Pet safety in disaster n by Meg Fulford

"W

hat About Waldo?" is a reminder to devise 'pet preparedness plans' as well as thinking about family in emergency situations.

A Civil Defence initiative, it is a timely reminder to prepare all of the household in the event of disaster, such as flooding or earthquake.

As part of the promotion, a poster design competition is open for children, encouraging them to get in and play a part in acknowledging pet safety.

Grey District Council librarian Jodie Wainwright has been nominated as the 'local animal welfare co-ordinator' for the Grey District Civil Defence.

With a degree in animal sciences, and studying her masters in animal welfare, Miss Wainwright was the ideal candidate to front the campaign with Waldo.

"The idea is to be ready in case of having to evacuate, in which case you would have a 'grab bag' to last maybe a day or two, and have a more substantial one in case of being cut off, which would have supplies for up to two weeks."

The 'What About Waldo?' logo and accompanying leaflet was designed and created by local artist Jay Worling, while the project also includes experienced volunteers from across the animal sector including animal control, SPCA West Coast, MPI, dog groomers, local kennels/ cattery owners and other local businesses.

They have also launched an exciting competition for children to design a poster. The deadline for entries is October 31, and entry forms can be picked up at the Grey District Library or Westland Recreation Centre.

Waldo, recipient of a 2019 Civic Award from the Grey District Council, has visited several primary schools in the area this term accompanied by owner Kate Shannon.

The visits teach children what they need to put in their 'pet preparedness packs', and hopes to visit more schools once the Coast returns to level 1.

T

he Inangahua A and P Show has some new committee members who are bringing lots of new and exciting ideas, but ensuring the heart of the show remains.

"We want to build on the solid foundations created by the previous committees, and create new traditions," committee president Robyn Abbey said.

The show relies on support from community members, and the committee is keen to hear from anyone willing to volunteer.

For instance, at last year's show one of the committee members, Liz Sheehan, spent the whole day on the photography section without being able to take much of a lunch break. That is just some of the sort of help that is needed – an hour to cover a lunch break, a couple of hours directing and coordinating stallholders to their sites, writing thank you letters, taking entries, assisting with the coal shovelling by writing down times, marketing the show on Facebook, running an event like 'steampunk cosplay' ...

Volunteers will get free entry to the show and a buffet lunch.

Anyone interested can phone Robyn Abbey on 021 246 3804 or look out for show information at the Reefton Saturday Market.

NETWORKING, events, working bees, and socialising are back on the calendar for Young Farmers on the West Coast.

The brand-new Westland Young Farmers' Club has been launched for anyone from rural communities in the district aged 15 to 31yrs to join.

Tasman regional chairwoman Cheyenne Wilson said the decision was made to form a new club to service the West Coast, based in Greymouth, after a number of people expressed interest about getting involved.

"This is really exciting for all young people on the West Coast because you don't have to work on a farm to join as a member, you could work in any part of a rural community or just want to sign up to make new friends," she said.

"It's such a good opportunity to get off the farm, to network and to meet new people because socialising is such a big part of being a club, not to mention the leadership opportunities that you can gain through Young Farmers.

"Isolation is one of the biggest issues young people face on the Coast, given it's such a large, vast area which is sometimes hard to access. Farmstrong research has proved how being a member of New Zealand Young Farmers has a positive impact on mental well-being by getting people off the farm for events and meetings and giving members something to look forward to. All the evidence is

there that there's so much to gain," Ms Wilson said.

The club officially launched three weeks ago and held its first AGM last Wednesday.

Ms Wilson hoped everyone in the rural community would get behind and support the new club and its members.

"We want farm owners and corporates to support their employees to join and help them find the time to get along to meetings and events."

New Zealand Young Farmers chief executive Lynda Coppersmith said it is great to see young people in the district want to get involved with the organisation and what it has to offer.

"We're really looking forward to helping Westland Young Farmers as the club grows and seeing young people in the area come together.

"It's heartening to see young people still turning towards clubs to network and make new friends, especially in this digital age. It just goes to show how important having something to look forward to such as a meeting or event is and how you just can't beat face to face interaction."

Westland Young Farmers will meet once a month (date, time and place to be confirmed) and has replaced Grey Valley branch, which was put into recess in 2019.

Team looks to ditch coal from historic steamship

A

feasibility study is under way to investigate whether Queenstownbased steamship the TSS Earnslaw can become carbon neutral or carbon zero while conserving her proud heritage.

On her 109th anniversary, Real NZ chief executive Stephen England-Hall announced it was exploring alternative ways to generate steam to fuel the steamship.

"The TSS Earnslaw is proud to be the oldest coal-fired passenger-carrying steamship in the Southern Hemisphere. She's a much-loved icon of Queenstown and a significant part of New Zealand's history. But as responsible kaitiaki, we have to weigh up every inch of her heritage value with our ambition to protect and preserve the places where we operate."

The ship's original boilers would soon be over 110-years-old and would need replacing.

This would be a major and invasive piece of work, requiring the vessel to be out of the water for an extended period of time, Mr England-Hall said.

"We will essentially look for a new source of heat to generate steam that replaces the coal. The aim is to keep the engine room fully operational and intact."

The company had already established a TSS decarbonisation team and is looking at wood pellets (carbon neutral), bio-diesel fuel (carbon neutral), renewable hydrogen fuel (carbon zero), battery-electric (carbon zero) Sander Kristenson and Peter Dorrington in the TSS Earnslaw engine room. or fully electric (carbon zero).

Jobs for Nature funding awarded for Buller

T

he Buller District has secured more than $1.4 million of funding to go towards the creation of jobs and weed control in the district through its involvement in the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance and partnership with The Nature Conservancy, a global conservation organisation.

The funding will create up to eight new Buller-based jobs for three years to protect, restore, and enhance some of Buller's most ecologically significant sites, including estuaries, wetlands, lowland forest remnants as well as unique limestone and coal measure ecosystems.

Council's acting group manager community services Krissy Trigg says: "The funding outcome showed that participating in the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance and putting the work in to liaise with our partners, identify opportunities, and develop a sound funding application in conjunction with The Nature Conservancy pays out".

"Being part of the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance enables council to secure a better future for nature and people in Buller."

The funding will go to MBC Environmental Ltd and Buller District Council. MBC Environmental, a Westport-based specialist in environmental management solutions, will employ a Buller-based contract weed team equivalent to six full-time positions.

Ms Trigg says: "The work of the weed team will build on the efforts already undertaken by contractors and volunteers in our district.

Growing their workforce will enable them to expand their conservation work, align it with other significant projects occurring across the region and create employment."

Council will employ a community engagement and operational liaison person. This is a newly created role within council.

"The new position will be key to identify future restoration opportunities in the district, secure future funding for green jobs, and create ongoing environmental gains. Having more hands on the ground and a strategic person looking ahead, will help to achieve long-term maintenance of biodiversity gains and jobs."

Pandemic delivers financial punch to prostate cancer support

…your eye care specialist

NOEL TEMPLETON OPTOMETRIST 217 Palmerston Street, Westport Phone: 789 7677 www.noeltempleton.co.nz

PROSTATE Cancer Foundation of New Zealand (PCFNZ) chief executive Peter Dickens was really hoping 2021 would be the year. After Covid-19 lockdowns disrupted the charity's annual fundraising effort in 2020, he felt confident that 2021 would see Blue September supporters rise to the challenge and raise the $1 million needed to help support New Zealand men dealing with a prostate cancer diagnosis.

Instead, as New Zealand battles with alert level restrictions, he watches history repeating.

"Blue September is our annual fundraising drive, and our greatest tool in raising enough money to provide vital support for the 42,000 men currently living with prostate cancer in our country.

"Our supporters were all geared up to run Blue Do's – bluethemed morning teas and other social events – and although many have been able to come up with creative ideas within their bubbles, we've only been able to raise half the funds we need."

A forecast shortfall of up to $500,000 means those with prostate cancer – men such as 70-year-old Vivian Hahipene –are likely to miss out on access to support meetings, education and advocacy at a time when demand is rising.

Whakatane-based Hahipene was diagnosed in 2019 and experienced a journey sadly typical of that faced by regional, rural and Māori men – inequitable access to health services, lack of information, poor communication and treatment delays. He is now working closely with the foundation to champion improved diagnosis, treatment, support and safety for Māori men and their whānau in the Bay of Plenty.

He says he was able to lean on PCFNZ during the fight of his life.

"Men like me affected by

prostate cancer rely on the wealth of information available through PCFNZ, the practical support they provide to help those going through treatment, the volunteers that lend a hand as well as the opportunities the charity creates so we can connect with others with prostate cancer," says Hahipene.

The foundation funds an extensive national support network for men and their families living with prostate cancer, including 45 support groups using the funds raised each year during Blue September.

The impact of the lockdowns on fundraising this year may impact the ability of PCFNZ to maintain these and support the volunteers who lead them.

PCFNZ also provides shortterm financial assistance to the men and their families forced into hardship by an unexpected prostate cancer diagnosis.

"The spectrum of work PCFNZ does for men like myself is extraordinary. It's unthinkable that others might miss out on these important services," Hahipene says.

Dickens agrees it would be a tragedy for the charity to face cutbacks as a result of a severe funding shortfall.

"If we add up our losses from 2020 and 2021, it's around $800,000 which is a sizeable chunk of our operating costs," he says.

"Around 300 fundraising events have been cancelled across the

country – all of which would have contributed towards our $1 million goal.

"The current situation could see the charity's 0800 information helpline threatened, meaning over 400 men diagnosed with prostate cancer next year will miss out on information vital to making critical decisions on their treatment and support."

And there are concerns, too, about the impact the lockdown has had on men needing regular PSA testing – the blood test that can indicate that urgent further investigation for prostate cancer by specialist clinicians is needed.

"Lockdowns have dramatically increased the possibility that thousands of men have delayed getting their PSA test. For the best possible outcome, we need these tests to be done sooner rather than later," Dickens says.

One in eight New Zealand males develops prostate cancer in his lifetime – the disease affects more New Zealanders than breast cancer does.

"We'll lose another 55 men to prostate cancer next month," warns Dickens, "and we're worried that number will climb if testing doesn't get back to pre-lockdown levels as quickly as possible.

"Those who wish to support us and help make up our two-year funding shortfall can make a donation at www.blueseptember.org.nz"

Irish upbringing in A plea to the West Coast – memoir think pink for breast cancer

B

S

ent from Ireland to work in a women's prison in France at age 17 made for a challenging and interesting life, for new Greymouth-based author Kathleen Byrne.

Byrne launched her memoirs at the Greymouth RSA on October 16.

Originally from Ireland, she moved to Greymouth five years ago.

Byrne began writing short stories about her life at the Mawhera Writer's Group until her writings amassed into a memoir.

Away ... For God's Sake begins with her early life in post-World War Two Ireland. Times were tough, but it was an idyllic childhood steeped in

PICTURE: Laura Mills

tradition and Catholicism.

The book details her decision at 17 to join a religious order in France, where she was sent to work and live in a women's prison in Paris. Without any training and very little knowledge of the language, she struggled with homesickness, despair and loneliness.

Her story reveals how and why she left the convent and the indelible effect it had on the rest of her life.

The book has just been published

by Copy Press in Nelson and will be available directly from Kathleen Byrne - author Facebook page, on-line from Copy Press or at Red Books bookshop in Greymouth.

reast Cancer Foundation NZ is asking the people of the West Coast to generously support local pink ribbon fundraisers happening this weekend.

Volunteer collectors will be stationed around the region for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal on Friday and Saturday, October 29-30, then on Saturday, Breast Cancer Awareness Month culminates with New Zealand's first ever neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walk.

Extended Covid-19 restrictions around the country have forced the cancellation of two major fundraisers this year – the Pink Ribbon Walks in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal in Auckland. The charity expects to lose more than $500,000 in income as a result, and it is now appealing to the people of the West Coast to help make its remaining events a success.

Ah-Leen Rayner, chief executive of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, said: "As a charitable trust that receives no Government funding, we rely entirely on the goodwill of New Zealanders to keep our life-saving work going. But the ongoing Covid restrictions are severely impacting our ability to fundraise. Every dollar we've lost to Covid is money we can't spend on supporting patients in their time of need, cutting-edge research, and education programmes to stop deaths from breast cancer.

"We know this is devastating for our supporters, who volunteer or walk to honour the women they've lost, or to mark their own journey with breast cancer. However, we're still committed to making the rest of our events a huge success and we hope the West Coast community will get behind our efforts to fight against breast cancer."

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for New Zealand women under 65 and every year around 15 women are diagnosed with it in the West Coast District Health Board area.

The neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walks encourage people to fundraise by getting dressed up in pink and walk in their own communities.

Participants will get the chance to warm up virtually with Celebrity Trewasure Island star Joe Naufahu, and win prizes via social media throughout the day.

Sign up for a neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walk at pinkribbonwalk.co.nz/virtual and follow @ pinkribbonNZ on social media for all of the virtual action on the day.

Donations can be made to the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal through volunteer collectors who will be out in force shaking pink buckets or on=line at pinkribbonappeal.co.nz Money raised from the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal and neighbourhood Pink Ribbon Walks will go towards Breast Cancer Foundation's work to support patients, fund ground-breaking scientific projects and educate New Zealanders about the importance of early detection.

Ex Footy Player Discovers Support KORU NUTRITION

Keith would describe his younger self as definitely a ‘man’s man’.

Work hard, play harder and ‘shake it off’ if need be. Looking back Keith realised that those early hay days were great.

“I loved being out on the footy field; climbing through the grades Keith made a name for himself being a hardman. Big tackles, sprinting from ruck to ruck and then back again; nothing like a bit of healthy competition to get my blood pumping.”

A lifetime of exercise, a good diet and the occasional supplement has worked an absolute treat. However for Keith, although health is key, he has still gone through the normal day to day of a physically demanding job.

An old footy mate asked one day if he had tried Koru Fx from Koru

Nutrition. They said they’d been using the cream to support their joints and muscles.

“I said I would give it a go, so he threw me a bottle.”

What Keith wasn’t aware of is that Koru Fx by Koru Nutrition has become NZ’s #1 fastest growing topical joint support cream,

with thousands of happy customers.

“It smelt good, and felt great. It is just nice to go about my day, be it carrying every bag of shopping in for my wife in one go, off to aqua aerobics and swimming or just larking about; Koru Fx gives me the confidence I need, to continue to live my

active life.”

Containing high quality oils like calendula, arnica, manuka and peppermint, along with twelve others, Koru Fx provides the perfect formulation for fast acting joint and muscle support.

Ask for Koru Fx cream next time you’re in the pharmacy and try it for yourself.

Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition, Christchurch.

Ask a P R O F E S S I O N A L I have been told that I have Prediabetes – what does this mean and are there any services on the West Coast that can support me with this?

Prediabetes is when the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood is higher than normal but not high enough to have type 2 diabetes.

Insulin is the hormone made by the body that controls blood glucose levels and in prediabetes, there is not enough insulin being made or it is not working as well as it should. Prediabetes affects 1 in 4 people in NZ and is usually diagnosed by a blood test called the HbA1c.

This measures the average blood glucose in your blood over the previous 2-3 months and if

your level is between 41-49 mmol/mol then you have prediabetes.

By making some lifestyle changes, you have a chance to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes. The Dietitians and Green Prescription Coordinator at the West Coast Primary Health Organisation are here to support you to do this.

Our FREE services are easy to access.

Simply ask for a referral from your health care provider (GP) or refer yourself by visiting www.westcoastpho.org.nz/

• In-person Dietitian appointments held in Greymouth, Hokitika, Westport and Reefton or via phone or video call for those who cannot make it into a clinic • Melon - A 16 week online health program with support from a dietitian as their health coach • Green Prescription – support with increasing physical activity levels More information can also be found at www.healthnavigator.org.nz/health-a-z/d/ diabetes-pre-diabetes/

Am I better off buying or leasing a vehicle?

While we tend to advise our clients to purchase a vehicle if you can afford it, there are situations where leasing can be the better option for you, especially if you just require a vehicle over a short term. We suggest asking yourself the following questions to ensure you a making the right decision for your business?

Do you have the capital to finance a vehicle?

Financing a vehicle upfront will include on-road costs, interest/finance charges and may require a deposit. Interest rates may rise putting additional stress on financing payments. It’s important to evaluate your capital and cash flows to determine if you can afford to buy.

Is asset ownership a priority to your business?

Owning a vehicle gives you a practical, valued asset without any mileage restrictions or use limitations that may fall under a lease agreement. This gives you more control and the motivation to pay off an asset that you own.

However, it also means you are responsible for the upkeep and eventual sale of the asset.

Under a lease you can swap for a different make or model, reducing the stress that comes with the maintenance of a vehicle. However, lease agreements often contain a “make good” clause which can come as quite a surprise at the end of the lease.

JEFFREY KAY | Chartered Accountant CUFFS Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors Ph (03) 755 8866

What are the tax advantages?

Over the long term there is no real tax advantage to between the two options.

Long term finance leases are treated the same as if you had purchased the vehicle, where the vehicle is depreciated over its useful life. The main difference between the two is GST can be claimed on the purchase of a vehicle straight away, whereas under a lease agreement GST is only claimed with each payment.

Consider these questions when evaluating which option is better for your business.

Ask a P R O F E S S I O N A L As an employer, what do I need to keep in mind when promoting flexible working arrangements with employees?

There are four things to keep in mind about flexible working: 1. Employment Relations Act First, it is important to remember employment law still applies. While employers and employees are navigating a new world in the COVID-19 era, it doesn’t change employment obligations. The Employment Relations Act sets out timeframes for responding to flexible working requests and the reasons an employer can refuse a request. So, know your rights/ obligations under the Act. 2. Individual Employment Agreement Similarly, don’t forget the individual employment agreement. What does it say?

What rights/obligations does it create? If the flexible working arrangement is outside

of the terms of the employment agreement, it is important to consider whether a formal variation of the agreement is required.

Variations should be recorded in writing to avoid disputes down the track.

3. Workplace Policy A flexible working policy can be a helpful tool for flexible work arrangements as it creates a process for requests and sets expectations.

A policy should cover: (a) The process for making a request including what information is required, how a request should be made and who will make the decision. (b) Health and safety considerations. (c) Who will cover any costs of working remotely, if any. (d) Expectations of employees (i.e. should calls

be forwarded to cell phones, attendance at meetings etc.)

4. Bias Despite the changing times there often remains a perception that if you aren’t in the office doing the 9-5, you aren’t working as hard as those who are. However, studies show that flexible working can increase employee engagement and productivity. It’s important to check any assumptions that you or others in the workplace hold around flexible working.

Flexible working has benefits to both employers and employees and flexible working means just that, working flexibly. Hard and fast rules often won’t work. The important part is making sure that you and your employees are on the same page.

What’s the best way to sell online?

One of the learnings brought home to many businesses from the Covid 2020 outbreak, was the importance of an online presence and the ability for customers to engage and transact online.

According to NZ Posts e-commerce report, more than 2.17 million people or 53% of NZ’s population spent $5.8b online in 2020.

So how does one go from a consumer buying, to selling and making money online?

ERIC MARTINI | Technology Specialist Byte -Mawhera Digital Hub

1 Guinness St, Greymouth | PH 03 738 2983

Payment Processing only – (Paypal, Paymate, Stripe...)

Pro: No websites to maintain.

Con: more manual processing, ie setting up individual transactions Like any service that you sign up to, there are terms and conditions and fees. Make use of any free trial periods to familiarise yourself with the platform, and make sure you’re familiar and comfortable with the services offered, before committing.

Ngakawau – A place to call home

Belinda Girl's artwork, crochet and fur boots.

n by Rose O'Connor in Westport

B

elinda Girl is a woman with many strings to her bow. She moved to Ngakawau about four years ago with long term partner Maurice Flanagan.

However, the former dog breeder, horse breeder, bus and truck driver, artist, butchery owner, crayfish stall and campground proprietor has many tales to tell.

Belinda grew up on Great Barrier Island.

"As a single woman with no kids and no formal education I have had to do whatever I could to make a living," Belinda says.

She worked at many varied jobs on the island at a time when people around her were making the most of the welfare system and solo mothers were having many children.

"Ironically, many of them now own multimillion dollar properties on the island!"

She always had a passion for horses so left Great Barrier to pursue that further. She still owns a fifth generation horse from the original one she bought over 40 years ago.

"He is a gelding who is about to go to Nikau to plough and disc. He's a work horse and for riding."

Belinda established herself in South Auckland. She has bred champion horses from two 'Sir Tristan' foals.

"One is still showjumping but there is not much competition at the moment!"

For three years Belinda worked for the British Merchant Navy shipping horses to the United Kingdom.

"There were often a couple destined for Prince Charles."

On one of these voyages, she met and later married a Scottish crewman, Maurice.

"You are allowed to make one major mistake in your life!" she joked as she regaled the tale of marrying him while he was on remand in prison for gun running. He served one year before following her to New Zealand.

"I eventually managed to have him extradited," she said.

PICTURES: Rose O’Connor

From the North Island, Belinda and Maurice set up on their 30 acre property at Owen River near Murchison and continued to breed horses. Belinda owned the local bus company and butchery and won a national award for bacon.

However, the allocating of the school bus runs to Ritchies meant the eventual closure of the bus company.

"We attended workshops to learn the new government tendering system which were actually run by Ritchies. They then stepped in and undercut us. Around 50 bus companies went under with the stroke of a pen and the government allowed that to happen. I will never go into business again."

Belinda had previously been a finalist in the Nelson Business Awards.

The couple left Murchison after 15 years and travelled around the South Island in a house bus, eventually settling in Kaikoura. They leased Kaikoura Crayfish and Camp 32km north of the town and enjoyed the lifestyle.

However, it all came crashing down when the Kaikoura earthquake struck.

They were living at the epicentre. The house they were living in was yellow-stickered, later to be red-stickered. They lost $20,000 in crayfish they had just purchased for the summer season and ended up giving much of it away to helicopter pilots before it went off. They had no electricity.

Belinda recalls seeing the destroyed former State highway being totally covered in snails.

"They were on the move!"

Where the couple lived also meant they were cut off from Kaikoura and 'abandoned' when Blenheim stepped in to help. However, they and around six others were geographically excluded. The owners did not help them.

"It was very tragic."

They lasted seven months before moving to the property they had earlier purchased at Ngakawau, living 'rough' in a tent for two years until they could get a small house built.

"It was very interesting after the earthquake.

The uplift that occurred so suddenly meant fish were trapped tail up in kelp. The stink for

months was terrible."

Belinda is currently employed as a transport manager for an American company the National Outdoor Leadership School, a worldwide company with 11 branches.

American students aged between 18 and 23yrs spend 77 days in New Zealand on a visitor's permit and rotate around activities they have selected such as kayaking, mountaineering, tramping and sailing. 'Leave no trace' is their motto.

Belinda was tasked with finding a fast way off mountains and the sea and returning the students to the United States on the eve of lockdown last year.

"I was in charge of meeting and greeting the students, organising their travel safely to New Zealand and to and from activities. I've sure been to some extreme places with my bus carting kayaks!"

With no students now predicted to return for the foreseeable future, Belinda has her

sights set on a stint in Antarctica for three months doing 'whatever I can!' She applied to work with a dog team there over 40 years ago but it didn't eventuate. Now she has to play the waiting game and in the meantime organise care for Maurice, who has early onset dementia.

Belinda also volunteers locally. Her mother was a talented painter who taught her children many practical skills including cooking, preserving, sewing and knitting.

She now volunteers and is a member of the Torea Gallery and Studios at Granity.

She makes possum skin boots, crochets using natural dyes she sources from local environment and creates scenes and frames using natural products.

The couple spend time working on their two acre property and make the most of the nearby beach which their three dogs love visiting. They are happy to call Ngakawau 'home.'

Girl Guide biscuits make a return

N

ew Zealanders looking to support the empowerment of girls will now be able to with a packet of muchloved original Guide biscuits, which have returned to Countdown, Super Value and Fresh Choice shelves.

With approximately 80,000 to 100,000 packets sold in the first two weeks last year, Guide biscuit lovers are encouraged to get in quick, so they do not miss out.

Thanks to Griffin's and Countdown, $1 from each pack of Guide biscuits sold will be going to Girl Guiding New Zealand. Funds raised will help provide empowering programmes for girls and young women, giving them a voice, and providing additional support and training for volunteers.

Lauren McKinnon, Girl Guiding New Zealand's general manager engagement and experience, says: "We're thrilled that Griffin's and Countdown have once again partnered to make Guide biscuits available to provide some comfort after such a challenging year".

"I can't think of a better way to treat yourself, or someone else, by buying some Guide biscuits as a little pick-me-up, while at the same time, helping to empower girls to be the best they can be.

"Having the biscuits available in supermarkets has meant we can focus on enabling girls to access and enjoy as many life-changing opportunities and experiences as possible."

Kiri Hannifin, Countdown's general manager corporate affairs, safety and sustainability, says they are excited to support Girl Guiding New Zealand once again and are pleased to welcome the much-loved biscuits back into their stores for a third year running.

"Guide biscuits are always a hit with our customers and are one of our most popular selling biscuits -- Kiwis obviously have a real love for the nostalgic treat. It's also a really

Girl Guides welcome the return of their traditional fundraising biscuits.

easy way to help the important work of Girl Guiding New Zealand to help empower girls across Aotearoa."

Dan Gilbert, Griffin's managing director,

PICTURE: Supplied

says: "Griffin's has been proudly baking the iconic Girl Guide biscuits for over 60 years. We were thrilled to help raise over $400,000 for Girl Guiding NZ in the 2020-21

season through this fundraising initiative and are delighted to be able to partner with Countdown and support Girl Guiding New Zealand again in the 2021-22 season."

Vector Free Marlborough Limited wishes to advise that a ground-based possum control operation will be taking place 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 will be conducted as a part of OSPRI’s TBfree programme.

Description of control area Taipo: Between Hohonu and Otira including the river flats and farmland of the Taramakau reaching into side catchments of Big Wainihinihi and Taipo Rivers. It takes in Turiwhate, Wainihinihi, Jacksons, Aickens and Otira.

Kokatahi, Kowhitirangi and Milltown: Covering the pastoral farmland south of Hokitika it takes in the Kokatahi, Kaniere, Arahura and Hokitika Rivers, including the southern edge of Lake Kaniere and extends south to the Hokitika Gorge.

A map of the area can be found on the Vector Free Marlborough website under the Current Operations tab.

Operation date September 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 (approximate) 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 reusable bait stations 130cm above the ground.
