Histrionics Supreme Winners at regional community awards!

SAFIA ARCHERThe Supreme

Winner of the 2016 Trustpower Nelson Tasman Community Awards focused on creating an opportunity to draw people in the community together, and that’s just what the Histrionics achieved, taking the top honours this year.

Writer/ and director Sarah Jones of the Histrionics ‘Somme Experience’ said she was dumbfounded at the news.

“We just want to tell stories with children and the public, lest we forget,” she said.

“We want them to be living record … we are always very aware that we are guardians of the ANZAC history and we couldn’t be prouder.”

The Community Awards recognised the Histrionics diligent

work to tell personal, local community sto-ries and to connect the present community to our forebears and to each other they said.

“They work to foster in the community a far reaching compassion and understanding and to realise a sense of local and national iden-tity of New Zealand’s place in ANZAC his-tory.

“‘The Somme Experience’ was pre-sented this year, and focused on making ‘living’ history acces-sible through a school education programme available to local schools, providing places for more than 400 pupils and teach-ers.

“Their intention and hope is that every-one who visited ‘The Somme Experience’, who subsequently vis-its a war memorial, will

read the names and see them as ‘real’ peo-ple who fought for our country.

“They hope that they understand the loss of that generation still shapes our families today and that it has deepened the connec-tions between genera-tions.

“They touch on the darker side of war beyond the poppies and the euphemisms of war, showing how war is a human thing and that it involves moments of great courage and nobility, but that it is frightening and very sad for every-one; an understanding that the pupils can take forward in their adult life.

“Providing this expe-rience required many hours of research, planning, administra-tion, writing, produc-tion, directing and

more. “All of this done by

an amazing team of volunteers – all unpaid.

“This truly amazing experience connected many locals with each other and to the past and we think that you will do an incredible job at representing the Nelson and Tasman region at the National Community Awards.”

And Tasman locals scooped up plenty of other awards: the Tasman Award went to the Nelson Tasman Cycle Trails Trust; Youth Spirit finalists Conor Kennedy of Motueka High School and Dallas Bradley of Golden Bay High School; Golden Bay Community Organic Gardens were joint run-ner-up in the Heritage and Environment award; PANZ received the Art and Culture commendation; Young

@ Art were the run-ners up; and the Tasman Blue Beats Leisure Marchers were the Sports and Leisure runners up.

A catalyst for change

Pictured above: Teoti, 4, and Tamai, 2, were at the Motueka based March for Moko outside the Motueka Museum on Monday morning with mum Jasmine Goldsworthy, who said they were there to help New Zealand find a better answer in combatting child abuse.

SAFIA ARCHER The sound of children laughing was a poignant

reminder of why Motueka locals were gathered together on Monday, uniting in a nationwide stand to keep children safe by demanding jus-tice for the tragic end of three-year-old Moko Rangitoheriri’s life.

The toddler, who has become a symbol for the nationwide campaign against child abuse that seeks tougher penalties for perpetrators, died as a result of injuries suffered while in the care of Tania Shailer and David William Haewera.

The small humbled crowd stood shoulder to shoulder during the Sensible Sentencing Trust’s national rally against child killers getting away with murder under New Zealand’s current penal system they said – Moko’s killers were report-edly sentenced to the maximum 17 years under manslaughter legislation yesterday.

Sue Dudley, Motueka based grandmother of seven, reached out to the Sensible Sentencing Trust after hearing about a protest in Nelson she said.

“We’ve got to do something for our Moko,” she said.

“I’m overwhelmed by the turnout which is amazing for a small town like this… it’s very humbling, very heart-breaking.”

Fran Forsey of the Motueka Family Service Centre said the tragedy of Moko’s death was a reminder to be vigilant in our community.

The collective speech, written by the Trust and delivered by JP Diane Strong, sent one sombre message: “Enough is enough!”

“New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud, our Aotearoa, our beautiful country … a country that brings us so many things to be proud of, but when it comes to child abuse we can only be utterly ashamed.

“We have a problem, and we need to acknowl-edge it.

“Our children are dying. In the last 25 years, abuse, neglect and maltreatment has claimed over 200 children, last year being one of the worst years on record.

“The stories are heart-breaking, the pictures

are disturbing, the figures are confronting.” “Moko, your death has united a nation in grief

and horror at what happened to you, and will be a catalyst for change.”

“There is nothing that will ever justify the harm-ing of children. We say no more sugar coating and no more disguising. Killing our children is murder!”

Lisa Whittaker of Motueka SASH released balloons during the rally, that represented the nationwide average of one child killed every five weeks, based on statistics according to Child Matters, who state most of these children are under five with the largest group less than a year old.

Moko’s killers got 17 years for manslaughter, and weren’t tried for murder. How do you feel?

Ryan, MotuekaIt’s disgusting that Moko’s killers only got 17 years for murder. Child abuse is not fair and this sentence isn’t fair. It should have been harsher.

Mark, MotuekaThe Sensible Sentencing Trust is correct: we need to get the punish-ment of criminals right, especially when the case is black and white.

Melanie, FrancePeople guilty of violence against children in my country also don’t get a strict enough punishment. There isn’t enough space in the prisons!

Tom, WellingtonI believe the pun-ishment of 17 years fits the crime … there has to be good reason why they [the Crown] didn’t choose murder.

Matariki Pacifica recently received some funding through Rotary to help deliver workshops for the RSE workers at the hub, and since May 15 they have had Intern Art Therapist Tarn Le Pere (pictured above left) deliver Whakawhanaungatanga Workshops on Sundays.

Whakawhanaungatanga represents family connections and through art, Tarn draws out the participant’s stories, voiced through art, movement and music.

“Tarn Le Pere is in her final year at university and travels to and from Auckland, she is a friend of mine,” said Matariki

Pacifica coordinator Renee Docherty.“Together we are facilitating these workshops among oth-

ers such as Poi making and other arts and crafts are on the agenda.

“These workshops have an experiential element to them where we travel into the community and connect with people, locals, volunteers, and actively participate in learning about New Zealand Culture, and also learning more about our RSE (Recognised seasonal employers) workers and being immersed among them in a safe and warm environment.”

The local Toastmasters Club had more than one reason to celebrate this month, with the group commemorating a decade long history in Motueka.

The club marked the occasion with a special event at Motueka’s Sprig and Fern, with alumnus Roger Hynd flying down from Wellington espe-cially for the occasion, VP Public Relations Dave Moloney (pictured left) said.

“It was very thoughtful of him to come along … He was one of the founding members of the original Motueka Toastmasters.”

Motueka Toastmasters all started in Community House Dave said, and it’s a real testament to the club that it has outgrown that particular premise and is now based at St John’s meeting rooms on Courtney Street.

Dave said club meetings are generally on the first and third Wednesday of each month, and any visitors are more than welcome to come along. The meeting held on June 15 to celebrate ten years had an excellent turnout, with both past and present members in attendance

“One of our new members gave her first speech … it was incredible to see people devel-oping and then starting their first speech. Being part of the changes to their personal growth is so rewarding.

As a thanks from the club for their commit-ment and contribution over the last ten years, Don Grant and Richard Lucas received special honours.

“I had the honour of presenting a couple of badges. We have little lapel pins … that are only given to people on very special occasions; this presentation was a token of thanks to their leadership within the club.”

Don and Richard were present at the very first meeting in June 2006.

“We’re going to keep on growing, we have had a huge influx of new members.”

This is exciting for both the newcomers who are experiencing something new, and for the club Dave said.

“It’s great to have those new people in to give

everyone a different perspective on how they see public speaking.”

The club are at the beginning of their new year, which runs from July to June Dave said, and with that will come a whole new set of goals to work towards as a club for the next year.

“A lot of that is getting people up and speaking, and advancing them along the different projects that they need to do.

“We have four competitions that we run each year, and three of the competitions go up to NZ level, and one to the world competition.

“We have always been very well represent-ed at both the local and national level. Don Grant was NZ Humorous Speech Champion in 2014. And just last month we had Fiona Hodge representing us at the International Speech Competition in Rotorua, after winning our club, area and Christchurch competitions.

“For a little club, we are definitely punching well above our weight!” For more information visit www.facebook.com/Motueka-Toastmasters-206940359430235/?fref=ts

SAFIA ARCHERLocal school pupils got into the lit-

erary spirit last Thursday by donning fabulous costumes for the Motueka Public Library’s seventh annual Book Quiz.

Held for Year 5 and 6 school children, the quiz took place at Parklands School’s Aniwaniwa room.

“We invited 12 local schools to participate, and each school was able to send a team which consists of four school children,” Motueka librarian Mary Butler said.

“The aim is to inspire children’s interest in books, celebrate chil-dren’s literature, promote New Zealand authors, and complement the other cultural and sporting activi-ties in the district.”

The quiz kicked off at 10.00am with a parade for the teams that have came in costume, followed by a snack sponsored by New World.

There were four rounds of ten questions – one on general book knowledge, another based on Roald Dahl books, and the other two based on two of the 2016 New Zealand Book Award finalists.

The grand prize was a travelling trophy that will stay with the winning team for a year, and there were spot prizes for the participants.

“The young students had been reading madly, learning all about the books this year's questions were based around.

“By the narrowest margin of just .75 of a mark, Motueka South School's How To Train Your Bookworm team took out the quiz master prize.

“Followed closely behind by Riwaka School’s Raging Red Readers in second place, Upper Moutere’s UFOs in third place and Motueka Rudolf Steiner School’s The Mini Dahls close behind in fourth.

“Costume prizes went to Upper Moutere's UFOs in first place, Ngatimoti's Nanas and Poppas in

second, Brooklyn School's Rightful Readers team took our third, with St Peter Chanel's Book Geniuses Forever getting fourth prize.

“We were treated with a Skype session with Sue Copsey, Auckland author of "Ghosts of Tarawera", which was one of the books the children had a round of questions on.

“Hands were shooting up left, right and centre when the oppor-tunity came to ask Sue questions like "has she ever seen a real ghost?"

Everyone left with something in their tummies Mary said, and a prize in hand from video and ice cream vouchers to the big prize of book packs, thanks to fabulous local sponsorship from New World, Paperplus, The Warehouse, State Cinema Motueka, Toad Hall and Video Ezy.”

Motueka, Tasman & Golden Bayguardianthe

1. What is the Dragon’s Den and how did you become involved? Hine: Dragons Den is an opportunity where entrepreneurs get the chance to pitch their ideas to potential investors and in our case judges. Molly: Dragons Den is a place to get exposure and showcase our busi-ness to entrepreneurs. We became involved through the Young Enterprise Scheme.Ashlee: All YES teams can participate in Dragon's Den, it's a great oppor-tunity to take part in as the judges give you important feedback and critique to therefore improve your business.Anita: Ten of the top YES teams from our region pitch to local business people who judge our ideas which basically then determines who goes on to the finals.

2. You’ve mentioned you are also participating in the YES programme – what is this and why are you unique in doing so? Hine: We are collaborating with our favourite chefs and nutritionists and creating mutually beneficial relationships through showcasing their talent on our platform. As we have no business studies class, we feel like the underdogs. Molly: The YES programme is the young enterprise scheme ran by The Lion Foundation, it offers us the opportunity to set up and run our own business. We are unique in doing this as Motueka doesn't have a business class to do this in so we undertook YES ourselves. Ashlee: The Young Enterprise Scheme gives a chance for schools to get their students involved to create and run a business for a year. Being the only team that comes from Motueka High School makes us pretty unique.Anita: The YES programme is for school kids our age to get the chance to create a product or service and see what it’s like out in the real world of business.

3. How did you come up with your concept? ALL: We love magazines and we love food so we thought it would be so cool to combine those two things! After heaps of brainstorming we found ourselves always coming back to the idea of food and the idea of a foodie magazine came so naturally for us.

4. What/who is your biggest inspiration? Hine: My parents own Sublime Coffee and they’ve been schooling me in business since that started up. I love that despite the business growing, they’ve still stuck to the same core values and kept the same original vision. Molly: My Mum and my Oma are my biggest inspirations as I have grown up surrounded by their cooking and knowledge on all things food. My mum especially as we both share a common love for wholesome food.Ashlee: My parents have always been in the kitchen and encouraging my sisters and myself to get involved, they are both great cooks and have always loved to teach us how to cook new meals.Anita: My Pop because he cooks a quality Christmas dinner!

5. What do you hope to achieve from entering the Dragon’s Den? Hine: Winning would be cool! But we’re already pretty happy we got through to this round. Also gaining exposure and just letting everyone know what we’re all about. Molly: Just to get our business’s name out there would be awesome and to have people support our idea.Ashlee: I think just getting our idea out there and to have people in the community and region backing us would be great.Anita: Yeah, to gain exposure and receive feedback from local business people is something we are all really looking forward to!

Teaspoon Magazine is much more than just another foodie magazine. The Four Foodies are creating something much broader and more of a ‘collective’. This foodie magazine will include recipes donated from chefs and nutritionists such as Donna Hay, Michael Van De Elzen and Julia and Libby, as well as their favourite local chefs such as Daniel Monopoli, Tim Andrews and Nicola Galloway. Along with recipes you will be able to enjoy interviews, information on seasonal produce, kitchen and garden tips, and articles on the New Zealand Culinary Industry. The Four Foodies want to produce a ‘holy grail’ for food that is a must have for every kiwi kitchen, and are so proud to be able to present a collation of knowledge that is dynamic and exciting. Follow the Four Foodies on their culinary journey!

Tapawera Health Fest saw visiting profession-als provide a different day of learning for second-ary students recently.

On hand were various representatives from a range of health agencies associated with the NMDHB, as well as a local doctor, nurse, and physiotherapist.

Rotating workshops allowed small groups of students to work with these experts and have the chance to learn about health issues that could affect their lives. Bush safety, Smokefree and Mindfulness were some of the workshops on offer. During the lunch break health promotion displays and clinics were held in the hall.

Students had the opportunity to try their hand at activities, to learn about things that could affect them or their peers.

This ranged from getting their blood pres-sure checked, eyesight tested, learning how an asthma puffer worked, or testing their sense of balance on a wobble board.

The opportunity to try out a wobble board, which the physiotherapist had brought along, engaged a few students to try out their balance and brought on some laughter amongst peers.

If you belong to a gym, you may have seen this weird UFO-looking piece of equipment lying around.

They learnt how it’s used for strength training exercises, it's a great tool for runners, skiers, ten-nis players, and yogis because it helps improve coordination and balancing abilities.

Since the platform is a lot larger than the base that touches the ground, once you place any body part on the board, the rest of your body is forced to engage in order to hold yourself up.

This means you end up using multiple muscle groups at once.

Miraka Norgate Public Health Nelson Marlborough District Health Board a Health Promoter, presented the workshop ‘Smoke Free’.

“The students seemed well informed about what and how smoking really affects their well-being; this presentation confirmed what they already knew.

The students were very respectful, polite and engaged in terms of what I do and to why I was there,” she said.

Miraka said they students were asking is what we see on the smoking packets is real, how long do you have to smoke before you get that affect, does smoking really affect my reproductive sys-tem, astonishment at the costs that much, and asking for help to quit.

Year 12 Geri Stratford was appalled at the pic-tures that were on the packages. How individuals would continue to buy cigarettes knowing full well it is bad for your health.

Jordan Muru and Bradley Meade, both in Year 10, had a play around with a giant cigarette said they hated the smell of smoke left on someone’s breath and the environment on the whole.

The display that had competitions to win prizes always engaged the students and a few came away winners on the day.

The competition winners were Timo Hicks, Lacey Burnett and Aleisha Oakly.

All students at the Health Fest were placed into teams at the end of the day for a giant quiz test-ing lessons learned at the stalls and workshops.

Project De-Vine held its fourth working bee in the Riwaka / Marahau area on Saturday June 25 thanks to some luck with the weather.

The location alongside the Marahau River was sandy, enabling us to work easily” Chris Rowse, Project De-Vine director said, who came over to assist at the working bee and meet members of the Marahau / Sandy Bay Ratepayers & Residents Association, who had requested help to deal with Old Man’s Beard patches in the Marahau valley.

Local supporters, as well as keen weed-busting supporters from around the region spent the morning dealing with 150 Old Man’s Beard’s and one banana passion vine found along the roadside.

Project De-Vine’s Assistant Manager Emma Stephen, who organised the working bee, said it was very productive.

“We had weedbusters who had been before and some new to de-vining. “We demonstrated how to deal with vines by the “Cut and Paste” method

and supplied free bottles of gel to kill the vines on their own or other prop-erties.

“The bottles and expenses are covered by our sponsors - Nelson Building Society, Motueka Community Board and Cut’n’paste - based on Waiheke Island who supplies the gel at very generous rates.

“We want to show landowners that it is possible to control large numbers of pest vines which often appear overwhelming.

“We have achieved this in Golden Bay on many properties. In conjunc-tion with Project Janszoon, we are working around the boundaries of Abel Tasman National Park to achieve more control of pest plants.”

“The many vines along the river banks made a convenient location to show how to ‘cut and paste’ the vines” said Emma.

“In the one morning we managed to deal with all the sites of Old Man’s Beard that were visible in that section of the Marahau River banks.

“Follow up control work will be needed to deal with missed vines, which were buried in the flood plain by sand and debris.”

Tom Collet provided morning snacks and drinks to keep the enthusiasm of the team going, supplied by the Marahau Sandy Bay Residents and Ratepayers Association.

They are active keeping on top of the pest vines in Marahau and Otuwhero Valley.

Project De-Vine would like to hear from anyone with patches of Old Man’s Beard vines they could assist with their removal.

If you would be happy to host a working bee in the late spring, please contact Emma by email [email protected].

The Motueka Lions Club gave away two bins of apples outside the Motueka District Museum last Friday afternoon. This ties in with the closing week of the very popular apple exhibition at the museum, and recipients were rather happy too. Above are, from left, Ash Price of Lions, Parklands School pupils Riley Knight and Josephine Morris, and Lions presi-dent Mike Brown. The accompanying donation bucket collected over $400 for a new saddle for the horse purchased recently for Riding for the Disabled. This has been such a successful initiative that it’s on the agenda for next year again.

As part of the Book Week / Book Fair celebrations at St Peter Chanel School last week, the pupils from Room 1 dressed up as their favourite book characters.

The Motueka Rudolf Steiner kindergarten children, parents and teachers boarded a bus and visited the Te Awhina Marae to take part in the Powhiri Proceedings (welcome ceremony).

All participated in the Kawa (protocol) for the Te Awhina Marae which is paeke (hosts begin speaking order, then visiting speakers, and then the host speaker to close).

The speeches were followed by a waiata kanaki (embellishment song of support) from their group.

After the last speech the visitors were invited to come forward and hongi (press noses).

This is mainly done by the adults of the group and our young children were not expected to participate in the hongi.

The sacred aspect of the ceremony was brought to a conclusion through the sharing of food and drink, which is referred to as kai whakanoa (food that brings normality).

The kindergarten was fortunate to have their Motueka Rudolf Steiner School friends, teachers and parents also involved in the visit.

Following the Poroporoaki (farewell ceremony) the kindergarten children enjoyed their bus ride back to their Kindergarten at Wallace St.

A memorable day was had by everyone and we would sincerely like to express our thanks to the Te Awhina Marae.

Gone are the days of jumping up and down with pom-poms, with cheer-leading now recognised as a sport in its own right.

Competitive cheerleading combines stunting, tumbling, jumps, dance and tricks in a jampacked 2 minutes and 30 second routine according to Motueka High School’s new volunteer coach Leanne Whelan.

“Our team has been together since September 2015, and was founded by Oakley Salton, the teacher in charge of the dance department at MHS.

“In May 2016, I came on board at the recommendation of a parent acquaintance to assist the team with their stunting and tumbling elements.

Leanne has been coaching cheerleading since 2007 she said, having set up Ireland’s first competitive cheerleading club, and worked with Team Ireland in 2010/2011.

“I am a qualified cheer coach having recently achieved my Level 4 Certificates from the United States All Star Federation through the New Zealand Cheer Union.

“Oakley and I volunteer our time to coach the team of 21 girls outside of school hours.

“We are working hard to put a routine together in a short space of time and the girls are committed to long training sessions - 4/5 hours on Saturdays and Sundays.”

The team will be competing in Wellington on August 13 Leanne said, and will represent the South Island at the Ministry of Cheer competition.

“Competition will be tough as the girls will compete at Level 2, but the girls have the talent, enthusiasm, and strength to represent their commu-nity well.

If the girls do well in August, they will then move forward to compete at Nationals in Auckland in October 2016.

“We are embarking on a fundraising campaign for new uniforms for the team which will cost $90 each, not to mention t-shirts and specialised cheer shoes.

“The girls are working hard to plan a fundraiser and we are looking for assistance from the local community for any donations locals may be able to give to help the team to get to Wellington.”

Legal, safe and local is the pivotal philosopy behind this professional package

Professional. Refreshing. Prompt. Caring. A pleasure to deal with. Exceeded our expectations.

These are some of the things Shona’s clients say about her and her superior property management skills.

Safe accommodation is a pivotal philosophy for Shona’s Rentals owners, Shona and Russell Martin.

“That covers more aspects than just the obvious,” explains Shona. For example, using imported kits, Shona has started testing for methamphetamine in the rental houses she manages.

Shona has been associated with property rentals for more than 30 years and both Shona and Russell

have backgrounds in sales and market-ing. It’s a combination that works well. They started the company six years ago when Shona identified a gap in the market.

“We offer a high standard of personal care and a hands-on approach for property investors, home own-ers and tenants. It

needs to be a win-win situation for everybody involved, then everybody is happy.”

With her business covering the entire Golden Bay region, Shona believes it’s local knowledge that gives her the edge. “I’m well-known around Golden Bay and have a reputation for getting the job done quickly and fairly while keeping up to date with current law”.

Shona’s approach to business is to achieve a fair out-come for all. She has her phone switched on 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to address any issues that might crop up. Her company offers customised agreements to suit people’s needs.

Shona Martin has called Golden Bay home for the past 16 years.

If you’re moving, placing your prop-

erty on the market, are a farm cottage or holiday home owner, or just busy, we can assist you.

Russell and Shona Martin are both passionate about property and business and also own the Pohara General Store. They will soon be attending a course to learn more about methamphetamine testing in order to be better informed when it comes to making their company’s rental homes safer for tenants and offer reassurance for owners.

The core business of Shona’s Rentals is managing all types of rental properties, including short and long term tenancies – and all types of holiday accommodation. They offer appraisals, comprehensive inspections and a total package for tenants and owners.

A complete property maintenance service is part of the package, too. “Whatever needs to be done, gets done,” says Shona. This includes all types of cleaning, carpet and upholstery cleaning, lawn mowing, gardening, removal of rubbish and overall property maintenance.”

Quality teaching toolsProviding children with the best possible start in life

through high quality educational programmes that cre-ate a passion for lifelong learning, is the philosophy that underpins Nelson Tasman Kindergartens.

“It really is that simple,” emphasises Trish Casey, CEO of this not-for-profit charity.

Some 1,000 children attend the association’s 19 kin-dergartens in the Nelson Tasman area, and this provides employment for 120 teachers.

“What makes us different from all the other early childhood services is that we only employ fully qualified teachers – those who are registered with the Education Council. In NZ, up to 50% of teachers in early childhood services don’t have to be qualified. We insist that they all are,” says Trish. “That’s what makes a difference to the quality of the learning we offer.

“Teachers have a wide range of tools that they use with different children, in groups, and for those with spe-cific needs.We know that our teachers use the richness of the resources they have at their disposal.

“That is the difference provided by qualified teachers.”Trish explains that the success of the Nelson Tasman

Kindergartens is the result of successful relationships. “We focus on relationships between the children and their families, and also on building a strong relationship between children and the schools they will be moving on to, in order to manage the transition process. It’s a big milestone in every child’s life.”

The 120 teachers employed by Nelson Tasman Kindergartens are committed to their role in building pathways to sustainability while sowing the seeds of environmental practices in the minds of our children.

“We support children to become attuned to the sys-

tems that sustain life in our community and the worlds of Papatuanuku and Ranginui,” says Trish. “We understand that we are co-learners with the children and support, resource and explore possibilities alongside them.”

DID YOU KNOW?The first Kindergarten in New Zealand was estab-

lished in Dunedin in 1889 with the intention that chil-dren would have a better life through the charity work of caring citizens.

Those pioneers of early childhood education dreamed of a future where all New Zealand children would have access to a quality of life that was - at that time - the privilege of the wealthy.

Confidence and sustainability“Because we’re all unique, here at Greenwood

Kindergarten we acknowledge this uniqueness and this is reflected in our philosophy. It is tailored to the spe-cific needs of our parents and children,” explains Sandie Burn. She’s the head teacher and has been committed to teaching little learners for the past 18 years.

“We believe that children deserve a secure, caring and stimulating environment that helps them reach their full-est potential.

“Children need to feel safe in order to explore their world and try new things. We encourage children to think for themselves, make decisions, and to work towards their own solutions by working with others and express-ing their ideas and feelings. With kindergarten being mixed ages – from two to five years – we have developed an exciting age-appropriate learning programme which ensures all children have their specific learning needs met,” explains Sandie.

“Because the kindergarten teachers are fully qualified, the quality of the teaching and the safety of the learning environment is our highest priority.”

All Nelson Tasman Kindergartens’s teachers are involved in ongoing professional development which ensure they are kept up to date with current teaching practices and philosophies, and are supported by a team of professional leaders.

“We’re aware that our children are living in an ever-changing world and the future will be very different from what we know now, so it is important that all our teachers are on a continuing learning journey, too.”

A major aspect that underpins the learning for all young

children is environmental awareness. Greenwood Kindergarten has achieved the highest

award in the national Enviroschools initiative, and proud-ly displays its Green Gold Award.

Greenwood Kindergarten celebrates its success in Enviroschools which is a wonderful fit for the early child-hood setting and weaves in beautifully with the principles and strands of Te Whariki: the Ministry of Education’s early childhood curriculum.

Continues Sandie, “Our flourishing fruit and vegetable gardens give our children a wealth of learning opportuni-ties and allow them to experience the whole garden-to-table approach. The children learn how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food. Recycling and sustainability is a huge part of our kindergarten culture and we continue to improve this for the future of our children.”

Head teacher Sandie Burn and learners from Greenwood Kindergarten enjoy the winter sunshine.

Nelson Tasman Kindergartens offer the Ministry of Education’s 20 hours free Early Childhood Education (ECE) policy, and up to 30 hours free if you use your 20 hours with this organisation. For children over three years old, if you use all of the 20 hours ECE with Nelson Tasman Kindergartens, you will be offered up to 30 hours per week free. For children aged two years old, if you use all of the 20 hours ECE with this not for profit charity once your child turn three, you are entitled to up to 30 hours free per week from the time your child is two years of age.

The smart option - and it’s free!

Big resources for little learnersThe philosophy at the Laura Ingram Kindergarten in

Pah Street is to encourage children to become independ-ent learners who have the essential skills, knowledge, and dispositions to become valued members of the com-munity.

Says head teacher Gayle Parker, “We live this philoso-phy. We encourage children to be actively engaged with the curriculum and develop a genuine love of learning.

“We help them explore and understand their own learning. We want them to feel success and want to learn more. And because we’re a fair distance from central services, we’re very lucky to get equity funding which goes towards a range of resources that support the children’s learning. For example, this funding means we can afford bus trips to Nelson to attend theatre per-formances and it also supports our transition to schools programme.”

Funding also affords (qualified) teacher aides which improves the teacher-children ratio and which, in turn, increases learning outcomes.

“The team we have here work together very effec-tively,” says Gayle. “We draw people from all parts of the community and it’s important to give back, too. We have volunteers from IDEA (Intellectual Disability Empowerment in Action) working here in addition to a group of “story grannies” who read to the children once a week. Giving back includes initiatives such as fund raising for the Cancer Society and working in partnership with the Motueka Family Service Centre.

Head teacher Gayle Parker (with glasses) and col-league Leah Drummond-Holden engage some of their young charges at Laura Ingram in a variety of fun activities.

Push for pedal power

Remember Raleigh, BSA, Phillips, Empire, Royal Enfield and Coventry Eagle? You might have had one of these pushbikes when you were a kid. And whether you’re 5 or 105, getting on a two-wheeler makes one feel like a kid all over again.

Ross Savile is the proud custodian of many of these old-fashioned bikes as well as a shop full of brand new bikes.

A design engineer by trade, and a self-confessed hoarder of a variety of two-wheelers by choice – the

oldest of which is a 100 year old racing bike - Ross is thoroughly enjoying his new venture. Having established the Motueka Bike Shed just over a year ago, Ross and his wife, Sue, were inspired by the increasing popular-ity of the Great Taste Trail as well as the many cycling groups in Motueka.

Bike rentals are his specialty, and he’ll probably have exactly the right wheels whether you’re looking for a mountain bike, comfort bike or road bike.

“Cycling is a great form of exercise and it’s also an eco-friendly way to get around. There are always people with whom to discuss new routes, trails, trials and tribula-tions,” grins Ross.

And if you’re having tribulations with the working of your pushbike, electric bike or unicycle, Ross is your man. He restores and services all types of bikes, and sells a huge variety of accessories, from helmets and tubes to clothing and parts.

Ross has contracts with all the bike suppliers in New Zealand, so can get his hands on any and every part needed.

“Electric bikes have caught on as people join cycling groups and find they can’t keep up,” says Ross. “A bit of help with pedalling is often needed.

“So electric bikes have come into their own and make up a substantial portion of sales.”

Not only does Ross sell two different types – Electric Bike Hub and Avanti – he also offers excellent sales backup in that he services them, too.

Ross services and restores all types of bikes, and sells a wide variety of cycling accessories and parts – even funky bicycle bells.

Life in the limelight

Most of us have fantasised about running away and joining the circus, right? And did you do it? Of course not.

But Phoebe Guthrie-Riordon did.Today her successful business is testimony to the fact

that working as an assistant in a circus at the age of five was the right career choice. She had understand-ing parents and lots of encouragement: her father is Andre Vegas, the well-known magician and illusionist. Her mother was once his assistant and has always been “very supportive”, says Phoebe.

When she was 14, Phoebe landed her own circus contract, performing a choreographed routine with hula hoops.

Phoebe left school as soon as she could and was immediately snapped up for shows throughout New Zealand. “I learnt so much on the road,” she says. “The people I met were contortionists, jugglers and artistes from all over the world. They were an amazing bunch of people who became friends and “circus family” for life.”

Daily public performances included routines with hula hoops, cube juggling and aerial lyra (suspended hoops). If this sounds like a lot of dedication and hard work, Phoebe confirms that it is. “But it’s a lifestyle and you get used to it.”

She’s a qualified Latin and ballroom dancing teacher and took over the Motueka Pole Studio in October last year. At the time, the business offered pole and yoga classes. Phoebe added circus classes – for both children and adults - burlesque, hip-hop, and Latin and ballroom dancing classes.

Pole dancing has taken off as a popular form of exercise that offers fun and fitness. “Every woman who comes to my pole dancing class for the first time feels shy and has heaps of doubts.

“But they quickly build confidence and flexibility and

suddenly they’re really good pole dancers. Although,” she adds with a smile, “nobody here wants to be a strip-per - they just want the exercise.”

She also offers private dance lessons for couples plan-ning to wow their guests at the wedding reception.

Phoebe Guthrie-Riordan offers all kinds of dancing lessons for fun, fitness and flexibility.
