St Barnabas Church has a new priest
St Barnabas Church, Warrington has a new "Priest-enabler", a role
shared with all the churches between Warrington and Hampden.
Vance Vidal's Anglican Communion began fifty years ago when he was 15,
teaching and working with children and youth in a little parish.
Six years later, after working in drama with youth groups while at
University in Arizona, Vance went for theological training in
Virginia, followed in Arizona with four years or so as an assistant in
a large parish and university chaplain, then some years as a Vicar in
small town churches and rural areas, including one on the Mexican
border, one in a farming town in the high desert, then to a mining
town in the hills not far from Tombstone.
Vance came to New Zealand in 1981, worked in a cooperating parish for
several years, and then as a school chaplain. After being interim at
Waimate North in the Bay of Islands, where he met Kathy from Okaihau,
Vance opted to be a high school teacher again, and a non-stip priest
-which continued for fifteen years. Kathy and Vance married and
settled in Kerikeri with two children, Jessica and Andre.
Vance and a couple of drama teachers organized the Bay of Islands
Youth Theatre before four years in the Gore parish as Vicar, three
years in the Dunstan as Enabler, then at Selwyn College filling in as
chaplain, while developing a lifestyle block near Outram.

We have been blessed with some beautiful summer weather and the rain
held off for our visit to the Orokonui Ecosanctuary, which was a
superb visit, the Ecosanctaury is an amazing space with its increasing
bird numbers, regenerating bush and incredible use of shipping
containers for the visitors centre. We were all
impressed with the fabulous staff that showed us around and shared
their amazing knowledge.
The School goals for this year focus on teaching and learning in the
arts areas and increasing our understanding of children's varying
learning needs. The teachers have been discussing a school target of
how our community-based projects
will improve the social literacy of our pupils. Social literacy refers
to a person's ability to communicate effectively and ethically across
society – something that is believed an important skill to learn.
Our 2010 projects are the creating of a school vision map with
resident artist Juliet Sorrel, the stream restoration project plan
with our very own Enviroschools facilitator and teacher Trisha Korth.
There is also a community gardening project being initiated, the
development of the courts area (see noticeboard for details)
and pupils broadcasting live over Blueskin Bay FM.
BB FM is presently running 24/7 in test mode and will soon be ready
for the official launch. All Room 1 pupils are involved in the
creation of 10 30 minute shows during the week. Music played on
BBFM is presently Creative Commons licensed music BBFM still need to
raise funds to play copyrighted music. We are keen to have the
community assisting our pupils run the station during the day with
more open access to the radio station out of school hours 8am4pm. If
you are keen to be involved helping either the pupils or BBFM please
talk to us.
We are aiming to establish a drum and dance culture in the school. We
would like to include this into this year's Kaupapa festival. We also
hope to perform at the A&P show on Saturday 20 March and at the
midwinter festival.

Dunedin North MP Pete Hodgson visited community broadcaster Blueskin
Bay FM for an interview on Monday, 15 February.
During the interview with Warrington School Room 1 pupils Stephanie
and Miya, he demonstrated a politician's ability to field a curly
question.
Asked "how do you feel about having a National government?" he
replied, "I don't like it at all. I used to be a Cabinet Minister and
now I'm something called a back bencher, and I don't have anything
important to do."
Pete explained that his last name is pronounced "hodson", not
"hojson", but, ever the political pragmatist, "I don't mind how people
pronounce it."
Pete enjoyed his interview, then turned the tables, interviewing the
children for a few moments. He agreed to visit the station for another
interview in March.

APRON STRINGS (NZ 2008)
This South Auckland story is about two families of two cultures: one
Sikh, the other dyed-in-the-wool Anglo. Food and love are intertwined
in this tale of two mothers who must find the courage to confront the
secrets and misunderstandings of the past, in order to set their sons
free. The boundaries of nurture and control, mothering and smothering
are explored in this irresistibly local celebration of recognizable
real lives on the big screen and ends fittingly with cups of tea. 90min
Tuesday March 16
MY WINNIPEG (Canada 2007)
Guy Maddin's portrait of his native city is intensely idiosyncratic
and hilariously unreliable, constructed around his apparently doomed
imperative to escape the place, and with it, his mother. He takes us
back to the sensual mayhem of his mother's hairdressing salon, the
macho world of ice hockey and the locker rooms of the city's
subterranean
pools. 80min

THE FIVE OBSTRUCTIONS (Denmark 2005)
An investigative journey into the phenomenon of "documentary", based
on manifestos written by directors Lars von Trier and Jørgen Leth.
About a filmmaker not only revisiting, but also recreating one of his
first films, "The Perfect Human". Von Trier's stated intention is
to mine a vein of suffering in Leth's work which he feels hasn't been
presented before or as he puts it, he wants the feel of `a tortoise
on its back'. 90min

TOPAZ (USA 1969_
Hitchcock takes you behind the actual headlines to expose the most

becomes embroiled in the Cold War politics first by uncovering the
events leading to the 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis, and then back to
France to break up an international Russian spy ring. 127mim

McLAREN THE INNOVATOR (Canada)
14 short films by N McLaren, 61min
From the Animation Genius, Norman McLaren, we show three programmes
containing short films selected from a wealth of works spanning five
decades. Famous for experimenting with both the visual and aural
possibilities of the moving image, McLaren's films are marked by an
internationalist social conscience, an insistence on exploring the
malleability of the film form and a playful sense of humour. No
matter how abstract they may at first appear, his films boast an
engaging narrative structure that contributes to their timelessness
and accessibility.

AFTER THE FALL (Germany 1999)
This documentary explores the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin
Wall and the almost total disappearance of its once 160 kilometres
long structure that surrounded West Berlin. Since then, some 50,000
new buildings have been erected in the capital. But the common tenor
of different people is that the wall and its traces were eradicated
too quickly, with the intention of clearing away the past as soon as
possible. 85min

COMRADES IN DREAMS (Germany 2006)
Four lives that could not be more different and a single passion that
unites them: the unconditional love for their cinemas, somewhere at
the end of the world. From North Korea to Wyoming, India to Burkina
Faso, we follow their efforts to make their audiences dream every
night. The film dives into a set of fascinating lives where stories
from the everyday and from the silver screen frequently merge into
something magical. 100min

BERLIN IS IN GERMANY (Germany 2001)
After 11 years in prison, the former GDR citizen Martin Schulz has
been released from jail into a unified Germany. With nothing but East
German documents and money and good humour, he re-establishes contact
with his former wife and son. Fellow jailbird Victor gets him a job
in a video store. But Schulz's past is haunting him. Not being able
to get a taxi driver's license because of his criminal past and his
contact to the shady Victor leads to serious trouble. 93min
Tuesday June 22
SUN ALLEY (Germany 1999)
A film about life in the 1970's at the tail end of Sun Alley, in the
shadow of the Berlin Wall… A lively, beautifully played coming-of-
age tale that takes a comic look at an era usually portrayed through
bleak dramas or espionage
thrillers. 101min
Tuesday June 29
I SERVED THE KING OF ENGLAND (Czech Republic 2007)
Czechoslovakia, 1963. Jan Díte is released from prison after serving
15 years. He goes into semi exile in a deserted village near the
German border. In flashbacks, he tells his story: he's a small,
clever and quick-witted young man, stubbornly naïve, a vendor at a
train station. Thanks to a patron, he becomes a waiter at upscale
hotels and restaurants. "A sexy bit of satire... easily one of the
cleverest and wittiest comedies to come out of Europe in recent
years." 120min
Tuesday July 6
SUMMER IN BERLIN (Germany 2005)
Nike and divorcee Katrin spend their evenings on Nike's balcony,
looking down at the city below. From their perspective, the world is
turbulent and troublesome – the good guys usually turn out to be
bad; decent jobs are hard to come by; and you have to be tough to
succeed. The sensitive portrayal of the two female characters is
coupled with moments of enchanting comedy. It is a moving film full
of warmth, sincerity and delightful humour. 105min

NINE QUEENS (Argentina 2000)
Boyish, likable Juan and hard-edged, scheming Marcos meet by chance.
Marcos seems to have cheated everyone including his siblings. He
offers to teach Juan tricks for a day. Juan accepts as he needs money

associate to help sell a forged set of rare stamps, the Nine Queens,
and asks Juan to use his savings to set up the
deal. 114min

breaking the first rule and being punished by the
spices. 92min

Do we have to wear clogs?.... French dancing (and beyond) at the Waitati
hall - Friday 19th Feb. 6pm - Koha
Suitable for people without dancing experience. It will give an impression
of the diversity of French and European dances. Everybody can participate.
No dancing experience, no dance partner required. No special clothes or
shoes necessary.
Kate Grace is most known in Dunedin as a teacher of African folk dance and
for her involvement with Songbong. After a recent 3-year stay in France
(her native country) she rediscovered French and European folk dances and
attended many workshops and festivals of traditional music and dance. She
started a regular dance session on Thursdays at 6pm at the Baptist Hall in
North-East Valley and is now proposing workshops every first and third
Friday of each month to the Waitati community.
Here are some links to give you an idea of what I am aiming for.
Last workshop in Waitati, we had a look at the Gavotte de l'Aven (Bretagne),
the Andro (Bretagne), the mazurka (Poland).
Try to convince husbands and partners...Good luck!
