Tarras School secures future Jessica Maddock Wanaka Sun

Tarras School has a secure future with a growing roll, according to the manager appointed by the Education Ministry to resolve issues at the school. Paul Ferris, a retired principal of Dunedin’s Kavanagh College, was appointed in March to the role of limited statutory manager at the primary school. He took over the Board of Trustees’ role in regards to employment and communication.
Mr Ferris told the Wanaka Sun there was “tension” between the small board and the principal, including around workload, which “needed some process and we have done that.” The current principal, Darryn Rae, who also teaches at the school, will finish at the end of term two, to take up the position of deputy principal at Queenstown Primary School. Mr Ferris said when he was appointed limited statutory manager at the school, its future was in doubt due to its roll of just 13 pupils. However, the roll had since grown – 16 pupils were enrolled in the school
for next year and the number could grow to 20, with several local children turning five shortly and three new families moving to the area. Mr Ferris said a “brilliant, wonderful, positive” community meeting was held recently to discuss the future of the school. “People who didn’t even have children were there. They value the school and want it to remain independent and well-managed.” Forty-seven people attended the meeting at which Mr Ferris explained his role at the school, the importance of good governance and the need for
community members to “step up” to governance roles. Two people were recently co-opted to the board; Tracey Dennison and Gordy Watson. They join incumbent board members, chairperson Gus Chapman-Cohen and Justin Willson. Mr Ferris said a fifth board member may be sought as it was usual for a school to have five board members, although smaller schools could have less. Tarras School had just three board members when Mr Ferris was appointed Story continues page 2.

Tarras School secures future Continued from page 1... to the role of limited statutory manager to resolve issues between it and the principal. The search for a new principal will begin this month, with the role commencing at the start of the 2016 school year. Adrienne Richards, of Nelson, will fill the role of principal for the remainder of this year. “Sometimes, to get the right person for that type of school, you have to be patient - you have to go looking,” Mr Ferris said. Tarras School has one fulltime staff member – the principal who also teaches – and one half-time teacher. It had more teaching resources than was allocated by the ministry as the community raised money to
fund them, Mr Ferris said. Fundraising initiatives included the book about the sheep, named Shrek, which was found on Bendigo Station and a dinner to be held on June 27, with a guest speaker and a celebrity chef. Mr Ferris expected his role as statutory limited manager to end in late September, when the appointment of a permanent principal was confirmed. Tarras School is the second local primary school at which the ministry has appointed a temporary manager in recent times. Wanaka Primary School returned to self-governance earlier this year after several months under the guidance of a ministry-appointed manager.

Support for Nepal continues Caroline Harker Wanaka Sun Wanaka is continuing to fundraise for Nepal with new events cropping up all the time. The schools have had mufti days, Lone Star had a children’s day at the Dinosaur Park on Saturday and Federal Diner is planning a special dinner for July 21. Hawea Flat School netballers also made and sold cupcakes raising $325.
Nepal certainly has a special place in Kiwi hearts. Tonight (Thursday, June 4) Cinema Paradiso and Adventure Consultants are holding a film screening (“Beyond the Edge”) and an auction. A huge range of local businesses and individuals have donated goods and services for auction. Funds raised will all go to reputable charities including Adventure Consultants’ Sherpa Future Fund
which pays for the education of children of deceased Sherpas, The Himalayan Trust which was founded by Sir Edmund Hillary to help the people of the Everest region with health, education and general wellbeing, the dZi Foundation which rebuilds damaged schools, the Helambu/Solu Khumbu Relief Fund which was set up after the earthquakes by former Wanaka Wastebusters’ staff member Sophie Ward and her husband Mal Haskins
to get aid and supplies to remote communities, and the Juniper Fund which supports families of Nepalese high altitude guides who have been injured or killed by helping with living expenses, educational scholarships and social support programmes. Adventure Consultants chief executive Guy Cotter has a particular interest in helping the Sherpa community. “Almost our entire Sherpa team will need assistance to rebuild their homes and for community services such as water supplies in their villages. Many of the buildings in the Solu-Khumbu region that escaped the first quake were taken out by the May 12 one, due to the intensity and close proximity of the epicentre. We have made contact with most of
our Sherpa staff to assess what damage they have incurred and are assessing what funds are needed for repairs or rebuilds. It is very unlikely that anything other than rudimentary repairs will be achieved before the monsoon and in the short-term, it is the requirement for immediate shelter that is most crucial.” Guy said the Nepalese have no confidence in their Government to help them, nor is there a robust civil defence system there. While short term funds donated by the film screening will go towards food and tarpaulins, in the longer term funds for building materials will be required. “One of the best things people can do for Nepal is to keep going there as tourists,” Guy said.

Economic benefits of A&P Show Aimee Wilson Wanaka Sun The 2015 Wanaka A&P Show brought almost $10.9 million worth of direct economic benefits to the area, an independent study has found. The report, prepared by Opinions Market Research Ltd, reveals the total expenditure by trade exhibitors, volunteers, spectators and competitors over the two-day event in March was an estimated $10.9 million. Of this, non-local show attendees contributed an estimated $8.1 million, or 75 percent of the expenditure: “This amount represents the ‘new money’ brought into the Wanaka economy because of staging this event,” the report says. “Special events such as the Wanaka A&P Show provide important recreational opportunities for local residents, as well as forming a fundamental component of the destination’s tourist attractions,” the report says. This year’s Wanaka A&P Show, held on March 13 and 14, attracted 35,000 people and was the largestever in the event’s 78-year history, in terms of size and entry numbers. This is the first economic impact report undertaken for the Wanaka A&P Show. Wanaka Chamber of Commerce chairman Alistair King said while the show appeared to have a direct benefit for some businesses, “it was important not to lose sight of the fact
that events like these ensure the town remains a vibrant and appealing place to visit and live in, while bringing in significant direct and indirect economic benefits. “Events like Challenge Wanaka and the A&P Show bring several million dollars of direct spend into the community as well as significant national and international media coverage. “Other events such as Rippon, the Contact Epic mountain bike race, Festival of Colour and the iconic Warbirds over Wanaka are equally important in attracting domestic visitors to the region.” For the Upper Clutha A&P Society, the report reinforced what they have believed for a long time, show coordinator Jane Stalker said. “Every year the Wanaka A&P Show attracts people from all over New Zealand to Wanaka for our special two-day event. We are proud to deliver a nationally-recognised community event and are delighted to have the direct economic benefit quantified,” she said. “The Wanaka Show is an important rural and community event, bringing town and country together. It’s run by a not-for-profit society and we are also focused on giving back to the community each year, in return for their support at the show. “Last year we gave more than $80,000 to community groups and organisations following the 2014 show,” Jane said.
Macular degeneration A free seminar on macular degeneration is being held in Wanaka on Saturday. Macular degeneration is the main cause of blindness in New Zealand. It affects one in seven people over the age of 50. Ophthalmologist Dr Harry Bradshaw will discuss treatments and management of the condition at a seminar on June 6, at Peak Functions from 10am until 11:30am. The macula is the central area of the retina at the back of the eye. It enables
detailed central vision, most colour vision, the ability to read, recognise people’s faces and drive a vehicle. Macular degeneration is caused by both genetic and environmental factors, including age, family history, smoking, diet and other lifestyle choices. Symptoms include distortion, where straight lines appear bent; difficulty with reading or other activities which require fine vision; difficulty distinguishing faces, and dark or empty spaces in the centre of one’s vision.
Plunket needs support Caroline Harker Wanaka Sun Upper Clutha Plunket has an exhibition by 36 international children’s book illustrators at the Lake Wanaka Centre until Saturday, however, the organisation needs more than visitors to support the show. Two years ago, Upper Clutha Plunket had a committee of 16 people – it is now down to a volunteer group of three, according to volunteer Paula Thurnham (pictured). While Plunket nurse Helen Umbers is funded by head office, it is the local branch which keeps the Plunket Rooms open and pays for the room hostess.
Paula said as well as providing a base for regular Plunket clinics, the rooms provide a place for mothers to go when they are in town for support, coffee mornings, parent education classes, ante-natal classes, a single parents’ group and more. “We need more people to help coordinate volunteers and fundraising,” she said. “A lot of the young mothers in town are from overseas and don’t realise how important Plunket is in New Zealand. We’re a casual group and volunteers will find they have a lot of fun with us.” Visitors to the exhibition will meet volunteers there. The artworks on display were

commissioned by Sunshine Books and include artists whose work is used to illustrate New Zealand authors. They include Jill Allpress (Gavin Bishop); Robyn Belton and Deidre Gardiner (Margaret Mahy); and Mary Davy, Elizabeth Fuller, Vicki Smillie-McHoull, Philip Webb and Val Biro (Joy Cowley). “This is a great opportunity to see illustrations from your own childhood or your children’s, while at the same time raising funds for Plunket’s services in the area,” Upper Clutha Plunket co-ordinator Claire Perkins said. The exhibition is open from 10am until 2pm until Saturday, with a gold coin entry fee.
CNZM for local man Owen Poole Wanaka man Owen Poole was awarded a CNZM in the Queen’s Birthday honours, for his services to the meat industry. The 68-year-old was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Owen’s career spanned five decades, ending as chairman of Alliance Group – the world’s largest processor and exporter
of sheep meat. While chief executive of the company from 1995 to 2005, he saw the turnover increase from $864 million to $1.095 million. The retired red-meat sector leader described his award as a rare privilege, and said he was very humbled. The stand-out point in his career was innovation, he said,
particularly within the plants, and robotics. There was also significant diversification of product into Asia, over the past 20 years. ‘In the past it’s been largely dominated by Europe,’ he said. Owen retired in 2013 and moved from Southland to Wanaka.

Sojourn for Sally Caroline Harker Wanaka Sun Former Queenstown Lakes deputy mayor and long-term Wanaka resident Sally Middleton is making some big changes in her life. She has put her Waimana Place home on the market and is soon heading off on her third caravan trip around the South Island since November. “I might even go to the North Island too,” she said. Sally is undecided whether she will return to live in Wanaka or move north to Nelson “where there is a strong art group,” Blenheim or Picton. A painter all her life, Sally had a “very successful” sale of her paintings at the weekend (pictured) and is downsizing her possessions. While she is still keen to do portraits on commission, she is freeing herself up for new adventures. Sally and her late husband Don lived in Wanaka for more than 20 years. During that time she painted portraits of many locals, both familiar and famous. She did a three –year term on the Wanaka Community Board from 1998
and was the district’s deputy mayor from 2001-2007, working with mayor Clive Geddes. “Being on the community board was the most frustrating time,” she said. “Everything we decided had to go through the council and be ratified, and some things were just thrown out. On the council we had much more autonomy. Clive was great to work with and kept me in the loop with what was going on.” Sally chaired the council reserves and facilities committee for three years and the community services committee for another three. “It was a very interesting time. I didn’t know much about debating, but I certainly learnt to stand up for myself.” Sally resigned to look after Don who was unwell. “It was too hard going to meetings in Queenstown after sleepless nights.” Don died in October last year, aged 90. “He was ready to go.” And now it’s Sally’s time to do whatever she wants.

Locals wanted for Merino Muster
Organisers of the Merino Muster have issued a challenge to get mor e l o c a l s o n th e s t a r t - l i n e . Last year the cross-country ski event became part of the international Worldloppet organisation, which coordinates 20 ski marathons around the world, yet there were far more overseas athletes competing than Kiwis. Organisers and the host venue, the Snow Farm, have issued a “Wanaka Winter Challenge,” saying it is time for locals to add a crosscountry ski marathon to their sporting CV. Coast to Coast legend Keith Murray says cross-country skiing is ideal training for multi-sports athletes. “It demands almost every part of the body be exercised without stress, in inspiring scenery using gear which is light and easy to master,” he said. “Ski beside the Meg River with just the swish of your skis for company and you will wonder why you left trying cross-country skiing for so long. Seeing views of Mount Aspiring, with
the sun setting or rising behind it as you finish one of the best workouts you will get, is magic.” Keith and Snow Farm general manager Andy Pohl have designed a training package for locals. “Training can be timed to suit you, instruction will be on the hoof as you ski, no hanging around doing drills as Andy accepts you are fit and need a workout,” Keith said. Multisport guru Steve Gurney has also looked at the package and given it his thumbs up. Steve has been a long time winter visitor to the Snow Farm and has already entered in this year’s race. The event has three categories, catering for anyone from absolute beginners to world class experts. The Merino Muster itself is 42km, then there is the 21km Snow Rake and, for beginners and intermediate skiers, there is the 7km Straggle Muster. The event will be held on August 15.

Hunt for home movies Caroline Harker Wanaka Sun Television researcher Jane Dowell is on a nationwide search for homemade colour film footage from the 1950s to the 1970s and hopes to find some in the Upper Clutha region. “It would be wonderful to find footage of early search and rescue, deer recovery, adventure tourism, skiing and heli-skiing, and the wine industry during that period because a lot of the early forays into those industries happened around your neck of the woods,” she said. “We’re also looking for great stories – people who were involved in those kinds of events
and movements around social change.” The three-part series will be made by Greenstone TV and is called “Decades in Colour.” It aims to “reveal the big moments and the reality of life for ordinary Kiwis.” These will include national and domestic events throughout the country, for example, the Lions rugby tour, the Beatles visit, anti-war protests, or men going off to war. Scenes from everyday life could include picnics at the beach, A&P shows, skateboarding, parties, fashion and anything else that evokes the times or has a great story behind it. If you have footage, please contact Jane Dowell on decades@greenstonetv.com or 09 623 7756.

Local woodworker builds what may be New Zealand’s first oud
Cardies to open early
Maddy Harker Wanaka Sun Wanaka’s Simon King has built what may be the first “oud” ever made in New Zealand. Pronounced “ood,” it is an 11-string instrument which is a close relation to a 16th or 17th century renaissance lute. Simon, who has lived in Wanaka for 11 years, is an experienced craftsman and designer specialising in woodwork. He was commissioned to build the oud by Tim Barrie, a musician based in Wellington. Tim has two Turkish ouds, but the new oud made by Simon is based on a Syrian design. “It was a matter of working from a written description,” said Simon, who based his measurements for the rare instrument on books and online information. It took Simon around 100 hours of labour to produce the instrument. The inlay at the end of the neck is made from black pearl shells from the Cook Islands where Simon lived for two years. The fingerboard is made from rata, while the main body is walnut and maple. The inlay is made of black maire, to support the 300kg of tension from the strings. “I tried to give it a distinctive New Zealand flavour by using some New Zealand wood,” said Simon. Tim’s Wellington band plays unique instruments including ouds, Turkish drums and a violin, and they are often called to play at the residence of the Turkish Ambassador in New Zealand. Tim and Simon believe this is the first oud ever made in New Zealand. “I have no way of knowing if that’s true,

but we think it might be,” said Simon. Simon has built traditional Cook Island ukuleles in the past, but this is his first attempt at making such an elaborate instrument. Tim visited Wanaka and played the instrument shortly before it was completed and was “very pleased” with the product. The next challenge will be getting the oud safely to Wellington.

Cardrona Alpine Resort will open next weekend – a week earlier than last year - thanks to recent heavy snowfalls and perfect snowmaking conditions. General manager Bridget Legnavsky said the ski area would open on June 13, weather conditions allowing. Initially only the beginner slopes were scheduled to open but, given the ideal conditions recently, it was now likely the McDougall’s, Whitestar and Captains Quad chairlifts would also be operating on opening day. Ms Legnavsky said equipment bought by the ski area during the summer had helped it to open more earlyseason terrain. The four new Pisten Bully Groomers are equipped with a “SnowSat” GPS fleet management system. Cardrona is the only ski area in the southern hemisphere to use the “state of the art…snow management tool,” Ms Legnavsky said.
Several other improvements were made at Cardrona over the summer which would benefit all levels of skiers and snowboarders, she said. A new learners’ conveyor has been built running parallel to the existing conveyor to reduce lift queues, and the beginners’ terrain park “Lil Bucks” has been moved to give beginner freestylers more space and a wider variety of features. A new intermediate trail - along the ridgeline which connects the Valley View and Tail Race trails – has been added, providing another 10ha of on-piste terrain and making it easier to access terrain off the Valley View Quad chairlift. Several main trails have also been widened to provide more space for beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Pictured: Cardrona Alpine Resort’s new snow groomers in action.

Wanaka ice cream wins at national awards PURE New Zealand Ice Cream - owned by Wanaka’s Richard and Tracey Bullock - has won three awards at the 2015 New Zealand Ice Cream Awards. The pair, who set up PURE in 2010, was particularly excited to have been awarded gold in this year’s speciality category, Best of Berries. They credited the win, at least in part, to the use of fresh berries in all their ice creams. Tracey and Richard (pictured)also won silver in the Premium Ice Cream category, with their Kaffir Lime and Ginger Ice Cream,
and silver in the Gelato category with their Boysenberry Gelato. “[It] was a big moment for us,” said Tracey, as they were up against over 300 other entrants in the awards. Tracey and Richard moved to Wanaka 11 years ago after spending 25 years in Australia. The pair has been working together for a long time, as restaurateurs with Richard the chef and Tracey taking care of front-of-house. But ice-cream has always been a passion for Richard. “It’s something I knew I would do since I was in my early 20s.”
After moving to Wanaka and working as a chef at Treble Cone for six years, PURE was established. The brand prides itself on producing allnatural products and has a core set of 12 flavours, but often experiments with new flavours. “We always hope for the best and were very pleased with the results at the awards,” Richard said. PURE has a big year ahead – it is planning to break into the Auckland service industry and widen its distribution networks.

crimescene Crimeline by Senior Constable Bruce Mclean. Well, I have to say it has been a pretty good week overall. I love winter, so sorry to those out there who hibernate to avoid the below zero degree temperatures. Sadly the weather is going to get worse before it gets better. It’s clear we are preparing for the winter onslaught of increased police calls for service, however. It was good to see that, despite the frosted and icy roads after the snow, we only had one ice-related crash reported on Ballantyne Road and one vehicle collided with a fence between Cardrona and the Crown Range overnight on the May 31 – June 1. The collision with the fence did allow cows onto the road, however, which put other road users at risk. I’m sure the cold snap reminded those who haven’t got chains yet to go out and start looking for some and those who have theirs buried in the back of the garage to dig them out. We investigated a fraud involving a cellular phone bought online. This is not an uncommon occurrence and there are plenty of people out there who will rip you off at every opportunity. Thankfully they are by a long way the minority and most purchases go smoothly. We do investigate such matters and some online purchasing methods have secure payment options. These are worth their weight in gold and I wouldn’t be paying any money online that I am not prepared to lose without some assurances. Some people don’t work on good faith like others. A local male was arrested in relation to a burglary in Albert Town which is a good result. Make sure you lock your home. Offences such as this would be prevented if we reduced the opportunity by locking our homes correctly. Also think about firewood that is in public view or near the road. Every year we get reports of firewood being stolen. We are spending a lot of time on the roads at the moment looking for drink-driving and poor driver behaviour. Let’s all be safe out there and look after each other. Be patient and watch your following distances. Treat all winter roads as icy. It’s hard to argue with being charged when 50 or so cars have driven cautiously over an area that is clearly icy with no problem and you lose control by not driving to the conditions. With the frosty weather now with us we will be looking at drivers who scrape a port hole in their frosty windscreen which incurs a $150 infringement fee. It’s simply not safe, so take another minute to scrape the windscreen, side and rear windows completely clear. Let’s set an example for those who come here.

Montessori says goodbye to a special teacher Aimee Wilson Wanaka Sun Montessori Children’s House Wanaka has lost one of its long-serving teachers, Bev Reynolds. Bev has been working at Montessori for 13 years and has fond memories of her time teaching at both the Kings Drive location and where the early childhood centre first began in Warren Street. After training as a kindergarten teacher in the late 1970s in Christchurch, she worked in Australia and in Southland, and 20 years ago she and her husband moved to Wanaka. “At Montessori, the philosophy and calm environment really captivated me, so I accepted fulltime work there. “ This was when Montessori was located in an old cottage in Warren Street which had lovely old roses and rustic manuka fencing around the perimeter, but was freezing cold in the winter,” she said. Montessori has been part of her life for a long time, and she has seen many changes. “I have enjoyed every moment and
will miss my teaching colleagues, children and families. “Now is time for a change after 13 years at Montessori. I will, however, be around as a reliever and hope to do part-time nannying work as well, as I love working with young children.” Managing teacher Anne-Marie Love said the garden at Montessori is one of the legacies Bev will leave behind. “Instrumental from the outset in 2003 when Montessori moved to their new premises in Kings Drive, Bev has continually assisted and guided the garden development. “Her organisation skills with our items into the A&P Show was another event where she took a lead role, and the prizes we accrued were testament to the time Bev spent to support the children prepare their entries. “I have been privileged to have worked alongside Bev since she began at Montessori and have seen first-hand the positive impact she had played in many of the children’s lives. “Coupled with this the guidance and assistance she has passed onto the parents over the years has been

EDITORIAL Winter has arrived. Last weeks’ snow was a delight – sleds, skis and snowmen all over town. But when the chill really sets in, things can start to feel dull. We’ve compiled a little list of winter activity ideas to keep busy when things get gloomy. Here are some of the Wanaka Sun team’s favourites: Set a new challenge. It doesn’t have to be outdoorsy. Winter is the season for eating – why not try to cook your way through a whole cookbook this winter? (Think Julie and Julia). Or just perfect some new soups. Winter drinks don’t have to be boring either – mulled wine is a classic, but get adventurous and invent some new hot winter beverages. Stay social. Winter doesn’t have to mean hibernation. Replace barbeques on the beach with dinner parties at home. Light a bonfire and toast marshmallows. Join a club like a book club or camera club, and learn something new while socialising. Luxuriate in leisure. Doing nothing is still doing something, and you never have an excuse like winter. Sleep in, take a hot bath, watch movies, read books, and stay in your pyjamas until lunchtime. Rug up and head out. Although you don’t want to be outside too much in winter, a little fresh air and vitamin D is still important. Go cycling, horse riding or skiing (soon anyway). If that’s not your thing, there are myriad walks to get your blood pumping. Take up a hobby. That thing you’ve been meaning to do but can’t bring yourself to in the summer months? Now’s the time. Learn a language, a skill or a craft – you can learn to do just about anything on YouTube these days so if you can’t bear to head out for a lesson, you’re still in luck. Wishing everyone a happy start to their winter.
1080 drop In relation to their intended 1080 drop south of Wanaka township, TBfree has stated that “previous surveys have shown that infected wild animals are present in the surrounding area.” Despite requests to publish these reports, TBfree has still not shown anyone the evidence, which they say makes a 1080 drop necessary. This is most unusual. 1080 drops are based on science. The science is in those survey results. Without this proof that there is a problem of TB in the local possum population, TBFree’s up-coming 1080 drop will be just for the sake of dropping more 1080. This lack of evidence occurred in our area in 2013 when DOC dropped 1080 over 15000 hectares with no evidence of possum damage, or need for any possum control. TBfree seems to be following the same tactics in Wanaka. John Veysey, Coromandel

cameraclubcolumn Visual storytelling (which is what we do in photography) is all about drawing attention to what we consider is important to a story and then keeping the viewer’s focus there. We achieve this by consciously deciding what to leave in and what to leave out of the image and by using the building blocks of composition such as shape, form, texture, line and light to create a picture with real impact. Colour also plays an important role in this process and can play a major role in determining the final outcome of the picture. The key to using colour successfully is to keep the composition simple. Including lots of different colours in a landscape photograph may lessen its visual strength as too many vivid and bright colours will compete for the attention of the viewer and make it difficult to find a focus point. One way of giving colour a bold, eyecatching quality is to select a subject where one particular hue dominates the scene. The effect is even stronger when the dominant colour is a primary colour (red, yellow or blue). It is almost impossible in photography to overemphasise the value of keeping things simple. A picture which only includes the essential elements of the scene will be visually stronger than an image with too much detail. Thinking that more is better or not realising that including colours which do not play a specific role in the photo, will lead to a visually confusing mage which weakens the story we are intending to tell. Pip O’Regan’s picture ‘Rangitoto ‘ is great example of how simplicity in composition and the effective use of colour created a picture with real impact.
PHOTO: PIP O’ REGAN
Rangitoto, a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf, near Auckland, is one of Pip’s favourite places. She took the picture early in the morning and wanted to catch the rising sun lighting the tree on the right-hand side of the picture, which at the time was in dark shadow. Pip took the picture with a Canon 5D mark11 camera attached to Tamron 24-70mm zoom lens set at 24mm and an aperture of f5. To get maximum quality ISO was 100 and because of the low level of light the camera was mounted on a tripod with a shutter speed of 8 seconds. The long shutter also created a smooth and silky seascape which added to the appeal of the picture. Pip’s photo was well received by the adjudicator of the Club’s monthly competition. They commented: ‘Here we have a landscape that the photographer has etched their style into. The blue colour cast works really well. I like the feeling of flow from left to right, the vignette helps this work. The silhouetted tree branch helps fill that empty piece of sky while balancing and framing Rangitoto Island on the left. The roll and shadow of the breaking wave adds strength and anchors the foreground. I think this landscape has real artistic appeal.’ Wanaka Camera Club is dedicated to help improve the photographic skills of anyone interested in photography. We welcome anyone to join us irrespective of photographic ability - if you know nothing about photography we will teach you. Come along and see what we can do for you. Our next meeting is on Monday 8th June, 7.30pm at the St John’s Rooms, Link Way.

The Mount Aspiring College 1st XV (MAC) travelled to Dunedin on Saturday to take on top-rated John McGlashan a College in round six of the Otago Secondary Schools 1st XV competition. MAC went into the match riding high after two consecutive wins, but it was a reality check for the boys from Wanaka in the first half, as John McGlashan notched up 36 unanswered points in a faultless display. McGlashan dominated all aspects of the first period with a disciplined display of controlled and patient rugby leading to six first half tries. MAC was starved of possession and, when they did secure the ball, mistakes turned it over. The second half was a different affair as MAC defended positively often catching John McGlashan behind their advantage line. As confidence grew, MAC was able to secure possession and put
their more fancied opponents under pressure. They were rewarded with a try to Connor Stuart and may very well have added another as the referee, who was unsighted, adjudicated that half-back Tim Weir was held up. The second half was a strong performance from the MAC side, showing again that they are competitive with all sides in the competition. Forward Zac Shields toiled well and Toby Lee had moments of impressive play. Connor Stuart, Josh O’Regan and Tom Bowman defended strongly in the second half. The backs had limited opportunity and once again Ellis Meyer-Budge impressed with his elusive running and solid defence. Cameron Arnerich made some strong runs and hard tackles. MAC is in Oamaru this weekend before two home games to finish the first round.
The NZ Mountain Film Festival has released its 2015 programme and announced its Grand Prize film. The annual festival – which this year will be returning to Wanaka and Queenstown for its 13th year– is a not-for-profit event designed to encourage people of all ages to enjoy safe adventures outdoors. Each year the festival holds an international adventure filmmaking competition open to submissions from around the globe, and the best films make up the programme for the week of the festival. The top film wins the coveted Grand Prize. This year the winning film was Myanmar: Bridges to Change. It tells the tale of a group of seven climbers who travel to Myanmar with the goal of ascending Gamlang Razi, but soon realise they are in some of the most untouched corners of the world alongside some of the most remote and unaffected people. It promises to be a unique glimpse into a thoroughly inimitable culture.
