Park vs parking debate Tim Brewster Described by one submitter as “a divisive, sad waste of time and goodwill,” the QLDC hearings on a proposal for more car parks on Pembroke Park last Friday brought up a number of issues that have been debated since 1995.

The majority of 86 submissions were opposed to the introduction of 94 “nose-in” angle parks on Brownston Street and another 60 parallel parks and six bus parks on McDougall Street.

“This lack of planning and collection of development levies from developers for parking has turned Wanaka into a boom town for commercial development,” Noel Williams said in his submission to commissioners Leigh Overton, Jude Battson and Dick Kane.

Noel, who along with a number of other submitters was part of the original Friends of Pembroke formed in 1995, produced excerpts from the original Pembroke Park management plan which in part said: “only parking

that is directly related to the recreation activity can be located on the reserve unless part of the land is re-designated under the Public Works Act and reclassified under the Reserves Act 1977.”

“The present use of the Dungarvon Street car park is illegal as anyone can park there, and the proposed new

proposed new parking will add to the park’s ability for people to enjoy it without affecting it adversely.

“We’re more on the same page than not,” Jude said of the council relationship with Friends of Pembroke Park. At the hearing she responded to a comment that council was constantly taking from Pembroke Park without

If council can’t honour its obligations with the existing Dungarvon Street car parks, those parks should be ripped up and returned to grass,” Noel said in his submission.

Both Leigh and Jude were on the community board in 2000 and both said they approved of the Dungarvon Street car park then. They said the

giving anything back by saying the area is much more user-friendly for sports and families.

“Since the management plan [2007] we’ve installed irrigation as it was unusable during summer, plantings, and a post-and-chain fence.”

Jude said there had also been significant investment in lakefront parking in response to comments

about development levies not being used for parks.

Leigh said parking arrangements around Pembroke Park when there is a lot of sport during the weekend “just makes a mess”. He said Wanaka did not have a year-round parking problem but at peak periods such as events and big sport’s weekends, the park needed suitable sealed parking for access to the area.

Comments by some of the submitters that Leigh and Jude should not be acting as commissioners on an issue they had voted on in 2000 were not justified, Leigh said.

“I don’t believe they are strictly related. Also, often when you vote on a proposal you are voting for it to continue the process for more people to discuss it. It’s not a fait accompli.”

The Wanaka Community Board will meet on July 9 to consider the commissioners’ report. Depending on the recommendations made the board can either make a final decision or submit their decision to a full council meeting.

Transient faces charges A 53-year-old transient, who had moved to Wanaka from Queenstown just three weeks ago, has been arrested for allegedly possessing images of child pornography on a computer.

Due to the nature of the alleged offending police could not reveal his name or other details of the arrest as it could jeopardise the case and potentially affect victims, Queenstown detective Lisa Watt said.

The man had been known to police in Queenstown due to his “alternative” appearance and transient lifestyle. He had recently started living in Wanaka and after staying in a backpackers had moved into a residence in the town with assistance from social agencies just prior to his arrest on June 6, Lisa said.

He is currently facing 22 individual charges for possession of the images on his computer which he had left in Queenstown and which came into the possession of a person who alerted police.

He was remanded in custody after his arrest and will appear in the Queenstown District Court on June 17.

Clutha irrigation consent Caroline Harker Hawea Flat dairy farms Devon Dairy Farms and Lagoon Valley Dairies have consent to take nearly seven million cubic metres of water from the Clutha River for irrigation every year for the next 25 years. They are not allowed to take water between May and August or when river flows are particularly low.

The water-take permit was issued by the Otago Regional Council and expires in October 2037.

Protect Our Water spokesperson Kim Fogelberg and Hawea Community Association chair Rachel Brown are not happy about the project.

“In many cases throughout the country, groundwater near intensive dairy farms has ended up with elevated nitrate levels,’ Kim said. “The Hawea aquifer purges itself via springs along the edges of the Clutha River terraces. It is important to consider the possibility of increased nitrate levels in the groundwater which will over time end up at those springs. Good bye Central Otago hello Waikato.”

“Whose water is it anyway, and how much have we got?” Rachel Brown said. “One day we will be brought to the abrupt realisation that our water is not an unlimited resource.”

The dairy farms have a QLDC resource consent to construct a pump station on the northern side of the river about half-way between the Red Bridge and the Albert Town bridge.

This site is about 2km upstream from a site they had originally proposed for a diesel pump. The new consent was for an electric pump, complete with an inlet structure in the riverbank and a 55m pipeline to the pump station (all underground). Before construction begins plans must be submitted to the council’s landscape architect to ensure they ‘maintain visual amenity and quality of the environment’.

The water will be stored in irrigation ponds and used to irrigate approximately 1177ha of land, mainly with centre pivots.

The ORC consent has unconditional approval from Otago Fish and Game, the Department of Conservation and Land Information New Zealand; and conditional approval from Kai Tahu ki Otago Limited (KTkO) and Contact Energy.

KTkO objected to the original request for a 35-year permit (which was changed to 25 years), and Contact objected to the farmers wanting to take nearly 15 million cumecs of water every year (this was changed to seven million).

Pub fire not suspicious

Tim Brewster The Wanaka Fire Brigade could be first in line for a free beer when the pumps re-open at Fitzpatrick’s Irish Bar following Sunday night’s fire.

“They’re awesome: such an asset to the town.

It was pretty full-on and scary and they were here in minutes,” business co-owner Brendan Quirke said.

PAGE 2

A deep-fryer is believed to have caught fire with staff unable to extinguish it with a fire blanket and a fire extinguisher.

An estimated 15 volunteers took more than an hour to contain the fire.

Brendan said apart from the mess and smoke damage there was almost no structural damage.

“It’ll still be a matter of months [before the pub is re-opened] but it will

mainly be re-lining and fitting new appliances.”

Fire Service southern region fire safety officer, Stuart Ide, is investigating the fire. He said it was not suspicious and had been classified as an accidental fire caused by either a faulty appliance or operator error.

“The ke y me s s a ge is keep looking when cooking and ensure you know how to operate fire extinguishers,” he said.

Lessons on dog protocol The “new way” to greet dogs was presented to Wanaka Primary School students last week by Aspiring Avalanche Dogs as part of its education programme.

The organisation provided information on basic avalanche awareness, snow users’ responsibility code and responsible dog ownership, presenter Matt Gunn (pictured) said.

Using his three-year-old collie-cross Rocket, Matt let students try the correct way to approach a dog as well as explaining dog body language and answering questions about dog ownership.

The correct approach is to stand side-on to the dog, not make direct eye contact and ask the owner for permission to pet the dog. When the dog approaches extend your hand palm down so it can sniff it. Once accepted it is recommended to pat the dog on the chest or side of the shoulder but not on the top of the head, Matt said.

Network upgrade PHOTO: WANAKA SUN

Vodafone is upgrading its network in several areas around the country including Wanaka. “You’ll have better coverage and faster 3G speeds,” its website claims.

The network was

overloaded in the area at Easter and during other public holidays leaving many locals and visitors disgruntled when their text messages were not sent and/or never arrived.

Other places

where Vodafone is promising to upgrade cell sites ‘very soon’ include Queenstown, the Remarkables Shopping Centre and various suburbs of Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.

Winter planting Many hands made light work at last Sunday’s Te Kakano planting in front of Edgewater for stage five of the Roy’s Bay West project. Organisers reported 35 adults, 11 children and several happy canines spent the morning digging, planting, mulching, watering and playing by the lakeshore. One of the youngest volunteers, Milo Adams, helped carry water alongside Te Kakano trustee, Nick Mills.

The planting was held in conjunction with World Environment/Arbor Day last week.

A change in standards Mayor Vanessa van Uden agreed to put back into the annual plan a sentence regarding library standards, which was not in the draft, according to Protect Our Library spokesperson Nicola Martinovich. “She agreed to that during the hearings on May 30,” Nicola said. “She said it was not deliberately dropped and they would put it back in.”

The line states: “The council considers libraries to be an essential part of the community’s resource, providing high quality library services to a national standard.”

Nicola said Vanessa also agreed to change ‘a national standard’ to ‘the New Zealand standard’.

The Protect Our Library group believes proposed changes to the Wanaka Library would put its services below the agreed standard.

Library association proposed Caroline Harker A group of supporters is looking into setting up a Wanaka library association. It has been receiving advice from the Dunedin Public

Library Association.

The Dunedin group was formed in 1890 and currently has 300 members who support and promote the Dunedin libraries network. This includes lobbying council and

other organisations on behalf of the libraries, encouraging greater use of the libraries by the public and h elping to prov id e extra facilities for library users.

Kate Bariletti

is working on the constitution of the proposed Wanaka association. She said they hope to launch the association during the library’s tenth birthday celebrations in early July.

Food Bill wording changed According to the government’s food safety website a Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) has been developed to allay the concerns expressed by communities around New Zealand after the first reading of the proposed new Food Bill.

The SOP will clarify that traditional fundraising activities such as sausage sizzles and school fairs “are not regulated other than the requirement to ensure food is safe and suitable”. It will also clarify that “non-commercial exchanges of food between family and friends can take place”, and that food can be provided as part of farm workers’ accommodation package. The wording will be changed to “explicitly exclude seeds for propagation from the scope of the Bill”.

Time to play Caroline Harker PHOTO: WANAKA SUN

When Thomas Wilkinson of Clyde built the Hawea Flat Post Office in 1912 it probably never occurred to him that a century later it would house a thriving playgroup.

But that is exactly what happened. The post office closed after ten years of operation and the building became the Hawea Playgroup’s home in the early 1990s.

Twenty years on, it has 53 families involved and an annual winter garage sale run by parents. This

year chair Kelly Wright and secretary Emily Sancha have been hard at work preparing for this Saturday’s event (June 15 10am – 2pm). Performers donating their time and energy include Lily Lightly and the Wisps, and Professor Bubble (aka Diana Hickey), Kidrock (Anna van Riel and local children) and the Wanaka Ukulele Orchestra. There will also be a bouncy castle, facepainting and a lolly scramble for the children, and coffee for the adults. Homemade goodies for sale will

include kumara soup, sausage rolls, bread and baking. And then of course there are the stalls which people rent to sell second-hand clothing and books and all sorts of treasures.

“We feel really fortunate to be supported by so many people and businesses locally, from the performers and stall holders, to the photographer, cafe helpers, bakers, facepainters and babysitters, dozens of people contribute their time and energy,” Emily

said. “We couldn’t do it without them.”

Funds raised go towards operational expenses of the playgroup and maintenance of the old building. In the last couple of years the Hawea Community Association donated funds for a heat pump; the Elsie and Ray Armstrong Charitable Trust donated funds for a safety gate; and the Graham and Olive West Charitable Trust donated funds for operational expenses.

crimescene More drink driving, vandals damage boat Damage was caused to fittings and paintwork on the Minaret Station pusher boat, which is out of the water at Waterfall Creek undergoing refurbishment, by a group of people who gained access to it and left empty bottles behind. One of the group also left behind a digital camera which contained photographs of the group drinking on the boat. A number of people have been charged with committing this offence.

Three people were processed for drink driving this week with one offender reaching almost double the legal limit.

There were two non-injury crashes this week where the drivers were caught out by ice. “With the winter weather well and truly upon us it is important that we remember to drive to the conditions,” Constable Martin Barham said.

Strategic goals set by LWT Lake Wanaka Tourism has this week set out its strategic goals, which include attracting more than one million visitors per year by 2022, for membership approval.

The group proposes the 54 percent increase in guest nights will be achieved through a combination of increased visitor arrivals, increased length of stay and increased repeat visitor rates. LWT is seeking feedback from its members through workshops and an online survey.

On dark, two bonfires will be lit, there will be a fire poi display, the hangi will be served and stories will be told by Jeromy van Riel. The celebrations begin on Saturday at 2.30pm and go until about 6pm.

All the news from Community Networks.

Who’s behind Community Networks?

Community Networks’ dedicated staff and volunteers support the Upper Clutha as the one-stop shop providing support and social services. But who supports them? The Alpine Community Development Trust (ACDT), a board that provides governance and guidance for the organisation.

Formed in 2003 when the Wanaka Work Initiative and the Upper Clutha Resource Centre combined, ACDT is a community-based charitable trust which relies on funding from a variety of sources.

With the government decreasing funding, maintaining the trust and Community Networks becomes harder each year. Without the ongoing support from our funders and the community we simply could not exist.

ACDT’s primary role is to oversee the successful operation of Community Networks. It provides strategic planning, marketing, financial, and management support to Kate Murray and the staff. With the variety of services CN offers including social work, referrals, coordination of visits by government and non-government agencies,

school holiday programmes, foodbank, Wheels to Dunstan, Meals on Wheels, budget advice and more, there is always something to work on. The trust also is responsible for community and social development – identifying areas of need or gaps in service to our community, and working toward filling them.

Current trustees include Chairperson Devon Hotop (pictured), Treasurer Margaret West, Lyal Cocks representing QLDC, Kathy Dedo, Robyn Ballard,

Heather Clay, Ted Rogers, David Smallbone, Richard Cubie and Associate Member Peter Gowing. It is a working trust, with all members contributing and volunteering their skills and time. You’ll be hearing from the trust next month, when they kick off an awareness and fundraising campaign to benefit Community Networks, called “Have a Heart Wanaka”. Until then…

Famine fundraiser Tim Brewster Wanaka school girls Isla Heath Dyer, Kirsten Blackley and Ashley McCulloch donned their onesie pyjamas on midday on Saturday to join an estimated 128,000 New Zealanders in fasting to fundraise for this year’s 40-Hour Famine.

The three ten-year-olds raised $180 doing a slightly reduced 20-hour fast and

were part of a number of local students who took part in the annual charity fundraiser with the money from this year’s event going to Papua New Guinea.

New Zealanders have raised more than $65 million since the 40-Hour Famine began 39 years ago.

Organisers are hoping this year’s event will generate $2.5 million for Papua New Guinea.

Tester for algae wanted Tim Brewster A test household in the Wanaka area, with an algae problem in their water supply, is being sought for a new filter being trialled by the QLDC. A water filter company has offered one of their products for a free trial and, if successful, the homeowner can keep the filter.

The major difference between the trial filter and the other “disc” filters currently used by some households is that it automatically backwashes or cleans itself.

Three Waters engineer Nichola Evans said apart from having an existing algae problem, the household required would need permanent irrigation already installed and a power supply and

Other conditions of the trial would include the need for monitoring of the filter by the QLDC and the filter company, inspection by members of the public under council guidance at prearranged times and the

use of the trial for promotion of the product.

Interested households can contact the QLDC to find out more about the trial.

Anna heads overseas Caroline Harker The indefatigable Anna van Riel is a tireless promoter of both local music and music performed locally. Lately, when she hasn’t been organising free concerts at the Nook, she has been recording an album – all with a local team – which she hopes to have in her hand tomorrow (Friday June 15). She’s taking the album on tour around Canada and the United States leaving on June 25, along with husband Locky Urquhart and daughter Matilda, 1.

Whistle and Hum is made up of songs written and sung by Anna, with local musicians Dom Stayne on double bass, Helen Carter on keyboards, Lisa Johnson on accordion, Enger Pelosi-Fear on violin and Danny Fairley on banjo, mandolin guitar, percussion and cow bells.

The album was produced and engineered at Danny’s studio in Aubrey Road. It was mastered by Damon Schwa l ger (a k a T he Nomad), and filmmaker Ryan Larraman made a promo film.

The CD cover is based on a scrapbook which

Bluemoon success PHOTO: JAMIE URQUHART

belonged to Anna’s husband Locky’s greatgreat-grandmother. His grandmother Maryed Urquhart is pictured above with Anna, Matilda, the original scrapbook and the album cover.

“As far as anyone knows it’s the first album to be completely locally made,” Anna said. “The only thing we couldn’t do here was press the CD.” She said it’s a mixture of styles. “There’s bluegrass, cabaret and folk with lots of great harmonies.”

She has been raising money for the album

and the tour through ‘contra-trading’ which has ranged from organising tours for other musicians to trading fruit and vegetables, and Locky is building a sound studio for Ryan in exchange for the promo film.

She has a few more projects to complete before they leave. Next week she is speaking to Year 13 MAC students and the Lions Club. She is also selling raffle tickets which she hopes will raise the last bit of money they need for the trip to North America.

The raffle is being drawn

on June 22 and the prizes include a $4000 diamond and sapphire gold ring donated by mother-in law Vicki Urquhart.

“Last month I spoke to Rotary with a power point presentation about the tour and my life, and I was utterly gobsmacked, and very grateful when the 50 listeners walked out with $300 worth of albums,” Anna said.

Hawea will seem pretty quiet with Anna away, but she’s back in late September and plans to have a free concert on the waterfront in the spring.

More than 70 young people attended Kahu Youth’s Bluemoon party on June 8 which youth worker Richard Elvey said was a “very good turnout” considering it was also the opening of Coronet Peak and there was a large netball tournament on the same weekend.

“We’re very proud of the Bluemoon crew and students in the community too,” Richard said. “This party had the least amount of input from Angie [Griffith] and I ever, and the whole night from set-up to pack-down ran really, really smoothly.”

Wanaka inspired Caroline Harker Organisers of the first Inspire Wanaka must be happy with the success of the event which attracted a nearly full house and was ‘an entertaining, educational and enlightening night out’ as intended.

An eclectic mix of speakers and three musicians from the college all took their turn on the stage, and there were drinks and free food.

First up was Dutchman Jeromy van Riel who spoke about being one of the four percent of kiwis fluent in Te Reo Maori.

Jeromy is a well known raconteur amongst former and current Te Reo students and he did not disappoint with his talk entitled ‘The Colour of our Hearts’.

Next was online businesswoman Kathryn Harper, who was an elective mute for most of her childhood. Her talk ‘Don’t call me

Quiet’ carried a strong message not to hide behind childhood labels and to be whatever you want to be.

Automotive design engineer Steve Rumore spoke about how we could have remarkably fuel-efficient cars if not for the profit-driven

123 Series.

The fourth speaker and only one from out-of-town was David Musgrove from Geraldine. He spoke about how hormones affect everything about us from our happiness to our belly fat. He delivered a rather sermon-like

An eclectic mix of speakers and three musicians from the college all took their turn on the stage motives in the industry.

Steve plans to design and build an energy-efficient car right here in Wanaka.

Meanwhile his advice to any potential car buyer is: be a connoisseur, look for new, innovative manufacturers and vote with your wallet. “It’s the only way to make manufacturers listen,” he said. Interestingly, Steve said the most reliable car ever produced was the 1984 Mercedes Benz

lecture to the audience giving tips on how to keep our hormones in good shape. These included a healthy diet, meditation and living in the present.

Last but not least was Steve Henry who told a fascinating story about a man who went to Africa to help villagers set up solar power for lighting, domestic cooking and pumping water. Three years later he came back convinced he had learnt

more from the villagers than they had learnt from him. He spent several months writing about his experiences and was awarded a university degree. Steve’s thesis is that the currency of learning is no longer knowledge gleaned in lecture halls; it is experience in real projects coupled with some serious reflection.

The talks were interspersed with songs from MAC students Phoebe James, Kirsten Jongsma and Emma Glynn. It was inspiring to hear teenagers with such beautiful voices performing with great poise and confidence.

Inspire Wanaka was organised by the Kahu Youth board of trustees as a fundraiser. They plan to make it a regular event and judging by the standard of this first one, those who attended and anyone they have talked to about it will be looking forward to the next event.

Memorial trophies taken by Alex Harry Nordiquay Upper Clutha were unable to prevent Alexandra from taking both the Cowie and Purvis memorial trophies back with them after a hardfought game at Tarras on Saturday last.

The Rams looked to contain early pressure from Alex, but after six or seven phases, the outside backs found an overlap to take an

early lead. Clutha then piled on the pressure with breaks from Fraser ‘Razor’ Dowling, Scotty Cunningham and Kelly Gooch up the right wing.

This sparked the forward pack into life with quick surges piercing the Alex backline before great link play from Purvis, Jason Clarke and finally Adam Ervine put the Rams into the lead. Just before half-time the Rams struck again, strong

running from Ewan ‘Big Easy’ Cameron and the immense Fraser Given, gave Mark ‘Nosey’ Broderick a platform for the backs to push up the righthand side to set Adam ‘Swerving’ Ervine free to comfortably finish off the move.

The Rams, led by Captain Tom Hudson, soaked up the pressure straight after the break but weren’t able to prevent illegal

infringements and Clutha were down to fourteen men for ten minutes. This led to an even more stringent attack from Alex who were soon rewarded with a rolling maul over the line. Back to the full complement, Clutha pushed forward but unforced errors meant possession ended up back in Alex’s hands and they scored to take the lead as the game entered its final minutes.

Busy weekend for UC hockey After a break for the long weekend, the Upper Clutha Hockey Club had a busy weekend.

The Kwik Sticks team had a tough encounter with league leaders Maniototo. While Upper Clutha improved significantly after the interval, the opposition were just too strong, grabbing a goal and showing much better positional awareness.

The final score was 9-1 to Maniototo.

The Senior B team played a good SBS Cromwell side on Friday night. Upper Clutha battled fantastically and Ollie McKenzie had a great game at goalkeeper as he stepped up a grade.

Cromwell dominated the first half to hold a 4-0 lead, but UC came out firing in the second half. Despite a host of opportunities they could

not convert until ten minutes from time when Tish Telford pulled a goal back to leave the final score 4-1.

The Kiwi Sticks teams played on Saturday in Cromwell. The Hornets came close to getting their first win of the season against SBS Carrick. Leading 2-1 at half-time through goals from Ruby Burke and Milly Robinson, they sat back too deep in the second-half and conceded two quick goals as Carrick got back into the game. Despite plenty of attacking opportunities they couldn’t get the ball over the line and lost 3-2. The Jaguars played the Greensticks from St Gerards, and continued their unbeaten form, recording a 7-3 win.

Ocean Allemann scored four goals in a dominant

first half, but, like the Hornets, they allowed the opposition back into the game in the second half.

St Gerards scored three goals - the first goals the team has conceded all season - but they were matched by two goals from Milly Robinson and one from Ruby Burke.

The Mini Sticks team played on Sunday against a team from Alexandra Primary.ThomasBenson had a strong game in defence with some good trapping and passing and Upper Clutha took the lead when Billie Crowe dribbled up-field and scored. Alex equalised late in the half but after the break they began to tire. UC fielded some fresh legs and, attacking up the right-hand side, Bronte Crowe added a second goal to secure a 2-1 win. Players of the daywereThomasBenson

and Maggie Dougherty.

The club’s most junior players, the Fun Sticks, took to the pitch in Alexandra on Sunday in their second mini-tournament of the season. They fielded three teams and performed well with a tally of two wins, two draws and four losses.

Players of the day were Ella Sarginson, Lily Wilson and Charlie Scurr.

EDITORIAL Will the future of Pembroke Park be settled once and for all at next month’s community board meeting or will it spark a new round of debate? As Crown land administered by the council to manage recreational and outdoor activities with an emphasis on the retention of open spaces, the notion of sealed carparking on the reserve has prompted a strong backlash from a number of long-term residents.

The critics are concerned about a piecemeal approach to car-parking which will continue to eat into the area’s reserves of green open spaces.

It appears much of the problem goes back to the mid1990s when the QLDC of the day decided car-parking requirements shouldn’t interfere with commercial developers wanting to build in the CBD. The town remains bound by the regulations and now, with the horse well bolted, it seems the only way to remedy parking problems is to encroach on a Crown Reserve which is an enviable green centrepiece for the town.

Sports facility Recent local reports showing the lack of knowledge about the proposed Wanaka Sports Facility have prompted me to write with the facts.

After a full consultation process over some years: In March 2011 the Queenstown Lakes District Council voted nine to two to locate the Wanaka Sports Facility at a site in the Three Parks subdivision; In December 2011 a Facility Mix Report and the Concept Plans were finalised; In December 2011 a Landscape Report was prepared.

Coach proud of netball girls More than 20 Otago secondary schools competed at the annual Otago schools netball tournament held at the Edgar Centre in Dunedin on June 7 and 8. Three teams from Mount Aspiring College - School A, Year 10A (pictured) and Year 9A - attended the event, all coming ninth in their age group competitions.

Kate Mackenzie Smith, who coaches the Year 10A team, said she was proud of how well all the girls played during the weekend. They “played some fantastic netball against some tough competition,” she said.

The girls also attended a Steel versus Tactix netball game and met some of the Steel team members.

Wanaka rowing success celebrated Wanaka Rowing Club held its annual club award ceremony on Sunday afternoon at the Wanaka Yacht Club. The club had its most successful year to date, winning two national titles, making history for the club in its sixth year.

The under-19 coxed four of Nick Jackson,

Jarrod Wellman, James Redai and Jamie Bowley coxed by Hamish Roulston won the club’s first gold medal at the Nationals in February and 14-year-old Riley Bruce won the boys’ under-16 single sculls at the New Zealand National Secondary Schools Maadi Cup Regatta.

Club organisers said with the quality of rowing so high and huge improvements for all concerned, deciding on the winners was one of the toughest decisions for the coaches this year.

Better second half for MAC 1st XV The Mount Aspiring College 1st XV travelled to Oamaru to play Waitaki Boys on Saturday.

The MAC team were again slow to start and conceded easy points in a poor defensive first half effort. A stern half-time chat fired up the team and they responded with a solid second-half effort. Although conceding size and weight throughout the team MAC played with more commitment and passion in the second half and put pressure on the Waitaki Boys and shut down their ball runners. With their very good first half Waitaki Boys deserved the win: the game finished 36-5.

Elliot Mason and James Redai in the forwards impressed and George Gilchrist was named player of the day for his all-round game in the backs.

The team play John McGlashan College in Wanaka this Saturday, June 15.

Senior hockey The Senior Women played on Saturday against second in the table Maniototo. The UC midfield had a great game led by centre half Becs Holland who was always on hand to win the 50/50 balls.

Movement around the pitch was great and attacking intent was rewarded with two goals from Liz Cook and one from

Pru Heaney. The team struggled at times to clear the ball effectively from defence and Maniototo were able to score twice. UC won 3-2 and leapfrogged the opposition to sit second in the table.

The Senior Men secured their first win of the season on Monday night, playing Queenstown Blue in freezing conditions in

Cromwell. Rich King opened the scoring with the only goal of the first half. The second half turned into a one-sided affair with Upper Clutha pinning Queenstown in their own half and adding three more goals, one from Dylan Bradley and two from Angus Ford. The final score was UC 4, Queenstown Blue 0.

One dollar swimming lessons Wanaka school children will benefit from a nationally funded learn to swim programme offering one dollar lessons for classes from Year 1 to Year 8.

The Water Safety New Zealand (WSNZ) Swim Safe Central Lakes Region plan, which began in 2010 offers ten 30 minute lessons including a river and lake component.

School swimming programme manager Jodi Voyce said Year 7 and Year 8 students were already halfway through the first sessions with the remaining younger children starting in term four.

She said the goal is to teach children to be able to swim at least 200m unassisted.

Wanaka FC in command PHOTO: RUTH BOLGER

AL Bertini With only six games left of the season, Wanaka are in a commanding position at the top of the Central Otago League. Goal difference is all that separates the yellow and blacks from rivals Alexandra A, whom they meet next week in a potential, winner-takes-all encounter in Alex.

Queenstown Rangers were Wanaka FC’s guests last Saturday. They sat mid-table prior to the game but posed little threat having never won in Wanaka. Allan Carmichael opened the scoring after

Tommy Parker’s neat work down the left found the advancing striker inside the six-yard box to stab the ball home after ten minutes.

Finn Moore continued his outstanding goalscoring record this year by adding another shortly after. Aidan Butler got in on the act and Allan scored another to make it 4-0 at half time.

The second half was much of the same, Rangers threatened at times, but Wanaka’s experience at defending a lead showed.

Finn Moore and Jiffy Griffiths scored again, Lucas

Poborsky extended the lead and Aidan Butler got his second with a superb glancing header into the top corner from a seemingly impossible angle.

Rangers pulled one back after some slack defending from Wanaka resulted in a penalty. It was merely a consolation though as Wanaka increased their points to 34 at the top of the table.

Prior to last Saturday’s ga mes, Wanaka F C, Alexandra A and Frankton were level on points at the top of the table with 31 points each. But with Frankton only managing a

draw against Lakes United, WanakaFCandAlexandraA remained the two teams at the top and level on points with next week’s game taking on more significance.

Wanaka Braves hosted Galaxy in the later kick-off hoping to beat the young team from Queenstown again. Andy Parsley and Jarrod Still, with two goals, were the scorers as the Braves ran out 3-2 victors in an exciting end-toend game.

This week both Wanaka teams make the trip to Alexandra to play their A and B teams. The action starts at 1pm.

Future Paralympian swimmers Wanaka’s Kylie Pilkinton was one of 12 children from around New Zealand, and the only one from Wanaka, selected for a NZ Paralympics talent identification camp in Timaru last weekend.

Kylie, 12, pictured between her swim coach Fiona Hezinger and Paralympian gold medallist Mary Fisher is now waiting to see if she will be selected for the NZ development squad.

Fiona has been involved in coaching Paralympic swimming for the past three years with Wanaka swimmer Hamish McLean, who is currently in the NZ development team.

Fiona said the camp was for swimmers who have been identified as having a future as Paralympian swimmers and it was a good opportunity for them to swim in a squad and meet other children similar to them.
