FACES OF THE CRISIS: The reality of Tairawhiti’s housing crisis is felt every day by sisters Huriana (left) and Miriangi Maliukaetau and mum Lydia Edwards who live in this caravan, along with Lydia’s granddaughter. Lydia and her whanau found themselves homeless after the private rental they had been in for three years was sold. Every week Lydia applies for rentals and Work and Income has classed her need as high priority. There are still no homes available for her and her whanau. It has been almost two months of cramped caravan living. Something has to be done, says Lydia. STORY ON PAGE 3 Picture by Liam Clayton

The council has engaged tree specialists to try to PARK TREES save a series of trees recently vandalised. “The worst case is four memorial oak trees at Kaiti Memorial Park, all of which were tampered with,” said council liveable spaces manager De-Arne VANDALISED Sutherland. “It is yet to be confirmed if they were poisoned, but there has been no fresh growth in the trees this year. “It’s upsetting to see previously healthy, mature trees vandalised,” she said. “They are an asset to our community, providing shade, a canopy shelter and amenity value.” Ms Sutherland said remedial works to save the trees came at a significant cost to the ratepayer. “If that work is not effective it will ultimately cost the council, and the ratepayers, to remove the trees.” Tree specialists flushed the trees with water as part of the remedial works. “There have been other instances of tree vandalism lately at Elsdon Best Reserve and Heath Johnstone Park, where the trunk of a tree was significantly hacked into with an axe.” About a year ago the council had a tree risk assessment carried out by an arborist after Norfolk pine trees at Wainui were poisoned. The assessment confirmed the trees were in significant decline and needed to be felled for safety reasons. Testing confirmed the trees had experienced poisoning from glyphosate. The information was passed on to police. “These latest cases are intentional criminal damage and all instances have again been reported to police.” Ms Sutherland urged people to report any SUSPECTED POISONING: Specialist aborists have been working to treat four memorial oak trees in Kaiti Memorial Park suspicious activity seen regarding trees. between Rutene Road and Wainui Road that may have been poisoned, though that has yet to be confirmed.

Gun emplacements reopened CHRISTCHURCH — Three World War 2-era gun emplacements have been officially opened to the public at Godley Head near Christchurch. The concrete bunkers and network of tunnels were badly damaged in the 2011 earthquakes and had only now been repaired and given a fresh lick of paint. At the height of the war, the guns at the entry to Lyttelton Harbour were home to 2000 army personnel. They were the main defence from an anticipated Japanese invasion. The guns continued to be used for training right up until the late ‘50s when they were finally reduced to scrap metal and exported to Japan. Street artist Wongi Wilson had added murals of ex-personnel to the walls to tell some of that history and to dissuade taggers. — RNZ Councillor asked to resign INVERCARGILL — The Southland Fish & Game councillor who made “patronising, sexist remarks” at a public meeting has been ordered by his colleagues to resign.

She was keen to take on a role in the comedy. As it happened, the number of contenders for a role in the play based on the true story of a group of middle-aged Yorkshire women who produced a nude calendar to raise money for a charity was almost overwhelming. McPhail was not fazed though.

GOLD THREADS AMONG THE SILVER: Unsung singing group the Hospice Tairawhiti Songsters can’t be found on Spotify, but they are familiar faces and voices in Gisborne’s rest homes. This week, a handful of the group’s members entertained Te Wiremu House residents over pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. “The choir formed when palliative care volunteers got together in 1992 to perform for Telethon,” said group leader Betty Stephens. Known then as the Palliative Care Singers, the group is now known as the Hospice Tairawhiti Songsters. “We perform twice a week at rest homes around Gisborne. I put together a book three years ago of about 350 songs. Songs range from World War 1 tunes to ABBA and Boney M,” said Mrs Stephens. “They’re all in our comfort zone but we do have people who do harmonies.” Picture by Liam Clayton
