A map drawn in 1898, which shows Māori place names in the Wānaka and Hāwea region, is being unveiled at the Wānaka Library on Saturday - to coincide with Māori language week (July 1-7). This year’s theme for the week is Nga Ingoa Māori (Māori names) which makes the map particularly significant. Wānaka Reference and Local History librarian Jude Terpstra said it is an important taonga (treasure) for the area. “It was found in the national archives in Wellington and we have permission to make digital reproductions for display in the Wānaka, Hāwea and Makarora libraries.” Jude said the focus of Nga Ingoa Māori is to pronounce place names correctly. (For example; any vowel with a macron over it has a longer emphasis eg Wānaka is pronounced Waanaka.)

The place names on the 1898 map are those remembered by Rawiri Te Mairie, who was born at Lake Wānaka, and lived at Lake Hāwea as a child before escaping from Te PŪoho’s raid in 1836. He was a well-respected Ngāi

Tahu rangatira (leader) within both Pākehā and Māori communities. He gave the place names to surveyor Thomas Brodrick through his son Henare Te Mairie and granddaughter Mrs Tau.

He was an old man at the time, but apparently his memory of the names and knowledge of the localities were very precise. He said the Clutha/Mata-au River was called Tetawaha and the

Hāwea River was Paetarariki. Mount Iron’s name was Tewai atakaia and there was a pa called Takekararara located near where Edgewater is today.

Another highlight of the week is a talk on local Māori history by Hāwea historian Richie Hewitt (pictured with Jude), also at the library (Saturday July 6, 2pm). He has been studying the subject for nearly 20 years and with

Jude’s help recently finished the first collection of published references to pre-European Māori in the region; “Māori in the Upper Clutha and beyond: a starting point for further research.” The collection includes evidence that Māori did live here (rather than just pass through) and information about six local pa sites. “Richie’s work is the foundation document for the library’s Tangata Whenua [people of the land] Collection,” Jude said. She has been putting the collection together over many years, with a particular focus on southern Māori . “What makes our area especially interesting is there are nine rununga [tribal groups] which have traditional rights to live and gather resources here,” she said. “That’s quite different from what happened in the North Island.”

A second talk on Māori history is being given next week (Tuesday July 9, 6pm) as part of the Mountain Film Festival. Ngāi Tahu kaumatua Sir Tipene O’Regan is talking about Māori history associated with the South Island high country, focusing on the Central Otago Lakes region.

A sheep attack on farmland in the Studholme Road area has resulted in the death of two dogs after farmers, police and dog control officers caught the animals attacking a ram last week.

T h e d o g s , b o t h Rhodesian Ridgebacks, were put down after the owners came forward.

The attack is the third in the Mount Aspiring Road area in the past year, but the first in which the dogs were caught and impounded.

QLDC animal control officer Anthony Hall said the dogs’ owner was identified by the registration tags and came forward and voluntarily requested the dogs be destroyed. No charges have been laid and the

owner’s identity will not be public information, Anthony said.

The ram the dogs had attacked is still alive.

In July of last year five pet sheep were attacked in a paddock just off Mount Aspiring Road and had to be put down. The dogs were not identified at the time but were presumed to be large powerful animals due to the damage done, the sheep owner said.

A Christchurch couple who love Mount Aspiring National Park has committed at least ten years of funding to a project which will help protect threatened native species in the Matukituki valley.

Derek (pictured) and Gillian Crombie have formed the Matukituki Charitable Trust and would have been in the valley last week laying pest tracking tunnels had it not been for the snow. (This will now be done in the spring.)

The Matukituki Protection Project is a joint one between the Crombie’s trust and the Department of Conservation.

The Crombies have a holiday house at Lake Hawea and have spent many holidays tramping and climbing in the park. “We find the spectacular scenery a great stress release,” Gillian said. (She is an accountant and Derek is a civil engineer.) “Over the last 30 years we have developed a special interest in the West Matukituki as we noticed a decrease in the bird population there,” she said.

DOC Area Manager Paul Hellebrekers said data for the project including possum and

rat numbers has already been recorded and trap lines have been laid for stoats.

“The next step will be to recruit volunteers to help with pest trapping and monitoring beech seed fall and wildlife,” he said. “Our long-term aim is to expand pest control to the East Matukituki and the lower catchment of the valley, and to include conservation land and neighbouring private land, with

the support of landowners.” More sponsors are being sought for the project.

Adventurer Bear Grylls and the Queenstown-based Mountain Film Unit donated $10,000 towards the project after filming a television series in the valley earlier this year.

“We received wonderful support from the people of Wanaka and any donation we can make for the preservation

of this environment is a small way for us to say thank you,” Mountain Film Unit’s Julian Grimmond said.

Bear Grylls said he hopes the donation will “preserve and protect the amazing wilderness” for the locals whom he described as: “Pioneers in attitude and openness and an example to the world of how to achieve good things under pressure and always with a smile.”

A Lake Hawea fire brigade volunteer credited with helping save the lives of two women trapped upside down in a car after it skidded on snow and plunged into a stream has asked to stay anonymous.

“ H e d o e s n ’ t w a n t a n y

accolades, but a lot of people wouldn’t have had a clue what to do. He has a range of practical outdoor skills as well as his fire brigade training,” Lake Hawea Fire Chief Doug Brenssell said.

D r i v i n g s o u t h f r o m Christchurch, the man was first on the scene of the crash below Elephant Hill Bridge

near Waimate at about 5.30pm on June 21.

U s i n g s o m e e l e c t r i c a l cord he had in the back of his car he lowered himself down to the vehicle which had f l ipped and sunk in the icy water with only the undercarriage exposed.

T w o p a s s e n g e r s w e r e trapped inside with their

heads in the footwells and only inches of air to breath.

The man stayed there for 30 minutes reassuring the two women until rescue services with the jaws of life arrived and were able to free them.

“Credit where credit is due, those people are alive thanks to his efforts,” Doug said.

The Upper Clutha Women’s Support Group, Wanakafest Community Trust and Winter Games NZ are all recipients of this month’s round of funding from the Central Lakes Trust. Twelve grants totalled $373,133 with UCWSG receiving $21,520 to assist with its seven-day, 24-hour support service. Wanakafest Community Trust received $10,000 and Winter Games NZ received $60,000.

A request for a $3.5million investment by the Otago Regional Council into a $39.2million irrigation scheme proposed for Tarras was rejected last Thursday.ORC chairman Stephen Woodhead said the council worked with Tarras Water Ltd as the proposed scheme progressed to full design. However, before deciding whether or not to invest it also had to weigh up the benefits and risks of financial involvement in such projects, and balance any potential support against ORC’s overriding obligation to consider the likely impact of any investment on all Otago ratepayers.As the detailed scheme plan evolved and ORC did due diligence, it became apparent that Tarras Water was unable to meet all of the council’s conditions, and the risks and uncertainties associated with the investment were beyond what the council was prepared to accept, he said in a media statement.“The council also could not ignore the depth of feeling in some parts of the community about the wisdom of ORC investing in the scheme, or their concern about the impact such a commitment would have on rates.”

Fundraisers for the p r o p o s e d W a n a k a hospice have received two substantial donations this week. Resident Brian Kreft (pictured left) has donated $1000, and Paper Plus has too.

Brian’s wife Norma died 15 months ago. “She wanted to die here in Wanaka but there were no facilities,” Brian said, explaining why he was so keen to support the hospice proposal. “We had excellent care from Dunstan Hospital, but it would have been nice for her to have been closer to home.”

Wanaka Paper Plus Manager Chris Lumsden (right) donated $1000 on behalf of the store. Chris is well known for being

community-minded and often raises money for groups such as LANDSAR and St John through book-related events.

Receiving the cheques

on Monday were hospice trustees Ray Rudkin and Margaret Hay. The other trustees are Russell McGeorge and Neville Dippie. The trust has a

fundraising opportunity shop opening soon and is keen to get a two-bed hospice and respite care facility up and running as soon as possible.

The first ever interhouse senior school haka competition at Mount Aspiring College is set to be an annual event after an “amazing” display.

“I must say Friday was the highlight of my teaching career,” Te Reo

Maori teacher Jeromy van Riel said.

The teams had three weeks of practice prior to the performance, using video clips and Jeromy’s input.

The haka used by all the teams was one Jeromy had written with students three years ago which conveyed key values,

ambitions and sentiments held by the school, he said.

Initially there had been resistance, reluctance and doubt from some students and staff as many had never performed or even seen a haka performed live.

“All our fears and doubts were overcome on

the day. The first haka was amazing and they just kept being amazing. I loved that the staff also actively participated beside the students,” he said.

A piece of pounamu was presented to the winning house, Barker, by Jeromy as a trophy to be contested for every year.

This give way sign was snapped from its foundations on the corner of Matai Road and Manuka Crescent and moved about 60m up the road before being dumped. The offenders also uprooted a yellow fire hydrant marker and discarded beer bottles. As the QLDC maintains road signs like this one, ratepayers will be paying the bill for this act of vandalism.

Vandalism costs ratepayer

Applications for the first round of event funding by the QLDC are being called for with an annual commitment of $700,000.

“We will be injecting $700,000 into attracting and ensuring the success of major economic events, niche events, major community events and local community events. It’s a pretty modest investment when you consider the return,” Mayor Vanessa van Uden said.

E v e n t f u n d i n g a p p l i c a t i o n s f o r commercial and local community events opened

on Monday. Applications were being called for both round one (events held in the period July 29 to October 31 2013) and round two (November 1 to April 30 2014). Applications for round one would close on July 26 2013, in order to fund winter/spring events in the current calendar year. Applications for round two would close on August 30.

Local community events applying for $5000 or less could apply annually, at any time.

A panel consisting of the mayor, a councillor, the chief executive, Lake

Wanaka Tourism GM, Destination Queenstown CE (also representing the Arrowtown Promotion and Business Association) - and where events are of national significance or subject to national funding, an independent (out of district) executive to act in an advisory capacity - would convene to consider a p p l i c a t i o n s u n d e r $30,000, twice a year. In the event that applications s e e k i n g m o r e t h a n $30,000, the panel would make a recommendation f o r c o n s i d e r a t i o n by Council.

Albert Town identity E l l a H e b b a r d ( n e e Templeton), died on June 23 aged 92, and her funeral was held at St Andrew’s on Friday. She was very much an Albert Town girl. She was born there and she died there. Her parents Charles and Ivy Templeton lived there, as did both sets of grandparents - James and Sarah Templeton, and Charles and Martha Morris, and her children Alison and Bruce both live there today.

Ella led a full life and was well known for her sense of humour.

She was born in 1920, and from the age of five helped milk the family cows every morning before going to the primary school, (then called Wanaka School) in Albert Town. Later she completed her schooling at Cromwell District High, staying with her aunt - Bella Wrightson.

Ella’s father was a blacksmith and legend has it she drove the

family car from the age of eight - as delivery girl for Dad. When she turned 15 she rang the local council official to make an appointment to sit her driver’s licence. Apparently his response was, “Oh haven’t you got it yet, I’ll post one right out to you”. Son Bruce said she held that licence unblemished for 78 years.

In 1940 Ella started her nursing training in Dunedin. She met her late husband Loftus there and they were married on his final leave before the war. As a single man Loftus only got one shilling a day, but as a married man he got four. The extra he sent home to Ella, and by the time he returned from the war

they had saved enough money for a deposit on a house.

Ella continued nursing, at Dunstan Hospital, during the war, and when Loftus returned h o m e t h e y t o o k a three-month holiday using his serviceman’s railway pass.

Their two children Alison and Bruce were born in Dunedin and in

1953 the family shifted to Mosgiel where Ella and Loftus owned and ran a shoe shop for 17 years.

They moved to Albert Town in 1990, and Ella lived in their home until the week before she died.

She was a member of Plunket, the League of Mothers, the Hearing A s s o c i a t i o n , S e n i o r Citizens, the Dambuster’s 617 Association, the VW owners club, and the Brevet Club.

When she died, Ella had worn a hearing aid for 60 years. Hearing problems plagued her most of her life. She got a hearing dog called Mischa in 2005 and the family said they were a wonderful team. Mischa attended Ella’s funeral along with her many friends and relatives including Alison and B r u c e , h e r b r o t h e r Ralph Templeton and his wife Ethel, her sister Sheila Pringle, sister-in-law Kath Templeton, and her many nieces and nephews.

A photo of one of the two almost completed entrance signs to Wanaka, which was posted on the Wanaka Sun facebook page on Monday, has received a number of “likes” with the general consensus from locals being that it looks “awesome”.The schist stone and metal signs, one located on the north side of the state highway just before Puzzling World, and one on the west side of Cardrona Valley Road adjacent to Oakridge Resort, have since been covered up until the official unveiling which is yet to be announced. The signs cost about $10,000 which was 50 percent funded by Lions, Rotary and the Wanaka Residents Association and 50 percent funded by QLDC.

Plunket welcomes the law change increasing the age limit for the mandatory use of child car restraints from age five to age seven. “Car crashes are one of the biggest dangers to New Zealand children. We have one of the highest child road fatality rates in the OECD. Around five children are killed or injured every week on this country’s roads,” Plunket’s National Child Safety Advisor Sue Campbell said. “[Monday’s] law change is a positive step towards reducing this number – it means that five and six-year-olds will be better protected. The simple truth is car seats and boosters seats save lives.”

Collecting sheep dung and pinecones to sell in bags and gathering pea straw will occupy five local school students’ spare time for the next few months.The MAC students are on a mission to raise funds for a three-week visit to Vietnam including Christmas at an orphanage as part of a World Challenge expedition. The trip is described as an exercise in self-development with the group having to organise their own transport, accommodation and the voluntary work they do with local communities, student Tessa Henderson said. The group plan to leave in mid-December and will be accompanied by two teachers. As well as their voluntary work, they plan to do a multi-day trek.Pictured here with their locally-sourced products, Angus Ford, Alex Hardaker, Tessa Henderson, Phily Cross and Hannah Gerrard have a fundraising target of $7000 each to reach.

Vietnam challenge for students

Getting an exhibition of 50 works by Grahame Sydney is quite a coup for the Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery in Alexandra.

“We’re very excited as it’s well known that Grahame does not exhibit his work often,” Central Stories Project Manager

Rachel Checketts said. Grahame is Arts Patron of Central Stories and the gallery invited him to exhibit his work. The show includes 50 photographs and opens next Thursday (July 11), with an open artist’s talk on August 11.

Grahame is one of New Zealand’s best known artists, and is renowned for his landscapes of Central Otago. His work

includes oils, egg tempera, watercolours, lithographs, etching, photography and, more recently, film. The iconic ‘Rozzie at Pisa’ hangs in Wellington at Te Papa Tongarewa, and his ‘Self-Portrait at Fifty’ is held by the Christchurch Art Gallery.

He now paints for a private client list and p r o d u c e s n o m o r e than six works a year.

His paintings are rarely exhibited for public sale, however his lithographs and photographs, and reproduced prints of his paintings, have sold in their thousands. He was awarded an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to painting in 2003.

Pictured is Fisherman’s Hut , Fal ls Dam, by Grahame Sydney.

He is an attractive WWI hero who manages to move successfully between aristocrats and working men (and women) to p i e c e t o g e t h e r t h e apparently accidental deaths of five regimental English wives and bring the perpetrator to justice. He is a character of high ideals, and the story weaves together mystery, romance, period and historical detail, and

This is a well-written, quiet and engaging story with interesting twists, a little political and racial comment, mingled with romantic interest, period description and interest. It will entertain those who enjoy Louise Penny or Jason Goodwin but Joe has more grit than Agatha Raisin (M C Beaton) and I look forward to reading the complete series now held by Wanaka Library.

The Last Kashmiri Rose

Wanaka Library is having an open day on Saturday (July 6) to celebrate two anniversaries; it is 125 years since it was first established and ten years since the new building opened.

The first Wanaka Public Library (pictured) opened in 1887 on the site of the current council service centre in Ardmore Street. Various buildings on the site housed Wanaka’s ever-growing library, including the existing one. It became cramped and was described by long-time librarian (the late) Margaret Trimble as “a cupboard that we worked in for far too long”. At the

opening of the current library in July 2003 the then mayor Clive Geddes commended the “ankle-

biting tenacity of Wanaka librarians who kept at the community board members and council with statistics

and submissions. They left no doubt the facility was unable to adequately serve its burgeoning client base.”

The new library, designed by Queenstown architect Noel Tapp, was five times the size of the old one and cost $2million. In the first six months 500 new borrowers signed up and in the first year the number of issues increased by 33 percent (Issues at the Queenstown Library dropped by 0.5 percent in the same period). The Wanaka Library now has 6000 members and 200,000 issues a year, with both figures increasing by about 5 percent every year.

The celebrations on Saturday will include stories

read aloud, goody bags, balloons and chocolate cake for children in the morning, and talks, displays and music for everyone in the afternoon. Local bands Roaring Meg and Loch Ceol will play a range of music including Irish, classical and jazz. The Upper Clutha Historical Records Society room will be open to the public, Richie Hewitt will talk about the Maori history of the Upper Clutha and the Wanaka Genealogy Group will provide an opportunity for visitors to find out about their ancestors. There will also be celebrations for Hairy Maclary’s 30th birthday. The library will be open from 10am until 5pm.

The festival’s winning films include a journey to the top of an unclimbed 6310m granite buttress in India, kayaking down NZ’s most hidden rapids and a rope-less speed climb of three 1000m Yosemite big walls. Film-makers follow the search for the best peaks on the planet to snowboard, the perfect waterfalls to kayak and the quest for flight through the mastery of wing suits. Stand-up paddle-boarders and surfers in Canada offer an insight into the untold vulnerability of our environment, and activists expose illegal dolphin hunting in Japan.

The commonality amongst the winning films is the elasticity of human spirit stretching to meet the mental requirements and physical conditions of these self-propelled goals. The stunning cinematography gives the real sense of temperature, space, emotion and the breadth of human character. Festival-goers will choose the ‘Peoples Choice’ award during the festival, which runs July 5 to 9 in Wanaka and on July 13 to 14 in Queenstown. ‘The Sharks Fin’ took out the Grand Prize of US$1000, and the winner of the Best New Zealand film award for the film Flow Hunters Ben Brown said, “it was a nice surprise to win this award in such a well respected film festival.”

Professional mountaineer Cory Richards is this year’s headline speaker. Richards made a name for himself after achieving the first ever winter ascent of an 8000m mountain in Pakistan. The resulting film won the Grand Prize in Wanaka (2011), Banff (Canada) and several other film festivals around the world. Richards will speak in Wanaka on July 6 and in Queenstown on July 13.

Also speaking in Wanaka this year are Cas and Jonesy; two Aussie explorers who recently made history by completing the longest ever unsupported polar expedition. After skiing 2275km, carrying everything they needed to survive they made it back to the coast 89 gruelling days later. Four years earlier they ‘Crossed the Ditch’, paddling 3318km (also without assistance) across the Tasman Sea and their film featured in the 2011 Festival. Kiwis Blair Smith and Dave Johns will also speak on their epic ski adventure that started in Beijing and travelled west across China, central Asia and all the way to Europe. Ngāi Tahu kaumātua, Sir Tipene O’Regan will present a talk on the Māori history associated with the South Island high country, focusing on the Central Otago Lakes region.

New for 2013 is the formation of the non-profit NZ Mountain Film Festival Charitable Trust. The Trust will promote healthy and active lifestyles through its annual mountain film festival, . It will encourage youth to make small safe adventures in the outdoors; inspire people to reach their full potential; work cooperatively with others in the youth development area; help people with disabilities get into outdoor activities; and promote NZ arts, film, culture, environment and outdoor lifestyles.

Fun Sticks come out to play

Home win for under-16sUpper Clutha under-16 rugby team, pictured on the attack during the Saturday afternoon game against John McGlashan, scored 51 point to their opposition’s to take the win.Upper Clutha under-14 team lost 7-27 to Otago Boys.

After three cancelled tournaments the Fun Sticks finally got to play hockey on Sunday in C r o m w e l l . U p p e r Clutha entered two teams, UC Gold and UC Bumblebees, and both teams did well with two wins and one loss each. Amy Benson, Daisy Sanders, Arthur Cartlidge, Ruby Cochrane and Nicola Mackay were the players of the day.

The Minis also played on Sunday against a good team from Alexandra Primary School. There was some great defence from Maggie Dougherty and Alex had to wait well into the first half before taking the lead. Zoe Frazer made a great

run up the left wing for UC but they could not convert. UC struggled to get out of their own half after the break. Bronte Crowe made some excellent clearances and James Dougherty worked hard all over the pitch and was unlucky not to score. Alex added a second goal before Billie Crowe pegged one back, however Alex scored again to leave the final score 3-1. James Dougherty and India Yule picked up the player of the day honours.

The Kiwi Stick teams played on Saturday. The Jaguars continued their unbeaten form with a 7-2 win over Manuherikia, but it was

not as comfortable as the scoreline suggests. Manuherikia started with great purpose, opening up a 2-0 lead. The Jaguars responded, scoring three rapid goals through Milly Robinson (two) and Ocean Allemann to lead 3-2 at the break. The second half was better as UC pinned the opposition back and added a further f o u r g o a l s . O c e a n finished with four and Ines Stephani scoring the other. The Hornets played next, taking a first half lead through Lily King and playing some excellent hockey, but after the break Maniototo scored three goals to turn the game around. Patrick Cotter added a second

for UC but they ran out of time to level things up. Players of the day went to Milly Robinson and Teana Haines.

T h e K w i k S t i c k s had an excellent win against Cromwell on Thursday with a great team performance. UC were strong in attack throughout the game and Bria Hight and Sammy Burke scored in quick succession. Mel Telford added a third to make the halftime score 3-0. Cromwell got a goal in the second half before Bria added her second for a final score of 4-1. Ocean Allemann was player of the day for his outstanding work in defence.

Ski-tourers and backcountry users can attend a free avalanche workshop given by one of New Zealand’s most experienced heli-ski guides next Monday. Whitney Thurlow is the former training officer for the New Zealand Mountain Guides Association and has skied and climbed throughout New Zealand since 1979. His workshop focuses on tours to do in the Wanaka area, tips to improve safety, how to plan and research, gear to take and rescue.The workshop is part of the Mountain Film Festival held at the Lake Wanaka Centre and has a spot prize of a day’s heli-skiing for attendees.

Goals galore for senior playersUpper Clutha senior h o c k e y w o m e n ( p i c t u r e d ) p l a y e d Q u e e n s t o w n o n Saturday in a hard-f o u g h t m a t c h . Q u e e n s t o w n t o o k an early lead with a deflection by an UC player close to the top of the circle. Originally ruled to have been touched outside the circle, but overruled by the further away umpire who gave a controversial own goal to Queenstown. UC hit back hard with Pru Heaney equalising, but Queenstown edged

ahead again from a scrappy penalty corner. Pru Heaney added her second goal after good work from Jackie Faulks and Emma Seward at a penalty corner but Queenstown once more took the lead. It was 3-2 at the break. In the second half Sarah Quinn and Lucy Annan moved the ball well and pushed forward; Sarah was able to apply a great finish to another penalty corner. Queenstown yet again took the lead with a flick into the net with 15 minutes left on the clock. But

there was still time for another comeback and Pru Heaney completed her hat-trick and levelled the scores at 4-4 for a thrilling draw. Their next game is at 1.30pm on July 6 against Wakatipu.

It was another good win for the UC men on Monday night, beating Queenstown Gold 3-0, and taking their winning streak to four games. UC dominated the first half, creating chances, but the Queenstown goalkeeper was in inspired form and held UC at bay for the first 20 minutes. Angus Ford finally opened the

scoring, slotting in from a tight angle from the inside post, before Matt Pearson quickly added an excellent second goal to give UC a 2-0 lead at the break. The second half was a little more subdued from UC. Callum Campbell in goal coped comfortably with the Queenstown attack. Jeff Ward added another goal for UC to seal the 3-0 win and secure their slot at second in the table. The men now have a mid-season break before taking on Queenstown Blue in four weeks’ time.

Parking response

I would like to respond on behalf of Treble Cone to the Wanaka Sun TXT message board in regard to ski field staff parking in the Dungarvon Street car park. For the past eight years Treble Cone has made the Wanaka Showgrounds its staff transport pick-up point in addition to collecting staff from near their homes on a loop around Wanaka and Albert Town to alleviate Treble Cone staff vehicles utilising car parking centrally in town.

Traffic concerns

I write regarding concerns relating to traffic safety on Anderson Road, particularly adjacent to the commercial area but also including the complete road length. The relatively narrow carriageway where parking on both sides of the road is allowed is a serious problem. Since the subdivision of the commercial area and construction of the present roadway, traffic volumes have increased considerably as have the number of bicycles being used, and careless opening of doors for instance leaves little room for error. Large vehicles and trucks can often be seen encroaching on or over the centre line. School children from various areas to the east of Anderson Road are required to cross or travel on the road (again in increasing numbers). Improved access to Albert Town and various subdivisions have ensured traffic volume has increased, but no obvious improvements have been made to Anderson Road. The relatively large Northlake subdivision now under construction on Aubrey Road will contribute further to an increase in traffic, but I am not aware of any proposed alterations to Anderson Road. As an immediate improvement, I would suggest that no parking be allowed on one side of the road only (probably the east side). I did write to the Council when the area was being subdivided, suggesting that a separate road be provided for the commercial area alongside a through road. I assumed the undeveloped area on the east side of Anderson Road had been set aside for this purpose, and I believe this should now be used in some way to improve safety. Perhaps additional property purchase might also be necessary.

EDITORIAL

A growing town

It is time to step back and focus on Wanaka’s natural features which will continue to attract permanent residents and holiday- makers alike: Lake Wanaka, Mount Aspiring National Park on our doorstep, skiable mountains also on our doorstep.Since this photo was taken of local boys enjoying the view in 1982, there are now in Wanaka: four schools instead of one, four preschools instead of one, a health centre to be proud of, two retirement villages, more than 17 major sub-divisions already established, and others on the drawing board. Planning is about the future. To plan for ten years is irresponsible and only appeases a minority. To plan for 25 to 30 years is to plan for growth and future generations.

Winter vandalism and aggression after a night on the town in Wanaka is the ugly side of an industry that brings a lot of positives to town.Why do a select number of seasonal visitors have such a limited view of the world around them that they need to turn their stumble homewards into a demolition derby trashing traffic signs, road cones, fire hydrant markers and letterboxes?Much of the stuff that seems to attract their addled attention is either installed for safety or someone’s private property.Apart from the cost and inconvenience the intimidation factor of a group of drunken ferals careening from one side of the road to the other, seemingly hellbent on destruction, is not a good thing.The consequences of late night incidents escalating into violence are well documented and other members of the public are probably wisest to just walk away from a potential confrontation.Over the New Year’s holiday period visitors with an appetite for obnoxious behaviour are sent packing. Could that be a solution for winter as well?

Former Wallabies captain and their most capped player, George Gregan, made an appearance at the Upper Clutha rugby grounds on Monday.

With 139 games in the Australian jersey including a World Cup victory in 1999, George now spends much of his time on the sidelines as one of the coaches of the Mosman Barracuda’s under-12 rugby team who make an annual trip to Queenstown to play a number of Otago teams. The Mosman junior rugby club is considered one of Australia’s largest with more than 700 players.

Previous coaches for the club’s trip to New Zealand have included John Eales and Phil Kearns.

This is the eighth year the “Cuda’s” have made the trip with the boys and their parents also enjoying jetboating, helicopter flights, a ski field visit and paintball, George said.

His son Max is the fullback in the team which defeated Upper Clutha 25-17.

As well as a record number of games for the Wallabies, George also became well known to New Zealand rugby fans for his “four more years boys, four more years” taunt to rival halfback

Byron Kelleher in the final minutes of a game in which Australia knocked the All Blacks out of the semi-finals of the 2003 World Cup.

His match-saving tackle on Jeff Wilson in a 1994 Bledisloe Cup game has also been replayed often enough for most New Zealand supporters

Pictured with UCRFC Junior president Dean Millar, George was in a diplomatic frame of mind, praising the range of activities in the area and regretting missing out on a planned ski day as he has to head back to watch the Wallabies in their final test against the Lions.

Juniors take on Aussies

MAC-Verdon lacking structureThe Mount Aspiring College 1st XV hosted Verdon Col lege in Wanaka on Saturday.

Both teams ended the first round without a win and it showed in a scrappy game lacking continuity. The MAC team through Cam McKerchar scored from

the kick-off to give the local supporters hope of a good win. Unfortunately the g a m e c o n t i n u e d w i t h o u t a n y structure with both teams committ ing basic errors.

A late penalty from the Verdon first-five

gave the visitors a one-point lead which they defended to the final whistle to win 11-10. Coach Hamish Crosbie was justifiably disappointed with the effort and lack o f s t r u c t u r e f r o m his team. “They can play so much better,”

he said.Elliot Mason and

Max Schikker were players of the day for their sustained effort and positive attitude.

The next game for the Mount Aspiring College team is against St Kevin’s in Cromwell next Saturday.

inbrief

The Senior B hockey team took on the Dunstan Titans on Friday night and despite a committed team effort they lost 4-0. Philly Cross and Will Gerrard played well holding a high defensive line and behind them Tristan Weastall made some great saves to keep Dunstan out. Brad Jackson was player of the day and had a great game delivering some terrific balls into the circle but unfortunately Upper Clutha was unable to capitalise.

In a busy weekend for junior rugby Open Grade Black (pictured scoring a try) beat Open Grade Gold 29-5 at the showgrounds on Saturday. In the under-10 division Upper Clutha Gold bet Upper Clutha Black 9-4 and the under-11 team had a bye.

For more results see page 13.

Senior B hockey

Black versus gold in local ties

For the second and final time of the 2013 season, local rivals Wanaka FC and Wanaka Braves battled it out in their Central Otago league fixture at Pembroke Park.

The two teams are fortunate enough to be able to train together twice a week for the last six months. Not many other teams in the league can boast of training

sessions where full-size practice matches can take place and it has shown in their performances this season that they are reaping the benefits of such a luxury.

With bragging rights and pride at stake the game kicked off at a high tempo. Young Olly Ceci lasted only ten minutes before succumbing to a season-ending injury. After the restart Allan Carmichael provided the corner for Aidan

Butler to sneak in at the back post to open the scoring. Finn Moore (pictured) then found himself in a bit of space 25 yards from goal, driving the ball low and hard into the far corner. The score remained 2-0 until half time.

The Braves gave a good account of themselves but sometimes lacked the final killer move.

Into the second half, Allan scored from the penalty spot,

Finn added another two for his hat trick and Aidan chipped in with three more goals, including a 35-yard lob of the goal-keeper to make the final score 8-0.

Wanaka FC are now four points clear at the top of the table with three games to play. This Saturday Wanaka FC travel to Jacks Point to play Galaxy and the Braves have a tricky tie in Alexandra against Alex A.
