As monster storm Cyclone Pam continues to build over Vanuatu, there will be a worrying flow on effect for New Zealand. We talk to forecasters, and cross to Port Vila. There's been plenty of criticism the public warning came too late, but one expert says the Government has jumped the gun on the 1080 milk threat, with its tactics adding fuel to the culprit's fire and why NASA selected a South Island tourist town for its latest high tech balloon project.

Waitemata Community Law Centre getting bigger
BODY:
One of the country's busiest community law centres is getting bigger, despite its frozen funding. Waitemata Community Law services lower socio economic families, free of charge. It's one of twenty four centres in the country funded by central government.
EXTENDED BODY:
“My lawyer was so lovely, cool, calm and collected. She said, ‘Go home and don’t worry. We will have it sorted’.”
– ”Angie” grateful client of the Waitemata Community Law Centre.
One of the country’s busiest community law centres is getting bigger, despite its frozen funding. Waitemata Community Law services lower socio-economic families, free of charge. It’s one of twenty-four centres in the country funded by central government.
The day I visit I meet a dedicated bunch of staff members and one very satisfied client. The client is “Angie” a diminutive woman, well into her retirement years and with a husband who’s poorly. She is initially very nervous talking to me, but she soon warms to her story… a tale of troubles with a power company.
Image: Waitemata Community Law Centre client “Angie” talks Centre Manager, Paula Bold-Wilson.
Twelve months ago Angie signed up with a new power company on the strength of one visit from a very persuasive door to door salesman. He promised her cash of 150 dollars if she joined… money she says she never saw. Then later in the year Angie discovered that she was going to have to move. It was a matter that was out of her hands. So she got back in touch with the energy company.
After that Angie started receiving a demand for an extra 95 dollars, the penalty for not giving the company a month’s notice. Apparently that bit was on the back of the form she signed in front of the door to door bloke. But she says she never saw it, and he never mentioned it.
Anyway the company kept phoning. It said the matter would be put into the hands of debt collectors. Angie went on anti-depressants. Finally she turned to her local Citizen’s Advice Bureau who sent her off to the Waitemata Community Law Centre. The matter was quickly sorted by the professionals. It only took a letter to the power company and Angie was blissfully relieved.
Angie is just one of more than four and a half thousand people the centre helps each year. Five hundred thousand Aucklanders live in the Waitemata centre’s zone… west Auckland, and right up into the rural areas, north of Auckland. There are three other community law centres in greater Auckland, plus youth and disability centres.
For her troubles, Kirsty Broderick, Angie’s lawyer, got a card and chocolates from her grateful client. It’s all in a day’s work for Kirsty after two years work at the centre full time.
Image: Centre lawyer Kirsty Broderick (R) with Legal student volunteer Simon Lamain (L)
Centre Manager Paula Bold-Wilson says the five lawyers on her staff have a strong sense of social justice, otherwise they would not work there. She says many of the centre’s clients have already come up against societal barriers before turning up at her centre: they can be people facing bewildering issues at court, who find themselves in debt , or who’re dealing with immigration challenges they just don’t understand. She says the case-load at the Waitemata Community Law Centre is growing and becoming more complex, and all the work is being done on an annual budget that’s been frozen since 2009.
“Just a little gift to say a BIG thank you for your loving kindness and support in my time of stress and need. I really appreciate your valuable time, getting this sorted. Love Angie x"
– Thank you note from centre client "Angie" to centre lawyer Kirsty, accompanying a box of chocolates.

Cloudy with a chance of clams
BODY:
Ant Piper and his sons have been wild harvesting clams since the early 1990s. The jewels of the catch are diamond shell, moon shell, tua tua and storm clam. A marine engineer by trade, Ant designed a hydraulic winnowing rake to pump water into the sand and gently scoop up the shellfish which are prone to bruising.
EXTENDED BODY:
Ant Piper and his sons from Cloudy Bay Clams have been wild harvesting the shellfish since the early 1990s.
A marine engineer by trade, Ant has designed and built a hydraulic winnowing rake to pump water into the sand and gently scoop up the clams. He says it's important the clams are treated with care as they are prone to bruising.
Currently the shellfish are harvested in Cloudy Bay in Marlborough and off Pegasus Beach in Canterbury. Ant also has a new boat under construction that will be used to harvest clams off Foxton Beach in the North Island.
Ant says, "This fishery has huge potential. We've gone from 100 tonne a year annual catch entitlement to 4000 tonne and I believe you could extrapolate that out so that nationally this fishery will be in excess of 30,000 tonne."
The jewels of the catch are diamond shell, moon shell, tuatua and the larger storm clam that often number only six or seven to the kilogram.
All the clams go into a storage facility and wet store in Marlborough that sits on the spit between Lake Grassmere and the ocean. Sea water is pumped into the facility to keep the shellfish fresh while they're cleaned and graded before being shipped out live.

Katikati BioBlitz
BODY:
For 24 hours last weekend the Katikati community went in search of every species that lives in their area. Fungi, algae, moths, fish, weeds, intestinal worms and more than 45 types of spiders were brought into the town's memorial hall to be documented by scientists. The aim of the BioBlitz was to notch up 2400 species.
EXTENDED BODY:
Bruce and Trixie Harvey out collecting plant samples.
Last weekend the rural, Bay of Plenty town Katikati hosted what's believed to be the biggest BioBlitz ever held in New Zealand.
The BioBlitz set out to identify every living organism in the Uretara catchment, an area that runs from the Kaimai Range to the Tauranga Harbour.
Organiser and retired scientist Peter Maddison says the 24 hour event was the country's first to take in a whole catchment and township.
"This also is the most comprehensive BioBlitz in including not just the obvious plants and animals, but also making a start on the bacteria and fungi that occur on and in our bodies and those of our pets and farm animals, and also those moulds and other greeblies that inhabit our food and houses."
The aim was to catalogue 2400 species and, at the last minute, that number was surpassed.
Scientists were brought in from around New Zealand to identify species. Samples were also sent to scientists and labs in Australia for analysis.
Auckland-based botanist Trixie Harvey was given the job of identifying all the plants she could find on a kiwifruit orchard. She'd named 32 plants just wandering up the driveway.
"One of the interesting things is that people come and do something like this and all of a sudden they realise how many different types of plants and types on insects there are. People walk around sometimes not even noticing."
During the 24 hours an elusive moth that hadn't been seen in New Zealand for 25 years was found, another moth that could be a recent arrival from Australia was captured, and soil and water samples revealed five bacteria that are new to science.
A native geranium that has disappeared from many parts of the country was discovered in the Bay of Plenty for the first time and the rare slug-like peripatus was found in leaf litter.
Peter Maddison says results from the BioBlitz will form a basis for on going studies and will suggest areas for future restoration and conservation, species to protect, and issues to confront.
