A couple of months ago the wider Kaikōura district became our newest Dark Sky Sanctuary. Exciting news for Kaikōura, but it does mean the Council will have to make some changes.

"Be curious, not judgmental, and you'll find countless doors opening for you": bridging culture and navigating life. I am very happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to record this conversation with Kana

Highlights today include: Ben Cantu Returns to Luxxbox as VP of Business Development, Is Brighter Better?, Kaikōura Achieves International Dark Sky Sanctuary Status, Third in New Zealand.

Three's new local psychological thriller series is set to follow two best friends- and a surrogacy pact that falls through. Set in a post-quake Kaikōura, the series explores the town's recovery following the disaster, as the friendship between the leads turns toxic. Series creator Sarah-Kate Lynch and lead actress Morgana O'Reilly say the earthquake provided a solid backdrop for the series, as it impacted people differently. "For some people, the earthquake wasn't the end of anything, it was the beginning of things. If you were working on the roads, for example, your business might have done better. But if you had a little motel, you might have done worse." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The departing Chief Executive of the Insurance Council of New Zealand says if Wellington is hit with an earthquake on a similar scale to the Canterbury quakes, it would “raise some questions” on whether NZ insurers would be able to continue to purchase reinsurance at an affordable cost.“I think reinsurers would still be there. But the ability to purchase reinsurance at a good rate and the degree of capacity that would be available, particularly for property in Wellington, could be really challenging,” he says in a new episode of interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast.“Ensuring how we manage that risk is really critical because we're very dependent on offshore capital and reinsurance to help support our insurance programs in New Zealand.”The Insurance Council says to date, private insurers have incurred over $21 billion in expenses due to the Canterbury Earthquakes.Toka Tū Ake EQC has contributed an additional $10 billion, resulting in a total insured cost surpassing $31 billion for the event. The Insurance Council estimates the overall economic losses for the entire sequence are estimated to exceed $40 billion.This week marks the conclusion of Grafton's nearly 12-year tenure as CEO of the Insurance Council and he reflected on his time in the role on the podcast.He says lessons were learnt from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury Earthquakes, which were then applied to responses to the Kaikōura earthquake in 2016 and the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle last year as well.“When that [Kaikōura] earthquake struck, which was just a little bit after midnight, I think, on the 14th November, a lot of people were thrown out of bed almost by the earthquake in Wellington. And after the shaking stopped, I rang my counterpart at EQC Ian Simpson [EQC's Chief Executive at the time] and said, ‘we've got to do better than Canterbury and can we meet in a few hours and work out where we go from here',” he says.“So, within four weeks, we had the foundations of an agreement which enabled insurers to manage and settle claims on behalf of EQC. And that meant that for the customer, there was one point of accountability and responsibility for their claims, their insurer. And so it didn't matter whether it was an EQC claim or an insurer claim, they didn't get bounced around between the two.”“So from that, we then developed a more formal and longer lasting agreement with EQC to be their agents. And I think also the experience of those events from Canterbury through to Kaikōura, meant that when the Auckland anniversary floods and Cyclone Gabrielle came along, we were well seasoned in dealing with these kinds of situations.”Kris Faafoi will be the Insurance Council's new Chief Executive from next week. Faafoi held a number of portfolios during the Sixth Labour Government before he quit politics in 2022, including Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Broadcasting and Media, Immigration and Civil Defence.You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

A bumper summer is expected ahead of the cruise ship season.  A total of 54 ships will make 1,000 visits to New Zealand shores this season, expecting to bring around 350,000 passengers.  Kaikōura and Bluff both have forward bookings, and Lyttelton is back on the calendar following upgrades.  But Tourism Holding Limited CEO Grant Webster warns that infrastructure issues will eventually come into play.  He says we need a quality international cruise port, and we'll lose the cruise ships to Australia if we don't invest in that.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your host, Abigail Hannah, shares a whirlwind week-long roadtrip from Kaikōura to Aoraki with only three days of annual leave! It was a packed trip - from whale watching in Kaikōura to exploring LOTR film sites to climbing 2,200 stairs before sunrise. This roadtrip was inspired by Abigail's cousins visiting from the UK and it was extra special to be able to share her favourite region in NZ, Aoraki, with them. The trip includes many kilometers of driving down gravel roads, and plenty of steps on the hiking trails.

Fishery officers spend their days making sure recreational and commercial fishers stick to the rules that'll ensure there's plenty of kaimoana left in the sea for everyone. This week, podcast host Carol Stiles is heading out on a sparkling Kaikōura day with fishery officer Howard Reid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An investigation into the fatal boat accident in Kaikōura has found a fuel leak may have contributed to the deaths of five passengers. The vessel i-Catcher - chartered for a birdwatching trip - overturned in Goose Bay last September with eleven people on board. The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is now calling on Maritime New Zealand to improve its boat survey systems. Samantha Gee has more.

Thousands of commercial and recreational vessels could be at risk of leaking fuel lines because of a longstanding failure to check them. Five people died when the charter boat i-Catcher, with 11 people on board, capsized in Kaikōura last September. A preliminary report says a fuel leak may have contributed to their deaths with the five who died all showing symptoms of petrol exposure, consistent with inhaling and absorbing petrol fumes. Now, the Transport Accident Investigation Commission is urging Maritime New Zealand to include a vessel's entire fuel system in boat surveys. Executive Officer for the New Zealand Marine Transport Association, Margaret Wind spoke to Corin Dann.

In New Zealand in 1978, an unprecedented historic incident took place. UFO sightings have been reported in New Zealand since the 1900s, but this was the first time that a professional TV crew filmed and documented real UFO activity. Multiple people witnessed the event: the pilots, the camera crew, air traffic control and civilians on land. The government launched an investigation but came up with many alternative explanations regarding the cause of the lights. But those who were present that night, know what they saw…  Special thanks: Dr Paul Davidson from Byte Size Productions For pictures and more information, join us on social media Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Resources The Kaikoura UFOs 1978 Crew remember the day UFO was spotted over Kaikōura 40 years on The World Famous ‘Kaikoura Lights' sightings of December 1978  Wikipedia 1978 UFOs over New Zealand Created by Angus King & Sonya Lowe Narrated by Angus King

Neighbours of a woman who died in a boating tragedy in Kaikōura say finding out how the boat capsized would give them closure. Lower Hutt woman Susan Cade was among the five killed when a vessel - chartered for a birdwatching trip - overturned on Saturday.  Rosie Gordon has more.  

A sense of shock continues to ripple through Kaikōura in the wake of the loss of five lives in a boat capsize. Ten members of the Nature Photography Society were on board, along with the skipper, when tragedy struck on Saturday. One of the survivors remains in Christchurch Hospital in a stable condition. The cause of the capsize hasn't yet been established -- with authorities unable to confirm whether a whale was involved. Herald Reporter Katie Harris says locals have told her they never expected something like this to happen so close to shore, and for it to be so deadly.

Investigators have started contacting witnesses to the fatal capsizing of a boat south of Kaikoura at the weekend. Five people who were in the cabin died when the chartered vessel overturned at Goose Bay. Six people survived, including the skipper. The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is investigating the tragedy in conjunction with Maritime New Zealand and the police. RNZ reporter Samantha Gee spoke to Māni Dunlop from Kaikōura.

Although #vanlife has been glamourised on social media in recent years, Goose and Ellen open up about the realities of living on the road full-time, without a physical house as a base. With several different vehicles that they've called home, in two countries, over three years, they are definitely pros at this. In this episode they share the highlights - like waking up for sunrise every morning; and open up about the challenges - like rolling your van (aka house) on a rural road. They also talk about the hilarious wtf moments (warning: not safe for work). For Goose and Ellen, living in a van has given them the freedom and flexibility to travel around the Aotearoa. They're now based in Kaikōura, 16 seconds away from the beach, with the mountains as their backdrop, working dream jobs as opportunities arose from living on the road and having the time to hone their skills. Goose and Ellen's advice to anyone that wants to live a similar lifestyle on the road - just do it! Thank you so much for tuning in and coming along for the ride.

More than 8000 new homes are expected to be built in several centres around New Zealand as part of a new infrastructure investment. Housing Minister Dr Megan Woods announced in Ōtaki the new homes would be built across 20 years in Rotorua, Ōmokoroa, Kaikōura, Ōtaki, Napier, Gisborne and New Plymouth. The Bay of Plenty is expected to reap the greatest rewards from the funding, with more than 5600 homes and $123 million in funding. In total, the Government planned to spend $179m nationally on infrastructure such as pipes and roads. The Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF) was a component of the Government's $3.8 billion Housing Acceleration Fund announced in March 2021. It is a contestable fund of at least $1 billion and was launched on 30 June 2021. Woods said key projects will include works such as extensive stormwater management in both Rotorua and Napier, a State Highway 2 intersection in Ōmokoroa, and a local link road and cycleway in Kaikōura. "Upgrading water supply and roading in other projects will also deliver greater housing capacity." She said it also ensured to deliver funding to developments in areas of the country with some of the greatest need of additional supply. Homes built will range from elderly housing, papakāinga, public, affordable and market housing. "The only way we are going to solve the housing crisis is to build more houses." Woods said the Government was making the most investment since 1970 in land, housing and infrastructure like pipes and roads to enable new housing. "There is no silver bullet to solve the housing crisis but investments like this will make a difference." Twenty-eight more projects were undergoing due diligence and negotiations which were expected to conclude in coming months. There had been enormous interest from regions wanting to build more housing but who needed funding support for it to be viable. "We know a massive piece of the missing puzzle in the housing crisis we inherited is infrastructure; there simply hasn't been enough investment in getting land build-ready." Rotorua would receive the majority of the funding, with almost $85 million to fund stormwater solutions. The Western Bay of Plenty's Ōmokoroa will receive $38.4m Rotorua Lakes Council expected this infrastructure to enable over 3000 dwellings. The city's mayor Steve Chadwick said the announcement was huge. "This funding will enable us to accelerate this programme of work and reduce the timeframe for completion from thirty years to seven years." Another $38.4m will fund a State highway 2 intersection upgrade in Western Bay of Plenty to provide safe access to the Ōmokoroa peninsula and cater for the next 15 years of anticipated growth for the town. Western Bay of Plenty mayor Garry Webber said it would enable up to 2500 homes, with a mix of standalone homes, affordable homes and medium-density housing. More than 1000 homes were expected to be enabled in Ōtaki in ten years from about $29.32m of the funding allocated. This was to upgrade water supply and roading. Kāpiti Coast District mayor K Gurunathan said Ōtaki had the highest level of housing need in the Kāpiti Coast with the greatest affordability pressures on residents. "Only 20 per cent of renters can affordably pay the median market rent, with only 2 per cent able to buy a dwelling at the median market sale price." He said solutions must lie in partnerships and it had worked with iwi partners, particularly Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki. Napier's Maraenui will receive $12.4m for flood management work which the Napier City Council believed will provide network capacity for an additional 400 new homes, including public and affordable. Napier City Council chief executive Dr Steph Rotarangi said the community's wellbeing will be enhanced by improving its housing stock. The only South Island centre to receive funding was Kaikōura, where elderly housing was the focus. The district will receive $7.8m from the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund for projects expected to enable about 400 houses across two different sites – Vicarage Views, a new subdivision situated within the Kaikōura urban area, and Ocean Ridge an existing subdivision to the west of the town accessed by State Highway 1. Kaikōura District Council mayor Craig Mackle said it was a great result."We have a critical gap in modern, low to medium income housing and elderly housing units that we need to urgently address." The Taruheru catchment area in Gisborne will see a $4.2m IAF investment in key water supply, stormwater and roading upgrades. Gisborne District Council expected it will enable public, affordable and market housing, as well as a Toitū Tairāwhiti Housing site for mana whenua housing and a wellness centre. Gisborne District Council chief executive Nedine Thatcher Swann said it would enable 450 new homes over ten years and make it possible for developments on the eastern fringe of the city be completes much earlier than planned. Six housing developments in Ferndale, New Plymouth, will receive about $1.8million for investment in upgrades to the water supply and transport options. The New Plymouth District Council believed it will allow for up to 300 new homes over the long-term, with multi-modal transport options. Woods also announced that a review to modernise the Building Consent system is underway, with the public being invited to have their say. "The current building consent system was established in 1991 when many buildings new buildings were mostly detached, single-storey, timber-framed buildings." A lot has changed since then, she said, and the system needed to keep up. A better system will help transform the housing market, unlock productivity growth, stimulate urban development where it is needed, and make homes more affordable for all, she said. "We also want to provide assurance to building owners and users that building work will be done right the first time, and ensure that buildings are well-made, healthy, durable and safe. The review will not revisit the current joint and several liability rule but will examine "how we manage and allocate risk within the building system". Submissions close on September 04 and more information can be found on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment website.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was the first paūa season for Kaikōura in five years, but data is showing around 35 tonnes were taken by recreational fishers during the three-month season - more than the commercial and customary catch combined.  There are calls for the recreational take to be reported like the rest of the fishery.  Samantha Gee has more.   

A couple with a shared love of conservation have devoted the last seven years to protecting the banded dotterel living on the shores of Kaikōura . The birds nest on the sand, making them particularly vulnerable to predators - especially cats - as well as tide and storm surges, and disturbance from people who can't spot the well-camouflaged birds. Dotterels, or tuturiwhatu, are critically endangered, with numbers estimated to be around 19,000 nationally. Ailsa McGilvary-Howard and her husband Ted Howard spend their time monitoring the nests and eggs, trapping predators, researching and tracking flightpaths, advocating for cat containment, and much more. Last year, the pair were honoured with a Queen's Service Medal for their conservation work.

Kaikōura businesses remain optimistic about the future despite the return of tourists predicted to be still months away. The borders start reopening from next week. But for the seaside town renowned for its marine life, many don't believe visitors will flock back quickly. Tourism reporter Tess Brunton reports.

Iako je roman Čovekova porodica odavno dio kanona književnosti BiH, ipak, niti se njegovo ime spominje u lektirama niti se čitatelji mogu pohvaliti da su pročitali neku Kulenovićevu knjigu. Teme Kulenovićevog književnog djelovanja zavređuju čitanje.

Nuri je pčelar, a njegova supruga Afra umjetnica. Žive jednostavnim životom, okruženi najmilijima, u prelijepom gradu Alepu – dok im se ne dogodi nezamislivo. Kada sve ono što vole bude uništeno ratom i Afra bude svjedokinja strašnog događaja, svjesni su da nemaju izbora do da napuste svoj dom i krenu na putovanje prema Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Prisiljeni su preći težak put s nadom u bolje sutra i snovima o novim počecima, daleko od rata, ali i zemlje u kojoj su proveli najljepše trenutke. Na nevjerovatnom putovanju prepunom opasnosti, Nuri i Afra morat će se suočiti s bolom neizrecivog gubitka i ponovo pronaći jedno drugo. „Snažna priča o izbjegličkom iskustvu, nadi i ljubavi.“

Sevdalinka je ogledalo duše i duševnog stanja! Kako indivudualnog, tako i narodnog. U davnim vremenima, kada je postojala žudnja za određenim i neiskazanim, posebno iz odgojnih, tradicionalnih, religioznih ili trenutnih kulturoloških razloga, o ljubavi i ljubavnom izražaju čovjeku dragih osjećanja, narod je nalazio utjehu u pjesmi punoj sadržajnog ljubavnog naboja i narodu životno potrebnog i njemu samo znanog izraza, a to je stoljećima mogla i još uvijek može – sevdalinka!

I danas smo u saradnji sa Gradskom bibliotekom Olovo za vas pripremili “Izlog knjige”.Ovaj put Sanela Kaikčija preporučuje knjigu “Ilhamijin put u smrt” Rešada Kadića . O čemu govori knjiga; Sejjid Vehhab Ilhamija, koji je živio životom pravednika, a umro smrću mučenika u vezirskom gradu Travniku godine 1821. Potresen sudbinom zemlje i ljudi, produhovljeni pjesnik i pravednik nije mogao, a da ne digne svoj glas protiv onih koje je smatrao krivcima za zlu sudbinu rodne grude. Njegova protestna pjesma “Čudan zeman nastade” zapečatila je njegovu sudbinu – tadašnji bosanski vezir, nesmiljeni rashodža Dželaluddin Ali-paša, pozvao ga je u Travnik, uhapsio i pogubio.
