Three Waters Reform – the devil in the detail
The journey to Waters Reform has been shambolic, but it’s outcomes that matter – in terms of health, costs, access to water, reliability of services, impacts on waterways, urban planning, and local democracy. Of course, outcomes depend on our ability to effect change and hold decision-makers to account. The Water Services Entities Bill, which QLDC has just submitted against, makes it very clear who will have power and who won’t be accountable. The Minister will control the constitution of Entity D - which councils can’t ‘own’ because the normal rights and responsibilities of ownership sit elsewhere. QLDC will get one ‘share’ in the Entity giving it one ‘right’: to vote against certain sale proposals. Co-governance of the Representative Group has caused a stir, but it’s not what you should love or hate about this Bill because 50% of no power is still no power. There is also no democratic chain of accountability from that group down to the council ‘owners’ and the community. Again, that’s not material because the governance of Entity D is in serious need of dentures… If Queenstown Airport had the same powers as the entity, QLDC could ask the board not let noise impact our wellbeing but couldn’t stop the company writing expansion of the Air Noise Boundary into its Statement of Intent (SOI). QLDC would then have to sign the SOI and couldn’t fire the board for implementing it.
Fire gutted the Cardrona ski field retail shop on Saturday. Initial reports suggested it was caused by a heater but general manager of Cardrona and Treble Cone, Laura Hedley, says the cause is yet to be confirmed. See story on page 13
So, it will be the board of Entity D, and those it delegates to, that will decide how, on what, and where (in the South Island) your money is spent. They can enter 35-years joint arrangements with large foreign corporates (which won’t do wonders for competitiveness of the market) and they can decide to sell assets in certain (vague) circumstances. This is not warm and fuzzy community-minded reform; it’s corporatisation that’s been driven by industry since well before Labour took office. The risk of privatisation is real and no, there are no privatisation protections in the Bill that can’t be removed by a future Government. Making water services cheaper has been a selling point but they didn’t assess the economies of scope that might be lost in the pursuit of scale and balance sheet separation. I’d wager that your Entity D bill plus your rates bill will easily surpass your current rates bill. Finally, Entity D might not save you money, but it will have debt to burn. Its first decision might be to purchase you a water meter. Maybe that would be good news, maybe it wouldn’t, but one thing is certain, it won’t be a community representative with local knowledge weighing up the pros and cons… and you won’t be getting a say in it.

Michael Hill Trust events expand There’s good news for the classical music sector today as two events initially adapted as Covid-19 pivots will be added to the events calendar permanently.
it was the tip top of the profession’s musicians that paid the dearest price. No longer able to travel for concerts, festivals, study, auditions, and competitions, it was the high-performance musicians that have lost critical years.
Whakatipu Music Festival and the National String Competition will sit alongside New Zealand’s most prestigious international music competition, the formerly biennial Michael Hill International Violin Competition (MHIVC).
“With New Zealand’s international borders shut, the MHIVC Trust and the Hill family reflected on its 20-year history of success and responded by giving back to the community of Queenstown that was adversely affected with the loss of tourists and to New Zealand musicians whose career paths and livelihoods were devastated,
Each event will now happen triennially, respectively, starting with the return of the MHIVC in June 2023, followed by the MHIVC Winner’s Tour and National String Competition in 2024, and then the Whakatipu Music Festival in 2025. The new Whakatipu Music Festival saw great success in 2021 and 2022 respectively, both in regards to the opportunities offered to young New Zealand musicians and in driving ‘cultural tourism’ to the South Island. It was borne from the need to stimulate the Queenstown economy and to provide a focal point for NZ musicians – a purpose to rehearse and perform – after ongoing months of being locked down. Leading New Zealand musicians Stephen De Pledge and Madeleine Pierard, among others, performed and mentored a cohort of high-performance emerging Kiwi musicians, many of whom were back home due to COVID, instead of studying offshore, as they usually would be.
“The initiatives we developed during this period – the Whakatipu Music Festival, National String Competition, and our growing Instrument Bank – have been met with huge appreciation, so we are so pleased to have developed a mechanism by which we can continue them all,” Rodda says. Resourcing this for Aotearoa has been a bold move for the MHIVC Trust Trust and is made possible through the generous and significant support of the Hill family. To better reflect this commitment and mahi, the MHIVC Trust will be renamed The Hill Family Foundation for Art and Music. More information on the 2023 Michael Hill International Violin Competition will be released soon. For more information, please visit www.michaelhillviolincompetition.co.nz
Extending beyond classical to jazz, singer-songwriting, and taonga puoro in 2022, the Whakatipu Music Festival affords local community musicians and their teachers and leaders a significant platform for performance and professional development opportunities. Its innovative Training Ground programme (paid apprentices) has already shown evidence it is lifting the capability of the region’s events sector. Planned for 2021 but postponed to February 2022, the Trust also presented the country’s inaugural National String Competition alongside the longstanding, respected Lewis Eady Charitable Trust’s National Piano Competition, positioning the country’s best young string players and pianists together in a high-stakes competition environment. “When COVID abruptly shuttered the world in 2020, our thoughts immediately went to all the violinists who have competed, collaborated and judged over the last twenty years of The Michael Hill,” says Anne Rodda, Executive Director of the MHIVC Trust. “The pandemic was a boot to the throat of all performing artists, but cruelly,

COMMUNITY NOTES 2022 Jive & Thrive Following last year’s inaugural festival Jive & Thrive is back this weekend. Jive & Thrive is a fun filled weekend of modern jive partner-dancing which will see visitors from across NZ as well as the local community descend on Queenstown to have fun and at the same time raise money for local mental health charity the GoodYarn Programme. Modern Jive is like walking to music which makes it one of the easiest partner dances, and a great place to start dancing. The idea originally was to provide an awesomely weekend for the modern jive community to dance and get together! It also turned out to be another event in Queenstown that gives local tourism operators a boost while also raising awareness of the benefits of dance for mental wellbeing. The weekend will raise funds for the GoodYarn programme, which runs free education for mental health progammes across the region. The weekend attracts dancers from all over the country to workshops and dance parties.

This year the free community class is taking place from 3.15-4.15pm on Sat 13th August at the Queenstown Memorial Centre. Jive & Thrive is a whole weekend of dance from 12-14th August. The programme commences on Friday night with dancing at The Bavarian, on Breckon Street from 7pm and runs until Sunday 14th with a a lunchtime dine & dance called CRUISEY & BLUESY.
Community News Do you own rural land in the Queenstown Lakes District? If you do, then you need to be aware that the Queenstown Lakes District Council has at the direction of the Environment Court recently publicly notified a Variation to its Proposed District Plan proposing Landscape Schedules for land within what has been identified as Outstanding Natural Landscapes or Features and, in respect of the Upper Clutha land, identified as a Priority Areas where the Council is concerned about the impacts of further development and activities on landscape values. The Landscape Schedules are intended to identify what the community and iwi value in respect of the landscapes but more importantly proposes to quantify the capacity of individual identified landscapes for further development and activities whether they be farming or tourism activities, earthworks, farm buildings, or rural living or visitor accommodation activities. Once settled it is anticipated that these Schedules will inform decision makers in respect of applications for resource consents and Plan Changes within these areas. To that end, anyone who may own land within the areas covered by the Schedules and may wish to undertake any activity on such land in the future, needs to familiarise themselves with the contents of the Schedules to see how their plans may be affected. Submissions on the Variation must be filed by 26th August 2022. Following that the Council will notify a summary of submissions and members of the public will have another opportunity to support or oppose any primary submissions made. If you would like to learn more about the process and or seek assistance with filing a submission please contact Graeme Todd or Ben Gresson of TODD & WALKER Law’s Resource Management team at graeme@toddandwalker. com or ben@toddandwalker.com or on 03 441 2743.
What’s On Co-governance: what does it mean, where is it headed and why is it so feared? Government proposals for Three Waters and health sector reforms have sparked alarm among some about what co-governance might mean for them and the country. But are these proposed reforms actually co-governance? And if so, is it a threat? Former National Party Treaty Negotiation Minister and Attorney General Chris Finlayson will background the evolution of co-governance, what it entails and where it might lead us.

What’s On
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Branches Trust fundraiser Branches Camp is celebrating 55 years of immersing Queenstown’s Year 10 Wakatipu High School students into the pristine wilderness of Branches Station. This is the South Island’s longest running school camp and Branches is fondly regarded by generations of Wakatipu families as a challenging, life-changing, and character-building experience. From its modest beginnings as a science trip of 25 students, Branches has grown over 55 years into one of the defining trademarks of a Wakatipu High School education. This year, almost 300 students from Year 10 will attend, learning how to raft, tramp, cook and discover who they are unplugged and away from their handheld devices and their parents. Branches Trust was formed 9 years ago to help fund this characterbuilding experience for the quickly growing high school population in Queenstown. The Trust is holding its 9th annual deliciously low-key evening of drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and inspiring creations from such artists as Susan Cleaver, Rachael Errington, Artbay Gallery, and Ira Mitchell-Kirk to raise funds for the Branches Camp. The Art Auction & Hors D’Oeuvres Fundraiser event is for the Branches 2022 Camp Where: Te Atamira Community Art Centre When: August 26th, between 5.30pm – 9.00pm Cash Bar Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased from Wakatipu High School office or at the door on the night.

2022 Queenstown Writers Festival secures top authors by Bethany Rogers
The organisers of Queenstown Writers Festival have announced they are bringing two authors judged New Zealand’s best in this year’s New Zealand Ockham awards to Queenstown. Wellington writer Whiti Hereaka won the supreme prize for fiction for her novel Kurangaituku, an epic retelling of Māori mythology, and Rebecca K Reilly won the prize for best first book of fiction, with Greta & Valdin. The authors are among a large group of top Kiwi writers sharing their works and thoughts during the festival between November 11 and 13, at Queenstown’s new arts and culture space Te Atamira. Chairperson Tanya Surrey said the festival team was thrilled to be bringing these talented writers to Queenstown. “This year’s line-up will offer creative and enlightening conversations for our audiences,” she said. Other writers include broadcaster Noelle McCarthy who will be discussing
For TRUSTED timely

New director for Milford Opportunities by Paul Taylor
A mining industry consultant and vocal opponent of the Tarras Airport plans has been appointed director of the Milford Opportunities Project. Chris Goddard will lead stage three of the project, which aims to transform the way tourism in Milford Sound Piopiotahi, the Milford Road, Te Anau and the surrounding region. Goddard lives in Tarras with his wife, Donna, where the couple run their own consultancy business. He has a background in mining and project management, which included engagement with government, diverse communities and the general public. He’s also leading Sustainable Tarras’ battle to stop Christchurch Airport Ltd building a major new international airport in the Central Otago town, which would be a rival to Queenstown Airport.
Chris Goddard
“Some of the recommendations are thoughtprovoking and some already are creating lobby groups to fight against them, but I expected that,” Dr Turner said. That includes plans to demolish the runway at Milford, which has created a huge backlash from flightseeing tourism operators. “The sort of change we are looking for is massive and I am sure Chris is the person to take us there.” Goddard said he was thrilled to get the role because he believed in what was being proposed for the region.
“This role enables me to be part of a project that will be nationally and internationally important. It is going to be challenging and a lot of hard work, and I am looking forward to getting going,” Goddard said.
Milford Opportunities Project board chair Dr Keith Turner says: “The delay in finding someone for this job has been worth it to get Chris in the role. He will drive this project forward, and I am sure he will build a strong team around him to do that.
His first plans are to work with stakeholders across the region to bring the masterplan to life.
“It would have been easy to choose one of New Zealand’s many tourism experts but this stage of the work demands strong project management and business acumen.
The masterplan makes recommendations to Government and stage three is about developing the detailed business plans for how those concepts will become reality.
“We must think differently if we want to get a different result to the status quo. Chris brings that different perspective and importantly that drives him to listen to and understand stakeholders.” Turner says Goddard will be able to rely on the board for tourism expertise. He will report to the board, and will lead a team of specialists to carry out stage three of the project, which is the in-depth business cases for the recommendations in the masterplan. Turner believes the controversial masterplan, launched in Te Anau in July last year, will “change the way New Zealanders look at their iconic spaces”.
“Working with Ngai Tahu and stakeholders, including local communities and local businesses, is essential,” he said
“We were asked to come up with something innovative, something challenging, something that will change the way tourism interacts with environment and conservation, Dr Turner said at the launch “I feel we have done that and now the hard work of implementation and decision-making on how to implement it begins.” The project began in 2017, after concerns about the rapidly growing visitor numbers in Milford Sound Piopiotahi were raised by Southland District Council and the Department of Conservation. Numbers peaked at 870,000 visitors in 2019, up from 430,000 in 2013.

Deputy mayor to step down by Paul Taylor
Queenstown’s deputy mayor Calum MacLeod has announced he’s not seeking re-election. Speaking at the Wānaka Community Board meeting on Thursday, the Wānaka councillor confirmed he won’t stand for another term. “It is about time I said publicly, I will not be standing for election this time around and will not be seeking re-election,” he said. “It’s just I think that 12 years, if you count the three on the community board prior, is probably enough. “Councillors do have a shelf life. I think I’m still inside my due date, but I’d like to think that somebody else will eventually stick their hand up and away we go.” There was no comment from anybody on the community board about the announcement, or MacLeod’s service, and the meeting closed shortly afterwards. More than half the serving councillors have now taken themselves out of the running, along with Queenstown’s mayor Jim Boult, who’s standing down after two terms. MacLeod joins councillors Penny Clark, Val Miller, Niamh Shaw and Glyn Lewers in confirming they won’t run, while Arrowtown councillor Heath Copland is expected to step down as well. The Scotsman, who has lived in Wānaka since 1989 and started the popular Paradiso Cinema 25 years ago, is a Resource Management Act commissioner. He has served three terms on the council and community board, plus three more on the community board before that. Only two people have so far announced their intention to stand for the four Wānaka seats, serving councillor Quentin Smith and newcomer Cody Ross. Councillors Esther Whitehead, Niki Gladding and Craig ‘Ferg’ Ferguson, and newcomers Lisa Guy and Peter Newport, are so far the only people to step forward for the 11 council seats. There are four people in the running to be mayor, Olivia Wensley, Glyn Lewers, Al Angus and Jon Mitchell. Quentin Smith, speaking at the community board meeting before MacLeod’s announcement, said: “At this point, we don’t have an election on our hands, because we don’t have enough candidates, so we desperately want to see a strong democratic election in our community, and we want to see people standing up from the community to represent the people that live here and the ratepayers around all the important work that goes on in council.
“So, really just encouraging those who are thinking about it, you’re running out of time, what is is, midday on Friday next week?” QLDC itself is also encouraging people to step forward before the deadline this Friday, 12 August, at noon. QLDC Chief Executive Mike Theelen said: “Being an elected member is not easy, but it is rewarding and interesting, and I do hope more people stand. Elected members are the backbone of our local democracy, they help steer the direction of our district.” If there are not enough people to fill the positions, those nominated will automatically be elected and a by-election will be held for the vacant seats. Nominations are open for the following roles: Mayor Arrowtown-Kawarau Ward (three councillors) Queenstown-Whakatipu Ward (four councillors) Wānaka-Upper Clutha Ward (four councillors) Wānaka-Upper Clutha Community Board (four members)

Journalist to stand for council by Paul Taylor
Queenstown journalist and vocal council critic Peter Newport has announced he is standing for election as a councillor. Newport, who is managing editor of website Crux, will contest the Queenstown Lakes District Council Queenstown-Whakatipu ward. “I recognise that a working journalist standing for council in some ways represents uncharted territory,” he said, in a press release. “Ultimately, though, any resident should be able to represent their community. “Crux will develop some clear policies that will define any reporting issues that need clarification and obviously it will be important to respect the mechanisms that contribute to the running of an efficient, fair and open local council.” Newport has gone head-to-head with the council on several issues since establishing Crux in 2018, including its procurement policy and payments to consultants, which led to a review and changes in the policy. He’s also extensively covered airport issues, both Queenstown and Wanaka, and more recently the Lakeview redevelopment. His reporting has led to five complaints to the New Zealand Media Council over recent years, two of which were upheld, one partially upheld and two not upheld. In the latest ruling, in March 2021, which was not upheld, members of the Media Council, said: “As we have said in some of those past rulings, a close look at these complaints has not reflected well on either side of this argument. Public bodies have been less than open and Crux’s reporting has repeatedly crossed the line, especially in its failure to separate fact and comment.” Newport has lived in Queenstown for the past 10 years after an extensive domestic and international career in journalism and TV documentary production.
He started his career in Dunedin with the Otago Daily Times and TVNZ before working in Wellington for RNZ’s Morning Report. He then moved to Australia to work for both Channels 9 and 10, before becoming Channel 9’s first European correspondent in London. Then followed senior roles with the UK’s Independent TV News as its Far East news producer in Hong Kong and the BBC at its London headquarters as the deputy editor of TV News. He then spent many years in London producing documentaries for a variety of international broadcasters. Returning to New Zealand in 2004, he worked for TV3’s current affairs series Third Degree before taking on the role of Otago/Southland reporter for RNZ, based in Queenstown, and then set up Crux. “I’ve covered local and national governments as a journalist all over the world. Now it’s time to make a bid to sit on the other side of the fence,” he says. “The Southern Lakes is without doubt one of the most special places on the planet, and it’s important that our local council matches both the depth and quality of the community it serves. “All of the challenges of the past five years with rapid growth and then Covid have put extraordinary pressure on the QLDC. I feel that the council will benefit from a new team of councillors that look more to the future and less to the past. “Remote working, new types of tech industry, the need for action on climate change – all produce the need for a council that can encourage and support new ways of doing things. “And all of it needs to be done with openness and transparency. Without transparency our local council inevitably suffers from a loss of trust. That trust is essential for the functioning of a healthy council and a healthy community.”

Foundation continues Kate’s good work by Paul Taylor
The Kate Moetaua Foundation is applications for its 2022 scholarships.
now
inviting
Anika, Aya and Malia, and Teaukura Moetaua
Established to honour the popular local arts and drama teacher who passed away in 2018, the foundation has helped about 20 youngsters in recent years. Kate’s daughters Anika, Aya and Malia, along with her husband Teaukura Moetaua, review all the applications and decide on the winners. “She would absolutely love it,” Anika, 18 says. “She was always about giving back to the community and helping others, so I think she’d be very proud of what we’re doing.” Kate influenced the lives of many young people throughout the Whakatipu, opening their eyes to the world of performance and helping them to gain confidence on and off the stage. One of her final wishes was for a foundation that supported young talented people in the sporting, cultural, education and arts arenas. The community swung into action and raised over $50,000 through donations, a charity golf day at The Hills and a show the Wakatipu High students produced called ‘Made by Kate show’. Kate Moetaua
In 2021, $3500 was awarded to 8 local Wakatipu High Students, and $3000 is on offer in 2022, the foundation’s fourth year. “But we definitely won’t stick to that number if we get lots of deserving applications,” Anika says. Anika says she’s always blown away by the applications. “They’re all so interesting to read. It’s aimed at high school students and we get a bunch from sports, such as skiing, netball, and arts, people who play the piano, it’s really cool to see.”
Last year’s major sports winner Olive Watherston, 17, wants to play rugby sevens for NZ and has used her scholarship to assist with living costs after moving to Tauranga for her final school year. The time and cost of travelling to Dunedin for training and playing was adding up, prompting the move north. Olive has now been selected to play for the Bay of Plenty Volcanixs playing alongside a number of NZ Black Ferns on a regular basis. “I am very grateful to have had some help from the Kate Moetaua Foundation and think it is something huge they are doing and very special.” Other recipients last year include Helena Hornbacher, who used her scholarship last year to attend the 2021 NZ Jazz Foundation Student Workshops in Wellington, and Joe Leyden, who used it for performing arts opportunities. Teaukura says: “To see the memory of Kate live on through this wonderful cause is heartening to us as a family.” The Wakatipu Community Foundation administers the fund on behalf of the foundation and helps out with the scholarship process.
It can be difficult to make a decision.
Grants and Scholarship Coordinator Euni Borrie says: “Scholarships are a wonderful way to support youth in the community, and it’s wonderful to see how these scholarships are making a difference to help develop our local talent pursue their dreams.
“But we want to give an amount that will really help them, so that plays a big factor in me deciding.”
“Anyone wishing to make a donation to the foundation can do so on their website.”
They also get a six-month impact statement for the youngsters they’ve helped.
Applications for the scholarship are available at www.katemoetauafoundation.org and closes at 5 pm on August 31.

NEWS IN BRIEF
QLDC urges pause on Three Waters by Maddy Harker / Wānaka App
Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) councillors approved a submission on a central government Three Waters bill at a special council meeting on Tuesday. Numerous local councillors and mayor Jim Boult have been vocal in their opposition of the controversial Three Waters reform - which would transfer water ownership from councils to four national entities - and the submission maintained that strong voice. Council urged the select committee, which will consider its submission, to pause the Three Waters reform programme “to ensure the most appropriate service delivery model is put forward, and aligned with other reform programmes”. Specifically, it asked the government to pause the current Water Service Entities bill.
Fire guts Cardrona shop A fire at Cardrona Alpine Resort on Saturday (6 August ) morning destroyed the retail shop on the ski field. Initial reports suggested it was caused by a heater but general manager of Cardrona and Treble Cone, Laura Hedley, says the cause is yet to be confirmed. “We are working with fire and emergency inspectors to identify the cause. We are still assessing the damage to the building and it is closed until this can be done.” The fire started just before 5am and the fire brigade was called as soon as alarms alerted staff. “Our operations teams used available resources to control the fire from outside the building initially until the fire crews arrived. They [fire brigade] were on site quickly.” The fire was contained to the retail building and, after a slight delay, the field opened on Saturday. - Wanaka App

The submission says QLDC supports the need for regulatory reform of the Three Waters (wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water) services but it opposes the mandate of the new model and has concerns about the nature of the reform; it “fundamentally” opposes government’s proposed water services delivery model; and, said a lack of detail about the programme provided made it difficult to provide a detailed submission. QLDC forms part of Entity D, along with 21 other South Island councils, and its resident population of 48,300 makes it the sixth largest council in the entity. The submission says QLDC is concerned the shareholding model proposed under Three Waters does not take into account the substantial number of visitors to the region: “This demonstrates a significant difference in the investment and interest required in council’s Three Waters infrastructure to meet the needs of the Queenstown Lakes District,” the submission said. Councillors at the meeting commended the final submission: Wānaka-based councillor Niamh Shaw called the submission “absolutely excellent”, a sentiment shared by other councillors. “This was clearly projected as an opt-in scheme and our community should have an opportunity to have a say and that opportunity has been removed,” councillor Quentin Smith said. Mayor Jim Boult said he thought the submission “communicates very firmly” the council’s stance on Three Waters and said he was pleased the council had “avoided some of the hysteria that has been occurring elsewhere on this matter”. QLDC’s submission will be considered alongside others by the select committee, which will prepare a report on the Water Services Entities bill for the House, which may include recommending changes to the bill. Read QLDC’s full submission on the council website.

No simple fix for bus services by Paul Taylor
“We need to have greater integration between management of the road network and public transport now,” Boult said. “We do not believe that the current arrangement of split transport responsibilities can deliver the scale or speed of change that is needed. The time is right to consider how full integration would be best achieved.” But former QLDC councillor Forbes, a keen environmentalist who has championed greener forms of transport, says that has issues too. It will take more than high level talks to sort Queenstown’s bus problems, says Otago Regional Councillor Alexa Forbes. Queenstown mayor Jim Boult and Dunedin mayor Aaron Hawkins fired a shot across the bows of ORC last week over public transport. ORC has slashed the number of Orbus services in recent weeks, reducing the timetable and announcing emergency daily route cuts as well. The $22.75 wages are not enough to attract and retain the number of drivers needed, and Covid-19 and winter illnesses have swept through the workforce it has. Both mayors are demanding talks with ORC chairman Andrew Noone, saying buses are critical to reducing car-dependency, and the congestion and climate change it causes. ORC Dunstan ward councillor Forbes, who is chair of the Otago Regional Transport Committee, says she understands the frustrations. “We’ve made some really big progress in the past three years to improve the routes, improve the pricing etc,” Forbes says. “But it’s bloody tragic at the moment, frankly, to see our buses not delivering to the potential... however, it’s not a matter of a bunch of us getting around a table and sorting it out. It is nowhere near that simple.” Forbes says the ORC is hamstrung by the Government’s Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM), which is under review, particularly on driver wages. “We also need to have some serious conversations about how we allocate road space. I had to go to Arrowtown and that bus was 40 minutes late because of the congestion at Arthurs Point. “There are things to be done, like considering smaller buses. A lot of people see that as the answer, but with PTOM at the moment, we have to ensure wheelchair access and things like that. “There’s a lot to be worked on, and I don’t think the mayors are fully considering everything.” Both mayors favour transferring the service to council but are prepared to consider alternative governance models.
“I support taking a look at that, but the problems are complex and will not be solved by simply transferring responsibility. It’s back to the PTOM, which has a whole pile of restrictions and constraints. “It’s also really tricky from a regional perspective, operating across territorial lines, and a certain amount of debt goes with each public transport system. Those debt levels will be pretty high for a territorial authority to take on.” The problems couldn’t have come at a worse time for the push to get people out of cars and on to buses. Government subsidies have halved the already-cheap $2 fare to $1, and parking in Queenstown CBD is a nightmare due to streetscape works. Bus passenger numbers would likely have increased under the circumstances, if services were reliable. ORC was unable to provide figures before the Lakes Weekly Bulletin went to press. Forbes says ORC is working through the issues and constraints. It has a report coming to its full council before the end of the three-year council term in October. She’s also talking to Wellington City Council about how it has managed to increase its bus drivers’ wages.
Queenstown mayor Jim Boult
ORC introduced a living wage for bus drivers but, compared to what a tanker driver gets, for example, there’s still a way to go. “They do an incredible job and it’s not an easy job. I want to see them paid properly. The community has to be prepared to pay for that, because it comes out of rates. These are discussions that need to happen.” ORC chairman Andrew Noone says ORC Is “committed to having a conversation” with the mayors before the end of the triennium.

Arts+Culture Two poets and a musician combine for a night of laughs by Jessica Allen
Poets David Eggleton and Daren Kamali will be accompanied by classical guitarist Richard Wallis in their poetry cabaret, The Mad Doggerels, at Te Atamira this Sunday. They will be presenting a combination of spoken-word and lyrical poetry set to music, which describes Aotearoa today in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Eggleton is the Poet Laureate of New Zealand, and has been involved in the scene for many years. With his title comes opportunities for him to judge a number of competitions, be a part of festivals, and encourage other poets. One aspect he’s missed out on, due to Covid, is the ability to travel overseas to international book and literary festivals to promote New Zealand, which is why he’s excited to be getting back on the road. “It’s about trying to keep the idea of entertainment going. It is kind of energising in live entertainment to have the audience there in front of you and you get that response, it’s an organic relationship between you and them. So, we want to recall it, and it’s quite a challenging time,” says Eggleton. Eggleton saw Kamali perform around 15 years ago in Auckland, which is where they both met, and they’ve worked with Wallis on and off for a while – he’ll be producing the music. The show is all about raising literary awareness and raising consciousness of what it’s like in New Zealand at the moment, in a comical and self-reflective ironic way. Kamali grew up in Fiji and moved to New Zealand at 17, so brings his own experiences of moving here and the culture shock after growing up in a village. They aim to bring a new perspective on how we look at things. “The idea is to have the audience pick up on the references and be swept up in the language and images, and a sense of being transported
themselves. Just the power of voice and of the New Zealand vernacular. It’s very much so a show that is homegrown, which grows out of the moves and the feelings of communities. I’m from Dunedin, so bring a South Island perspective, whereas Daren comes from Auckland so he’ll bring his own perspective on that. We cross over and weave together,” says Eggleton. “I’ve got a particular way of expressing things and looking at things that just catches people’s imagination, and so got chosen as Poet Laureate, because I can speak for the country, and I can express what it’s like to live here today – now, in the moment. “Just the idea that poetry can create onto a perception, make it simplified into an image that people can understand and grasp the complexities or the ambivalence of a particular situation. It’s kind of a supplementary serum,” says Eggleton. The Mad Doggerels will be performing at Te Atamira on Sunday 14th August. You can get tickets at teatamira.nz
Art News Uffizi Gallery announces €50m project to return Boboli Gardens to its former Medici-era glory
Youth design competition open to encourage voting Young people are invited to enter a poster design competition where the winning design could be printed in the Lakes Weekly and on the back of a bus. The competition, run by Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC), is to design a poster that encourages people to vote in this year’s local election. Jane Robertson, QLDC’s Electoral Officer said the competition, which is open to youth aged 15-20, aims to engage young people in the election. “While young people under the age of 18 can’t vote, we want to engage them in the election process. Voting habits and an interest in democracy can start young, especially if we make it interesting.” The winning design could be displayed on the back of a public bus*, published in QLDC’s magazine Scuttlebutt, shared with local and national media, and on the QLDC website and social media channels. Large copies of the winning design will also be printed for the local community and school.
The Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy, have announced an ambitious €50m masterplan to revamp the nearby Boboli Gardens within eight years. The “Boboli 2030” programme features 40 projects geared towards protecting the park from the ruinous effects of climate change while making it more energy efficient, accessible and attractive. Highlights include the creation of three refreshment areas, the restoration of statues and a new hightech storage facility for what is the world’s biggest collection of historic tapestries and carpets, the Uffizi claims.
“We hope that keen art or design students, or any young person, may be interested in entering to help boost their portfolio for any future art and design endeavours – art school, further education, job applications anything like that. Or perhaps just because they have an interest in design, communications, and democracy,” said Ms Robertson. The competition is open to 15–20-year-olds who live in the Queenstown Lakes District. Entries close at midnight on Sunday 21 August. Entries need to be PDF or JPEG and sent to communications@qldc.govt.nz with the subject line: Voting poster competition. Terms and conditions are available at www.qldc.govt.nz/ competition-terms
Part of the Uffizi Galleries network, the park was designed by the Medici family from the 16th century onwards and it established the Italian garden style that became a model for European courts. The 33-hectare grounds behind the Pitti Palace include monumental fountains, frescoed grottos and around 300 classical, renaissance and baroque statues.

Sally Hogg
FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES
She’s made more Playdough cakes and applied more Band Aids than she can count, but long-time Queenstown Kindergarten teacher Sally Hogg wouldn’t swap her 40-plus year career for anything. “I just love the children,” she says. “They’re so curious and honest. They just say it as it is.” Sally admits she wasn’t always the model child. Born and raised in Invercargill, she confessed to one of her kindy children once that she was “really naughty” in kindergarten. “I had to stand in the kitchen and face the corner,” she grins. “The children had great fun trying to guess what I might’ve done, but I have no idea.” “They love hearing about your life. You go for a walk and hold their hands and they ask you where your rings came from, why you’ve got ‘silvery bits’ in your hair and what ‘those lines going down your face’ are,” she smiles. “They’re just curious.” Sally went to Surrey Park Primary and Lithgow Intermediate Schools before biking 6kms every day to Southland Girls High School. At 13 she was rising at 5am to bike a similar distance to the Conon Street Pool for swim training, where breakfast was eaten before biking to school. “In winter the pool was closed so we did gym work and trained in the local prison pool on Sunday nights,” she recalls. “It wouldn’t be allowed today, but we changed in their woodwork room, locked into every part of the building we went into. I got quite an education there as I got to read what the prisoners had written on the walls!” Sally held many Southland swimming records and competed in the New Zealand Championships in Auckland, also taking out the South Island 220yards (201m) Butterfly title. All this just several years after refusing to get in the Learner’s Pool for lessons for her mother, the late Ray Todd, also a teacher. Sally didn’t quite make the Dux grade of some of her aunties before her at Southland Girls High. “I had to shift 180 snails from one trough to another as punishment for misbehaviour in science teacher Miss Grantham’s class.” However, Sally forgot to put the lid on afterwards so a very unimpressed Miss Grantham arrived to masses of snails all over her immaculate lab. At Kindergarten College in Dunedin Sally played for the Otago Women’s Under 21 Basketball Team -1972-73, and played competitive netball. She waitressed in the holidays in Queenstown at Lake Esplanade, staying in the family crib, teaching at Port Chalmers and Winton before meeting future husband Bruce in Dunedin. They lived in Canberra for seven years where they were engaged, married, built a house, and had their two children, Richard and Katie.

“I was adamant I wanted the children to grow up around extended family, but I’d thought Queenstown, where my brother, Graeme (Todd) lived, was too busy,” she grins. “That was 1984.” They moved here anyway and Sally taught part-time at Playcentre before ending up on the Establishment Committee for a Queenstown Kindergarten. A massive ‘Build A House In A Day’ project raised about $100,000 at auction, almost half the funds needed, with the Government stumping up the rest. The new kindergarten opened in 1989 with a waitlist of 220 – Hamish Hill the eldest and Olivia Hill the youngest. Most children were four by the time they got in. Sally scored the head teacher’s role and stayed full-time for 31 years. There were few health and safety regulations back then, like the two-page report if a child is injured now, even just requiring a Band Aid. The popular, annual Bottle Auction - no longer possible due to district council policy regulations, raised some $10,000 a year. “We were having way too much fun,” smiles Sally. The pre-Christmas truffle making fundraiser also saw hundreds of mums turn out thousands of truffles every December for years. “We fought for many years against Education Ministry rules that wouldn’t allow us to go near the lake without one adult per two children,” she recalls. Thankfully they now can. “Children need to know their lake and respect it. You can’t put a fence around the lake!” Gradually cutting back to her current six hours a week, Sally now sees her ex-pupils with their children at kindergarten. Her favourite role is taking the children for walks around the downtown community. Walking at their pace they notice amazing things, she says. Searching for a street without road cones is a favourite task at present. Some of the most interesting comments have come from the children during Covid times, reflecting just how much what’s going on around them is taken in, she says. “We’d sit by the lake and they’d say, ‘There are no planes’, and, ‘The Earnslaw’s got no smoke’. They’d tell us what was different, like not having to move over on the footpath for the tourists.” Sally had been off unwell for a week and a little girl asked, ‘Did you have the virus?’ “I said, ‘No’, and she said, ‘It’s in town. If you go into town you’ll see it. My mum said if you go into town it’s there.” However, Sally says the children have been incredibly resilient. Learning comes more from the child now. “We shouldn’t be in their face, but sit back and watch them learn and let them make mistakes,” she says. “That builds resilience for life.”
Sally reading the book about the kindy walks at the kindergarten with Paige Harrison (centre) and Aariz Noor.
Sally feels very fortunate to still have a connection with the kindergarten. She and Bruce appreciate their many fantastic friends, she enjoys golf, and catching up with her 96-year-old dad, Owen Todd, most days.

Discover Oahu, Hawaii by David Gibbs
Oahu, Hawaii is where Honolulu airport is located and is the main tourist destination with a mix of Polynesian island lifestyle and urban buzz of a cosmopolitan beachside oasis. Oahu has terrific food options, warm ocean breezes, 5-star resorts and world class shopping. Honolulu, the ‘Aloha Spirit’ of Hawaiian culture has the relaxed vibe of one of the world’s most famous tropical beaches.
Surfing was born in Hawaii
Staying in Waikiki with its plethora of hotel options, immediately thrust you into the bustle of the main tourist spot that is Hawaii’s most famous beach. However there is much more to see and don’t leave the island without at least a day on the north side of the island for a laid-back culture, relaxed beaches and what is probably quintessential old world island life. I had not been to the north shore prior to this trip and will never make that mistake again. The markets, taco trucks along with being in the countryside is such a lovely break from Waikiki hustle. Culture and history Hawaii has the USA’s only royal residence Iolani Palace, which was built in 1882 for King Kalakaua. Beautifully restored, the palace is open Tuesday to Saturday. Fun fact. The Hawaiian flag is the only state flag to include a foreign country’s national flag, the Union Jack. Pearl Harbour is Hawaii’s best known free attraction to visit. If you’ve never been to the island before this is a must do, including visiting the USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri.
Oahu’s north shore has some of the top Hawaii beaches especially to go snorkeling or surfing, including Pupukea, Sunset, North Beach and Waimea Bay. If you want to watch surfing at its most extreme, head for the Banzai Pipeline; the biggest waves happen between November and April.
Surfing was invented in Hawaii, so there’s no better place on the planet for a surf lesson. There are several surfing schools based at Waikiki, as well as along the northern coast of the island. Getting pro lessons and you’ll learn the tips and techniques that make it easier to pop up and catch a ride.
Northern Beaches. Image Luke McKeown
Dining Dukes - Waikiki - A very popular option known for its beachfront location, surf ‘n’ turf, tiki vibe & umbrella drinks. Hulas - Waikiki - Relaxed beachside dining serving fish tacos & tropical drinks, plus a fantastic spot for weekend brunch. Breakers Restaurant & Bar - Haleiwa, North Shore - Surfboards adorn this seafood-centric American hangout with a full tiki-style bar & patio seating. Staff are laid back with great breakfast, especially if you get to sit on the balcony. Only serve that awful American drip coffee however. Getting there Air New Zealand flies non-stop from Auckland to Honolulu three times a week. Hawaiian Airlines also flies the route three times a week. Flight time from Auckland to Honolulu is around eight and a half hours. Hulas Restaurant has commanding views across the beach
Stay Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort Right on Waikiki Beach, this upgraded traditional hotel is decorated with attractive Polynesian artwork and is centrally located with a 2-minute walk from Fort DeRussy Beach Park and within an easy stroll to all the main eateries and stores in Waikiki. Address: 2169 Kālia Rd, Waikiki
Outrigger Reef hotel is right on the beach. Image Jeremy Bezanger
Shopping Every trip to Hawaii requires a trip to the retail outlets. There are many brands and products that aren’t available in NZ with specials and ‘real’ specials. While many malls in the US have lost their gloss both Ala Moana Centre and the Waikele Premium Outlets are going from strength to strength. Ala Moana is located near Waikiki and has free transport or is a 30-minute walk. Ala Moana biasts more than 350 stores and restaurants. Waikele Premium Outlets. Hiring a car to get to the premium outlets [30km’s] is advisable though there are tours available. The outlets specialise in designer bargains with more than 50 brand name stores including Coach, Calvin Klein, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Tommy Bahama and Banana Republic stores. On the more laid-back northern side of the island is Haleiwa, a friendly beach town that offers a more local shopping experience. There’s a farmers’ market, multiple art galleries, surf wear stores and is known for its Taco Trucks.

Nichelle Nichols, the actress revered by “Star Trek” fans everywhere for her role as Lieutenant Uhura, the communications officer on the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, died on Saturday in Silver City, N.M. She was 89. The cause was heart failure, said Sky Conway, a writer and a film producer who was asked by Kyle Johnson, Ms. Nichols’s son, to speak for the family. Ms. Nichols had a long career as an entertainer, beginning as a teenage supper-club singer and dancer in Chicago, her hometown, and later appearing on television. But she will forever be best remembered for her work on “Star Trek,” the cult-inspiring space adventure series that aired from 1966 to 1969 and starred William Shatner as Captain Kirk, the heroic leader of the starship crew; Leonard Nimoy (who died in 2015) as his science officer and adviser, Mr. Spock, an ultralogical humanoid from the planet Vulcan; and DeForest Kelley (who died in 1999) as Dr. McCoy, a.k.a. Bones, the ship’s physician. She was among the first Black women to have a leading role in a TV series. She later worked with NASA to recruit minorities for the space program.

All-female team breaks world record by rowing from California to Hawaii Four female rowers made history last Tuesday morning when they arrived in Hawaii after rowing more than 2,400 nautical miles from California to Hawaii. Libby Costello, Sophia Denison-Johnston, Brooke Downes and Adrienne Smith of the Lat35 team started the Great Pacific Race in San Francisco in June and arrived in Honolulu after rowing for 34 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes. “I feel totally overwhelmed in the best way by love. And I’m also exhausted,” Denison-Johnston told “Good Morning America”. The teammates took turns rowing in two-hour shifts and averaged just 90 minutes of sleep per day. They rowed unassisted and it was also their first time rowing in the deep ocean. They also relied on boil-to-order prepackaged meals for sustenance and had to endure seasickness, extreme wind and rough seas. Last year, a four-man team also set a world record rowing from San Francisco to Honolulu in 30 days, 7 hours and 30 minutes, breaking the previous 2016 record of 39 days, 9 hours and 56 minutes.

SEC charges 11 with creating, promoting $300 million crypto ‘Ponzi scheme’
TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS, 6.30AM TO 7.15AM. STARTS FROM 30 AUGUST @QLDCSportRec
qldc.govt.nz/recreation
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday said it charged 11 individuals over their roles in the creation and promotion of a fraudulent crypto pyramid and Ponzi scheme that raised more than $300 million from retail investors. The agency alleged that Forsage.io, a website that allowed millions of retail investors to enter into transactions via smart contracts that operated on the Ethereum, Tron, and Binance blockchains, has operated as a pyramid scheme for over two years, with investors making money by enrolling others into the scheme. According to the SEC’s complaint, the platform allegedly used assets from new investors to pay earlier investors. It is the SEC’s latest move in tackling alleged crypto-related frauds, after the agency in May nearly doubled the size of its newly renamed Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit MarketWatch
