he Department of Conservation Maka-rora Visitor Centre is closing its doors permanently despite receiving 16,000

visitors last season. This was announced by DOC partnerships ranger Ruth Harrison at an information session in Makarora on Tuesday.

“Locals were not happy, particularly people from the Makarora Tourist Centre,” Ruth said.

More than 20 people attended the meeting which was led by Ruth, with support from DOC’s acting partnership manager Annette Grieve.

Ruth said keeping the centre open did not fit in with DOC’s National Strategy for Visitor Cen-tres. “We have been struggling with the centre for a period of time,” she said. “We sometimes have difficulty finding staff, the number of visitors has flatlined, it doesn’t have many of

the features we like to have in our centres and we can’t make a business case for increasing investment there.”

The centre, which used to open for the summer months, received 16,000 visitors last season (December to April). Ruth said this did not compare well with the department’s Wanaka Visitor Centre where numbers increased to 38,000 for the same period.

Makarora Tourist Centre owner Rhondda Osmers said although they suspected the DOC centre would close, locals were still stunned at the announcement.

“I’m still trying to get my head around it,” she said. “It’s a health and safety issue. Trampers will come to the tourist centre wanting informa-tion on track conditions and weather forecasts which will put my crew under pressure. They don’t have that information. They’re busy and they don’t have the time trampers need.”

DOC asked for expressions of interest regard-

ing the future use of the visitor centre building, which will be rented out by DOC.

“The best option would be something that fits into the tourism hub,” Ruth said.

The department would like it to be used by local operators or someone in the community for something in keeping with DOC’s guidelines. Ideally they would keep the front of the building open displaying up-to-date track information and weather forecasts (provided by DOC).

“But that would depend on who takes over the building,” Ruth said. “They wouldn’t be under any obligation to do that.”

Ruth said ideas discussed at the meeting, in response to the closure announcement, included increased signage in the area for tracks and a public telephone with direct access to the DOC Wanaka Visitor Centre.

DOC will continue to employ two rangers based at Makarora for field and track work, she said.

Southern District Health Board Commissioner Kathy Grant has appointed a third deputy commis-sioner.

Dr Angela Pitchford will join Richard Thomson and Graham Crombie as deputy commissioners.

“Dr Pitchford will bring to the commissioner team a strong clini-cal focus. Her clinical experience and knowledge of South Island dis-trict health boards will complement the skills of the other two deputy commissioners,” Kathy Grant said.

“I have full confidence in this commissioner team. I believe it is well balanced and equipped with the skills needed.”

Dr Pitchford’s appointment takes effect this week.

Eleven former health board members were sacked by Minister of Health Jonathan Coleman in June this year due to an increas-ing financial deficit. He appointed legal consultant Kathy Grant as commissioner, who in turn has now appointed three deputies.

Wanaka barman David Dooley (pictured) is competing in the finals of a national competition to find the next ‘Don of Tequila’. David made it to the final with his cocktail ‘The Volando’ – a blend of tequila and coffee.

David, who works at Lalaland, is one of six final-ists battling it out today.

The winner, together with finalists from other countries, will be taken to the Jose Cuervo distillery

in the town of Tequila, Mexico, for the international final.

The global competition has drawn entries from thousands of bartenders around the world. When the finalists are in Mexico they will get to harvest and bottle their own crop of agave on the Jose Cuervo Tequila estate.

Tequila has been made on the estate for more than 250 years.

Police in Dunedin are now keeping a watchful eye over Wanaka as seven surveillance cameras in the CBD have been linked to Dunedin Central Police Station

The Dunedin Central Police Station has also gained access to 18 surveillance cameras in Queenstown.

The cameras operate 24 hours a day and will be monitored by staff at the station’s Southern District Command Centre.

Wanaka police senior sergeant Allan Grindell said the cameras were already in operation in Wanaka, however due to staffing levels they did not have the capability to monitor them at all times.

“The cameras are situated in the CBD at locations of high public use such as licensed premises and food outlets. The district command centre, based in Dunedin, will have an overview in real-time of the southern police district.”

Sergeant Grindell said the cameras have proven very useful, both during investigations and as a crime-prevention tool.

Michele Poole, Communications Manager at Queenstown Lakes District Council, said that although the QLDC owns and maintains the cameras, the CCTV is the police’s project and they are paying the cost of linking the camera network to the Dunedin command centre.

“QLDC is working with the police to develop a 15-year plan for the whole CCTV camera network in Wanaka, Arrowtown and Queenstown. In the future that could include other elements like signage and education as well as the cameras themselves. Mobile cameras could be a possibility for events, as well as the fixed sites,” said Michelle.

A new charitable trust that helps people affected by disability, injury and illness across the Upper Clutha region is urgently seeking donations.

Rehabilitation and Disability Services was formed in April and up until now has been funded personally by founder Leah McTaggart.

Leah started the trust after a former centre, where Leah was manager and which provided the same services, was forced to close its doors when its head office lost out on some major funding.

Leah’s organisation is a non-profit service that offers tools and advice to assist those affected by disability, injury and illness in living a more independent life.

The service covers the Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago districts, with a main centre in Queenstown and contacts available in both Crom-well and Alexandra. Without it, people would have to travel to Dunedin or Invercargill to receive the

same assistance.“A variety of people use our service. We have

elderly people with permanent disabilities or age-related illnesses, people in their 40s and 50s who are undergoing reconstruction surgery on hips and ankles and young people who have been injured on the ski fields.

“We offer help with adaptive equipment to help daily living, advocacy services and individual funding applications.

“We desperately need donations because up until now my husband and I have personally funded it but those funds are depleted. Because we are a charitable trust we have applied for fund-ing but that can take two or three months to come through and we really need help to get by during these next important few months,” said Leah.

Visit www.rds.org.nz for more information. Donations can be made directly to the charity’s account: Rehabilitation and Disabilities Services, 38 9016 0881157 00.

Rehab and disability service seeks donations

A fundraiser for Nepal held at Federal Diner raised more than $24,000 on Tuesday night. Organised by Kirsty Hewitt and Dan Rutledge, the event included dinner for 60 people, guest speakers and an auction.

“Everyone was so generous,” Kirsty said. “There were some iconic bids and one man spent $5,000.” Items being auctioned included locally made wine and spirits, Wanaka lamb and heli-ski trips.

Food for the meal was donated by Bidvest and Wanaka Patisseries and wine by Vinpro. Federal Diner staff gave their time free-of-charge including chefs Sam Metcalfe and Brona Parsons (pictured preparing coconut, tamarind and chilli braised pork).

“The food was sensational,” said Kirsty. Her son Harry and Guy Cotter’s son Elmo were volunteer waiters on the night. Guy (Adventure Consultants CEO) was one of three speakers. The other two were mountain guides Lydia Bradey and Mike Roberts. Mike emphasised one of the best things people can do to help Nepal is to continue to go there as tourists.

“I understand New Zealand was the first country to downgrade its travel advisory to Nepal, enabling travellers to get insurance and open up tourism to Nepal again,” he told the Wanaka Sun. Mike has guided 10 trips up Mount Everest and sum-mited seven times. Later this year he is guiding an Adventure Consultants climb up Manaslu (north-west of Kathmandu) – the eighth highest mountain in the world.

“It’s going to be very emotional seeing our Sherpa again,” he said. Adventure Consultants lost six Sherpa in the avalanche which struck Everest Basecamp after the earthquake on April 25. “Our cook lost his brother and an uncle in the avalanche, and many Sherpa have lost friends, family mem-bers and their homes. But they all need work so it’s great we are going back.”

During his talk Mike acknowledged the recent naming of an icy mountain range on Pluto - “Nor-gay Montes” - after Tensing Norgay who summited Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953.

“That first trip to the top of Everest would have been like a journey to another planet for them,” he said. “It’s great to see Tensing being acknowledged and it’s great there is still enthusiasm for adven-ture, even if it means going to other planets.”

Mike also spoke about the work of the Himalayan Trust which will be the recipient of money raised during the evening at Federal Diner. The trust was founded by Hillary and helps the people of the Everest region, particularly with healthcare and education. After the monsoon season it will be rebuilding medical facilities and schools, replacing the temporary structures it has put in place since the earthquakes earlier this year.

More than $24,000 raised for NepalNew name for sports facilityWanaka Community Board (WCB) has asked publicly on Facebook for ideas for the name of the Wanaka Sports Facility. WCB Chairperson Rachel Brown said the name that has been used so far is just a working title. “It’s a general idea and we’re just throwing it out there right now and seeing what people think. We might find that people would like to keep the current name, but we might be able to come up with a better name.”

Stop smoking challengeWanaka health groups have joined forces to help local smokers kick the habit by joining the next WERO Stop Smoking Competition. The competition runs from September 1 until November 30 and involves teams of 10 who would like to give up smoking. The teams compete to have the most people successfully stop smoking after three months, and the opportunity to win $5,000 cash for a charity or community group of their choice. People inter-ested in joining should visit www.wero.me

One of the Wanaka families on a list of people wanting assistance to buy “affordable” housing is not interested in the properties currently on offer through the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust (QLCHT).

Mother-of-three Bevin Young (pictured) said the two-bedroom houses on offer in Kirimoko Park from $415,000 would be a bad buy.

“To me, $415,000 for a two-bedroom house on 336m2 of land is in no way, shape, or form, affordable. Don’t get me wrong, the Hous-ing Trust is doing a phenomenal thing, they’re working with what they’ve got, but these prices are absolutely insane.

“There’s no way I could ever justify spending eight times our annual income on a two-bedroom house,” she said. “There’s nowhere in the world that would be a good idea.”

Bevin and husband Jonny registered with the trust six years ago. She says with $415,000 you could buy a full-size section in Albert Town or West Meadows and put a three-bedroom “proper sized” house on it, so the Kirimoko Park opportu-nity is not attractive to first home buyers.

“We’re not interested in buying a house here

right now, and we wouldn’t be even if we were millionaires, because we don’t believe the houses are worth what people are currently paying for them. We’re better off renting. But we want to see more discussion around town about the current house prices and what can be done about them.”

Bevin hopes to attend the QLCHT information evening in Wanaka next Thursday (July 30, 6pm, Lake Wanaka Centre) which is intended to gauge demand for affordable housing.”

“I think the housing situation here is far more serious than those who make the decisions in this town realise and something drastic needs to happen. Soon. Young families and seasonal workers are struggling to find accommodation. They’re paying through the nose and earning

a pittance. Every one of these people deserve to earn a living wage.

“It’s immoral that people would need to spend 50 percent or even more of their income on housing.

“It’s not just Wanaka - there’s something seriously wrong worldwide that so much value is being put into property. Look at what house prices used to be. The answer is not to make more money available, but to bring housing prices back down.”

Affordable housing prices ‘insane’

A holiday music workshop for children was held last Wednesday in the Mount Aspiring College music room.

Newly-named Aspiring Young Musicians chairman Paul Tamati said the workshop was the fruition of the former Upper Clutha Musical Instrument Library that was set up three years ago to help families provide musical instruments for children.

“We received donated instruments and have purchased many more,” said Paul. “We have progressed so much since then. I am so proud of where we are heading as the future is promising and my vision is alive and well for our musical kids in our community. Helen Carter and Shona Brown have been instrumental as founding members and supporters of my vision.”

Wanaka mothers are invited to take part in the annual Big Latch On by latching their babies on for a feed on Friday July 31 as part of World Breastfeeding Week.

In 2014 more than 110 breastfeeding events were held in venues throughout New Zealand and 28 countries around the world are now running Big Latch On events involving more than 14,500 babies.

Sarah Berger, WellSouth Health Promotion Co-ordinator and member of Wanaka Breast-feeding Support, says: “The Big Latch on is a great opportunity to support women to feel

more confident about breastfeeding, particu-larly in public, and celebrate our local families.

“It also lets everyone know about the great support we have here; with Wanaka Breast-feeding Support, Plunket, the medical centres and our midwives.”

This year’s Big Latch On will take place at Amigos Mexican Grill, from 10am for latch on at 10.30am, on Friday July 31. Breastfeeding mums are welcome to come along for a free morning tea organised by Wanaka Breastfeed-ing Support and WellSouth. Dads and other whanau members are also welcome.

A Wanaka painting company has been honoured at New Zealand’s premier painting awards, the Master Painters Awards 2015.

In the New Residential Interior Under

$25,000 category, Cromwell’s Southern Lakes Architectural Coatings and Wanaka’s Dean Murray Painting took the runner-up positions.

A pair of counsellors who feel that people have an unrealistic image of Wanaka as a place where “everyone has got it all together” are trialling a new walk-in counselling service where people can see two counsellors at once.

The Wanaka Walk In Counselling Service is the brainchild of Rachel Cassaidy and Yvonne Perkins (pic-tured). They believe the collaborative therapist approach gets to the heart of things more quickly than one-on-one counselling. They hope their one-hour sessions will be less daunting to people than the prospect of a whole series of counselling.

“It will be very empowering for people,” Yvonne said. “Traditional counselling can be problem focused and this is strength and solution focused.”

“The key thing is we externalise the problem and separate it from the person,” Rachel said. “That stops the problem from being all consuming

and overwhelming. It’s profound and fantastic and works brilliantly with young people too.”

Both women believe one of the biggest problems in town comes from the image of Wanaka as a place where everyone has everything sorted. When people feel they don’t fit that image they can get anxious and depressed and develop a deficit mentality.

Many people move here to “live the dream” and when that doesn’t happen they struggle. Issues such as the high cost of living here, being new to town, not having extended family support, missing old friends and family, and a lack of work opportunities can all exacerbate the situation.

Rachel and Yvonne’s aim is for the new service to be an accessible and affordable way for people to overcome difficulties and improve their lives. The service will be confidential and people can return for more help if they want it, or be referred to other services in the community.

The service is being trialled for five weeks. It will be offered from Com-munity Networks offices in Brownston

Street on Wednesday mornings, under the umbrella of the Upper Clutha Women’s Support Group. Former lifeline counsellor Margaret Lewis will be the receptionist and trainee counsellor Frankie Dean will work with Rachel or Yvonne.

Not everyone ‘living the dream’

Assault-victim Kahu Vincent is finally back home in Wanaka after 10 weeks in hospital.

Kahu’s partner Jade Makuru said they were both ”stoked” to come home on Tuesday.

“We couldn’t be happier to be back home. It’s amazing. We went and surprised our daughter at pre-school and she just came running straight into our arms,” said Jade.

Doctors have been amazed by Kahu’s progress after he was admitted to hospital in Dunedin following an attack which took place in the Ardmore Street Night ’n Day store in the early hours of May 9.

Jade says he is improving every day: “He’ll be continuing rehab here and doing everything he can to get better. He managed to get up off the floor today which was a really big thing for him.”

Once Kahu is feeling up to it, the couple are planning to hold an event to thank the community for all their support and to welcome Kahu back home.

Wanaka workers may have to find a new place to park their cars as the Wanaka Community Board considers imposing time restrictions on two long-term car parks.

The Dunmore Street car park (adjacent to the skate park), and the Brownston Street car park (behind the council building) have come under scrutiny after a council review.

“The only places that are really at capacity are those long-term parking places,” said Rachel Brown, Wanaka Community Board Chairperson.

“It’s definitely being considered. Because there are absolutely no time restrictions, people can park in those spots for a week if they want to - and that is a problem.”

Queenstown Lakes District Council conducts annual surveys and looks at the occupancy levels of on and off-street car parks, Infrastructure Principal Planner

Denis Mander said.“At the very least we will ask council to

consider a 10-hour parking restriction, particularly in the Brownston Street car park,” said Denis. “The two-hour parking idea has its merits too, and the Wanaka Community Board needs to consider this.”

Denis said a major benefit of two-hour parking would be that because the car parks are so close to the town centre, short-term parking would be attractive. “But the big issue would be what happens to the cars that are in there.”

He said the council is looking at constructing some angle parking on Brownston Street opposite Pembroke Park as an alternative.

Parking and traffic are hot topics in Wanaka, especially in the busy summer and winter seasons when congestion increases. The Wanaka Sun has received several ‘Letters to the Editor’ about park-ing shortages in recent weeks.

However Rachel Brown says that com-pared to other places, Wanaka doesn’t

have a parking shortage.“Overall, we’re not short of parking. It’s

a matter of re-educating people about the parking options here. There’s a huge amount of on-road parking in the centre of town. It’s certainly not a big issue like in Queenstown.”

Rachel said the issue of parking re-quired re-education: “The change might be a matter of walking a couple of extra blocks for all-day parking. Compared to somewhere like Auckland, it’s laughable.”

Rachel said it was also a matter of looking at the big picture.

“It could also be a good motivator to find an alternative method of transport, like walking or cycling. That’s the flip-side.”

“It’s a matter of trying to cater to everybody, which is difficult. There will always be kick-back.”

Denis said there would be “an element of consultation” between QLDC and the WCB about the possible changes but “these things need to be decided by the Wanaka Community Board.”

It’s time to get on the bus, the Breast Bus. You may have seen it parked outside Wanaka Lakes Health Centre with its 0800 number splashed across the side. Women between the ages of 45 and 69 have access to free mammograms as part of the New Zealand national screening program.

It’s hard to get too excited about cancer yet having ones breast compressed is pretty unpleasant.

Mammograms detect abnormal tissue early while it is still controllable. One in eight women get this disease. 3,000 women will be diagnosed in 2015. The most common cancer of women, it kills more the 600 New Zealanders every year.

With early detection and intervention women live longer and healthier lives. In recent years there has been debate around screening and whether it does more harm then good. This has been thrashed out by experts worldwide. After reviewing the evidence, the Ministry of Health has decided mammography is more beneficial then detrimental.

An appointment takes 15 minutes, involves very little travel and costs nothing. This one simple step is one of the best ways to protect your health.

If you received an appointment, please confirm it or if you have not received an appointment, ring the number 0800 0270 200. The bus will be in Queenstown next.

After your appointment, treat yourself to one of the fabulously delicious cakes at the health centre cafe. After all you deserve it, you just had your breast compressed.

I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of jump-ing back on the skis two weeks after my first lesson.

Timing prevented a second lesson any earlier, and the more I put it off, the more nervous I got about getting back onto the skis and maybe hurting myself.

The good news is I didn’t hurt myself, and even though I could see very little on Sunday due to the polar blast that came through, I actually had a really good lesson with Ellen.

Yes, I had a couple of tumbles, but this week I only had the one tailbone crash, the rest were on my side, (which is much more pleasant as falling goes).

With all the fresh snow falling, the groomed tracks were disappearing fast. The near white-out conditions made seeing a little difficult, but with great conversation and a few laughs we made our way successfully around the High-land Trail and repeated the downhill descent a few times to master the double pole push.

While I was in my lesson, Stacey and the kids were ripping it up on the tubes and toboggans having a whale of a time! The laughter I heard rounding the bend off the end of the Highland Trail was definitely that of the Anderson kids. It was a little too chilly for learning to cross coun-try ski for them, so this will be next weekend’s challenge.

It was at this point the snow had turned to icy rain and was sticking to my sunglasses and a hot chocolate was calling me from the cafe.

What I learnt from this week’s lesson was cross-country skiing is definitely the better option on a chilly snowy day, there are no chairlifts to sit and get cold on and you are constantly active so you are keeping warm.

If you are contemplating learning to cross-country ski but think it seems like too much hard work, erase that thought. You can make it as hard as you want, but starting out is defi-nitely do-able. I can, so you can too.

Thanks again to Ellen, my coach this week - you were awesome and really helpful. And of course Jackie Boyd of Penberthy Insurance for sponsoring me on this exciting journey.

Wanaka schools will be getting in on the action at this year’s Winter Games. The snow sports event is encouraging pupils to get involved at this year’s games, which are being staged in Wanaka, Queen-stown and Naseby from August 21 - 30.

There has already been wide-spread take-up from almost 20 schools in the southern region.

Project Manager Jo Guest said: “The concept is to involve schools and students through our snow sports and curling events, activi-ties, entertainment and competi-tions. By developing local school involvement we feel we can create even greater community spirit during the games.”

Initiatives include a poster competition with the winning entry to feature as part of Winter Games NZ promotional material.

“We want young artists in the participating schools in Central Otago and Southern Lakes to provide colourful and imaginative work capturing their interpreta-tion of the Games,” said Jo.

Top international and Kiwi ath-letes will visit schools to provide

an insight into their careers and there will be an opportunity for school children to speak person-ally to athletes and collect auto-graphs and other memorabilia.

There are openings for senior school pupils to take part in work experience during the winter games while tertiary students are being offered internships.

Young skiers in the region are also being urged to enter the Junior Interfield ski race at The Remarkables on August 23.

“The races are for first-timers as well as experienced ski racers from the ages of six to 16,” said Jo. “It’s very much a friendly competition which will be followed by an of-ficial awards ceremony downtown at the Queenstown Games Village, using the same stage as Winter Games NZ medallists.”

She said school bands are being encouraged to put their names forward to be part of the entertain-ment at the Village in Queenstown for the Interfield awards cer-emony. “There is a lot of talent out there and it is a great opportunity for young musicians to showcase their skills”.

Coastal Cowhides fundraiser pop-up shop is back in Wanaka for the winter season with its cowhide floor rugs, calfskins, reindeer, cowhide furniture, cowhide Ottomans, handbags, slippers, Middle Eastern Picnic rugs and more. Offering the largest range of top quality cowhides in New Zealand that are tanned to the highest specifications, Coastal Cowhides is a family-run fundraising initiative for New Zealand’s top female ski racer Piera Hudson, 19.

The business was started 24 months ago by her Aunt Caroline and parents John and Fiona. Piera is a full-time athlete and has been representing New Zealand since she was 9. She is New Zealand’s National Women’s Champion and top-ranked woman in Giant Slalom, Slalom, Super G and Super Combi and a member of the NZ Alpine Ski Team.

She is the first NZ female in five years to compete at World Cup level having made her World Cup race debut this past season in Maribor, Slovenia and then again in Åre, Sweden. The average age of women at World Cup level is 28 years so at 19 Piera is considered young. Piera also competed in the World Championships in

Beaver Creek, USA, where she finished 39th from a field of 120.

Hudson is world ranked 226 in Super G and 264 in Giant Slalom from 3100 FIS (International Fed-eration of Ski Racing) registered female athletes. Despite this, Piera is 100% self-funded and all proceeds from Coastal Cowhides sales go towards Piera’s training and competition expenses during

her Southern and Northern hemisphere programme.

This upcoming winter she will represent New Zealand in the FIS

Tech races at Cardrona Alpine Resort (her home mountain) and Treble Cone, Wanaka; Winter Games and the ANC

Continental Cup races at Coronet Peak, Queenstown and

Perisher, Australia. Her long-term aim is to be selected for the 2018

Pyeong Chang Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Coastal Cowhides will be in Wanaka until early October operating from 34 Plantation Road, this is a great opportunity to support Piera and the future of New Zealand alpine ski racing and acquire a stunning cowhide, reindeer or a crafted piece of furniture for yourself or someone else.

Lot 1 is proposed to be 1.61 hectares, and will be positioned on the lower slopes of the subject site, containing the existing buildings, the proposed sheds, and the proposed building platform around the established ‘cottage’ and ‘shed’. Proposed Lot 2 is larger than Lot 1 (measuring 7.61 hectares), and is the bulk remainder of the north and east of the current lot containing a residential building platform approved by RM110133. It is proposed that a separate right-of-way be established for Lot 2.

(ii) Landuse consent to erect two free-standing sheds and one garage on Proposed Lot 1. The buildings will have a maximum height of 4.4m. It is noted the two free standing sheds are outside of the proposed residential building platform sought under (i) above.

(iii) Cancellation of conditions of RM110133 (which approved the establishment of a residential building platform on the site) to allow for the development of the proposed sheds and garage, allow for the existing kitchens within the barn and shed to remain, and to allow for the proposed subdivision.

(iv) Cancellation of conditions of RM120205 (which approved the relocation of a shed building on the site and associated use of the building for filming a cooking show) to reflect an additional use within the existing buildings located on Proposed Lot 1 for residential purposes.

(v) Retrospective land use consent is sought to alter an existing building on Proposed Lot 1 (an approved shed) so that it can be used for permanent residential activity as well as the temporary filming activity approved under RM120205.

RENOVATIONS……NEW BUILDS……..IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO TALK TO THE GIRLS.

Full interior design advice at our place or yours.

Anderson Road and the surrounding areas have really grown to become a bustling part of town, with myriad business for all your needs. The area can provide you with every shop you could need to redecorate your house, multiple trade services, technology needs and much more.

And it’s becoming more and more of a social spot too, with new cafes cropping up. This draws more people to Anderson to discover the stores. The Good Spot, a retro-caravan turned café on wheels, has turned into a regular spot for locals wanting delicious coffee and great food at low prices. And just around the corner is Vice (outside Mitre 10) with tasty treats and coffee, and a little further the long-standing Hammer and Nail Bakery and Café.

The cafes draw in people to the area who aren’t looking for specialised services, and helps them to discover what is already there. End up in Material Girls and you may discover the dream fabric you never knew you needed, and in Active Interiors you might just get the inspiration you need to revamp that spare room, and Seletrix might make you realise that old computer could do with upgrading.

And just nearby are Mount Iron, the Wanaka pool, parks and playgrounds. The more variety the better, we say, and Anderson is really turning into a great little hub.

It sure is a good spot

We’ve just finished another fun-packed school holiday programme down here at The Crib and we’ve had so much fun! We’ve had a lot of year 7’s and 8’s kicking it with us and their energy is infectious and exhausting in equal measure.

Now school is back and our drop-in sessions are running as usual on Fri-days from 6pm and Saturdays from 3pm until 10pm. We always cook dinner and encourage those attending to join in. So if you’re a young person looking for something to do, or a parent looking to entertain their children, why not pop down and have a look around? You’ll find the Crib at 11 Russell Street.

Over the past few months we’ve been focussing on our “good eggs” in the community. Those people or businesses that quietly support us and enable us to do all that we do.

This time we would like to talk about food. As any young person or those of you with young people in the house know, kids and teenagers eat a lot. An awful lot.

As we said above, we cook dinners at our drop-in sessions; but we also have all of our after school programmes, holiday programmes and general hanging about in the Crib mouths to feed. This can prove to be rather expensive over the course of a year! So, a couple of years ago we approached Cafe Gusto and asked what they did with their muffins they hadn’t sold at the end of the day. They agreed to pop all the unsold muffins into the freezer and we pick them up roughly once a week. Not long after, ‘The Good Spot’, the coffee caravan on Anderson Road began giving us their left over bits and bobs, quickly followed by Beanie Cafe on Ardmore Street which regularly provides us with slices and other lovely sweet treats. Earlier this year Adam and Eve’s, the bakery on Reece Crescent, began to give us left over bread too!

Not only has this solved our issue of how to make feeding lots of hungry young people a bit more affordable, and created a lot of smiles on the faces of our attendees, it highlights just how great this little community is. So we send a MASSIVE thank you to Beanies Cafe, Cafe Gusto, The Good Spot and Adam and Eve’s bakery. You are all amazing. Without you all doing what you do, we could not do what we do.

If you’re interested in Drop ins or anything else we do, check out our website at www.kahuyouth.org, find us on Facebook – Kahuyouth Upper Clutha, or give us a call on (03) 443 5880.

With winter in full blast, somehow dressing for the cold can stifle our need to look good - and it always seems our wardrobes are lacking in options! We tend to gravitate towards darker colours and forget that adding a pop of colour, patterns or metallics is the key to outfit inspira-tion. The chilly season is all about layer-ing textures, patterns and prints, and having fun with accessories - it’s how you put it all together that counts!

Be sure to layer a couple of outfits together. When you enter a cafe you can peel off your first look (an amazing coat and scarf) to reveal an-other great outfit. Whatever you do, don’t find yourself trapped in a layer because you aren’t comfortable in what you’re wearing underneath!

Try wearing one of your favourite dresses as an oversized shirt over skinny leg pants/jeans, and adding a chunky knit cardigan and scarf. Don’t be afraid of mixing patterns - they add surprise to your outfit instead of the ‘expected.’ It’s a rule I live by both summer and winter. If you prefer understated, try adding colour with accessories. Bags, scarves, hats, jewellery, lipstick and nail polish are all good options as well as a hint of print or metallic when layering.

For your outermost layer, a collection of

warm, stylish coats is essential to looking fabulous. This season I recommend an over-sized knee-length coat with large lapels in your favourite neutrals. A coat like this can be worn over anything and immediately brings a ‘wow factor’ that won’t date. Try wearing it as a cape over the shoulders, letting the arms hang loose

for a relaxed,chic look.Two more firm favourites of mine are fitted jackets and blazers. I

always look for interest in their design. Embellishments or embroidery are on-trend, while various cropped arm lengths and tailored garments define your silhouette.

Get creative and tweak your usual outfits with unexpected

shoes. Go for a slightly pointed toe rather than rounded, for a

more edgy, fashion-forward look. Mix and match items you haven’t

thought of before. Play dress up and get some ideas - aim for trial and error. Sometimes accidents make the best outfits!

As mid-winter sales are approaching, now is a good time to think about buying what you are missing and adding staple pieces to your winter wardrobe!. Shopping regularly keeps the job easy, not overwhelming.

Check out pictures on my blog at www.trudiemillar.com for staple winter purchase inspiration. To contact Trudie, visit [email protected]

Dame Trelise Cooper will hold a fashion show in Wanaka for the first time as a fundraiser for a new hospice.

The Upper Clutha Hospice and Wanaka fashion boutique Escape Clothing are organising the Thea-tre of Fashion event at the Glendhu Woolshed in Glendhu Bay on September 30.

Theatre of Fashion is a unique showcase of the Trelise Cooper Summer 2015/16 collection. There will also be an auction of donated big-ticket items, with all proceeds going to the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust.

The idea was sparked by Escape Clothing owner Lucy Lucas and Upper Clutha Hospice Trust fundraising committee member Bev Rudkin.

Lucy hopes to raise about $25,000-$30,000 for the Upper Clutha Hospice. Construction of the hospice is expected to start at its Wanaka Lakes Health Centre site in August.

Lucy, who lost her mother to cancer two years ago, says the hospice facility is especially impor-tant for the local community. Wanaka cancer patients and their families must currently travel

either to Clyde’s Dunstan Hospital or Dunedin Hospital to receive hospice care.

“Dame Trelise is incredibly generous with her time - she does a lot for community causes. Wa-naka is so lucky to have her agree to holding this event, and for her to attend is even better. Guests are in for a treat - Trelise Cooper shows are always fantastic, with plenty of ‘wow’ factor,” said Lucy.

And Dame Trelise said she was only too happy to help the cause. “Giving back to the community is something I have always believed in. It means a lot to me that my passion and the work that I do can be put towards something that really makes a difference.

“The Theatre of Fashion is like a live perfor-mance. It’s a chance to showcase the stories behind my collections on stage with music, makeup, lighting and everything that brings it to life,” said Dame Trelise.

Tickets are available from Escape Clothing, Ardmore Street, or the Upper Clutha Hospice Shop on Ballantyne Road.

No portion of the content of the Wanaka Sun may be reproduced in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the publishers.

At first glance it’s easy to think that everyone in Wanaka is living the dream. Judging by our ‘letters to the editor’ over the past few weeks, the most contentious issue our residents face is finding a place to park, so life can’t be too bad, right?

However, if you scratch the surface it is clear that not everyone has it easy. Two counsellors are trialling a new walk-in counselling service from the Community Networks Office. They believe one of the biggest problems in town comes from the image of Wanaka as a place where everyone has everything sorted, when that is simply not the reality. The pressure of fitting in with this image, the high cost of living, a lack of work opportunities and a lack of family support for people who are new in town can all contribute to feelings of stress, anxiety and even depression.

Thankfully there are many people who are willing to help. Counsellors Rachel Cassaidy and Yvonne Perkins hope their new one-hour walk-in sessions will be less daunting for people who are put off by the thought of a whole series of sessions and there are also groups such as the Wanaka Men’s Shed and Kahu Youth which are doing great work in the community.

So if you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember to

seek help and don’t suffer in silence.

crimesceneIt was with great disgust that I learnt today of the proposal to change our treasured New Zealand flag. This I believe to be a disgraceful proposition and an insult to our most noble monarch. Our Queen is a leading example of dignity, I am extremely proud of her not only as a great monarch but model of decency and example to us all. It was only this week footage was revealed of the Queen giving a Nazi salute, this, I know, she will robustly defend. This ‘revelation’ followed an admirable incident where Prince Phillip attacked a photographer with choice expletives. I greatly admire the royals for their plain talking and strong beliefs. I think the $4.3 million dollars we Kiwis pay each year towards our royal family represents a true bargain for the service provided; and although our Queen hasn’t managed to visit our country for almost 14 years I am proud of the hard work she tirelessly performs. Removing the union jack from our flag would clearly be an insult to our glorious monarch and the beginning of a slippery slope toward further moral decline.

Yours Sincerely Brigadier Colonel Templeton Smyth (retired)

It is great to see the willing response from Cardrona’s representative regarding Wanaka’s lack of CBD parking.

This problem is one doomed to only get worse. Busy periods are a convenient preview of future Wanaka. The cause is Council inaction and the narrow focus by local business groups to push business growth without any action to mitigate the effects.

Council urgently needs a sound transport and parking strategy for the future. Further illegal encroachment into Pembroke Park is not an option. Land needs to be acquired immediately for parking and a central transport hub. Changes need to be made to allow council to collect funding for this. The return to commercial developers either providing some parking or contributing funds AND YES……. we should also consider a tourist bed or regional sales tax! It’s paid in other countries and doesn’t deter tourists.

Wanaka continues to have representatives and business leaders without the will, or the skill, to confront this issue. Anyone who feels the current regime is fine should relocate their families and busi-nesses to Queenstown where they can enjoy a more advanced model of this planning. Has Queenstown’s growth in tourist numbers and residents improved the quality of visiting, working or living there?

The trust behind Cromwell’s planned new sports turf has launched two major fundraising initiatives in a last push to raise the $1.7 million needed for the project.

Central Otago Sports Turf Trust chairman Michael Paardekooper (pictured) said plans were still on track for work to begin converting the existing sand-based turf to the latest water-playing surface in October, provided the rest of the funding could be found.

To date, the trust had raised $1.36 million through grants and other sources, Mr Paardekooper said. However, the work cannot start until all of the money has been raised.

One of the new funding initiatives would see signage on the fence around the turf being sold to local businesses, which Mr Paardekooper said was a great way for business owners to support the turf as well as promote their business long-term.

The second fundraising initiative will see businesses, individuals, families or organisations given the opportunity to sponsor a square metre of turf for $200.

Mr Paardekooper said the sponsorship idea was first used as a fundraiser for the turf 18 years ago, and had proved hugely successful, with more than150 square metres sponsored.

Everyone who sponsored a square metre would have their name or organisation engraved on a brass plaque which would be on perma-nent display at the turf.

“They can be proud they’re sup-porting something as big as the new turf,” Mr Paardekooper said.

Mr Paardekooper said it was hoped the new turf would be ready for the start of the new season next year, although the new amenities building which was also planned may take longer to complete.

Wanaka-bred Jesse Teat (pictured) has been ap-pointed Chef de Mission to the New Zealand team at the Lillehammer 2016 Youth Olympic Games.

A Chef de Mission, or team leader, is a proactive, motivational leader who supports and promotes the national team.

Jesse is well-qualified for the role, as a previous member of the NZ Olympic Team in 2002 at the Salt Lake Winter Olympics. He is currently the NZSki Racing Technical Director and a keen alpine skier. Son of Neville and Bonny Teat, Jesse was a

familiar face in the Wanaka ski scene from a young age. He now lives in Dunedin.

Jesse was appointed to the Chef de Mission role by the NZ Olympic Committee. The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be held across ten days in February 2016 in Lillehammer, a major winter sports destination in Norway.

New Zealand team members have not yet been selected for Lillehammer, but young Wanaka sportspeople are contenders. This will be the fourth-ever YOG, which exists to inspire young people between 15 and 18 to participate in sport and live by Olympic values.

Jesse Teat made Olympic team leader
