Guilty as charged I must admit to the crime of being a bit negative of late. I know why I have this this less-than-ideal mindset. I have a family to support, a couple of dozen employees across multiple Wakatipu based businesses. One of which was brand new in the year of Covid 2020. All these businesses are struggling. No surprises there. But nothing changes the fact, a negative attitude is not going to turn a global pandemic around. So, let me fl ip it around and look on the bright side of life. A normal working week for me is 7 days, 8am to whenever it ends. Being self-employed is like the endless split shift. From one thing to the next, break, the next thing, to the next, break, home, dinner with wife and kids, bath, bed (for the kids) then to the home offi ce to tidy that day away. Re- peat the hamster wheel tomorrow. The bright side is, I now work 6 days a week. Sometimes only 5. Sometimes only 8 hours a day. No point banging my head against a wall when the usual complications of a busy business have gone along with half our trade. Karen MacPherson, Tim Tayler, Brendon Mulcahy & Hayley Edwards So on Saturday I went and played golf for the 3rd time since Covid hit, enjoying the King Beats Charity Music Festival in Kingston on Saturday with a couple of mates on a stunning Central Otago day. I even won the beers (they must be really bad at golf) and then had a sleepy afternoon in the hammock reminiscing about that birdy on the 14th. One of my playing partners is an English born Kiwi. His Mum back in the UK just got the vaccine injection. But his grandma died. She was 95. A good innings and it took this virus to tip her over. That’s the tragic reality outside of these islands. I could complain that our Government seem to think a roll out of 12,000 vaccines to essential workers is a big achievement. Our leader thinks small. That is ok, baby steps. Good on her. It is only hospitality and tourism going bust. That is ok, no rush. The rest of NZ is doing just fi ne. And the government is of course charged with looking after the majority fi rst. Fair play. It is my problem I am in hospitality, not hers. But we will survive. Stay positive. Do our bit for the team of 5 million. Be kind and take the fi nancial hit. Keep playing golf, work less, enjoy life and buy a NZSki seasons pass. Life is good here. Playing golf on late summer days and thinking about skiing on the best little ski fi eld in the southern hemisphere, just 15 minutes from my house. Coronet Peak. Bring on winter.

Charity Hurling: Queenstown Band Of Brothers raising funds for Wakatipu St John Ambulance Every year since its inception the annual Charity Hurling match keeps getting bigger and bigger. Held each year, the Queenstown team (Band of Brothers) hosts the match with teams from Christchurch and Wellington travelling down to what can only be described as the biggest game of the year held here in Queenstown!! Hurling is an outdoor team game of ancient Irish origin, and generally played by men. It shares a number of features with Gaelic football, such as the field and goals and the number of players, and much terminology. The objective of the game is for players to use a wooden (ash) stick called a hurley to hit a small ball called a sliotar between the opponents’ goalposts either over the crossbar for one point, or under the crossbar into a net guarded by a goalkeeper for three points. No protective padding is worn by players and played on grass it’s a very fast paced hard hitting skill-full game. Three years ago Christchurch came down and beat Queenstown in the first ever game but 2019 was a different story were the Queenstown boys took the victory. Last year the match was cancelled due to Covid19 so this year Christchurch will be coming with vengeance but Queenstown’s Band of Brothers is waiting!!! To make things a little spicier there is a new trophy called the Lindis Pass up for grabs!! All the money raised will go to St Johns With an expected massive crowd there is the Irish national anthem played by a Irish band and hopefully the Hakka preformed by the teams. The team at St. John’s do a fantastic job year in and year out and it’s why these boys take the field to show there support towards these important charities every year. When: 27th February Where: Queenstown Recreation Grounds.

Funding News Are you a community group or a not-for-proﬁt looking for funding? Representatives from Central Lakes Trust, DIA, and Southern Trust, with Community Trust South and QLDC have launched a series of funding clinics. “Each clinic involves connecting people and organisations. It is about sharing knowledge and networks, providing advice where they can, and generally making it easy for people to ask for help.” Mat Begg of Central Lakes Trust says each agency has different funding priorities. “Coming along means you can ﬁnd out what each agency funds. What one agency may not fund, another could…, these clinics can bring groups together to collaborate and share ideas on how to meet that need”. The Queenstown clinics are on Tuesday the 16th March and 24th August between 1pm and 3pm in The Function Room, Queenstown Events Centre. To register your interest email [email protected]. What’s On

The inorganic pigment is made by heating the oxides of yttrium, indium and manganese to about 1,200 °C. It’s said to be more “Our festival sponsor, Akarua, have kindly given us wine barrels durable than other blue pigments like ultramarine because it retains to give to artists who wish to partake,” explains festival organiser its colour in oil and water and it’s better for mixing with other colours. Carole Watts. YInMn Blue strongly reﬂects infrared radiation, which means it could be used for energy-saving, cool coatings. “The artists can create whatever they want on the barrel.

This means it’s in to community charities. high demand and selling for prices that could leave you YInMn Blue in the face. “The artists are really excited and I can’t wait to see what they create.”

There’s eight local artists involved so far, including Jenny Mehrtens, Charlotte Graf, Trey Ratcliff and Jane Litten.

Artist Jane Litten wouldn’t reveal her plans for her wine barrel (“it’s a surprise”) but says the idea is a “quirky” one.

“I like quirky ideas and this is one that allows me to repurpose a second hand barrel made of beautiful oak into an unexpected household object that remains humorously attached to the initial use and object.”

Unsurprisingly, this will be the ﬁrst time she’s done wine barrel art.

“I’ve never done anything like a barrel before. I’ve done pointe ballet shoes into swans and a concrete gnome into a snow globe for Luma (he became a Magritte-themed gnome) a couple of years ago. I love the opportunity to give back to my community in a creative way and enjoy the opportunity to explore alternative creative methods away from my normal (painting/ two-dimensional) artistic practice.” What’s On You can see (and bid on) Jane Litten’s and other artists’ wine barrel art during the Akarua Arrowtown Autumn Festival, 22nd – 26th April.

NEWS FROM The greatest little market around By Marion Low, Cromwell & Districts Promotion Group Every Sunday morning during summer the pebbled lanes of the Cromwell Heritage Precinct come alive with activity as stallholders prepare to welcome visitors to the Cromwell Farmers and Crafts Market. Nestled between the historical buildings, this market may be wee, but it packs a punch. Fresh fare Many Cromwellians use the market as the spot for their weekly shop, and it is not hard to see why. Here you will fi nd farm-to- table produce, delicious breads and pastries, cheeses, wines, and delicacies to tickle the taste-buds. And as it is summer, you will also fi nd tables groaning under the beautiful stone fruit and cherries this region is known for. Crafts galore

With a wide selection ranging Rex & Tess Edgar [email protected] from hand-made jewellery to fragrant soaps, locally produced linen, and even pet accessories, you are sure to ﬁ nd that special gift or something new for the home you’ve been looking for. Truly local Dropping in at the market on a Sunday is not only about shopping – it’s a social affair. After ﬁ lling their baskets, locals often stick around to enjoy a refreshment, have a gab with familiar faces, and to enjoy the live entertainment. If you are looking for an authentic experience (and have an awesome shopping experience to boot!) make sure to swing by the Cromwell Heritage Precinct on Melmore Terrace this Sunday.

Late summer planting Words Ben Elms

As crops complete and space becomes free, it’s an opportunity to grow more goodness. We’re rolling the dice with what weather autumn gives us, but with hoops and frost cloth we can ﬁ ght back and extend this growing time. Start by chucking a wee bit of compost over the bed. If you’re planting heavy feeders like broccoli and cabbage, mix two generous handfuls of compost in the hole before planting. Leave old veggie roots in the bed to rot down; this adds carbon, food for microbes and air pathways (but you will have to remove it completely if the plant was diseased).

So, what can we sneak in?

These goodies, with a few in the pumpkin patch, or even in a ﬂ ower handfuls of compost added on the side bed. Lettuces are also great for popping once a month, can keep going all winter in these unused spaces. long.

Keep popping in plants or seeds wherever you have space each week to make the most of any good weather and you’ll (hopefully) keep the bounty running long into the winter. Happy Gardening.
