Offer on film parkFilm action: Wainui’s Kelly Park Film Village may have a new owner by the end of the year. Inset: Kelly Park studio in motion.

By CARALISE MOORE

DEALS securing The Hobbitin New Zealand should helpKelly Park Film Village closea sale and secure its future.

The 332-hectare Wainuisite has been marketedthroughout the country forseveral months.

Kelly Park has nowreceived a conditional offerfrom a buyer the RodneyTimes believes to be an Asianor subcontinent-based com-pany. The company can’t benamed for confidentialityreasons and has made anoffer which has to go throughthe Overseas InvestmentOffice.

The park must prove theinternational investors arethe best option for thecountry and economy.

‘‘Usually it will takearound 60 days for the officeto consider the application,’’Kelly Park developer SteveBarker says.

‘‘Then we can get the inter-national business’s per-mission and go public withdetails.’’

Kelly Park first has toprove there is insufficientinterest in New Zealandbefore considering inter-national offers.

The site already has aspecial filming zone passedby the Rodney District Coun-

cil in 2009. This allows for thedevelopment of 11.7 hectaresfor film and television pro-duction, along with associ-ated support services, edu-cational, tourism andaccommodation facilities.

Three large buildings onthe former equestrian centresite are used for film pro-duction – a 4750 squaremetre clear span studio, a2100 square metre buildingfor film work and a block con-taining offices andworkshops.

It also has 38 consentedtitles ranging from one hec-tare to 64 hectares in a newsubdivision with roads, fenc-ing and building sites.

Kelly Park has contributedmore than $20 million to thedistrict’s economy during thelast four years.

It was the set for the pro-duction of several Hollywoodblockbusters, including TheChronicles of Narnia – TheLion, The Witch and TheWardrobe, 30 Days of Night,and local productions such asThe Ferryman.

Kelly Park has been occu-pied by the Barker family for37 years.

‘‘We’ve spent eight yearsgetting to where we are now,’’Mr Barker says.

‘‘This is the end of a hugefamily project. We’ve donehuge things like bring $20m

to Rodney from the film pro-duction industry. We areproud of that.

‘‘To grow from here thepark needs $300m to $400minvestment, and that is farbeyond us as a family,’’ hesays.

‘‘But we do want somethingto happen like this in Rodneythat will give employment forour children and grand-children.’’

The government’s recentannouncements on tax breaksand labour laws for filmworkers will have a signifi-cant impact on the industry,Mr Barker says.

‘‘That’s going to be huge forthe country.

‘‘It will affect Kelly Park asmore film investors will beinterested in coming to NewZealand as a result of thechanges.

‘‘The deal we have madewith The Hobbit will put NewZealand tourism on everysingle Hobbit DVD sold,’’ hesays.

‘‘The government spent$35m on the last America’sCup and what benefit didthat bring?

‘‘This is an instant and dir-ect benefit with the sameamount spent,’’ Mr Barkersays. ‘‘Prime Minister JohnKey is a businessman andwhat he has done is verysmart.’’

Orcas hunt stingrays

Holiday fun: Boaties in Kawau Bay got a special treat withNobby the orca surfacing close by.

Photo: WWW.ORCARESEARCH.ORG

By DELWYN DICKEY

About seven orcas werespotted seeking a sting-ray lunch in Kawau Bayon Labour Day.

Their visit delightedboaties and beachgoers.

Spotted off Tawhara-nui, Snells Beach, AlgiesBay, and Kawau Islandat times during the day,the two groups were alsobeing watched by orcaresearcher Ingrid Visser.

The Whangarei-basedscientist knows many ofthe 200 or so orca livingaround New Zealand bysight and has names forsome.

A female and her calfalong with four maleswere in one group, withDr Visser recognisingtwo of the males as Benand Nobby.

‘‘These two were hunt-ing stingrays andsharing their catch just afew hundred metres offthe beach,’’ Dr Vissersays.

‘‘We saw Nobby andBen take at least 10 raysover the course of a fewhours – they took alleagle, long-tailed andshort-tailed rays in thegeneral area of Kawau,Snells and Algies.’’

Another group of fourwere further out to seaand included a young

male Putita, which DrVisser helped rescue atRuakaka in July after hewas stranded, his olderbrother Rua and theirmother Yin with a youngorca.

All the orca Dr Visserrecognised had beenstranded at least once atsome stage, which shesays reflects the type offood they eat.

‘‘They hunt in a veryhigh-risk manner –chasing rays in shallowwaters – which results inthem occasionally get-ting stuck,’’ she says.

Orca – sometimescalled killer whales – arerecognisable by the dor-sal fin shape and nicks.

This summer Dr

Visser encourages orcaspotters to contact her on0800 SEE ORCA – 0800-733-6722 – and to viewphotos on her websitewww.orcaresearch.org/identify orca.

As marine mammals,orca, other dolphins andwhales come under Con-servation Departmentjurisdiction.

DOC should be contac-ted on 0800-DOC-HOTline, 0800-362-468,when sighted, particu-larly if the animal is dis-tressed or tangled.

People should stay 50metres away and boatsshould travel no fasterthan idle or avoid wakespeed within 300 metresof any marine mammal.

No justiceBe wary of people offeringrefunds on fines over thephone.A person or persons posingas Ministry of Justice staff areringing people saying they arecalling on behalf of a bank orthat they are from a branch ofthe Ministry of Justice. It isunclear where the fake callershave obtained people’sdetails, which are misleadingpeople into disclosing furtherpersonal and financialinformation.

Couple warns of scam➤ HOW TO MAKE COMPLAINTS❚ Complaints about phishing email scams trying to getpeople’s credit card details or personal information can belodged with the Internal Affairs Department http://complaints.antispam.govt.nz/❚ The NZTransport Agency urges anyone who inadvertentlyprovided their driver licence details on the counterfeitwebsite to phone its contact centre on 0800-822-422 andhave their licence cancelled. It offers to waive thereplacement fee.

Visit www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg—URL/Services-Anti-Spam-Reported-Scams?OpenDocument formore information.

A DRIVER licence scamcaught Neil and DianeMcKay of Orewa.

They became suspiciousafter providing their detailsand are now renewing a cre-dit card and driver licence asa result. It’s a lesson forothers, they say.

‘‘We want to warn peopleabout this,’’ Mr McKay says.

They received an emailasking them to providelicence details to a websiteand pay a $2 fee. He paid bycredit card but then found theamount taken out was $5.They cancelled the credit cardbut later found a further $730taken out. Mr McKay hadjust renewed his licence and

contacted the NZ TransportAgency about his suspicions.Now after reading our Octo-ber 28 P3 story about thewebsite the agency says is

counterfeit is getting a newdriver’s licence.

The agency is waiving thefee for the licence replace-ment and Mr McKay says his

bank is also reversing the $5credit card payment andhopes to get the $730 backtoo.

‘‘All the agencies have beenfantastic with their help,’’ hesays.

The McKays say they feel alittle foolish falling for thescam but Mr McKay says thewebsite is very plausible andprofessional looking.

He believes many othersmay have been duped intoresponding as well.

The couple consider them-selves fortunate to escape thescam unscathed but say it’sinconvenient having to renewthe licence and card.

More than 500 calls were

received in relation to thescam by Friday morning, thetransport agency says.

It has provided 150replacement licences so far.■ The McKays were alsoasked to confirm an eBaypayment of US$47.85,purported to have been donethrough PayPal, and to clickon a link if they disputed thecharge.

Again they would have hadto provide credit card orbanking details to claim anyrefund.

They don’t use eBay butnote the email address –[email protected] –is the same one used for thedriver licence phishing email.

Scammer gets earful

Send them packing: Warkworth woman Colleen Carter was having none of it when phishingscammers rang her.

By DELWYN DICKEY

Several phone calls, includ-ing three on one day, saw afeisty Warkworth woman‘‘losing her rag’’ at scammersasking her to run a pro-gramme on her computer toremove unwanted emails orbugs.

When the first call camein a suspicious Ms Cartersimply refused. Then afterchecking with her son – acomputer consultant whoconfirmed it wasn’t a goodidea – she was even moreadamant. After asking forthe phone number of theperson calling she was givena number which didn’t makesense. But when the thirdcall of the day came right inthe middle of a televisionnews item about the same

scam she says she had hadenough and ripped into theforeign sounding man on theother end of the phone, tell-ing him he should beashamed of himself.

The new scam is hittingboth New Zealand and Aust-ralian owners of Windowsoperated PCs. Callers askPC owners to start WindowsRun and to go into theWindows Event Viewer sys-tem which can bring up‘‘error’’ icons on screen.These are often trivialmessages to do with theoperating system but canconvince the owner theircomputer needs ‘‘fixing.’’

One version has it that theunwary is charged hundredsof dollars by credit card for aprogramme which is thenrun through the computer.

Scientist challenges global warming

Doug Edmeades

By LES WATKINS

A prominent scientistwho claims ClimateChange Minister NickSmith is creatingunnecessary fears aboutglobal warming will chal-lenge his views nextTuesday at a meeting.

New Zealand ClimateScience Coalition agri-culture spokesman DougEdmeades will speak atan Orewa Rotary Club

dinner on November 9.Dr Edmeades will

explain his anxietiesabout ‘‘a dark shroudedhand’’ which he says isthreatening scientifictruths and confusingKiwis.

‘‘Dr Smith is mislead-ing the public in anattempt to convincethem that the recentlyintroduced EmissionsTrading Scheme is goodfor them,’’ he says.

Dr Edmeades de-nounces informationgiven by Dr Smith in apromotional pamphletand a series of talks.

One of the key pointshe contests is the officialline that global tempera-tures are being driven upby increasing carbondioxide.

‘‘That is grossly mis-leading for a number ofvery important reasons.

‘‘For instance, clear

evidence from ice-corestudies shows thatchanges in carbon diox-ide concentrations followchanges in temperatureby about 600 to 800years.

‘‘Carbon dioxide doesnot drive temperature.

‘‘It is the other wayaround.

‘‘The Earth has beenthrough many periods ofwarming and coolinglong before humans

arrived, before agricul-ture was intensified andbefore fossil fuels weredeveloped.

‘‘Global temperaturessince the last glaciation,about 10,000 years ago,have sometimes beenhigher than at present,’’Dr Edmeades says.

‘‘Even the Intergovern-mental Panel on ClimateChange accepts that thewarming which occurredfrom the end of the Little

Ice Age – about the mid1850s – to about 1940was not caused by carbondioxide.

‘‘The sun could be thecause.’’

Farmers’ outcry leads tosmaller district plan area

West Coast policy area: Ashadow of the originalproposal sees rezoning forenvironmental protectionin the west.

By DELWYN DICKEY

A farmers’ outcry inMarch has led to theRodney District Councilchanging its West CoastDistrict Plan priorities.

Farmers were out-raged about a proposedzoning change thatwould seek greater pro-tection for westernrural areas and out-

standing coastal land-scapes.

The council originallyproposed new rules for aWest Coast Policy Areacovering the SouthHead Peninsula andmuch of Rodney’s westcoast.

But farmers, horticul-turists and forestersraised concerns thatrestrictions might seethem unable to do somefarm activities like fenc-ing without a resourceconsent.

The adopted WestCoast Policy Area is

consistent with Signifi-cant Landscape Sensi-tivity Quality areasidentified in the Auck-land Regional PolicyStatement.

Within the revisedarea, controls on build-ings have been alteredto permit the develop-ment of farm accessorybuildings that are 50square metres or less.

The rules relating tofencing, artificial shel-terbelts and stockyardshave also been clarified,making it clear theseare also permitted.

Something everyparent should know

Advertorial

Toll andretolledI have two questions andtwo complaints.

Now that we are partof Auckland (I live inWellsford) does thatmean the phonecompanies are going torecognise the fact andmake it free-callingfor the greaterAuckland?

I notice to call the newAuckland Council it’s atoll.

One of my complaintsis road cones.

They seem to beeverywhere where workisn’t happening, or lefton the road for a longtime.

People end up notbelieving in the signsand break the law. Iwent via State Highway16 to Silverdale and agood 20 percent of thetrip was at 30kmh and Ididn’t see any work goingon. Crazy!

Last thing is thetunnels.

I haven’t paid the feesince they openedbecause of rain, too manypeople at the pay stationor not passing either ofthe two places to pay onway back.

I have been sent feereminders plus a $2administration fee and awarning of a $40 fine.

I have treated it as an

account and have let itadd up because there isnowhere to pay inWellsford and I don’thave a credit or debitcard.

And I thought theywouldn’t add a $40 finebecause they hadn’talready.

But in the last week Ihave received twoenvelopes with a total of14 fines, five times intotal of what I owe.

If we could pay at aPostshop maybe so muchof the $2 fee would not besucked up inadministration.

If power companieslost such a big chunk ofincome on admin theywould be broke, or powerwould cost 10 times asmuch.

I know I had warningson all letters of possiblefines but if they enforcedit the first time I wouldhave paid every time orgone the other way.

I feel ripped off.Make it one more

question.Am I the only one to be

caught out like this withthe tunnels or is this theway they make most oftheir money?

These aren’t easytimes and I know manypeople that the system –on many issues – fails tohelp or consider.

p!

T his month’s Plant Talk is inspired by the chirps of tui all around me. They are noisy

little critters but delightful to listen to.There are also lots of the quieter but just as impressive kereru (native pigeons) wafting about as well. The pigeons have been gorging themselves on the berries of our Syzygium paniculatumtree (Australian rose apple) and the tui have been feeding on the early flowering cherry as well as a bowl of sugar water our neighbour has put out for them. She has had as many as 16 at a time around the bowl of syrupy water. (A recipe on Forest & Bird’s website suggests half a cup of sugar dissolved in one litre of water.)For lots of our customers, one of the driving forces for their plantings is to provide food for the birds, and it’s not hard to do, with plenty of fruit and/or nectar producing plants to choose from.Right about now, we’ll see beautiful kowhai start flowering throughout Rodney. Birds love the long, golden hanging flowers, especially the tui and kereru. Puriri is another favourite, with almost year-round pink flowers for the nectar eaters such as tui, bellbird and silvereye. The flowers are followed by large red fruit, eaten by tui and kereru.Being frost tender, puriri is not easy to grow in all situations, but it’s certainly a great food provider.Other big-growing natives with good tucker for the birds include karaka, with its large yellow to orange fruit (that only the kereru can manage), kahikateawith its little orange fruit, rewarewa(nectar-rich flowers), pohutukawa(nectar), titoki (red and black seed capsules), rimu (autumn fruit) and taraire (dark purple autumn fruit) .

Other fruit or seed producers among the natives include pittosporums, cabbage trees, corokias, nikau, coprosmas,whiteywood and matipo. Griselinia littoralis (kapuka), is well known as a garden hedge; less well known is its ability to produce a great crop of yummy black berries for the birds.Tui can’t resist the nectar in the flax flowers which appear on tall spikes in summer. Phormium tenax (swamp flax) and Phormium cookianum (mountain flax) flower at slightly different times,so some of each is good from the birds’ point of view.The popular astelias, which look a bit like flax, with silver-toned strappy leaves, have small fruit for our feathered friends, as does another flax lookalike,the small-growing, shade-loving Dianella intermedia. Native plants aren’t the only source of food for birds – many introduced species also bring the birds, including bottlebrush, melaleuca, Eucalyptus ficifolia (scarlet flowering gum), melia, viburnums, dogwoods (with their strawberry-like fruit) and the grevilleas. The latter come in many shapes and forms. The cultivar ‘Ned Kelly’ is a particularly good shrubby grevillea for your garden, growing to about 1.5m,with large orange to red flowers almost year round — great colour when used in mass plantings on banks or borders.For something a bit different, kereru love the flowers and juicy new leaves of the golden weeping willow in spring.

Quick fixes for yourgarden

With the count down to summer parties,barbecues and Christmas now offi ciallyunderway, minor panic can set in aswe worry about how to get the gardenlooking good in time.There are some very easy options that can make quite a difference. A fresh layer of bark mulch works wonders. It hides a multitude of problemsand will instantly give your garden a lift. Get rid of your weeds first, either byspraying or pulling by hand, then eventhe thinnest layer of mulch will make a difference immediately. But a thick layer (10 to 15cm deep) is much better, because it has the added benefit of keeping yourplants moist through summer, and suppressing the next crop of weeds.Other products such as river pebbles willhave the same effect.In the plant department, coloured fl axesare perfect for providing immediate impact. Use them for filling in any gapsin your garden that need a lift. Plant three or four of one colour to make astatement.Flaxes, along with astelias and dwarf shrubs such as Tahitian pohutukawa, thedwarf bottlebrush �Little John�, dwarf agapanthus, hebes or native grasses, areuseful for covering up unsightly barepatches at the base of taller shrubs and adding an attractive layered look.Maybe a new hedge is needed to defi ne a space or give an edge to the garden. Your new plants don�t need to be huge tomake a difference � it�s surprising what a difference a neat row of even quite small plants can make. This winter we managed to do someplanting around our own property (yes, nurserymen�s gardens are a bit like

mechanic�s cars), and one of our little projects was a row of buxus (box) along one edge of our house drive. We usedbushy little plants of about 20cm high, spaced at 20cm apart. The plants weresmall, but the effect was immediate,giving a neat defined edge to what had been a rather scruffy space between the drive and the paddock fence. Now, the newly planted buxus accentuates the flowing curve of the drive and adds a bit of polish.Lonicera (box honeysuckle) is anotherfavourite for low, smart hedges to accentuate the curves in a borderplanting, or to complete a formal garden. With its little green leaves, it�s often usedas a substitute for buxus, but is muchfaster.Bigger growing hedges, such as griselinia, pittosporum, photinia or corokia can beused to hide untidy areas in your gardenor the neighbour�s garden.When you have planted your new hedge,trim it straight away, taking just the tipsout of the shortest plants and cutting back the taller plants so they match theshortest. Instantly, it starts to look likea hedge.And while you�re out there with the clippers, give the existing hedges a trimfor Christmas as well. Another gardenspruce-up trick for the party season is to get the lawn looking sharp. Aim to mow it weekly, so there are no big windrowsof dead grass, and trim the edges to keepthem neat. This is my last Plant Talk for the year. Back again next autumn. Meantime, happy gardening.Email: [email protected]

When disaster strikes ...

Heads FM: Veteranbroadcaster Mark Perryfounded Heads FM sixyears ago, and now thestation is switching tosolar power backup.

During an emergency,radio communication isvital in keeping com-munities informed.

But what if the radiostation’s power goesout too?

This is the questionthat led Heads FM inMangawhai to installsolar power backup. .

In winter 2006,hurricane-force windsclosed roads, blewdown trees and cutpower for up to amonth, and Heads FMwas off air for a week.The station has becomea reliable source ofemergency informationover the past year’snumerous tsunamievents, and so founderand veteran broad-caster Mark Perrythought it was time toensure it could keep

broadcasting no matterwhat.

With an environ-mental focus foremostin his mind, yet stillwanting to be a reliablemedia vehicle for civil

defence purposes,Mark says his aim is toavoid ‘‘noisy, fossil-fuelguzzling generators’’ byinstead relying onrenewable solar energyto charge a batterybank to keep the sta-tion on air in times ofpower cuts.

Heads 106.4FM isMangawhai’s only localradio station andstreams live via itsFacebook page.

The new solar sys-tem is on grid, whichmeans it converts anysun energy availableand feeds it into thegrid.

The backup batteriesare charged by the sunand only kick in whenthere is a power cut.

These units providepower for about twodays without sun.

Brown new chairmanCraig Brown is theNorthland RegionalCouncil’s new chairman.

The Bream Bay resi-dent replaces MarkFarnsworth, who had ledthe council for the pastnine years.

John Bain, now serv-ing his second term onthe council, is deputychairman.

Seven of the council’s

eight members, includ-ing newcomers TonyDavies-Colley, BronwynHunt and Graeme Ram-sey, were sworn in lastweek.

Mr Ramsey ended for-mer Kaipara chairmanMark Farnsworth’s 18years on the council.

Kaitaia-based IanWalker will be sworn inthis month.

Retail success for KaiparaA passion for healthy liv-ing and preserving theenvironment helpedRacheal and RobbieHinsch of Paparoa winthe Excellence in Retailcategory at the WestpacNorthland Business Ex-cellence Awards.

The Kaipara coupleown the new SunshineOrganics Store inMaungaturoto and ThePaparoa Store. Both bus-inesses stood out whenthe Kaipara DistrictCouncil searched for

local talent to enter theawards.

The win was unexpec-ted, Racheal says.

‘‘I was quite shockedwhen I heard that wewon because I had beentold that first-timenominees don’t often winthe award.

‘‘We feel very hon-oured. The judges couldobviously see our heartand vision for the busi-nesses,’’ she says.

The number of contest-ants was up on last year

despite the economicdownturn and the rigor-ous entry process. SevenKaipara business applic-ations were received.

Kaipara mayor NeilTiller is impressed withthe large number ofKaipara entrants anddelighted that a localbusiness won the retailsection.

‘‘Retail is one of themost competitive cate-gories and many of ourbusinesses will feel in-spired by this win.’’

atmosphere draws you across heated floors to a grand, gas ignited log fire. Children can retreat to an upstairs wing

while an art studio beckons the creative spirit. A wealth of recycled materials, earth bricks and natural timbers

create a compelling mood & bifolds open to sweeping lawns with an outdoor brazier for entertaining on the terrace.

Spilling out to a heated 23 metre pool & spa, the pool pavilion (with tennis court next door) has a sauna and kitchen

with a pizza oven on the deck. Accommodation choices include a guest apartment above 4 car garaging. On two

titles with potential for two more, & a converted shearing shed. Just 35 minutes from Auckland.

osteoporosisYou might already have osteoporosis (weakening of the bones)

- but you won’t know it until a bone breaks.40% of women over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.

An osteoporotic fracture can mean the end of an active lifestyle whetheryour passion is walking or skiing, golf or tennis.

In the past osteoporotic fractures were an accepted part of ageing.Nowadays osteoporosis can be diagnosed and treated even before a bone breaks.DEXA Bone Density Scans are the most accurate tool for diagnosing osteoporosis.

Please think about it. Osteoporosis is one of those thingswhere a stitch in time can save nine.

More funds for weight surgeryAssociate Health Minister Tariana Turia hasannounced that up to 300 additional weight-lossoperations will be funded over the next four years.

‘‘This is a huge step in enhancing the longetivityand the quality of life for New Zealanders who sufferthe adverse impacts of obesity,’’ says Mrs Turia.

The extra 300 operations will provide bariatricsurgery for approximately 75 Kiwis a year for the

next four years.This funding will increase by more than a quarter

the current number of these operations done eachyear, and will cost $2 million per year.

‘‘This surgery can improve quality of life andreduce the costs and harm from preventable diseasethat severe obesity causes. It’s clear that for somepeople surgery remains the only realistic option forthem to prevent serious health problems furtherdown the track. This is a significant investment inthe health and wellbeing of people who struggleeveryday with weight related health problems,’’ shesays.
