Community Kitchen, which serves dinners three times a week. Many catered birthday parties have been held at the Hideaway, and also projects such as weekly flax weaving classes, and a Friday evening youth gathering with games, a pool table etc – and they can eat for free some of the Community Kitchen dinners.

A new initiative is to convert some of the cabins into two-bedroomed family units. Two cabins have been completed and are tenanted, and a third is on the way attracting more small families. "The trust firmly stands by the no drugs or alcohol/binge drinking parties policy, as the Hideaway wants to ensure a safe place with family values, safeguarding children and

youth," manager Ramu Sannyasi said. "So there are several cabins untenanted, but the Hideaway is prepared to go through losses in revenue to ensure the social programmes are not compromised, the youth are protected, and for everyone to feel safe and have a sense of belonging to a place with family values.

"So slowly and surely, the Hideaway is being done up inside and out, and the tenants in the cabins right now are more appropriate to the values it holds," Mr Sannyasi said. Among the tenants are some professional people, and others that work alongside in the Community Kitchen and the Community

of consultation through appropriate organisations and government agencies for a drop-in centre for rural parents who have to wait for the children to finish school, youth and children who have to wait for the parents to finish work, or seniors who simply need a quiet place to read a book or novel.

New Westport store for all sizes n by Rose O'Connor in Westport

new women's clothing and antique store is set to open in Westport. The Pink Door is the culmination of months of hard work and planning by Samara and Mike File. "The 'official' opening was set for August 28 but due to lockdown, it will be sometime in level 1 or 2," Mrs File said. The leased premises at 92 Palmerston Street also became the initial 'donation drive' centre for Westport immediately after the recent floods. The couple, along with their three young children, opened up the building for the use of the drop off and collection centre, putting their own shop plans on hold. "We ran it for about two weeks until we outgrew the premises. We joined with Nuku and it moved to the old Parkhouse shop, where they now run it from. With three businesses between us – our roofing business and Samara is a real estate agent – it was also quite difficult to juggle everything especially with the girls." The Files moved to Westport in January, having made the decision to leave Auckland for a family-focused lifestyle after the first lockdown in 2020 and the later ones the city experienced. Mrs File had briefly lived in Westport about 10 years ago and knew it was where she wanted to raise their children. With a background as a hairdresser and makeup artist, she has huge plans for the new business. "I will specialise in designer second-hand women's clothing as well as new upcycled clothes. I work with a designer in Hamilton who puts my ideas in place. I will be trying to cater for women up to size 28, who

can often only purchase on-line without being able to touch the clothes and try them on." Mrs File is passionate about catering for all women and believes that the right clothes can help make people feel their best. "I have three daughters and it is important to me that they will be comfortable in their bodies, having had my own internal body image battles like most women, it affects your whole life and is very consuming. I want to hold sessions to promote positive body image and I'm lining up a series of speakers – it is an evolving project. It has always been in the back of mind to do something like this." Mrs File said that seeing the amount of waste that was thrown out after the flood, reinforced the decision to upcycle. "We want to be sustainable – give old things new life and reduce the waste that comes from fast fashion and our disposable modern day mind set." Recycled materials are used in the clothing she has made. Once The Pink Door opens, it will run from 10am to 2pm, Tuesday to Saturday, to fit around her children's education and childcare commitments. However, the workshop sessions would be held in the evenings. "I have had positive interest in the store. I believe all bodies are beautiful and catering from petite to curvaceous allows all women to shop in store and feel their best," Mrs File said. "We recognise we are opening in a challenging time for the town, after the flood and post-lockdown. Lockdown also means our other businesses haven't been able to prosper. It is the risk you take but we get a lot of benefits for our family this way. We believe that everything pans out as it should."

Mike and Samara File are looking forward to opening their new store, The Pink Door, relaxing at home with their children Amity, front, Trelise and baby Gwendolyn.

Holiday art for fun n by Rose O'Connor in Westport

rt classes were held throughout the last school holidays at the Buller REAP Hall in Lyndhurst Street, Westport. Kawatiri Art teacher Nadine Meyer said around 10 children turned up to the six sessions on offer. The '100-year flood' meant Ms Meyer also added two more sessions to the second week to cater for children affected by the flood. She felt art would benefit them greatly. Ms Meyer trained as a primary school teacher in Germany, with a focus in art. She describes herself as a 'part-time' artist and full-time mother. She Ready for a snack are Leyla Gear, left, Ana Keen, Ithaca-Jane Paley-Atkins, Moana Simon-Meyer and Jack de Boer. specialises in a variety of printmaking techniques PICTURES: Rose O'Connor including lino printing.

A completed penguin picture.

Each holiday art session involves a theme. "I find this works very well. One day we studied penguins.' I showed them a slideshow on Antarctica. We painted a background. Then we watched some videos of penguins which the children found hilarious." Ms Meyer provided a healthy morning tea snack and drink at each session. On the penguin-themed day, the children ate 'penguin' decorated cornbread, prepared for them. They then drew penguins using soft pastels and charcoal, cut them out and stuck them to the backgrounds. Ms Meyer has had very positive feedback from the children and their caregivers about the multimedia approach she uses. She now offers holiday programmes most school breaks. More information on her classes can be found on her Facebook page, Kawatiri Art Classes with Nadine Meyer.

The wheels of Parliament must keep on turning

Maureen Pugh National Party MP

espite all the necessary restrictions that Covid brings us all, the wheels of Parliament have kept on turning. And so they should, because despite lockdown, important decisions still need to be made. In these fast-changing and uncertain times it’s even more vital that we do our job of Opposition and hold the Government to account on everything they do and say. The recent initiative of South Island National MPs to write to the Prime Minister is a good example of why Parliament should continue to function no matter

what Covid lockdown we are operating in. We are seeking copies of the expert advice from the PM, on behalf of everyone in the South Island, as to why the whole of the Mainland remains in lockdown level 2. The letter asks what health advice she took to reach the decision to keep us in level 2 and asks for the rationale behind the decision when some businesses are on their knees or have actually closed down due to the effects of the restrictions. As well as many inquiries from people during the Covid lockdown I have spent a lot of time on the connectivity issues that the region has been having. Earlier this year National’s telecommunications spokeswoman Melissa Lee came with me to talk to a public meeting of Dunollie residents caught in a telecommunications blackspot. You will recall that National consistently invested in the rollout of broadband during its years in government. The recent 34-hour outage which rendered Westland completely off the grid, at a time when hospitality and retail sectors are struggling was totally unacceptable. Of course, eftpos was out, but there was no emergency 111 service for almost two days. We are also asking questions and demanding answers on this dangerous situation which must not be allowed to

be repeated. I have written to the chief executive of NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) about the issues that the Hari Hari community had with emergency comms. Nobody was happier than I was when my Private Members' Bill on freedom camping was drawn from the ballot earlier this year. I was seeking to simplify the situation which faces every local authority in New Zealand with a requirement that freedom campers can only stay overnight within 200m of toilet facilities. Sadly, the Government has chosen to vote my bill down. Our thoughts and support continue to be with those people, both rural and urban, who are rebuilding their homes, livelihoods and their lives after the flooding in July. The resilience of these people is truly amazing and it has been a privilege to help those who have reached out to my office for advice and assistance during tough times. I have an exciting opportunity for a young person to become our Youth MP, which is a programme which only comes up every three years. The application process will begin soon and I can assure the successful applicant that they will experience a good slice of the diversity of life at Parliament. My Facebook page has the details.

Aging Boxer Bounces Back

KORU NUTRITION At the end of a long day at work, Lesly likes nothing more than to head to the gym and join a fitness class. For her, while getting your blood pumping is great, the social aspect of the class is the real enjoyment. “The people you meet each week and the friendships you form in a class are so encouraging. You are pushed to work harder and then everyone celebrates the wins. I’ve enjoyed a few classes but the one I really love is boxing. Punching a bag takes your whole body and it just feels so good at the end of a day.” Lesly began to find the classes tougher on her body as she went on. “If only I could find something to give me more support,” she pondered. Sitting down with her family one day, she unpacked her ponderings. “If it’s about your muscles or joints”, her sister responded, “Have you heard about Koru Joint by Koru Nutrition? These tablets have been absolutely fantastic, you will absolutely love them.”

Threatened whio population climbs

he number of breeding pairs of New Zealand's threatened whio (blue duck) has almost tripled over the last 10 years, according to a survey released recently by the Department of Conservation. There are now 863 whio breeding pairs living in eight protected sites across the country – 565 more pairs since 2011 and an increase of 190%. DOC's retired director-general Lou Sanson says the excellent survey results reinforce the decision of DOC and Genesis to renew their Whio Forever partnership. "With ongoing support from Genesis, DOC's goal is to take whio from 'threatened' status to 'at-risk' and grow New Zealand's national whio population from less than 3000 to more than 5000 birds." The majority of the funding from Genesis goes directly towards predator control. Over the last decade, more than 5000 traps have been laid by hundreds of DOC staff and volunteers at key sites across the country. This means almost 1700km of river is now protected, providing secure sites where whio can thrive. Genesis' funding of Whio Forever has also helped foster and inspire contributions from iwi, communities and interest groups to undertake nationwide predator control to protect and grow whio populations. Genesis chief operating officer Nigel Clark says the company is proud to be part of a partnership that is achieving such meaningful results. "It takes a community to raise a whio. The wins we're celebrating today are driven not only by the partnership between DOC and Genesis, but also through the hard work of many individual trapping enthusiasts, privately run trusts and businesses that hold whio breeding pairs, hatch whio eggs and raise their chicks." Lou Sanson says the whio population has continued to climb despite the challenges of a mega-mast (heavy seeding) and severe flooding, along with predator control delays due to bad weather and Covid-19. "Our growing whio population demonstrates the resilience

of the species. But its survival is still very much dependent on our conservation efforts, which demand time, money and hard work. The gains we've made over the last decade could easily be lost in a season, so we can't rest on our laurels. There is still a lot more to do." www.whioforever.co.nz   The whio is a threatened species of native duck that is only found in New Zealand's fast flowing waters. Featured on New Zealand's $10 note and with an estimated nationwide population of less than 3000 birds, whio are rarer than some species of kiwi. Whio in the wild.  Whio are important indicators of ecosystem health – they only exist where there is quality fresh water and an abundance of life.  Whio are predated by stoats, ferrets and cats with the largest impact during nesting time when eggs, young and females are vulnerable, and also when females are in moult and can't fly.  Extensive trapping can manage these predators. Work in key whio habitats by DOC and Genesis on the Whio Forever Project has already seen an increase in whio numbers.  Whio cannot be moved to predator-free islands like other species because of their reliance on fast-flowing rivers.  Pairs occupy approximately 1km of water – so they need a lot of river to sustain a large population. They fiercely defend their territories, which makes it difficult to put them with other ducks in captivity.  Whio are susceptible to flood events, which destroy nests, fragment broods and wash away their valued food source.

Ask a P R O F E S S I O N A L Should I change my ACC cover to ACC Cover Plus Extra? The answer is PROBABLY. Cover Plus Extra is an agreed-value policy that allows you to nominate a level of cover, within certain limits. You then pay a levy based on the nominated cover, rather than paying a levy based on your earnings filed with Inland Revenue. The advantages of this are you do not have to prove loss of earnings following an accident and you will know how much compensation you will receive. If a doctor puts you off work for more than a week ACC will pay you based on the agreed cover.

Cover Plus extra is particularly suitable if: • You have a fluctuating income. • You are newly self employed. • You have a business that will continue to generate profits even if you are injured. • You require a lower level of cover (to purchase replacement labour) than last year’s earnings. (The last 2 situations will lead to a reduction in your ACC costs).

If you are already on Cover Plus Extra it is important you pay ACC’s invoice by the due date. ACC have been quick to cancel any policy that has not been paid on time and it can be a hassle to get your cover re-instated. If any of the above situations apply to you, you should seriously consider a switch to Cover Plus Extra. Please contact us if you require any further information.

Covid-19 Vaccination Roll Out New Zealand’s vaccine roll-out is well under way and employers may need to think about how they approach the vaccine with their employees. Will they encourage all staff to get it? Can they make the vaccine mandatory for all or just some roles? Employees may have questions too. What if they can’t get the vaccine, or just don’t want to? What will happen to their job then? There’s a lot of conflicting information. Here is what we consider employers should do to meet their health and safety requirements under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, bearing in mind their usual employment obligations. First, read the government’s vaccine plan and information at the Unite against Covid-19 and Ministry of Health websites www.covid19.govt.nz/ covid-19-vaccines/ and www.health.govt.nz/. Second, do a health and safety risk assessment, in consultation with employees, to determine their likelihood of being exposed to Covid-19 through their work and the potential consequences of that exposure for them and others. WorkSafe has

guidance about how to do that at https://www. worksafe.govt.nz/ The risk for most workplaces right now will be low in places with little or no community transmission, and the border is largely closed. That can change, however, so employers need to keep on top of this with repeated risk assessments. Where the risk is low, practical steps for employers who want staff to take up the vaccine include: (a) Communicating with employees about the economic and health benefits of getting the vaccine, as well as the potential side effects, and pointing them to reliable sources of information. (b) Supporting employees to get the vaccine by, such as, arranging for paid time off. If they need time off to recover from side effects, normal sick leave obligations would apply but extra paid time off could be offered. (c) Asking employees if they’re willing to disclose if they have had the vaccine or not and explaining how that information will be collected and maintained under the Privacy Act 2020 (if it’s

freely given). (a) Introducing a vaccination policy (in consultation with employees) that sets out why vaccination is required for certain roles and the potential consequences for employees who do not get it. This might include potential redeployment to another lower risk role, working from home or with PPE, or even potential dismissal. This is risky business for employers who may face personal grievances from employees who claim they’ve been disadvantaged, or unjustifiably dismissed and robust consultation would be required. (b) Requiring vaccination as a condition of employment for new hires but bearing in mind there is also a duty not to discriminate on grounds such as disability, age, religion and so on, which might be relevant. None of this is straightforward. If you are facing any of these issues in work, whether as an employer or an employee, we are here to answer any questions and guide you through the evergrowing Covid-19 minefield.

Ask a p r o f e s s i o n a l Looking after our Mental Health Mental health is the way we think and feel and our ability to deal with ups and downs. Everyone has mental health and nearly half of all New Zealanders are likely to experience a mental illness at some point in their lives, with depression and anxiety being the most common. When we enjoy good mental health, we have a sense of purpose and direction, the energy to do the things we want to do, and the ability to deal with the challenges that happen in our lives. When we think about our physical health, there is a place for keeping ourselves fit, and a place for getting appropriate help as early as possible so we can get better. Mental health is just the same. Mental health is relevant at work because we spend so much of our time there; we bring our whole selves to work and sometimes we go through hard times and need extra support. Right now, you or someone in your workplace is likely to be affected. Fear of discrimination and feelings of shame are among the top reasons people give for not

telling their colleagues about their mental health difficulties. When we create workplace cultures where people can be themselves, it is easier for people to speak about mental health concerns without fear, and easier for them to reach out for help when they need it. Even so, the decision to disclose distress at work is not one people take lightly. It is vital that workplaces become environments where people feel safe to be themselves. Opening up a dialogue about mental health in the workplace can result in: • More positive mental health (less depression, stress, burnout) • Better physical health • Reduced absenteeism • Lower staff turnover • Improved work performance, motivation, commitment, and energy • Less tension and conflict, more connectedness, kindness, tolerance, and patience If you notice a team member is struggling with

their mental health, don’t ignore it. But be aware that talking about personal struggles can be difficult and they might get emotional, embarrassed, or upset. Don’t worry if you don’t quite know what to say. Just by being supportive and listening, you’re helping to make a difference. It’s good to remember that no special skills are required to talk about mental health. You just need to be empathetic, approachable, and willing to listen. Acknowledge the person’s feelings. If they get angry or upset, stay calm and don’t take it personally. Be relaxed if the discussion doesn’t go as you had hoped. If the person doesn’t want to speak about it, respect their choice, but leave the door open for further dialogue. The Five Ways to Wellbeing (Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give) are simple and proven actions that workplaces can introduce to help their people find balance, build resilience, and boost mental health and wellbeing. Further information on this can be found on the Mental Health Foundation website www.mentalhealth.org.nz/workplaces

New gear for Westport South netballers

n by Rose O'Connor in Westport

Westport South School netball team has been awarded an ANZ netball grant for new equipment. "The ball bag we had was about 100 years old and the bibs were from the 1950s – they were really tiny. We'd just been given old gear to make do with," said coach of the Self Lobsters team, Jennifer Clementson. "I'm really passionate about netball and our school. I want to see our girls in the local competition look as good as they play," she said. Netball clubs and teams throughout New Zealand can apply for a grant through ANZ to help with training and equipment. The Self Lobsters gear grant included training and match balls, spot markers, bibs and gear bags. "This gear will not only help the team this year, but it will show our girls coming up that netball is respected in our school and people will champion them to be the best they can be," Mrs Clementson said. The Self Lobsters' motto is 'H-E-A-R-T' which stands for honesty, encouragement, attitude, respect, together we can. "We apply that every time we play or try. If the other team isn't playing fairly we'll carry on doing HEART." Last season, the Self Lobsters welcomed its first boy to the team. "I want to see more girls and boys playing netball. When our first ever male player joined last year, there were only skills and fun games due to Covid, but he loved it!"

ANZ head of sponsorship Sue McGregor said: "We're proud to be supporting netball from grassroots teams in Westport right up to the ANZ Premiership and Silver Ferns. It's local teams such as the Westport South School Self Lobsters that introduce

our youngsters to netball and nurture their love for the game into the passion we see in our elite players today. We hope this grant helps keep the passion for netball alive in the community for many seasons to come."

Covid rolls Westport Whitebait Festival THE Westport Whitebait Festival set down for Labour Weekend has been cancelled because of Covid uncertainties. "Every year we look forward to enjoying the coming together of the community and visitors as we celebrate the Westport Whitebait Festival. However, given the uncertainty around Covid19, the lockdown levels and the numbers safely permitted to events, we've made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 festival," festival director Veronica de Friez says. With sponsors in place, the Warratahs confirmed to play at the NBS Theatre, local entertainers and many stallholders already booked, along with Amuri Jets coming for the weekend, the festival was looking to be an amazing event. Chairman Graham Howard-Mills says: "The planning for the festival was well in place, but there were two overriding concerns that caused us to make this decision. Firstly, the safety of the participants and festival-goers, and secondly the ongoing uncertainty for everyone with less than 30 days to Labour Weekend." "The steering group do want to do a special shout out to those local sponsors and organisations who committed their support to this year's festival. We're so grateful for everyone's support and know this announcement will come as an enormous disappointment, especially during the flood recovery process. "This was not an easy decision to make," Veronica de Friez says. "We waited in vain hope that there would be a road map released indicating intentions around crowd numbers come October and onwards. But sadly, because of the brutal and random nature of the virus, this wasn't to be. "However, in cancelling this year's festival we remain committed to the festival happening next year. The intention is roll over the bookings and the plans to Labour Weekend 2022. Already the key festival attractions have been booked for Saturday, October 22, 2022."

New weapon in fight against More old The Press invasive aquatic weeds papers go on-line

Niwa freshwater scientist Dr Daniel Clements trials a submerged invasive weed detector that uses artificial intelligence in a test flume in Hamilton.

The front page of The Press, 1960.

combination of artificial intelligence and scientific ingenuity looks set to be the next step forward in protecting New Zealand's lakes and rivers from invasive aquatic weeds. Management and detection of invasive submerged weeds costs millions of dollars annually, but Niwa researchers have developed a way to detect and identify submerged weeds. This technology will enable agencies to survey far larger areas more efficiently than is currently possible, and potentially lead much faster responses to new incursions. Invasive submerged weeds can degrade water quality, exacerbate silt and flooding, reduce the number of native animals and plants and play havoc with irrigation water delivery and hydroelectric power schemes. Niwa has developed a portable invasive species detector module that can be strapped to survey boats. The prototype is housed in a small waterproof case with an underwater video camera attached. Inside is a computer containing an artificial intelligence-based detector that has been trained to identify targeted invasive weed species and log their locations in real time. Principal technician Jeremy Bulleid has implemented a deep learning neural network – an artificial intelligence function – to train a computer model to recognise two of New Zealand's worst invasive weeds – lagarosiphon and hornwort – and record their GPS locations. These data can then be exported to a mapping programme to enable control or eradication strategies to be implemented. "The deep learning process enables us to replace the human eyes and brain with a video camera and a computer by running a detection application that has been taught what to look for," Mr Bulleid says. Training a detector requires significant computing power and, depending on the complexity of the search

HISTORY hounds and family history researchers rejoice – more than a decade of The Press newspapers have gone on-line. The Papers Past website now has editions up to 1961. The stories include West Coast centennial celebrations, the Greymouth Opera House fire, Westport uranium finds, Reefton flood of 1955, Hokitika bush fires, and the Ruatapu mill fire. Further south is has the Franz Josef Hotel fire, and the Haast phone link

going in. The latest additions are part of a project to add The Press archives up to 1995, under a landmark agreement with the National Library. Until last week, the library's Papers Past website already published editions of The Press from 1861 to 1945 which can be searched by words, phrases and dates. The project to take it top the mid1990s should be completed by the end of 2023.

environment and 'target species', may take days or even weeks. However, once training is completed, the trained detector is efficient and can be embedded into the computer located inside the detector module for real time detection. Niwa has successfully processed video imagery captured from an autonomous boat in a flume facility in Hamilton planted out with three different submerged plant species. The research is still in its early days and requires further fieldwork, data collection and software development to evaluate its true potential. However, Niwa freshwater ecologist Dr Daniel Clements says early detection and prevention is critical for achieving effective freshwater biosecurity outcomes. "If you can detect high risk invasive species early, before they are widespread, and implement

effective management strategies, you minimise the long-term economic, environmental, social, recreational, and cultural impacts caused by these species. "The development of these detector modules will enable a rapid and cost-effective detection and mapping that can be used over large areas." Currently most invasive species surveillance work is carried out by specialist divers. Dr Clements says the new technology has the potential to shift diver expertise from detection effort to implementing control strategies. "Real gains could be made by operating the modules from fully autonomous surface vessels that can be programmed and deployed without constant supervision. "Eradicating a freshwater invasive weed by detecting it early is much more feasible and cost-effective than dealing with a widespread incursion in the long term."

NEW Zealanders are invited to participate in on-line activities to honour those who served in New Zealand's post-Second World War military operations in Malaya and Malaysia. The usual annual ceremony at the National War Memorial was unable to proceed last week due to current Covid-19 alert levels. "This annual commemoration pays tribute to the contribution New Zealand made to Commonwealth forces for nearly 20 years, from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s," Brodie Stubbs, manager Ministry for Culture and Heritage said. Between 1949 and 1966 New Zealand soldiers, sailors and airmen played a small but significant role in two Southeast Asian conflicts: the Malayan Emergency (1948-60) and the subsequent 'Confrontation Campaign' between Indonesia and Malaysia (1964-66). Approximately 4000 New Zealand servicemen served during these campaigns. Sadly, 20 servicemen are recorded on New Zealand's Roll of Honour as having lost their lives during operational service, three as a result of enemy action. New Zealand's involvement began in 1949 when a flight of RNZAF 41 Squadron Dakotas were used to drop supplies to anti-guerrilla forces.

In the late 1950s, both Special Air Service and infantry battalions were sent to Malaya. In 1964, New Zealand began helping the newly federated state of Malaysia to resist Indonesia's attempt to gain control of the North Borneo territories, in what was known as the Confrontation Campaign. On August 11, 1966 Indonesian and Malaysian representatives signed a peace treaty in Bangkok with New Zealanders completing their withdrawal from Borneo in October. "In response to the current Covid-19 pandemic, this year's public ceremony has been cancelled. We appreciate that the cancellation will be disappointing, especially for veterans and their whānau. We look forward to honouring them in person at future commemorations," Mr Stubbs said. "On-line resources will be available on the Pukeahu National War Memorial website and Facebook page this week for people wishing to mark the occasion in their homes, and for those who would like to learn more." Further information about New Zealand's contribution is available at: New Zealand and the Malayan Emergency, NZ History; New Zealand and the Confrontation in Borneo, NZ History

The birds are back in town!

he dates are set for New Zealand's most 'eggcellent' annual bird battle, and New Zealanders everywhere are getting ready to campaign. Voting in Forest and Bird's Bird of the Year will crack open at 9am on Monday, October 18. Voting will close two weeks later on October 31, with the winner announced on November 1. "This year's competition could really cause a flap," says Forest and Bird's Bird of the Year spokeswoman Laura Keown. "There are more birds than ever in the running, and heaps more to learn about our incredible native species." This year the Bird of the Year website will feature NZ Sign Language translations for many of the native species, alongside both their te reo Māori and English names, bird call, and conservation status. "This is the 16th annual Bird of the Year and we're expecting it will ruffle some feathers. We've got some surprises in store, and our high-flying volunteer campaign managers are ready for their bird campaigns to take-off!" Kākāpō was the winner in 2020, with toroa/ Antipodean albatross swooping into second, and the comeback-king kakaruia/black robin coming in third. There were more than 55,000 confirmed votes last year, making it the biggest Bird of the Year ever. New Zealanders can once again vote for up to five native species in order of preference. "Te Manu Rongonui o te Tau is Forest and Bird's lighthearted competition to help everyone learn about our incredible native species, but it has a serious side too," says Laura. "Climate change and habitat loss are huge threats to Aotearoa, and about 80% of our birds are threatened or at risk of extinction. We really need to put nature at the heart of New Zealand's climate plan, and make sure our amazing native species are here for future generations. "The good news is, when we care for our native species, we also care for each other! When our rivers, forests, and oceans are healthy, our climate, wildlife, and communities are better off too," says Laura. "Our annual bird contest is a good chance for everyone to get to know New Zealand's native animals, and get inspired to bring them back!"

Vector Control Services wishes to advise the public of its intention to aerially apply the toxin Sodium Fluoroacetate (1080) for the purpose of controlling possums in the Oneone and Ianthe areas. The operation is being undertaken on behalf of OSPRI New Zealand to protect local farms from tuberculosis infection. Control Area The Oneone treatment area is located between the Poerua River and the Wanganui River. It lies between State Highway 6 and the coast. The nearest township to the operational area is Harihari approximately 3km to the east. The Ianthe treatment area is located between the Wanganui and Waitaha River. It lies between State Highway 6 and the coast. The nearest township to the operational area is Harihari approx 9km to the east. A detailed map of the treatment areas may be viewed by appointment at the office of Vector Control Services, 388 Main South Road, Paroa, Greymouth. Maps can also be viewed on the West Coast Regional Council website under Biosecurity. Commencement Date The operation will commence with the application of non-toxic cereal prefeed pellets beginning on a day of favourable weather after September 29, 2021. Following completion of pre-feeding, the application of cereal pellets containing 1080 will commence. There will be a minimum of five days between the pre-feed and toxic operations. Bait Description Pre-feed: Cereal-based pellet, approximately 16mm long, undyed brown. Toxic bait: Cereal-based pellet, approximately 20mm long, dyed green with a toxic loading of 1.5g/kg of sodium fluoroacetate (1080). Precautions 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 operational area. Dogs should be kept under strict control at all times and not have access to or be taken into the operational area as they are particularly susceptible to 1080 and poisoned carcasses. Poison warning signs will be erected at all points of public access and the public are reminded that it is an offence to remove any of these signs. Please follow instruction on the signs.
