Hokianga Artist in Residence 2015
No.1 Parnell has received sponsorship to establish an Artist in Residence opportunity in the Hokianga at Rawene Art Park (formerly Holiday Park), an inspirational bush-­‐clad property with an amazing Hokianga harbour vista,. We had been approached previously by Simone Jacquat, artist and co-­‐
owner of Rawene Holiday Park, about the possibility of offering artists’ residencies, and the sponsorship has facilitated this inaugural residency.
Residency aims:
The aims of this residency are to:
• Provide an environment for an arLst to stay in seMngs and surroundings likely to sLmulate creaLve and innovaLve work.
• Encourage and support arLsLc endeavours in and about our regional parks.
• Raise awareness of the Hokianga as a place of interest and inspiraLon.
When is the residency?
The residency is for a maximum of ten consecutive weeks, from mid-­‐April to mid-­‐July, 2015.
What does the residency offer?
The residency provides accommodation at no cost plus $100 per week to supplement living expenses. It will take place at Rawene Art Park, 42 Manning St. Rawene. Accommodation is a studio unit with kitchenette and ensuite bathroom plus use of all facilities including artist’s studio.
No 1 Parnell will also provide gallery/performance space (if required as part of the discipline) as well as opportunity to engage with local artists through formal and informal gatherings. Are you eligible?
We seek self-­‐sufficient, self-­‐motivated established or emerging artists. Artists need to have a proven exhibition record and need to be committed to creating a new body of work whilst staying in the Park. Artists in all disciplines will be considered.
Artists will need to be Aotearoa New Zealand-­‐born or have New Zealand residency status practising professionally in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Contact
Please contact Linda Blincko at [email protected] for residency criteria and conditions and an application form. Applications close on March 16th. All applicants will be responded to and the successful applicant will be informed by the end of March.

Warawara maunga need not be
Blitzed by air with poisonous 1080
The government makes some think that it’s the right way
But we know it’s wrong and our maunga need to stay
Free of their hazardous wastes fed by corporate junk-­‐science spin
We need to look at the natural ways that have always been
Aligned to our hearts and souls and which ring true
Ones that don’t pollute and harm as 1080 will do
To safeguard our beautiful forests and streams
To do our tupuna proud and to find the means
To ensure we keep the Warawara 1080-­‐
Free

Mayor wants ideas to cut building red tape
Garry Clarke
Hokianga & Coastal
Consultant
09 405 7688 or 021 0333 999
If you have good ideas that can help reduce the cost of building or developing property, Far North Mayor John Carter wants to hear from you.
Mr Carter has been appointed to the nine-­‐
member Rules Reduction Taskforce by Local Government Minister Paula Bennett. The taskforce has been set up to get rid of what the Minister calls "loopy property rules and regulations that are stopping people from getting on with the job." The taskforce is asking people with ideas to make submissions and will begin holding meetings across the country next month.
Mr Carter says he is honoured to be named a member of the taskforce, which will be co-­‐
chaired by Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean and Auckland Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Michael Barnett.
"I know there are lots of rules out there that are just plain frustrating and idiotic. Maybe at one time they served a purpose. But now they are out of date and serve only to increase costs and frustration without any public benefit."
Mr Carter says some rules are necessary to ensure safety and quality of our housing stock. But others impose excessive and unnecessary costs, driving up the cost of homes. By identifying those rules, the taskforce can recommend to the Government how to cut building and development costs and thereby make housing more affordable for all New Zealanders.
"I'd like to hear from Far North residents and businesses about their experiences. People can email me at [email protected] or write to me at the Far North District Council, Private Bag 752, Kaikohe 0440."
More information about the taskforce can be found at www.facebook.com/
cutredtape.nz and on Twitter @CutRedTapeNZ. Go to www.govt.nz/

While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends late one night, the drunk led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong.
"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked. “That's the talking clock" the man replied. "How does it work?" "Watch", the man said, giving it an ear-­‐shattering thump with a hammer.
This was followed by a roar from the apartment on the other side of the wall: "Give us a break, you idiot. It’s 2 o’clock in the @^&$#*& morning!!"

Hayley 021457738 Gidday Golfers,
The course is coming along nicely with great work done by the rakes, weed eaters and mowers as the scores are also improving. At the club Sunday 15 Feb 2015 Results: Men’s Stableford, Vili Fakahua 36 pts, Peter Brown 34 pts & Joel Quitta c/b 33pts. Ladies Stableford, Sophie Titore 38 pts & Bett Mendes 31 pts. The two’s were Vili & Peter. The 2 Rounds of stableford competitions, the Club Captain Champion is Doug Brown, winner on a countback, and Ladies Whakatere Vase Champion, also winner on a countback, is Sophie Titore. The Pennant’s vs The Rest matchplay shield had reigning champs ‘The Rest’ beat the pennant team 3 wins to 2 again. This week 22 Feb Ladies have PukeHuia Cup finals and the men will have a free day as the Men’s Pennant team are playing BOI Golf club team. New Members: More Junior Golfers wanted, and anyone who is interested in playing golf this year or “giving it ago”, call Dixon ph 4057418 mob 0226808503.
Joke: My golfing excuses – 1. I'm hitting the woods just great, but I'm having a terrible time getting out of them. 2. The best wood in my golf bag is the pencil. 3. If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. 4. A Golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck. 5. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. 6. A ball you can see in the tree from 50 yards away is probably yours. 7. It is surprisingly easy to hole a fifty-­‐foot putt: for a ten. 8. If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight; and I'll always remember the day I broke 90. I had a few beers in the clubhouse and was so excited I forgot to play the back nine.
Happy Hacking

Hokianga Sailing Trust
The yachts were well used on Sunday, a good westerly was blowing and we all had fun down at the harbour mouth. A picnic was planned, and apart from a slight glitch with the rescue boat skipper running off with Cynthia's sandwich and Charlies' coat, a great time was had. Paul missed out as he stayed behind to check on Pania, sailing her "Wattie" crewed by her pooch. A tinnie makes a good row boat, or bean can, but not much of a sail boat.
Sailor of the Day, Elise, for some good tacking.
Back Sailing at OPONONI on SUNDAY 22ND, MEET AT MIDDAY
The following weekend, 28th Feb or Ist March, has good tides for our return sail to Rawene.

Rawene from 1500m altitude

But the Rawene Scenic Reserve is official.
Let’s back-­‐up a little: I was trawling through the NZ Geographic Board Gazetteer of NZ place names to check the official spelling of a place unrelated to Rawene, and noticed that “Rawene” is listed as “unofficial recorded”. The New Zealand Geographic I asked if it matters if “Rawene” has not Board-­‐Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa (NZGB) gone through the official recognition is responsible for approving the names of process.

Maps, charts and Gazetteer, along with a lot of other other official documents will continue to information. I then checked for “Herd’s show Rawene, but because it’s not official, Point” and “Okura”, any name can be both names shown.”
Does it matter if “Rawene” has associated with the My next question Rawene area. That’s not gone through the official was: “Are there are when I noticed there recognition process?

eventually emailed the Board seeking Naturally, that led to the question, “Is clarification of some of the terms they use. there any advantage in applying for the Wendy Shaw, the Board’s secretary, name to become official?”
helpfully told me that in Rawene’s case “Yes”, said Wendy. ”It would mean that “unofficial recorded” means that the name the compliance provisions of the NZGB Act has not been through the NZGB statutory must be observed, giving certainty that process to make it official.
