he hunt for Plastic Bag Free Wanaka’s (PBFW) reusable bag design is over, with Leigh Cooper’s eye-catching and relevant entry earning its spot on future shoppers’ bags across the town. Following a tenday extension to the competition, a total of 47 entries were sent into the PBFW committee, making choosing the winner a tricky task. PBFW’s chairman Anna van Riel said that the winning design captured the essence of Wanaka and what the initiative is all about. “Leigh went above and beyond to create an all-encompassing design which also has everything needed
from a marketing perspective. We wanted something that people would like to have on their bags, so that they want to keep on using them and not reach for the plastic,” she said. “Extending the competition deadline was the best thing we could have done as a lot more people got involved and we created more awareness within the community, which is the whole point,” Anna added. The committee will be displaying all entries for one week in the Wanaka Library from today, Thursday May 19, and are organising a community sewing drive to make the first release of The Wanaka Bag. To get involved, contact plasticbagfreewanaka@gmail.com.

Hamish off to Rio

DANIELLE BUTLER newsdesk@thewanakasun.co.nz As the town continues to grow, along with concerns regarding irresponsible practices from tourists, eyes have turned to social media, and its promotion of Wanaka. Lake Wanaka Tourism has been subject to criticism for the way it and its partners have promoted an unrealistic image to tourists within their marketing, a key example being photos of freedom camping on Roys Peak, which has no facilities for campers. Wanaka travel writer Liz Carlson, whose Young Adventuress blog has hundreds of thousands of visitors and more than 24,000 followers on Facebook, feels that a lot of responsibility lies with Lake Wanaka Tourism as visitor numbers continue to grow. “Lake Wanaka Tourism do not think about the future at all and are just thinking about the money and visitor numbers. Right now, New Zealand tourism has been pushing for tourism in different markets, but have invested no money developing infrastructure, which is the biggest issue. You can’t push and push the town without investing money in infrastructure. Most people see freedom camping in New Zealand
from the agents directly marketing it on Instagram, etc, and these people have a responsibility but no-one is owning up to it,” Liz said. “There are bloggers who will post irresponsible pictures of themselves around the town and then leave. But the pictures are still there, which will continue to ruin it for others.” A key concern that Liz shares with many others is the consequences of irresponsible marketing on the environment and the local community, citing that increased rubbish and human waste in beauty spots could result in private landowners banning access to everybody in the future. “So many people just want to get the best photo, fighting for space with their tripods and it is just ridiculous. It shows no respect for the environment or the people that live here. I want people to come and appreciate Wanaka, but I also want them to be respectful,” Liz said. The Wanaka Sun was informed by Lake Wanaka Tourism that they do have a policy about the kind of images that they publish on their website, but were unavailable for further comment.

DANIELLE BUTLER newsdesk@thewanakasun.co.nz A regular maths class ended in Rio for swimmer Hamish McLean last week, as he got the call to tell him that he had made it to the 2016 Paralympic Games. “When I got the call from the Paralympic head swim coach, I went outside, and when I was told I was really happy. I went back in and told the class. It was pretty cool, and I was just really happy, of course,” Hamish, pictured, said. The original New Zealand Paralympic swim team announcement ended in disappointment for Hamish, who didn’t make it into the two male slots available. “I was really disappointed at first and didn’t really want to train as much, but I am back into it and really excited now. I can’t wait,” he said.
At the time of the initial para-swimming team announcement, New Zealand had qualified five female and two male slots for the Games, but was later reallocated an additional male slot which led to Hamish’s selection. The 16-year-old heads to Spain on Saturday, May 21, for three and a half weeks to train before heading to another training camp in Florida in August. Then he will go to Berlin later in the year before taking on Rio in September. While Hamish is confident, he remains humble about the Games, saying, “I’m going to see what I can do, but you never know what might happen.” Para-swimming head coach Jon Shaw said that he was “totally overwhelmed” to have secured a slot for Hamish. “He absolutely deserves it and to have him miss out on selection by just a hair originally was devastating,” he said.

Wanaka LandSAR wins cup a second time GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz Wanaka LandSAR travelled to Manapouri on the weekend to compete in the annual Tautuku Cup and came home winners once again. The Tautuku Cup is a southern district regional search and rescue competition attended by Police and LandSAR volunteers south of Waitaki. The competition helps the teams to demonstrate core search and rescue skills with content being closely linked to LandSAR probationary team members and operational field team member competencies. PAGE 2
Sergeant Aaron Nicholson said Wanaka LandSAR sent a team of five people down to Borland Lodge, Manapouri for the competition. “The cup is held on an annual basis. It’s an opportunity to get together and have a friendly competition while catching up and networking with other LandSAR groups.” Sgt Nicholson said the exercises were carried out in challenging weather conditions, “but given the weather over the weekend, it was a great result for the team and they got the job done.” This is the second year running Wanaka LandSAR has taken home the cup.

NASA balloon finally up, up and away
PHOTO: NASA/BILL RODMAN
GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz It has been a long time coming, but NASA’s patience paid off on Tuesday with the successful launch of NASA’s Super Pressure Balloon (SPB). This was the fifth attempt for the team, with weather thwarting previous attempts since April 1. The team needed to have a calm day with low and predictable winds for a three to four hour period because the balloon is big (532,000 cubic metres). The purpose of the flight is to test and validate the SPB technology and NASA is aiming for a goal of 100-plus days at mid-latitudes. In addition, the gondola is carrying the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) gamma-ray telescope as a mission of opportunity. “The team performed a brilliant launch operation today,” NASA Balloon Program office chief Debbie Fairbrother said. “The balloon is pressurised, healthy and well on its way for this important test mission. I’m extremely proud of our Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) team for yet another beautiful launch, and I am thankful for the tremendous support from our Kiwi friends, particularly the phenomenal Wanaka Airport staff.” Two hours and eight minutes after lift-off the
balloon reached its operational float altitude of 33.5km, flying initially westward through southern Australia before entering into the eastward flowing winter stratospheric cyclone. NASA estimates the balloon will circumnavigate the globe once every one to three weeks, depending on wind speeds in the stratosphere. This is the second SPB flight for COSI, which was developed by the University of California, Berkeley. COSI is a NASA-funded mission designed to probe the mysterious origins of galactic positrons, study the creation of new elements in the galaxy and perform pioneering studies of gamma-ray bursts and black holes. Long-duration flights are vital for these types of studies. The balloon is also carrying the Carolina Infrasound instrument, a small, 3kg payload with infrasound microphones designed to record acoustic wave field activity in the stratosphere. NASA brought a 40-strong team of PhD physicists, electrical engineers, computer programmers and more who worked on the science payload. The team in Wanaka will begin closing down on-site campaign operations, which have been ongoing since February. “We’re absolutely delighted to see NASA’s visit culminate in another successful launch,” Ralph Fegan, Wanaka Airport operations manager, said.

Major funding for trails GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz Two local funds have committed major funding to create a world class Central Otago Trail network. Central Lakes Trust and the Otago Community Trust announced a commitment to work with the New Zealand government to create a 500km continuous trail network in Central Otago. The project, estimated to cost $26.3 million, will connect existing trails including a number of great rides and the Otago Central Rail Trail. The completed network, which is expected to take five years to finish, will feature new trails through Kawarau and Cromwell gorges, along the Clutha River from Wanaka to Cromwell and the missing section of the Roxburgh Gorge. This will address the missing links connecting the region’s four great rides - Queenstown, Roxburgh Gorge, Clutha Gold and the Otago Central Rail Trail. The project has been endorsed by the Central Otago District Council and the Queenstown Lakes District Council. The in principle commitment of $11.15 million from Central Lakes Trust is more than five times the magnitude of any previous grant and the $2 million in principle commitment by the Otago Community Trust is its second largest ever. The funding has been committed in principle, providing the government confirms funding for the balance of $13.15 million.
“This is a huge initiative for our region. Central Lakes Trust has been working closely with government officials, the local steering group and the Otago Community Trust during the past year on this project which will create a world-class trail network traversing some of New Zealand’s most stunning landscapes,” Paul Allison, chief executive of Central Lakes Trust, said. A steering group was formed in 2015 to explore the potential for such a network and professional feasibility studies for the missing links have been completed. Otago Community Trust chair Ross McRobie has said “the Otago Community Trust is committed to supporting the regional development of cycle ways as they help to provide employment opportunities and ensure the sustained growth of regional towns.” Local steering group chairman Stephen Jeffery said linking the Queenstown Central Otago trails will be a game changer for Central Otago and New Zealand. "This will be a fantastic regional asset, linking our communities for the first time. In fact, more than 80 percent of residents would be within half an hour of the trail which is designed to pass through almost 30 local communities. A 500km-plus, world-class trail network will provide a compelling reason for visitors to stay longer in our region, providing extra jobs and income for our communities,” he said.
Defibrillator installed at College A new defibrillator has been installed at Mount Aspiring College. It is housed in a red box on the wall outside the college canteen, close to the front entrance to the college
gymnasium. Grants from the Lions Foundation and Central Lakes Trust funded the purchase of the defibrillator which is for public use.

Business owners reap rewards Commissioners ask from business growth course for more information GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz Wanaka business owners are learning essential skills to grow and develop their businesses from the Certificate of Applied Business Growth. Bryce and Donnelle Dunlop of Dunlop Builders won the national award for the Registered master Builders House of the Year 2015 in the $650-$1m range and Donnelle (pictured) said the course provided her with the skills to grow their business in the right direction. “The course helped me identify key areas that needed to be worked on and develop those strategies with timeframes and outcomes. It enabled me to work on the business at a strategic level, recognising our goals, strengths and weakness and then implementing strategies to address these areas,” Donnelle said. Mylrea Bell runs the 24-week programme, offered through Te Wananga o Aotearoa, and said there had been many business owners in Wanaka who had completed the course, which has been offered since 2009. “We have 22 enrolled for the course that starts on June 1. I am really delighted with that. Wanaka is the only town south of Christchurch, and one of only seven towns outside of Auckland, to offer the course, so we are really lucky to have this course in Wanaka,” Mylrea said. The content is targeted at people in an existing business and it is also relevant for those who are just on the point of starting.

Colin Keel new CEO of QAC GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz Aviation and transport infrastructure specialist Colin Keel has been appointed as new chief executive officer for Queenstown Airport Corporation (QAC). Board chairman John Gilks said Colin Keel was chosen following an international search which attracted a significant number of high calibre candidates both locally and from abroad. “Colin brings more than 25 years of relevant experience in aviation and transport infrastructure to the role and will continue to lead our work in providing sustainable air connectivity and infrastructure and a world-class visitor experience that reflects the best of our region,” John said. Colin, originally from the United States and currently living in Australia, has experience in senior management roles at American Airlines, Qantas and Aurizon. Most recently in Sydney, he was an advisor to several international pension and superannuation funds on major infrastructure investments. Colin said he was looking forward to this new opportunity. “I feel privileged to have the opportunity to lead such a dynamic organisation and look forward to
working with the QAC team and community to ensure we deliver value for the region and remain one of the most memorable flying experiences in the world,” Colin said. He will be relocating to Queenstown in advance of commencing his new role on June 1. “We (the QAC Board) sincerely thank [Acting CEO] Mark Edghill for his highly effective custodianship of the company since the untimely passing of Scott Paterson last year. We would also like to pay tribute to the QAC team for their hard work and dedication during a challenging time,” John said. Passenger traffic for Queenstown Airport continues to grow, with the total number of passengers flying in and out of Queenstown Airport hitting 1.6 million for the first time in a 12-month period. Traditionally a shoulder-season month for the airport, total passenger movements increased 23.4 percent to 142,085 in April, compared with the same period last year. This is the highest rate of passenger growth for any month since 2012 when compared to its corresponding month. Domestic passenger numbers were up 21.7 percent and international passenger numbers were up 28.4 percent.

DANIELLE BUTLER newsdesk@thewanakasun.co.nz Wanaka resident Barbara Poots, who suffers with macular eyesight issues, has appealed to the community to be aware of the health of their eyes, ahead of macular degeneration awareness week from May 23 to 29. Barbara, who was diagnosed when she was ten, is urging people to have annual check-ups with an eye specialist, maintain a healthy diet and check the Amsler Grid regularly, which can be used to detect early signs of macular degeneration, an eye disease that can quickly lead to
vision loss if left untreated. “If someone did have macular degeneration, they may not know. They would just think they had eyesight problems, so it is important to go to an optician if you suspect you could have it,” Barbara said. Eye specialist and Macular Degeneration NZ chairperson Dr. Dianne Sharp said that far too many people were going blind because of low awareness of the disease. "People don’t know that a simple test can identify early changes and save their sight, provided that they know the warning signs and seek treatment early," she said.

Mine your sock drawer GINA DEMPSTER Wanaka Wastebusters Did you know that research from last year showed that two-thirds of New Zealanders own or have access to three or more electronic devices for private use? It makes me feel a bit better about the proliferation of electronic devices in our house. I’m not very technologically savvy and I’m not usually an impulse buyer (can blame either my Scottish heritage or my training as an economist), so it bemuses me how our household of four has ended up owning so many things with an electronic brain: one desktop computer (nearly dead), two laptops (one without a battery), three Kindles (do they count?), three smartphones, two televisions (not sure if they are smart or not?), one Apple television (what does that even do?), one iPad and one tablet (for school, luckily, as our youngest child is the only person who can make it work). Wow – it is not surprising that electronic waste is the world’s fastest growing waste stream! The scary thing is that devices generally don’t last very long. In America, smartphones are replaced on average every two years. You don’t have to be paranoid to notice that no-one is designing electronic devices to be upgraded or easily repaired. The sooner you replace your phone or laptop, the more product that companies sell and the more money they make. In a perfect world (one in which using resources wisely was as important as making profits) your phone or other device would be designed to last. But it seems like we’re getting further away from that goal instead of closer to it. Replacing the battery or inserting cheap, extra storage for my old
Samsung Galaxy S3 is so simple that even I can do it with a little help from Mr Google. Not so for the latest Samsung Galaxy, or for Apple’s iPhones. Wouldn’t it be great if someone could come up with a business model that incentivised companies to make and sell products that lasted and which could be upgraded to keep current? Surely all those brains working in those top companies could do that if only they turned their minds to it. In the meantime, the best thing you can do with all your dead and obsolete electronic devices is not to keep them in your sock drawer, but to recycle them at Wastebusters. We will make sure the recycling is done safely and responsibly, and that any valuable materials are harvested for reuse. By mining your old devices for metals, you are helping to reduce the need for land mining – and the environmental impact that it causes. Safe and responsible recycling includes destroying all the data on your old device, so you can be confident that your electronic secrets are safe with us. We do have to charge to cover the cost for most electronic devices except cellphones (usually $5$15, you can find a list of prices up on our website wanakawastebusters.co.nz). We find that most people are happy to pay to recycle their electronic waste when they understand that it is because the value of the materials harvested is less than the cost of collecting and recycling that type of device. Unfortunately right now, we can’t recycle old-style CRT televisions or monitors as we are waiting for a solution from Government and the producers to cover their high recycling costs. Pictured: Dan Cooney from the Wanaka Wastebusters yard dismantling an old computer before it is sent away to be recycled.

Battle for our birds to combat Appeal for creative recycling rising predator numbers
PHOTO: SUPPLIED
GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz This winter the Department of Conservation will launch the largest pest control operation in New Zealand’s history in response to a pest plague which threatens vulnerable native wildlife. Battle for our Birds 2016 will receive $20.7 million in new operating funding for 2015/16 from this month’s Budget, to help fight back against an expected pest population boom caused by a heavy forest seeding. Conservation Minister Maggie Barry said, “DOC scientists have confirmed the seed fall predicted last year has eventuated. We must respond if we are to protect our native birds and animals from the threat – and the funding will enable DOC to achieve this.” This autumn around a million tonnes of beech seed will drop to the forest floor, providing a bonanza of food for rats and causing their population to boom. Local Forest and Bird member Andrew Penniket said there had definitely been an increase of predators, and on Tuesday May
17 he went up to Makarora to check the three trap lines. “Last year we were only getting one or two rats and no stoats. When I checked the lines on Tuesday we caught five rats and four stoats, so numbers are definitely on the rise,” Andrew said. Battle for our Birds 2016 will see DOC ramp up pest control by 500,000ha, to cover more than 800,000ha of land. Aerial 1080 operations will be backed by on-going trapping and ground control programmes. “Biodegradable 1080 remains the safest, most efficient and effective method of pest control in the rugged backcountry of New Zealand and we must use it if we are to protect our precious native creatures from the effect of the beech mast,” Maggie said. Central Otago Lakes Forest and Bird media spokesperson Bruce Jefferies said, “New Zealand is in a unique situation and until we get a better response, we are using the best tools backed by some world-class research in terms of controlling predators that are available at the moment. We fully support DOC and the government using these resources to tackle these predators.”
Time to reflect on road safety STAFF REPORTER editor@thewanakasun.co.nz With more than 20 drink-drive or car-crash incidents reported locally in the Wanaka Police Crime Line, national Road Safety Week, which began on Monday, is an opportune time for motorists and motorcycle riders to assess their own driving ability and road safety risk level. “Road Safety Week is a great opportunity for all drivers to reflect on their driving, and assess whether they are taking all the steps humanly possible to

stay safe on our roads,” national road policing operations manager, Inspector Peter McKennie said. “What is incredibly sad and frustrating for police is attending crashes where simple road safety rules have not been followed.” Last year 319 people were killed on the country’s roads. “Drivers need to remember that every patch of road is someone’s community, and all drivers are part of that community even if they’re only passing through,” Inspector McKennie said.

DANIELLE BUTLER newsdesk@thewanakasun.co.nz Organisers of the Wanaka Wearables Creation Show are on the look-out for creative artists and models to fix up some recyclable fashion for this year’s event. The biennial show, which will be held at the Lake Wanaka Centre from Thursday, October 27 to Saturday, October 29, showcases wearable art and fashion pieces created from recycled materials. Sarah Shore, who organises the show alongside Anna Mackay, said that people were welcome to create as many wearable pieces as they liked as an individual or in groups. “It is a really fun and creative outlet for people with a bit of spare time. I remember people watching 2014’s show and
being really inspired. I would like people to remember how they felt when watching and give it a go themselves,” Sarah said. Bottle tops, stockings, bread bags, coffee cups and pipe cleaners adorned the catwalk at 2014’s show, with Sarah’s advice being to choose an accessible material that is readily available in large quantities. “It is not just about the piece, it is also about creating an actual act on the stage. We help the artists with their music and lighting, and it can become quite a performance,” Sarah said. Anna and Sarah are looking for people who would like to create a piece, models and volunteers on the nights of the show. To find out more, contact Sarah on 021949605 or email wanakawearables@ gmail.com.
Missing tramper found on Routeburn STAFF REPORTER editor@thewanakasun.co.nz A Dutch tourist missing on the Routeburn track overnight on Tuesday has been found safe and well. The 29-year-old woman was reported missing just before 10pm when she became separated from a friend while on a day trip. Her friend contacted emergency services. She was located at McKenzie hut at
5.45am yesterday by a search and rescue helicopter. The pair were on a day tramp when they became separated. Police said the incident is a reminder for trampers to be prepared for a trip into the bush even if just for a day trip. This includes taking adequate equipment including waterproof jacket, torch, provisions, as well as leaving notice of their intentions.

Tiff and Niki take on the boys in this year’s The Block GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz Local woman Tiffany Mair and friend Niki are competing in this season’s The Block after filming their audition on the lawn of mum Bev Mair’s home at Lake Hawea. Tiffany moved to Wanaka from Southland at age five with her mum and sister Laurie. She grew up here attending Wanaka Primary School and Mount Aspiring College. When she was nine she won Miss Snowflake Wanaka and after working in hospitality and retail Tiffany moved to Auckland to work in the movie industry. After travelling to London and Europe on her OE she settled in Melbourne with Sam, her partner of four-and-a-half years, and currently works as a set dresser and buyer for film and television. Niki is based in Christchurch and is a forensic re-
search scientist with a PhD. Amongst other things, her job involves researching how forensic scientists make decisions about forensic evidence. Tiff and Niki met when they were bridesmaids for one of their best friends. Tiff was the responsible one and found herself having to keep Niki in check, who was more interested in the social event, rather than doing her share of bridesmaid duties. Bev is excited for the pair and is looking forward to cheering them on when the premiere episode airs. Bev said it was a spur of the moment decision for them to enter the competition. “They were being silly over a couple of wines on PHOTO: SUPPLIED my front lawn over new year and said ‘Let’s go on the Block!’ and they filmed their audition tape and sent it in,” Bev said. Bev is planning a yellow-themed party to celebrate the premiere. The Block premieres on TV3 on Sunday May 29. Pictured: Tiffany Mair with Mum Bev and sister Laurie.

Celebration of local produce DANIELLE BUTLER newsdesk@thewanakasun.co.nz Local produce is once again getting the celebration it deserves with the launch of the Locavore Supper Club. Lauryn Therin, founder of the club, hopes to turn it into a successful monthly event following the opening night at Cafe Gusto on Saturday May 28. “I am sourcing my products and ingredients for the night from local businesses and producers. The meat
is coming from The Butchers Block, fruit and vegetables from Soul Food, eggs from Wanaka Organics and some spices from the Mediterranean Market,” Lauren said. “Locavore is a term used for food that is locally produced and locally consumed. This notion ties into the philosophy of my idea for the food - using fresh seasonal ingredients from right here in Wanaka and allowing the people of Wanaka to enjoy the fruits of this labour,” she added.

New sections at Riverside Park go to Community Housing Trust GLENDA TURNBULL journalist@thewanakasun.co.nz Twelve new sections at Riverside Park in Albert Town have been gifted to the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust by Riverside Park developer, Infinity Investment Group. Paul Croft, managing director of Infinity Group, said the 11 Riverside Park sections being handed over this week were part of an agreement to give 12 sections to the council for affordable housing. The sections have a market value of around $1.8 million. “We are delighted to be able to give something back to the community and help provide the opportunity for eleven more families to find an affordable place to live,” Paul said. Queenstown Lakes District Council Deputy Mayor, Lyal Cocks, welcomed Infinity's contribution of the
11 sections to the Housing Trust. “As the district’s population grows and house prices rise, it is important to support all initiatives and activities that offer affordable first home options for young families and those on lower incomes. Infinity's generous contribution enables the Housing Trust to provide affordable housing options, vital to the benefit of our district," Lyal said. Julie Scott, Executive Officer of Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust, said the new sections were much needed. “We have a solid waiting list of Wanaka households seeking housing assistance and this contribution from Infinity will certainly help in satisfying some of that demand,” Julie said. “Our recent renter’s survey highlights the issue and it’s great to see developers playing their part in ensuring all residents of the district have access to decent, affordable housing.”

New flying scholarship to be established

STAFF REPORTER editor@thewanakasun.co.nz The Warbirds Over Wanaka Community Trust has announced it will establish and fund new Flying Scholarships and give financial support to local community groups. The new scholarship aims to help pilots get experience flying a Warbird aircraft. “As we approach our 30th anniversary it is important we do something positive to ensure there will be pilots able to fly these amazing machines for the next 30 years,” John said. The final audited results from the airshow will not be known until the end of the trust’s financial year in
September, but trust chairman John Gilks said the trust was expecting to exceed its budgeted surplus. “Some of the surplus will be set aside to cover operating costs between now and the next airshow and to top up a contingency fund,” John said. “In addition to these allocations we will, for the first time, make contributions to our new Flying Scholarships and to deserving groups in our community.” The contingency fund was set up in 2015 to “as a way of self-insuring the organisation against a major catastrophe,” he said.

VIEWPOINT Facebook www.facebook.com/WanakaSun/ Last week’s opinion piece on wilding pines “Destruction of beneficial tree species a waste of resources”, written by local man Peter Whiting garnered some support from our readers on Facebook this week. Krystyna Glavinovic Well written - I’ve been amazed since my arrival to NZ five years ago with what can only be described as a kiwi hatred towards trees! Not only do trees prevent soil erosion by their root systems, they also serve as barriers to wind (another powerful cause of soil erosion).
Martin McKone Excellent read and even though I’m not an expert I agree entirely with Peter. Well put and I hope the QLDC listen. Would love to know who is advising them. Trevor Bacon Monoculture of pines and firs exotics bad news for indigenous flora and fauna - a 200 year plan needed to resolve a 500 year mismanagement problem.
Kate Bariletti Well written...have wondered the rationale of destroying the trees.

WANAK A SPORTS FACILITY
Quentin Smith Like a red rag to a bull! There are a lot of issues at play here. I am the first to agree that Wanaka has had the short end with regard to sport facilities for a long long time. The truth is we don’t even have a plan or strategy in place about how all the sports will be provided for across the Upper Clutha, nor do we have council supporting these sports in the way that happens in Queenstown Events Centre. Kelly’s Flat was formed about three to four years ago from flat paddock for soccer primarily. The fact this is now over capacity is symptomatic of a larger issue, let alone the complete joke that is parking and toilet provision associated with such large numbers (one of the important advantages of co-location). By next year we should have two indoor courts, a new swimming centre and an outdoor artificial turf under lights (equal to two outdoor courts). This will be part of a 5.5ha facility at Three Parks. A good start but not before time. This was subject to a painful amount of consultation over a number of years. I am told the artificial turf will be used for hockey practises, outdoor netball, basketball and others, at least two netball indoor and two outdoor (same for basketball). It is under-size for full hockey apparently but was never purposed for soccer (as that will be provided on grass fields), but could still accommodate two junior soccer fields, indoor futsal etc. The remaining area of the Three Parks site will be playing fields, courts and car parking for the associated, the exact configuration still up for discussion and funding (even the forming, irrigation and grassing of a green playing field could cost hundreds of thousands) with priority given to the buildings at this stage. The total of the parking spots at Three Parks sport facility is over 300 carparks. Unfortunately, in the meantime council have failed to upkeep our reserves in a state fit for purpose. One of the overflow opinions for soccer is a couple of junior pitches at Allenby Park but due to subsidences, rabbit holes and other neglect it cannot be rented for that purpose, even though that is its designated purpose under the management plan. The 5.5ha at Three Parks will ultimately house much of the facilities we require but it’s fair to say even that won’t be large enough in the longer term. We need a proper plan and strategy led by the council to provide for all sports in the future and local support for sports coordination and clubs. I am picking that the new courts and pool will be at capacity either immediately or within five to ten years. It has proven time and time again that it is nearly impossible to over-provide in this district. Failing to keep up can be excused (given the rate of growth) I suppose, but failing to have any plan or strategy in place is just plain negligent.

With just under a month until the ski season kicks off in the town and with temperatures dropping, sights are firmly set on snow. The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research predicted the first significant snow of the season for Southern Alps peaks above 1500m this week, which comes as good news for Cardrona Alpine Resort and Treble Cone. Cardrona opens on Saturday June 11, and this year started making snow on May 11, earlier than usual, which general manager Bridget Legnavsky said was for better snow in time for opening.
“Over the last week we have had a few little snowfalls in between a lot of rain, but the good news is that the temperature dropped on Monday night for the first time, down to -8 degrees, which meant we could make snow all day on Tuesday and into the night,” Bridget said. Treble Cone’s general manager for marketing and sales, Nick Noble, said that pre-season snow across the upper mountain had been “great”. “For Treble Cone, opening is still six weeks away, and a lot can happen in six weeks at this time of year. However, we are optimistic that this early snow is a positive sign for a great season ahead, with many more snowfalls to come,” Nick said.

Paul wins in Japan, number three in world Storm-swept goal bonanza
PHOTO: SUPPLIED
STAFF REPORTER editor@thewanakasun.co.nz Wanaka mountainbiker Paul Wright has won the Junior World Series race in Yawatahama, Japan. The win earns him 60 UCI (International Cycling Union) points and puts his current ranking in the Men’s Junior UCI Cross Country World Ranking at number three. The 18-year-old has won all four New Zealand cross-country mountain-bike rounds in Rotorua, Cambridge, Wanaka and Dunedin already this season. He injured his shoulder while training just
before the Mountainbike National Championships and Oceania MTB Championships in March. His first race back after injury was the 95km course around Lake Hawea in the Contact Epic where he set a new course record on his way to winning the open male category. Paul is competing in another Junior World Series Race in Albstadt, Germany, this weekend where he is hoping to repeat his recent form. At the end of June he will be part of an 11-strong team representing New Zealand in the UCI 2016 Mountain Bike World Championships in the Czech Republic (June 29 to July 3).

Hockey players weather the elements

STAFF REPORTER editor@thewanakasun.co.nz Battling the weather as well as the opposition, local hockey teams hit the turf for their second week of competition over the weekend. The Bumblebees (pictured) played with gusto and pace but couldn’t get past their opponents from Queenstown who took the game 14-0. Despite being outplayed, this year 3-4 team never backed down. Max Bagley was awarded player of the day for his resilience in the face of a determined opposition. The Salamanders and Marsupilamis (year 5-6) found their mojo in their games against teams from Cromwell as they put into practice their coaches’ advice on passing and positioning. While the end scores didn’t go their way (8-4 and 2-1 respectively) supporters were treated to some great saves, stick skills and teamwork. Player of the THE WANAKA SUN
day for the Salamanders was Max Porter for his strength in offence and Thomas Mitchell for the Marsupilamis for impressive all-round play. The senior B reserve team made a positive start to the season against Queenstown Quest helped by Tom Heather’s ball-stealing skills and Owen Lea’s attentive moves in goal. Millie Robinson made an impressive return to hockey by scoring a goal in the first half. Ocean Allemann weaved through the opposition to score in the second half, securing the game 2-0. Under their new coach, Ian Bagley, the senior women won their first game of the season against Matakanui. Level at halftime at 1-1, the team maintained pressure and pace throughout the second half and were rewarded with two further goals. However, the game had to be called off as the turf flooded due to the torrential rain. The final score was 3-1 to Upper Clutha.

HUGH PUGH Football Correspondent Wanaka FC hosted Queenstown Athletic on Saturday at Pembroke Park in a crucial match in the Central Otago Football League. A storm-swept game produced some excellent football from both sides in a contest where QAFC needed to be at their very best if they were to hinder WFC’s nearperfect season thus far. Wanaka started in the best possible way, breaking the deadlock with just five minutes on the clock. Some intricate interplay down the right flank produced an in-swinging cross for Matt Florida to neatly finish from six yards. Before the Queenstown outfit could react WFC went 2-0 up, Matt Florida adding his second of the match. The Englishman chipped the back-tracking goalkeeper in impressive fashion. A fantastic start for the men in yellow and black. As the rain lashed down and Mount Roy disappeared under dark cloud QAFC’s afternoon suffered another set-back. After some promising breaks and possession football
following a bad start the visitors conceded a corner. Playing in his last game for the club, Matt Gilbert delivered a pin-point cross into the box which was met by a Jiffy Griffiths left foot volley. At halftime WFC were 3-0 up, with seemingly no way back for their opposition. The second half of the encounter was much the same as the first with WFC dominating play, breaking into the QAFC half whenever possible. A fine defensive performance once again from the Wanaka backline ensured yet another clean sheet, Seb Thursby, Aaron Allen and Gerrard Bonny along with goal-keeper Aaron Molloy sniffing out any threat from the visitors. WFC added two more goals in the second period, the first saw Matt Florida completing his hat-trick on 75 minutes after another excellent finish. Birthday boy Connor McClean then rounded off the win arriving in the box to convert a Matt Gilbert low cross. Final score, 5-0. Wanaka FC’s next match is this Saturday (May 21) away to old foes Frankton FC. Kick off is at 1pm at the Events Centre, Queenstown. Pictured: Matt Gilbert.

All five teams finished in the top four places, a reflection of the growth in popularity of the sport in Wanaka. Coach for the senior boys B team, who won the division two trophy for the first time, Mark Hadida, said that although the team had not done a lot of training, they managed to form a structure within the first game. “It was quite an achievement. It worked, everyone knew their task and got the job done. The only time Matt McLean disobeyed his role, he scored - what could I say?� he said.
