ENQUIRIES@LWB.CO.NZ
Is Queenstown still the welcoming place it once was? For a community that can be so generous and considerate, it’s discouraging to see the plethora of comments on Queenstown Trading with veiled racism and xenophobia, after the last few week’s road accidents. As a second-generation immigrant to Canada, I grew up in the vast pool of multiculturalism that was the Greater Toronto Area. When I left, I had hoped to find a place that would make me feel just as welcome. Queenstown had been the answer for the last five years however recently, I’m not so sure. The negativity being hurled at “foreigners” on Facebook is disgusting, and it is disheartening to see the amount of support for some of these sentiments. When people leave comments such as “Tourists from 3rd world countries…”, “…Foreign F***tards” or “Another CHINESE OPERATED BUS” on a public Queenstown forum, I have no choice but to second guess who I thought my kind neighbours were. Has this place I’ve chosen to live not actually been all that accepting of me? Perhaps the praise I’ve given to friends and family about the kindness of Queenstown locals was a misjudgement. It should not be okay to share racially insensitive Youtube videos on a Queenstown community page in jest. What message does this send to those from other countries who have just recently settled here?

On the post regarding last week’s bus incident, where is the concern for the 20 people injured? Had this been a bus full of locals, would the comments have read differently? Would we still be demanding to see the bus driver’s licence? Who counts as foreigners? I understand the frustrations towards the amount of accidents on the roads. I do not however, understand the shameful manner in which people have set out on a “us” vs “them” parade, making those from Asian decent living in Queenstown feel inferior and uncomfortable in a place that they have chosen live. Look around you. Queenstown is full of “foreigners” from all over the world. People come here with stories of their own, meet and discover new cultures, develop new ways of thinking, learn things, indulge in food, art and community. Plastering hate speech – and yes, I do refer to it as hate speech – all over a community forum does nothing but make people feel excluded and outcasted. It doesn’t matter that these comments are directed towards tourists. The words are there, the words are hurtful, and they speak volumes against the ethnicities in which they attack. A sad feeling to have after having been enamoured with a place I was so eager to call home. Christine Law - Local Resident

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
Is it really the last week in January already? I’m 60 this year and 60 has always seemed a million years away. Suddenly this is THE year and D-day is fast approaching. I just don’t feel mature enough to be that age. I was at Zac and Olivia Darby’s utterly brilliant wedding on Friday and dithering about whether to sit down to watch the ceremony or stand on the edge of the world (the wedding was high up on Glencoe Station on the Crown Terrace). A very handsome young man saw my dithering and leapt up to offer me his seat, but I had decided the edge of the world had the edge. “Thanks so much, but let one of the oldies have it”, I said and moved off. I had completely forgotten I AM one of the oldies. My husband is even older than me and our children delight in reminding him that when he was 20 I was only eight. On Saturday we were invited to what my darling calls a “children’s party” - a 50th. All I remember of kids’ parties when I was little is bossy mothers insisting we pass the parcel properly and not cry if we didn’t get a seat in musical chairs. Not a bossy mother in sight (apart from me) and no evidence of any rules about behaviour at Nicoll’s excellent bash - happy birthday, dear Nicoll! And a birthday that should have been celebrated, but wasn’t was Arrowtown Montessori Preschool’s 25th birthday in October. We had a mini reunion at the Fork and Tap to say goodbye to Alison Douglas who is retiring and moving to Geraldine. Plans have been made to have a BIG celebration in 2024 - if any former pupils or teachers or parents want to be invited, do please email me. The much cleverer, much younger current staff have even logged the date into my phone calendar to remind me nearer the time. My cruel family often tease me about my column they think it should be called “Pollyanna Gushes” or “Saccharine News”, but really it is so much more fun to talk about the wonderful things that happen here. There are plenty of big problems in our beautiful part of the world and we can’t solve them all. If something is really worrying you, get in there and help. You can help your neighbour with their naughty children, fundraise or volunteer for a community group or charity, help lobby for change at local and national level. Doing good really does you good.

Our first tip…never put them in your rubbish or recycling wheelie bin! Batteries can be damaged during the collection process which can cause them to combust. This is particularly the case for Lithium ion batteries such as those in cell phones, laptops, power tools, e-bike batteries and other rechargeable items. You can tell if it’s a lithium ion battery because it’s normally marked Li-ion. Many types of batteries can be dropped off for recycling at the Wakatipu Recycling Centre and Wastebusters. For more details on how to responsibly dispose of your used batteries, head to www.qldc.govt.nz/hazardous-waste

Queenstown based builder and staunch bred Irishmen, Brendan Mulcahy, loves to throw a party For Brendan Mulcahy of Kingston, putting on a party was a social hobby as well as a charity service. Dedicating time and more often than not, his own money, to make an event come together. After continued practice and positive re-enforcement from his friends Brendan took a leap into the unknown, to throw a party for everyone with the heartfelt aim of raising money to support others. He knew Queenstown could generate money and was aware of families and individuals in need and struggling for support. After a successful pitch to Kingston farmer, Tim Taylor, he had a venue for the first King Beats with enough space to make his festival dream possible. King Beats Charity Festival had it’s first day out in 2015. Now in its 5th year, King Beats Charity music festival keeps growing and growing. They’ve donated over $40,000 to worthy organisations like Kids Can, Ronald McDonald House South Island and Garston School. And the acts are getting bigger too. The 2020 line up boasts headliner ‘Kora’, who haven’t played in Queenstown in about 8 years. They’ve even managed to lock in the ‘Slacks’ from Taranaki and ‘Tullara’ from across the ditch With the community at heart, the festival also shares the stage with up incoming musicians from the region. Wakatipu High School band ‘Haven’ is set to play this year along with local reggae favourites ‘Turtle Funk’ and as the sun goes down ‘DJ Jang’ and ‘Electric Rush’ will bring night tunes for the moths to dance to. Its a day which draws a crowd to Kingston with the heartfelt vibe of partying for a good cause. They’ve even opted to be environmental conscious by making this event ‘glass free’. To continue the progressing the festival needs 2000 tickets sold this year. With only a handful of helpers, Brendan has called out to the public for their support “We need all the help we can get. We just need more people to come and check it out. I have often been told it’s the best day of the year.” To support this great local event, visit the Facebook page or kingbeatsfestival.com to get your tickets.

Neighbours at bnb War Once upon a time, I lived in a quiet residential area. Occasionally, the neighbours would throw a party or next door’s kids would get a bit over-excited (and noisy) during the school holidays... but it was an ordinary, quiet residential street and we all lived together peaceably. In the last few years, these families have left town and several properties have become holiday rentals. The house next door is now owned by boomers who rent the house out on AirBnB. We are not unreasonable people, we enjoy a good party and understand that a little noise is normal in a neighbourhood – but next door’s guests always seem to be celebrating a special occasion and forget about their residential surroundings. The doors get flung open, the music gets cranked up and we suffer through the night listening to crap conversations and crap music.
Our solutions are limited. 1. Call noise control and wait over 40 minutes to get the party shut down 2. Reason with the owners. Problem here, is they don’t think there’s much of a problem. They’re not here and the cash must be rolling in, so they don’t care. 3. They added a line to their AirBnB description saying noise must be lowered after 10 pm– but who actually follows that? The problem is that it shouldn’t be that loud in the first place. How can you enjoy the conversation or the music if it’s dialled up to the max? Talking to council gave us no hope. The only source of action is to continue to calling noise control until they have a record. The suffering continues so we’re now dreaming up retaliation options. Does anybody have any good ideas? Loud music wake up call?

LAKES WEEKLY BULLETIN
War on wildings deserves more funding by Karen Williams, Federated Farmers biosecurity spokesperson
As Finance Minister Grant Robertson ponders what to put in his Budget in May, understandably his mind – and those of his fellow Cabinet ministers - will be on the election later in the year. It’s not an issue that necessarily captures voters’ attention, but let’s hope they remember to allocate some extra millions to a scourge on the land that has severe environmental and economic impacts – wilding pines. Wilding pines are trees that have self-seeded from wind-blown cones from plantation forests and shelter belts. The NZ Wilding Conifer Group, on which Federated Farmers is represented, estimates that wilding pines affect at least 1.8 million hectares – almost 6% of NZ’s land area. They spread fast; left unmanaged it has been estimated that within 30 years they would cover more than a quarter of our landscape. Wilding pines take the sunshine, water and nutrients other plants need to grow and then quickly become the dominant species. Land that is adversely affected by wilding pines includes farmland, recreational land, sites of cultural and historical importance, as well as New Zealand’s unique natural environment. Wilding pines can irreversibly change some of our threatened and rare ecosystems, meaning that once an area is invaded by wilding pines, it can be difficult to return it to its original state. If you’re not moved by the environmental arguments, consider the fiscal impacts. Wilding pines can decrease the amount of water that flows into rivers by 30% to 40%. They use so
much water they are a significant threat to irrigation and hydro-electricity generation. A recent cost-benefit analysis found that if left unmanaged, wilding pines will cost us $739 million by 2050 just in losses in productive land, and another nearly $3 billion from losses in irrigation and hydroelectricity potential. Fortunately, we are fighting back against this ‘wrong tree in the wrong place’. A programme led by Biosecurity New Zealand, working with the Department of Conservation and Land Information New Zealand, spent $16 million between 2016 and 2019 to control wilding pines on 1.5m hectares of some of our most vulnerable iconic landscapes. The NZ Wilding Conifer Group has warned that if this work is not followed up to remove remaining wildings before they mature to seed production age, the money spent to date may be wasted and the opportunity for wilding extermination missed. Kudos to the Government. It awarded an extra $10.5m for each of 2019 and 2020 for the national wilding control programme. As Federated Farmers said at the time of the Budget 2019 announcement – that’s very welcome but it’s not enough. To win the wildings battle, the war chest needs to be more like $25 million a year and not limited to two years. By some estimates, it’s a $250 million problem growing at 20 per cent per year. DOC research shows that expenditure on wilding pine control is very cost effective. This is because wilding pines do not produce cones until they are very visible, allowing detection and removal before further spread is initiated.

Also, wilding pine seed does not last more than a few years in the soil, so there is no long-lasting seed bank which can germinate and cause reinvasion many years after control is undertaken. Work is underway by forestry companies on planting buffer trees with a low seed spread risk. There is also debate on the potential use of gene-editing to ensure the plantation trees we plant for wood production are sterile and don’t spread. Doing the control work on wilding pines now is an investment in the future. The NZ Wilding Conifer Group has calculated that increasing funding for wilding conifer control to $118 million over four years will result in a net benefit of $6.1 billion. The ratio of benefit to cost for this level of investment is 38:1. They’re surely some numbers that should make the eyes of a Finance Minister light up.

Arts+Culture It’s happening: Snowboxx comes to Cardrona After a false start in 2019, Europe’s biggest winter music festival, Snowboxx, is set to make its Southern Hemisphere debut. The popular snow sports, music and après ski extravaganza is heading to Cardrona this September. It’s held annually in Avoriaz, France and this is the festival’s first foray into the Southern Hemisphere. In 2018, it was announced Snowboxx would be hosted the following year by Queenstown’s Coronet Peak and the Remarkables ski areas. But the dates of the 2019 festival clashed with Winter Pride and organisers say there simply wasn’t enough accommodation in the resort town to host both festivals at the same time. Now the festival’s set to move over the hill, this time clashing (nicely) with Cardrona’s 40th birthday celebrations and the extension of the ski area’s offering with the acquisition of Treble Cone late last year. The festival will also have a little local help this time – with Wanaka-based Rhythm and Alps festival organiser Alex Turnbull on board as a shareholder and director of the New Zealand edition of Snowboxx. Alex says he went along to the French version in March 2019, to get a feel for the festival. “It’s a really good offering. But we want to do something different here. The landscape is our point of difference.” He adds that Cardrona-raised snow sports star Jossi Wells, who runs the annual Jossi Wells Invitational snow sports event, will also have a hand in the festival. “We have four really strong brands working together. The event will be spread over one week and there’ll be a purpose-built event stage at Cardona’s learners’ area. There’ll be aprés ski events and we’re looking at doing satellite events across the region (we may look at some in Queenstown and just this morning we were discussing the possibility of a comedy event). The details are still to be determined, but I think we’ll have a good idea of the line up in about a month.” Previous events have featured the likes of Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx and Stormzy – the festival’s reputation clearly precedes it as Alex says there’s already been 7,000 registrations of interest so far. Packages include seven nights of accommodation in Wanaka and a festival wristband, starting at $440 per person. “It’s going to be great, not just for the region, but for New Zealand. It’s a strong offering at a quieter time of year.” To register and find out more visit snowboxx.nz.

Art News Special art show planned for Queenstown An art show featuring “as many practicing Queenstown Lakes/Central Otago artists as we possibly can” is currently calling for submissions. Organised by artist Marc Blake, who’s behind 5 Mile’s Queenstown Contemporary gallery, is hoping to bring together as much of the region’s artistic talent as possible. Titled ‘Queenstown Art Now’, he wants the show to be a snapshot of the region’s art scene at the beginning of a new decade. There is no theme, curation or selection process, only the guidance that the artwork submitted must represent the artist’s current practice. The artworks will be for sale and subject to a commission. For more information, and to register to take part, email info@ qtcontemporary.com ASAP.

Spend the day in Cromwell
View of the Cromwell Heritage Precinct next to beautiful Lake Dunstan
By Marion Low, Cromwell & Districts Promotion Group Cromwell is full of so many amazing activities and sights, it can be hard to decide what you should do first. If you only have one day in Cromwell, here is a fun itinerary to give you a taste of what the town and district can offer. One day in Cromwell 1. Eat a Cromnut Start your morning at the Cromwell Bakery in the Mall with a delicious coffee and a Cromnut. Get them while they’re hot and fresh – and while there are still in the cabinet! They get snapped up pretty quickly, so make sure to call ahead and order when coming with a big group. Cromwell Bakery, 73 The Mall, 03 445 1178 2. Visit Highlands With your caffeine fix sorted, head to Highlands to get your adrenaline fix. Challenge your mates to a round or two of go-karts, race around the track at 180 km/h in the Highlands Taxi, and visit the Highlands Museum for an amazing display of NZ and international motoring history. Highlands, Corner SH6 and Sandflat Road, 03 445 4052 3. Lakeside lunch at Armando’s After a morning spent whizzing around, you will be ready to take things slower during lunchtime. Take a stroll through the Cromwell Heritage Precinct and then take a seat at Armando’s Kitchen for some of the best, authentic Italian food in the region. Armando’s Kitchen, 71 Melmore Terrace, 03 445 0303 4. Four Barrels Walking Wine Trail No trip to Cromwell will be complete without sampling some of the wines the region has to offer. A fantastic way to explore Cromwell’s wines is going on the Four Barrels Walking Wine Trail. The 8 km loop track starts at Mischa’s Vineyard, takes you along Lake Dunstan to Aurum Wines, along the backroads and farmland to Scott Base, and then back again to Wooing Tree Wines. The trail can easily be completed in 3 hours (including tastings), but the cellar doors can also be visited via car if the day is proving a bit short. Search: Four Barrels Walking Wine Trail Cromwell may be a small town but the attractions are popular – especially in the summertime. It is always a good idea to call ahead to the attractions you are planning on visiting to book your spot and to double-check opening hours.
Helpful Advice Quick Service Quality Result We also stock an affordable range of giftware, framed prints & baby gear 25 The Mall, Cromwell • Phone 03 445 4595 www.creativeframing@xtra.co.nz John, Bron and Jamie would like to take this opportunity to thank the Queenstown and surround locals for playing at Paintball Central in Cromwell and returning time and time again.

Waitangi Back-to-Back at Central Otago’s Fastest Family Show on Earth By Ross Lindsay It really does seem the sensible thing to do. With Waitangi Day on Thursday, February 6, give yourself a four day weekend by taking Friday off. This, of course, means you’ll be able to make the most of two action-packed back-to-back meetings at Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Speedway.

Friday, February 7, is itself a double header with around 16 methanolgulping, flame belching Super Saloons competing in round 4 of the 2019 – 20 Mag & Turbo Super Cup plus some 60 production saloons from all over the country competing on Day 1 of the Friend Forestry 2019-20 New Zealand Production Saloon Championship.

Daily 6am–4pm Fab food, barista beverages and the best views in town.
Saturday, February 8, the action continues with the productions champs final and lots of fast, exciting racing by other classes. Gates for trackside parking open both days at 4pm with racing starting at 6pm. For anyone put off by the weather forecast on Saturday, January 11, and like the predicted rain, stayed away from the Ray Stewart 70th Birthday Super Saloon 70 Lapper, Friday is their chance to see scorching the Cromwell clay 70 lap winner Ian Burson (3NZ), Terry Soper(8d) who was one of only four to pass Ray, and of course Ray (34t) himself as well as ace super saloon drivers that include Trevor Elliott(27c), Peter Dickson(11t) and many more.
From 11am Fri/Sat/Sun From 2pm Mon- Thurs
With their highly sophisticated custom-built space frame chassis and full race V8 motors putting out between 700 and 800 horsepower, super saloons can cost north of $100,000. Well south of that, around $2000 can buy a competitive production saloon which is basically a striped out, roll-caged pretty much end of the road Honda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Holden or Ford.

Amazing hunting lodge themed bar & restaurant. Huge comfortable outdoor area under shade sails.

CLOSE AND ENTHUSIASTIC RACING Central Motor Speedway track announcer Mike Sentch is among the ever increasing number who enjoy productions racing. “Personally, I think productions are underrated when in fact they provide drivers and spectators with close and enthusiastic racing. I also enjoy the range of cars racing, the increasing number of female competitors and range of ages from college students to pensioners. “I believe the 19-20 Production Saloon Championship coming to Cromwell is recognition by Speedway NZ of the tremendous support and effort Central Motor Speedway puts into productions. This is further endorsed by the 60 drivers from all over the country entering the championship.”

AUSTRALIAN ARTIST Jo Bertini studied fine arts at Sydney university in the 80’s and has been painting, writing, illustrating, printmaking, teaching and lecturing ever since. She’s lived and painted all over the world, and her award winning works hang in many important Australian galleries. When she comes to Arrowtown to run a painting workshop, she’s very kindly offered to give a slideshow and talk about her time living with the tribal Indians in India and the portfolio of paintings and weaving she did there. On top of all her artistic talents, she’s known as a very witty orator and this should be a memorable occasion. Come along to the ATHENAEUM HALL on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11. STARTING AT 10am on the dot. Finishing at 11:30am. Entry is free but a donation to the local CANCER SOCIETY would be greatly appreciated.

BLUES vs CHIEFS Friday 31 Jan - 5:05pm A couple of Kiwi teams on the rise in 2020. For the first game of the season, the result is anyone’s guess. Who’s got a coin? BRUMBIES vs REDS Friday 31 Jan - 7:15pm Can’t see the Reds improving anytime soon. The Brumbies are always there or there abouts so mark them down for a W this week. SHARKS vs BULLS Saturday 1 Feb - 4:10am You’d expect the South African sides to be good this year, after the Boks won the WC. However, the truth is that was a fluke, therefore expect the usual rubbish from their Super Rugby sides. SUNWOLVES vs REBELS Saturday 1 Feb - 2:45pm In their last year of Super Rugby, the poor old Sunwolves are a team with no future. That makes it hard to build a winning culture. CRUSADERS vs WARATAHS Saturday 1 Feb - 5:05pm I guess you can’t give a team zero percent chance of winning. But the Tahs will come close to the donut in this game. STORMERS vs HURRICANES Sunday 2 Feb - 12:05am The great unknown this year are the Canes. First up in South African can go either way. Coin please, I call heads. JAGUARES vs LIONS Sunday 2 Feb - 8:40am Last year’s finalists are looking solid again this year. At home the smart money will pick them 90% of the time.
Heart Kids Central Otago AGM Sunday 23rd February, 2020, 1pm Highlands Cafe, Cromwell All current members & prospective members welcome
Scott ‘The Truth’ Stevens
Chiefs, Brumbies, Sharks, Rebels, Crusaders, Hurricanes, Jaguares Scott is the sport and rugby guru at the Lakes Weekly Bulletin and a Hurricanes tragic. He won the Lone Star Super Rugby competition in 2016 the only time the Hurricanes won Super Rugby. No coincidence there!
Naomi Robinson
Chiefs, Brumbies, Sharks, Sunwolves, Crusaders, Hurricanes, Jaguares Naomi is not a rugby expert, and instead relies on luck and advice from her tipping comp contestants.
Justin Marshall
Crusaders, Chiefs, Brumbies, Sharks, Rebels, Crusaders, Hurricanes, Jaguares As a former All Black and current Sky Sports commentator Justin is probably the most qualified to win the whole comp.
Josiah Murray THE ORIGINAL TIPPING COMP
Blues, Brumbies, Sharks, Rebels, Sunwolves, Crusaders, Stormers A familiar face around town, Josiah is a long time club rugby player and passionate supporter of code. Back again after coming 3rd place last year.

Major survey launched to gauge workforce shortages in the region. For many businesses finding, training and retaining staff is their largest ongoing business issue. Workforce under employment is so pervasive across the Queenstown, Wanaka and Central regions that many sectors struggle to operate efficiently especially in the key holiday times. For some that means limiting the hours of operation or what services or products are available and for new business in the region it can be particularly problematic, leading to a delayed opening or staggered launch as owners and management completely underestimate the time it takes to find staff, get them onboard, to even open the doors. At the Lakes Weekly Bulletin and JobFix we hear about the struggle companies have in finding staff regularly, however there is shortage of hard data on the issues facing business in the region, that can help inform the planning process. Understaffing prevents businesses from reaching their potential and stifles growth in the region. JobFix, The Central App and Wanaka App along with the Queenstown Chamber of Commerce and Ignite Wanaka are working together, with the support of the Economic Development division at QLDC to call on all businesses to fill in a business survey that aims to fill in the gap in community knowledge around under employment and its economic impact.
Based on the feedback received, the stakeholders in the survey, aim to stimulate labour force planning and action, that while it won’t cure under employment it will certainly provide a data base across all parts of the region that will help business, council and chambers tactically improve how the region responds to what is one of the area’s largest business headaches. Links to the survey will be available on the Lakes Weekly Bulletin website and Facebook page, JobFix, Queenstown App as well as through The Central App and Wanaka App and through a major email communication being sent out this week. If you are a local business owner or manager responsible for hiring, please take the survey.
