While by no means the only culprit, forestry ‘slash’ debris in the Sounds from waterways and gullies is adding enormously to the sedimentation and siltation of Pelorus (in particular), adversely affecting its visual appearance and killing marine life in the Sound. This demands the need for more effective post-logging land use management policies and controls by both the DPI and MDC.
Prepared by David R. McInnes, Candidate for the Marlborough Ward, in the Sounds is both obligatory and essential. However, given the prevailing and likely future circumstances, previous comprehensive levels of accessibility may no longer be sustainable with the claim on the public purse becoming increasingly heavy. This suggests that reviewing roading priorities on a ‘can do’ and ‘cannot do’ reparation schedule may become an unpleasant but necessary reality.

4. Integrate Port Redevelopment Activities with Picton TC. It is my view that the major redevelopment of the Port invites both the opportunity and need to develop highly attractive and enticing pedestrian access from the interisland terminal to the TC.

lived in Wairau his entire life, he says that understanding the rich cultur al fabric of the community is an impor tant part of understanding who you are and where you come from. “Wairau is the birthplace of our nation; very few people realise that.” The Wairau Bar is the most significant site in the archaeology of Marl borough, and the Pacific, and one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. It is one of two sites in New Zealand where researchers discovered evidence of remains and artefacts that could be traced back to around 1280. The kaitiaki of the site are Rangitāne, a responsibility not tak en “Welightly.often know more words than we re alise, so just give it a try; kia kaha Te Reo Emma-JayeMāori.” King, the Pouārahi (general manager) of Maataa Waka Ki Te Tau Ihu Trust, brings a musical perspective to re vitalising te reo. “Before pen and the pa per, we listened to, thought about, and felt the words. It’s not just about the words, but their meaning.” Until the late 1700s, Māori history, knowledge and culture were shared orally. For Emma-Jaye, music is a
Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori
The language is the heart and soul of the mana of Māoridom
The 1987 Māori Language Act gave official language status to the Māori language in response to a Waitangi Tribunal finding that te reo was a taonga (treasure) that needed legal pro “Thetection.battle for te reo Māori has been fought in communi ties across Aotearoa, from small towns to our biggest cities. In 1987 some warned that mak ing te reo an official language would divide New Zealanders but 35-years later, te reo is something that unites us.”
There is much to celebrate this year, but we don’t have to look very far to realise that the fight to preserve te reo Māori is far from over. Once the dominant language of Aotearoa, like more than a third of the world’s languages, te reo Māori is at risk of extinction.
“Music is medicine for the soul that cre ates whanaungatanga [connection], and through the kōrero spoken it brings per spective and understanding.” She says that waiata in general is a language-learning resource that is sometimes overlooked, but people can remember song lyrics so much easier than the spoken word.

“Waiata speaks to the soul and acknowl edges healing and restoration with an op portunity to grow together through wairu atanga [holistic wellbeing], which is an essential requirement for the identity and wellbeing of te reo Māori.”
With an increasing number of settlers ar riving in New Zealand, once Pākehā were the majority, English became the dominant language. Unfortunately, most Pākehā did not understand the strong correlation be tween language and culture/identity.
Children happily sing waiata at school, Stan Walker’s first song completely in te reo, Aotearoa, reached number two in the charts, and the Patea Māori Club’s Poi E was the biggest seller in New Zealand in 1984, outselling all international artists. Dubbed “the anthem of a new generation”, it demonstrated the healing and uniting power of music.
What started as Māori language day in 1972, three years later became Te Wiki o te Reo Māori: Māori Language Week, an in tegral part of the wider efforts to revitalise the Māori language.
Despite a somewhat controversial start, it has become the norm for the New Zealand national anthem to be sung in both Eng lish and te reo.

Lara Millar, Associate Flight Coordinator
Understanding the biological reason behind why we’re feeling a certain way can help us process and work through unfamiliar emotions. During scary or surprising events, our brains react chemically – releasing adrenaline, triggering a ‘fight-or-flight’ response.
Te Piki Oranga (Māori wellness services provider) kaimahi made over 1,000 calls to potentially flood-affected whānau; supporting with kai, medications, and health concerns. Closed roads, increased traffic, and heavy rains meant that many were unable to go to pharmacies for time-sensitive, specialised medications. To combat this, Te Piki Oranga sought emergency authorisation to be able to collect medications on behalf of whānau by working with doctors and pharmacists.

From floods to fog, our flight nurses’ priority is to safely get patients to the specialist services they need, all over the country. The repatriation of discharged patients who had received treatment in Nelson Hospital, but were then cut off from Wairau due to flooding and road closures, was a new challenge.

A variety of reactions are normal –everyone reacts differently in unfamiliar or upsetting situations. Some people may never have a reaction. Others may have delayed reactions that show up days, weeks or even months after the disaster happens.
The administrative team not only called patients to reschedule appointments or change them to Telehealth – they also called patients to reassure them that their appointments or surgeries would go ahead as planned. IMT held a morning tea to thank them for their efforts.

And also, it shows that there are many people in the community who really do care and want to help in any way they can.
