What would you say if you had to explain Christmas to someone who knew nothing about it? You might begin with the shepherds in the fields by night or Santa at the North Pole or even the appeal of starting our summer holiday with a festival that comes just when the sun is at its highest, and with all the promise of hot, dry days. Relaxing and rejoicing, feasting and singing, humility and awe — these would all be parts of your answer depending on your beliefs. The personal explanations would probably come easiest: the rituals of Christmas, the smell of a BBQ, the noise of the children out of school till late January and of a world of daylight. You would probably have something to say about the importance of family and the force of a holiday whose strongest emotions center upon children, and upon our memories of being children. And yet to really explain Christmas you would also have to try to answer the question that perennially pressing question: how do you tie together the traditional values of Christmas with the frenzied commercial reality of shopping, over indulging and retail? There is no glossing over the problem — what matters is not just the discombobulation between the majesty of tradition and the craziness of the shopping. It is that all those presents did not really catch the feeling we are looking for, did not say what we hoped to say which is why I think that so many of us feel it’s important to also remember those who are less well off.
The whole LWB-team was WOWED earlier in the year when Bruna created a dress out of LWB’s and absolutely rocked it! The LWB was also seen being read all over the world and the best have been combined on page 16-17. Check it out.
That visitor might well wonder, why don’t we always hope for peace on earth? And if you genuinely love one another — truly hold one another in your hearts — wouldn’t simply saying it be far more eloquent than any other gift that you could give? These questions point to something we already know, that for all the tension and pressure of the Christmas rush, for all the sputtering of the commercial machine that rolls out at the end of every year, this is truly a holiday of modest spirit, a day of friends, family and sharing. We want to express our thanks and to say ‘I love you’ and have it said in return. I hope we’d also say it’s a time to give thanks and at this most wonderful time of the year, all the team at the Lakes Weekly would like to say thanks for your support over the year whether as advertisers, contributors, readers or suppliers and wish everyone in Queenstown and further afield a very, very happy Christmas.

The Wakatipu Community Darkroom Project When the old Wakatipu High School site closed in preparation for the new-fangled building in Frankton, the school also disposed of some of its older technologies. This included the school’s darkroom facilities – once fairly common in schools, they’re now mostly confined to the specialist faculties of universities. But photographer Paul Green had other ideas, snapping up the school’s darkroom equipment to create what could be New Zealand’s only community darkroom. It’s taken almost two years to raise funds and find a space for the speciality photography equipment, but Paul’s hoping the project will be open to the community in the next month or two. He’s now looking for volunteers to help launch the project. “It’d be good to talk to a sparky and a plumber – we’re looking for anyone who’s community orientated or into photography; anyone who perhaps couldn’t contribute financially but wants to help in a hands-on way. We’ve still got to fit the space out and get it going, so there’s all sorts to do… anyone who wants to secure their place in the history of this thing is welcome to!” The darkroom is being set up inside a container that’s currently sitting outside of the Hangar co-working space in Arthur’s Point. It’s being set up for basic use (“we’ve decided to walk before we start to run,” says Paul), with equipment and facilities to develop black-and-white 35mm film. Once complete, there’ll be space for four to six people to use the darkroom at a time. “We’ll run small classes and workshops, so that people who have never developed a film before can pay a small fee to come and give that a go. We want as many people to use it as possible. “That’s been the thing for me all along – it’s a community project and the community will run it. I want to find practitioners to run workshops and share their skills too… I’m really looking forward to it.” Paul Green is a professional commercial photographer, as he works with digital photography on a day to day basis, he says film photography is his “antidote”. “It’s different, to craft an image that becomes a physical and tangible thing. It’s a more manual process and it’s a different form of artistic expression [to digital photography]. What you do in the darkroom is part of the creative process… it’s basically the photoshop of 100 years ago.” Anybody who’d like to offer their skills, time and passion is encouraged to get in contact with the Wakatipu Community Darkroom Project via the Facebook page.

CBD by Miranda Spary Miranda Spary is a tired, old, has been columnist that we feel sorry for. She used to write a weekly book column in the old Queenstown Times which was read more for the local gossip in it than the book part. She is quite lazy and very grateful if readers send in ideas about what’s been happening locally on miranda@queenstown.co.nz
It’s funny how we turn Christmas into one ominous deadline of things that need doing but it’s easy enough to use this time when everyone thinks they’re too busy to go and do some things that weren’t on the calendar. You never know what’s round the corner so always take the chance to do fun things with people you love - all that housework and present shopping and wrapping can wait. My London based daughter made a last minute decision to fly home for Christmas and then said she wanted to see her friend’s baby in Dunedin. I haven’t had time to go to Dunedin for at least a couple of years, but we just went on the spur of the moment. It was SO easy. We raced round the art galleries - if you are in Dunedin, with or without children (but it’s especially fun with - my child is nearly 28), at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery there’s a Brazilian exhibition upstairs (not the Brazilian downstairs variety) but a fabulous installation called Opavivara! where you can fool around in an enormous rainbow coloured hammock and lie inside a fishnet decorated with plastic rubbish. They sound ridiculous but they make everyone laugh. There’s also a tea lounge where you can enjoy all sorts of Brazilian tea and watch the madness of visitors interacting with the art. A peony from my garden was all I could think of to take to Jo Booker who has been busy in hospital learning how wonderful it is to breathe unaided after a horrid virus snatched away all the things she took for granted - sight, speech, movement... it was so exciting seeing how much progress she has made and I was very happy to hear her call my name (she recognised my foghorn voice from far down the corridor). She’s even coming home for Christmas!!! And I had to say a happy farewell to my oncologist this week - he doesn’t need to see me again and I have to let everyone know that if you do get told you have cancer, do wait before you panic and start thinking the worst. The treatments are so much more effective these days, and my year of having breast cancer has flown by just as fast as every other year - lots of lovely things have happened because of it, and our health service is outstanding. We are so lucky to have Dunstan Hospital nearby in Clyde for chemo and all the brilliant team at Lakes District Hospital and the Cancer Society. Goodbye 2019 - it’s been a very different year for me (I’ve never had any major health thing ever before) and I hope you all have the happiest, healthiest Christmas and New Year ever.

TOP WHINGES FOR THE YEAR Ted TEXT I hate to use the G word, but what irritates me about Greta, is not her desire to change but the aggressive finger pointing at a generation that has provided her with many great things. Every generation inherits mistakes as much as they inherit the previous generations lessons, knowledge and assets. To me she is creating a division between generations when there could be at least a morsel of acknowledgement of the good that she has inherited. A hugely unpopular narrative is that of the older generation calling kids naive or ungrateful, but there is truth in it.
Kids have no idea how much their lives would regress if they had to move to a lifestyle that didn’t have any environmental knock on effects. The problems are massively complex and when they say that the oldies have failed them they completely alienate an important generation. Do what you can and most importantly get planting, that’s about the most progressive change you can personally make.
the flat earther... with a crossbow. The threat is taken seriously by the victim and got dragged into the courts where the judge ultimately had to play the role of a school teacher, and made both parties apologize to each other before dismissing the case. LIKE CHILDREN. WHY did this get published? Honestly! It’s not news at all. I read it as a squabble. I s’pose they knew they would get a click- bait reaction. Is this what our news has become? The best headline wins? Only good thing to come of this article is the flatearth puns. Herald plays Flatmate for headline.
such as internationally recognised classical pianist AJ Hickling who has an undeniable talent. How then can we endorse a busker with a howling dog that can only be described as noise pollution as talent and not a public nuisance?? It may be a cash grab novelty but for many locals and tourists it is nothing more than a discomfort that forces us away from what was once an enjoyable day out. Perhaps some form of quality control from our council should be in place so that the annoying neighbours dog that barks all day spoiling your day off isn’t allowed into public space to cause nothing more than an unreasonable interference with peace and comfort. Simon Howl
What the ship! My heart sank when I heard the news that the Ferry is stopping at the end of February. You would think that for a town built alongside lakes and rivers, Council(s) supporting public transport that runs on the water would be a no-brainer. But no. It seems that all they want to do is pass the buck and make excuses - they’ve been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. QLDC, ORC and NZTA all need to get onboard - they talk of the need to adopt alternative transport modes, yet here’s existing infrastructure staring them in the face. Without supporting the ferry, they put more pressure on the already overcapacity roading network and further stretch the limited parking in the centre of town. The ferry needs

Dog doesn’t have talent. Perception of talent is a personal choice; one person’s likes may be another’s dislike as many of us have seen on one of the plethora of TV talent shows. What is talent? Talent can be defined as “someone who has a natural ability to be good at something especially without being taught”. Then we have “Nuisance” and as defined in the council Bylaws “A person, animal, activity or circumstance causing an unreasonable interference with peace, comfort or convenience of another person whether or not that person is in a public place” Which one supersedes the other? As a long term local I have had the pleasure of seeing and hearing many talented people whether it be at performing arts, talent shows, comedy nights, live music and for the most part a diverse range of buskers

Flat Earth. Court Case. Click bait. Recently a local journalist published an article on the Herald that highlighted two Queenstown locals amidst a ridiculous court case of he said, nah, he said. To save yourself 5 -10 minutes of your life, I will give you my hypothesis because it is truly not worth the time of day to read this. Two male stoners, squabbling about whether the earth is flat or not. One wholeheartedly believes it is and puts $10,000 bid on the line, both shake on it with a vague understanding that neither party obviously have this amount of money on hand. Yet, one of the culprits are stubborn on the bet, the other adamant on their view. After a couple of taunting encounters it evoked a flippant threat to kill

to be viewed as a public service, not a money-making venture. Bail it out; and then subsidise accordingly to make it buoyant. It might not be plain sailing to begin with but look at the bus network: a 180% increase in patronage in its first two years of being subsidised! $2 bus is a great start, but it will sink in isolation, particularly as traffic gets worse and worse. But if combined with a subsidised ferry it creates a more comprehensive public transport network and actual transport choices - not to mention the most beautiful commute you could ever ask for. And you can take your dog! Take the Lake.
What really annoys me, is when these tourist attractions in Queenstown (gondola, earnshlaw etc.) Take your picture at the beginning and then at the end they print them ALL out and charge an extraordinary amount. When you say no, THEY BIN IT?????? You might as well just give me it?! Or don’t print them all out? I don’t understand!!!!!! First Trump Then Brexit, now New Zealand Bird of the Year. Is there no vote those meddling Russians won’t touch? Can you impeach a penguin? RE: ‘Jigsaw’ Editorial It starts with how we bring up children...NZ is a VERY violent society, and children are actively encouraged to be staunch and violent. Take for example Kapa Haka and the haka itself... extremely violent, and children aged under 5 years old are performing it, and are encouraged to do all the violent actions with great gusto... 4Godsakes. Can somebody please reply to this! Measles Making a Comeback. Whinge signoff: P.S. Vaccines don’t cause autism, the Earth is not flat, Trump is not the Chosen one, climate change is real, and 1080 saves native birds. Ok? #science Mic drop. Unsudoku Last two weeks have had typos or unfinished drafts published. I looked for which of the two 4’s was wrong in #715. I should have taken the top 5 as set. Still managed to solve it but the 8’s and 9’s of the middle horizontal sections wound up interchangeable. I feel cheated!

Merry Christmas Everyone! It’s always a great time of year to stop and think about what’s important and with lots of travel recently on my council e t ee oo o ort t to re ect o the th I’m grateful for.

re ct fir t foremo t m f m re me Victoria couldn’t have been more supportive as I undertook another term in the mayoralty – a job that means often away or otherwise engaged. Thank you for being my team, arohanui. Secondly, I feel so blessed to have that unique combination of best place and best people right here in our district. A great example was this year’s long term locals party. Organised by Simon Hayes and Chris Campbell, the party bought together some of the great contributors to our community. With funds leftover from the nominal door charge and after an absolutely fantastic evening, Simon and Chris made a donation to the Central Lakes Family Centre of over $8,500! We look after each other and know the value of community here. It’s a very special thing. Finally, I’d like to say how grateful I am for the hardworking team at QLDC. It’s often not an easy job. From experience I know its near impossible to meet with friends, go to the supermarket or even go for a run without talking council business. Staff at council largely choose to work there to make a contribution towards the betterment of our district, if you get a chance give them a smile, a handshake or a thank you. It’s been a pleasure to live and work with you in 2019 Queenstown. Go well in the new year.

Christmas brings with it one of the happiest times of the year. One of my favourite parts of Christmas is seeing so many smiling faces. Recently I had the honour of cutting the ribbon to launch Queenstown latest tourism attraction, Richard’s Historic Walks recently. What a fantastic initiative that is both educational and another tour in our wonderful town. The biggest smiles though are on the faces of children posting letters to Santa or even seeing him make appearances in stores throughout the electorate. Remember the biggest gift you can give your children is time. Another gift that goes a long way is donating to our local Salvation Army, or food donation boxes at your supermarkets this holiday season. Christmas is a time of giving and here in Queenstown, we are even more inclined to give in a time of need. All we have to do is look back on the protest march I organised last year for Sam Wijerathne, Dinesha Amarasinghe and their boys to see how supportive our community is when it is needed. We fronted up in our hundreds because we care about each other and our community. I encourage you all to donate in some way if you can. This way we can ensure there is food on the table this Christmas. Our organisations like the Salvation Army, Baskets of Blessings, and more do such a wonderful job at this time of year. While we all reflect on 2019 there will have been highs and lows. I look back on a year filled with achievements, many smiles and am already looking forward to what 2020 holds. Take this time and spend it with those nearest and dearest and make sure there are many smiles. Again, happy holidays and I can’t wait to advocate for you in

For the world’s scientific community, every year brings a number of learning events. In space, solar and lunar eclipses, periodic meteor showers, and various planetary and stellar alignments open short windows of time allowing the study of specific parts of the universe. In the biological world, regular migrations of animal species and annual changes to plantlife teach us about life on Earth. And our understanding of how our own world works are helped every year by studying seasonal changes in weather, climate, and ocean systems.

Important Notice I was traveling along the esplanade on my motorcycle towards Fernhill round about on Saturday 14 December 2019 at 11am. There was a Juicy rental car (while hatch back) in front of me doing 30/40km, as they approached the roundabout they indicated right and started turning right, then they changed their mind and veered left, unfortunately it did not end well for me. As I layed on the ground with the bike pinned under my right leg and my ankle facing 90 degrees in the wrong angle. What made it worse, watching the car drive off. I’d like to thank the person in the white van behind me and the two Canadians who assisted me off the road. They went out of their way to help a stranger in need. My right ankle is broken and will require surgery. The Chinese driver came back 10 mins later to say sorry and would pay for the damages. I’ve been unable to track the driver down as they were leaving the country. I need to contact the driver of the white van for the police investigation. Any help would be much appreciated! Darrell McFarlane, 0210770552.
But for more than a few scientists, the most wonderful time of the year is the one almost upon us, Christmas Eve. The manipulation of spacetime - amongst other physical, biological, and sociological laws - used by Santa Claus is far beyond anything we currently understand. This gives us a tremendous opportunity to learn about ourselves and our universe, if we’re clever enough to see what Santa shows us. To do this, in the 1950s a secret organisation was set up starting with the United States and Canada- called NORAD. NORAD’s secret mission is specifically to track Santa’s flight around the world, so that perhaps we could learn to fly so extraordinarily fast, with hardly any pollution (just the usual generated by nine reindeer), and carrying such huge cargos in a vehicle so small. Or, perhaps Santa’s sleigh and sack only seem small from the outside - that’s one of the things scientists might study. NORAD set up, and continues to develop, a huge worldwide network of ground based radar and tracking stations, satellites in space, and even some of the world’s fastest planes. On Christmas Eve they use this network to track Santa’s flight (they find other stuff to keep themselves busy for the rest of the year). A few years ago their secret mission was discovered, so they now publicly share some of the information they gather. Other information they still keep classified, such as the specific location of Santa’s home village and base of operations. After all, just like the rest of us, no one at NORAD wants to end up on Santa’s nauighty list. Also still classified is whether or not the new space tracking station in Central Otago, just outside Naseby, is a part of the Christmas Eve Santa Tracking Network. When asked, they would neither confirm nor deny, so that sounds like it might be. NORAD have put a lot of their unclassified Santa materials online - including some fun activities - and all through Christmas Eve will have a live feed of Santa tracking updates. It can be found at www.noradsanta.org

U.S. TEENAGE SPRINT CAR SENSATION RACING AT HEAVY TRAX HIRE CENTRAL MOTOR SPEEDWAY DEC 28 & JAN 1 By Ross Lindsay
Last season’s huge crowds at Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Speedway’s Christmas and New Year’s meetings couldn’t believe their eyes. A 17 year old American outdriving the country’s sprint car legends to ultimately go on to win the 2018-19 NZ Sprint Car Title. Even more jaw-dropping was hearing that Buddy started his racing career as a five year old in outlaw go-karts and first raced a sprint car at just 11 years of age, winning his first race at 13. Now just turned 18 and after a successful summer season in the States, Buddy’s back at Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Speedway to compete in the Dec 28, 2019 and Jan1, 2020 meetings. He’ll then be defending his 2018–19 Ruapuna Sprint Car Gold Cup Title on January 3 and 4. After a short stay in Te Anau with New Zealand host, mentor and longtime Central Motor Speedway sprint car ‘t’ driver Daniel Anderson, Buddy jets back to the States on January 9th to race a midget for Keith Kunz Motorsport, Toyota Racing and Mobil 1 in the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals. Described as speedway’s equivalent to football’s Super Bowl, the meeting runs from Jan 13 through to Jan 17. It comes as no surprise Buddy has added midgets to his driving repertoire.
“The fact he’s here at all says a lot about his popularity in his adopted New Zealand home town of Te Anau. For helping make it happen, big thanks must go to Te Anau businesses, Fairview Windows, Top 10 Holiday Park and Ranch Bar & Grill. Buddy will be racing the same sprint car that took him to the NZ Title with the 900 horsepower motor rebuilt by Greg Hiddleston in Christchurch.” December 28 and Jan 1 sprint car racing launches a new competition, the Civil Construction Sprint Car Pairs where besides Buddy and on Dec 28, NZ WRC rally ace Hayden Paddon, will be local sprint car legends including King of Cromwell Jason Scott, Slammin’ Sam O’Callaghan, Nathan ‘Hitman’ Astle, Josh ‘Baby Buck’ Buchanan, Mark ‘Tapanui Flier’ Evans, Whetu ‘Winged Warrior’ Taewa and close to 20 more. But it’s not all sprint cars with big fields of other classes and more than a few class champion drivers including three time New Zealand Super Saloon champion Mark Osborne who will be competing in the Dec 28th Christmas meeting. Always a crowd favourite, a gang of street stocks will be biffing and bashing both nights.
“Like thousands of his New Zealand sprint car fans, I know Buddy is gutted contractual responsibilities in the US won’t allow him the time to defend his NZ Sprint Car Title in Palmerston North on January 10th and 11th ,’ explains Daniel. ‘In a way this makes Buddy’s appearance at Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Central Motor Speedway an even more exciting opportunity to grab hold of.

Finally some relief in the jobs market!! While the market remains extremely tight the peak period for the year seems to have been reached in October and is now slowly easing off. Summary • The number of roles advertised in November decreased 120 from October according to the November JobFix advertisement index report. • The overall number of open roles were down 13% on last year. • The moving quarterly average also declined by 1% • The Tourism services sector including F&B and accommodation showed the biggest declines. • All of this is good news for employers especially if the trend holds up. The jobs market remains extremely tight, however the peak period for the year seems to have been reached in October and is now slowly easing off. December and January are expected to remain strong months before demand dips significantly heading into the shoulder season, but employment conditions are returning to a more ‘normal’ level, if there is such a thing in Queenstown. Early next year the market should become a more employer friendly employment market as the summer and Chinese New Year markets subside mid quarter one.
ARE YOU THE ONE
?

In November the number of roles being advertised eased back by 13% from last November and dropped a similar percentage from October ‘19. All the major sectors eased, most notably the food and beverage job postings decreased significantly across the quarter [-14%].

Queenstown Market Update 88 Sales were recorded in November with a median sale price of $888,875 which is a slight decrease on last year’s statistics. The average number of days on market has increased to 52 from 36.5 last year. Although there is still a lack of listings on the market, interest rates are low, and we are seeing more confidence which the market is starting to react to and is likely to be causing an increase in sales. Looking across the wider Otago region saw a record median price of $540,000. Disclaimer: Data sourced from REINZ. Data encompasses Queenstown and Arrowtown Wards.
“Donna was super helpful while deciding on which method of sale I was going to take. Her advice and market knowledge was invaluable, resulting in a very quick sale. Donna also helped with my onward property search and giving peace of mind. I would highly recommend Donna if you are considering selling.”
