Random acts of kindness to spread community spirit CAROLINE HARKER Wanaka Sun
f a teenager you don’t know approaches you in the street next Friday (November 20) don’t panic. They could be a member of Sticks ’n Stones trying to perform a random act of kindness. They might give you a cupcake, an ice cream or a mystery prize. They’re hoping you will then do something nice for someone else, creating a chain of kindness in the community.

It’s become cool to be kind. “And even within this group – we’re all much nicer to each other than we used to be,” she said. The group meets several times a week and has plenty of projects on the go.

Sticks ’n Stones is a student-led group set up to take positive action to reduce bullying, in particular cyberbullying. Two years on, the 16-strong Wanaka group has taken a broad interpretation of its aims, doing all sorts of things to make the world a better place. “Promoting kindness will lead to a chain reaction in the community and online,” group member Max Hall explains. “Rather than saying don’t do this or don’t do that online, we’re encouraging people to be nice to each other, and that

Join our Christmas food bank drive NAOISE WOLSEY Wanaka Sun With the festive season just around the corner, The Wanaka Sun is getting ready for its Christmas Food Bank Drive. The eighth annual Wanaka Sun Christmas Food Bank Drive will be held on Sunday December 20 and we’re urging the whole community to get involved. Community Networks uses the donations to make up their Christmas hampers, which they deliver to local families in need. The donations also help top up the food bank which is needed
throughout the year. Non-perishable foods, meat products, vegetables and fun holiday foods are all welcome additions to the hampers and other day-to-day items are great for stocking up the food bank. The first ever food bank drive was held in 2008 when Wanaka Sun owners Aaron and Nikki Heath discovered the food bank at the Community Networks office was almost empty in the lead up to Christmas. They only had a few days to let the locals know about the collection, but were still swamped with donations. Since then The Wanaka Sun
has organised a food bank drive every year and received help from some amazing local volunteer collectors and drivers. The emergency services, including Wanaka Police, Wanaka St Johns, St Johns cadets and the fire crews from Wanaka, Luggate and Hawea, have also been a huge help each year. Their sirens are essential to the success of the food drive, letting everyone know the collectors are coming. Collections around Wanaka, Hawea and Luggate will begin at 5pm on Sunday December 20. If you can spare a few hours to help collect or sort please contact Nikki on 027 2467835.
Sticks ‘n Stones tackles cyber bullying Continued from page 1 to be in his new documentary series, The Hard Stuff, which screens next year. In the discussion Sticks ’n Stones members explained the concept of FOMO (fear of missing out) in relation to their generation and new technology. They said while social media is addictive and can be a time waster, it is not all bad. It has lots of social benefits and is entertaining, inspiring and educational. Sticks’n Stones then explained to the adults how they as parents can help their students: “Children need to feel liked because it increases their self-esteem,” they said. “To achieve this without them spending long hours on social
media, you can organise days when friends can come over, have time restrictions for being online and boost their selfesteem by encouraging them to do what they are good at, so they utilize their time in a positive way. “We’re not suggesting you wrap your child in cotton wool, but a certain amount of support is necessary to protect your child online. Make sure your child knows that you are there to help and that there are support groups like Youthline if they would prefer to receive support anonymously.” Pretty smart advice from a group of mainly 14 year olds. Sticks ’n Stones is a group going places, and this was acknowledged last week when

The Wanaka Sun is proud to support Community Networks Wanaka
it won a commendation at the Trustpower Community Awards. The Wanaka group is one of five Sticks ’n Stones groups in Central Otago schools. Together they have just won $30,000 from Jetstar’s Flying Start Programme. Half will be used for five members to attend an anti-bullying conference in Melbourne next year and the rest for the groups to design and promote an antibullying board game and app. The Wanaka group is managed by MAC staff member Carol Bradley-Simpson. “In my 23 years’ teaching this is the most exciting thing I’ve been involved with. What this group is achieving is amazing.”
Easter Sunday trading moves step closer NAOISE WOLSEY Wanaka Sun Easter trading laws which have meant Wanaka shops cannot legally operate on Easter Sunday may soon be a thing of the past. A bill, which would give local councils the ability to decide on Easter Sunday trading, passed its first reading in Parliament last Tuesday. Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean said she was delighted that Easter Sunday trading moved a step closer last week. “I’m relieved and delighted that the bill, which allows councils to decide if shops can open on Easter Sunday, passed its first reading in Parliament on Tuesday night,” said Jacqui. “A conscience vote saw National,
NZ First, ACT and United Future supporting the bill. The count was 75 in favour and 45 opposed. Labour and the Greens opposed and the Maori Party split its vote, one in favour and one against. “This bill is a great solution for Easter trading, giving businesses the freedom to open and meet their customer’s needs, while protecting shop staff who cannot be compelled to work.” Jacqui said the bill would give local authorities and their communities the right to work out what’s best for their area around Easter Sunday trading. “It gives choice and flexibility and for our smaller tourist towns around the region it gives them the opportunity to open at Easter and meet the needs of visitors and tourists to their area,” she said.

How to make a difference over the holidays November is a time of anticipation at Community Networks. We’ve finished our September School Holiday Club programme, which has resulted in some fabulous new artwork to decorate the office, and like so many others we are starting to think about Christmas. Christmas at Community Networks means making up Christmas hampers for those in need in the community. The Wanaka Sun Christmas Food Bank Drive is being held on Sunday December 20. When you hear the truck sirens that Sunday evening don’t forget to dash out to the road with any foods that may help a family celebrate Christmas or restock our local foodbank for the upcoming year. We also collect cash donations and toys
for children (please label with the age and gender). If you are able to donate, some of the things that are most helpful for hampers include: • non-perishable holiday food – for example crackers, biscuits, chips, relishes, cranberry or mint sauces and gravy; • meat and meat products such as frozen chooks, salami, bacon (we have freezer storage for these items); • longer lasting vegetables potatoes, carrots, onions and the like; • fun holiday food – mince pies, Christmas cake, candy canes, shortbread etc. And as families feel the pinch at Christmas, there is often a bit more stress on our food bank. We try to alleviate pressure by providing
some day-to-day things like: • jars of pasta sauce, pasta and rice;canned fish; • eggs; • kids’ lunchbox snacks; • toilet paper To date this year we have given out 148 food parcels. Thanks to the generosity of our Wanaka community, we are well stocked with canned fruit, vegetables, beans and spaghetti. We are grateful to receive all donations, and particularly items of a kind listed above. If you find yourself in a tight spot, please come in or call Community Networks to discuss those services that are available and may be of assistance to you.

Armistice Day remembered NAOISE WOLSEY Wanaka Sun A biplane flyover followed by two minutes of silence marked the beginning of Wanaka’s Armistice Day commemorations yesterday. A number of people gathered at Wanaka’s cenotaph yesterday to remember Armistice Day.
New Zealand Defence Force Major Ian Piercy was guest speaker at the commemoration and paid tribute to those who served, are currently serving and those who have given their lives for military services. He also honoured families and friends who had suffered losses. Constable Mike Thomas joined Major Piercy to lay a
wreath at the foot of the war memorial and Wanaka’s Paul Tamati led the singing of the national anthem. Two minutes’ silence from 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month is marked each year to recognise the time an armistice was signed in 1918, which marked the start of the end of World War 1.

Residents call for more cycle ways not parking meters GLENDA TURNBULL Wanaka Sun The Wanaka Community Board met to consider feedback received on Wanaka parking options yesterday, November 11, and heard from five submitters. The council received 170 submissions, with only five in support of pay and display parking meters in the town centre. John Walker said: “I appreciate that the submission is not a poll, but the overwhelming number of people are opposed to parking meters. “There was such an over-
whelming number in opposition that the Community Board would really be going out on a limb to support this. Pay and display in a tourist town does not have any place within the village structure of Wanaka.” John went on to say that Lakeside Terrace should give priority to cyclists and walkers, not more parking. Community Board Chairwoman Rachel Brown said: “We do not have an attachment to any of these options, but it was put out as a discussion paper. Some people are saying the parking is dire. We do not say we are going
to have pay and display parking. It is just a discussion and it is time to have a discussion. It is really only an option.” Rachel said that the parking discussion is not an isolated issue. The foreshore plan will address the issue of Lakeside Terrace. “It is more integrated than it looks.” Deborah Kolb was in support of pay and display parking meters, although she hasn’t had an issue with parking since she moved here in 2001. She was concerned that local workers have somewhere to park. She proposed that Wanaka
ratepayers were assigned two parking stickers annually, so that they didn’t have to pay for parking in the CBD. “I live in Riverside Park and can see big development in the years to come. I would strongly support people visiting our community contributing to it by paying for parking. “If you are in a tourist town you pay to park. I do not think that a tourist would be deterred or would have any hesitation to pay.” Quentin Smith and Loris King both proposed that an option could be for a parking building to be built in the future to help alleviate congestion in the CBD.
Councillor Ella Lawton wanted Wanaka to encourage people to use alternative ways to get to town. Simon Guthrie said he believed that the expansion of cycleways and walkways would be a long-term solution to the problem. Simon suggested that instead of spending $100,000 on parking meters, the council could spend that money on expanding cycleways. “The council could buy 100 bikes and have them at cycle hubs at a few key points around Wanaka. Locals and tourists could use the bikes instead of using their cars.” The Board has begun its deliberation over the submissions.

Last year Melanie Craig Design took out the NKBA Kitchen Design of the Year 2014, but was ineligible to enter this year as Melanie was on the panel of judges. “It was quite interesting to see the workings behind the awards,” Melanie said. “I got the call in July inviting us to enter the TIDA masterclass kitchen award with our renovation of a Southland farmhouse kitchen.” The kitchen is constructed from steel and lacquer and was part of a renovation which her team liked working with because they had to work with existing elements.

Staff celebrate sixth birthday
Bowels are something we don't talk about very often. However, bowel cancer is NZs most commonly diagnosed cancer, killing more New Pip Clearwater Zealanders each BSc, MBChB, Dip OMG, year than breast and DCH, MRNZCGP prostate cancers combined. Early symptoms might include bleeding with a bowel motion, or a change in bowel habit. ie. a sustained trend for several weeks of becoming more loose or frequent than you were before! However, a temporary change in the bowel habit is very common and there are a few things you can do to keep your bowels healthy. Eating fibre rich foods, such as wholegrains, bran, oats, brown rice, legumes and vegetables can keep the bowel motions soft and bulky. Some people use a fibre supplement, such as metamucil or psyllium husk, to provide extra bulk. Eating fruit, especially kiwifruit and prunes, can keep constipation away. Aim for 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables each day. Drinking enough fluid is important, especially in the summer months. If you get dehydrated, your body will absorb extra water from the bowel, leaving behind things hard like rabbit droppings! Finally, keeping moving and active can help encourage healthy bowels.

“We’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to get involved in this important process,” said District Plan Manager Matthew Paetz. Council staff are now processing and summarising the decisions requested through submissions and will publicly notify them for further submissions in December. Hearings are scheduled to start in February 2016.

Local historian publishes story of Hawea CAROLINE HARKER Wanaka Sun Hawea historian Barbara Chinn has just published a history of the Hawea district, called A Pretty Good Place to Live. She said her favourite part of the research was discovering how much Lake Hawea was used by early Maori. “They never lived here permanently but they came here a lot,” Barbara told the Wanaka Sun. “Lake Hawea and Makarora became the nexus of Maori routes to the West Coast. They were going there to collect pounamu/ greenstone.” In her book Barbara refers to a paper written by Atholl Anderson in 1982 for the Polynesian Society. She writes: “The report on Manuhaea [a Maori settlement at the Neck] emphasises its significance as a sacred place; not simply a centre of mahinga kai/foodgathering trails … Manuhaea was the centre of a wananga, or school of learning, where tohunga/learned people were taught the history and whakapapa/genealogies of their ancestors. Manuhaea was also in a strategic defensive position, from where both lakes could be monitored, thus warning of anybody approaching by water and potentially threatening the food stores and the sacred nature of the place.” Barbara said early Euro-
pean explorers depended on Maori guides for many things including route finding and learning how to live off the land so they didn’t have to carry all their food with them. “The early surveyors were very interesting, really tough people,” she said. James McKerrow was a favourite. “He surveyed the Matukituki Valley and corrected mistakes made by earlier surveyors. And he surveyed Lake Hawea by boat because there were no roads.” Barbara said she decided to write the book after the death of local identity John Turnbull. “I realised the second generation European memory was going to be lost if it wasn’t recorded. And I wanted something to do.” She has dedicated her book to John. “I knew him well and learned a lot from him working on the foreshore and in Forest and Bird. He did a lot of inspections of high country stations and wrote reports for tenure review. He was a retired farmer so he had a balanced outlook.” Barbara said while a lot had been written about the district by families who had been here for generations, she has tried to put it all together in one book. “I’m bound to have missed stuff, and I‘ll hear about that.” Barbara has always had a passion for history. She was a school teacher before
The Informant
In this edition I would like to cover off some of the recent changes that are afoot with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and it’s presence within the business community. Increased Government funding of the IRD’s Audit and Investigation unit was bolstered by $33 million following the 2010 budget. This extra resource resulted in additional tax revenue generated of $258 million. At just over $7 dollars returned for each dollar spent appears to be worthwhile exercise on the Governments behalf. Recently the 2015 budget announced a further $29 million of resources being directed to the IRD Investigations unit. This additional resource is expected to endow Government coffers with a further $420 million of revenue over the next five years. Specifically the Inland Revenue is targeting property transactions, the hidden economy and aggressive tax planning structures. Most relevant to Wanaka taxpayers will be the first two components. Aggressive tax structures tend to be more the domain of larger corporate entities. If you are wondering how active the IRD is the answer is “quite”. Presently the IRD makes approx. 600 convictions per annum for evasion type offences that are more serious than non-filing of returns. In addition there are approximately 400 further convictions per annum for employee related of-

It includes a fascinating collection of historic photographs and maps, and a comprehensive biography of books, online sources and interviews Barbara has done with many district identities.

becoming a tutor of History and Asian Studies at Canterbury University, and then a lecturer on Modern Indian History at Otago University. A Pretty Good Place to Live covers the history of Hawea from 500 million years ago to the present day. It has chapters on the environment, pre-European history, early European visitors, high country runs, the dam, tourism and the many institutions in the area from Guardians of Lake Hawea to
fences. Bear in mind these are convictions solely and do not include investigation activity that results in extra audit reviews without convictions. Prosecutions will be the tip of the iceberg as far as activity is concerned. Until recently IRD audit activity has been more focused on selective reviews of client’s tax returns. These have been selected from specific data contained within a client’s tax return. Isolated items will be chosen for review and the IRD may move to a full audit based on the outcome of this review work. With these audits the IRD are looking at items such as large travel, entertainment, interest and repair claims. They are also interested in large personal expenses and high debt levels. More often than not these reviews do not lead to a full audit. Invoices and supporting documentation together with relevant explanations will be furnished to the IRD and that is quite often the end of the review. This is now no longer the situation. The IRD have recently taken new audit initiatives by introducing random full audit checks to ensure taxpayer compliance and maintain integrity of the tax system. The key here these are random so any small business can now expect to get a full audit at any time. I talked to an IRD investigator recently and they want taxpayers to be aware of this new regime to encourage compliance. The IRD believe that there is a lot of non-compliance at present. With regard to property activity the IRD are focusing

CRIME LINE Driver faces court after crash By Senior Constable Ian HENDERSON As we progress into summer, local police are targeting speed on rural roads, seatbelts and cyclists riding without helmets. It’s been study week for the MAC students and exams are starting, so keep speeds down outside schools and when you see the school bus stationary with hazard lights flashing. This week has seen a few things going on for police. Here are just a few incidents that we’ve been dealing with. The week started with a local driver suspended for excessive demerit points. On November 5, Wanaka Search and Rescue members and police were involved in the rescue of two paraglider pilots on Mt Roy. One was taken to Dunstan Hospital with a head injury. At about the same time of day, police attended a single-vehicle crash at the corner of Ballantyne Road and Golf Course Road after a van failed to take the corner when heading north and rolled before sliding on its side down Ballantyne Road. Fortunately the sole occupant only suffered a cut elbow. It is a busy intersection with pedestrians using both the golf course crossing and the footpath and serious injury could have resulted. The driver appeared in court on Monday. A theft of mail was reported this week. The contents were a credit-type card that was used in Christchurch in October, so enquiries are underway to locate the thief. On November 8 a local woman reported some disturbing contents on a social media site and has taken precautions so it would not happen to her again. A reminder of the dangers of disclosing too much private information on social media sites to strangers. If you have any information pertaining to the incidents above please call the station on 03 443 7272 to speak to an officer. To give information anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Have a safe week.
on this with some intent. I have recently seen letters issued listing numerous property purchases and sales that a taxpayer has transacted together with a “Please explain” the intent behind each transaction and how each was treated for tax. These reviews are spanning back a good number of years sometimes as far back as 12 years ago. The level of detail they are exploring with these property transaction reviews is quite high. The last type of activity relates to “Hidden economy”. There have been a number of IRD broadcasts about this over recent years. Although we have seen some activity in this sector I believe we will see some more in the near future. The lesson for the minute appears to be that taxpayers should be vigilant about filing the correct returns and on time. Not doing so may find yourself being caught out. The good news is we have been successful in dealing with the IRD and negotiated good outcomes in the past. By all means feel free to contact us if you need assistance. Please remember that this information is a general guide and more specific advice can be given by contacting one of our offices.

The grass could be greener GLENDA TURNBULL Wanaka Sun Allenby Park will look a bit greener this summer thanks to a group of locals who have banded together to water the park. Quentin Smith has about 10 people in the community who have offered to help irrigate the park over summer. Two or three years ago when the council did the extra work on Kelly’s Flat they ceased all watering and care of Allenby Park with the exception of quite irregular mowing. The condition of the park has deteriorated significantly, especially over the summer months, when the park gets very dry. In 2007 the park was in great condition with lush green grass. Quentin is hoping that the park can be returned to its previous condition. Quentin said that he had approached the Council on numerous occasions to make a request for service, but didn’t get anywhere and he was concerned that the park would deteriorate further with flowering broom and rabbit holes developing on the park. “We think that they have dropped the ball and I think that they are operating out of their own management plan for that reserve. They have completely abandoned it because it no longer suits their purposes,”
Quentin said. He decided to do something about it himself and a K-line irrigation system funded by Allenby Farms was now operating on the park. “Initially when we installed the irrigator on the field last week they said we couldn’t use it due to Health and Safety issues,” Quentin said. Wanaka Community Board Chair Rachel Brown said that Council staff will be meeting with the group this week to discuss the ongoing maintenance of the park. “There will be a Memorandum of Understanding drawn up to cover the ongoing maintenance of the park by the community group. “This is usual practice for the Council as it outlines what maintenance the Council will carry out and deals with any Health and Safety issues that may arise due to volunteers carrying out work on the park,” Rachel said. Michelle Poole, Communications Manager at QLDC, said the Council and the Community Board are both supportive of the irrigation for Allenby Park being provided by the community. “We’re working on how to manage that efficiently and safely. The Council will also be controlling the broom on the park and filling in rabbit holes,” Michelle said.

Wanaka bartender has big boots to fill Local bartender and manager of Lalaland Lounge Bar Wanaka, James Crinson, has made the top three of the Bacardi Legacy National finals. Bacardi Legacy is a worldwide competition focused on creating a cocktail with a legacy that can stand the test of time, much like the Daiquiri and the Mojito. Over 150 New Zealand applicants entered this prestigious competition, with the top 16 being flown to Wellington to battle their way to the top three. As part of the top three, James’s task is to create his own legacy and gain as much worldwide exposure for his cocktail, The Te Anaka, as possible. James has lived in Wanaka for the past six years and says it has given him the opportunity to master his trade and be a part of a very special community. This is where he drew his inspiration for The Te Anaka. Te Anaka is a corruption of Oanaka, meaning “place of Anaka”, Anaka being the name of an early Maori chief of the Wanaka district. James said: “I want The Te Anaka to showcase what Wanaka has to offer. My hope is that my cocktail will help put us on the world map and continue to push the boundaries of the cocktail industry.” The final will be held in Auckland on February 22, and James is hoping to win. If he is crowned the national winner, he will represent New Zealand in the global finals in San Francisco to compete against the winners of 36 other countries. Last year a New Zealand winner came second in the global competition, so he has big boots to fill.
Good news for Wastebusters STAFF REPORTER Wanaka Sun Wanaka Wastebusters (WWB) has had a solid financial year, in particular in the shop where revenue was up more than 30 percent, according to board of directors chair Sally Battson. She was speaking at the AGM which was held concurrently with the Friends of Wanaka Wastebusters (FOWW) AGM on Tuesday night. WW’s net surplus for social enterprise was $54,042, and operating revenues was $1,159,579. Sally said the company’s expansion into Alexandra had been seriously impacted by the fire at the Alexandra site, but financially the company was secure. “While this has been a set-back, we do not anticipate major adverse financial outcomes, given that the site was well insured and the insurance claims have been accepted,” she said. More good news came at the meeting with general manager Sue Coutts announcing Rhythm and Alps was paying its outstanding debts to Wastebusters the following day. Sue also acknowledged WB communications manager Gina Dempster’s Unpackit campaign which has been credited as the catalyst for the introduction of fully recycling PET meat trays in supermarkets. Polystyrene fruit, vegetable and meat trays had received the worst packaging award during the Unpackit campaign. FOWW appointed two new directors to the board of Wanaka Wastebusters (WWB) at the meeting - Maggie Lawton and Jan
Friends of Wanaka Wastebusters committee members (from left) Jo McArthur, Florence Micoud, Rachel Brown (chair) and Diana Hickey at the AGM on Tuesday evening.
Caunter. FOWW was formed in 2013 when WW became a limited liability company. FOWW holds the shares in Wastebusters on behalf of the community, appoints directors and ensures the guidelines of Wastebusters are upheld. FOWW is currently on a membership drive. For $10 people can become a lifetime member and receive a $5 gift voucher redeemable at Wastebusters. “That’s a pretty good deal,” FOWW chair Rachel Brown said. Diana Hickey was elected to the FOWW committee at the meeting joining Rachel, Jo McArthur and Florence Micoud. She was on the original committee in 2000 and had the job of cold-calling businesses with a questionnaire to identify which of their waste materials could be reused and recycled. WW general manager Sue Coutts said the main focus in Wanaka for the upcoming year is developing and implementing a
full site plan to set Wastebusters up for the future. “We’ve been looking at traffic flows, storage, working areas and staff facilities. Our goal is to make the site safer and easier to use for everybody, staff and customers. Everyone is looking forward to getting past the planning stage and onto the moving and building stage.” Sue paid tribute to the commitment and passion of the staff, saying they were what makes Wastebusters work. “They keep things running day in day out, in the heat of summer and on those freezing winter below zero days. It’s not a glamorous job but we all go home at night knowing we’re doing something positive for our place and our people.” Barbara Chinn resigned from the board of directors and the two new directors will join Sally Battson, Nigel Perkins, Peter Robinson, Caroline Harker and Nikki Holmes on the board.

INBRIEF QLDC’s Harbourmaster Marty Black is asking people to think twice before setting off distress flares in non-emergency situations, after a fruitless two-hour search on Lake Wakatipu overnight. While not speculating on who was responsible for sparking the callout, he said people might not realise the knock-on effects of what might seem like “a bit of fun” letting off a flare. “The coastguard and a helicopter pilot were out for almost two hours, searching for a boat in trouble on the lake in the middle of the night. That’s a big ask of volunteers who have already done a full day’s work and have to be up again in the morning.” On top of their efforts, the cost of the helicopter search would have been over $4000, Mr Black said.

Developer to predict our future CAROLINE HARKER Wanaka Sun
Kea Watching Over Lake Wanaka, by Anna Reid (née Gordon,) features on the February page of the calendar. Anna was born in Cardrona and now has a printmaking and painting studio in Dowling Street, Dunedin.
CAROLINE HARKER Wanaka Sun There is a new Upper Clutha calendar out which would make an ideal Christmas present. It features artworks of the district and profits will go to St John Wanaka for two carry chairs. “This will enable the St John officers to extricate people from buildings and places where stretchers cannot be easily used,” said Wanaka Upper Clutha Lions member Pam Kane. Pam has put the calendar together along with Betty George (convenor), Ann Saunders and Marianne Roulston. Their aim was to showcase a variety of styles of artwork featured in paintings of scenes
around the district. Local artists featured in the calendar include watercolourist Dave Attwell, Year 13 MAC student Kim Robertson (daughter of the late Bob), long-time Lake Hawea resident and self-taught oil painter Shona Lorimer, Queensberry-based Esther Dexter and Albert Town’s Susie Ruddenklau. The last two years the Lions have produced calendars featuring historic photographs of the district. The calendars generally sell out and are available from many outlets including the library, Wanacare Pharmacy at the Medical Centre and Le Jardin Garden Centre in Aubrey Road.
Remarkables Park developer Alastair Porter will discuss long-term integrated planning at the Shaping Our Future (SOF) AGM in Wanaka next week. Alastair is a member of the SOF steering group. He will present growth predictions for the Queenstown Lakes District, particularly for Wanaka and Queenstown, and discuss what he sees as the opportunities and challenges that growth will generate. “I’m sure the topic will be of interest to many Wanaka residents,” SOF executive Louise Vicente said. “Integrated planning is an approach that considers multiple elements when planning, for example considering the effect of a new residential development on roading and traffic.” All district residents and ratepayers are invited to the AGM, which is being held on Monday (November 16) at 6.30pm at the Lake Wanaka Centre. SOF will be appointing new steering group members at the meeting. SOF was the overall winner at the Trustpower Community Awards held in Wanaka last week.

John’s friend and former business partner Vergne Wilson (Southern Land) said John has worked in the profession for more than 40 years, with 20 years’ service on the management committee of Consulting Surveyors of New Zealand. “To be recognised as a Fellow is a very proud achievement, with only one or two such awards being granted each year,” Vergne said. “The surveying profession currently comprises more than 600 licensed surveyors throughout the country.” Originally from the Waikato, John has now made Wanaka his home and practices on his own behalf for selected clients. According to the Meridan website, he is a principal for Meridian Land Development Consultants. “John Carter has been a principal in a large surveying practice that started in the Waikato with six staff and expanded over a 20-year period to include 65 staff in offices in Te Awamutu, Hamilton, Auckland and Wanaka,” the website states. “Throughout that period he worked on land development projects, cadastral survey work, large-scale gas pipeline easements, Maori Land partitions, topographical surveys, GIS data

TEXT MESSAGES Great to see common sense prevailing with the angle parking along Brownston St. Much needed parking and looks great! Don’t use Tarras school grounds as a picnic spot. As public toilets now closed the school grounds are now used as a toilet. Thanks to the C.O.D.C. refusing to upgrade the toilets. Will let you know C.O.D.C. when the first child gets infected. Re rent issues letter in last week. Peter Marshall needs to get over himself. It’s not people like him who offer the real value in this town, which by the way is not all about money! It’s those lowly paid people serving you your latte Mr Marshall, and others like them, who give life to our town. Shame on you Wanaka Sun for publishing his letter Ignorant and arrogant comments by Peter Marshall re: rent issues. So Wanaka is only for the rich and the elite? Maybe all the “low-skill based” workers should leave town, see how the town copes. It’s people with attitudes like yours that I would suggest this town doesn’t need! In response to Peter Marshall’s letter last week - who will clean the motel rooms, collect our rubbish if all the low skilled leave town as you suggest? When was last time Peter Marshall lived on a minimum wage and zero hour contract?

All Wanaka needs is a Zoo As trust fund babies and holiday makers on reverse mortgages fill Wanaka, it’s good to see how the town provides excellent services for them - medical and dental, real estate shopping windows, organic ingredients, great coffee - gluten free baking. The workers do a great job. Many bilingual. Now all Wanaka needs is a zoo. Featuring an animal that can eat restaurant scraps and clean its own pen. Something not nocturnal. And not expensive. And has less skills than a panda. But rare in a socialist country...perhaps a capitalist pig. And in the winter, when the pig flies, the zoo can double as accommodation. S. Yates Lake Hawea
Horrified by greedy mentality As a house owner living in Wanaka for 25 years, I am horrified and ashamed of the mentality of greed and contempt illustrated by Peter Marshall’s letter last week! Many of the so-called “low skilled” house seekers are very well educated (they would never talk like Peter about others) and if not, it is not the subject! Yes I believe that the market value of real estate is inflated to a ridiculous proportion, based on greed. If all the “low skilled” were to leave this town, all businesses would close down. As a community we need to cater for the needs of these people. Jacou Vettard Wanaka
The backbone of our town Every town needs a wide range of skilled people to keep it running – it’s economic common sense that everyone should understand. In recent times, it has become harder for the so-called “low-skilled” (read also low-paid taxpayer) workers in Wanaka to make ends meet. Long-term locals are often competing for jobs and accommodation with transient seasonal workers, who, for a short time, are prepared to work for less and accept lower housing standards. But if all the “low-skilled” workers in Wanaka gave up and left town, who will make and serve your coffee/beer/wine and eggs benedict, mow your lawns, sell fuel, pack groceries, clean toilets, drive the taxi, look after the tourists, and keep this town looking good? I would also dare to suggest that those are the people who actually DO the most community and volunteer work. Many people here who are working at “low-skill” jobs are actually over-qualified, but do it for personal, family, or health reasons, or because there is just no work available in their field. Wanaka is lucky to have people who do these jobs despite the high cost of living here, or that they are over-qualified. They are a huge value to our community, and are part of the backbone of our town, and we should applaud them, particularly those who choose to live here permanently. People who make disrespectful, elitist comments about them are biting the hand that feeds them. Karen Marinkovic, Wanaka

Response to Facebook fury Now I have your attention. I wish that everything we tried to communicate about could get discussion going so fast. Pity that we have to put out polarising views to get people going on important issues like costs, housing and jobs. It’s an interesting debate - looking at what the job opportunities in Wanaka are, versus, the comments that there are not enough of any jobs to match a particular skill set. I’ve heard both sides. On one side are those who are trying to get a job in a particular area. On the other, there are the employers who say there are not enough people with the right skill set or willing to work certain jobs. Recent examples from the employer perspective come from a couple of trade guys. One plumber has tried to get an apprentice and found absolutely no interest. Another employer in the service industry tells me he can’t get people to work a full day. The only way he can staff his jobs is to run shifts of half days. The mismatch between what jobseekers are saying and what employers are saying needs some work. Hence my comments designed to get people riled up and talking. Yes there are issues, but moaning about them without action doesn’t solve them. Things like affordable housing can’t make the real difference that is needed - stimulating business activity to create jobs that allow people to earn more. Last year some of you may remember the campaign to get Wanaka on the Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) roll out. This we achieved through a small group giving hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and time to achieve this. So we now have a fibre link, the CBD has fibre, as have some of the subdivisions. This group raised $700,000 to get this done. On the back of that program was the drive for the “100/100”. This was to create 100 jobs with $100,000 value. Out of that The Cell was born. One programme running in The Cell right now is called Co-Starters. It is getting a very favourable response. All of this has been run largely by volunteers that were associated with the original Gigatown campaign. Our small town is growing at such a rate that growing pains are to be expected. One of those is the pressure on housing. My comments on the housing issue stem from my belief that you are responsible for your own destiny, and should not rely on local or central government or people perceived to be wealthy to fix things. The comments in the Wanaka Sun suggesting that people should open their holiday homes for rental won’t solve the issue - we need a more robust and comprehensive solution than that. RE the comments about skills. If you come to Wanaka wanting to get a job as an anaesthetist you probably will struggle to get a job doing that. However, jobs are there and they may not meet your exact expectations but that’s life in a small town. Maybe with further development we can improve that situation. I have not read the comments on the Upper Clutha Trading Post facebook group but I understand I’m described as an arrogant, ignorant moron. Maybe I am. I started my belief in being responsible for your own destiny at the age of 12 with my first business. I make no apology for working hard and making something of myself. Inflaming debate in this way might not be in everyone’s comfort zone but it’s one way to get people thinking and maybe out of that we can create some innovation on the scale we need. Well that’s enough for me - it has stretched all of my literary abilities. I’m off down to Ali Babas to see if they can get a short balding head of hair to look like Donald Trump’s comb over.

Nest 8 has hatched three of its four eggs and, just like the birds in nest 1, one egg has been left unhatched. I am not at all surprised, simply because every single nest I have followed has always had one infertile egg! Why would you lay an egg that is never going to hatch? After all there are costs to laying eggs, a cost borne entirely by the female. And that brings me back to the costs and benefits of asynchronous hatching and a consequent age hierarchy in a brood. Many species of birds deliberately reduce brood size (obligate brood reduction). In some cases parents participate in that process, in others they seem indifferent to the behaviour and fate of their offspring, particularly when siblicide (the killing of an infant by its siblings) is involved. One of the more perplexing examples of brood reduction
I have witnessed is that of the south polar skua. They lay two eggs, two to three days apart, and immediately begin incubation when the first egg is laid. When the second egg hatches, the newly hatched chick is attacked by its older sibling with the inevitable death of the second chick. I have only known of one pair of Skua to have both chicks survive and that was an extraordinary event. The survivor was called Napoleon. More on him next week. But back to grebes. I think that there are advantages to grebes having an infertile egg, whether accidental or by design. In the meantime nests 3, 5 and 13 should have hatched their eggs by the end of this week.

Hawea Flat School christens cricket pitch
Action from earlier Highlands 101 events.

Gearing up for Highlands race weekend Motorsport fans will be flocking to Cromwell this weekend for the Highlands 101 race meeting at Highlands Motorsport Park. Drivers from across Australia and New Zealand are travelling to Highlands for the venue’s biggest motor racing event of the year running from Friday to Sunday, November 13-15. But race drivers from around the South Island will outnumber other competitors. “As you’d expect, it’s South Island competitors who make up the bulk of the entries for the three main race categories, despite the large number of Australian GT Championship contestants travelling across the Tasman for this big weekend of racing,” said Highlands’ general manager Mike Sentch. The weekend’s feature race, the Highlands 101 endurance race, will see five South Islanders on the starting grid including Wanaka-Dunedin pairing Allan Dippie and Scott O’Donnell in a Porsche GT3. The event’s family-friendly entertainment includes freestyle motocross demonstrations, a new lap record attempt from superbike racer Sloan Frost, stunt motorcycle rider Nic Kroeze, and activities for children, such as the spider web climbing frame, vertical bungy and a bouncy castle.

GLENDA TURNBULL Wanaka Sun The Hawks and Honey Badgers cricket team contested the first game to christen the new cricket pitch at Hawea Flat School. “There was no pitch at the school prior to getting it installed and I was very keen to get something in place to help develop cricket in the area,” Hawea Flat board member and coach Andy Simmers said. The pitch was funded with support from the Contact Epic Trust, NZ Cricket, Otago Cricket, NZ Community Trust and Skycity Queenstown.

Andy said that cricket games will be held most weekends over the summer at Hawea Flat School, thanks to the installation of a new cricket pitch. “There have been more than 100 kids sign up for the summer with teams in all age groups from Years 5 to 8. It should be a great asset for the school,” said Andy. “We had great support from parents from the school that assisted with the installation of the cricket pitch.” The opening match was a close affair won by the Honey Badgers with lots of parent supporters turning up to watch. The game was followed by a barbeque.
Hard Case In it together
From small beginnings
Snowballing success
No man (or woman) is an island, they say – and that was a key theme at the recent launch of Aspiring Law’s new communitybased business initiative, BizClub.
So, a few years down the track, the seed that was planted when we set up Aspiring Law is well and truly germinating – and we’re confident that it’s going to continue to flourish into something pretty special for our business, and wider, community.
A common question as I mingled at the launch was how BizClub fits with other business groups. For starters, BizClub isn’t here to crash on anyone else’s parade. BizClub is a support tool for all – we’ve designed it to be nimble, fluid and proactive. Our goal is to dovetail into and, where helpful, partner with other business-focused groups, to add value, support and strength whenever we can.
We were rapt with the turnout, not just by way of numbers, but with the diversity of businesses, both in terms of size and nature, represented at the kick-off. Lots of people are as excited as we are about what BizClub’s set to bring to the table for our community. Probably what struck me most as I came away from the launch was the enthusiasm and positivity that filled the room, together with the fact that so many could see the potential for what BizClub can inspire and help achieve. One of the most consistent threads of feedback we received is that running your own venture can be a lonely business. That got us to thinking about how we could do something innovative to give back to the community that we live in. Even in a bustling metropolitan area, heading a business – particularly a small or medium-sized venture – can leave even the strongest feeling alone and isolated, weighted down as if carrying the proverbial world on thinlystretched shoulders. In places like our neck of the woods, it can feel even more so, miles away from big city resources and support.
THE WANAKA SUN
If you’ve missed the BizClub startup memo up to now, and you’re in business or looking to be, it’s not too late to jump on board. The more the merrier, we reckon. What does BizClub offer? Members receive a range of seriously meaningful benefits, including a monthly opportunity for free legal advice, exclusive access to tailored seminars and workshops with industry experts, together with regular networking events. There will also be opportunities for business people to showcase their own products and services, as well as brainstorm ideas. BizClub features three packages: Associate, Business and Platinum. As an Associate, members get to trial BizClub’s core goodies absolutely free. The Business and Platinum packages come with a modest admin fee, but we’re covering the cost of everything else to ensure BizClub’s benefits are accessible to all. We’ve already had businesses signing up for the paid packages, keen to take advantage of the added offerings, like free legal audits and key legal templates.
BizClub is all about cohesion and collaboration. We know success doesn’t happen in a bubble. Our theory is: if we can help and encourage businesses, and offer a responsive platform of tools, contacts and support they might not otherwise have, each individual victory that results snowballs and makes for a stronger, more vibrant business community. That can only be fantastic for our community as a whole. I was especially stoked with the feedback to one of BizClub’s significant planks: opportunity for a free monthly legal consultation. Over two decades of practice down the track, I still struggle when a client comes in with an absolute doozy of a problem, and, as we peel back the layers, I can see oh-so-clearly how a little legal advice early on in the critical path would have avoided a whole lot of potholes and, sometimes, gaping chasms. When I ask why a client didn’t seek advice earlier, the common
THURSDAY 12.11.15 - WEDNESDAY 18.11.15
response is they thought it would cost too much, quickly followed by a major wince at the now-glaringly false economy. Well, excuses be gone – members now have up to 30 minutes at absolutely no cost each month to run whatever they like past our legal team. My great hope is, through all the tools and offerings available with BizClub, local businesses will have their houses in order and sensible safety nets in place, so their energy can be channelled on the positive: growth and innovation.
Getting cracking We already have ideas in the pipeline for BizClub’s rollout in 2016, but we’ve kept it deliberately flexible, because it’s super important we get members’ feedback first. We’re looking at breaking 2016 into quarters, with an overarching legal and wider business focus for each. So, over to you – what do you want to learn and achieve next year, and how can we support you? We’ll be going out to our membership in the next week or two to ask just that, and to share some of the ideas we’ve had. We’re also looking at having a major community event further into 2016 – and we’re keen to tailor it for maximum benefit both for our business community, and the wider community at large. Thoughts and ideas welcome. Want to check out more about BizClub, or sign up? Go to our website, www.aspiringlaw.co.nz, click on the BizClub link and you’ll

Kiwi success at Augusta Adventure Fest GLENDA TURNBULL Wanaka Sun
All geared up for World Diabetes Day Multisporter Emily Wilson will be cycling up and down the Treble Cone access road at least five times this Saturday (November 14) to mark World Diabetes Day. The 24-year-old diabetic will tackle the steep seven-kilometre gravel road to raise awareness for the illness and is hoping others will be there to support her by riding with her or just cheering her on. Her goal is to ride the equivalent of Mt Everest’s elevation (8848 metres above sea level). Emily has battled diabetes for over a year and finds it particularly challenging having to watch everything she eats, particularly when she’s racing. The athlete has recently returned to Wanaka after competing in the Augusta Adventure Fest in Australia, where she took second place in the women’s 56km race with a time of 4 hours and 51 minutes.
Simone Maier and Braden Currie stole the show at the Augusta Adventure Fest held last week on November 7. The 56km race was part of the 10th anniversary edition of the event with 1400 competitors taking on a 12.5km coastal run, 1.9km ocean swim, 13km ocean paddle, 26km mountain bike and 2.5km beach run to the finish. Competitors lined up below the imposing Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse – positioned at the most south-westerly point of Australia – to take on the challenging coastal run course. It was a tight race in the women’s field, with Simone winning the event in 4 hours and 38 minutes ahead of compatriot Emily Wilson in 4 hours, 51 minutes.“It’s my first time here and I really enjoyed it. The ocean paddle was a really big challenge for me but the women’s race was really interesting. At the last transition there were four of us there at once and I thought ‘game on’. The atmosphere was great, the volunteers were amazing, the course was really well marked and everyone did a great job. I highly recommend the event,” said Simone Maier. Braden continued his dominance of the event, taking his fourth win in a row. He led the race from the outset and

smashed the competition to finish in a time of 3hrs, 49min. The coveted Trans-Tasman Adventure Racing Trophy was held within the premier race and all eyes were on the Australian and New Zealand competi-
tors. The Australian team fought hard to defend the trophy, however the Kiwis were just too fast around the course. The New Zealand Team of Sam Clark, Hayden Wilde and Simone Maier were very pleased to claim victory.
