So, what do you want, old problems or new problems? Who else feels schizophrenic over the jobs - environment - social wellbeing dilemma? I have a thousand voices in my head, pulling me one way, then the other. Twitter addiction doesn’t help. Say Donald Trump announces tomorrow that “medical doctors” have created a Covid-19 vaccine. Injecting a rare form of disinfectant works*. This can be mass produced. It will be called Trumpisan. We’d be happy, right? Thousands of lives will be saved, so of course we’d all be happy. In Queenstown, countless jobs and businesses would be saved. But, like Venice and other tourist hotspots, we’d get all our old problems back. Mass tourism would return and we’d be arguing about airport expansion, unaffordable accommodation, rental car roulette, traffic, water quality, emissions, rates, consultants, staff shortages, and a hospital built for a small mountain village. So what do you want, old problems or new problems? I’d take old in a heartbeat. Despite its relative social and environmental issues, this was, is, an incredible place. I want the buzz back. I want Luma, and WinterFest, people waiting at bus stops in ski gear, sunny afternoon beers, kids playing at the Bathhouse playground, and the rest. And I want people to be able to earn an income. But if mass tourism did return in an instance, it would also feel like an opportunity has been missed. A chance to “create a regenerative, zero emissions society based on our shared values: equity, diversity, respect for all life, honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the understanding we only have ONE planet”. Those words are from the excellent Southern Lakes Community Think Tank Facebook group, which has 543 members trying to thrash out a new future for Queenstown. It is fueling my topical schizophrenia. You might of course say that jobs v environment or even late-stage capitalism v environment is a fallacy, and they can co-exist. That’s the hope but so far I’ve seen little evidence of that. Even the goal of planting a billion trees has already received backlash from farmers. The Budget’s $1.1bn for environmental jobs are jobs funded by the taxpayer. Still, I think this community, with its innovative businesspeople, passionate environmentalists (some are both!) and committed politicians, can solve this conundrum on a local level. I’m a little concerned there are two recovery taskforces - one for the community, one for the economy. Having said that, Jim Boult’s Vision 2050, the Climate Change Action Plan, etc, seem to be on the right path. Mass tourism will likely return some day, quick vaccine or not. Hopefully by then we’ll have measures in place to protect the community and the planet, while allowing businesses to flourish. *Please don’t inject disinfectant.

News Round Up A summary of major local news stories by Paul Taylor
COVID-19: Southern district almost free of virus Today (Sunday May 17) the Southern district reported just one active COVID-19 case remaining. Out of the total 216 cases in southern, 213 have now recovered and two are deceased. Nationwide, New Zealand’s total COVID-19 cases crept up by one to 1,499 as one new case linked to the Rosewood Rest Home cluster in Christchurch was reported today. The new case is a household contact of an earlier case. An estimated 96 per cent of all confirmed and probable cases have now recovered. Today there are two people receiving hospital-level care for COVID-19 – one each in Auckland and Middlemore hospitals. Neither of these patients is in ICU. As there are no additional deaths to report today New Zealand’s total number of deaths remains at 21.
Sport scrambles to remedy confusion by Diana Cocks Mixed messages and tighter restrictions imposed by Sport New Zealand have caused confusion and disappointment as some local sporting codes cannot restart under new alert level two restrictions. Last week Sport NZ released COVID-19 alert level two guidelines which advised gatherings of up to 100 people were permitted. After the prime minister’s announcement last Monday (May 11), the guidelines were revised to gatherings of no more than 10 permitted, including players, coaches and officials. This means sporting codes which were gearing up to resume playing, such as rugby and hockey, cannot even practice. “I can only assume someone above Sport New Zealand had a change of heart,” Wanaka-based Sports Central community sports adviser Tiny Carruthers said. The original announcement caused clubs and coaches to get excited and hurry to prepare to play, he said but the following announcement on May 11 “caused disappointment for many.” “This is where the confusion has arisen,” he said. As a consequence, Sport New Zealand and the national sports organisations have been scrambling to get new guidelines agreed on circulated to regional sports organisations (RSOs) and clubs, he said. This restriction will be reviewed on May 25 but Sport Otago now doesn’t expect organised sport in Otago to resume until June 13. The new guidelines say: Subject to the range of public health measures, play, active recreation and sport, including contact team sports and physical activities, can resume under level two but only if fewer than 10 people are participating; reliable contact tracing is essential; and hygiene measures, particularly washing and drying of hands, and regular sanitising of equipment and surfaces must be in place.

Ski season get the green light Ski fields can now say with certainty that they are open for business this winter season. Industry executives have been working with the government to try to find a way to operate under Level Two conditions. Negotiations have proved successful with ski fields being granted an exemption to the alert level two 100 person limit. NZ Ski boss Paul Anderson and Cardrona Alpine Resorts general manager Bridget Legnavsky are celebrating the win. Under the new exemption, skifields will have no specific limits on the number of people that can be on the slopes at any one time - but there is still a series of guidelines that need to be met. Skifields are required to manage physical distancing, ensure contract tracing is in place and increase cleaning and sanitation requirements.
Sport Otago now has an approved Health and Safety booking template for any sport planning to use council facilities. “Clubs will be required to fulfil all the obligations around contract tracing, hygiene, etc before they can hire a facility,” Tony said. A web app from Sporty, named iDMe, has been recommended for contact tracing, he said, to make sure each club knows (or can identify) anyone who is participating in their activity, including players, officials and spectators/supporters, in case someone gets sick. iDMe provides a touch-free method for recording the attendance of all people at sports games and events which is free to all NZ sports organisations. iDme lets anyone use their own phone to enter their personal contact information (name, address, email, phone). They only need to do this once. This displays their contact details as a scannable QR Code on their phone. Meanwhile, most of the QLDC’s sport and recreation facilities reopened on the weekend.
Skifield restaurants and hospitality venues are still subject to hospitality requirements. NZ Ski and Cardrona have both stated the mountains will open for the season under these requirements.

Queenstown Airport reopens to flights
Chamber boss blasts the Budget
The resumption of domestic air travel is “a welcome step forward to recovery”, the QAC chief executive said.
Queenstown’s Chamber of Commerce boss says Budget 2020 presents yet more confusion and uncertainty for businesses.
On Saturday Queenstown along with the Southern Lakes region and the North Island were connected by air once more when Air New Zealand flight NZ1209 from Auckland touched down at Queenstown Airport at 2:13 pm.
Anna Mickell is disappointed with the measures announced by Finance Minister Grant Robertson yesterday and says the Government “can’t simply turn its back” on the country’s second biggest sector.
Last Thursday, as New Zealand transitioned to alert level two, Queenstown Airport welcomed back its first domestic service from Christchurch after 43 days without a scheduled flight. “We were thrilled to welcome domestic scheduled flights back to Queenstown Airport this week and the first flight from Auckland today,” Queenstown Airport Corporation (QAC) chief executive Colin Keel said. Colin said while it has been a very challenging few months for everyone, given the significant impact of COVID-19 on the aviation and tourism sectors as well as the broader regional economy, the local airport community remains strong, committed and resilient. “Bringing back domestic air travel to the area is a welcome step forward to recovery,” he said, adding it was heartening to hear from locals and domestic visitors that the alert level two health and safety protocols are working well. Queenstown Airport is a member of the New Zealand Aviation Coalition and has been working with other airports, airlines and government departments to ensure there are consistent health and safety protocols and processes in place to facilitate domestic air travel across the country. The airport is also part of a wider group working with the governments on both sides of the Tasman to reopen the border between New Zealand and Australia. Air New Zealand’s head of tourism and regional affairs Reuben Levermore said it’s great to be flying into Queenstown again. “We feel the pain that the tourism industry is going through at present, and the best thing we can do is to help get the country moving again. While we aren’t yet in a position to offer as many seats as we’d like, we will be building back our schedule in response to demand, and continuing to work alongside our partners in Queenstown and the wider region including Queenstown Airport, regional tourism organisations, and chambers of commerce to support winter tourism and the broader economic recovery.” At alert level two access to the airport’s terminal building is restricted to ticketed travellers and airport staff. The airport’s international terminal remains closed until trans-Tasman flights resume.
The Budget includes an eight-week extension to the wage subsidy and the establishment of a $400 million tourism recovery fund, part of a $50 billion Covid-19 rebuild fund. But there wasn’t any detail on direct support packages that businesses exposed to the international sector will need to survive until the borders can reopen. This morning, Robertson told Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking the details announced were only the start, and the Government would be working with industry on support packages and reforming the sector. “My initial reaction is, has he not heard that what we’re looking for is clarity?” Mickell told the Queenstown App. “Businesses cannot work without that. “What he’s offering us is more confusion about what the future holds. We need a much clearer view. “We would have really liked to have seen some support packages for businesses that are exposed to the international tourism sector. “We need a way for those businesses to hibernate until the borders are properly reopened. We didn’t get that in any shape or form.” Mickell says easy access to very low interest loans is the biggest need, and the Government’s $100k loan system hasn’t met that need. Robertson this morning also hinted at a third extension to the wage subsidy. Businesses that have lost 50% of revenue can access the eightweek extension. Mickell says the wage subsidy scheme effectively puts businesses in the “horrible position of having to administer social welfare support, because they know there’s nothing there at the end of eight weeks”. “If the intent is to provide social welfare assistance, it should be equitable. It shouldn’t be down to the situation of the employer that one person gets it while another does not. “Business has been so explicit about clarity and eight weeks for businesses in our neck of the woods is just more confusion.” She says the extension might save a few jobs temporarily, but will likely not have a great impact on the decisions of many businesses, especially those who’ve already began downsizing or indicated they will.
Budget 2020 • $50bn fund to deliver COVID response and economic recovery plan at centre of jobs budget • $4bn business support package, including targeted $3.2bn wage subsidy extension • $3bn infrastructure investment and 8,000 public house build programme to boost productivity and create jobs • $1.6bn for trades and apprenticeships training package • $1bn environmental jobs package PHOTO: The resumption of domestic air travel is “a welcome step forward to recovery”, the QAC chief executive said.

News Round Up A summary of major local news stories by Paul Taylor
Queenstown’s schools reopened yesterday morning as the town settles into life at Alert Level 2 Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced last Monday that the majority of businesses could reopen from midnight on Wednesday, May 13, and people could move about relatively freely again after a seven-week lockdown. Bars that don’t serve food won’t be able to open until this Thursday, however, to limit the chances of a second outbreak of Covid-19. By midday Thursday, Queenstowners were back at the shops, hairdressers, restaurants, gyms and playground, while hundreds milled around downtown and traffic returned to the roads. District mayor Jim Boult had celebrated the reopening of domestic tourism with a dawn bungy jump from AJ Hackett’s historic bungy bridge at Gibbston that morning. Hours later, the first turboprop Air New Zealand plane landed at Queenstown Airport from Christchurch - 43 days after the last scheduled flight. The first jet, Air New Zealand flight NZ1209 from Auckland from Auckland, touched down on Saturday afternoon, carrying 100 passengers. Airport boss Colin Keel and Air New Zealand’s Head of Tourism and Regional Affairs Reuben Levermore were delighted flights were landing and departing from Queenstown again. “We feel the pain that the tourism industry is going through at present, and the best thing we can do is to help get the country moving again,” Levermore says. “While we aren’t yet in a position to offer as many seats as we’d like, we will be building back our schedule in response to demand, and continuing to work alongside our partners in Queenstown and the wider region including Queenstown Airport, regional tourism organisations, and chambers of commerce to support winter tourism and the broader economic recovery.” Economic recovery was the major thrust of Thursday’s $50 billion Budget 2020, but it was criticised by many in the tourism industry and Queenstown Chamber of Commerce boss Anna Mickell for not providing enough help for businesses exposed by the lack of international tourist arrivals. At the weekend, thousands of Queenstown’s took the opportunity to get out in the sun and support local businesses, such as KJet, which ran a half-price special for locals, and Paddle Queenstown, which hired out its kayaks, paddleboards and Aquabikes at Queenstown beach for a gold coin donation. However, keen local and domestic support won’t be enough to protect Queenstown’s many businesses and their staff. As such, Boult and deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters separately urged temporary migrants to consider a return to their homelands. While Alert Level two is a returning to a much more normal life, there are still restrictions and in Monday’s address Ardern told New Zealanders to remember the golden rules: • Keep your distance from other people when you are out in public, including on transport. • If you’re sick, stay home. Don’t go to work or school. Don’t socialise. This should be a really low bar. • If you have symptoms of cold or flu call your doctor or Healthline immediately and get tested.

Madeline Chapman
Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern is a leader for a new generation, one tired of inertia in the face of pressing issues such as climate change, immigration and the rise of far-right terrorism. Ardern was catapulted onto the international stage with her grace and compassion following the Christchurch mosque shooting. Oprah Winfrey invited us to ‘channel our inner Jacindas’ as praise for Ardern flooded headlines and social media. In this revealing biography, journalist Madeleine Chapman discovers the woman behind the headlines. In her first press conference, she announced an election campaign of ‘relentless positivity’. The tactic was a resounding success: donations poured in and Labour rebounded in the polls. But can Ardern live up to her promise? What does her new style of leadership look like in practice? And what can we learn from the world’s reaction to this inspiring leader?

Don’t go to work or school if you feel unwell, and call your GP immediately. Keep washing those hands, and remember to sneeze and cough into your elbow. More on this at https://covid19.govt.nz/

We can resume many everyday activities now that we’re in Alert Level Two — but we have to do so safely. Most local businesses, cafes, restaurants and bars can open, and schools and early learning centres will be open too. You can also travel between regions, and attend social gatherings as long as you keep it to a maximum of 10 people for now. More on this at https://covid19.govt.nz/
A Landscape Plan for Jardine Park We’ve created a draft Landscape Plan for Jardine Park in Kelvin Heights and we want to know how you feel about it. The plan was set in motion following January 2019’s significant storm event in which Jardine Park was damaged, leading to community requests for an updated landscape plan with wind protection designs for the affected area. See the draft Landscape Plan and provide feedback at https://letstalk.qldc.govt.nz/draft-jardine-park-landscape-plan

Considerate parking We’re asking that you please think about others when parking in the Queenstown CBD. With shop owners, explorers and shoppers alike returning, it’s really important we all work to keep things moving, share spaces by getting in and out as quickly as possible, and by parking in the appropriate areas. We saw a few bad habits forming in Level Three. So, as a friendly reminder, it’s still not okay to park in a Loading Zone unless you’re loading or unloading goods, park in a mobility spot without the required permit, park in a Taxi Stand or Bus Stop, or on broken yellow lines.

WINNING WHINGE
FEEDBACK TO LAST WEEK’S EDITORIAL
It would be good to see LWB highlight the fact that kiwi workers, like myself, are being made redundant over less skilled migrant workers in our region. I have 18 years’ experience dedicated to New Zealand food, lead top kitchens around NZ, I am a qualified NZ work place assessor, father of one, been in this workplace 18 months and held one of two sous chef positions, the other has been a sous chef for 4 months. It’s unfair in every way and even more degrading to now have to seek support and it would be good to see you focus on this area that will slide under the table.
Scott, it seems like you jumped ship just in time from what is becoming apparent was just a QLDC Ponzi Scheme, which has resulted in millions of dollars being wasted on Consultants and Blue Sky Planning and for vanity projects, whose main objective was to further enrich the Big end of town. I think the QLDC attitude to ratepayers is best reflected in that majority of QLDC staff and Executive hightailed home on 100% pay while their contractors to still have to go to collect rubbish and undertake other responsibilities to keep the area operating and that many ratepayers still had to work at 80% of their wages or less to service their and community needs. Meanwhile, we have a Mayor who saw saws between trying to keep his big end of town mates happy by trying his level best to keep their low-cost labour pool in town, in the unlikely event things pick up. and asking for millions from central government for social and shovel ready projects that he must know a Labour government is never going to provide to Queenstown. It’s ironic that the Mayors mates repay him and the community that has enriched them by in many instances shutting iconic attractions and activities for an undetermined period of time, laying off their team members and doing a runner with hardly a whimper from our Mayor or Councillors.
How is this on the front page of the LWB? Your opinion piece about critcising what has been an overall incredible response, with the very real potential of genuinely pulling through and not having to head back into lockdown? Did you not listen and learn from what has happened in other countries, and do you not realise the huge benefit of being able to shake this virus the first time around? Yes, there will be pain. But it’s damn sight better than the alternative, yo-yoing back and forth between lockdowns and deaths. Or are we still all so stuck in our shortsighted Queenstown money hungry ways that we can’t look at the long term in anything anymore?
Fuzzy Wuzzy
It’s very nice that Queenstown businesses are being so welcoming to locals now. I think a two tier pricing system to look after NZ residents once the international visitors start coming back will be even nicer, perhaps then locals won’t get priced out again, just a thought.

Great Gary I agree Scott... lets open her up, bring it down, just like they have done in USA, Sweden, Spain and Italy... then in 3 weeks time, we can go back into panic mode when the second (and more lethal) wave hits us, and starts killing the kids as well as the old people... to hell with the vulnerable people in our society, we have got to get back to making MONEY MONEY MONEY like we used to... lets get those bars and nightclubs going again... to hell with the consequences Colonel Blimp

Alice Fay Scott, what you wrote is well said, very impressive and goes straight to the heart of the matter. Many of my business owner friends are appreciative of someone like you speaking their feelings in public, so I am writing this email let you know Tintin

Containers and Space for Rent
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
I’m writing this on our first day of freedom and it feels so GOOD! Lockdown hasn’t been the nightmare I’d expected and there are plenty of people who’ve enjoyed the peace and quiet of empty calendars and skies. There are a lot of very happy children and pets who have had far more cuddles and walks and games and fun with their family than normal. Many business people are hoping that the amount of travel they have to do can now be cut hugely since they’ve all got so adept at Zoom. If you’ve ever wanted to study, check out the universities - I know that Canterbury is doing all their lectures online now - students can still go to lectures if they want . I attended my first lecture this morning and it’s incredible actually better than being there - with one push of the button, my very fab Spanish lecturer could put us in groups of three to discuss something, then two minutes later, push it again and we are all back together to give our replies. All the worksheets are sent out, filled in, marked and returned online - so efficient - no travelling, parking, posting, couriering required! Just had to be careful my elderly husband didn’t go wandering past in his undies in case all those 20 year olds got nauseous at the sight. Zoom has a few downsides, and that would be a big one, especially at 9 am. The downsides for today’s Wakatipu are many and various and VERY stressful but there are lots of upsides - not least random acts of kindness -here’s a huge thank you to Hayden McCormick of Arthur’s Point. This superstar saw our mad and wonderful English friends who have a house near Glenorchy stuck at the Caltex station in QT. They’d accidentally filled up the car with the wrong breed of fuel on their way back to the top of the lake. The car needed to have the bad fuel drained out but it couldn’t happen that day, and lovely Hayden overheard the conversation and said he had a spare car he would lend them, and would take them back to his house to get it. He didn’t even want any money for it. If anyone knows Hayden, tell him to contact me, and I want to give him something delicious as thanks for being such a big hearted Queenstowner. Did everyone read the ex World Bank economist Ralph Hanan’s excellent essay “Queenstown’s Ponzi Growth Scheme”? I haven’t discussed it with any economists (I’m not sure I even know any) but it has struck a very loud chord with a lot of locals. Look it up online and see what you think - we’ve got a perfect opportunity to change the way we do tourism here and he outlines many of the reasons why change will improve our community. I’ve loved all the feedback from you this week - seems my mother is right and lots of people like a good forum for a whinge! Geoff Bradley rightly wondered whoever lit that bonfire at the Arrowtown end of Lake Hayes and filled our nice empty skies with smoke for a few days - what on earth were they burning? And if they did have a fire permit, how did they get it? Noone in council seemed to be answering any phones, and if they did, they weren’t able to answer any questions. Geoff also grizzled about the LWB being less satisfactory for toilet paper than another local newspaper. Geoff, there is masses of loopaper for sale in NZ - have you been living under a rock? Not rockman but The Rocket Man - look him up on FB - such delicious vegetables grown locally and fabulous value. And do go and support all your favourite businesses - most of them have worked so hard over lockdown to work out ways to please us more - they are definitely going to be needing our support. And the ones that don’t make the effort are simply not going to survive. Some businesses have spent doing lockdown doing nothing at all, and one I was at at 8 am today had a big crowd of joyful customers excited to be back there, only to discover their confirmed bookings were useless - they had forgotten to change their website to show that only half as many people could come. I won’t mention the business’ name but I hope they realise there’s no place for incompetence in this climate.

LAKES WEEKLY BULLETIN
LEGEND OF THE WEEK What’s your role? Owner / Operator of QT Booth - while working in the events industry in my previous sales & marketing role with Future Bars, I saw how many events were happening around QT on a regular basis and wanted to add a premium ‘out of the box’ entertainment option to the market. How long in QT and why did you choose to live here? Over 9 years! I came in Jan 2011 for 1 summer, then 1 winter and basically never left because of the lifestyle and the people. I am an outdoor lover, so easy access to the mountains, lakes and even the sea is what keeps me here. And I love the small-town vibes with just as many opportunities as you might have in a city. Recommended must-do activity in and around QT? Canyoning – Basically a water-park for able-bodied adults in our own backyard! Have your own look through the 12-mile canyon or go see Julz & Ross at Canyoning NZ, they’ll guide you through some epic canyons in the area. What has been your best/worst date? I’m now nearly 8 years out of the game, so I can’t event remember what it was like to go on a first date... What’s your favourite place to eat? Blue Kanu for a fancy night (go sit at the bar for great banter w/ the bartenders!) OR “street-food date night” on Ballarat Street - grab a burrito from Caribe and a salad from Hawker & Roll and chill on their outdoor tables. If you’re lucky, there may be a busker nearby to serenade you. What is your favourite season and why? Summer. Hands down. Less clothes, more daylight hours, heaps of delicious fruit for cheap and ALL the outdoor adventures.
Name:
Laura Palmieri
If you were an animal, what would it be? Does a mermaid count as an animal? If you had to describe yourself in 5 words, what would they be? Adventurous, Conscious, Playful, Curious, Growing What’s the best bad decision you ever made? Throwing caution to the wind and quitting my awesome, super secure job with great employers, to travel around the world for 3 months, then focus on growing my own small business. Not exactly the best for the bank account, or the ego, but it’s been an adventure and I’m always the first to put my hand up for one of those! I’m still figuring out what life is beyond my ‘career’, but doors continue to open & I’m excited to see what the future holds.. Who is your inspiration? I am lucky enough to have a number of very inspirational friends in my life who are always setting and achieving goals in their lives. I will always strive to achieve some big things in my own life, so I am constantly inspired by their drive and their perseverance. What is something you like to do that other people would probably consider “weird” if they knew? Ecstatic Dance - Imagine a group of people dancing like they’re higher than a kite, just minus the hard stuff. It’s amazing what some good music and a room full of open-minded dancing people can do to your dopamine levels. What’s your best piece of advice? Travel, follow that little whim that is nagging you to get up and move your body, and don’t settle into a grounded life before you enjoy the craziness of your youth. Enjoy it while you can, because one day you’ll wake up and discover that that time of your life is past and there’s no going back.

COMMUNITY NOTES Age Concern
Minigolf charity fundraiser Two long time locals have teamed up to do their bit for workers hit by COVID-19 by making a popular visitor attraction available for one last week. Graham Wilkinson is the owner of 34 Brecon Street and Nola Pratt has leased the minigolf operation at the address for the past 20 years. Wilkinson intends to develop a hotel on the land, so when the popular visitor attraction closed early due to COVID, Nola decided it was time to retire. But now she has agreed to re-open for one more week to let locals say their farewells and to help raise funds for Wakatipu’s Greatest Need, the charity set up to help those who have been significantly affected by the economic effects of the virus.
Tucked quietly away all over the district, there are a number of experienced locals with a wealth of knowledge to provide to the community. These locals, 65 years and older, have particular needs, which can easily be overlooked as everyone adapts to the changes from Covid-19. So, if can spare a few minutes, have quick chat to the elderly people around your neighbourhood, and check to see that they are OK. If they are not, let Age Concern know, as we provide support and information, and work with other organisations in the community to provide the best environment for our treasured elders. Age Concern is a bit of a ‘one stop shop’ for the elderly, and we provide information about everything from being safe in the community, preventing elder abuse, finding the right accommodation option, as well as understanding legalities and financial entitlements. Age Concern also administers the Total Mobility subsidised taxi scheme for people with limited mobility living in the Queenstown area.
“While in lockdown, I got plenty of calls from regular customers who were wanting to know if it would re-open. It has been one of Queenstown most loved attractions especially for families for years,” said Nola. “While it is time for me to move on, and I know the site will be redeveloped someday, I thought it was a great idea of Graham’s to open for one last week to give locals some inexpensive fun and help raise funds.” Wilkinson said the timing of his proposed hotel development would need to be reassessed in light of the new economic conditions, but in the meantime if he could help what is an essential charity, he was only too happy to assist. He said all the prices had been reduced to recognise how tight money would quickly become for families, and all proceeds would go to the fund.
FUN-RAISING CHARITY EVENT FOR EVERYONE!
Also, while we have been in our bubbles over the last couple of months, we have kept in contact with the outside world with Facebook and other forms of technology. For many older people, this has not been an option, and they have lost their normal means of keeping in touch with their social groups. However, ‘old dogs can learn new tricks’, and many older people have learnt to Facetime their friends and family. If you have time, perhaps you could try teaching the older people around your bubble how to use this ‘new-fangled’ technology.

The Lakes District Museum in Arrowtown was founded in 1948. The museum holds a huge repository of objects, photographs, papers, books and interviews relating to our history. It also has an attached public art space, a bookshop and research facility. The museum has for many years run a full time education programme and runs the Arrowtown Post Office. The museum is a charitable trust relying largely on its door charge and sales to survive. The ongoing future of this district institution is seriously threatened due to the need to earthquake strengthen its heritage buildings and the impact of Covid 19. David Clarke has been the museum’s long serving Director and likes to walk and bike the districts track and trails.
Bowen Peak - Named after Sir George Bowen, Governor General of New Zealand (1869-1873). It was possibly named by the Government Office following the visit of the Governor General to Queenstown in 1869. Ben Lomond (1751 metres) - Named after the Scottish mountain. The name was first bestowed on the eastern peak of the mountain and then later transferred to the western peak. It was named by Duncan MacAusland in 1861. He was a shepherd working for William Rees. It is known in Maori as Te Taumata o Hakitekura which means ‘The viewing place of Hakitekura’ and relates to a famous Maori woman Hakitekura who swam from the village of Tahuna (Queenstown) to Refuge Point at the bottom of Cecil Peak.
Even though we have all been in lockdown, one salvation has been our ability to get out and exercise in our beautiful environment. The autumn weather has been sensational and even as it turns cold you can rug up and enjoy the pure crisp air. The silence, punctuated by the prolific native bird song has added to the experience. This week I thought I would start a list of some of the place names in the district and talk about their origins. Ailsa Mountains - At the head of the lake these mountains were named by surveyor James McKerrow after Ailsa Craig, an island at the mouth of the Firth of Clyde in Ayreshire Mount Alfred - Mountain at the head of the lake. It is the triangular shaped mountain in the centre of your vista as you head towards Paradise. It was named after Alfred Duncan. Duncan was a farming cadet working for William Rees and looked after the Rees farm near Glenorchy. He was probably the first European resident of Glenorchy. Buckleburn - Named after a farm in Aberdeenshire owned by Alfred Duncan’s father. It was named on Duncan’s first expedition with sheep to the head of the lake. Caples River - Named after Patrick Quirk Caples, who explored the Greenstone, Hollyford and Dart Valleys in 1863 Cardrona Valley (and river) - Named by John Turnbull Thomson, the Chief Surveyor of Otago, After the river in Peebleshire near the Scottish Border. Crown Range - Named after a group of rocks at the summit that form a crown shape. Named by Rees in 1860. Rees and his fellow explorer Nicholas Von Tunzelman, crossed the range looking for suitable sheep grazing land. The road that links Wanaka to Queenstown reaches 1120 metres above sea level, making it the highest main road in New Zealand. Arthurs Point - Named after Thomas Arthur who along with Henry Redfern discovered gold on this part of the Shotover river in 1862. Their discovery led to a massive goldrush on the Shotover which was known as the richest river in the world Blanket Bay - Said to be from the fact that Rees’s first shearing was undertaken in a shelter made of blankets.

Arts+Culture Risks and High Wire: an interview with Lloyd Jones By Bethany Rogers - https://www.bgrogers.com/blog/2020/5/3/risks-and-high-wire-an-interview-with-lloyd-jonesnbsp
I’m a secret admirer of bridges. How could I not be, coming from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne? Seven great bridges cross the waters of the Tyne River, joining the city of Newcastle with the township of Gateshead. HIGH WIRE
“You have to be prepared for the possibility that it might not work. It is speculative. But in the case of High Wire, Euan had already done some work on bridges and quite coincidently I had thought it might be interesting to explore bridges metaphorically. And, as these things do, the conversation begins to shift and we end up with High Wire, which is supposed to characterise that space that art occupies.” Lloyd will invite others to walk the high wire and partake in this risk. There will be two projects each year in the korero series. Lloyd will match-make other artists and writers and ask them to bridge the gap and begin a collaborative, artistic conversation. AN EXERCISE IN TRANSLATION
It’s no wonder then, that I was excited to hear about High Wire, a new book about bridges and crossings by New Zealand writer Lloyd Jones and artist Euan Macleod. Wellington-based Lloyd writes his way across the Tasman to Sydney-dwelling Euan. Each harnesses their art to cross the waters between them and form a bridge.
Euan’s work is raw, “back-of-the-envelope sort of stuff”. Beautifully photographed by Michele Brouet, the scratchy pen marks, indentations and paper imbued with water and ink are expressive. They remind me of bridges in that they have the depth of something that’s taken many years to build, but the expression of journey that’s hurried and purposeful: a commute. They’re going somewhere.
It begins: I’d written to Euan Macleod proposing a project about bridges. He replied enthusiastically – and, over the coming months, sketches and drawings of bridges tumbled freely out of him. Published by Massey University Press and designed by Gary Stewart (The Gas Project), it’s the first in the ‘korero series’ – which invites collaborations between two different kinds of artistic intelligence, working on the same topic. High Wire also talks about another way to bridge gaps. Philippe Petit, the tightrope walker who famously tip-toed between the twin towers of the World Trade Center, crops up often. Lloyd seems in awe of the feat (who wouldn’t be), but there’s also a sickly sense of fear that comes through when Lloyd writes about bridging gaps, particularly at giddy heights. FEAR AND RISK The height terrifies, yet I am drawn to the edge – what to make of this curious temptation to throw myself off? […] It’s inexplicable. But there it is – a temptation with gravitational pull. My first question to Lloyd is: do you get vertigo? “Yeah… I think I probably do.” “I think anyone with an imagination falls a thousand times down a cliff face… why do you ask?” It’s that feeling, of wanting to be on the edge, but equally to feel dizzy and afraid at the thought of being on the edge, anything like the condition of being an artist? “That’s right,” he replies. “It’s hand in hand with the fear, or the possibility of falling. But unless you take on that fear, you won’t do anything interesting. You’ll never enter that new space that artists endeavour to get into. “It’s a glove and hand thing: you can’t have one or the other. If you want to go somewhere new, you must risk failure. And I think all artists with a soul will recognise that risk and reward of accepting failure as a possibility.” Lloyd goes on to describe the nature of collaboration. To be the first in a new series. To work with another artist on a new artistic endeavour.
“It’s almost an exercise in translation. He’s responding to my words, then in exchange, his drawing pulls me into something. That’s how it worked for us. “What happened with Euan and I was very much an organic thing. Then, the other piece of the puzzle is Gary Stewart, who’s down your way (in Central Otago). He’s a brilliant designer. Then all the pieces get thrown in the air and we have to assemble the thing. Dismantle it, reassemble it… take it down, make it up… the whole thing is being constantly made.” Euan and Lloyd have collaborated before. They worked with Ron McBurnie in creating ‘Hearsay’ – an unconventional artist’s book that’s around two metres long and one metre high. More sculpture than book, there’s only half a dozen of copies in art galleries, universities and libraries across Australasia. In a world where an overwhelming amount of content is blandly published online, I ask Lloyd if collaborating with visual artists, and creating texts intended to be enjoyed as tactile, almost sculptural artworks is the future of printed matter. “Texture… something being tactile… that connection with the paper is a sensual thing. A very different reading experience to reading online. It’s a different relationship. I just can’t read online. The problem is that the eye is asked to travel in a way in which it doesn’t naturally travel on a printed book. High Wire is set to be released on 14th May 2020 Cost - $45. Ask for it at your local book shop or Massey Press online.
