There is a reason May is the most popular month for locals to go on holiday. It is usually the month of ‘nothingness’ as the long wait begins until the mountain opens and we have something to get excited about again. Signalling the end of nothingness and the beginning of the ski season, as it has since 1975, is Queenstown’s Winter Festival. This year, WinterFest starting on 22 June has a lot to prove. Setting the benchmark on how to run a successful community orientated seasonal event was the Arrowtown Autumn Festival a couple of weekends ago. Being an Arrowtowner I may be biased, but regardless of where you live in the district you cannot deny the success of this festival. It is an important economic peg in the ground signalling to the world Arrowtown is the place to be during autumn. For its vibrant colours and all round atmosphere, but most importantly as a community get together before winter sets in and we hide ourselves away behind thermal curtains until the first daffodil pokes its head through the ground in September. It hasn’t been easy in recent years with a shoestring budget and run by volunteers. Tough calls on the length of Autumn Fest were made and the shortened program meant ditching some long-standing iconic events. However the proof is in the pudding and with an estimated 15,000 people packing the streets on parade day, many of them local, to watch dozens of performers, all of them local, the tough calls have been vindicated. Now it’s Queenstown’s turn. As Queenstown continues to grow at a record pace, the question is, can the annual WinterFest pull us together over a mulled wine in puffer jackets and beanies for a good old fashioned party that celebrates the tightknit community that is Queenstown? An excuse for a local celebration to kickstart the ski season is why it all began. We cannot rely on B List Auckland media personalities to do our marketing for us. If the world sees locals out and about enjoying their own town, they will join in and keep Queenstown Inc. ticking along. If there has been a criticism of Queenstown’s winter show piece in recent years it is the lack of community engagement. On the WinterFest website in the ‘About Queenstown’ section they use video of Arrowtown’s Autumn Festival to put a bit of local flavour into the branding. This year Queenstown needs to add some WinterFest images of locals having fun and participating, and show there is still a great little community within the mass tourism machine.

As much a challenge for event organisers, this years revamped WinterFest is also a challenge to local Queenstowners to get off the sofa and get amongst it. Condensing the program and bringing back the community feel is in my opinion the right move. It’s got to start with the locals and if we get out and enjoy it, the positive spin off for our economy and community spirit will follow. Scott Stevens scott@lwb.co.nz

The Outrageous Price Of Tomatoes.
You know in the North Island they feed their cattle peppers? You know how much a pepper costs in this town? Sometimes 4 bucks. Don’t get me started on tomatoes. In the peak of winter its like 12 bucks a kilo. Are you mad? It can’t be 2 bucks a kilo in summer and then jump up ten dollars sometimes in the winter. It’s wrong. You just can’t get the same delicious taste with tin tomatoes than you can with fresh tomatoes. And the tomatoes in winter are always soft and well past the moment of being good in a tasty sandwich. I think we should all consider
how to ensure tomatoes do not creep up to 12 bucks a kilo this year. I grew my own tomatoes this year. It was fantastic. I could freeze them for winter, but I shouldn’t have to. I shouldn’t have to go to the shop and not be able to buy tomatoes. So to all the foodies, restaurant leaders, major shop owners and politicians - PLEASE CAP THE PRICE OF TOMATOES THIS WINTER. Please!
Mr Savoury Fruit
Response To Last Weeks’ Editorial Dear Bethany, I read your article with a very heavy-heart. Why you might ask? Let me explain in a nutshell. A predator-free Wakatipu/New Zealand will come at too great a cost for myself and my family. Don’t get me wrong, I do support the idea of protecting native wildlife, but I am not in support of MORE poison or inhumane methods being employed by DOC to try and exterminate pests right up to my front door. 1080 has been banned all over the world for very good reasons. Here in New Zealand, DOC have been dropping tons of the stuff for YEARS and still it has not eradicated all the pests in the areas of the drops. What makes me uncomfortable is the fact that all this poison ends up where? In our ecosystems, our water... and possibly our meat and milk. It does not surprise me that NZ has such a high cancer rate and its no wonder there has been a spike in miscarriages amongst women in areas where 1080 has been dropped. Obviously DOC will not be using 1080 in towns and cities - so what poison will they use? And will our beloved cats and other pets be at risk? Whether DOC uses 1080 or other poisons, I do not want my children growing up in a poisoned environment. Secondly, I believe that the ‘pest-hate’ message spread by DOC and related organisations results in cruelty. An example is the Uruti School competition - children are encouraged to kill possums (in any way they choose) and then dress them up for prizes. This is not a good message to give children... that torture/death of a ‘pest’ is not only acceptable, but applauded. When I volunteered for the SPCA there were so many cases of cats and kittens being tortured and mutilated - just unbelievable considering some of these were pets stolen for ‘fun’.
Animals have been classed as ‘sentient beings’ recently in New Zealand, so how can one justify cruel killing methods for an animal that is capable of feeling pain and fear? There is a lot of research linking acts of animal cruelty (which is a natural by-product of the pest-hate message) to further acts of bullying and cruelty as children get older. In fact, many violent offenders, as well as serial killers, started out harming animals before moving on to humans. Humane education plays an important role in creating a compassionate and caring society. (One wonders if the trapping, poisoning, pest-killing culture that has been encouraged for so long in NZ is one of the reasons for the country’s horrific domestic and child abuse figures??). The poisons that are used in DOC’s pest-traps cause extreme, drawn-out suffering in the animals before death, while 1080 kills every single oxygen-breathing creature, also causing intense pain and suffering. I do not want my children exposed to unnecessary cruelty and the inhumane killing of any creature. To sum up, I am a parent and the health and well-being of my children and the quality of their lives in the future is of utmost importance to me. I will not support a predatorfree Wakatipu or New Zealand unless the strategy to be used involves humane killing methods and enables my children to grow up and live their lives in a poison-free environment. I look forward to your feedback and would appreciate you publishing my response.
With regards from “Pests above Poison”
I’m a self-confessed animal lover and eco-nut. I do not condone the inhumane killing of any living thing. In my editorial, I outlined that I think cats should be kept indoors and by this, I mean loved like a family member, entertained and properly fed and watered in the home environment. They should also be neutered or spayed to prevent unwanted offspring ending up in unloving hands, or roaming wild. Humans brought pests into New Zealand and I believe it is our job to phase them out or control them as best we

Are you going to support WinterFest this year?
FACEBOOK/WEBSITE COMMENTS Editorial - 597 Sounds that Cats are like Freedom Campers in that they too are given the unbridled freedom to sleep, defecate and litter with unbridled abandon and are generally a noncontributing nuisance.
Give A Little,Take A Lot Of all the pests, the concern for cats is down the list. Humans are obviously worst, but when we’re on top of stoats, rabbits, possums, rats, mice, etc, not to mention pines, etc... we might consider felines. Cats cull very few native birds and are statistically eating sparrows and other introduced birds more so. What a draconian, idea. More rules, more control, narrow focus on a small part of a bigger issue. Can’t support poorly formed, emotionally driven ideas.
Tony As the owner of an indoor cat, it is possible to restrict access to outdoors but there are a number of vital environmental enrichments that need to be done to reduce stress and stress related behavioural problems like house soiling, destruction, aggression, etc. Other local councils have introduced bylaws related to cats... microchipping, limiting numbers and some also have introduced mandatory cat curfews in certain ecologically sensitive areas.

Response from Bethany G. Rodgers Dear “Pests above Poison”,
ASK ME
can so that our native flora and fauna do not suffer and die out. They are the ones in danger of extermination – not the cats, rats, rabbits and possums. I think 1080 is DOC’s last-ditch attempt at saving our environment. I don’t agree with it, but I do understand that we have very few alternatives and we’re rapidly running out of time. Traps and hunting are more humane, but they’re expensive and need the financial and voluntary support of our communities. My best suggestion is that we support awesome initiatives like the Routeburn Dart Trust and take steps to control the little pests we call our pets.
Would love to see someone try and keep cats contained indoors forever. Maybe they should try it for themself too haha. Is there going to be a cat police? Modelled on the current dog police?

We’ll be wheeling out our trusty BBQ to bring you some delicious food and as always there’ll be some delicious craft beers for you all. Plus, once again we’ll be opening up into Farellis to make your favourite bar even bigger! Come down and let’s celebrate another fantastic summer season, whilst raising money to be put back into the Queenstown Mountain Bike Club!! Bazaar: Whole Cardrona lamb, slow roasted beef rumps and double smoked leg ham are just some of the offerings for the Bazaar Sunday Roast. With all your favourite trimmings, head to Bazaar for the classic Sunday roast like you had way back when, with a few surprises thrown in. Adults are $55, while children are only $25, but bookings are essential so call 03 450 1336 to book now. AJ Hackett: This weekend it’s locals week at AJ Hackett. With 50% off all activities + online photo & video combos, there is no better time to take the plunge and give bungy jumping a go. Bookings are essential, so pop into the Queenstown Bungy Centre (located inside the station building) or call 0800 286 495.
Name: Kat Sieg Place of Work: Vinyl Underground Nationality: French How long local: 1 month When you are not at work where do you party? In the ice bar to get my igloo fix Favourite customers: Ones that speak English How’s the love life and what’s your 5 year plan? The goal is to travel and work from a laptop, if that doesn’t go as planned, I’ll be in my igloo drowning myself in maple syrup whilst my pet polar bear licks it off. During daylight hours, what floats your boat? I’m a volunteer dog walker, because I need dogs in my life. What is the biggest issue facing QT? Biggest issue is the pantry in my house that we’ve named the “poo cupboard” because there is a mysterious poo odour that won’t escape the premise.
