Gridlock: we’re all part of the problem; we have to be part of the solution

We sit in stationary traffic, seething. Kids miss exams because their bus is late for school. The delivery truck can’t make its’ schedule so three trucks split the round instead. You stand shocked at the bus stop when the half empty bus drives by because it’s running so late it doesn’t have time to stop. Your staff are late for their shift. Your customers are late for their reservation. You miss the start of the movie. Arguments on the way about leaving enough time. Kids crying. Living the dream. ‘Someone has to fix this’ you scream to anyone who will listen. Guess what? There’s no ‘someone’. No one’s coming. And it will get worse. The utopian vision of vertical take off Uber air is still a good while away. In this District we have perfected the ability to expect everyone else to solve our problems and then to dismiss any solutions as unworkable because our ‘issues’ are so unique. We are eager to offer our own response to problems, as long we don’t actually have to personally implement them. Experts in justifying why we can’t change our behaviour. But until we start to change our mindset and start to think about how else we might get around and change how we make our journeys, the problem will just get bigger and bigger and no amount of money that we might want to throw at it will make it go away - even if there was the money in the first place, which there isn’t.

Jase John, organiser of BeyondBOARD charity exhibition right, with Robyn and the team at Happiness House presenting the $1800 cheque. Happiness House and I Am Hope shared the $3,600 raised.

Like many present day issues, the enormity of the problem leaves us feeling overwhelmed. It’s just too big to tackle on an individual basis. It won’t make any difference. And therein lies the solution. If a large number of people just make a tiny change in what they do, it collectively makes a big impact. It’s not ‘someone’s’ job to ﬁx this. It’s ours. Just what would it take for us to:- not make the journey in the ﬁrst place/carpool/ stagger start times/walk/bus/bike/ferry/zoom meet/phone/use home deliveries/ shop on line? Try it. Just once. Maybe the sky won’t fall on your head. Of course the alternatives have to be reasonable, convenient, affordable, safe and we need to pin down what investment in improved services or facilities is going to have the greatest impact in enabling us to comfortably ditch the car or change how we get people and things around the place. So this week is a good time, as the school run rush grinds us to a halt, to ask two very powerful but simple questions. “What would it take?” and “How would that look?” John Glover Secretary – Shaping our Future Inc. Shaping our Future have a community led workshop on these issues on Thursday, 5pm at Remarkables Park High School

Housing Trust waiting list continues to grow despite rents reducing by Celia Crosbie

The waiting list for assistance from the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust (QLCHT) is continuing to grow despite COVID-19 resetting rental prices across the district.

“The breakdown of the waiting list reveals that housing issues are not just confined to families, but numerous demographics within the community. This is one key reason why we purchased the 50 one- and twobedroom Toru apartments in Remarkables Park. We will continue to ensure we provide a range of housing to satisfy the various cohorts on our waiting list.

Before the pandemic hit New Zealand shores, QLCHT had a waiting list of 600 qualifying households. This now sits at 740 households, despite the fact that rents have reduced by up to 30% throughout the district. On top of this, the Trust has housed 48 households in new homes over the past two months in its Toru and Hikuwai developments, in Queenstown and Wānaka respectively. Trust executive officer Julie Scott says the increase in requests for assistance is largely down to reduced incomes amongst many households across the district thanks to the impacts of COVID-19. “When the borders closed there was a huge effect on the local economy, and as a result we’ve seen a number of new households come on to our waiting list, who were not under housing stress previously. “Whilst the respite in rental prices has been welcomed by many, there’s a high number of residents throughout the district who have experienced either complete loss of income, or a partial reduction through reduced hours.” Scott says that about 50% of the waiting list is made up of families with children, while couples and singles comprise 30% and 20% of the waiting list respectively.

Safe, great tasting water for your home or workplace.

We have solutions to meet your needs.

About 80% of the waiting list is Queenstown-based, while the remaining 20% is Wanakabased. Established to manage and deliver affordable housing solutions to residents who cannot afford it, QLCHT has several programmes in place to help low-tomoderate income households including public housing, assisted rental, rentto-buy, and assisted ownership.

About the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust QLCHT is a not-for-profit social enterprise created to manage and deliver affordable housing solutions to those vital to the community who cannot afford it. Initiated by Queenstown Lakes District Council in 2007, which recognised the affordability issue and acted upon it, the Trust is an independent entity operating throughout the Queenstown Lakes District.

TECHNOLOGY GOOGLE DRIVE FOR DESKTOP NOW SYNCS TO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AFTER MAJOR OVERHAUL Google Drive currently has two different desktop apps. There’s the consumer-level Backup and Sync, and the enterprise-grade Drive for Desktop. Google plans to merge these two apps into a unified Drive for Desktop by the end of the year, and to kick things off, it’s rolling out a major update that greatly improves the desktop app’s usability and speed. The biggest improvement may be for multi-account support. In past versions of Drive for Desktop, users had to manually log in and out of each account they wanted to access. With the update, Drive for Desktop will support up to four accounts, which you can jump between by clicking your profile picture in the Drive for Desktop app. There will also be some improvements in its basic functionality for Drive for Desktop including (that is, backing up and syncing files). You can choose select files or folders to automatically sync with Drive, and now, all photos backed up through Drive for Desktop will automatically go into your Google Photos account. (In the past, uploaded photos sat in Drive like any other files.) This is all coming just as Google is ending unlimited storage for its Photos service.

MICROSOFT IS ROLLING OUT AN EMERGENCY WINDOWS PATCH FOR A CRITICAL VULNERABILITY There’s a new vulnerability in Windows 10 called “PrintNightmare.” It was revealed in early July 2021, and Microsoft is already rolling out an emergency security update to fix the problem. You should update as soon as you can. The vulnerability is a critical flaw in the Windows Print Spooler service. It’s similar to another vulnerability that was patched in June 2021. The worse thing about PrintNightmare is that its exploit has been shared publicly, making it easier for hackers to employ. The security updates started rolling out on July 6, 2021, and Microsoft urges everyone to “install these updates immediately.” To check for the update on your Windows PC, go to Settings > Update & Security > Check for Updates.

NEW IPHONES ON THE WAY New iPhone 13 models are rumoured to be launching in the US in September, and here’s what to expect from the new devices The iPhones will look similar to the 2020 models, with four devices in sizes with two of the iPhones being higher-end “Pro” models and two positioned as lower-cost, more affordable devices. The 2021 iPhones will have the same feature set as the 2020 iPhones, but there are expected to be camera improvements, a faster A-series processor, a new 5G chip, increased battery life, and some tweaks to the notch. The new iPhone is expected to be available in NZ in time for Christmas.

‘We’re living like kings’ by Lauren Prebble

19-year-old cancer patient from Taranaki gets the Queenstown royal treatment. Lauren Prebble catches up with the family while on holiday. A Taranaki family of 5 is on a month-long, South Island, trip of a lifetime, and are currently experiencing an all-expenses paidfor Queenstown holiday. This was inspired by a charity post that went viral and the business community of our alpine town pulled together to give cancer patient, Lenny Binsbergen, one helluva adventure. After the several years they’ve endured, they deserve a break with some fun. “Drive south instead of driving north up to Auckland” nods Christina Binsbergen, Lenny’s Swiss born mother. Nobody could’ve anticipated that the mere ache in Lenny’s leg was so bone deep. “He skated, he ski’s, he’s such an outdoorsy person we didn’t think much of it.” says Christina and then April 2019, Lenny was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (primary bone cancer). He went through 9 months of chemo, a major limb saving surgery, radiation treatments at Starship Hospital in Auckland. He finished treatment in March 2020 just before lockdown, but in November, he relapsed and needed to return to the taxing regime of chemo again. It’s a devastating hand to be dealt, especially for someone so active and young.

While the adventure capital is showing them the royal treatment there was still a bittersweet tone to their travels. But I could sense the family were hugely grateful for their Queenstown escape and utterly moved by the southern hospitality.

“What?” said Lenny “You just sit there and look at the cards dealt? You still have to play them through”

‘An incredible the amount of kindness.’ Lenny ‘There’s a really a tight knit community here’.

His mantra is to ‘take every day as it comes and don’t think about tomorrow.’

“We are just blown away by Queenstown” says Christina.

Christina’s phone went off again. She was chief organiser of this trip, a demanding task as the generosity continues to roll in. “Who was that?” questioned Lenny

The family offer their heartwarming thanks for the business community who have made their time here memorable.

“The Hills! They going to see if they can fit us in for this afternoon” beamed his mother Lenny was excitable. He had played a round of golf at Millbrook yesterday and now this?! “That’s what got him going. Got him out of bed” says Christina, when on the subject of golf. “He only started 4 months ago and there he is with a handicap of 15. I think the lady was quite impressed” she winks. Since coming to Queenstown they’ve had a jam-packed schedule of skiing, jetboating, iflying, fishing, meals out and 3 accommodation packages including a night in Kinloch. Next week Lenny gets to tick one item of the bucketlist “Heliskiing!” he said enthusiastically. “We’re living the life of Kings.” smiles Lenny, taken back by the scenario “It’s a weird life to live”.

Queenstown Airport appoints new Chief Executive Officer Queenstown Airport board of directors has announced the appointment of it new Chief Executive, Glen Sowry. Mr Sowry was most recently CEO of Metlifecare and prior to that CEO of Housing New Zealand (now Kainga Ora). He also has extensive aviation experience having spent a decade in a range of senior management roles at Air New Zealand, including three years as General Manager Operations.

Adrienne Young-Cooper, QAC Chair said: “The board is very pleased to have appointed such a well-qualified business leader after a robust recruitment process. The calibre of applicants from New Zealand and overseas was very high. The board and I are looking forward to working with Glen to set the future direction for QAC and take the business forward.” Mr Sowry said: “Queenstown Airport is a critical piece of social and economic infrastructure for the Southern Lakes region, as well as New Zealand. I am excited about the opportunity to work with the board and wider team to shape the future of the airport in consultation with the community and QAC’s wide range of stakeholders.” Having spent a great deal of time enjoying the outdoors in the district over the years, Mr Sowry is looking forward to relocating to Queenstown with his family and will start his role at QAC in mid-September. Mr Sowry replaces Colin Keel who resigned in April after five years as CEO.

In the past week, the country has averaged 49,435 new cases and more than 1,000 deaths a day. Daily mortality rates are up to 10 times the numbers seen in early June, but official data is widely believed to be a severe undercount due to low testing rates and poor contact tracing.

Norway’s beach handball team fined for not wearing bikini bottoms during European Championships match

Sports Massage Therapy

Reuters is reporting Norway’s beach handball team has been fined for being improperly dressed after the women wore bike shorts instead of bikini bottoms at a European championship match last week. The European Handball Federation (EHF) said in a statement that its disciplinary commission had dealt with “a case of improper clothing” in the bronze medal match against Spain. It added that the shorts were “not according to the Athlete Uniform Regulations defined in the IHF Beach Handball Rules of the game”. Norway’s sports minister Abid Raja said it was “completely ridiculous” and attitudes needed to change. Beach Handball’s rules stipulate that female players must wear tops and bikini bottoms. Men wear tank tops and shorts.

- Sports Massage - Theragun - Cupping - Dry needling - Exercise Prescription

“Female athletes must wear bikini bottoms... with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg.” the uniform regulations said. Reuters

Delta Air Lines refuses to use the name delta COVID-19 variant

For your health, wellbeing and active lifestyle... QUEENSTOWN HEALTH 38B Gorge Road, Queenstown 03 442 8190 www.queenstownhealth.com

US carrier Delta Air Lines isn’t amused at the irony that their airlines brand name is the same as the fast-spreading delta variant of the Covid-19 which is now rapidly spreading in the US. Delta has joined Corona beer as brands that have been wronged by the naming of the coronavirus and its variants. The World Health Organization began giving variants official names based on letters of the Greek alphabet to reduce stigmatizing names based on country of origin, thus the delta variant. The delta variant was first discovered in India and has been known for being more easily transmissible than predecessors. But Delta Air Lines chief executive officer, Ed Bastian, explained to media that they don’t call the delta variant by its WHO-given name. “We just call it the variant.”

FEEDBACK

STUCK OVERSEAS UNABLE TO RETURN AND TAKE UP MY JOB by John Usher

I am writing my story because I found myself in an unfortunate situation like many others, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I even continued to pay rent in New Zealand and even contributed towards bills.

Back in December 2019 I was invited to travel to India with my good friend Rohan and his girlfriend where I would meet my friend’s family and see the sites. The travel was scheduled for March 2020. This was to be the first overseas travel I had done in over 5 years so naturally I was excited to venture out in the world, indulge in new culture and share special moments with friends and Rohan’s family.

In the construction industry I have been involved in many projects from residential, commercial, and high-end architecture, including the Wakatipu High School. Installing the acoustic sound paneling in the theater was a big highlight and achievement in my career. I worked closely with clients and contractors to supply quality workmanship. I was on the road to residency, having completed NZQA Level 4 in Joinery.

From early 2020, I was aware that an illness had started to spread in China, although like the rest of the world I did not predict that it would lead to a global pandemic. We took the recommended precautions whilst traveling and set off on holiday not knowing that this would become a life changing decision. Whilst enjoying the sights and sounds of India we travelled north towards the Himalayas. Where we were travelling it was difficult to access internet which meant we were unaware of the announcement that New Zealand would close borders on the 19th of March 2020. This happened to be 9 hours before our scheduled flight was due to arrive on the 20th of March. We were unable to change flights and became stranded in India. We returned to Rohan’s family where lock down began in India. After 4 weeks I returned to the UK on a repatriation flight to my parent’s house. In the early stages entry to New Zealand was only being granted to citizens and permanent residents. I understood the situation and felt proud of how New Zealand had dealt with COVID-19 from the offset. I believed all I had to do was be patient and my turn to return to the life I had built in New Zealand over the 6 years would come. Unfortunately, this was not the case! Obviously, my employers were not happy that I could not return, especially due to the disruption caused from the lockdowns and the financial strain on the construction industry. I purchased a laptop that allowed me to work remotely completing quotes, setting out and designing. It was difficult due to the time difference. I was able to keep my employment until the 20th of July 2020, at which point I was made redundant along with other members of staff as the business considered closing.

Since there was a shortage of experienced joiners in Queenstown, I managed to secure a new job offer and had a variation of conditions to my visa approved by Immigration New Zealand. I hold a visa that is not due to expire until December 2023. With new confidence, and new regulations set by Immigration New Zealand I began the process of applying for a border exemption and entry permission. I met the new criteria introduced by Immigration New Zealand bar one condition; I had completed a variation to my current visa conditions. My application was declined, I tried multiple times hoping that the decision may be reconsidered but to no avail. As you can imagine, this was most upsetting as I have spent the past 6 years in New Zealand, I had a job, paid tax, had a lease on a property, assets, lots of friends and was starting a relationship with someone I met only a few months before I left. It’s now 1 year and 3 months and I still have no idea when or if I will be able to return. The stress, pain, and misery this has caused me is unforgettable. I feel I am unable to move on with my life as I had a plan for a life that has been taken away from me. With the increasing capacity of MIQ surely New Zealand can start the facilitation of entry for those who are separated from family and migrants that normally reside in New Zealand.

Joseph Mooney: MP for Southland responds My office has been in regular contact with Mr Usher’s representatives and the office of the Associate Minister of Immigration Poto Williams regarding this case. It is extremely disappointing, firstly that Mr Usher hasn’t received a decision regarding his application, and secondly that the decision process has taken so long. Mr Usher is among a large number of people who have contacted me with immigration concerns. These individuals or their family members have been shut out of New Zealand despite having previously made positive contributions to communities within our electorate, as well as having strong family or working ties here. That is why I have continued to lobby the government to make major changes to its current immigration policies. People like Mr Usher who have been fully vaccinated and have had jobs in New Zealand to return to, or who have family to be reunited with, should be allowed into the country after quarantining in Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) facilities.

The Government’s closed border approach is having a major impact on many families as well as the economy. Businesses desperately needing to be reunited with former staff and those that are looking to fill job vacancies are being put under extreme pressure because migrant workers, who have made strong contributions to a number of sectors over several decades, are being shut out of our borders. With cases like Mr Usher’s continuing to mount up, the patience of New Zealanders wearing thin and New Zealand business continuing to count their losses, the Government urgently needs to implement fairer and more sensible border policies. Labour and The Greens also need to address the thorough underutilisation of MIQ facilities to allow a backlog of people back into New Zealand faster. I will continue to lobby the Government to move towards implementing safe, sensible and practical border policies as I have done since New Zealand came out of its nation-wide lockdowns.

Veggie Gardening with Biochar Biochar oﬀers us so many positives as a gardener it’s hard to ignore this mind-blowing gardening magic.

Before adding it to the soil, you’ll need to ‘charge’ it with nutrients. You could simply pee into your bucket of biochar, mix it with manure slurry, or put it into your compost heap. You want around 5 – 10% biochar by volume in the soil to have a positive impact on crop yields and plant health. I also mix it into seed-raising mix. The biochar industry has been slow to get started in New Zealand, but there are a few suppliers online. You can make it yourself using waste wood from pruning, or any other source of untreated timber (even chopped down wilding pines!). There’s a few different production methods; I’m a fan of the old biscuit tin in the home firebox method, but there’s also the earth pit, the steel bath, the ‘Kon tiki’ Kiln, the Oregon Kiln and the Warm Heart Kiln methods. Do some homework and find the best method for you. The Biochar Network New Zealand (bnnz.org) is at the forefront of carbon sequestering technology in New Zealand and has lots of information… go check it out!

Biochar is a type of charcoal that has been made at high temperatures – think 300°C plus. The high temperatures and pyrolysis process means it’s a smoke free, non-polluting burn process… it’s a little bit like the honey combed structure of hokey pokey, or a Crunchie bar. A gram of biochar can have the surface area of a mind-boggling 200 square meters! This porous structure, when added to our gardening and farming soils, acts like a sponge to capture and hold moisture and nutrients, allowing plants to use them later. This means less nutrients need to be applied to our soils – it’s like a holiday park for useful bacteria and fungi in the soil, encouraging growth of their numbers. Biochar is a form of carbon that doesn’t break down, it will stay in your soil for hundreds of years, slowly sequestering carbon out of the atmosphere and doing about a million other amazing things for your garden and the environment.

Police trip over acid haul by Paul Taylor - editor

Queenstown Police have charged two people after finding Class A drugs while searching an Arrowtown property for stolen car parts. Officers investigating a burglary earlier this month executed the search warrant on Thursday. Queenstown Lakes CIB Detective Sergeant Paul Slater says they recovered the stolen car parts, along with more than 200 LSD tablets and small quantities of methamphetamine and MDMA.

A 34-year-old man is due to appear in Queenstown District Court today, 26 July, facing charges related to burglary. A 35-year-old man has been charged with possession for supply of a class A drug. Slater says: “It appears as though the car parts were stolen with the intention of on-selling to members of the public via various channels. “The public are reminded to be vigilant and to be very careful when purchasing new items from private sellers, either in person or online, as the items may be stolen. “This activity only encourages criminal behaviour and would-be purchasers also run the risk of facing prosecution for receiving stolen property.”

Arts+Culture Gitbox Rebellion featuring Kita Trio is coming to Arrowtown Gitbox Rebellion is an innovative and exciting 6 piece Guitar ensemble, performing intricate and clever original compositions as well as a few much loved guitar hero covers, such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Guitar Boogie… and Creative Queenstown have just confirmed a performance in Arrowtown on the 14th August. Gitbox has to be heard live to fully appreciate the acoustic guitar and the differences each player brings to the instrument.

“[They] played with a discipline and rapport that would be the envy of any classical chamber orchestra. In sum, Gitbox Rebellion provide stimulating, intelligent, and above all, approachable music.” NZ Herald An acclaimed multi-member performance unit of uncanny ability and chemistry, Gitbox Rebellion make their guitars sound atmospheric, chaotic and orchestral – and better than you could ever imagine. Nigel Gavin, a former member of Robert Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists said, “Back in the mid 80’s I was fascinated by the gamelan music of Bali. The music had many levels and included beginner players with the more experienced players. So I decided to apply that idea with all the students. I was teaching at the School of Creative Musicianship in Mt Eden, in 1987 and some of my students, Kim Halliday, Russell Hughes and Jon Pease, original members of Gitbox Rebellion, became my guinea pigs for the first project. The experiment proved successful, creating special musical games and structures for the group to piece together. The resulting sound was very harmonious, and before long concerts, tours and albums were happening. We received a small grant which enabled us to release our first album called, “Pesky Digits”, soon followed by the second release, “Touch Wood”. At this point Rattle records was created in order to release this music into the world. Since then Rattle has gone on to receive world attention for their high quality catalogue.”

Described as “Igor Stravinsky meets Pete Townshend,” the group’s music is a joyous collision of worlds, managing to be infectiously moody, upbeat, grungy and intricately textured all at once. Honouring the beautiful character of acoustic guitar, Gitbox Rebellion’s exuberant blend of jazz, rock, folk and classical will have you in sonic raptures. Extraordinary live, they’ll have you hooked from the first fingerpick to the last.

Going broke for art’s sake Contemporary artist Marc Blake is going broke for a new gallery concept – in the name, that is. “One day I was writing down ideas for a painting and I had ‘Broke Broken Broker’ noted down on a bit of paper,” says Marc. “Broker is an interesting phrase; it’s about negotiating big money deals… but it also means you’re more broke than everyone else. I found it amusing and thought ‘Broker’ would be a good name for the new gallery.” Marc’s operated the Queenstown Contemporary art gallery from a temporary space in Five Mile for three years. After a number of large-scale shows, he’s now re-focussing what the gallery does and has brought in a new site: Broker Queenstown, at 85 Beech Street. Queenstown Contemporary will be re-branded ‘Broker Frankton’ as soon as Marc can find a ladder high enough to replace the signage. “After all the giant community shows we did, I decided to change things and work with one or two of the artists doing stand-out work at Queenstown Contemporary. Those who were making use of all the opportunities and who I’d seen develop. Broker doesn’t represent anyone, technically, it’s a conversation between four artists.” In addition to Marc Blake, Broker Galleries showcases the work of Tracey Porteous, Sarah Bultitude and Emma-Kate Moore. “It’s a different conversation that we have between our work, it’s different to the regional paradigm. It’s a contemporary art conversation that’s linked to the new ideas and practices and conversations we’ve seen around the world. “I want to showcase more niche, contemporary arty stuff – and that’s where Broker is.”

Gitbox have just released their third album for Rattle called “Curveball” which they feature in the perfromance. The show will open with the Kita Trio – Gypsy swing music from three members of the ensemble. The show starts at 7:30pm on the 14th August at the Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall. Tickets are $20 and available at eventbrite.co.nz

What’s On A Conversation with Charlotte Grimshaw

Charlotte Grimshaw is the author of seven critically acclaimed novels and two outstanding short story collections. The multi-award-winning author’s latest book is a memoir, The Mirror Book. The memoir draws on her experiences growing up: her father is literary legend C.K. Stead. Stead often told his daughter to write from experience, but Gimshaw’s honesty has turned heads. Critics are calling The Mirror Book “book of the year”, “explosive” and “profoundly moving”. Organised by the Arrowtown Creative Arts Society (ACAS), Charlotte will be interviewed by ODT columnist John Lapsley. Where: Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall, 33 Buckingham St, Arrowtown When: Wednesday 28th July 2021- 6:30pm – 8pm Tickets are $25-$30 and available from Arrowtown Pharmacy or Eventfinda

Marc says the reaction so far has been positive, but that it has been a challenge operating a gallery space in central Queenstown; “Construction works make town a logistical nightmare. It looks a bit like peak Gulf War in Baghdad… there’s machines, trenches, barricades, everything you could possibly do to discourage people from going into town. “But in Five Mile, you wouldn’t notice a difference. It’s where everyone does their day-to-day stuff so people can ‘accidentally’ discover art. The gallery’s not a ‘destination’ and I like that.” In another bid to encourage the ‘accidental’ jostling of art and the day-today, Broker Queenstown is part of First Thursdays, a series of late-night art shows held on the first Thursday of each month. CBD galleries like Starkwhite, Queenstown Arts Centre, Romer, Milford Galleries, Artbay and Lightworx are open 5pm – 7pm. “It’s been so good to have those galleries working together and communicating. It’s a good opportunity for people who didn’t make it to the show openings or who may not usually go to galleries at all. “It’s all about supporting the local hospitality side of things too. The shows are another reason to make a night of something, to see some art and the maybe go to a restaurant or a bar, instead of just looking at something on the computer at home!”

If you are in Arrowtown take the opportunity to visit The Lakes District Museum which is currently hosting a fantastic Exhibition featuring 22 well-known local artists who are exhibiting their latest works. The Winter Exhibition 2021 includes painting, sculpture, photography and ceramics, and there is something to appeal to all tastes and each and every one is a local artist. Many have studied in the great colleges overseas, all have decided to call this region home and often with a local gallery where you meet them and see more of their work. Many are now fulltime artists and while some have been an artist for most of their lives, some like Dougal MacPherson have only taken it up as an adult and others like Jane Burdon rediscovered their love of painting after retiring. The exhibition is on at The Lakes District Museum until September 12th.

Sandman surprises Queenstown Author Neil Gaiman, who’s renowned for his fiction and comic books like The Sandman, Coraline and American Gods, has surprised Queenstown bookshops this week with unexpected visits. The author has an almost rock-star-like following, so it’s safe to say he was instantly recognised when he popped into mobile bookshop Bright Ink at the Remarkables Markets recently and signed some of his books. He later went shopping at Bound Books & Records; apparently he was quick to recognise the original Sandman art (based on his bestselling comic book) on the walls.

Te Urewera: legal personhood was established in 2014. www.shutterstock.com

What would sustainable tourism really mean for New Zealand? Let’s ask the river by Jason Paul Mika, Senior Lecturer, School of Management, Massey University and Regina Scheyvens, Professor of Development Studies, Massey University

Excitement among Cook Islands tourism operators and officials at the opening of quarantine-free travel with Aotearoa New Zealand was understandable. The impact of the pandemic on the island nation’s economy has been massive and will be felt for a long time. But it wasn’t long before a local environmental organisation sounded a warning about the risks of a return to high-volume tourism. The popular Muri lagoon area has already suffered from pollution. There is also pressure on sacred sites such as Avana harbour, legendary departure place of the seven canoes that sailed to Aotearoa around 700 years ago. On the other side of the world, there is a renewed movement to save Venice from pre-pandemic threats of over-tourism and cruise ships damaging its ancient canals. In Aotearoa New Zealand, too, people have been given pause to think about whether a return to tourism as usual is viable. One iwi, Tuhourangi Ngati Wahio at Whakarewarewa in Rotorua, has seriously considered whether to allow tourism to

resume in their village. Virtually synonymous with the birth of tourism in Aotearoa, the iwi now questions just what benefits its people are receiving from tourist activity. Everywhere, it seems, there are debates about what tourism will look like in the post-COVID era.

No return to mass tourism As regular flights between Aotearoa and Australia resume, the issue of high-volume tourism and its environmental impact is now front and centre. Significantly, the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment has advocated for using the disruption caused by COVID-19 to transform the local tourism industry. This would be based on the industry being accountable for its environmental costs, and involving local communities and mana whenua in decision-making — echoing other calls to recalibrate tourism within “sustainable bounds”. Few people would argue for a return to unsustainable practices, but what does this really mean? And who might we turn to for solutions?

Listening to Indigenous voices We argue Indigenous philosophies of enterprise and economy have the potential to provide those answers — if we are bold enough to allow such voices to be heard. In Maori philosophy, people and the environment are kin. As such, they depend on one another for their well-being. Consequently, some of the voices we need to hear are those of Papatuanuku (Earth mother) and her elements, the rivers, mountains and seas. What is more natural than wanting to have a conversation with your relations in times of trouble or joy? This can be an alien concept for many, but the Maori practice of karakia (incantation) is essentially about communicating as kin with the natural elements. In fact, these ideas have already found expression in Maori tourism operations on the Whanganui River. Te Awa Tupua, an ancestor of the iwi of the river, has been recognised as a person in law through a settlement of past wrongs under Te Tiriti o Waitangi between Whanganui iwi and the Crown.

Ask the river While relatively novel, the granting of legal personhood to Te Urewera in 2014 and Te Awa Tupua in 2017 enacts a fundamental idea of indigeneity — that all things, human and non-human, are interrelated. For the iwi of Te Awa Tupua, this sense of unity is captured in the tribal saying: Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au — I am the river and the river is me. Perhaps those wanting a conversation about what sustainable tourism might look like could begin by asking the river.

Questioning the benefits of mass tourism: the legendary Whakarewarewa, Rotorua’s ‘thermal village’ attraction. www.shutterstock.com

This is not a fanciful suggestion. Te Awa Tupua has been given a human face in the form of Te Pou Tupua, a single role held by two people appointed to speak on behalf of Te Awa Tupua and to uphold Tupua te Kawa, the natural law and values of the river.

operators’ attitudes to commercial growth. Maori tourism enterprises will more readily opt for lower growth in favour of environmental and community well-being. One Maori-owned jet boating enterprise, for example, would forgo tours beyond a desired daily maximum to help minimise the environmental footprint of the operation on the awa (river) and surrounds. They preferred to focus on quality of experience, not quantity of visitors. Another Maori operator prioritised job opportunities for whanau to harness their cultural knowledge and deepen their connection to the awa. As the owner reflected: I think the biggest aspiration is for my kids to know and identify themselves with the river. Similarly, a marae-based tourism experience has avoided catering for busloads of visitors in favour of smaller groups. Tribal narratives of the awa are linked to discussions about climate change, all within a culturally unique space that allows time to reflect on the human connection to Te Awa Tupua.

Tourism and the Treaty These examples of Maori tourism demonstrate there are other ways of thinking beyond a return to the old mode of accentuating growth at the expense of the environment and local communities. Given the impact of COVID-19 now and likely into the future, the tourism industry can’t ignore the innovative potential of Maori world views. A sustainable tourism model also recognises the essential purpose of treaty settlements such as those agreed in Whanganui — to allow people to live a good life in peaceful co-existence with each other and the land for all time.

In practice, this means a homegrown Indigenous framework for discussing and building sustainable tourism is already at our doorstep. We need only ask the rivers, the mountains, the seas – our ancestors – for guidance on what that means for coming generations

Low growth, high quality Our research has exposed social and ecological tensions between conventional industry ideas and Maori tourism

COMMUNITY NOTES ADULT READING CHALLENGE Take Your Winter Reading to The Next Level

By Eve Marshall-Lea – Assistant Librarian, Wānaka Library I think adults can get stuck in a reading rut but unlike children we no longer have our parents or teachers encouraging or supporting us to engage in a wider variety of reading material. This is where your local librarian comes in handy, or your bookish friends. I have been in reading ruts and discovered the best way out is having someone offer a recommendation or challenge me to try something I would never normally choose. So let us challenge your reading habits, challenge you to read more to read wider and to share these reading experiences with your friends, colleagues and local librarian. The libraries adult reading challenge is a way for us to encourage our adult readers to read outside of their normal “go-to” genres and authors and who doesn’t love a challenge with prizes and rewards. The additional benefit to the library is that we ask the reader to attempt such things as a graphic novel, a collection of short stories an eBook or an eAudio book which in turn highlights entire curated collections that they may not have already experienced. Offering our community the opportunity to experiment with their reading can be so rewarding in itself but add in the carrot of a café voucher and the possibility of purchasing a new book at the end only enhances the overall experience. Setting goals around your reading might sound like homework but the joy our participants are experiencing when discovering new things to read and new ways to read them makes it a worthwhile exercise. The reading challenge is available from all QLDC library branches and continues until the end of August, and is something that Eve Marshall-Lea in Wanaka has been wanting to get going for quite some time. The kids have been having far too much fun with their Reading Challenges and QLDC librarians needed to ensure the Adults could get in on the fun of a Reading challenge as well! For some inspiration Eve is currently reading: Grown & Gathered by Matt & Lentil (non-fiction / gardening), This one wild and precious life by Sarah Wilson (non-fiction) and Impossible (fiction by Stan Walker.

What’s On “Tired of Traffic? Waiting on a Bus? Let’s Explore Better Ways to Get Around” Shaping our Future is hosting the event with the purpose of initiate a community-led discussion on Modal Shift. The event will feature a panel of expert speakers followed by an open discussion to identify local priorities for action and to consider how a range of strategies that have worked successfully elsewhere might meet our region’s needs. Keynote speaker, Louise Baker, WSP Technical Principle in Travel Behaviour Change, who has studied travel behaviour change options for the District, will outline what actions she thinks would have the most impact here. These presentations will be followed by roundtable discussion among attendees, facilitated by volunteers from the Lightfoot Initiative. An intermission will provide an opportunity for attendees to learn about and trial the latest e-bikes designed for commuting, thanks to Charge About Queenstown. The details for the event are as follows: WANAKA: Lake Wanaka Centre-July 28, 5:30-7pm QUEENSTOWN: Remarkables Primary School-July 29, 5:30-7pm A five-minute survey is running at the same time and the link can be found: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C9SQFH9 Registration is FREE at www.eventbrite.co.nz.

Community News Regenerative Tourism by 2030 Consultation Events

Destination Queenstown, QLDC and Lake Wānaka Tourism are inviting the community and tourism industry to take part in the second round of Regenerative Tourism by 2030 events that will take place district-wide from 2-5 August. These sessions will build upon the insights and ideas generated from the July events and design forums which drew in more than 200 local businesses, workers and residents in Wānaka, Arrowtown, Glenorchy and Queenstown. The July forums introduced the concept of regenerative tourism and provided an opportunity for people to put forward ideas for how the visitor economy could add value for locals and visitors across the entire tourism system. Some of the ideas include aligning visitor values with local values; elevating the Tiaki Promise; providing visitors with on-the-ground regenerative experiences; encouraging a greater focus on slow tourism; improving public transport to suit both visitors and locals; and identifying steps businesses of all sizes can take now. August sessions have been announced which will delve into these ideas in more detail to determine the desired actions, and the key barriers and opportunities to ensure tangible environmental, social, cultural, and economic outcomes are created. These events are part of a wider programme designed to bring businesses and the community together to share their views and develop a plan which will help move the Queenstown Lakes district toward regenerative tourism by 2030. People who took part in the July events are encouraged to attend as well as new participants keen to get involved in the process. Further large-scale community events in Queenstown and Wānaka are planned for September as well as a district-wide online survey. More than 40 one-on-one in-depth stakeholder interviews are also being conducted in the next two months. The outcomes will then be brought together in a draft plan which is expected to be released in November 2021 for community and stakeholder feedback. Dates and locations for community events in August: • Wānaka - 2 August, 5pm-7pm, at Cardrona/Treble Cone Basecamp, 50 Cardrona Valley Road • Glenorchy - 3 August, 5-7pm, at the Glenorchy Hotel • Queenstown - 4 August, 5-7pm, at Sherwood (the Workshop venue in the courtyard) • Arrowtown - 5 August, 5-7pm, at The Dishery For all events, refreshments will be from 5.00pm and discussions from 5.307.00pm.

Ballarat Street Carpark Closed from next Monday The Ballarat Street Carpark, on the corner of Ballarat and Stanley Streets, is set to close from Monday 2 August to support the construction of the first stage of the Queenstown Town Centre Arterial road.
