The Hawke's Bay East Coast Branch Construction Awards celebrates outstanding infrastructure achievements... and we reckon infrastructure in Hawkes Bay, post cyclone Gabrielle, is something we should all be excited about. Jesse talks to one of the judges Greg Lumsden.

A witness in the inquest into 13 deaths linked to Cyclone Gabrielle in Hawke's Bay has warned the coroner that more people will be harmed unless local councils set trigger levels for rivers, so everyone knows when an evacuation is needed. The second phase of the coronial inquiry ends today in the Hastings District Court. For three weeks Coroner Erin Woolley has been looking at why hundreds of people's lives were put at risk during the 2023 weather event when they weren't evacuated in time. Hawke's Bay Tairawhiti reporter Alexa Cook has been covering the inquest.

Succession — it's not just one of the best tele shows ever created, it's also something of a challenge when it comes to the wine world of Aotearoa. I recently wrote a piece on how the future of NZ wine might need to look a lot more collaborative as opposed to inherited, and as if to really double down on the idea, our guests for today have embraced both. They've only gone and collaborated to make a really special, actually quite spectacular, wine together from the magical fruits of the Two Terraces Vineyard in Hawkes Bay under the Three Fates label. Of course, I'm talking about Holly Girven Russell and her dad, Gordon Russell. These two are a total delight and, as we chatted away, Holly challenged her Pops to a blind tasting of what turned out to be - his very own wine. Did he guess what it was? Did he even guess that he made it? Did any of us manage to guess it? Well, no spoilers but suffice to say the wine was a great nod to Gordo's experimental and creative wine career. Gordon has worked as winemaker at one of New Zealand's most respected wine estates for over 30 years and he's an innovator. He spent his winemaking life getting all experimental with new wine varieties and blends that contributed to the evolution of NZ wine. And he played a lot of vinyl. He reckons he just missed the Punk era but to be frank, it feels like Gordo is adept at embracing a bit of counter culture. As if London is some sort of portal to a wine career for this family, Holly was off to live the bright lights, big city life in London town herself and with some wine hook ups from her Dad, she ended up working as part of the wine buying team for Marks & Sparks.Fast forward to 2025 Holly is now a winemaker, making wine in Hawkes Bay on her own terms which has culminated in a role at Decibel Wines and as one Fate of the truly wonderful, explorative, collaborative wine brand Three Fates which Holly started with pals, Hester Nesbitt & Casey Motley.Just like a map of London, this chat departs down side streets and little lanes of family memories, shared experience and how making a wine together has created an incredible opportunity that both Father and Daughter have each brought their own inimitable style and panache.So old chaps, pull your A to Z map book and your tube pass from your satchel, pour yourself a jolly crisp refreshment and Mind the Gap, this is the not serious Holly Girven Russell and Gordon Russell chat. not serious wine chats would like to thank our supporters:TradecraftBy the BottleAntipodes Water Co.

This time of the year a wonderful Pohutukawa “shrub” is flowering its little heads off: Metrosideros carminia known as the crimson rata; a Native in the North Island all the way down to Taranaki and Hawkes Bay. It comes as a shrub when you get them from cuttings, but they'll move up like tree climbers when they emerge from seeds. Pollinators love them – and so do I. Favourite food of tui and bellbirds, as well as silvereyes and wood pigeons (kereru). Kowhai come in many different species and heights; there are fabulous, gnarled forms which, in themselves, are beautifully sculptured. Divaricating shrubs!! Muehlenbeckia astonii. A Native plant that could be your new hedge, or your sculpted shrub, or even a suitable nesting site for native birds. It's all about elegant little leaves, hanging from a zig-zagging system of branches that you will only find in Aotearoa. In winter the whole shrub will change colours to a Dark-Orange that will stand out, no matter what the weather is like. White flowers – and all this is endemic. May I introduce you to the Corokia - another yellow Native of our country. It's full of flowers at this time of the year; also with zig-zag twigs and Endemic distribution – we know how to grow weird and wonderful natives! Often on these flowering shrubs you will find native bees sucking nectar for their off-spring, pollinating the flowers and creating large amounts of seeds for our landscapes Horopito (Pseudowintera colorata) is another one of those shrubs that stands out in its colour – It's native to New Zealand, and our local “garden fiddlers” have managed to breed a range of varieties in all sorts of colours. If you want to see them spectacularly bunched together in our native habitat, go to the Catlins: you'll fall in love with them! Oh – and the leaves are edible… lovely and hot.

Alexa talks about this week's Coroner's Inquest into Cyclone Gabrielle, the legal action being taken against Wairoa's regional council and the village of Onga Onga celebrates 150 years.

The first witness to give evidence at a coronial inquiry looking into the deaths of 13 people during Cyclone Gabrielle says Gisborne's civil defence was better organised than Hawkes Bay. Ken Cooper was the central Team Leader for Urban Search and Rescue during the cyclone and was deployed to Tairawhiti first, before moving on to the Hawkes Bay region. Mr Cooper's evidence is part of a three week inquest at Hastings District Court to examine the emergency response on preparedness of authorities during the devastating 2023 storm.

Unerased: Made in Palestine is an exhibition by Pōneke-based artist Emily Hartley-Skudder, illustrator, maker, and activist Pinky Fang, and multi-disciplinary artist Nathan Taare, opening tonight at 250 Ponsonby Road.  The exhibition began with Pinky's mother discovering a collection of imported vintage cosmetics at an estate sale in the Hawkes Bay, of which a variety of beauty products - deodorant, hair oil, baby powder, toothpaste, and more - were labelled ‘Made in Palestine'. Notably, the products are all from pre-1948, and a number of the brands are most likely European Zionist manufacturers who had immigrated to Palestine before rebranding their labelling to “Made in Israel” in 1948. All proceeds from the exhibition go towards Convoys of Good for families in Gaza.
