It seems ages since I wrote a Coordinators Word for you all. This month we will be doing a May/June newsletter. If we can get a printed version we will, otherwise it will be an electronic version. One way or another you will be able to read it. Our Branch committee had a Zoom meeting last week to see how we will move forward again after all the different levels of lockdown. Our Zoom coffee chat organized by Carol Spaulding on Saturday 9th May was a little bit disappointing membership wise. Only five of us hooked up. You are not going to catch Covid 19 off a Zoom chat. This is only the second time I have been on Zoom, & it’s very good & exceptionally easy to use. Next time you get a link to join up just double click on that link at the appropriate time & follow the instructions & you should be able to join in. We are starting to talk about our Rides etc starting up under Level 2. Thursday & Sunday rides will get going again at the end of May but our monthly Club nights might have to wait a little bit longer. Saturday Coffee mornings will start up at The Runway Café at the end of May (hopefully at this stage) For those of you who don’t know where this Café is it’s by the Argosy on SH6 @ Woodbourne. It has just reopened with new own- ers & they are looking forward to us attending that day. Currently for any members who don’t know The Vines Village Café is closed & for sale. We could return there if a new owner is found & it reopens in the future. Our Ambulance Day ride was cancelled this year due to Covid 19 lockdown and we were to raise funds for the Picton St John. Our committee decided to donate $1000.00 to them from some of the money our National Rally raffles raised back in March & we have transferred that money into their acct. Our Back 2 Basics Rally is back on stream, February 26th-28th 2021 out at the same venue as before. Paul & Muff Newton’s Kaituna Ridges Farm, Readers Road Havelock. The registration form is in this magazine, on our website or in the Ulyssian. It’s always a lot of fun. We had some great local support for our National Rally raffle prizes. I hope you all saw our Thank You advert in the Blenheim Sun on Wed 6 May. I encourage you to support these businesses in return, - some of them will be struggling to get back on their feet after the lockdown. Remember to mention ‘Ulysses’ when you’re dealing with them. As I said last month keep safe everyone, wash your hands regularly & if you are in the over 70’s group, be more careful. You do get preferential treatment at some Supermarkets. “I know”. “Till Next Month, Ride Safe & Keep Yourselves Safe”. Kelvin #3602. P.S. Jane would like to hear from you about your antics during & after Lockdown so she can share them in the news- letter. Photos to go with it would be great too. Email or phone your thoughts to her before 20 June.—Editor. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!….

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

  • Recent Studies of Historical Earthquake-Induced Landsliding, Ground Damage, and Mm Intensity
    59 RECENT STUDIES OF HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED LANDSLIDING, GROUND DAMAGE, AND MM INTENSITY IN NEW ZEALAND G. T. Hancox 1, N. D. Perrin 1 and G.D. Dellow 1 ABSTRACT A study of landsliding caused by 22 historical earthquakes in New Zealand was completed at the end of 1997. The main aims of that study were to: (a) study the nature and extent of landsliding and other ground damage (sand boils, subsidence and lateral spreading due to soil liquefaction) caused by historical earthquakes; (b) determine relationships between landslide distribution and earthquake magnitude, epicentre, isoseismals, faulting, geology and topography; and (c) establish improved environmental response criteria and ground classes for assigning MM intensities and seismic hazard assessments in New Zealand. Relationships developed from the study indicate that the minimum magnitude for earthquake-induced landsliding (EIL) in N.Z. is about M 5, with significant landsliding occurring at M 6 or greater. The minimum MM intensity for landsliding is MM6, while the most common intensities for significant landsliding are MM7-8. The intensity threshold for soil liquefaction in New Zealand was found to be MM7 for sand boils, and MMS for lateral spreading, although such effects may also occur at one intensity level lower in highly susceptible materials. The minimum magnitude for liquefaction phenomena in N.Z. is about M 6, compared to M 5 overseas where highly susceptible soils are probably more widespread. Revised environmental response criteria (landsliding, subsidence, liquefaction-induced sand boils and lateral spreading) have also been established for the New Zealand MM Intensity Scale, and provisional landslide susceptibility Ground Classes developed for assigning MM intensities in areas where there are few buildings.

  • Endless Connections 22.08.12
    Endless Connections: New Zealand secular intentional rural communities founded in the 1970s A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University by Robert Jenkin 22/08/2012 1 We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. Arthur O'Shaughnessy, 1874 2 Acknowledgements First I thank my supervisor, Dr Kerry Taylor, who encouraged me to begin this thesis and has helped me complete it, a longer process than either of us originally expected. Throughout he has encouraged and given sound advice. I am also grateful to Dr Geoff Watson, my Post Graduate Co-ordinator for his advice and support. My partner Anne, a committed member of Rainbow Valley Community for more than thirty years, helped in many ways, and came with me on some parts of my research journey, acting as a photographer at interviews. I also thank my father Ian, whose love of people and their stories distinctively shaped the way I see the world. I have been greatly helped by Olive Jones, who last year finished a PhD thesis on New Zealand communities. We shared ideas over a twelve-month period, during which time she generously let me have copies of hard-to-find but highly relevant material. Lyman Sargent in his turn supplied me with a recently updated digital version of New Zealand Intentional Communities: A Research Guide, 1 and Lucy Sargisson provided me with some of her related articles.
