Smoke alarm saves

A smoke alarm saved Rangataua resident Ian Heappey from death on Friday night, after a fire broke out in rooms at the rear of his Miharo Street property.

He was asleep in a bedroom in the front part of the house, when a smoke alarm woke him up around midnight, after they had been set off by the fire in a living area in the back part of the house.

Mr Heappey said he has no doubt that he wouldn’t have woken up if it weren’t for the smoke alarm.

He got up and went down the hallway to a door into the living area and was blasted with hot air when he opened it. Until then there was no discernable smoke

Ian Heappey surveys the damage to his house after a stack of wood ignited. He is thankful that his smoke alarm did its job.

One of the many groups that got into the spirit of the Ohakune Mountain Mardi Gras on Saturday night, showing the ‘courage of their convictions’. Audiology, organisers of the event, said the crowd were “amazing”. “Incredible outfits, everyone in good spirits, such a vibe.” They responded to concerns before the event that some acts clashed between the two stages – meaning some people had to choose between two acts that were boooked for the same time slot. “Taking all feedback into account, we’ve done our best to juggle what we can.” Photo: Robert Milne.

Tuna for the Makotuku

A new sculpture now graces the Mākōtuku Walkway in Raetihi, depicting three eels, or tuna.

Project leader Raymond Berry said a local sculptor created the steel work, using tuna as the subject as the health of the river is sometimes judged by the health of the tuna in the river.

Money for the sculpture came from the diesel spill mitigation fund, which had $15,070 excluding GST remaining up until recently.

The remaining funds were to be distributed amongst a town sculpture project, upgrade of the Domain Tennis Courts and the upgrade of the Mākūtuku River walkway.

The Ruapehu District Council property team is overseeing the three projects.

The town sculpture project group was allocated $5000.

Meanwhile, more planting on the walkway has been carried out, the latest with pupils from Ruapehu College getting behind the project.

“It’s so great to get our kids involved, not only as a happy workforce, but it also provides the opportunity for the kids to take pride and ownership of the area,” said project leader Donna Journeaux.

“The area is looking fabulous and will be a lovely spot in a year or so when all the plants are established.”

or heat in the front section of the house.He shut the door and escaped out the front of the house

and called the fire brigade.Two appliances from Ohakune and two from Raetihi

attended, with volunteer fire fighters donning breathing apparatus to search the house to check if there was anyone still inside.

They doused the fire and climbed up to extinguish flames that had got into the roof space.

Ohakune Fire Chief John ‘Luigi’ Hotter said the fire was contained in the living area, due to a shortage of oxygen thanks to Mr Heappey keeping the doors shut.

He said it appeared that the fire had started in a stack of wood up against a Kent log burner.

Boarders living in the back part of the house had left for the evening, after loading up the Kent fire.

Mr Hotter said that after the fire crew was sure there was no one in the house, they quickly knocked back the fire with water.

Mr Hotter said the incident emphasised the importance of working smoke alarms because they clearly saved Mr Heappey’s life.

The Fire Service says smoke alarms cannot detect smoke through a closed door, so recommends installing a smoke alarm in every bedroom, hallway and living area.

The New Zealand Building Code requires an approved smoke alarm to be fitted in every escape route (hallway) and within three metres of every sleeping space (bedroom) door.

Ruapehu’s current mayor Don Cameron is calling on all eligible Ruapehu voters to get in-volved in the local authority elections in October this year.

“I strongly encourage people to inform them-selves about the issues confronting Ruapehu, what the candidates stand for, and then voting in the election.

“I would also encourage citizens with strong leadership qualities and a passion for their com-munity to consider standing as candidates them-selves,” said Mr Cameron.

He said RDC has organised two candidate

briefing meetings for prospective candidates on what is involved in being an elected member.

The first is in Ohakune on Wednesday 3 July and then in Taumarunui on Thursday 4 July, both at 6.00pm in the respective township Council Chambers.

Mr Cameron said the call for candidates is not a reflection on Ruapehu’s current elected members.

“The fact is the larger the pool of skilled candidates we have standing, the more we can improve local democracy and ensure the value

Council delivers to our communities remains high.

“Residents from the Waimarino-Waiouru Ward and National Park Ward may also want to consider standing for their local Community Board.”

Mr Cameron noted that the community sup-port for the 2018/28 Long Term Plan work pro-gramme has sent an important signal that Ruap-ehu is thinking strategically as a united district and is working toward a common vision to grow incomes, jobs and opportunities.

“We need to have elected representatives that

have the energy, ability and diversity of skills make a positive contribution toward this journey and meet the challenges ahead.

“Local government has a significant impact on people’s everyday lives and I encourage all eligible voters to take an active part in the up-coming electoral process.

“By informing yourself about the issues and the candidates, and casting your vote, or even standing for election, you can help ensure that our communities have the right leadership to prosper and succeed both now and into the future.”

Ruapehu golfSuper Sunday saw some fantastic golf displays at the

Waimarino Golf Course.For the third weekend in a row the stableford jackpot

has been achieved. Not to be out done by Robert, son Anton “power of two men” Edmonds returned to the outstanding form the club is used to seeing hit the jackpot on his way to carding a fantastic net 64.

Also an impressive display by club number Wally Hayes as he continues to show great form in carding a fantastic one under par gross score of 71.

Andy Entwisle, finishing strong, carded a net 61 to take out the Sunday haggle ahead of Anton Edmonds with Grant Pope returning from the Windy City to card a net 67 for third.

Twos were scored by Krishane “Goldie” Edmonds on the 9th, Christiaan Van Der Westhuzien and Andy Entwisle on the 17th.

With points available this weekend in the “Race to the Ruapehu Cup” competition, there’s a change at the top of the table with Rex Harding moving to the top on 237 ahead of Steve Gray on 228 and Geoff Leahy a further 13.5 points back.

Next weekend’s club day competition will be the second and final qualifying round for the Anderson Cup with the top 16 qualifying for the match play rounds so it’s the last chance for members to get a card in to qualify – also a good chance to improve your qualifying position. It will also be a Ruapehu Cup points day.

Ladies casual Fridays golf from 12pm will continue through the winter, all welcome.

Makotuku scholarship recipient announced

Raetihi student Odette Edmonds is the recipient of the Uenuku Charitable Trust’s Makotuku Scholarship recipient for 2019.

Odette is completing her second year of study toward a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) at New Zealand Tertiary College.

Established by Uenuku in partnership with Pure Capital Ltd, the $5000 Makotuku Scholarship is offered to registered members who are undergraduate or graduate students enrolled fulltime in a degree programme.

It was established in 2018 to support descendants of Uenuku, Tamakana and Tamahaki to attain higher levels of educational achievement, and to build capacity and capability that supports whānau, hapū and iwi development.

In addition to proven academic merit, the 2019 recipient demonstrated a commitment to tikanga Māori and te reo Māori; to community; and to building skills and expertise to support tribal development.

It is envisaged that the recipients of this scholarship will be committed to the future economic, environmental, social and cultural wellbeing of Uenuku, Tamakana and Tamahaki iwi, hapū and whānau.

The Uenuku Scholarship Selection Committee noted the extremely high calibre of applicants across a wide range of fields of study. Eleven applications were received from uri studying in areas such as medicine, business, law, arts, sports science, education and environment.

“We are proud of all our applicants and wish them every success in their studies,” Uenuku Charitable Trust said.

Ruapehu were denied another possible three tries during the course of the game. Within 15 minutes of the second half Bor-der scored again and converted, bringing the score to 22-7.

The Ruapehu bench started to be emp-

tied, and Border coaches were encouraging their team to touch down again for a bonus point, the Ruapehu defence denied all but a penalty from the accurate boot of Nick Harding, bringing the final score to 25-7.

This coming weekend Ruapehu play Kaierau at Rochfort Park Ohakune, at 2:30pm and there will be a curtain-raiser with Ruapehu Under 13s at 1pm. Come and support your local team.

Ōhakune has a macron

Ōhakune now officially has a macron over the ‘o’, the New Zealand Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa (NZGB) has announced.

It is one of 824 Māori place names made official.The names are all in common use with 307 now

including macrons. Examples include Taupō, Whakatāne, Whangārei, Lake Wānaka, Ōhakune, Ōpōtiki and Tūrangi.

“Applying macrons correctly in written Māori provides the meaning of a name and assists with pronunciation. This is important for all New Zealanders,” says Anselm Haanen, acting chairperson of the NZGB.

“Many Māori place names have important stories behind them, so ensuring the correct spelling will help keep those stories alive. For example, as part of these changes New Zealand’s longest place name, Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauotamateapōkaiwhenuakitānatahu, has had macrons added. The name tells the story of the hill where Tamatea played his flute to his loved one.”

Many of the names have resulted from a collaborative project with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu to officially recognise their traditional tūturu names from their online cultural heritage atlas, Kā Huru Manu. The remaining names were made official to support the Say it Tika campaign.

The full list of these official Māori place names is available at

Police pleased with Mardi Gras weekend

Police were “very happy with the weekend” and the with the crowd behaviour in Ohakune for the Mardi Gras, reports Ohakune Sgt Steve Dowie. However, once again they were disappointed at the number of people caught driving while over the alcohol limit.

Sgt Dowie said overall it was a fairly successful weekend in terms of

policing.He said 70 staff

from around the region were brought in for the weekend, from New Plymouth to Palmerston North. The Mardi Gras Police operation started at 8am on Friday morning and ran until 11pm Sunday night.

Staff were split between general policing duties and manning check points at

both ends of town.As well as drink driving,

Police were concerned about fatigue for drivers in terms of road safety, with some drivers choosing to drive home on Sunday morning to Wellington or Auckland having had very little sleep.

Apart from drink driving matters, Police made six arrests, for minor offences and for detoxing. Only one person was facing a court appearance – on a charge of wilful damage after smashing a car wing mirror – with the others given pre-charge warnings.

However, Police are investigating five burglaries that were reported over the weekend.

Sgt Dowie said it was good to see wilful damage cases well down on past years’ numbers.

“Every year seems to be improving.”

He said Police were happy with the way organisers ran the event, having made a lot of improvements to various aspects including the one-way system to and from the venue. He said this worked well and saw the venue cleared quickly after the event.

Sgt Dowie said the event security staff did a good job in dealing with incidents inside the venue, evicting around 45 people, mostly for unruly behaviour.

Power trust supports warmer homesWarmer, drier and healthier homes in the King Coun-

try is the aim of a Trust that has been bolstered by finan-cial support from another trust.

King Country Electric Power Trust (KCEPT) recently made a $50,000 donation to the Maru Energy Trust, ac-knowledging its support for Maru’s vision.

“KCEPT understands the climate and economy we all live in and is proud to donate to the Maru Energy Trust this year,” Chairman Adie Doyle says.

“We support Maru’s initiatives, particularly the insula-tion of homes in the King Country region, which will benefit not only those homeowners but our communities as a whole.”

Maru Energy Trust was established by The Lines Compa-ny (TLC) in August last year, as an independent charitable trust, and receives the bulk of its funding from the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority’s (EECA) Warmer Kiwi Homes programme with the remainder from TLC.

TLC chief executive and Maru trustee Sean Horgan says KCEPT’s donation is extremely generous.

“It’s great that other community trusts see how benefi-cial the Maru programme is to local people, and the posi-tive outcomes home insulation brings for those living in

cold, damp conditions.“KCEPT’s support will allow us to insulate even more

homes than what we had hoped to achieve.”To date, the Maru trust has funding to insulate 56

homes in TLC’s network area, and work is on-going.“The response to the programme has been overwhelm-

ing, which shows there is a definite need for home insu-lation, with enquiries coming from all areas,” says Mr Horgan.

Administrator Jo Meads, who is based in Te Kuiti, says the feedback has been excellent.

“People are genuinely very grateful to have the oppor-tunity to go through the eligibility and assessment pro-cess, and we’re delighted that some homes have already been insulated.”

KCEPT derives its income from a share portfolio along with profits from its 25% share in King Country Energy.

There are approximately 10,000 consumer beneficiar-ies in the southern King Country who receive an annual distribution from KCEPT through The Lines Company’s billing system.

The Maru Energy Trust is planning to seek applica-tions from the Waimarino area soon.

First loss for Ruapehu PremiersMcCarthy’s Ruapehu Premier team’s

dream run so far this season, came to an end on Saturday against Waverley Har-vesting Border, who were coming off a stinging loss to Kaierau the previous week of competition rugby.

Ruapehu have drawn the most away games and the trek to Waverley on Mar-di Gras weekend coupled with a shuffle around of player positions may have con-tributed to the “lack of fire” to be able to hold the Border team, but the team were not making excuses. Border were the bet-ter team on the day.

Ruapehu were awarded one penalty in

the first half and, while they camped on Border’s line for a good part of the first twenty minutes, they couldn’t penetrate the defence. Border were first to put points on the board with a penalty kick and out run Ruapehu for an unconverted try, to bring the score to 8-0 at half time.

A quick try to Border in the second half took their score to 15, followed by a try by Troy Brown through a gap in the Bor-der defence. Mitchell Millar converted to bring the score to 15-7.

Dress-up still part of the Mardi Gras funThe tradition of dressing up in costume, brought in several years ago to the Ohakune Mountain Mardi Gras, continues make for a positive vibe for the event.

Jolly good jellyfish had friends and fans wanting photos.

Pious party pair: “I think I healed someone’s blindness”.

The Police were happy with the event, and made some friends.

Starry, styly AND warm – a great combination for a winter street party.

Lots of lights all round, even away from the main stage.

The many performers for the Mardi Gras enjoyed their time too.

Feedback on the 22nd Ohakune Mountain Mardi Gras has so far been “overwhelmingly positive”, says Audiol-ogy, who took over running the event last year.

Facebook comments were largely positive, with any negative issues mostly around lost property and getting refunds on their electronic payment bands.

Audiology said they will have a debrief later with the Ohakune Events Charitable Trust, but that the initial re-sponses from a couple of the Trustees suggest they are happy with the work done by the Audiology team.

Helping things run more smoothly this year was the addition of another entry gate, and running pre-checks earlier in the day.

“We pre-checked in around 5000 people at Chris-tie Park, which took all the pressure off at the festival gates and with having two entry gates this year the wait times to enter the festival were incredibly quick,” said Audiology.

The event was sold out, but organisers said that, when planning events, they allow for a 10% no show, “which is what we saw”.

“We haven’t got the official report yet but the number that (were) denied at the gate appears to have reduced from previous years.”

The team had promised a bigger effort on the clean-up after the event.

“We had a team of staff and contractors starting the clean up at midnight and work through the night to get the town clean.

“By midday on Sunday the whole town was clear of rubbish and all the infrastructure like stages and mar-quees had gone.

“It was important to us that the impact of having this event was not felt by the local residents – we want to keep building the Mardi Gras brand and know that their support is critical to the on-going success of the festival.”

Cash for Whangaehu clean-up

Chanavae Ruki-Fisher from Raetihi School helps with planting for the Makotuku Walkway improvements.

Money is available for community project grants that would improve the water quality of the Whangaehu Catchment, with appli-cations to Horizons Regional Council now open.

The grants programme aims to assist non-profit organisations such as commu-nity groups, schools, catchment care groups and iwi/hapu with projects that will help increase engagement with Whangaehu wa-terways and its tributaries to improve water quality in the catchment.

The catchment includes several rivers and streams such as the Mangawhero and the Mākōtuku.

Horizons Ruapehu councillor and chair of Ngā Wai Ora o te Whangaehu Govern-ance Group Bruce Rollinson, says this is the second year Council has been able to target community grants specifically for the Whangaehu Catchment.

“This is as a result of a successful applica-tion in 2017 to the Ministry for the Environ-ment’s Freshwater Improvement Fund and co-funding from Horizons,” he says.

“We know there are some fantastic ideas out there that may need a bit of help to get off the ground or grow.

“If you or someone you know has a pro-ject in mind please get in touch with Hori-zons’ freshwater team,” says Mr Rollinson.

Horizons freshwater and partnerships manager Logan Brown says eligibility in-formation and application forms are now available on Horizons grants and sponsor-ship page at www.horizons.govt.nz.

“We’re really pleased to be able have funding available for community groups in the catchment, as their projects complement the work council and other groups have un-derway in the area.

“Collectively our efforts are contributing to improvements in water quality,” he says.

“The local community has the opportunity to speed up these interventions and be a part of positive change.”

“One of the successful projects from last year’s funding round was with the Raetihi Promotions Charitable Trust. Their project is a multi-year one focussing of the im-provement of the Mākōtuku Walkway, and has truly been led by the local community.

“In year one, the Trust have been able to hold a community planting day, clear away pest plants and tidy the surrounding areas.”

Another project to receive funds last year

was the Friends of the Mangawhero Walk-way, who took on a pilot project to remove willows alongside the Mangawhero River through Ohakune. They aim to remove wil-lows and replant with native shrubs and trees, to improve the quality of water drain-ing into the river from small streams that run through the town.

Another long-term aspect of the project is to create a ‘bird corridor’ through Ohakune, linking pockets of existing beech trees.

Mr Brown says applications will be as-sessed based on environmental benefits, fea-sibility, community involvement and long-term benefits to the catchment. There is also likely to be a strong preference towards ‘on the ground’ work.

“In addition to funding, the grants pro-vide an opportunity for groups to tap into the support and technical advice available at Horizons. We can’t wait to see what ideas are brought to the table through this new funding round.”

Applications for the Whangaehu Catch-ment community grants close 4pm Monday 9 August 2019. The amount granted depends on the merits of the applications and there is a total funding pool of $33,000.

Record entries for the art awards

A flood of entries in the last days before close-off has taken the Waimarino Art Awards to a record number for the exhibition that opens next week.

Just days out from the cut-off, the organisers had only around 30 entries, but a late rush saw this number climb to over 280. The previous record was around 270, reports convenor Paula Charlton.

“We were absolutely flooded – there’s entries from all over, from Kataia to Nelson.”

Photographic entries are up, with 75 entered.A team of volunteers chipped in to unpack the

works and are now working on curating the works and planning the exhibition.

“It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle putting it all together,” said Paula.

She said most of the 3D entries are smaller this year, which means they can all be displayed in the Royal Theatre.

With some really large pieces entered this year, they are experimenting with using easels for displaying them.

Judges this year will be Richard Ponder from Eastbourne in Lower Hutt and John Fitzgerald, a photographer from Hamilton.

Paula Charlton said they have over 40 sponsors this year covering all category prizes.

Sharing building opportunities

Year 11 Students interested in a career in the building industry have been given an excellent opportunity to work with Steve Bishop of On-Site builders on a weekly basis, says College principal Kim Basse.

The students are engaged in a pre-gateway programme, which is part of their Level 1 Technology course, so as well as gaining credits for NCEA they are preparing themselves to be better equipped for a building gateway programme in Year 12.

Steve is able to give them a real world perspective on the Industry and hopefully will be identifying the potential apprentices of the future.

The school thanks Steve for his assistance with this initiative, said Mrs Basse, who added that they are currently looking to set up similar initiatives with other industries.Coffee essentials

Employers who want to employ a Ruapehu College student to make coffee for their café or organisation at the weekend or during school holidays, “then you can now take your pick”, says Mrs Basse.

A group of senior students completed a two-day training course where they not only learned about various types of coffee but they were also instructed on how to correctly make and serve these in a commercial environment.

The course was run by David and Lianne from Industry Training Solutions based in Palmerston North.

During the course, they were taught how to use commercial coffee machines as they perfected their skills in preparing and presenting espresso, pressed and filtered coffees.

The college has used this training company on many previous occasions over the years and this course is definitely one of the students’ favourites. Sport

Rugby: Ruapehu’s rugby boys played

Cullinane and lost 34-22. It was a better second half for the boys. The next two games are on Wednesday after school at Ruapehu College.

The rugby girls played two games last week and, despite losing both, they continue to enjoy the experience.

Netball girls lost to Collegiate 26-14 against fierce competition.

Mountain biking:

Cameron Artz entered the North Island Secondary School Mountain biking event and was placed 8th overall.

Taekwondo: Abilene and Ellen Thomas were awarded a certificate for the 2nd grade Red 2 from the Taekwondo competition they went to during the weekend. Ellen brought back the piece of wood she broke in two… barefoot.

Pony club newsOnce again the Waima-

rino Pony Club season has ended with a prize giving and fun afternoon, with bal-loon games this year, at the Snowy Waters Lodge in Raetihi.

Trophy winners were: attendance, junior Melody Richfield; intermediate Margie McCoubrie; senior Brooke Flower. Gear and turnout, jnr Molly Booth, int Jorja Richfield; snr Brooke Flower. Most improved rider, jnr Melody Richfield; int Margie McCoubrie; snr Aylish Jordan. Horseman-ship, Brooke Flower. Most conscientious, Nash Jordan.

All coaches were pre-sented with a printed book-let with a photographic re-cord of all riders in the past season.

The Waimarino AGM was very well attended and resulted in a few changes

of officers. District com-missioner Robyn Hodder thanked all the coaches and secretary, riders and par-ents for a successful year. Chief coach Joanna Jordan also thanked everyone and mentioned the very success-ful camp in January and the Zone Games in April.

As reported earlier, Brooke Flower gained her ‘C’ Certificate and com-pleted the Gold level Junior Equine Skills Certificate and Nash Jordan won a place in the Inter-Pacific Team to compete in China in July.

Robyn stepped down as district commissioner after many years but remains as a helper to Vanessa Murphy who was welcomed to the position. Secretary Nicky Williams, treasurer Angela McCoubrie, chief coach Joanna Jordan and assistant Kelly Godfrey were also

confirmed. Delegates to the annual

conference in Wellington in July, are Angela McCoubrie and Vanessa Murphy and the publicity officer is Evelyn Cooper.

The evening highlight was presenting Robyn with life membership to the Club for her many years and dedi-cated service to the Club.

Kelly Godfrey attended the nationally organised coaches clinic in Taupo on Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Subscriptions for next year are: children $75 and adults $40.

A week later it was the King Country Area AGM and Robyn Hodder stood down as president after 13 years and was presented with a thank-you gift basket from the area.

Robyn, in turn, presented Nicky with a gift in appreci-ation of all the support Nicky gave her during this time.

Reports were received from both Taumarunui and Waimarino outlining the year’s activities. Special mention was made of the Quality Presentations Zone 2 Games hosted in Tau-marunui, where the biggest number of competing teams participated over recent years.

These games are rotated around the King Country, Waikato and Bay of Plenty Areas. Feedback afterwards was also very positive and all helpers were sincerely thanked for all their work.

Joanna Jordan was elected as the new president and Nicky Williams remains sec-retary/treasurer and is also the delegate to the NZPCA for the annual conference in late July. Subscriptions to the area from Club members will be $15.

Dillon Turner of the Tau-marunui Club was awarded the Singapore Rosette for a keen Pony Club member who was at least 13 years of age in the previous August, and has not received higher honours.

Pony Club has a rest now, apart from planning meet-ings with riding starting on 5 October on the Waimarino A&P Showgrounds with a combined rally for both Clubs. In the afternoon the annual quiz between the two clubs will take place.

Balloon games were a big part of the pony club prize giving.

WEARE.Community support for the 2018/28 Long Term Plan work programme is an important signal that Ruapehu is thinking strategically as a united district, working towards a common vision, willing and able to work with regional partners, sector interests, iwi and government to deliver the future we want for ourselves.

If you feel you can make a positive contribution toward this journey why not consider standing for Council or the Waimarino-Waiouru or National Park Community Board in this year’s local body elections.
