Residents & Ratepayers Association
What a wonderful summer we are having. The lack of rain is a concern, but hopefully we’ll receive a respite soon.
At this point I would like to give a big welcome on behalf of our committee, to all new residents who are making a fresh life here in Mapua/Ruby Bay. It isn’t easy sometimes to make contact with new neighbours, some people have come from overseas, and all parts of New Zealand. There are children starting new schools, busy working parents, and others just finding their way in a different environment.
We welcome you, and would like to introduce our committee members:- Bill Hamlen-Williams (vice chair), John Jackson (treas), Pat Perry, Annette Walker, Hugh Gordon, Andrew Earlam, Brian Say, Bruce Fraser, Hanne Bjorklund, Noreen Thomas, Dennis Blackman-Stevens, who are working very hard to keep the character and ambience of Mapua Village and environs intact.
How? We work with the Councillors and Staff of the Tasman District Council on issues that residents may bring to our Monthly meeting at the Mapua Hall every 2nd Monday at 7.30pm. If required, these issues are presented to council for discussion.
Our policy from the start has been one of friendly open debate, a good sense of humour when required, to make everyone welcome, and to give those who have concerns, the knowledge that we will do our best to assist them. I have always stressed that “unity is paramount” and this has worked very well for us.
For three years the Ratepayers committee have worked on proposals for an overall plan for this fast developing area. We presented a concept plan to Council, into which residents had input, for development of the now defunct Fruitgrowers Chemical site at the Mapua Wharf, after decontamination is completed. Since then TDC has also been working with Kobus Mentz an urban developer from Auckland who put together another very attractive optional concept, and at present this is open for response by residents.
Where to now? We are working with delegated people on many issues, and will continue to do so, but our immediate objective is to acquire the Waterfront site for the “good of the people”. We have only one chance to save this for our future enjoyment and recreation, and sincerely encourage all newcomers to support the community and committee in their efforts.
If you would like to make contact through our association we would love to hear from you. Ring Wilma Tansley (chair) 540 2380, or Rita McDougall (sec) 540 3355 any time.
Next meeting 10th March 7.30pm at the Hall.

FCC Site Clean-Up
Update and Meeting On 10 March
If you have been near the site in the last month you will have noticed that there has been plenty of activity, and further running of the MCD treatment plant in another trial. This trial was aimed at testing vibration from the MCD ballmill.
We shifted the MCD ballmill a bit closer to Tahi St on a new concrete foundation. In the week of 17 February we ran the plant each day and measured the vibration to check how well the new foundation and other vibration suppression measures were working. At the time of writing this article we have not yet analysed all the data we recorded using the seismograph equipment. However the project team kept in close contact with the neighbours of the site and visited the nearby properties on a regular basis, and it appears that the vibration has been substantially reduced to what we hope are acceptable levels.
We are now doing the final check of what further work needs to be done to the treatment plant, and confirming the last information to complete the resource consent application for the full site clean-up works, but we are confident that that will go ahead quickly from now on. We will lodge the consent application as soon as possible, hopefully within the next few weeks.
We will be at the next meeting of the Ratepayers Association at 7.30pm on 10 March at the Mapua Hall, and will provide an update of the results, how we intend to manage the clean-up and control the effects, and update you on the consent application process.
If anyone has any queries or concerns, contact Sally Marx on the freephone 0800 FCCSITE (0800 322 748).

Mapua/Mahana CWI
Members met at Grossis Point for a picnic and our AGM on the 13th February on a beautiful day. Jean Satherley, retiring President, welcomed Yvonne Primmer and a visitor. Reports were read from the President, Secretary and Treasurer, the Garden Circle Convenor and Craft Group organisers. A letter of thanks and several phone calls following distribution of previously donated Christmas fare were received. Subscriptions and used stamps were collected.
Our help on three days at Richmond Mall, when Stars of Remembrance were placed on Christmas trees, was appreciated and hopefully this will become an annual event. Over $850 was raised and donated to the Nelson Hospice.
Netta Perry has now completed her ninth suitcase of knitted items for the Hospice shop - congratulations, Netta!
Two members, Colleen Savage and Judi Berthelson are about to leave Mapua; their willing help and enthusiasm over recent years will be greatly missed. We wish them well for the future.
Janice Higgs, our Secretary, presented Jean Satherley with a delightful gift on behalf of all members, and thanked her for her many years of CWI service in Mapua/Mahana. Jean presented Frida Salmond with her 50 Year Service badge and congratulated Netta Perry for her 60 year membership. At present, no badge is available to mark this achievement; something that National Federation may need to recognise!
A committee for the year 2003 was formed with all members agreeing to take on various tasks so that the workload will be spread more evenly. Family commitments, seasonal work, medical ailments and vacations mean that attendances at meetings fluctuate and for these reasons, responsibilities are to be shared amongst members and decisions will be made by majority vote. We welcome new members who no doubt would enjoy having active input to this new regime. Contact may be made with the Publicity Officer Barbara Halse on 5403 901.
The following trophies were presented by Jean Satherley:-
Moutere Stores Trophy for the most points: Barbara Halse
Perry Rosebowl most points for flowers: Hilda Johnson
Newman Trophy for baking; Barbara Halse
Avalon Cup for handiwork: Brenda MathewsOur next meeting is to be at the home of Netta Perry, 71b Aranui Road, Mapua at 1:15pm on the 13th March 2003. We will have the usual Sales Table and afternoon tea. Again, if you are a new resident of Mapua, Ruby Bay or Mahana, we invite you to join us.
Barbara Halse - Publicity Officer
Mapua Public Hall
The committee now urgently need some new members at our AGM in April (or sooner). We are losing at least 4 long serving people and need some young blood to replace the worn out ones. There are lots of new people in the community now, so here is a chance to do a bit for your community in a relaxed and easy going committee. Contact Mike Shirer (ph 540 2698) to discuss what is involved.
A further reminder to users of the Hall that while the booking book is gratefully held at Perry's Auto Services, they are too busy to take phone bookings. Please call in there and ask for the Hall booking book in person. Please put all your contact details including your address and phone number when you book.
We will soon be planting a replacement tree at the corner of the Hall, to replace the old Pepper Tree. We have topsoil, rocks and water laid on, all we need now is the hole and a tree Snookie. We would also like to re gravel the side parking area, but need the boy racers to grow up and stop doing laps around the trees by the skate ramp.
Probus Club
Our first monthly meeting for the New Year was held at the Mapua Hall on 7 February, with guest speaker Trevor Squires discussing the antiques industry. His early interest as a boy was collecting old coins. The earliest New Zealand coins were minted in Australia from 1933 – prior to that, British coinage was used. Trevor now collects inkwells and early writing equipment, such as an 1840 ebony and rosewood writing slope. An unusual china ornamental staffy was displayed. Its purpose is to hold a writing quill. Other items were displayed in two cabinets, including a variety of inkwells, pens and an unusual letter-weighing instrument. An impressive silver inkwell, once owned by Lord Baden Powell was also on display.
During the second part of the meeting, Trevor examined and commented on a variety of personal antiques displayed by club members. There were 12 items, including a nurse’s belt from about the Crimean War, a bone Mah-Jong set and a small brass wood plane made in London.
In conclusion Trevor gave his views on the present and future of the antiques business in New Zealand. It has become very much reliant on the internet for profitable trading as New Zealand offers only limited scope.
A vote of thanks and a presentation was given to Trevor to wind up a very interesting afternoon. Our next meeting will be on 7 March at the Mapua Hall.

Hills Community Church
A kid who'd just learned to tie his shoe laces was crying, so his Mom asked - "Is it THAT hard?" "No" he sobbed, "but now I'll have to do it for the rest of my life!"
Some swallows were teaching their young to fly from a branch overhanging a lake. One by one they pushed their chicks to the end, until, somewhere between branch and the water, the chicks discovered they could fly. Their parents knew what they didn't.
Limitations are in our minds, not our bodies.
We are limited by those we have put in power as our leaders. By the time this paper is published, we may know whether the current threat of war is a fear or fact. Like the parent birds, our leaders may know what we didn't.
We read that it was the United States that helped put Saddam in power in the 1970s and was among the nations that provided materials used in Saddam's biological and chemical weapons programme during the Iran/Iraq war. British universities trained his scientists. Foreign policy seems to have been reckless for decades. However, education and science is helpful in itself - it is the way it can be used that can be harmful. And that implication we can't predict.
Democracy is a cumbersome ideal to live by - the freedom to live doing it "our way". Looking back in history, why can't nations realise there are no winners in war. Why can't nations try it "God's way"? We read in Psalm 78 - "O my people, hear my teaching, listen to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter hidden things, from of old - what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from our children, we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done."
Looking around the world at all the countries involved in war, causing refugee problems, and underdeveloped countries facing starvation - it seems our generation hasn't learned. So we look to our children, praying that they will come to understand God and learn to live in His ways. We are working towards this at Hills Community Church. Our children's programme - "KID'Z SPACE" - a unique learning space just for children is now up and running. Just a drop in the bucket - but there are many such buckets all over the world - "from a small acorn great oaks grow". So, we pray for better things to come - a light in the tunnel.
Watch for notices of an Alpha course here in Mapua - a video course on introducing Christianity.

Development Study
The Mapua Ruby Bay Development Study is broad based and encompasses the details of zoning of Council land around the Mapua Wharf (reported in the November 2002 Coastal News) as well as future directions for Mapua township and Ruby Bay.
A land use survey has revealed there is little land readily available for the future development of the township without further rezoning. The present rate of development is approximately 11 new dwellings a year at Mapua and 8 in the Ruby Bay locality.
Several meetings have been attended to discuss planning issues with local business and landowner groups. Loss of orchard land, adequacy of parking and beach access have been raised as additional issues. Council funding is being sought to obtain more detailed information on the services required if Mapua continues to grow at its present rate. Previous work indicates that a new reservoir is likely to be required at Pomona Rd as well as a stormwater management plan and upgrading of the wastewater and reserves network.
The extent of Residential, Industrial, Commercial and Open Space zoning in Mapua is an important issue for the working party. Some rules also need amending at Ruby Bay where rural rules have caused some difficulties. Car parking rules also need to be reviewed as a result of the Mapua Car Parking Study, which was completed in December.
The Study Area and possible growth directions are indicated on the map. If you have any queries or comments please call Rose Biss Policy Planner on 5443421 or email rose@tdc.govt.nz
Mapua Boat Club
Guardians of the Wharf
With the publication of Kobus Mentz’s ‘Development Framework’ for the wharf area, the Club can take some comfort from the recommendation that “additional retail on the wharf should be avoided”. While the Club executive has not come up with a formal position on the proposal for the wharf area, there is general disquiet at the proposal that the Clubrooms should be developed to cater for the adjoining restaurants.
The Club sees this space as first and foremost as always being available to the general public, with the main room being available for functions when not required for Club, Scout or community use. It is the intention of the Club to refit the Club’s part of the building, once it has security of tenure.
The substructure of the southern end of the wharf is in poor repair and in the Clubs opinion, in urgent need of maintenance. It is the responsibility of the TDC to maintain the substructure while the Club is responsible for maintaining the deck of the wharf. We are ready to meet our responsibilities. The TDC is well aware of our concern but we have yet to see any action.
The kid’s fishing competition and sausage sizzle was a great success with every available bit of wharf space taken up with kids of all ages trying their luck. Plenty of fish were landed and sausages consumed. The Clubs official measurers were kept busy measuring and recording fish species and sizes. Prizes were awarded in four age categories. It is intended to make this an annual event.
Ten of the kids who regularly fish on the wharf, along with a couple of dads, had a morning out in the Bay on board the Kaka . While the fishing wasn’t so great the weather was and everybody enjoyed the experience. The Club’s membership continues to grow and we are heartened by the increasing support of the local community.

Mapua Health Centre News
Cynthia Fowler is our latest and very welcome addition to the health centre staff. Cynthia is helping out with part-time reception work as we gear up for the rapidly increasing population of the area and the ever burgeoning challenges of medical bureaucracy.
We have finally bought a lightweight and easy to use defibrillator for use both in the centre and by members of the community. Our thanks go to the donations received, especially the pub charity, and to Dr Sally Harris who has been responsible for the project. We will be getting St John’s instructors to give demonstrations on the use of the machine as well as updates on resuscitation for those who are likely to be called for emergencies.
This year’s flu vaccines will soon be available and we will be contacting those who are on our computer recall system when they arrive. However, if you would like to receive a vaccination against the flu and have not had one previously from our centre please call the practice nurse on 540 2211, as we need to order sufficient supplies in advance.
As mentioned in the previous newsletter, we continue to update our records in order to have full information available at consultations. We are also having to prepare for the likelihood of government imposed ‘capitation’ which necessitates that patients are fully registered with one practice only. This means gradually checking through our records to try to find out if some patients appear to be registered as ‘casual’ when they may well consider themselves to be fully registered with us. If you are not sure, please feel free to either pop in to the reception desk or phone on 540 2211. It is very helpful if you can make sure that any old medical notes are transferred to the centre (which only takes a signature on a form kept at reception).
Mapua and Districts Netball Club
Would you like to play Netball this year?
Socially or seriously?Mapua District Netball Club has all the gear for a senior or youth team just gathering dust in my garage. Great uniforms, just one season old and begging to be shown off this year.
The club requires people willing to organise, coach, motivate and gather up enough for a team to fill these uniforms and to uphold the proud traditions of fun, fair play, and, at times, formidable opposition that Mapua netball players have established over the last decade and beyond.
The team can choose to play at Saxton Field or in Motueka on Saturdays from April through to August. This is your chance to stretch those sagging muscles, tone that tummy into a flattering mini skirt, put on your all-encompassing netball knickers, expose your legs and have a great winter playing New Zealand women’s biggest sport.
Join our intermediate and future ferns teams who are keenly anticipating another season. Anyone from around the district who would like to contribute to any part of our netball club, or who wish to organise a senior team can contact

RSA Memorial Library
Have you time to spare (or share?)
Our Library is looking for more volunteers to help with the behind the scenes work necessary to keep the Library going. E.g. Book repair workshops, cataloguing and processing new books. (Full training given - if you can read and follow instructions you can do it!). Other odd jobs associated with issuing etc. are also up for grabs. If this sounds like you phone Sarah 540 2698, or Betty 540 2267, or Karen 540 2528.
Speaking of volunteers, the Easter Fair is in April and any help before the fair or on the day at our book stall would be much appreciated also. You can let Sarah, Betty or Karen know if you would like to help. Donated books for the stall can be left at the Library anytime.
We know you bookworms are out there because our trial Wednesday night openings have proved very worthwhile and the number of issues for January came to 1034! Happy reading.
Mapua Bowling Club
February has been another interesting month with major competitions being held at the club.
On Sunday 2 February the club held the Brabant Trophy mixed triples, involving teams from around the Nelson district. The trophy was donated to the club by Wilma and Harry Van Beek about 15 years ago. The winning team was skippered by Norma Harvey of Stoke, with Murray Bisley’s team from Motueka as runners-up.
On Sunday 9 February, the club held the Paddy Day Memorial Fours – an invitation men’s competition. There was a maximum entry of 16 teams representing many of the district’s bowling clubs. This competition has been played every year for the past 12 years. The Mapua club was represented by four teams and Dick Dawson’s local team won all four games.
The third competition for the month was the Richard Johns Pairs on 23 February, sponsored by the Richard Johns Excavation Company.
February proved to be the driest for the summer. Fortunately the green has been well maintained by Charlie Broad and other club members. The green should continue to give good bowling up to the end of the season in April.
Mapua School News
The year is off to a flying start with new enrolments from around the world including the USA and Zimbabwe. A record number of New Entrants are expected between now and July with our roll anticipated to end on about 195 (the same as last year).
A major focus for the year is a "Quality Schools" programme that sees goals set schoolwide, in classes, for individuals and in curriculum areas. Already we observe the improving quality of programmes and student learning outcomes.
Four camps are going to be held this term, two at Lake Rotoiti and two at Pakawau.
All the computers (15 in total) have been clustered together for three weeks for intensive professional development for staff and students.
Our Intermediate Hardball Cricket team kicked off the season with a win over Motueka and all three Kiwi Cricket Teams won their first Saturday games. Furthermore the Volleyball team began their weekly involvement in the Richmond competition.

What I have come from and what I have come to.
by Karin Braunstein
(Year 7 - Room 5 - Mapua School)My name is Karin Braunstein and I am eleven years old. In January of this year my family came to live in New Zealand having left Zimbabwe.
In Africa we lived on a beautiful farm, north east of Harare. My Dad employed about two hundred and fifty people and we grew tobacco, soya beans, maize, paprika and winter wheat. Kashwao Estate was a very productive farm, but was taken away from us by the Zimbabwe government. As a result of this my Dad could no longer run his business and he decided to come to New Zealand, where his brother’s family are.
In Zimbabwe, I went to a boarding school called Barwick. It is a junior school and it had about three hundred and fifty pupils. We started weekly boarding at the age of five. The school had a smart uniform and we were proud of our school especially at the sporting events when we competed against other schools.
Barwick had large grounds including rugby fields, cricket pitches, tennis courts and two huge swimming pools. As boarders we became good friends, like a big family.
I am really enjoying my time at Mapua School. It also has a family feel to it and friendly teachers. I hope that you have been able to learn a little about “what I have come from and what I have come to”.
Mahana School News
A new school year has begun for Mahana School packed full of activities. The whole school/family picnic at Twin Bridges on 5th February was a great way for new school families to meet and for all the children to enjoy swimming, sports activities, and a picnic lunch in a great setting. Class meetings with parents have been taking place and classroom routines established. The Junior and Middle Room classes are small this year giving teachers more time to spend with individual students. The Senior Room class is quite large but there is plenty of extra support from the resource teacher who takes groups for reading, writing and maths.
The highlight in February for the Senior Room was the Origin Pacific sponsored trip to Auckland on 27th. The whole class went along with two teachers and two parents. They had a two hour guided tour of Kelly Tarlton's, visited the Sky Tower, and the Museum. A very full day with a 6.15 am check in at Nelson airport returning about 8 pm.
The Junior Swimming Sports were held on the same day with local schools assembling at Mahana School to swim and compete together. The Senior Swimming Sports were held on the 20th and Mahana students practised hard daily to improve their skills in swimming.
The Senior Room sports challenge against other local rural schools is being organised and will be held on our new sports field. It has been a long wait for the students but they are enjoying the use of the new sports field. A number of them will be playing soccer on it for the home game fields of the Mapua soccer teams.
The Mahana School website, www.mahana.school.nz, is up and running and was recently edited. There are still pages to be worked on and updated and students in the senior room will be working on this activity as part of their enrichment programme. The school has a new digital camera and the staff have also learned how to use Powerpoint software, both of which will be taught to students to use when presenting their projects.

Community Police Report
Congratulations to Community Constable Grant Heney, who after a long engagement has finally taken the plunge and married his fiancée of several years Liz. We wish them all the best and look forward to seeing Grant back on duty after his honeymoon.
Herb Circle News
The Herb Circle’s first meeting for 2003 saw a lively discussion on the year’s timetable and activities – the latter including a proposed visit to the hop processing plant at Appleby.
New Zealand’s first Herb Awareness Week was celebrated last month. In these busy times many folk have neither the time, nor the inclination to tend a garden – especially when packaged herbs are widely available. However, a few pots near the back door are not only attractive, but also give the cook an immediate selection of fresh herbs to pound, snip or chop. These are culinary uses only; the health and cosmetic aspects of these age-old plants are well documented elsewhere.
We welcome new members to the March 12 gathering at 1:30pm in the Community Church Hall in Aranui Rd. There is a proposal that after March, apart from outing days, we meet in member’s homes.
