcement would be very difficult. If you were able to enforce it, the dogs would simply be replaced with another dangerous breed.

American Pit Bull Terriers (bred to fight other dogs) are causing most of the serious dog attack problems at the moment. If they were banned and wiped out, the same irresponsible people may choose the next macho breed. As a result, the problem may become worse.

Most dog bites are by the victim’s own dog. This comes from dysfunctional relationships where the dog is given equal rights and is treated like a little human. This contradicts nature and creates a frustrated animal. It creates a hierar-chical relationship between dogs and humans which should not exist.

Eddy’s Auto RepairsNew name, original possieA new name, the original possie at 84 Main Road

Lower Moutere, and a great couple of guys – that’s Eddy’s Auto Repairs.

There’s Eddy Frans who has been in the trade 43 years! And Jub Khan who will complete his adult apprenticeship in December this year. And Shelley in support as the part time office administrator.

Look out for their new sign- coming soon!

Busy family lives tooOutside of working hours the pair have busy lives. Jub

and Stacey have three children and Eddy and Debbie six – “enough for a rugby team”. And both blokes are involved in motor sport. Their wives work as Early Childhood teachers.

A new businessWith their new name, they are classified as a new busi-

ness in the eyes of the powers that be, and that’s meant they have had to have a thorough going over, both the equipment and Eddy and Jub too. Any day now the WOF (re) registration is due.

Experienced A Grade mechanic“It’ll be the same friendly service as previously. With

full car servicing we’re able to cater for all customers’ motoring needs,” said Eddy. “From warrants, to tyres and servicing. I’m an A Grade mechanic and we’re LPG and Air Conditioning certified.”

Eddy began his apprenticeship with his Dad Henry’s Frans Motors at Tahunanui in 1973. Once he was quali-fied Eddy went off to Holland and worked for a year there on ‘Volvo’ trucks. Returning to Nelson he worked at Cable Price Toyota in Halifax Street before moving to Wrightcars which later became Bowater Motors. For 19 years he managed the Riverside Garage. And then for the past four and half years he was in partnership at Town and Country Motors. Now he’s completely his own boss hence the new name!

Heat/air conditioningAir conditioning servicing is a new service. Hassles

with either your air con or your heater can be fixed effi-ciently.

Jub is in the midst of an air conditioning over-haul.

guardianthe


Saturday morningsLocated in Lower Moutere, a few doors along from the

Lower Moutere Store and on the same side, Eddy’s Auto Repairs is open six days a week.

Saturday’s really useful for those who work all week as it ( will soon again) include Warrants of Fitness checks. That day they’re open between 8.30am and 12 noon.

Tyres“I’ve sold ‘Goodride’ Tyres for years,”said Eddy “They’re

a good product at an economical price. We also have the premium Kumho Tyre range at competitive prices.

There’ll be tyre specials for a time to celebrate the new business.”

Free tyre fitting and balancing is offered for all tyres sold by Eddy and Jub.

Genuine parts We have genuine parts. They are superior products,

cheaper than the generic substitutes. And you get the right part first time at the same price or better.

Specialised oilsUsing specific oils is important. We go out of our way

to make sure we always use the correct oils.

The team - Shelley Jones with Jub and Eddy

Courtesy carsThe guys are pleased to be able to offer you a courtesy

car while you await your car’s repair. With limited public transport Toyota courtesy cars are Eddy’s choice.

Eddy’s Auto repairs is good for you because..The premises are easy to find, and there’s plenty of

parking, Eddy’s an A Grade mechanicThe staff is LPG and Air conditioning certified.Courtesy cars are available for your useGenuine parts are used, Goodride and Kuhmo tyres Specialised oils are usedOpen Saturday mornings for servicing and tyres.Tyres at competitive prices through Capricorn.

SuggestionWinter’s fast approaching. Why not have Eddy’s Auto

Repairs give your vehicle the once over Eddy offers free battery checks.

Like minded folk working togetherAfter a lengthy search...Janis Ord has finally found the perfect commercial prop-erty, after two years of looking . . ‘MOTropolis’. A place where like minded people can work together, but inde-pendently. Her own Jazz Graphics Design is housed in one of the sunny front rooms where she has surrounded herself with beautiful Hoglund glass work and just a few of the thousands of books, brochures and catalogues she’s designed over the years.

MOTropolis’ open!Last Sunday ‘MOTropolis’ at 31 Wallace Street, OPENED. A big thankyou to all those who came and enjoyed the happy and vibrant day. And of course all the volunteers to help set it up.

Anyone else?This sunny, warm, roomy building with its third of an acre of grounds houses Janis’ ‘Jazz Graphics’ and her ‘Find It and Do It Visitor’s Map” business, Rachel Weale’s ‘Chill Deep Tissue Massage & Booking Ageny’, op-shop space for the S.P.C.A. and Natalie Stratmore’s ‘Graceful Clothing’- fine fashion for fine women. (And there’s still space for one other amazing tenant - call Janis 021 456 493 or pop in.)

Janis is delighted with her new MOTropolis where the bright sunny welcoming premises house an interesting mix of enthusiastic local folk.

Watch out Mot, Janis is in town!Enthusiastic and experienced!Janis’s enthusiasm and energy has returned in leaps and bounds. “Watch out MOT now I’m in town!” she warns. “I’ve been everywhere, and done many things… from organising events, dances, typsetting, programing, sales manager, general manager, business owner, run-ning Hoglund Art Glass Gallery 4 days a month and now commercial land owner. She has a passion for tourism, from extensive travelling and her time living at Tapu on the Coromandel, working side by side with Tourism Coromandel on sales, promotion and design.”

A conference centre plannedIn the ‘MOTropolis’ back yard is a very large industrial garage with the most enormous boardroom table. Janis plans a conference centre & meeting rooms with toilets and a kitchen. Already there have been two meetings there, come check out the dream!

So ‘MOTropolis’ is open. Things are on the move. Watch this space!

Go check them out at 31 Wallace Street.

Below is just a small part of Sunday’s opening day crowd.

28 years in AucklandJanis was originally based in Auckland and has owned Jazz Graphics for 28 years. But 10 years ago moved to Nelson and then 5 years ago to Lower Moutere. Her husband Joe died suddenly 2 ½ years ago and Janis was left shocked and bereft. It’s taken her this long to get back on track. “I needed to get out and about, and work with people again,” she said. “And I’ve always liked projects!.” So MOTropolis was born.

Lots of energyWith lots of energy and tourism experience from the Coromandel, Janis will be a huge asset to help put Motueka on the map with her enthusiasm and the Find it & Do it Visitor’s Map for the greater Nelson region.

Our goal - a waiting listA waiting list“The Motueka S.P.C.A’s ultimate goal is to have a list of people waiting for kittens!” said Chairperson, Annette McFadgen.

Really exciting“It’s really exciting having our own place at MOTropolis. It was good of Janis to offer it to us. We’d been look-ing for a shop frontage for our Op Shop for a couple of years,” she said.

Op Shop hoursThe shop is open 9.30am until 4pm each weekday and on Saturday’s from 10am until 2pm. The Society intends to keep its weekly stall at the Sunday market as well. “It’s great for publicity and education,” said a very busy volunteer.

Donations gratefully accepted“Any good quality clean donations are welcomed. Please telephone us on 02102445933 if you have goods. And we will pick them up”“We have a great bunch of volunteers but we are always on the look out for more. Please telephone Sue on 528 8467 if you’re interested.” Said Annette.

“Funds raised here in Motueka are spent wholly on local animals; mostly cat de-sexing,” said Annette.

Allan Culling, one of the team who works for “those who cannot speak for themselves” helps arrange ’new’ goods in the SPCA Op Shop.

“I love my job! It’s a real privilege working with families who are grieving. I witness the love they have for one another, and being part of that is inspiring.”

Over the last 15 years since she established Living Legacies Lynda Hannah’s social enterprise has helped change the nature of funerals and the funeral industry in this country.

“When I first started I was generally treated as a com-plete nutter! But when I spoke with people one to one to explain what I was offering they’d say it sounded quite nice – mostly they thought it was a good idea. Until then, people had always assumed that when someone dies a funeral director has to be engaged, which has never been the case. So most of my work is education. And now what I am offering is considered much more main-stream. Everyone’s heard of it and most people want it. I was trying to change the face of death in New Zealand. And I have!”

Dying doesn’t cost the Earth

Lynda stands before Motueka’s Natural Burial Park which she helped to establish. A great legacy!

So what has she done that makes her business dif-ferent?

She offers education and empowerment, supporting families to care for their own dead – the final act of love.

She uses only natural processes and products. There’s no embalming and no toxic MDF coffins.

Options for burial (or cremation) include a shroud on a pine base, a locally grown, locally made, untreated, unlined, undecorated pine coffin which gives the fam-ily a chance to decorate it themselves, a woven willow basket coffin, or a range of eco coffins manufactured in the North Island.

She was involved in establishing Natural Burial Parks in Motueka and Takaka,two in Nelson, and others nation-wide, in which graves are shallower allowing for a faster decomposition and a more natural process to take place. Native shrubs or a tree may be planted on the grave with the aim of creating a native bush area.and a sanctuary for wildlife. A great legacy!

Lynda runs natural funeral workshops and offers pri-vate consultations for people to find out what they need to know, because everyone will need to know it one day.

In 2002 she wrote and published “Living Legacies - a natural funeral handbook for an evergreen world”. This was in response to world wide interest in Living Legacies, being the first natural funeral company in New Zealand, and one of only a handful in the world at the time. She’s presently revising and updating the book and intends publishing it as an ebook as well as a paperback later this year.

Through Living Legacies Lynda supports and empow-ers the family to be actively involved in the whole proc-ess of death and dying, including the care of the body, the paperwork, planning a meaningful funeral ceremony, transportation, writing a death notice, making phone calls, catering, etc.

“I help families with their options, rights, and respon-sibilities. There are only two legal obligations as far as death is concerned. A body must be legally disposed of before it becomes a public health hazard, and it must always be treated with dignity. Everything else is optional!”

So Lynda’s primary role is to educate the community in order to make things easier for families to direct their own funerals.

“My role is to facilitate the family’s process – they are directing and in control of it at all times.” There are deci-sions to be made such as burial or cremation. Will there be a funeral and, if so, where will it be held? Who will give the eulogy (tell the life story)? What music will be played? Will it be a religious or secular ceremony? Will there be an opportunity for sharing memories? And what about afterwards - food etc?

Sometimes it is a memorial ceremony with the burial or cremation already having taken place and the body not present, or maybe just ashes. “This is happening more and more these days,” says Lynda. “It allows more time for distant family members to travel, if they don’t feel a need to see the body.”

Lynda is asked to conduct the ceremony in about 80% of the funerals she facilitates “Generally my clients tend to be secular and mostly choose non-religious

ceremonies.” she said.Ideally planning for the inevitable begins well before

death. “It makes the whole process a lot easier for

everyone, especially for those who have to make the arrangements. Families need to discuss these matters well in advance so they are clear about what to do when the time comes, because none of us knows when that will be. People make better decisions when they are healthy and happy, and so are happier with them later. It takes a lot of the stress and anxiety out of the loss and allows people to just grieve. It also reduces the potential risk of conflict. ”

Living Legacies’ funerals are not just eco friendly, they’re also economical compared to mainstream funer-als. Lynda says her clients generally save around $5,000 on average.

Lynda’s well trained for her role. Over twenty years ago she trained as a counsellor and since then she’s also qualified as a medical herbalist and a naturopath. This means she can also offer: • aturalhealthcare • Endoflifecare • Advocacy • alliativecare incon unction ithotherspecialists • ompanionship • Afterdeathcare • Funeralfacilitation • ele rancy • ounselling And she’s also a registered marriage and civil union celebrant.

Look out for ‘Organic New Zealand’ (previously the Soil and Health Magazine) coming out next week. It contains an article by Lynda about Living Legacies as she marks the changes in the funeral industry over the past 15 years.

SAFIA ARCHERA love of motors runs in Keegan Anglesey’s

family, so it comes as no surprise that the Tapawera Area School student has won his latest race in the New Zealand Cross Country Championship series.

The sixteen-year-old had a slow start at the Taranaki based race but managed to recover, positioning himself into fourth place after the first lap.

“I had quite a bad start I was about last off the line because you have to run 5 metres to start the bike after a shot gun goes off, and the bike didn’t want to start very well, so I was around last off the line but managed to pass,” Keegan said.

Keegan, who was riding his Yamaha YZ125 during the race, said he panicked at first but soon recovered his confidence as he is used to tackling the steep terrain at the family farm.

“Then I just made a pass into 3rd on my second lap then half way through the race the leaders took each other out.”

He went on to steal the race from Raglan local Logan Shaw by 24 seconds.

“I started to pass them both and got a bit of a lead on them but then I had to do a pit stop, to fuel and one of them got in front of me again but I managed to catch him in one of the rough parts of the track which I’m quite good at.”

Racing is a family affair for the Anglesey fam-ily, with parents Lisa and Bill Angelsey mucking in during competition time.

“Mum, dad, and couple of other guys from Nelson pit stop crew from top of the south that help each other out,” Keegan said.

“Dad got me into riding motor bikes when I was 4 and I’ve been riding them ever since.”

Keegan then started racing cross country at twelve years old, and has learnt to manage any pre-race jitters by tackling the terrain in Tapawera in part for practice, but most impor-tantly for a good time.

“I used to be quite stressed before races but just lately I’ve been quite chilled out,” he said.

“I’m not really too worried on my places, usu-ally I just go out there for fun – when you’re not stressed out you don’t make as many mistakes so you get better places anyway.

“Ride your motorbike to enjoy it, and it’ll all fall into place.”

The Top of the South VMX club are holding their annual Ray Anderson Memorial Trophy and Club Champs on the 1st of May (Sunday) at Tadmor. This year is the 12th running of the Ray Anderson Memorial. Ray Anderson was member of the Nelson motor-cycle club from 1947 to when he passed away in 2003 and spent 52 years as secre-tary or treasurer, as well as being a member of the MNZ executive in the early 1960’s. Ray received the service award medal from MNZ in 1996 and also the Nelson commu-nity service award in 2002 for long-standing and valuable contribution to the sport of motorcycling. Ray raced all over the country and was involved in most motorcycle busi-

nesses in Nelson until he retired at age 65. The Ray Anderson Memorial Classic

Trophy recognises this contribution and is raced for by a different class each year drawn on the day which gives all senior rid-ers the opportunity to race for the trophy. All the classes’ race for the club champs and the Tapawera Hotel Cup for the overall club champ. The 2016 event is proudly spon-sored by Morley Motorcycle & Marine.

Food & drink are available on the day with the profits from the food going to a family with a child with cancer. Sign in from 8am and racing starts at 10am.
