Watersports facility under fire
Local group says new building will spoil beauty of lakefront NAOISE WOLSEY Wanaka Sun
he Wanaka Watersports Facility Trust has defended its plans for a new watersports building on the Lake Wanaka foreshore, after a local group launched a campaign to pour cold water on the project. The Wanaka-Hawea Reserves Trust believes the planned watersports building, at the southern end of Roys Bay, will spoil an area of outstanding natural beauty.

area. “When I first came to Wanaka and looked out across the lake I thought it was amazing. The district plan calls it an outstanding natural landscape. It’s a huge asset for locals and visitors and a huge number of people use the area. “There are a number of other potential sites that we believe need to be looked at again. “Once you put one building there you compromise the whole area. It’s the first nail in the coffin,” said Alan. The Wanaka/Hawea Reserves

The trust is made up of Wanaka locals who have lived in the district for more than 10 years. “None of us live overlooking the lake, so it’s not a personal interest thing,” chairman Alan Cutler told The Wanaka Sun. “We don’t want to be seen as knocking the facility. We have nothing against watersports or the rowing club; we just believe it’s the wrong site.” A landscape architect by profession, Alan is particularly aware of the scenic value of the foreshore

Trust has also questioned the size of the proposed watersports facility, saying the 420m2 building would dominate the area.

Wanaka athletes feature in art collection GLENDA TURNBULL Wanaka Sun Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) unveiled the Spirit of Gold® Collection in Auckland last weekend. This innovative project is a unique combination of art and sport. Kiwi artist Amber Gabrielle Stephens has created a set of 12 portraits featuring some of New Zealand’s most high-profile summer and winter Paralympians and Para-Athletes, to showcase the depth of talent across Para-sport in New Zealand. The collection includes London 2012 Paralympic Games medallists
Sophie Pasco, Michael Johnson, Cameron Leslie and Mary Fisher, Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games medallist Corey Peters and World Champion ParaCyclists Emma Foy and Laura Thompson. Three local athletes - Adam Hall, Corey Peters and Carl Murphy - are also featured in the collection. These athletes spend the NZ winter living in Wanaka training at Cardrona with the Cardrona NZ Adaptive Ski & Snowboard Team and at the Snow Sports NZ/ High Performance Sport NZ Resource Centre here in Wanaka. The collection is set to tour
New Zealand for up to 35 weeks, increasing awareness and raising funds to support the New Zealand Paralympic Games team on the road to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the Pyeong Chang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games and to support the growth of Para-Sport in New Zealand. The collection will be auctioned during a planned ‘send-off’ event in June or July 2016 to mark the moment the team leaves for training camps ahead of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, from September 7 – 18, 2016. The collection is set to visit the Queenstown Lakes with dates still to be finalised.
Trust defends new watersports building Continued from page 1 demand for approximately the next 20 years, this is the size that is required. Any smaller and there would almost certainly be a need to increase the size in the near future. This is a facility for all non-motorised watersports ensuring no further buildings will need to be built to support these activities,” said Michael. “Architect Alistair Madill’s concept drawings have been reviewed twice by the Wanaka Urban Design panel and on both occasions have been considered appropriate for the location. Members of the public who have viewed the animation of the building on our website (www.
wanakawatersports.co.nz) have generally been complimentary. We are very aware the site is a privileged one and have treated that privilege with total respect.” However he said this was not a “them or us” situation, and that as the building will be a community asset the trust would do what was best for Wanaka. “This is a community asset being built on a privileged site within a recreation reserve,” said Michael. “We have been transparent with our thoughts, activities and expert reports since inception. We have invited the public and affected parties to meet the trustees on site and this has been ongoing. Ideas and thoughts have been incorpo-

There is still an opportunity for the public to make a submission on it. Some people would like to submit but maybe don’t have the computer skills, and as an organisation we would like to help them communicate their concerns.”

Primary school pupil excluded A seven-year-old boy has been excluded from Wanaka Primary School and all other schools in the area have refused to enrol him. The Otago Daily Times reported this week that the boy, whose family does not wish to be named, was excluded on October 28 after throwing a folder at another pupil and a teacher. The boy’s mother said earlier incidents at the school included the boy stabbing another pupil with a pencil and being suspended twice for disruptive behaviour and biting staff. The mother said the two other primary schools in the area had been contacted to see if the boy could be enrolled there, but both had said no. A statement from Wanaka Primary School board of trustees chairman Andrew Howard said: The Wanaka Primary School Board of Trustees was recently required to consider the suspension of a student. It was decided to exclude the student. This was not a decision taken lightly and all proper procedures were followed throughout. “The matter was considered in committee and as such all matters are confidential. The Ministry of Education is now consulting with us to find a satisfactory solution to provide education for the student. We are very keen to find a solution that ensures this child’s future success.”

Five flags flying at campground GLENDA TURNBULL Wanaka Sun Locals can view the five alternative flag designs voters will be choosing from at the Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Park. Queenstown Lakes District councillor Lyal Cocks arranged for them to be raised, with sets of the flags also flying in downtown Queenstown and at the events centre in Frankton. “It’s not easy finding somewhere to fly all the flags – very
few places have five flagpoles all together,” Michele Poole, QLDC Council communication manager said. “The council doesn’t have a stand on an alternative flag, but we are keen to ensure that there is a good public discussion, so we’re helping by finding places for the flags to fly where people can see what they look like when they’re hoisted.” For those wanting to take part in the first referendum on the New Zealand flag, today is
Creating opportunities Things are really ramping up at Kahu Youth this month. We always try to give young people a voice within the community, and to give them a chance to join in, influence and create a whole range of opportunities they’d otherwise not have access to. Tonight is another of our Bluemoon events, our series of for youth by youth activities that promote fun without alcohol. This time it’s a cinema night at our good friends Cinema Paradiso. Plus, this week we’ve got another ‘Takin’ over Amigos’ going on. Once again we’ve got a great group of young people taking over the running of the restaurant and once again Nikki and Waz are generously donating half of all the money directly to us! The last night is

We’re also very excited to announce the launch of the Upper Clutha region’s brandspanking new youth council too. We’ve been meeting with the gang for the last few weeks as we all get to know each other and already the energy and drive coming out of them is something else. They will introduce themselves to you all soon - watch this space. Lastly, but by no means leastly, we’ve got our youth volunteer awards coming up again this December. This year we’ve gratefully received the support of both Volunteering Central and the newly opened Bike Lounge, who are very kindly supporting our prizes

In this referendum, voters will be choosing which of five alternative flag designs will go to the second referendum in March. In the second referendum, voters will choose between the current New Zealand flag and the most preferred alternative from the first referendum. To enrol go online at www. elections.org.nz or visit a Postshop.

Bikers in bid to stop violence to women Wanaka bikers are being asked to join in a campaign to stop violence against women. The Annual White Ribbon Motorbike ride is taking place throughout the North and South Islands and a group of about 25 bikers will be in Wanaka tomorrow (Friday November 20) spreading the word of No Violence to Women. The riders have already made their way along the west coast from Nelson and will be continuing on to Queenstown, Invercargill, Dunedin and up the east coast. They will receive a police escort tomorrow at 8am from Vets Corner (the intersection when turning off to Albert Town from Wanaka) to Kai Whaka Pai and they will be greeted by Lyal Cocks. The riders will then be escorted to Wanaka Primary School at 9am where they will speak about being proactive instead of reactive and saying no to bullying. Local motorbike riders, both men and women, are invited to join the riders at Vets Corner before 8am to ride in with the group.

For writer Laura Williamson, having her poetry set to music has been a dream come true. “I’m a music fanatic but I have zero ability [in that department]”, she said. “It’s very exciting.” When musician Angela Mote asked if she could set Laura’s poetry to music Laura was so thrilled she handed over a folder containing everything she had ever written. That was four years ago, and on Saturday night (November 21) the results will be presented during a concert at the River House. ‘Blue Moments’ will be a blend of jazz, blues and spoken word. Angela has interpreted Laura’s poems, which explore themes of identity and dislocation, both literarily and rhythmically as music. Sometimes she has incorporated spoken words, sometimes they are used as lyrics and in some pieces she has used the rhythm of the poems to create instrumental pieces. “I looked to feel what the essence of the words was and how it could be expressed musically,” she said. “I wrote not only with the words in mind, but what each of our band members could bring to the pieces.” Laura and Angela will be joined on stage by Dominic Stayne on upright bass, Jeff Sinnott on drums, Graeme Perkins on piano and Queenstown jazz/blues singer Karen Hattaway. Angela will play flute and saxophone. Laura would like to assure potential audience members that while she will be reciting poetry, she will definitely not be

attempting to sing. Laura teaches media studies and history at Mount Aspiring College. She is also a writer, freelance journalist and columnist, and her poems have been widely published. Angela is a classically trained flutist, an itinerant music teacher, and a Wanaka band member (Tin Flowers). Her musical pursuits have been varied, from orchestral to classical and jazz chamber music. Formerly Head of Music at MAC, she currently teaches music around Central Otago. Laura and Angela hope to take ‘Blue Moments’ to fringe and jazz festivals around the country. The River House is a performance space in a private home which has hosted a diverse range of musicians from New Zealand and overseas, including Anika Moa, Julia Deans and Whirimako Black. Tickets are $20 ($10 for youth), and are available from Video Ezy in Spencer House Mall, or contact Laura on laurawilliamson@vodafone.co.nz

Festive fun run for KidsCan charity CAROLINE HARKER Wanaka Sun The Aspiring Athletes Club is hosting a fun walk/ run where entrants wear a Santa suit and proceeds go to KidsCan – a charity which provides disadvantaged school children with food, clothing and basic healthcare. Club chair Bronwyn Coers said this is the second time the club has held the event. Last year mainly families entered, and this year Bronwyn would like to see business and club teams compete. The Great KidsCan Santa run was started in Auckland in 2008. Since then it has expanded to 18 locations around the country. The Wanaka event is being held on Pembroke
Park on Wednesday December 2 at 6.30pm. It will be 2-3km long and suitable for all ages. Bronwyn said adult entrants receive a free Santa suit and children get a Santa hat as part of their entry fee. People can register for the event on site from 5.15pm, but to guarantee themselves a Santa suit Bronwyn recommends registering online in advance. KidsCan supports the education of thousands of children nationwide. The organisation says 260,000 Kiwi kids miss out on the basics, such as three meals a day and adequate clothing, and for them getting to school and staying focused can be difficult. KidsCan believes education equals opportunity, and provides tangible programmes which give food, clothing, shoes, healthcare and basic hygiene items to children in need.
Fine sponsorship for Sticks ’n Stones Sticks ‘n Stones, a Central Otago student programme to stop cyber bullying in New Zealand, has been gifted $30,000 by a local tourism operator. The Wanaka-based New Zealand Fine Touring Group will give Sticks ‘n Stones $10,000 per year for three years. It will also support the programme with marketing, graphics, and strategy advice; and will endeavour to raise Sticks ‘n Stones’ profile through its own clientele and the tourism industry in general. The company had its first meeting with the student group yesterday afternoon. NZ Fine Touring director David Kettle said they will leave Sticks ‘n Stones to use the funding how the students feel is most appropriate. “We have worked in the online space for a long time—this is where our kids future is - so we feel strongly about supporting a group that is going to change lives for the better,” he said. David
and his wife Kerry, who is the company’s general manager, have two children aged five and seven. “They are online already and they’ve got [the possibility of cyber bullying] ahead of them,” Kerry said. “Children need to learn about this when they are young. We hope our support will help Sticks ‘n Stones expand around the country.” The student group plans to use some of the funding to continue analysing data from its 2015 bullying survey, which researched 11 to 18 year-olds’ experiences with online bullying. Sticks ‘n Stones project facilitator Karla Sanders said the results will be used by government and other organisations. “We commend Fine Tours for their generous commitment to us, and for being an example to the broader industry,” Karla said. NZ Fine Tours is owned by David and Kerry Kettle and their business partner Chris Sutton.

Frustration over Nepal blockade CAROLINE HARKER Wanaka Sun Wanaka mountaineer Sophie Ward is frustrated the relief work she and thousands of others have done in Nepal since the earthquakes, is being undermined by the Indian blockade of the Nepali border, which has left the country without gas and many other essential supplies. Sophie said the economic damage of the blockade, now in its third month, has been worse than that of the earthquakes. Sophie and her husband Mal Haskins were in Nepal when the earthquakes struck in April and May. Within days of the first quake they set up the Helambu Solu Khumbu Relief Fund. They raised more than $70,000 through donations, and with other foreign and Nepali volunteers transported food, medical aid and building materials to people in badly damaged regions far away from Kathmandu. They returned to Wanaka in June, however within Sophie Ward back from Nepal. weeks Sophie had returned to Nepal, to work with the United Nations World Food Programme in the Gorkha region, which was the epicentre of the April 25 earthquake. She found herself working with another Wanaka resident, Ian Ross, who is still in Nepal. Under the World Food Programme, Sophie organised the logistics of getting food and building materials to people in villages which had been cut off by landslides. From her base, supplies were taken on a two-day tractor journey to the road end, then carried by porters or mules on a three or four day journey over the remote Lakya Pass and for up to five more days to reach remote villages - which could not be accessed by the usual means due to landslides. Sophie said the programme also transported materials for other organisations, including building supplies and educational materials, and worked on rebuilding trails. The programme has now been closed down due to the blockade at the border, she said.
“All relief efforts are hamstrung by the lack of fuel. Nepal is incredibly dependant on gas. People are cutting down trees and burning wood for cooking fires, even in Kathmandu. The rebuild hasn’t even started. Laprak [in the Gorkha region] was the epicentre of the first earthquake and it was 100 percent obliterated. There are 650 families from Laprak living under tarpaulins in a makeshift village. “They’ve been there through the monsoon, and now they will be there for the harsh Himalayan winter.” While the blockade continues, no relief or construction material is reaching earthquake survivors. Reasons for the blockade are complicated. Originally regarded as a protest against the newly adopted Nepali constitution and the rights of the Madhesi people who live on the southern plains of Nepal (the Tarai), it is also attributed to bruised egos of New Delhi politicians who feel Nepal is not listening to their wishes, behaviour of riot police on the Tarai, and (according to PHOTO: CAROLINE HARKER Nepali Times editorial writer Krishna Sinjali) “largely the doing of our own political leadership…. Knowing our overwhelming economic dependence on India, our leaders should have known the limits of our political elbow room.” Whatever the causes, Sophie said the impact is profound. “Locals and volunteers are still doing what they can. But Nepal is in a state of emergency. Everything is totally undermined by the fuel crisis.” People have no gas, no building materials, and they are running out of medical supplies and food. Meanwhile Sophie and Mal still have some funds left in the Helambu Solu Khumbu Relief Fund. “We will probably give it to a school rebuilding organisation. Many of the schools are still in tents.” Sophie is keen to return to Nepal. “Mal and I will always go back,” she said. “We’re talking about going around March or April.” And with their skills and experience, Nepal will have plenty for them to do, for some time to come.

Ruby Island advocate Jude Battson said the island is probably “in the best shape for the beginning of the season ever”, after a recent working bee. She said 22 people help clear weeds, particularly broom, lupins and briar. “It’s always interesting meeting the people who come, and one of the inspiring things this time was the number of young people who turned up and worked so hard,” Jude said. “And Nicky Blen-

nerhassett makes it her speciality to weed eat and clear the old dance floor area as a reminder of its former glory.” Jude has organised working bees on the island for many years. Lakeland Adventures ferries the volunteers to the island free of charge and the council supplies tools and a barbeque lunch. Gas barbeques on the island are fuelled for free by Caltex Wanaka, Jude said.

The Wanaka Hawea Reserves Trust is a Charitable Trust that has been established by locals to advocate for the protection and enhancement of reserves throughout the Upper Clutha basin. Trust members believe our Reserves are an important part of what makes our area special. We are concerned that decisions made affecting our Reserves are based more on expediency than on any long term vision.

The Wanaka Watersports Facility Trust (WWFT) proposes to locate a large building on the foreshore of Lake Wanaka at the western end of Roys Bay. The 420 m2 building, being three times the size of the log cabin, would dominate an area Trust members, many residents and most visitors regard as having special natural qualities. To provide a clearing, for what is essentially a storage shed for the Rowing Club, a substantial cluster of 10 large trees would have to be cut down. These trees provide shade and shelter and along with the poplars they are an attractive feature of the area. Replacing these healthy trees with a large building, along with its associated activities, would compromise the public’s use and enjoyment of this very popular area. The Trust supports the Rowing Club in finding an appropriate site to store their boats. Alternative sites do exist and we believe these need to be reviewed and adopted. Allowing the first building on this part of the foreshore would set a very bad precedent. We consider it would be a tragedy to see this wonderful natural asset severely compromised. Lake Wanaka and its foreshore are designated as Outstanding Natural Landscape (ONL). The proposed building would be a highly visible structure, undermine Outstanding Natural Values and be totally inconsistent with the Lake Wanaka ONL. The proposed building is contrary to District Plan provisions and it would compromise natural and scenic values of the lake margin Recreation Reserve. The public have been lead to believe the WWFT proposal is a ‘done deal’; this is certainly not the case. Consent has not been granted and QLDC invites public submissions on the Resource Consent Application. We strongly urge the public to submit against this inappropriate development.
Please help ensure this natural asset is not lost forever thinkwanaka@xtra.co.nz

Soulfood’s tasty chickpea flatbread Known in France as “Socca”, this chickpea flour-based flatbread recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan, high in protein and fibre, easy to prepare and downright delicious! Simply soak one cup of chickpea flour (aka besan flour) with one and a quarter cups water overnight (or for at least a couple of hours). When you are ready to prepare, add some salt, a splash of olive oil and any herbs or spices you like, and stir into the batter. Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat up a large oven proof pan on a medium high heat, add a generous splash of olive oil (not extra virgin) and pour the batter into the centre of the pan until it reaches the edges. Cook on the heat for one minute, then place pan in the oven for five minutes until the pancake is firm. At this point remove from the oven, flip the pancake, and finish cooking for five minutes. The flatbread can now be topped with anything you like. At Soulfood we often top it with a pesto sauce, some dark leafy greens, caramelised onions, seasonal vegetables and toasted seeds and spices.
We are open from 7am daily. Date: 23/09/14 Come on in and enjoy a Job No: scrumptious, hearty breakfast. Design: CSB Plenty of off street parking.

Wanaka Wastebusters is one of many groups supporting the Wanaka Climate March/Celebration on Sunday November 29. We believe in the power of ordinary people to get together and change things they feel passionate about. And climate change is worth feeling passionate about, because an unstable and unsafe climate would make life much less enjoyable. Think floods, droughts, fires and who knows what will happen to the snowpack? Few people are arguing that humanity is now butting up against the limits of the environment to support our wasteful ways. I guess it’s not surprising that a disposable society is not sustainable with a world population of over 7 billion people. Our collective impact is melting glaciers in Greenland and Tibet, and unless we change our ways very very soon, it could all get out of control in a bad blockbuster movie kind of way. Unfortunately climate change is such a big and scary topic that it’s tempting to just push it to the back of your mind and live life in the present. But here’s some good news – every time you reuse or recycle with Wastebusters, you’re doing something positive to fight climate change. “Globally, waste prevention and resource recovery represent the key activities by

which the waste sector can significantly contribute to climate change mitigation,” a United Nations Environmental Programme report found. Another good reason to love op-shopping! So pop on your favourite preloved outfit and bring your positive energy to the Dinosaur Park on Sunday November 29. If we all do something little, it’s not too big to be tackled. Climate marches will be happening all over the world in the next couple of weeks, to support clean energy, justice and a safe climate. Hopefully it will help inspire world leaders to commit to a solution when they meet the following week in Paris for COP21.

Great to see the community watching out for each other but take care what you put online. Lost driving licences and credit cards contain sensitive information. The banks and the police will be able to track owners easily without publishing pictures. And giving away the barcode on a ticket is not a good idea. Pay n Display only exacerbates parking problems and benefits only council. In Queenstown with pay n display you can hold a park all day. Dear PM Your attempt at redemption was a bit of a fail, let’s be honest. Celebrating your own success is one thing, denigrating others who you prejudge because of the job they choose do is truly offensive. Yes you have our attention but have you ever truly had a conversation with the person who pumps your gas or makes your flat white? You may be surprised what residents sacrifice to live in this beautiful place . Everyone has skills, and should be recognized for them. What is up with some of the wait-staff in town..? Ripped denim short-shorts? Miniskirts? And skimpy tight racer back singlets in restaurants, while I’m at it. Maybe I’m just old school. Maybe I’m a prude. But if we are spending $60 plus per person, just on food, a bit of class would be appreciated. Lost my bracelet while shopping in New World on Friday morning. Caring honest staff found it and returned to me Thank you so much

Retired zoologist John Darby keeps us up to date on the latest grebe hatchings at Lake Wanaka. Nest 5 has hatched two of its three eggs and not surprisingly has left an unfertilised egg. Nest 13 is also on the way and nest 3 is not showing the usual signs of an impending hatch, which is that two to three days before hatching, birds go on a veritable spree of nest building, an activity that does not always work out well. The more weed they pile on the nest, the more it sinks and the more it sinks the more they pile on and so on. I have to put my hand up and admit that from time to time I have “deconstructed” (the in-term) part of a nest to lessen the chance of it sinking completely. Back to Napoleon and a note on brood reduction strategies. Napoleon (a two-day old south polar skua chick) was driven away from his nest by his older sibling and scrambled over to a neighbouring skua territory and surprisingly survived the more usual cannibalistic end to such intruders. His timing was perfect; he caught the adjacent pair in a maternal/ paternal dilemma because their own first egg had just hatched; but the parental drive was so strong that they failed to correctly identify their own chick and accepted Napoleon as their own. Ungraciously, Napoleon then set about beating up the first newly hatched chick of the new pair and three days later, when their second chick hatched out, did the same to that. Neither of those chicks survived. Adult skua do absolutely nothing to intervene in sibling battles and appear totally indifferent to the fate of their youngsters. It will be a busy week on the hatching front with nests 11, 2, 3, 13 and 7 due. Calculating hatch dates for this species is less than an exact science and I shall explain why next week.

We must demand more It won’t go away so we might as well talk about it. Affordable housing (or lack of it in this case) is not about individuals debating the issue. It is about systems failure highlighting the market economy’s limitations when applied to a community that values sustainability and social cohesion. John Key has stated that his government has spent six hundred million dollars on tourism. Which means the tourism sector is a subsidised industry. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, not if the money is distributed sensibly and fairly. Our region lives or dies on the tourism dollar. And while tourist businesses could continue forever and a day turning over low-paid transient staff; which is the market answer to the problem, it really does make more sense to employ workers from settled local families. However, tourism/ hospitality is a low-paid industry in a high rent/mortgage area and that is not going to change. But the current provision of affordable housing must change. So, where is the money coming from? That six hundred million subsidy is a clue. But to get this matter taken seriously our Council must demand more from our member of parliament. And she must demand more from Mr. Key. The stumbling block is not lack of financial resources but lack of commitment from our elected representatives (local and national) to fight for a fair share of those resources. Christopher Horan Lake Hawea
Lakefront should be protected Thank you to The Wanaka/Hawea Reserves Trust for their recent article in The Wanaka Messenger, outlining a proposed sports building on Lake Wanaka edge. I, for one, am grateful to learn that there is still time to submit against this building. Ten large trees being cut down to provide sufficient room to erect a building/storage shed would detract hugely from this beautiful public reserve. As a long time resident, believing that the lakefront would be fully protected, it seems unbelievable to think that any building should ever be built on a site of ‘outstanding landscape’. I wish the rowing club members well, but please don’t devalue/ruin an area of global significance with the placement of a huge 420m2 building on the edge of Lake Wanaka. If the Wanaka Watersports facility is granted permission who will be the next applicant? Don’t let the horse bolt! The lakefront and its unobstructed view to the mountains is the very essence of Wanaka, making it one of the most scenic places in the world. We still have time to ask the council to decline the application. This is imperative for residents now, and for future generations. Noelene Pullar Resident of Wanaka of 44yrs

Otago and Southland have been quietly building a reputation as the food basket of New Zealand. From coastline to alpine heights, we are blessed with a climate that produces some of the best raw ingredients in the world. We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding perfect local wine accompaniments to serve with the top-notch produce this part of the world has to offer. Rosé and salmon go together particularly, and not just because they share the same colour. The medley of red fruit, dry, mineral driven character and typically acute acidity in rosé wines make for an exceptionally obliging salmon pairing partner. Some of our customers may not realise that we now have a deli section at Pembroke Wines & Spirits. We proudly stock a range of delicious morsels from

Kiwis dominate at Highlands 101
PHOTO: GEOFF RIDDER
STAFF REPORTER Wanaka Sun Kiwi star Shane Van Gisbergen and Klark Quinn secured victory in the Highlands 101 feature race at Highlands Motorsport Park last weekend. Driving a McLaren 650S GT3, Van Gisbergen snatched the 101 race lead from Erebus Motorsport’s Jack LeBrocq with just two laps to go. LeBrocq, in a Mercedes-Benz, managed to hold off the hard-chasing Van Gisbergen for much of the final sector of the race. A small gap gave the Kiwi the advantage he was looking for to take the lead, and Christopher Mies, the newly-crowned Australian GT champion, also took the same gap to come through for second place. Van Gisbergen said: “That was one of the best battles I’ve ever had. I don’t know who was in the Mercedes at the end there, but they drove well. I had Chris behind me and we were flat out the whole way at the end. Thanks to Klark; he did a great job all weekend. To have the round

win and to win the 101 as well was just awesome.” Quinn, the son of Highlands’ owner Tony Quinn, was also delighted with their success. “It’s an honour to race with Shane and to have him drive with me in the McLaren in this part of the world, it’s just beautiful.” The third edition of the roughly three-hour long endurance race featured 32 starters. The honour of top New Zealand team went to Southland’s Inky Tulloch and Nelson’s John McIntyre who finished 14th in their crowdpleasing Camaro GT3. Wanaka-Dunedin pairing Allan Dippie and Scott O’Donnell finished 17th in a Porsche GT3. Mike Sentch, Highlands general manager, says the weekend was a huge success. “It’s our biggest weekend of motor racing here at Highlands and it’s an absolute highlight of our year. It’s fantastic to see a good crowd of spectators enjoying premium race action from a class field of GT cars and Kiwi competitors.”

overall and Annie played in the final against Innes to finish Runner-Up. All three qualified for the South Island Championships. On Friday morning the Southern Districts Quads Tournament started. This consists of teams of four in the three age brackets (10 and under, 12 and under and 14 and under) from Southland, North Otago, South Canterbury and Southern Lakes playing each other over three days.

Cyclist ‘Everests’ Treble Cone Cyclist ‘Everests’ Treble Cone for diabetes day Multisporter Emily Wilson took on the challenge of “Everesting” to raise awareness of World Diabetes Day last Saturday (November 14). Emily was recently diagnosed with type one diabetes. However the driven athlete was determined not to let her condition get in her way. Starting at 8pm last Friday night and finishing at 6pm on Saturday, Emily completed her Everesting challenge with nine and a quarter gruelling rides up and down the Treble Cone access road. The term Everesting is a trend in endurance cycling where the challenge of climbing to 8850 meters, the height of Everest, is achieved by repeatedly cycling up and down a smaller hill. Only the ascents are counted. Her effort was supported by local Wanaka businesses and by over 40 locals accompanying her on the climbs. Emily said the event was a great opportunity to showcase some of the equipment she uses to help manage her diabetes. “It was one of the hardest physical things I’ve done in a while,” said Emily. “Being hunched over for so long was tough on my stomach and back. The last three laps were definitely the hardest, but that’s why I was so stoked that so many people came along on the day. I was blown away by all the support from people and businesses.” This year Diabetes New Zealand chose Emily as their International Diabetes Federation Young Leader. As part of her role, Emily will visit Vancouver at the end of November for the World Diabetes Congress. “I’m excited to go and learn as much as I can so that I can come back and help other people with diabetes in New Zealand,” said Emily.
