Coast children ‘brighter’ by Rose O’Connor in Westport

W

est Coast school children will be far more visible and safer on the roads thanks to a combined initiative involving Coast-wide businesses. Twenty-one primary schools throughout the Coast recently received 400 bright yellow, high visibility vests. Large numbers of heavy vehicles travel on West Coast roads with the roadsides often lacking verges. The businesses involved in providing high visibility safety vests are aiming to ensure primary school children who travel daily on school buses are well equipped. Schools from South Westland to Buller have been included in the scheme, Peter Anderson, the manager of Network Outcomes Contract (NOC) said. “As we go about our daily work our group of businesses account for a significant volume of heavy vehicle movements,” Mr Anderson said. “As a result, we are very keen to help ensure our kids are safe on and near the roads. “The focus of the

project is the safety of young children waiting, boarding and disembarking from school buses in all kinds of weather.” The businesses are part of the collaborative group that maintains the region’s State highways on behalf of Waka Kotahi, the NZ Transport Agency. (NZTA). West Coast NOC businesses include Fulton Hogan, Westreef, MBD Contracting, Westroads, WSP, Spray Marks, MBC Environmental Services, and Glen Monk Contracting. The company names are included on the vests. The high-vis vest initiative is also supported by NZTA, Ritchies Transport and the West Coast Road Safety Coordinating Committee. Fulton Hogan had previously provided schools with the vests but this year it combined with the other businesses. At Sacred Heart School in Reefton recently receiving its allocation of 20 high visibility vests were Willow Ricketts, left front, Maya White, Harry Murray and Jarna Franicevich, with Morgan Newburry of MBC, back left, NOC contract manager Peter Anderson of Fulton Hogan and Sacred Heart principal Tony Webb.

Coast Cave and Vertical Rescue A vital volunteer rescue service

A team doing some bush rigging up on the Peter Ridge behind Greymouth — beware of the holes!

C

oast Cave and Vertical Rescue (CCVR) is a small specialist rope rescue team capable of carrying out both cave (tomo) and non-alpine cliff rescues under difficult conditions day or night anywhere on the West Coast. The team was originally called the Greymouth Cave Rescue team which began 1997, but in 2003 the name was changed to reflect its broadened scope of activities — its expanded area and incorporating cliff rescue work. Today the team is a mix of men and women, all with caving experience, and mostly living in the greater Greymouth area. As volunteers they give up their own time to train in the latest rope rescue techniques in order to offer this specialist service. Some team members are also members of Land Search and Rescue (SAR) teams at Greymouth, Westport and Hokitika which brings added expertise and experience to rope rescue work. The team’s gear store with ropes, stretchers, rigging gear and patient rescue kit is kept in Runanga which is handy to both the Greymouth area, where there are many tomos and old mine shafts, and to the many caves in the Paparoas between Punakaiki and Charleston. Over the weekend of October 19-20 a number of team members attended a training course, at the Catholic Schools of Greymouth Gym (formerly

the Civic Centre’) with instructor Chris Whitehouse from Waitomo. Saturday was spent in the gym learning and practising current theory in rope rescue systems, rigging and using different types of stretchers, and the use of ‘counter-balance’ for deep cave rescues. On Sunday team members spent the day putting Saturday’s work into practice on a couple of 12m deep tomos near the top of the electricity transmission line track off the Puketahi Street extension, up on the Peter Ridge behind Greymouth. Working in small teams with a live patient (not stretchered) emphasis at each tomo was on rigging well then getting the rope hauling systems working smoothly, a twin system of main haul line and belay line being used. The teams came together to finish off the day by constructing a ‘Tyrolean Traverse’ across one of the tomos, then used haul and belay lines to safely transport ‘volunteers’ across the hole. Since 1997 team members have been involved in two major cave rescues in the Nelson region, a few minor emergencies on the West Coast and the rescue of a number of animals, mostly dogs, from some quite precarious places — sometimes after quite lengthy delays. Delays in the rescuing of animals can be shortened by members of the public remembering that the ‘111’ call system is for people only and that for an animal rescue they should either call a CCVR team member direct or call their local Police Station, RSPCA or vet clinic, which hold team contact details. Yann-Pierre Montelle demonstrates crossing the tomo on the ‘Tyrolean Traverse’ with instructor Chris Whitehouse watching.

Westport Pact staff celebrate its 20th — Tania Craig, Wendy Bettjeman, Zara McCaffrey and Michelle Roos.

Pact marks 20th

P

act celebrated its 20th year in Greymouth recently with a shindig. Staff and clients turned up in all manner of outfits in keeping with the colour scheme. The board also attended the event, at the Blaketown Rugby Club rooms. “Everyone came together,” West Coast manager Karen Nancekivell said. Five staff celebrated 20 years with Pact, including Ms Nancekivell. Pact started as an organisation called

the Patients’ and Prisoners’ Aid Society of Otago back in 1877. In the 1980s two new trusts were set up to provide separate services — one for patients (called PACT — which at the time stood for the Patients and Community Trust) and one for offenders (PARS — Prisoners Aid and Rehabilitation). Pact rapidly expanded in Dunedin in the 1990s and began services in Southland, followed by the West Coast, Balclutha and Oamaru.

for those impacted by proposed changes to legislation and policy in a range of areas which impact the Coast more than any other area in New Zealand as 87% of the Coast is DOC controlled. The policy announcements made by government in November 2017, when it announced no new mining on conservation land, stalled. The reality is ideology and reality move at different speeds Now it’s November 2019 and why this policy foundered will strike home. This country’s future mineral wealth sits on stewardship land which makes up 33.99% of all Coast land. It’s all conservation land, the

minister said. Much of it is gorse and weeds and successive governments have sat on their hands and done nothing to complete the evaluation. The Conservation Authority has been warned that a DOC controlled review will be like red rag to a bull leading up to an election. Stewardship land is just that — land held while it is being evaluated for either conservation, private purposes or extractive industries. The impact on Coast ratepayers is they fund 100% of Coast infrastructure and roading costs and the rating comes from just 13% of our total land area. The intended transfer of decision making to the Minister of Conservation for management of

our whitebait is an ideologically driven move aimed at shifting the power from the people to the minister. There is no financial information or cost benefit to support the legislation proposed, which will be followed by policy. Should Coasters just accept that policy approved by the minister would offer good unbiased protection of whitebait long-term? We have seen access to the Stevenson mine at Te Kuha denied by the minister, the Waitaha power scheme supported by iwi, councils, the Conservation Board and our Coast communities denied. There is also the inability of DOC to grant an access agreement between

Stockton and Denniston while at the same time transferring an extra 45,000ha of land stewardship land into National Park. There’s no give and take here folks, it’s just take, take, take. Significant natural reas on private land will start a battle where use of owners’ land is denied but the costs remain with the land owner. Yes, I will be at the rally on November 17 because I am concerned a life-style Coasters have enjoyed for 150 years will be destroyed by costs being imposed by ideology driven to lock the Coast up as the environmental conscience of the cities with no thought of the consequences for Coasters, again.

Technology helps trappers VOLUNTEERS at Rainy Creek near Reefton have started investigating different technologies to help their fight against rats and stoats. The Rainy Creek Ecological Restoration Programme has been under way since 2014 after predator control by Oceana Gold as part of their access arrangement with DOC ended in 2008. The project to protect birds and other creatures including bats and lizards in beech forest initially used standard DOC-200 traps enclosed in a wooden box. Baits for traps were initially eggs, then dried rabbit. Now, solid-state lures sprayed with salmon oil are used. Rainy Creek project lead volunteer Brenda Kaye said carrying a small bottle of salmon oil through the bush was a lot easier than ferrying two dozen eggs and, “it seems to work better in encouraging rats and stoats into the traps”.

In the past couple of years the group had expanded the trap area by using Goodnature A24 selfsetting traps for rats and stoats and Goodnature A12 traps for possums. These relied on a lure being released automatically and when an unfortunate rat or stoat put its head in an A24, or a possum in an A12 trap it was hammered, utilising a gas cylinder. “The great advantage of these traps is they do not have to be emptied and they are ready for the next predator in a couple of minutes,” Ms Kaye said. These traps have counters on them to record kills, but a new development recently was ‘chirps’. “A chirp unit sits on top of the trap and records the number of kills, and then talks to a smartphone with the appropriate app via Bluetooth — so you just have to walk past. Perhaps a volunteer will be replaced by a drone

that flies out with the smartphone to pick up the numbers.” A development for the Rainy Creek project is the use of trap cameras to find out what is actually happening in the bush. “These cameras are left in place and triggered by movement. Originally these trap cameras were developed for hunters looking for animals such as moose and deer, but there is no reason they shouldn’t capture rats or stoats in action. It is hoped that the cameras will verify what is happening in the field.” The Rainy Creek volunteer team continued to monitor forest health there by noting the number of robins and kakas on each visit. They are always on the lookout for mistletoe — a species heavily browsed by possums which normally causes the death of the plant. Rainy Creek volunteers are supported by grants from DOC and

New Zealanders embrace LEDs SUPERMARKET sales of energyhungry incandescent light bulbs have halved since 2015, a trend welcomed by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). However, the authority’s chief executive Andrew Caseley says there is still some way to go before all New Zealand homes will have switched to energy efficient LEDs. About 4.6 million incandescent light bulbs were sold in the year from May 2015 to the end of April 2016, dropping to about 2.8 million in the year to the end of April 2019. Sales of LEDs have grown from about 248,500 in 2015 to over 604,000 to the end of April 2019, Mr Caseley said. “These trends are very encouraging because LEDs save households money and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through reduced energy use. “If 100,000 more New Zealanders switched all their household lighting to LEDs, that would prevent 1669 tonnes of C02 being released into the atmosphere per year — that’s equivalent to roughly 35,000

people not flying from Auckland to Wellington per year.” The EECA Gen Less campaign encourages uptake of LEDs as an easy way for New Zealanders to reduce their carbon footprint. Mr Caseley said the message about the benefits of LEDs was getting through but he would like to see households replacing more of their old light bulbs. “It’s one of the simplest things that people can do to save electricity and reduce their carbon footprint. LEDs used to be expensive but you can now buy them on special for as little as $3 — making them affordable for many people.” Sales of LEDs remained lower than incandescent light bulbs but LEDs lasted up to 15 times longer than old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs and did not need replacing frequently. “People won’t be buying new LEDs every year so we think the most relevant figure is the drop in sales of inefficient incandescent light bulbs, Mr Caseley said.

in all aspects of the operation and very much appreciated. “A great benefit of volunteering is that you will stay (or get) fit as you help to protect the birds and forest,” Ms Kaye said. Please phone John on 03 768 4704 or Brenda on 03 732 8560 if you can help.

Bountiful urban gardening

by Rose O’Connor in Westport

K

ane Hogan has become a familiar sight as he tows his gardening trailer behind his bike in the Westport area. However, few may know Mr Hogan is on a mission. He has a vision to connect people to communities through gardening and he is well on his way to achieving that goal. Kane returned to Westport 18 months ago to be near his mother and currently lives on her property in Utopia Road. Having previously completed a very intensive nine month course in permaculture, he has been tutoring budding gardeners at No 37 Community House.

“I want to maximise the community gardens as the development of a new facility to promote backyard vegetable gardening for neighbourhoods,” he said. “This will help us to connect in meaningful ways. It is like a library drop in gardening centre to mentor and support gardeners in a sociable, relaxed setting.” Kane, who previously lived in Westport in the mid-2000s, grew up in Nelson and started as a fisherman at 16. He also worked as a builder for ten years but says he was “a very unhappy builder”. He describes himself more of a ‘poet type of person,’ playing music in cafes and at weddings. He studied

psychology during a stint in the United Kingdom as well as supporting himself through his music. After the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the infrastructure was broken but there was initially a reconnection with the people, and this had inspired. “That had such a great feeling to it and I started following a ‘yellow brick road’ with gardening and its connection to people and the quality of neighbourhoods.” However, he became a little disappointed at the way the city was being redeveloped. Kane did not want to be part of the workforce that continued on with the status quo in Christchurch but wanted to enrich people and communities in the development of a more beautiful culture. He went on a “journey of discovery” and undertook some WWOF-ing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms), mostly at the top of the South Island. This led him to working at the Koanga Institute, the

seed growing ‘capital’ in Wairoa, earning just $50 a week. However it allowed him to build up a rich knowledge through the expertise and a permaculture course at the institute. Eventually, he founded Food Gardens, at Oxford and established micro farming and growing salad greens all year round. This allowed a living by combining a commercial model of gardening with a social impact outlook in a sustainable model. He was now starting to find his niche which has led onto the facility being created at No 37 Community House and the Salvation Army garden in Westport. Kane says he had “a bit of a revelation” there needed to be a career path for establishing beautiful edible meaningful neighbourhoods. “The thing is that we are living in them and we need to maximise neighbourhoods. I have a vision of a modern day Garden of Eden, now woven with modern technology. We have to recruit young people to the vision.” With this in mind he has been liaising with Buller High School to try to get young people involved. A group of gardening enthusiasts meets at No 37 each Tuesday morning

from 10-12pm, followed by a shared lunch. They are also planning a Saturday morning session for those unable to attend during the week. “I went from zero knowledge at 45 to what I know now at 51 — so anyone else can do it to nourish themselves by growing food in their own backyard,” Kane says. “Raising seeds in a small space nourishes me mentally and physically. It calms me down and connects me to others in a meaningful way. I have images of neighbourhoods of abundance. “That was the catalyst and now I need people to help.” At No 37 he has built additional garden beds, a second green house, helped co-ordinate vegetable tables and baskets for pensioners and has plans for a track to meander through the grounds to allow more people to see the potential for beauty and abundance in neighbourhoods. Through this work at No 37 his involvement in developing the Salvation Army gardens to assist its food bank, Kane Hogan sees facilitating an important seedbed for the Westport community.

West Coast’s own advocacy A

new advocacy group set up on the West Coast earlier his year is going it alone. Graeme Axford, Jackie Farrelly and Anne Milligan have broken away from the Christchurch group, as they feel it is better to have things done locally. Their policy is to never ask for donations, and they say they are not interested in expanding anywhere else. In an update, the trio said not having a dedicated office phone number posed a small difficulty, “but the people we assist are

more concerned with how we can help them than worrying about an office contact”. “It has been decided when or if we can afford it to purchase a portable office on wheels that we can move around the West Coast towns with, thereby not being burdened with a restriction to one location and ongoing rent and associated costs.” As always, most calls for support came in the areas of Work and Income, employment and housing related issues, with the occasional ACC case, dealings with the Ministry of

Social Development and also Oranga Tamariki the Ministry for Children. They try to help with anything and for areas requiring more specialist input, assist with referrals. “One thing we won’t do is double up on services and where others are better placed or focused we always seek them out as some of them do us.” They have their own charitable status under Aotearoa Advocacy Services. You can find them on Facebook under Aotearoa Advocacy Services-West Coast. Anne Milligan, front, Jackie Farrelly and Graeme Axford.

Ban medicine ads — new research A MAJORITY of New Zealanders want advertisements for prescription medicines to be banned, a Consumer NZ survey shows. Consumer NZ head of research Jessica Wilson said New Zealand and the United States were the only two countries in the developed world that allowed directto-consumer advertising of prescription medicines. “We’ve been calling for these ads to be banned because they don’t provide

consumers with good information and they increase the risk of medicines being overprescribed,” Ms Wilson said. Consumer NZ’s survey found 57% of New Zealanders supported a ban on medicine advertising in favour of an independent health information service that could provide advice about treatment options. Just 15% thought drug advertising should continue. “Our survey also shows many consumers

don’t think these ads are giving them the full picture,” Ms Wilson said. Only 8% strongly agreed that medicine ads provided unbiased and comprehensive information about treatment. Many were sceptical about the motivations drug companies had for advertising. Fifty-nine percent strongly agreed companies were likely to spend the most money advertising medicines that gave them the most profit.

Colvin descendants gather in Westport

The West Coast Messenger

13

by Rose O’Connor in Westport

D

escendants of the Westport pioneer, mayor and early MP James Colvin gathered at Labour weekend to commemorate his life. The reunion coincided with the 100-year anniversary of Colvin’s untimely death outside Parliament in 1919 after he was run over by a tram, family spokesman Grant Elley said. Colvin was mayor of Westport from 1897 to about 1900 before being elected as Member of Parliament on an ‘independent liberal’ ticket for Buller. He remained in this role for 20 years until his death at age 75, having held many roles in Cabinet. He also served on many boards including the Nelson Education Board which encompassed Buller, the Buller County Council and the Westport Harbour Board. Mr Elley said that Uncle as James was commonly referred to in Parliament, was widely respected — especially for offering independent advice to all parties — and on his death the obituaries from all parties testified to that. In his time he was great friends with Eugene O’Conor and Richard John ‘King Dick’ Seddon. James Colvin was born in Killaghtee near Donegal, Ireland, in 1844. In the wake of the Potato Famine which wracked havoc on Ireland from the early 1840s into the 1850s, Colvin migrated as a 17-year-old to the Victoria goldfields at Ballarat. He then sought his fortune in Central Otago goldfields before trying his luck in Marlborough then the West Coast, settling at Addison’s Flat, north of Charleston where he owned a butcher’s shop. He later settled in Westport and owned several butcher’s shops. Colvin married Ballarat-born Kate Goodyear in Westport in January 1877. They had 12 children and over

900 descendants can be traced to them. This includes Colvin descendents came from near and far for the reunion including Paul Leslie, formerly of members of the Westport, and his wife Colleen, with Paul’s niece Bronwen Thorburn of Canada, centre, enjoying the celebrations. Elley, Leslie and Craig families still living in Buller. Mr Elley said the Colvin weekend reunion kicked off with a meet and greet at the Paterson Park Racecourse Tearooms — appropriate given Colvin was a past president of the Jockey Club. Descendants also gathered near the Gates of Remembrance at Victoria Square at the statue of Colvin, erected by the people of Westport in 1923 to honour him. A tour of the Clocktower Chambers was also arranged for the family and Buller Mayor Jamie Cleine was on hand. Other local sites of interest to the Colvin descendents were visited including O’Conor Home which James Colvin officially opened, and the middle cemetery at Utopia Road where he is buried. Mr Elley said the family also enjoyed the street parade celebrating 150 years of both the Westport Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Westport Muncipal Brass Band and its predecessors. West Coast-Tasman MP Damien O’Connor was present for a formal dinner attended by 130 on Saturday evening and the event concluded with a barbecue on Sunday and ‘Kiwiana’ games such as sack races and gumboot throwing. The James Colvin statue at Victoria Park, Westport. Relatives travelled from throughout New Zealand and from Australia and Canada for the reunion, as well as a large local contingent. Mr Elley said the weekend reunion had been ‘fantastic.’ “Everyone had a thoroughly great time.” The last Colvin family reunion was held in 1979 when a family history was produced. It had Raewyn Elley, left since been updated. and Fay Brown The next reunion had been cut the Reunion penciled in for 25 years’ time, Cake as the oldest which the younger generation family members would have to organise. attending.

BULLER SOUTH POSSUM GROUND CONTROL POISON WARNING Vector Free Marlborough Limited wishes to advise that the ground-based possum control operation underway will be continuing to keep possum numbers under control to prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis to livestock. It is important that we keep possum numbers low, as we work towards eradicating TB from New Zealand over the long term. This operation is being conducted as part of OSPRI’s TBfree programme. Description of control area The Buller South Ground Control Project comprises of farmed area from the Buller River at Westport and down to Charleston, extending inland from the coast to the base of the hill country below the Buckland Peaks, Mt Kelvin and Mt Euclid (17,882ha approx). The area includes Virgin Flat, Addison’s Flat, Cape Foulwind and Carters Beach. Operation date Ongoing until January 31, 2020. Poisoning methods, poison used and nature of poison Feratox encapsulated cyanide in the form of a capsule, dyed green/ blue, presented with feed-paste or similar attractant contained inside a reusable bait station attached to trees and posts. Where access is required, landowners will be approached for written permission for acceptable control methods on their property. The public is warned not to enter these areas and not to remove carcasses or baits. Baits are dangerous to people and dogs. General warning The public are reminded of the danger that toxic baits and possum carcasses pose, particularly to children and dogs. • Follow advice stated on poison warning signs • Do not touch poison baits, bait stations or traps • Do not touch poisoned possum carcasses • Keep children under strict supervision in the control area • Keep pets under supervision; do not let dogs eat poisoned carcasses The risks of poison carcasses to dogs may extend downstream of the control area. Game animals should not be taken for eating from within or adjacent to this area until it is declared clear of pesticides. Warning signs will be erected at all main public entry points and the public are reminded that it is an offence to remove any of these signs. Please follow the instructions stated on the signs. If you suspect poisoning • Contact your local hospital, or dial 111 • National Poisons Centre 0800 POISON - 0800 764 766 • In the case of a domestic animal being poisoned, contact a local veterinarian For further information please contact: Vector Free Marlborough Limited Free Phone: 0508 548 008 E-mail: communications@vectorfree.co.nz OSPRI helps protect and enhance the reputation of New Zealand’s primary industries and currently runs the TBfree and National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) programmes.

WORLD OF PENGUINS WESTPORT TALK Friday November 15, 7pm REAP Hall, Henley Street, Westport The West Coast Penguin Trusts presents

KAHURANGI PREDATOR CONTROL OPERATION Vector Free Marlborough Limited (VFML) wishes to advise the public of its intention to aerially apply the toxin Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) for the purpose of controlling rats and stoats in parts of Kahurangi National Park and surrounding areas between May and December 2019. The Kahurangi operation is being undertaken by VFML on behalf of the Department of Conservation (DOC) to protect vulnerable native species from introduced predators following a heavy mast (seeding) event in forests during the past few months. Treatment Area The Kahurangi treatment area takes in approximately 326,000 hectares of public land managed by the Department of Conservation and several other Crown agencies, as well as small areas of unformed road administered by district councils and privately-owned land. Boundaries of the treatment area extend from Kahurangi Point and Parapara in the north, to the top of the Owen Valley in the south. Much of the western boundary is defined by the coastline of the Tasman Sea before turning inland and loosely following parts of the Fenian Range, Stormy Ridge, Scarlett Range, Radiant Range, Allen Range, Matiri Range and Bald Knob Ridge. To the east, the boundary follows parts of the Lookout, Arthur and Lockett Ranges then crosses the Waingaro catchment, Anatoki Range and Anatoki catchment before skirting the eastern side of Parapara Peak and joining the northern boundary. The Kahurangi treatment area takes in catchments for many waterways, with the most notable being the Anatoki, Aorere, Cobb, Heaphy, Karamea, Little Wanganui, Owen, Stanley, Takaka, Waingaro and Wangapeka rivers. A detailed map of the wider treatment area and the various operational blocks is available from the VFML website, the DOC website (https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/things-to-do/hunting/pesticides/) and may also be viewed by appointment at DOC offices in Motueka, St Arnaud, Takaka and Westport during business hours from Monday to Friday. Public Access and Recreational Facilities Public access to the treatment area is provided by several roads, as well as a large number of back-county tracks and associated facilities managed by DOC. Affected roads and tracks in the various blocks will be closed to public access while the aerial application of toxic baits takes place, and afterwards until field staff have inspected for and removed most toxic baits. Roads and tracks will be open during non-toxic prefeed application, but access restrictions may be in place for short periods of time. Huts and other back-country accommodation will generally be excluded from bait application during the application of toxic bait to each block, although a number of very low-use sites may be over-sown subject to occupancy and consent conditions, in which case VFML field operatives will be onsite to inspect for and recover toxic baits from open areas afterwards. Affected DOC managed accommodation facilities such as huts and shelters in the treatment area will be provided with alternative drinking water supplies in accordance with Public Health Permit conditions while the application of toxic bait is carried out. Warning signage and access barriers will be in place at all track entrances while the application of toxic bait takes place, and DOC and/ or VFML representatives will be stationed at a number of key sites to control access and provide information to visitors. Advisory signage will be installed at key sites prior to non-toxic prefeed application. Commencement Date The Kahurangi project spans a large geographic area and has been divided into four blocks for operational purposes. Work in each block will commence with the aerial application of non-toxic cereal pre-feed pellets, and will be followed five or more days later by the aerial application of cereal pellets containing 1080. All work is weather dependent and the overall project may extend until approximately mid-December. This notice was originally published prior to commencement of pre-feeding from May 6, 2019 and the current publication of this notice is to confirm that work is ongoing. People intending to visit the Kahurangi treatment area before December 20, 2019 are therefore advised to check the VFML website for the status of each block and/or seek up-to-date information from the DOC website and local DOC offices. Bait Description Pre-feed: Non-toxic cereal based pellet, approximately 20mm long, cinnamon-lured and non-dyed (light brown/fawn in colour). Toxic bait: Cereal based pellet, approximately 20mm long, cinnamon-lured and dyed green with a toxic loading of 0.15% Sodium fluoroacetate (1080). Bait containing deer repellent may be used in some areas, but bait specifications for both prefeed and toxin are otherwise the same. All bait will be applied using helicopters equipped with global positioning system (GPS) hardware to ensure accurate placement and adherence to consent conditions. Precautions This pesticide is poisonous to humans and domestic animals. The public are reminded of the danger that toxic baits and possum carcasses pose, particularly to children and dogs. Children should be kept under strict supervision in the treatment area. Dogs should be kept under strict control at all times and not have access to, or be taken into the treatment area as they are particularly susceptible to accidental poisoning through contact with 1080 bait and poisoned carcasses. The risks of poison carcasses to dogs may extend downstream of the control area. Game animals should not be sold or taken for eating from within or adjacent to this area until it is declared clear of pesticides. Warning signs will be erected at all main public entry points and the public are reminded that it is an offence to remove any of these signs. Warning signage will remain in place until monitoring indicates that bait and carcasses no longer contain pesticide residues. Observe the following precautions whenever you see toxin warning signs present: • DO NOT touch baits • WATCH CHILDREN at all times • DO NOT EAT animals from this area • DEADLY TO DOGS, do not allow dogs access to animal carcasses If you suspect poisoning: Contact your local hospital, or dial 111 National Poisons Centre 0800 POISON - 0800 764 766 In the case of a domestic animal being poisoned, contact a local veterinarian. For further information please contact the Kahurangi Operation Controller: Vector Free Marlborough Limited, Private Bag 1007, Blenheim 7240 Free phone: 0508 548 008, E-mail: communications@vectorfree.co.nz Web: http://www.vectorfree.co.nz/current-aerial-operations.html Vector Free Marlborough Limited (VFML) is proud to work alongside the Department of Conservation to deliver the 2019 Kahurangi operation.

The West Coast Messenger

Wednesday, November 13, 2019

Point of contact for cancer sufferers Every year, 200 West Coast patients are diagnosed with cancer. There to help then is cancer nurse co-ordinator Andrea Reilly.

A

ndrea Reilly has worked as the West Coast DHB’s cancer nurse co-ordinator since 2013. She studied nursing at Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (now Ara Institute of Canterbury) as an adult learner. She started with the DHB as a new graduate in 2002 where she initially worked as a district nurse specialising in continence and urology care before moving into her current role. “As cancer nurse co-ordinator, I am the first point of contact for someone who has cancer or a high suspicion of cancer. For me, it is important that we are able to support our patients through what is a challenging and stressful time. “This includes explaining the DHB’s processes and systems around accessing treatment inclusive of wait times; providing advocacy and support; working closely with health care teams to co-ordinate care as well as ensuring that patients have all the information they need to clearly understand what their treatment involves,” she said. “It is a really comprehensive and PICTURE: West Coast DHB varied job. As well as working with Andrea Reilly, cancer nurse co-ordinator, right, with Megan Tahapeehi, Maori health administrator. around 15-20 patients at any one

time I undertake data collection; attend multi-disciplinary meetings and represent the DHB at both national and regional cancer group meetings. I am also involved in assessing our service and systems to help identify quality improvements and initiatives.” Her involvement at both regional and national level gives the DHB’s cancer services a voice. It also means that she is well placed to bring any improvements and educational opportunities back to the Coast. She says that this aspect of her work provides a good opportunity to develop strong working relationships with a range of service providers including Canterbury-based cancer specialists. “None of my work is done in isolation. I work as part of a great team locally which includes three oncology nurses and two palliative care nurses based in Greymouth and two oncology/ palliative care nurses in Buller. “To help us provide the best care for our patients, we have access to Canterbury-based cancer specialists through the DHB’s trans alpine partnership with the Canterbury DHB.

“This is really important as there are around three to five cancer identifications made on the Coast each week with an average of 200 new diagnoses each year,” she said. When undertaking an initial assessment, Andrea considers if there are any barriers that might impact on a person’s care. For example, limited access to transport to and from Canterbury for some types of treatment can be a significant barrier. She also uses the Ministry of Health’s Health Equity Assessment Tool (HEAT) to determine if there are any health inequalities — especially for Maori — that may need to be addressed before someone receives the right level of care. Andrea strongly believes that patients need to know their rights; to know that they can ask questions and that they are able to access the information they need to make informed choices about their own health. “Patients become the experts in their own care and know better than anyone what works best for them. It’s important that we listen and use what we learn to help our patients make informed choices about their treatment.”

A Call to Action Tarika Whakaroko, Kia Rite, Kia Mau!

West Coasters will gather in their thousands in an effort to protect the industries that support their towns, communities, and way of life.

These industries are made ever more marginal with blunt instruments like the new freshwater plan, no new mines on conservation land, the national policy statement on indigenous biodiversity, the risk of 35% of private land on the West Coast being labelled as a “significant natural area”, blocks to electricity generation proposals. It just keeps coming. West Coasters are gathering to celebrate how we live from the land and for the land, and highlight the threat posed to our way of life by well-intended but ill-considered government policies.

Event: Sunday 17 November 2019 commencing 10.30am, concluding 12noon

More than any other region in New Zealand, the West Coast makes its living off the land. Moss pickers, Dairy farmers, Beef farmers, Whitebaiters, Timber workers, Gold miners, Coal miners, Tourism operators, Conservation workers, Greenstone carvers. Where does it stop? All these industries are the ones that generate the jobs in our schools, hospitals, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants. The land-based industries underpin our communities, our local economies, and in turn our way of life, and our ability to be West Coasters. If the jobs go, people will follow.
