Kahu Vincent is making progress on the road to recovery.

The Wanaka father of two has been transferred from Dunedin Hospital to the ISIS Centre at Wakari Hospital, following the May 9 assault.

The ISIS Centre is a rehabilitation centre, indicating that Kahu’s health is improving, after being in a serious condition for almost a month in Dunedin Hospital.

Wanaka’s fundraising efforts for Kahu and his family continue, with the Hawea Golf Club raising $7000 from an event held last weekend.

On his father’s Facebook page, Hemi Vincent said he showed Kahu the newspaper article on the golf tournament.

“He stared at it for a long time and finished with a half smile. I know he wished he was there with you guys. He is making amazing leaps and bounds to recovery.

“It won’t be long he will be back out at Hawea golf course saying what was the fuss about? Let’s play golf.”

Mr Vincent said “on behalf of the family I’d like to thank you and all involved for the money raised, but more important the love and heartfelt caring behind the event.”

The two men charged with attempting to murder Kahu were in the Christchurch High Court via video link from Invercargill on Tuesday morning (June 9).

Fairfax reported the 39-year-old accused was remanded in custody until August 11, while the 34-year-old was remanded in custody until June 11, when his bail application will be heard.

Both men were also granted continued interim name suppression until July 2.

Knitsy is back... Knitsy has shown up again this Winter and now even has a Facebook page set up for people to follow her every move.However we are not sure the page belongs to the ‘original’ Knitsy as it says she is a 24-year-old female, born in April 1991. It is understood that the first Knitsy was older than this.

For those who are not familiar with Knitsy, she is a guerrilla, graffiti knitter who has ‘yarn bombed’ the town every winter since 2011.The anonymous knitter’s works have included cupcakes, breasts, fake dog droppings, tree pom poms, scarves for downpipes, and even handrail warmers.Wanaka’s ‘Stitch and Bitch’ knitting circle certainly know something

about her identity, and hinted it was not necessarily the work of ‘a’ person, but more likely a few.This was backed up by a former Wanaka Sun journalist, who claims to have met the original Knitsy, and said her creations were a real work of art.She believes Knitsy has retired and possibly has some ‘followers’ who are knitting in her honour.

Construction of Wanaka’s new $3 million fire station is underway, but the new facility won’t have a siren on site.

Because it is being built in a residential area – on Ballantyne Rd beside the police station, the New Zealand Fire Service needs to look for another location for the siren.

Property manager (region 5) Stephen Hill said it was used in addtion to the paging system “but a siren is a means of telling everyone there is something going on,” he said.

He said the fire service is aware

there has been controversy over the years about the location of the existing siren, and at night they try to limit the “nuisance factor.”

The new fire station has been 10 years in the making, and is being funded by the New Zealand Fire Service Commission.

Mr Hill said this was the first new fire station south of the Waitaki in 16 years.

“The old one is not in an ideal place. The carpark is crowded, and the station is not at the same level of construction that we require in 2015.”

The new station would be designed to operate at ‘post-disaster’ strength, which is

higher than standard houses and commercial property – and will be constructed with steel portals.

Breens Construction won the building contract and this time next year it is hoped the 36 volunteer fire fighters will be able to use it.

The three-bay station will be set back into the hill, between the LandSAR building and the new police station, as a ‘campus-style’ hub for Wanaka’s emergency services.

It will house the station’s two appliances and fire rescue van, and will also provide more training space for volunteers.

Long-time Wanaka resident Chris Fluit passed away on May 25, just three months shy of his 80th birthday.

He is survived by his wife Nancy, their five children, 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. None of Chris and Nancy’s children moved very far from Wanaka.

“We’re very close,” Nancy said. “The family are our life. The children and grandchildren did everything for the funeral – they made the casket, they did the flowers, the service sheet, the catering, everything.”

Son Dean lives in Wanaka with his wife Dale, and daughter Christine lives in Cromwell with husband Stuart Thian. Daughter Lorraine and husband

Mike King managed the Lake Hawea camping ground for five years, and now live in Omarama, while Son Paul is a carpenter in Dunedin and son Robert is a pilot in Christchurch.

C h r i s w a s b o r n i n t h e Netherlands, and arrived in New Zealand aged 19, in 1955. He had no money and was given ten pounds by the government.

His first job was at the Roxburgh Dam. He then became an apprentice builder in Balclutha and it was there he met Nancy, who was a nurse at the hospital.

They were married for 56 years.“I was a very lucky girl,” said

Nancy. “He was a man who didn’t need anything, and he gave a lot.”

Young Chris sold his car to buy a section in Balclutha and built their first house while they lived in a ten-by-twelve-foot hut on

the section.Later he built some motels for

the Umbers family’s Wanaka site, in their Balclutha backyard. The motels were brought up to Wanaka by truck and are still standing in Brownston Street.

Inspired by Angela Umbers (“She said we would love it here, and we did”), the Fluits moved to Wanaka in 1967.

Faster breath testing is being trialled in the Southern District this month.Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean said the new handheld devices will make the breath-testing process “much faster and more efficient, particularly in rural areas”.Police said the new devices are much like those currently being used, but their software enables a result in seconds.

“The permanent population was only 300 then, though it went up to 35,000 around New Year,” Nancy said. “We’ve seen a lot of change in the time we’ve been here.”

Chris built numerous houses in Wanaka - the first A-frame at Treble Cone, the rugby clubrooms (where his funeral was held), the scout den at Eely Point and, as a member of the Jaycees, the dinosaur slide on the lakefront. He was also secretary of the Boy Scouts Association and a loyal member of the Fire Brigade for 18 years.

Following heart trouble in his late fifties, Chris retired from building. About that time his son Dean bought a woodworking lathe. Chris was inspired and soon bought his own.

“He took to it like a duck to water,” said Nancy. “He was very happy in his workshop so I never asked him to do anything else. He was very talented and his stuff has gone all around the world.”

Chris had a stall at the Sunday Market and was well known for his spinning tops. He

also made bowls, vases, pepper grinders, egg cups and much more. “He used to enter the Wanaka Show and won the woodwork section at least four times.”

Chris didn’t return to the Netherlands for 31 years. This meant he never saw his parents again, but was able to catch up with many of his 10 siblings.

Chris’s funeral was on Friday May 29. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends, and the long-time residents of the Wanaka community.

Wanaka rugby stars in a commercialThe Upper Clutha Rugby Club will star in a Land Rover commercial promoting the World Cup.

Wanaka is the only town in New Zealand to feature in the British-made doco, with filming taking place last week during training, and in snow.

Club president Brendan Quirke said one team from each country represented at the Rugby World Cup was chosen for the commercial, and Upper Clutha was the lucky pick within New Zealand.

In 2010 the club won ‘Best Iconic Rugby Field in the South Island’ after the secretary snapped a photo for a competition in the lead up to the last Rugby World Cup.

Brendan said winning that competition obviously helped, “and we embodied the heart and soul of New Zealand club rugby,” he said.

Some of the filming also took place up on Hillend Station and they ‘mocked’ up a game of rugby in the snow.

Having a commissioner appointed to the Southern District Health Board (DHB) shouldn’t hold up any negotiations with Dunstan Hospital over its funding cuts.

Central Otago Health Services Limited (COHSL) chairman Russell McGeorge said the company had been talking more with the DHB, “and we’re getting close,” to an outcome.

The DHB wants to cut $1 million from Dunstan Hospital’s budget, but since the public meetings in Alexandra, Cromwell and Wanaka, has been in further discussions with COHSL.

DHB chief executive Carole Heatly told the public meeting in Wanaka on May 26 the board was prepared to undertake further financial analysis with COHSL.

Mr McGeorge said he didn’t think the board being replaced by a commissioner would slow anything down as they would have much bigger issues to focus on than funding rural hospitals.

“We need to have some security as to what is happening,” he said, particularly as it is getting close to the start of the next financial year (July 1).

If the health minister appoints a commissioner, they would have the powers and functions of the board, except for procedural aspects relating to meetings.

Meanwhile the ‘Save Services at Dunstan Hospital’ campaign managed to get more than 6000 signatures on a petition, which was sent to the Health Minister Dr Jonathan Coleman.

Mr McGeorge said while the appointment of a commissioner had been in the pipeline for a while, the petition and strong public support from the public meetings hadn’t gone unnoticed. “We’ve had enormous support. Obviously the meetings have got the minister’s attention….and I imagine he took notice of the petition,” he said.

The negotiations with the DHB regarding Dunstan Hospital had required a lot of “compromise” on both sides, but all should be revealed in the next few weeks.

“It’s going to be a tough year,” Mr McGeorge said.

Health Board woes won’t stop talksHOSPITAL FACTSMay 2010 – Otago and Southland district health boards merge to form Southern District Health Board

September 2014 – The board abandons a plan to upgrade Lakes District Hospital because of its financial position

April 2015 – Health Minister Dr Jonathan Coleman denies claims in the Otago Daily Times he is considering installing a commissioner, after a leaked report forecasts a $42 million deficit for 2015-16.

May 2015 – Proposed cuts to community-based services, including rural hospitals. Public meetings in Alexandra, Cromwell and Wanaka attract 1700 people, in the ‘Save Services at Dunstan Hospital’ campaign.

June 2105 – Dr Jonathan Coleman proposes to appoint a commissioner, and gives the SDHB until the end of the week to respond.

Not one to rest on his laurels, NZ Mountain Film Festival director Mark Sedon is launching a new initiative this year.

“We’re looking at developing a mountain book festival so we’re testing the idea,” Mark said. With Rippon Hall provided for free, along with sound equipment from Grenville Craig, festival organisers are able to offer free entry to ‘Words and Wine – A Mountain Reading’ at Rippon Hall, on Saturday July 4. Five authors will read from their books: Mal Law, Paul Hersey, Derek Grzelewski, Paul Maxim and Lydia Bradey.

Mal Law’s ‘One Step Beyond’ is about his attempt to run seven of New Zealand’s Great Walks in seven days. Paul Hersey’s ‘Our Mountains’ explores relationships Kiwis have with mountains, Derek Grzelewski’s ‘The Smallest Continent’ recounts his adventures through New Zealand landscapes, Paul Maxim’s ‘Book of Revelations’ is about legendary climber Bill Denz, and Lydia Bradey’s book written with author Laurence Fearnley ‘Going up is Easy’ is hot off the press.

Rippon will be the location of a second free session on Sunday, July 5, called ‘Old Fashioned Storytelling’. Local adventurer Whitney Thurlow will host mountaineers simply telling stories - without any powerpoints, pictures or other props. Storytellers will include Guy Cotter, Allan Uren and Chuck Berry.

“What’s not to love about some old -style storytelling at dusk, with the fire going, overlooking Lake Wanaka from

the Rippon Hall?” asks the publicity.Another feature new to this year’s

festival is a Mountain Art Walk. Photographs will be exhibited around town and there will be free guided tours from the Lake Wanaka Centre on both Saturday and Sunday (July 4 and 5). There will also be maps available for those wanting to self-guide.

All that, on top of the actual films. There will be 71 films screened over five days in Wanaka (July 3-7), one in Cromwell (July 8) and three in Queenstown (July 9-11).

The films were chosen from hundreds of entries.

“The quality and breadth of films is amazing and we are so grateful for the fantastic film makers from around the globe and home-grown Kiwis who have contributed to our programme,” Mark said. Films on show come from Iran, Brazil, Canada, Australia, France, Russia, Nepal and more. Fifteen are made in New Zealand.

“Each year the quality of the films improves, the imagination of the adventurers astounds us, and the creativity and cinematography presented by the filmmakers is incredible,” Mark said. The festival is run by a non-profit charitable trust.

Pictured are Lake Hawea wingsuiter Dave Waldren and a still from his film ‘Two Minute Man’ which won this year’s Best NZ Made Film award. It was made with a GoPro camera.

On Friday ten children from Wanaka Preschool joined Te Kakano Aotearoa Trust to plant five native plants for International Arbor Day.

Arbor Day exists to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees. Celebrated in more than 100 countries, the day originated in Nebraska in 1972.

Te Kakano Aotearoa Trust generously donated the plants, which were planted along the Waterfall Creek track. It is a community-based native plant nursery which specialises in propagation of plants from the local region for native restoration projects.

Te Kakano holds nursery sessions throughout the year, and in winter the sessions are held Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 1pm-4pm. Held at the trust’s nursery, these sessions teach cultivation

techniques. Coffee, tea and snacks are provided for all volunteers.

Te Kakano also holds planting projects, and is currently completing the last part of a major seven-stage project with almost 6500 plants along Roy’s Bay West to create a native restoration corridor.

R a e w y n C a l h a e m , t r u s t administrator, said it was great to have the kids from Wanaka Preschool return for planting for the second year in a row.

“We planted five plants with the 10 children and it was lovely to see them take pride in being able to put the plants in the ground” she said. “These sorts of occasions strengthen the engagement of individuals, families, schools, local businesses and community groups building an important (yet all-too-lacking) link of people to the land.”

Hawea Playgroup has already sold a record 32 tables for its annual winter garage sale this Sunday.

The event – which will run from 10am-2pm – is loaded with entertainment for both kids and adults.

There will be a trapeze performance, music from Aspiring Ukuleles, songs from Anna Van Riel’s upcoming kids’ album, a visit from Gigi the French puppet, more music from Robbie McCullogh, Anna Rowley and Jess Curtis, as well as the classic face painting, lolly scramble and giant bubbles for the kids.

The pop-up café will have hot soup and bread, and there will also be coffee and baking.

Funds raised from the event will go towards running expenses and new play resources for the playgroup, which is located in the old post office in Hawea Flat. Following the closure of the post office in 1986, the playgroup purchased the building from Telecom at a very low rate.

And while the playgroup is lucky to own its own building, the repair costs for such an old building can be high. However, through grants and community fundraising the playgroup has recently made some big changes.

Over recent years the building has been painted both inside and out, underfloor insulation installed, a subsiding part of the building has been rebuilt into a fun artspace, maintenance work completed on the roof, an outdoor ‘lean-to’ has been made into an

enclosed space where kid’s clothes and books are sold, and a new skyroof gives the kids a dry place to play in the winter.

“All in all the building is now in great shape,” Hawea Playgroup secretary, Emily Sancha, said.

She hopes the garage sale will be an opportunity for people in the community to have fun while raising money for a good cause.

The playgroup has around 60 families on the roll, and averages 10-30 children at each of its thrice-weekly play sessions.

Families come out from Wanaka and Albert Town to attend the play sessions too, which provides fun for the kids and a chance for parents to socialise and meet new people.

Parents have been very active in the organisation of the garage sale. Some are baking and cooking for the café, some will help out in the kitchen on the day and others will help with things like face painting on the day.

“It’s gained some real momentum” Emily said about the event, which is now in its fifth year.

Head along on Sunday June 14 for a fun day out, or contact the playgroup to book a table at the sale.

The May earthquake centred north of Wanaka, followed by recent flooding in Dunedin, are both timely reminders of the need to be prepared if unforseen disasters occur. Statistics from New Zealand’s 2012 New Zealand General Social Survey showed that the percentage of Otago people who considered they had the basic necessities - emergency food and water supplies for three days and an emergency plan - when compared to the national average of 22 percent, was just 18 percent. Otago Civil Defence Emergency Group Controller Wayne Scott said people who haven’t already taken steps to be prepared for similar events in the future are strongly encouraged to do so now. Scott said he hopes recent events have motivated people to be prepared for potential future disasters.

“We can see how a rain storm can quickly cause damage to property and roads and how a strong earthquake could cause more serious and widespread damage than occurred in the recent quakes in Dunedin and Wanaka, potentially disrupting people’s ability to travel, isolating communities and affecting essential services like telecommunications and power.” Preparing a household or business

emergency plan which should be discussed with family members or work colleagues could greatly reduce stress if a disaster strikes. Family discussion on what to do if an earthquake happened in different circumstances - for instance, during the day when parents are at work and children are at school - would benefit everyone in knowing whether to head home, stay put, or meet at an agreed point. It is recommended that people ensure they have emergency survival items easily accessable and sufficient to last three or more days, as this is critical for helping them to comfortably get through a crisis until help arrives. “People are likely to already have many of the items they will need – torches, a radio, a first aid kit and medications, batteries, food and water, and alternative cooking appliances such as a barbeque. You don’t have to have them packed away in a bag untouched - just check that you have the essential items, can find them easily during a disaster and keep things in working order.” Further information on how to be prepared for an earthquake is available by going to www.getthru.govt.nz/earthquake, and visiting local councils. - Katie Thompson

Time to prepare says Civil Defence

Technology is changing everything and even HEARING is getting SMARTER!Apps that cleverly link to hearing aid devices are becoming the new standard in hearing healthcare delivery. So what is an "app?" "App" is the abbreviated term for "application." It is simply a software programme for a mobile device like a smart phone (iPhone/Android mobile), tablet (iPad) or handheld music player (IPod). Apps for hearing aids perform a variety of functions and allow you to customise the settings of your hearing aid to your particular hobbies, lifestyle, environment, wants and needs. They are designed to make your life easier and to help maximise the benefit of your hearing device. The result is smarter and more vivid hearing. Many hearing aid manufacturers offer smartphone and tablet apps. You simply download them through the "App Store"

on your mobile device. The GN ReSound LiNX is the world's first made for IPhone hearing aid and is loaded with features to make listening and living easy. It connects wirelessly to your phone/tablet without the use of a streamer or intermediary device. Therefore, the hearing aids can act as a type of headset. So instead of plugging in earphones to listen to music, the music is streamed directly into your hearing aids. Similarly, you can have your GPS/TomTom directions played directly into your ears or you can participate in phone conversations completely hands free. Apps are changing and challenging what hearing aids have done traditionally. They are taking hearing and communication in a bold new direction.

There are also APP’s that enable a smartphone to perform like a generic hearing aid, help with tinnitus, and provide captioning.

One company recently introduced a new app to provide relief from the sounds of tinnitus. The Whist app uses sound therapy to help the individual cope with the severity of the noises generated by tinnitus. Whist works by enabling the user to find and create sounds that match the pitch and loudness of the noises. Over time, the goal is to desensitize the individual to the annoyance of tinnitus.

For a demonstration of these APP friendly hearing aids contact NZ Hearing.

With National Volunteer Week coming up (June 21-27) there are several events planned for volunteers – past, present and future – around the district.

Volunteering Central has organised a series of celebrations with guest speakers who will highlight the importance of volunteers.

Chief executive of Winter Games NZ, Arthur Klap (pictured), will be speaking in Queenstown (June 23). In Wanaka it will be the chef de mission with the New Zealand Winter Olympic Team, Peter Wardell (June 24). Both men volunteer with a range of organisations and work with large numbers of volunteers in the sporting arena.

On June 25 Emily Boud – a volunteer with the award winning Stick ‘n’ Stones – will be speaking on youth volunteering in Cromwell and Alexandra.

This year the theme is: “there is a place for you to volunteer”. Anyone interested in volunteering is invited to attend.

“No matter a person’s background, experience or motivation, there will always be a place to volunteer,” Volunteering Central’s senior coordinator Gillian White said.

Currently there are volunteering positions with the following organisations around the district: Winter Games NZ, Te Kakano

Aotearoa, Department of Conservation, Kahu Youth, Community Networks, Elmslie House, Salvation Army family store, St John, Cancer Society, Upper Clutha Senior Citizens Prime Timers and Adaptive Snow Sports.

Roles for volunteers include childcare, Meals on Wheels delivery, office work, gardening, nursery work, tree planting, event management, tutoring, retail assistance, ambulance crew, visiting, health care support and sports assistance.

Volunteering to be celebrated

Southland Education is currently running workshops in Wanaka led by local artists and artisans.

Susie Ruddenklau’s watercolour class (pictured) is already underway at the Wanaka Art Centre.

A class on dressmaking for beginners started on Wednesday and there are still places available in classes coming up including Weaving for Beginners (starting June 15), Felting for Beginners – Scarf (June 20), Felting – Hat or Bag (June26), Creative Stitching (July 4) and Free Style Machine Embroidery (July 25).

“The courses are designed to interest those who would like to start a new hobby or update their skills,” Wanaka-based

course coordinator Heather Kerr said. There will be similar clusters of courses run three times a year, depending on the response to this first series.

“You can influence whether these workshops will be on-going, and what topics are provided, by letting Southland Education know what you would like to learn.”

C u r r e n t c o u r s e t u t o r s a r e a l l members of local groups including the Wanaka Arts Society, Wanaka Creative Fibre and Embroidery groups, Aspiring Quilters and Artful Crafters.

crimesceneCrime Line by Constable Greg Nolet

We have dealt with a number of complaints this week of offensive behaviour, fighting and bullying. The common factor here was too much alcohol. Please monitor the amount of alcohol you are consuming and don’t consume to excess, look after your mates and don’t stand by if you see them acting up.

A breach of bail sees a local man arrested.

We attended a couple of crashes this week. One on the Crown Range where someone had stopped to take a rock off the road after it had burst the vehicle’s tyre. A following car drove around this vehicle and then the next following vehicle crashed into the first. Lesson learnt here. If clearing rocks off the road, please park in a safe place off the roadway.

An unlicensed motorcyclist crashed after his bike’s engine seized. He will now be attending Queenstown Court for driving while suspended.

A car pulling out of a parking space clipped a passing 4wd causing it to roll onto its roof. I was at the crash within a couple of minutes and was pleased to see a great community response, with people helping the drivers, with traffic control and getting the vehicle righted. Thank you for this.

Lastly, we dealt with the recovery of a stolen vehicle that was taken in September last year. Let me take this moment to remind everyone to lock their vehicles and please don’t leave your keys in the ignition.

The ski fields open soon.

If you are travelling up and down the mountain please don’t speed, wear the seatbelts, clear the windscreen and windows before you drive; not as you drive. Put chains on when requested.

And enjoy the snow.

communitynetworksNew life to old treasures“New Life to Old Treasures” garage sale – we thank the New Life Church for organising this as a fundraiser for us.

Many goods were donated and there was such great support from New Life Church because they believe in what CN does... We’d love to hear from other community groups or businesses that would like to partner up with us to support the community.

Farewell to Barbara JungenAfter 11 years as the face of Community

Networks, Barbara has decided to move on to other adventures and leaves us on July 10. She started in this role in 2004 when the office was based in what is now the Cardrona office on Dunmore Street.

The role has changed considerabl with many more health and social service organisations now visiting Wanaka, and an increase in demand for these services

Barbara is one of those people who has an amazing ability to be compassionate, calm and maintain a sense of humour. She meets each person who comes into our office in a warm friendly way, and always goes that extra mile to make sure their needs are met.

We (and I’m sure many other people in the community) will miss her.

We are having a farewell function for Barbara on Thursday July 9, and anyone and everyone is welcome – just please let us know so that we can make sure we have enough nibbles!

Volunteer Awareness WeekThis is from June 17 to 21. We have

an amazing team of volunteers helping us in the front reception, at the School Holiday Club, delivering the Meals on Wheels and helping out in the food bank.

“We offer a sincere thank you to the members of the Wanaka Masonic Lodge and the Graham and Olive West Trust for the donations received. The Masonic Lodge donated funds for the community food bank which will help make the food parcels a lot more robust. The Graham and Olive West Trust funds were for meeting room furniture, activity books for a resiliency building programme in schools and as a contribution towards our operational costs.”

A Wanaka-based man who loves to hunt and fish has been appointed as Fish & Game’s new field officer, based in Cromwell.

Paul van Klink replaces Clare Morris, who resigned in January.

Fish & Game’s mission statement is to “manage, maintain and enhance sports fish and game birds and their habitats in the best long-term interests of present and future generations of anglers and hunters”. The non-profit organisation is funded through fishing and hunting licences and sees itself as “user pays, user says”.

Paul said his role involves fisheries and gamebird population monitoring and management, compliance and law enforcement, and habitat monitoring, particularly in relation to water flows and the effects of instream use.

There will also be a fair amount of advocacy, working to maintain water flows in Central Otago as mining rights expire and are replaced with consented water takes.

As F&G chief executive Niall Watson said, Paul brings a great deal of knowledge and experience in wildlife conservation to the role. After many years working fulltime at the Department of Conservation, Paul set up his own contracting business – NZ Wildlife Solutions (2006) nine years ago, and worked on contract for DOC and other organisations.

“It was mostly bird work – monitoring populations all around the South Island. It was a great job but I was always away from home.”

Now a single man in his forties, Paul was keen to be more home-based, so the F&G

job seemed ideal. Only three weeks into the position he is already busy doing spawning surveys in rivers around the district and monitoring fish numbers in Lake Hayes. He’s also busy getting to know the region, its angling and hunting resources and the leaders of various water users groups.

When he’s not fishing and hunting himself, Paul likes tramping, taking photographs and “tinkering with old Japanese motorbikes”. He’s probably best known in Wanaka as the organiser of the Upper Clutha Scooter Hooter, an annual motorbike rally for machines 50ccs, or less. The next one will be held in September.

New Fish & Game officer for district

Alongside the Central Otago Enviroschools team, Wanaka Wastebusters is running a Bee Corridor Project, inspired by dwindling bee populations in New Zealand and abroad.Starter packs of “Wild Forage – Wildflower Seed Rescue Remedy” have been donated by Environschools Otago to Montessori Children’s House Wanaka and Wanaka Primary School, which can sow 50 square metres of plants. The project aims to raise awareness and encourage positive action to help the bees. By sowing wildflower seeds which will produce bee-friendly plants – bee corridors – the children will help the bees towards a sustainable future.

Schools and the community will identify suitable areas

of land within the school or region for the planting of the seeds. Organiser Simon Williams will also be available to give presentations to schools about bees on request.Additionally, Steve Brown has created a “padlet” of relevant information which teachers can access by googling the project. A competition has been organised in conjunction with the project. Children will be encouraged to sell five-dollar single packs of wildflower seeds, and for every 50 packets the school sells, they will earn another fifty gram bulk pack for planting. All proceeds from the sale of the seeds will go to the National Beekeepers Association.

Adventure Consultants movie night and auction held at Cinema Paradiso last Thursday, raised over $12,000 for Nepal. Organisers Guy Cotter and Suze Kelly were very pleased with the results of the sell-out event. Special thanks went to Cinema Paradiso for the venue, ticket sales and food proceeds from the night, and Leeane Pooley and Matthew Metcalfe from General Film Corporation for the movie Beyond the Edge. The film was a docudrama of Sir Edmond Hillary and Norgay Tensing Sherpa’s ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.

Hundreds of local businesses provided

goods and services for the auction. Proceeds will go to charities which

Adventure Consultants said get the funds to where they are most needed, including the company’s Sherpa Future Fund, the Himalayan Trust, the Helambu Relief Appeal, the Juniper Fund and the dZi Foundation.

Adventure Consultants Base Camp manager Anthea Fisher (pictured) was at Base Camp during the earthquake on April 25, and spoke about the experience at the movie night, as did Guy Cotter who was at camp one on Mount Everest (600MASL) with Suze Kelly and a climbing party when the earthquake struck.

Local mountaineer Lydia Bradey has released a book, Going Up is Easy, co-written with acclaimed writer Laurence Fearnley.

Lydia says she was encouraged for years by former Publishing Director at Penguin Books, Geoff Walker, and many others, to write the story of her incredible life.

Lydia decided to share her story “about the joy of learning and information and growing up”.

Lydia was the first woman to climb Everest without supplementary oxygen (in 1988), and she did it alone.

The first ever ascent without oxygen was by Reinhold Messner in 1978.

L y d i a ’ s c l a i m w a s f o r m a l l y acknowledged later, but Lydia was initially deemed a liar by some members of the mountaineering community and the media – the scandal was known as “Lydiagate” – which she described as “hard to deal with”.

Lydia’s initial foray into mountain climbing was an unlikely one. Raised in a “non-outdoorsy” family, it was a

mountaincraft course Lydia took at the age of 14 which sparked her passion. “I’d never even been near a pack before that,” said Lydia. “It was a total eye-opener.”

She was hooked. While sti l l a teen, Lydia climbed Aoraki/Mount Cook, a climb she still loves. “It’s one of the best mountains i n N e w Z e a l a n d t o c l i m b . ” Since then, Lydia’s love of the mountains has taken her around the world. But she stresses her book is not just about mountaineering, it’s a story of her own personal development too.

“What I have learnt is that you are always growing up and learning,” she said.

The book took about a year and a half to complete, and was based on 50 hours of interviews.

Lydia said it was too hard to fit everything she has done into the book, which focuses on certain events and her own emotional journey.

Going Up is Easy is available in bookshops.

Cardrona Alpine Resort is gearing up for the North Face Freeski Open of New Zealand.

Dates have been announced for this years’ competition, with park and pipe events kicking off at Cardrona from August 6-10.

The Remarkables will host the Big Mountain event from September 1-6.

The North Face Freeski Open of NZ was the first event to hold slopestyle, halfpipe and big mountain competitions in one. Celebrating its 11th birthday this year, the event formula remains the same, combining top quality competition with a fun, social atmosphere.

The Freeski Open gives competitors the opportunity to rack up AFP and Freeride World Qualifier Tour rankings

and qualifying points. Cardrona Alpine Resort’s world-class

halfpipe and slopestyle courses are a familiar proving ground for the elite of the freeski world. In 2015 competitors will be able to test themselves at two top-level events with The Freeski Open park and pipe events taking place just ahead of the Winter Games.

Sam Smoothy and Charlie Lyons have used strong results at The Freeski Open to help secure spots on the Freeride World Tour while up-and-coming skier Hank Bilous earned himself an invition to the Junior Freeride World Tour off the back of his second place finish at the 2014 Freeski Open.

why they should be chosen, by 5pm on Tuesday (June 16). The winner will be selected by event organisers and the Wanaka Sun.

The Mount Aspiring College 1st XV travelled to Oamaru to play St Kevin’s College in round seven of the premier Otago 1st XV competition.

Played in perfect conditions, the MAC team dominated the early exchanges, but a combination of poor defence and superior size culminated in three converted tries to the home team within the first 20 minutes.

The MAC team responded with three well-taken tries of their own to Blair Underwood, Cameron Arnerich and Edward Trombik. Unfortunately that was the last of the scoring from the MAC team, missing out on the important four-try bonus point.

The St Kevin’s side boasted a 360-kg

front row which the MAC boys found difficult to contain. Hank Bilous at hooker was up against a player exactly twice his weight.

With the ball in hand, the MAC backs looked sharp and were always threatening. Tim Weir cleared the ball efficiently from halfback and Ellis Meyer –Budge again showed his class.

Teegan Vink was courageous in the forwards and was well supported by Sam Richards and Ben Weatherby when he came off the bench.

The St Kevins side shutdown the MAC team’s attack throughout the second half and ran out deserved winners at 45-15.

This year the May Madness fun run includes an event for dogs on a leash. The Canine Classic will be part of the second annual day of events for walkers and runners of all abilities. Organised by Aspiring Athletics and Peak Endurance, the event is being held on Sunday (June 14) starting at 9am (registrations from 8.30am).

One of the organisers, Denise Prince, said entrants can choose to do one, two or four laps of Lismore Park and there

are different categories for children (under 13’s and under 16’s), adults and people with dogs.

Intended as a fun social day out the event includes home baking at the finish line and spot prizes. Entry costs $5 or $10 for a family.

Pictured are Janet Young and Bronwyn Coers, with dogs Nim and Charlie, having a practise warm-up at Lismore Park.

Time is running out to nominate an outstanding sport volunteer in your community.

Sport Central is calling for nominations for volunteers in sport from the Central Otago community. The nominees will be officially thanked at a function later this month.

Sport Central co-ordinator Bill Godsall said the function was an opportunity for sports clubs, event organisers and schools to nominate the volunteers who helped them out during the year.

“The volunteers can take any shape – they could be parents who drive kids to weekly sports games, or the parents who wash the rugby shirts or the volunteers who mark out the rugby field every week,” said Mr Godsall.

Mr Godsall said it was hugely important the volunteers were recognised and thanked, as without them, some sports probably wouldn’t be played in the region or it would be hugely expensive to take part in them.

Nominations close tomorrow (JUNE 12) and can be made at www.sportotago.co.nz

The nominees will be contacted and invited

to a function being held in the meeting room at the Cromwell Swim Centre on Tuesday, June 23, at 6.30pm, where their efforts will be officially recognised.

Two prizes of $500 worth of sports gear will also be given away.

Sport Central co-ordinator Bill Godsall is urging people to nominate volunteers in sport from the Central Otago community.

When it comes to keeping your house warm for winter, the team at Carpet Court have got it covered - well your floor anyway.

The choice in carpets is endless as there are so many different products on the market.

Wool is still popular, but so is solution-dyed nylon, and for the softest carpet, how about try the ‘Rhino’ SmartStrand carpet range.

Carpet Court exclusively stocks this very popular product, which has a 25-year warranty, and is stain and fade resistant.

But you also can’t beat a natural wool carpet, and its unique ‘crimp’ structure means it will always bounce back, and won’t matt or flatten.

And because of its natural fibre, wool carpet is very low in toxins and odours, and actually works as a filter, helping to clean the atmosphere.

As well as wool, carpets can be made from a wide range of products including corn, plastic bottles, polyester and polypropylene.

Consultant Sharlene Campbell said despite all the choices on the market, a large percentage of carpet sales were still traditional wool, “as we’re a big local farming community.”

But families nowadays are also harder living than past generations, and carpets get a lot more wear and tear, “so houses need to be more robust,” she said.

Carpets are being made with larger piles and are denser, but because of the increased quality of products, people were starting to branch out with their colour choices, she said.

Instead of the ‘safer’ darker colours, customers are starting to choose lighter colours, because many offer that stain-resistant quality.

“Over the past five years the flooring industry has changed so much,” Sharlene said.

Come in and see the team at Carpet Court. They also specialise in tiles, timber flooring, laminates and vinyl planking.

So the new Wanaka Fire Station will be built without a siren on site. Don’t worry - there is one coming, but the location has yet to be decided.The New Zealand Fire Service is mindful of not putting a siren in a residential area, and also because the actual coverage won’t be that good on Ballantyne Rd, with the hills behind it.The Wanaka Volunteer Fire Brigade has been frustrated over the years when people have complained about the siren, particularly at night.In response it has a ‘no siren after 9pm and before 7am’ policy unless too few volunteers have responded to their pagers.The fire service has to go through another set of hoops including resource consent for the new siren, so it will be interesting to see where exactly it ends up.Whether we love it or hate it, the fire siren plays an important part in letting our town know there is something going on.

AFTER 9 MNTHS OF JOB SEARCHING IN THIS TOWN, I’VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT’S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT’S WHO YOU KNOW!! COME ON EMPLOYERS, GIVE US A CHANCE TOO!!

U CAN AVOID SECOND HAND SMOKE BUT U CAN’T AVOID TONS OF 1080 DROPPED FROM A HELICOPTER

BAN 1080

1080 drop “1080-contaminated dust can be present for at least 5 days after aerial bait drops and travel at least 1km from the drop zone, toxin-laden carcasses enter waterways and can linger indefinitely in cool and dry conditions, and sub-lethal effects of 1080 include birth defects, organ damage and reproductive abnormalities.

Water testing is done at parts per billion in NZ and it is clear from overseas observed health effects, that our endocrine system is damaged at levels of parts per trillion.

Given dust levels and water levels are present days after its application, the spurious reasons for it use and adverse consequences to human health, the huge danger posed not only to our wild places but to our people and their pets and farmers and livestock, it is time to say absolutely no to the poisoners, go away.

1080 means no gain, only awful pain and from a friend who lost his dog to unsigned 1080 poison, “even though my dog was sedated at the vets, it was the most harrowing time of my life, I had to ask them to put him down”.

Don’t risk your families, Ban 1080 poison.”

Winter Games NZ 2015 has called for more than 500 volunteers to help run this August’s event

The hunt is on for more than 500 volunteers for this year’s Winter Games NZ.The world-class event attracts elite winter sports athletes including m u l t i p l e W i n t e r O l y m p i c a n d Paralympic medallists and world champions in freestyle skiing, snowboarding, alpine skiing and curling.V o l u n t e e r s M a n a g e r H e a t h e r McClintock said volunteers are needed from August 18-31 and registrations are now open online.Roles range from working at mountain events at Coronet Peak, Cardrona Alpine Resort and Snow Farm NZ to helping out at the curling competition in Naseby or assisting the administration and media teams.

“There are also many jobs related to the running of the downtown festival programme in both Queenstown and Wanaka,” said Heather.Wanaka woman Prue Kane, who has volunteered twice for Winter Games NZ, said it was an outstanding event to be part of.“The organisers are very inclusive and go out of their way to create a strong sense of community amongst everyone involved with the running of the event. They certainly appreciate the long hours many volunteers are required to put into the successful outcome of the Games, and people are well recognised for their efforts,” Prue said.To register as a volunteer visit www.wintergamesnz.kiwi/volunteers
