The passionate eight-year local formed the Golden Bay Women’s Mountain-biking and Running Group after competing in the Spring Challenge last year. That was when she fell in love with mountain-biking. “We have awesome places to ride in the Bay. I realised I just wanted to ride my bike all year,” Wendy laughed. The purpose of the group is to be an accessible way for local women of all ages and abilities to link up and ride together, enabling those smaller connections. “It can be a challenge to find people of similar ability to ride with if you don’t have a large network.” More than 90 women have joined the group. “It’s a sport that women are interested in trying out, and it’s easy to feel intimidated by joining others who we feel may be faster or fitter.” Wendy explained that by joining the group one can see that there are many other women in exactly the same situation. “No one is left behind. You don’t have to be a certain type of mountain-biker; it’s just getting out there and having a go.” Wendy wants to emphasise that the group is community-driven. “I feel like people think it’s my group, but it’s totally not. I do my best to encourage women to create events and not feel that they have to be skilled. I want to see more women out there and more weekly rides happening for all abilities.” Group activities have increased over the Wendy Davies, founder of Golden Bay Women’s Mountain-biking and Running Group.

Mandy Richards and four other experienced women also held two skill sessions, coaching beginner and intermediate riders in the week of 13 March. Mandy, a mountain-biker for over 20 years, said it was a no-brainer to help out with the skill courses when Wendy asked her. “It’s hugely inspiring and such a buzz to see women in a really supportive environment going out and having fun.” There are plans to host more skill courses in the future. Search for the group on Facebook or contact Wendy at [email protected] for more information. “There’s no experience required to join this group, just a bike and a helmet,” said Wendy. “Anyone can jump on a bike and ride it if they want to.” Tullia Wilson Rec centre partly opened for sports groups flightseeing tours just stunning ... Golden Bay Air goldenbayair.co.nz 0800 588 885 gift vouchers available Scheduled • Scenic • Charter THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 24 MARCH 2017 In the face of concerns that Golden Bay sports groups wouldn’t be able to use the new recreation centre due to the grandstand court case, council has opened part of the building. On Monday 20 March, Tasman District Council issued a partial Certificate of Public Use (CPU) for the recreation centre. Sports clubs can now access parts of the building. In a statement released on Monday, council said they can’t issue a full CPU as all the car parks required by the building consent under the Tasman Resource Management plan are not available. The grandstand occupies some of the proposed car parking. Council said the partial CPU would allow a portion of the Centre to open, reflecting the proportion of car parks available. It is concerned about lack of parking in the area, which it says will lead to congestion at the Centre. The partial CPU allows access to the toilets, changing rooms and the squash courts. The rest of the centre, including the kitchen, bar, function room, community room, and stadium will remain closed until a permanent CPU is issued. The Golden Bay Grand Stand Community Trust has taken the council and Heritage New Zealand to the Environment Court over the proposed removal of the grandstand. Until the court case is resolved, the council said it cannot comply with the parking requirements. An Environment Court decision is expected within six to eight weeks. Council said the court case has had a flowon effect on the whole area, preventing the use of the squash courts and limiting the use of the fields by local sports clubs. With no other car parking available and the winter season fast approaching, council has been looking at a compromise that would allow sports clubs to operate. Earlier, the parking issue for the Golden Bay A&P show was solved by a local farmer providing access to a paddock, while at the Gala Dinner, cars were parked on the rugby field, they said. Last Tuesday, at the Golden Bay Community Board meeting, TDC councillor Paul Sangster outlined the consequences of further delays in opening the facility. “The squash club can’t play there; the rugby club can’t put home games on and netball has cancelled their registration. Local groups are going to sign up over the Hill.” In response to council’s move to issue the partial CPU he said “It’s absolute nonsense. It’s really quite sad. The building can be opened. “They’re trying to get the public to go against Jill [Pearson] so that she’ll drop the court case and let them demolish the grandstand. At the end of the day we’re all suffering. Who’s going to pay the bills if groups don’t use the rec centre because we have no certainty for home games?” Mayor Kempthorne responded: “Until the outcome of the court case is known the full facility is not available for use. In issuing the partial CPU the council has provided certainty for the sports clubs using the fields that the necessary facilities, while limited, will be available for use. We, as with any applicant for a building consent, have to abide by the rules and to speculate beyond that reason is not warranted or useful at this stage.” President of the Golden Bay Football Club, Adge Tucker, said they had been struggling with the prospect of a delayed opening while completion of the recreation centre is so “tantalisingly close”. He said it was great that the CPU had been issued, especially given that most of the club is made up of children.

Visiting guest conductor Daniel Mead, from Nelson, helped the band perfect eight new pieces of music between Friday night and Sunday morning this past weekend. But it was not all work. Anatoki Salmon hosted the group for dinner on Saturday night, and eight band members overnighted at Happisams Lodge and in private caravans, accompanied by “fabulous“ food, campfires, cards and all-night yarning. Band member and camp organiser Nick Farr felt the weekend was an outstanding success. He said that the lodge upgrade and new facilities, and the general hospitality of the community was outstanding, and that the bonus of the weekend was learning so much new material, all to become part of the famous Takaka Citizens’ Band repertoire. On Sunday afternoon, the band presented a community concert to showcase their new music. Anita Peters Right: An overview of the band camp community concert at Happisam Lodge in the Anatoki Valley. REC PARK CENTRE Continued from page 1... “The sooner things could be fully sorted out the better. It’s still regrettable to have the shadow of conflict hanging over what will hopefully become the vision of what everyone’s been working towards.” Gary Balck, the president of the Golden Bay Squash Club, said he was “ecstatic” to hear of the CPU, though he still regarded it as “a bit of a cop out.” He said he was “stoked” to hear they could use the courts, as their competitive season starts soon and the club had been asking council to move forward. “We’ve been buzzing about the new rec centre for years. They opened it and then they had to close it. We got one Brain overloading with digital dilemmas? day of squash in. That was gutting.” Though, it was, he said, “a whole lot better than nothing.” Golden Bay Grand Stand Community Trust trustee Jill Pearson said it was “absolutely fabulous” that the sports groups could use the facilities. “It’s never been rec centre versus the grandstand; the two can co-exist. It’s always been ‘hang on, there’s no elevated seating in this new facility and look what we already have,” she said. “From the information on the website the CPU is about ensuring an unfinished building is safe. I don’t understand how car parking can affect the safety of people in the building,” she added.

Photo: Submitted. DOC, iwi, Project Jonah and local volunteers were confronted by a record number of stranded whales. Beach clean-ups regularly remove small items of rubbish from Golden Bay’s foreshore, but how does a community deal with hundreds of dead pilot whales? That was the question that Department of Conservation (DOC) Takaka operations manager Andrew Lamason says he faced after February’s record-breaking mass stranding (GBW, 17 February). “We ended up with 220 carcasses to deal with.” Ironically, the location of the stranding is helpful when it comes to coping with the fallout; Andrew says that the deserted expanse of the Farewell Spit nature reserve provides disposal options unthinkable in any other part of the Bay. Those options include simply leaving the carcasses close to the high tide mark, a solution that has some merit, according to Andrew. “The intertidal zone encompasses two ecosystems – marine and terrestrial – that between them clean up pretty efficiently.” One problem is that dead beached whales don’t tend to stay where they strand. Consequently, carcasses need to be tethered, or contained, or moved well above the splash zone. “We have tried tying up whales near the high tide mark, but ended up with lots of tangled rope.” DOC has considered enclosing the recent strandings. “We thought about putting a fence up but we need to get past, and it was in the public access area, so that was ruled out.” In spite of best efforts, there were some escapees, Andrew said. “One ended up on Tahunanui Beach and there is still one in the lagoon at Puponga.” In the end, DOC resorted to the tried and tested method of moving the carcasses to the dunes at the back of the beach. The operation was simpler than anticipated, says Andrew. “Sollys came down with two diggers and two dumpers and GOLDEN BAY Subdivisions – Boundary Location Topographical Plans Dave Gowland Ph 5258178; 021 2601610 email [email protected] Photo: Jo Richards. moved the lot in one tide.” The cultural significance of whales to iwi means that the creatures have to be handled with sensitivity throughout, and Andrew says that DOC works closely with manawhenua to ensure this happens. “We have a very strong understanding with iwi. People from Ngati Tama came from Nelson to perform a karakia. There’s regionwide support from iwi.” Kaumata John Ward-Holmes praised DOC’s efforts and approach. “They managed it very well. They liaised with us during the whole process; we were in contact with them all the time.” Respecting iwi’s spiritual connection with the animals also means that scientific researchers have to follow strict protocols, says Andrew. “Massey University took 20 dorsal fins to test for radio-tracker adhesion. But when they finish their research, the fins will be returned to be buried with the carcasses.” The whales’ bodies will take a long time to fully decompose in the duneland environment. “Decay may take years because there is such a heavy oil content – it’s like dumping a whole lot of crude oil.” But Andrew says the public shouldn’t be affected. “They were moved up to Stockyard Point where there are no wetlands or significant vegetation.” The sheer number of whales that came ashore in February overwhelmed the combined resources of DOC, iwi, Project Jonah and public volunteers. Andrew says that lessons were learned from the biggest refloat ever. “We could have done better initially, but the scale pushed us to our limits; we didn’t get it right on the first day so we ended up with not enough experienced people for the second shift. We will learn from this.” Jo Richards TUMEKE LOGGING WAYNE SOLLY Forest & woodlot harvesting Hauler & ground-based bush-rigged excavator Celebrated singer-songwriter Moana Maniapoto is joined by her sister Trina, Pitch Black’s Paddy Free and Karlos Tunks Saunders in a heartfelt tribute to “moana”the ocean – in My Name is Moana. In 2016, Art Laureate Moana was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame. She and Paddy Free have just returned from performing concerts 800km inside the Arctic Circle. The pair is now recording for Moana’s sixth album ONO, which features collaborations with six other women from different nations. Over the decades, Moana and Tribe have played in great cities like Venice, Shanghai, Istanbul and Moscow, in rainforests, castles, clubs and even the Sydney Opera House twice. In this tour, Moana combines the art of songwriting with storytelling to focus on the fundamental relationship that we all have with moana – the ocean. With plenty of song, lots of harmonies and a few tall tales, it promises to be an intimate, entertaining and compelling night. “Reaching back to her musical and cultural roots, Moana crafts songs destined to get feet moving, hearts feeling and minds thinking.” Wednesday 12 April, Mussel Inn.

We are looking for information about where the Takaka Public Library was located between 1930 (when we believe it was located in the small building where the Pioneer Memorial now is) and 1947 when it opened in the front office of the council building. We are also after a photograph of either what is now the Organic Shop or what is now Soul Shoes. We have two plaques ready to go up on these buildings but only one photograph between the two. The buildings were erected sometime after 1914 and the earliest photograph we can find would be ideal. Please, if you can help with either of these subjects, contact me on 525 8086. Sally Gaffney, Heritage Golden Bay Takaka FLAG vs the public This whole Takaka FLAG fiasco boils down to a simple point of contention — the public obviously is not convinced that a dozen local farmers’ desire to increase their irrigation, is sufficient reason for putting internationally significant Te Waikoropupu Springs at any risk whatsoever. Those irrigators on the waiting list (who already have substantial water takes) will simply have to invest in water storage, as other, more responsible, civic-minded, and forward-looking farmers have already done in the Bay. FLAG’s and Tasman District Council’s irritating and ongoing pretence that the public must accept increased water allocations in order for FLAG to put into place longoverdue and necessary cease-take rules, is shameful. TDC and FLAG are insulting the public’s intelligence and trying our patience, and we don’t much appreciate that, considering that the public is forced to fund this FLAG fiasco through our tax dollars. Gina Wilson A response to TDC What the nameless TDC bureaucrat should have said last week in response to the many letters stating the community’s opposition to FLAG’s decisions, was that the public’s wishes were heard loudly and clearly and that FLAG would undoubtedly be making some major changes in their final report, to reflect the valid critiques of the community and the independent, outside experts. Instead, TDC predictably pulls out its trite, pro forma recitation about how FLAG is really protecting Te Waikoropupū Springs. Oh, sure. This “protection” includes allowing nitrate levels to increase and the visibility levels to decrease. The approximately 71 per cent increase in water allocations from the catchment is sloughed off as “some extra water allocation” with TDC’s convoluted attempt to show that the 71 per cent increase isn’t all that significant. Right. Finally we were lectured about how FLAG empowers the community. Really? We were kept out of the meetings for over 2½ years, and many of the notes are still unavailable (the most controversial meetings). We were told that FLAG’s viewpoints were “remarkably similar to those of the community,” which does not explain the overwhelming opposition to FLAG’s decisions that was so dramatically captured by Jo Richards’ photo in The GB Weekly (17 March). FLAG could easily require the cease-takes they are touting, without risk to the springs by increased water allocations, but it is rather obvious that TDC, its “science” partner DairyNZ, and FLAG have an agenda that goes against the community’s wishes. The photo says it all. Craig Wilson FLAG and farming John Lee asked if dairying is the most efficient use for the land? No it is not because in this climate and the Takaka valleys it would be much better to grow cash-crops. From rice to sunflower, wheat, oats, rye and even certain varieties of soy would grow— as well as potatoes, hemp, flax, sugar-beet etc and of course many different fruit and nuts. If that would be done organically, with our own Golden Bay organic/dynamic farm co-operative to market the 4 produce, then farmers of this valley would make more profit. This way would also benefit their land, environment, water and the people, by eating organic. However, the farmer would do themselves and us a big favour if they would understand and change. It would be great. Ursus - Black Bear FLAG and TDC Once more another example that we would be much better off having our own Golden Bay County Council back and not these experts from over the Hill who are treating us as their colony to exploit us and the environment. Spending a lot of our rates, many for their bureaucracy and manipulation, instead of having a real and proper democratic consultation and best decision-making process where the locals find for themselves the best solution for Golden Bay. We could do so much better and cheaper, with non-bureaucracy from TDC. Ursus - Black Bear Kaitiaki See now the eagle circle high Above the ancient springs Who knows the hand that brings her here? As loud her cry does ring Above the waters, she protects This guardian of old Te Pouākai is her given name & dark the truth she holds What man forgets, & thus neglects He dooms to fall & die The ecosystems of our land They join her warning cry She calls to us; you must, oh must Save pure Waikoropupū As kaitiaki of the land Be clear & straight & true I watch her now, in visions eye She’s high above the mist These springs so precious in her sight She guards & will assist Te Pouākai (the Haast Eagle) once inhabited the South Island of New Zealand. It is the largest eagle ever known to have existed. It fed on moas and became extinct about the time moas were hunted to extinction (600 years ago). The female was the largest of the pair. Kaitiaki is the Māori word for guardian. Kevin Moran Save Our Springs In my letter of 30 December 2016, I undertook to initiate the Save Our Springs campaign. Since then I have done my best to raise awareness of the threat to Te Waikoropupū Springs from increased irrigation proposals by TDC and to unite the community under one banner in its defence. Our campaign has had great success, building a strong membership, and helping generate 165 responses to the TDC FLAG Summary Report and an attendance of around 400 at the Open Day. Our issue now has the attention of the whole nation, and Greenpeace has also come to our aid. Our community has sent a clear message to the FLAG that its current reckless proposal is against its will. However, there is still much work to be done before we can be sure that most TDC councillors will act in the public interest and keep nitrate pollution and river flows well within safe limits. To do this, we must build membership quickly over the Hill in Tasman to influence them, and demand from the Mayor that FLAG’s recommendations pass a public vote. My initiation work is done, and regrettably I cannot continue in a leadership role. I must now leave for England, although I will continue to support you from afar as best I can. Somebody local must quickly take up our banner and lead us. To apply, or simply join us, please email saveoursprings@ yahoo.com. I bid you farewell until I return home again. Steve Penny so powerful, so respectful, respectful of the nature, which naturally nurtures.

Did the 1080 kill them? Stu Percival Recreation Park Let’s assume for planning purposes that the ratio of car parks to recreation park users (including spectators of course) is one car park: four users. Right now there are at least 190 car parks already on-site, not counting the 120 parks on the A&P Association land. 190 x 4 = 760. It is unusual to have an event or events involving more than 760 people at one time. An obvious exception is the A&P Show which has an alternative traffic management plan. Come on TDC, you’ve already got the accessible car parks in a great position right next to the main entrance. Let us all use the NBS stadium and the function room, as well as the squash courts and changing rooms — or provide a plausible reason for not doing so. What is the building work affecting the use of the stadium and function room? Hazel Pearson Response from Tasman District Council: There is currently sufficient car parking on-site to meet the requirements of the building consent and the Tasman Resource Management Plan to enable the toilet and changing facilities and the squash courts in the new Rec Park Centre to be used, but there is insufficient car parking on-site to enable the whole complex to be used.

Submitted STOP! demonstrations Schoolchildren will receive a vivid demonstration of why the road is not a playground – and grown-ups will be reminded to slow down – during stopping distance demonstrations throughout Tasman District in April. Everyone is welcome to join Takaka Primary School watching the demonstrations, which show how long it takes for a car to stop when travelling at different speeds. Tasman District Council Road Safety Co-ordinator Krista Hobday says: “The demonstrations show that our ‘people’ (which are cardboard cut-outs) have no chance if a car is travelling at 60kmph when the driver sees them and begins to brake. That’s important for the children to realise the danger an approaching car can pose to them. “For grown-ups, it’s also a sobering way to show the damage they could do to a child if they are travelling too fast and need to stop quickly. At 60kmph there’s just no way they can stop in time to avoid injuring or killing someone. At 40kmph, however, the car is able to stop in time – and that’s why we encourage motorists to slow down, particularly around schools.” Takaka Primary School, Tuesday 4 April, 9.10am10.55am.

Local Golden Bay performers are appearing with two shows from our region highlighted on the festival programme. The festival, which runs from 29 April until 7 May, has become a mainstay of the Nelson performing arts scene and this year features performances by actors from as far afield as South Africa and Australia. Nelson Fringe Festival Director Laura Irish says, “We are excited to be welcoming such a wide range of local talent to the festival. Golden Bay really does punch above its weight in terms of artistic output, and we’re anticipating that the community will be turning out in force to support their homegrown talent. We’re sure that Golden Bay residents will be snapping up our $12 tickets; they’re available online.” The two shows couldn’t be more different. Evolution Revolution, a show being put on by local youth, involves physical theatre and uses Māori mythology to depict humankind’s evolution from the beginning of time and space. In contrast, Solitude - The Secret Life of Annie Chaffey, performed by Martine Baanvinger of Takaka’s DramaLab, tells the story of Anne Chaffey, who in 1913 entered the remote mountains of Kahurangi National Park to live a hidden life with her lover Henry Chaffey. Martine Baanvinger says of her show, “It’s an old story from a new perspective. We’re offering you a peek inside Asbestos Cottage where Annie lived a life of solitude ... where Queen Vicky and Aunt Daisy come to the rescue ... where jam and scones are served in Victorian dresses and the gun is always within reach. Bang! Woodhen for dinner.” For more information about the Nelson Fringe Festival: www.nelsonfringe.co.nz. To purchase tickets: www. eventfinda.co.nz. Tickets are available now. Submitted THANK YOU.

THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 24 MARCH 2017 Collingwood shows promise in pre-season friendly Not too much to ponder: Collingwood coach Graeme Miller is happy with the team’s first outing of the season. Photo: Jo Richards. Uneven match: Collingwood’s Stacey Forbes tries to hold off one of Nelson’s heavyweights. Photo: Jo Richards. Collingwood’s rugby champions gave their home supporters something to cheer about in last Saturday’s preseason friendly. The hosts used the game as an opportunity to test their match fitness against a strong Nelson side before beginning the defence of their Senior B title. Despite his team’s defeat, Collingwood coach Graeme Miller was encouraged by what he saw. “If we continue to play in the same style we will be competitive.” There was plenty of heat in this high-tempo skirmish; with the temperature hovering around 25°C, conditions were the polar opposite of those at last year’s midwinter mud-battle that saw Collingwood crowned champions. Maybe the soiled shirts and shorts from that epic final proved impossible to clean, or perhaps they were framed and are now hanging in hallways up and down the Aorere Valley; whatever the explanation, the old kit has been replaced by a brand new black and gold stripe, courtesy of sponsors Westhaven Marketing and Southfuels. The game was played at a searing pace with frequent attacking runs and plenty of crunching tackles. The Nelson team was billed as a blend of their A and B squads, but it was more A- than B+, thanks to some very accomplished young players who passed the ball quickly and accurately and ran with speed and penetration. The visitors also had a distinct mass advantage, especially in the front row; two of the super-heavyweight battering-ram forwards could only be halted by a co-ordinated group tackle. It was like watching a pack of coyotes trying to bring down a buffalo. Given that many of the Nelson side normally play in a higher division, Collingwood could be forgiven for failing to come out on top, but the underdogs almost took the lead; with five minutes on the clock, the home side was awarded a penalty – a just reward for their positive play. It was the first of many such infringements called – a consequence of a recent rule-change regarding the interpretation of “high” tackles. Collingwood failed to convert the early chance but continued to pressure the opposition and occupy their territory. It took a further 10 minutes before the away side fully ventured into the Collingwood half, but a lightningquick attack involving several slick passes and some fancy footwork ended with the visitors scoring a try under the posts. A carbon copy followed some five minutes later but, uncowed, Collingwood replied almost immediately with one of their own. The score-line escalated rapidly; Nelson added a further five points to their tally with a wonderful sweeping move straight out of a 40-yard scrum, but it was tit-for-tat as the home side popped the ball down between the opposition posts to make the half-time score something like 12-21 (as no official score was being kept). When play resumed, it was clear that the visitors had replaced some of their A-team stars with lesser lights from the B side. The changes evened up the contest and there was little addition to the score, which ended at 12-24. It seemed that the heat had finally got to everyone on the pitch. Speaking after the match, Graeme was happy to take the positives. “We tackled well; they had a lot of ball and they ran at us, but we stopped them before they got too much momentum. Our defence was pretty sound – they kept talking to each other.” The coach is optimistic about the challenge ahead and is pleased to have a healthy pool of players. “We’ve got a squad of 23 this year. We’ve lost some, but two young Takaka players have joined us.” Another reason to be cheerful, he says, is the back-room support the team receives from physios and personal trainers. “We’ve got extra help with Aaron and Michelle [PhysEx] and Renee [Bay Fitness]. We’ve already had seven weeks’ strength training with Renee.” Graeme believes Collingwood’s rivals will be looking to get one over the champions, but he is confident early home advantage will help his team. “You become a bit of a target for other teams trying to tip us over, but we’ve got two home games in the first round – that’s a good start.” Jo Richards PUMPS Sales and Service Ph 525 9482 13 Buxton Lane, Takaka (Corner of Motupipi St & Buxton Lane) THE GB WEEKLY, FRIDAY 24 MARCH 2017 7 BLINDS W I NN DD OOWW AP ES DR W I FURNISHINGS FURNISHINGS BLINDS AP ES DRPES DRA BLINDS CO M E AN D SE E RO BY N FO R A FR EE M EA SU RE AN D QU OT E BLINDS COM E AND SEE ROB YN E D FREAN COAME FOR E BYN SUR MEA RO SEE AND QUO TE FRE E FO R A ME ASU RE AN D QU OT E MOTUEKA 23 Old Wharf Road, Motueka t: 03 528 7530 or 0800 528 753 www.flooringxtra.co.nz [email protected] 23 Old Wharf Road, Motueka t: Road, 03 528 7530 or 0800 MOTUEKA 528 753 23 Old Wharf Motueka t: 03 528 7530 or 0800 528 753 www.flooringxtra.co.nz www.flooringxtra.co.nz [email protected] [email protected] MOTUEKA Cabins - powered and non-powered camping Phone 524 8308 Camp Shop 8am to 8pm Newspapers ● Ice ● Bread ● Milk ● Ice-creams....etc KEVIN HEBBERD MOTORCYCLES & MECHANICAL ONE STOP SHOP Tyres, Vehicle WOF, Services, Repairs, Parts & Accessories 03 525 8233 Golden Bay Landscaping BOBCAT • GRADER • TRUCK Lawn prep Driveways and tracks Earth moving and landscaping Site and section clearing/levelling Choristers CO M E AN D invited to join Carnegie SE E RO BY N FR EE FO R Acommemoration Hall concert RE SU M EA Two members of the Golden Bay Choir, Nigel Mountfort and Robin Keown, have recently returned from a lifetime highlight— performing with the Nelson Civic Choir at Carnegie Hall in New York. On 15 January they sang in a moving performance commemorating the 1966 Welsh mining disaster of Aberfan, when a mountain of mine waste engulfed a primary school and killed 116 children and 28 adults. The organisers of Distinguished Concerts International New York’s (DCINY) annual event had previously accepted the choir from a video audition made last year in Nelson singing the controversial piece The Armed Man, composed by Welshman Karl Jenkins. “The composer had heard our rendition of the work and was very impressed,” says Robin. “Actually, the Nelson Civic Choir was the only choir in New Zealand to go,” adds Nigel. This year the DCINY annual concert featured the music of this world-renowned modern choral composer, who was commissioned to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of the Aberfan tragedy. The Carnegie Hall performance of the resulting composition,Cantata Memoria: For the Children, was the first outside Wales and was sung in nine different languages. All of it had to be learned by heart. “It was challenging,” admits Robin. The composition was presented in two distinct sections. The first part, the Requiem, dealt with the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and the second, Cantata Memoria conveyed an uplifting message of hope, light and celebration of childhood. A full orchestra accompanied 250 singers from all over the world. Both works also featured a film coinciding with the AN D QU OT E MOTUEKA Golden Bay choristers Nigel Mountfort and Robin Keown with mementoes of their trip to New York. Nigel’s bag asks “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”; the reverse side states “Practice Practice Practice”. Photo: Anita Peters. music. Footage of the tiny coffins at the funerals were accompanied by one parent’s bitter denouncement: “Buried alive by the National Coal Board.” “It’s a highly emotional piece,” says Nigel. “The audience were in tears. They gave us a standing ovation at the end.” Robin felt the power of being immersed in so many different languages, particularly that of the Welsh Choir. The performance received rave reviews for the choirs’ virtuosity and the overwhelming audience response. “It had that sense of hope and it ended on a theme of light,” says Robin. “So it was actually uplifting even though it was so sad.” Both singers agreed the composer had a gift for depicting tragic events but also for the ability to lift spirits through his music. The experience continues to resonate for them both, particularly in relation to similar tragedies such as Christchurch’s earthquake. Robin also visited the 9/11 Ground Zero whilst in New York. “It was poignant and very sobering,” she says. “Loss is a universal thing, and adjusting to loss.

In mid-October the choir will perform this work again in the newly refurbished Nelson School of Music, followed by another performance at the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington, hosted by the DCINY, with hopes the composer might also attend. “Music and singing with other people is an uplifting experience, and it can actually get people through their feeling of sadness,” says Nigel. “The waves of the emotions of the music — it’s therapy, it’s very healing. We’d like to make an invitation to other people to share that and come and join our choir.” “We are not auditioned,” says Robin. “We just have a love of music in the choral tradition. There are no other requirements.” “And a little bit of a commitment,” laughs Nigel.
