Residents & Ratepayers Association
Rita McDougall, our very capable Secretary, is on holiday in Australia. We wish her a great stay, but assure her that she is much missed.
Living in this great place assures us that there is always something of interest to do – aren’t the changes happening quickly! All the more reason for the Tasman District Council to have an overall plan for the district with level playing fields for all ratepayers. We are assured that this process is well on the way to being finalised. Just some of the occasions your committee has attended this month:
Deputy Mayor Tim King planted that Oak tree in the Domain on 1 August commemorating the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. Tim not only made a good job of the planting, he also dug the hole, and yes, there was a big frost that morning. Well done Tim.
We are very fortunate to have three encouraging Ward Councillors – Tim King, Trevor Norris and Michael Higgins, who attend most of our monthly meetings and are always available on the phone – thank you.
Our August meeting was well attended and rather energetic! Main issues discussed: Proposed subdivision at Tasman with some Tasman residents present – it must be mentioned that both Tasman and Mapua-Ruby Bay Associations work in support of one another.
Rapid growth in our areas and again, the need for that plan!
Mr Alistair Rose of Hills Community Church discussed plans for a new facility to be built on Aranui Rd and took questions and answers from the floor. We wish Mr Rose and his committee well.
The committee’s presentation to the TDC on August 15 – to once again try to secure that piece of the ex Fruitgrowers Chemical Site between Tahi St and the Mapua Channel for a waterfront space plus car parking and commercialisation. This we did and came away feeling undefeated. Council is again “reviewing the situation”, so we will keep on, just as long as you want us to.
As you know, we work for you, with often three-way communication among ratepayers, their elected committee and the TDC. We meet in the Mapua Hall at 7:30pm on the second Monday of each month, except January, and look forward to seeing you.

Moutere Hills RSA Memorial Library
We are open!!!
Doesn’t the library look wonderful? The gardens are shaping up nicely – thanks to SICON, and the new trellis work is a very attractive addition.
The sign is above the door, the RSA Roll of Honour has been erected in the foyer and we are ready for business.
On the initial opening day, our three volunteers worked unceasingly to supply the service to all our borrowers – 175 books issued and a large number returned – a similar situation the following Saturday with 131 books issued.
Many people called in to view the library and expressed their delight with the new facility. It was great to see so many children there.
Particularly pleasing was a visit from Peter Malone, as he was a leading force in promoting and supporting our application for a funding grant from the Community Trust. We owe him a great deal of thanks.
We also have had a number of new applications for membership and expect that this will continue to increase.
With this in mind, it has been decided to open the library on Thursdays from 10am to 12:30pm, beginning on Thursday 5 September.
We still have some way to go before we are completely settled. New furniture should have arrived at the end of August and depending on finances, shelving may need to be reviewed to meet future needs.
A big thank you to all who have donated goods and services to the library. The committee could not have managed without your support.
Don’t forget the Grand Opening on Saturday 28 September at 1pm, when our guest speaker will be the noted children’s author, Margaret Mahy.
Betty Higgins, President
Combined Probus Club
The club’s meeting was held on 2nd August at the Mapua Hall., with three men speaking about the Korean War .
Peter Cooper was our main speaker, describing and showing a large collection of black and white photos taken during his two-year stay in Korea. It was in 1950 that Peter was assigned to Korea by the National Publicity Studios of Wellington. He was attached to the New Zealand Field Artillery, a unit of about 1000 men. During Peter’s assignment he was able to stay with other NZ units, enabling him to get good coverage of the war and to supply reports and photos back to the NZ press.
Peter spoke of the American TV series MASH as a realistic portrayal of the Korean War. One of his photos showed the use of a NZ helicopter in transporting an injured solider to a medical field unit. He concluded his talk saying that the Korean conflict has been dubbed the “forgotten war” with no recognition or medals being awarded.
Following afternoon tea, our club member Frank Gibbison spoke of his involvement in the Korean War with the intelligence division of the NZ Army working with the NZ field artillery. Frank was involved in Korea for almost two years, working with 27 and later 28 brigade. One of his main jobs was advising the artillery gunners on setting their guns for the required targets.
Another club member, Norm Thawley, spoke about his early life involved in orchard work and as a milk supplier for Mapua. He spoke of his army training at Burnham and Waiuru before his sailing on the troop ship Ormandy to Korea. Norm described the hard winters with temperatures as low as –28deg Fahrenheit. The ground would be frozen to a metre deep. The summer was also unpleasant with high temperatures and humid conditions.
Mosquitos and German wasps added to the difficulties. Norm returned home in 1952 after 18 months service.
Are You Missing Out?
Nelson Bays Community Law Service is concerned that families may be missing out on money that is due to them. Have you had a new baby? Or, Are you working and have children 18 years or under?
If the answer is yes, to either question, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the government. It is not a benefit. Family Assistance is a scheme to help working families with children living with them who are 18 years or under.
Some people mistakenly believe you have to be on a benefit or a low income to receive it. In fact, families with incomes in excess of $60,000 could be eligible (depending on the number of children).
There are four entitlements-
Parental Tax Credit – this can be up to $1200 a year for each newborn child. It can be paid as a lump sum or fortnightly.
Family Support – (this is not Child Support) This is a payment to low to middle income-working families or families on income-tested benefits. The amount depends on your income and the number of children. For example; if you have 2 children and your income is under $36,493 you can get Family Support.
Child Tax Credit – Families could get up to $15 a week for each dependent child aged 18 and under (or as a lump sum).
Family Tax Credit – This is a top-up for working families to make sure they have at least $286 a week (after tax).So it may be worthwhile to make enquiries.
You have to apply to the IRD for Family Assistance, it is not paid automatically. For more information ring freephone 0800 227 773.
Hills Community Church
September issue — beginning of spring — life bursting from the earth which had been lying fallow — trees breaking into blossom. What a tonic to see this glorious colour and new life — lambs and calves arriving in the paddocks where Mother Nature is now providing fresh new grass in due season, where the circle of nature is on cue.
September also brings memories of that tragic event in America on Tuesday the 11th. On the Monday, folk went about their work feeling secure, on the Tuesday they were really shaken. On the Monday they may have had an argument and said harsh words to their spouse or children. On the Tuesday they wished they had just kissed them on leaving for work, or said a word of encouragement to their kids, whereas they couldn't get home quick enough to hug and comfort them. On the Monday people were arguing about having prayer at assembly in schools. On Tuesday you wouldn't find many schools where they were not praying. On Monday people were complaining about waiting six minutes in a fast food outlet. On Tuesday they waited six hours to give blood to the injured. On Monday American politicians were arguing over different policies. On Tuesday they were standing together on the steps of the Capitol singing "God Bless America".
In the grief of a nation people’s courage, kindness and love come to the fore. A tragedy can bring people together — like the terrible floods that are happening at this time in Europe — everyone pitching in to fill sandbags.
But why is our memory so short? A year later some are looking for someone to sue for some of the mistakes made in the heat of the moment — or someone to fight who may still be harbouring terrorists.
Such reactions are not for the common good. We must move on in faith. As Paul says in Hebrews 11 — “to have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.”
In the post-modern world, people only believe with their five senses what can be proved. There is another realm outside of the five senses — that is in the realm of love. How can we prove love? It is something which is not seen but it is a strong force and very real.
Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Women's Recreation Group
Early on the morning of July 19, a busload of excited ladies headed for the Rainbow Ski field. Some of us were competent skiers, some nervous "have been" skiers, some who had never skied, and then the pair of spectators along for the ride and the coffee. Arriving at the mountain, there was a morning lesson with "Dan the mountain man", which saw some find their ski-legs and some novices enjoying a new skill. The confident skiers rose to the challenges of the Rainbow, and the spectators took the chairlift for the views.
We were all envious of Jane's ride on the snowmobile when her boot disintegrated at the top of the field. The "skier-of-the-day" award had to go to Sheila — the Canadian who couldn't ski!!! (She did move to the intermediate slopes after a morning lesson). Well done everyone. Our thanks to Tasman Sport and the Mapua Tavern for funding, and to Jackie for care and enthusiasm.

Mapua School News
It was a great pleasure to join the Mapua/Ruby Bay Resident & Ratepayers Association in their crusade to the TDC last week. The group made an excellent representation to the TDC with regards the future development of the waterfront park on the toxic site.
It is important to represent the views of the many children in the community who place very high value on the waterfront and associated leisure activities. Currently the young people of the area enjoy a lifestyle unequalled in the region as they access the waterfront for fishing, swimming, boating, and generally socialising. The TDC must honour the commitment to the next generation of young people to save in perpetuity a piece of unique land. Development of the site would provide a unique facility, greatly valued by future generations.
The administration block opening was a highly successful event, enjoyed by a crowd of over 300. The spontaneous release of 200 helium balloons punctuated appropriately the end of the ceremonies that had begun with a dawn blessing at 7am. If you are interested in having a look inside, please feel free to call in during the day. We would be pleased to show off our new facility.

Mapua Boat Club
Winter is nearly over and the scallop season is well under way. Time for those of you who are boat owners to check that your safety equipment is on board and in good condition. For those with inboard or outboard motors, service those motors and make sure they are running properly before you go to sea. Don’t leave it until you launch your boat!
We are hoping to be able to keep the launching ramp at the wharf free of parked cars this season. The launching fee is only $2 so please don’t forget to pay. There was a good attendance at the Club’s AGM on August 22.
The new committee is: President, John Ward; vice– president, Colin Wishart; secretary, Ralph Cotter; treasurer, Bev Keyvar; custodian, Dennis Crawford; ommittee members, Arnie Ahnfeldt, Dennis Crawford, Murray Goss, Annette Walker and Gordon Webb. Concern was raised about the state of some of the wharf piles and lack of action by the Tasman District Council to do maintenance work.
The Club Rooms on the wharf are available for courses, meetings etc. To book or to make enquiries phone Ralph Cotter, 540-2195.
For all other enquiries contact John Ward, on 544-2752 or 025 6115149. The “Biggest Games Day” will be held Sunday 26th January 2003. Final date still to be decided.
A kids’ fishing competition and barbecue at the wharf is planned for Waitangi Day with some good prizes up for grabs!
Remember, you don’t have to be a boatie to belong to the club. If you wish to support us in our endeavours to see that the wharf remains for all to enjoy give John a call or pick up a membership application form from the Club Rooms which are open every day. Joining fee is $30 with an annual subscription of $30.
Finally, for those boaties new to the area, come and make yourself known to us and get some local knowledge. Don’t learn the hard way. Mapua channel is no benign marina!
Broadband
You asked for it...you got it! A great response to a previous notice in the Coastal News has caused the early building of a transmission site for this area. Anybody with a good view of the hills or bay should be able to get a Broadband connection now. If the take-up of this service is encouraging then another site to service central Mapua will be built.
Designed with the “serious” Internet user in mind, the small home office (SOHO), graphic designer, architect or sign writer now has the option where to set up business. Rural home owners can telecommute rather than drive to work and all of them can have a permanent connection and work online at high speed without worrying about phone lines and the costs of being online.
At present the cost of a wireless connection ranges from $70 a month plus GST. This gives companies of all sizes the option to find a High Speed connection to suit their needs. If you want to know more about a "wireless" connection then have a look at www.thepacific.net website or phone 0800 BROADBAND.

Mapua Public Hall Update
New vinyl flooring is soon to be fitted in the women's toilet, to replace the dated and patchy version in there now. The committee is also working on replacing the Pepper tree that fell over with the aid of a big wind. The Hall while newly painted does look a bit bare at the front, so plans to address this is are underway.
As mentioned previously we are holding a MONSTER GARAGE SALE at the Hall on October 12 & 13th, to raise funds for the completion of our interior 'spruce up'. All of your unwanted treasures can be brought to the Hall on the 10th - 11th October. All goods are donated to the Hall and as with our previous large garage sales, the collection available will be spectacular. We may have a limited pick up service available for larger items - details of the Garage sale will be in the October Coastal News edition. Offers of help for the day would be appreciated.

Mapua Leisure Park
As new owners of the Leisure Park, Gary Martin and Erica Ress are excited about the potential for increased tourism growth for the Mapua area. What drew them to Mapua was the breathtaking beauty of the Estuary and the beach location as well as the feeling that this was a great place. Co-ordinating with the Mapua Magic group to promote the area, they hope to increase awareness of the uniqueness of Mapua to the rest of the world.
There are no major changes planned to the park’s operation, but they do hope to increase the activities available during the shoulder seasons for tourists.
They want to give the park a more “upscale feel” by beautifying the grounds and buildings and by introducing a more integrated colour scheme. The large house on the beachfront is being renovated to provide a luxury Beach House to provide a wider range of accommodation within the township.
Other changes to the park are the introduction of a Summer Season Pass to replace the Day Visitor fee. The pass will be available from 15 October and will allow the holder to visit the Leisure Park any day they wish from 1 November 2002 to 30 April 2003, including New Year’s Eve and “Theme Night” in January.
The Summer Season Pass will cost $240 an adult and $120 a child for the six months. Shorter periods are not available.
The previous Day Visitor system will not operate, but there will still be a fee if you are visiting anyone staying in the park. Please call at the office to register as visitors.
The restaurant will open at the end of October for lunch and dinner with a new look planned. Restaurant patrons have access to the car park near the restaurant but we do ask that you are genuine diners and not using this as a means to use the park’s facilities.
A few people have asked if they may still walk through the park for access to the beach. The walkway provided by the Friends of Mapua/Ruby Bay group is the access to the beach, which is suitable only at low tide. If unable to use the walkway provided please ask at the office if you may walk through the park. Remember there is a cost to us when you use the toilets etc in passing and that we are in business for holiday makers to Mapua and not a public park or playground.
There is a problem with unleashed dogs on the beach walk being allowed to run into the park grounds. The council’s publications state that the area for dogs is on the foreshore from the seaward boundary of the Mapua Leisure Park to Chaytor Reserve Ruby Bay. Please keep your dog on the leash along the causeway and beach until you are past the Leisure Park, and note the new doggy doo bin soon to be put near the start of the walkway. We don’t want to have to apply to the TDC for further restrictions and hope that with co-operation this won’t be necessary.
We want Mapua to be an attractive destination for tourists, to have and maintain a beautiful beach and have a restful, relaxing holiday place for everyone’s enjoyment.
Mapua Mahana CWI
Our President, Jean Satherley, welcomed members and one visitor. D Furlong was acting secretary for the meeting.
At the meeting, we learnt that the coffee morning and sausage sizzle on 27th July raised $414.40 towards furnishings for the new library. This was a great result and thanks are due to our members for their efforts and also to those who donated items and attended the event. The raffle prizes were won by:
- 1st B Halse (No38)
2nd J Fortune (No 76)
3rd F Legg (No 75).Entries were submitted for the Burn Trophy and C Savage won the Eggers Cup for cookery.
FLORAL COMPETITIONS;

2nd equal M Maisey/J Satherley
A $10 voucher is to be donated this year to Mapua School for the purchase of a tree.B Halse gave the “ Thought for the Meeting” – “I went out to find a friend; there were none. I went out to be a friend and found many.”
The Rollcall of “My worst Buy” showed that we all have this problem – from uncomfortable jeans, inedible cakes, over-pricing of services for poor workmanship, and unsatisfactory appliances.
Jean Satherley reported on the recent CWI conference in Wellington, where Yvonne Primmer received her Gold Honours badge and Betty Ruth was presented with the Summer Show Cup for her painting. The Nelson Federation has many dedicated and talented members.
On the 9th of September, the CWI Spring Festival will be held at the Mapua Hall, opening at 9.30am, judging at 11am; entry will be by a gold coin donation; there will also be a raffle and a shared lunch. There will be competitions for a Scarecrow and the best Spring Hat. Entertainment by each Institute will follow the shared lunch.
On the 12th of September, we have our Mystery Outing. Please be at the Mapua Hall at 8.45am. Last year we had a very full and exciting day, so bring your camera, warm clothes, money and your smile.

Mapua Health Centre
We are greatly looking forward to our new line-up of medical staff at the centre, which has been boosted by the arrival of Elizabeth Wood. Dr Wood has moved to Mapua after working for several years in Motueka where she has had a very busy practice. She is well known for her friendly and caring manner as well as her thorough approach to medical problems.
We will now have two doctors present on most days, which will minimise delays in being seen quickly. The medical line-up will be Elizabeth Wood on Mondays and Tuesdays, Tim Ewer on Mondays to Wednesdays, Richard Thomas Wednesdays to Fridays and Sally Harris covering morning sessions on Thursdays and Fridays. We will continue to provide a full after-hours service that is now shared at weekends with the Richmond and Wakefield doctors.
A tummy bug has ben going around, especially affecting young children, and giving an illness with fever, vomiting and/or diarrhoea, and often a headache which tends to last 2-3 days and then quickly resolve. It is important to maintain fluid intake and to use an electrolyte mixture such as Gastrolyte if there is D&V. As always, be aware of symptoms of more serious disease (as noted in last month’s news) and give the health centre a call (540 2211) if you need any advice or wish to be seen.
Thanks to Sally Harris’s enthusiasm, the Saturday evening fund raiser for a defibrillator went well and provided a lot of fun and interest. We still need to find quite a bit more money to afford the life saving machine (for restarting the heart when someone has a heart attack) as the cost is around $8,500, so all donations kindly received.
Mahana School News
Mahana School students have had another busy month. The whole school enjoyed an invigorating Winter Walk along the Waimea Walkway in early August.
There were plenty of parents along for the morning and several organised a sausage sizzle and Milo drinks on the return to school. The Junior Class created a winter walk mural and the other classes wrote group poems about their experiences on the walk. Frosty, icy, cold, numb, and freezing were words frequently used in the poems! Following the frozen theme, the Year 7 and 8 group thoroughly enjoyed their annual skiing trip to Rainbow Ski-field a couple of weeks later.
Students prepared hard for the Winter Tournament and were very disappointed when wet weather cancelled it. However, a mini tournament was held later with several other small schools at Tasman School. Netball, rugby and soccer were popular team sports.
The Capital E performances in Nelson at the Theatre Royal were an enjoyable experience for students. Another occasion appreciated by parents, grandparents, other relatives and students was the Maths Day and Family Maths Challenge. Pupils were supported as they experienced a number of mathematical activities inside and outside the classrooms.
Students are busy selling School Cookies to support Home and School fundraising and the School Gala Committee have organised plenty of fun-filled events for the Gala on 20th October. The final tally from the Polar Bear Swim was $656, a super effort from the Senior Room students for their summer camp fund!

principal,

Councillor’s Report
The working party for the 'Mapua Ruby Bay Study' met on the 23rd August. The group is made up of TDC staff advisors, Mrs Wilma Tansley (Chair), Mrs Pat Perry, and Cr Michael Higgins. The purpose of the group is to review the planning provisions for this area and take them forward.
Later this year, a draft position paper will be circulated in the community for comment and it then follows a process that leads to inclusion within the Tasman Resource Management Plan. This study links Mapua Ruby Bay to the Rural 3 Plan which is well through the development process. Rural 3 takes in the area inland from Mapua.
The Mapua plan will focus more on urban development and urban issues. Mapua Ruby Bay has been a focal point of change over the past decade and it is appropriate to review the plans that exist in order to cope with these changing times.
I attended the AGM of the Mapua Ruby Bay and Moutere District Health Centre in August. A reliable and committed group meet in the interests of this centre, keep it looking nice and providing a service in community health. Over the past year it has become evident that the increase in population serviced by Mapua will lead to the need for additional medical staff. In order to provide facilities for this growth a fund has been established to facilitate this. It is the intention of this committee to quietly build this fund over time.
An issue coming up is the possible adoption of the Single Transferable Vote system for the next Local Body Election. The Tasman District Council is divided on the issue and the matter is expected to fall back to the community to decide. Information regarding this issue will be widely promoted throughout New Zealand over the next few months and, as a supporter of STV, I urge voters to consider adopting this method.
Cr Michael Higgins
Real Estate office to open
My name is Colin Wilson. Twelve months ago my wife, Christine and I purchased the business of Richmond First National. Since that time the company has grown from strength to strength. One of these strengths has been the support we have received from the Mapua community, which we have acknowledged by giving support back to the community. In 2001 we were the major sponsors of the Mapua Easter Fair, and we have supported a soccer team, the scout group Jamboree trip, and a number of smaller groups in various ways.
Now we have recognised the importance of Mapua, along with having two agents resident Mapuvians in Frances Gilbertson and Murray Torrens, we are opening an office in Mapua, in the Mall, totally manned even with its own web address. Rather than have real estate decisions made by real estate people who are not working and living in the area - now our resident real estate people will be working in the area as well.
In opening our office in Mapua we recognise the community deserves some real service. We are here now and we should be used. The saying locally owned is now a real part of the Mapua community. Money earned in Mapua is spent in Mapua. Our office is fully equipped so if anyone needs secretarial or photocopy work done we can also help. The invitation is there to everyone to call in, say hi and have a look around.
Tessa Mae’s with Attitude
Tessa Mae’s has been open since the 10th of May. To say that Mapua has a special magic is an understatement. The public response to our opening has been wonderful.
People from Nelson to Takaka have come to shop and share the magic of Mapua. The owners of the Mall at Mapua have been very positive to all our needs, which makes a working day a pleasure
.There are some changes about to happen at Tessa Mae’s over the next four weeks, with new products that will make your mouth water. So keep your eyes open to more attitude.
Glenys and John Osmond thank you for your support and wish all the business people in Mapua every success.
Coastal News’ January edition
Our local newsletter has not been published before in January, because everyone is in Summer mood, and no clubs and organisation reports. However, with the ever increasing numbers of visitors, this January we intend to publish a Visitors’ Guide available via the usual display boxes.
We ask all accommodation providers to give short details of what they offer so we can create a list. The list will refer to an included location map so they can be easily found. The same goes for all services.
We’ll also publish a map of present walkways.
There will be no charge for inclusion in the Guide, but if contributors wish, they may make a donation to help defray costs. All entries should be addressed: Visitors’ Guide, Coastal News, c/- Postal Centre, Mapua.
