Wheels plus mud equals fun

Ruapehu election 2019 to be STV

Ruapehu District’s next election will use the single transferable vote system, a change from the previous first past the post option that has been used until now.

Councillors voted six votes to four in favour of the change at their meeting in Ohakune on Wednesday.

The change was led by Cr Adie Doyle, who said the STV system “could lead to a better level of governance, around this table”.

“There are candidates who campaign on issues that are not particularly relevant to council. It is possible to have elected representatives around the council table that are elected on a single issue only, an issue that cannot be addressed within the council’s mandate,” he said in the debate on the options.

“For three years, those seats could then be occupied by myopic thinkers (who) contribute little to the wider issues facing our district.”

He said with first-past-the-post, it is possible for the vote among “sound candidates” to be spread, allowing single-issue candidates “the odour of success”.

A number of councillors spoke in support of the change.

Farm waste to snow beauty

A wet paddock, wheels and motorcycles were the ingredients for a fun weekend for the 42nd Cold Kiwi – the fourth time at the Horopito site.

Around 580 bikes and riders converged on the site from all around New Zealand for the annual rally, featuring two and three-wheelers from 50cc step-throughs to 1800cc Honda Goldwings.

The numbers were slightly up on last year but still well down on the Ruapehu Motorcycle Club’s target audience number.

“People were probably put off by the wet and horrible forecast – it’s been wet everywhere for most of the year,” said committee member Mike Maru.

“But where there’s wheels and wet, muddy ground, there’s fun.”

He said the event has around 3000 followers on the Facebook page so if the forecast is good, there is potential for a lot of people to attend.

Friday night was the big event for entertainment when most people had arrived to make the most of the live band.

Numerous positive comments were made about the covers band on Facebook, summed up by Leigh Peebles: “You guys rocked the house (tent) … thanks for the awesome music on Friday night … would love to hear you again”.

Saturday was the day for the usual fun

events such as the hill climb, wiener snatch, slow bike race, tyre burn-out and other competitions where riders could show their skills.

New this year was an ironing board drag, where a rider tows a willing victim behind their bike while they lie on an old ironing board. With such wet ground, the aim of completely covering the victim in mud was easily achieved.

Another welcome feature, for some, was a bagpipe player – Matt Rennie – whose sounds echoed around the valley. Some were disappointed he only played once, but his wife posted that “he tried to play again later but was too inebriated”.

Emma Collier models the winning Snow Queen creation at the Ohakune Tavern on Saturday, made from recycled farm waste, by Karyn Collier from Owhango. She is flanked by other prize winners and entrants for the wearable arts competition. See inside for details.Turn to Page 3

Power prizes for database info

Film night features

A local power retailer is updating its customer database so it can offer customers new products and services.

“Communication with our customers is really important, and this project will help us find better and more convenient ways to connect with people,” says King Country Energy community relations manager Helen Peacock.

The company is asking its customers to update their contact details online or via phone before 5.30pm on Friday 13 October and they will be entered in a draw to win a $1000 Visa Prezzy card or one of 10 $100 Prezzy cards ($2000 worth of prizes in total).

“We would like to capture email addresses and cellphone numbers in particular,” says Mrs Peacock.

“More and more of our customers say they would like us to reduce paper communications, and instead get their bills and newsletter via email.”

KCE is also looking at providing customers with text alerts in the future to, for example, ensure they don’t miss out on their prompt payment discount.

“At KCE our staff are always looking for ways to better serve our customers, and communicate with them in ways that are more convenient and personal,” says Mrs Peacock.

To update their details, KCE customers can fill in an online form at www.kce.co.nz/updatedetails, or phone the KCE customer call centre on 0800 523 637 on weekdays between 7.30am and 5.30pm.

KCE wants to confirm customer’s names, date of birth, phone details, email address, postal address, contact person and other details about their property – for example, if there is a dog on the property or the location of the meter.

The prizes are the company’s way of “saying thank you to our customers for their help updating our database,” says Mrs Peacock.

Those with questions can contact [email protected] or phone 0800 523 637.

Helen Peacock, KCE, is calling on people to help the company to update their information.

Best practice by tourism lead team awarded

From Page 1“My hope is that we get some good people standing. If

it (STV) leads to that, it’s a good thing,” said Cr Murray Wilson.

Early in the meeting, councillors were told that a decision on a change needed to be formalised this month, despite the election not being until 2019.

Under the rules, a council has to make any change at least two years before an election.

Last week’s decision would remain valid for the next two elections (2019 and 2021).

Councillors were told that the STV system is seen as a more effective way of getting more diverse people around the table.

Chief executive Clive Manley said the single transferrable vote (STV) system is theoretically fairer.

He said there would not be significant extra cost, if any, to run an STV election.

Under the system, voters rank candidates from first preference and may express second and further preferences for other candidates:

A quota for election is calculated from the number of votes and positions to be filled. The first preferences are counted and any candidate whose first preference votes equal or exceed the quota is elected. If insufficient candidates are elected, the proportion of an elected candidate’s votes above the quota is redistributed according to voters’ further preferences, and candidates who then reach the quota are elected. The candidate with the fewest votes is excluded and their votes are redistributed according to voters’ further preferences.

Councillors were told that the STV system is considered fairer, partly because there are no “wasted votes”.Maori wards

Councillors also had the option of establishing Maori wards, but were told that the Ruapehu District Maori Council has asked for more time to work through the issues.

Mayor Don Cameron said there are six different iwi in the Ruapehu District but only three Maori Ward council positions possible.

“They want to get it right,” said Mr Cameron.

The lead team behind the development of the ‘Ruapehu Regional Visitor Sector Development Plan and Destination Value Proposition’ are cel-ebrating receiving a Commendation Award for Collaboration with Business, Iwi and the Com-munity at the inaugural Ministry of Business, In-novation and Employment (MBIE) Celebrating Excellence Awards in Wellington on Thursday night.

Comprising Ruapehu District Council, Visit Ruapehu and a consortium of specialist consult-ants led by Henley Hutchings, the team won the award for their methodology and approach that “required extensive and meaningful engagement with a wide spectrum of regional stakeholders”.

Ruapehu mayor Don Cameron said that Hen-ley Hutchings and Visit Ruapehu had delivered an amazing result for the tourism and visitor sec-tor in the Ruapehu region.

“The Award was truly well deserved and helps to highlight how we have the best people produc-ing the best outcomes in support of our goal of sustainable regional economic growth that in-creases jobs, incomes and opportunities for all sectors and communities,” he said.

“In a timeframe of just 100 days they were able to gain the commitment of all the key stakehold-ers with a vested interest in the long term success of the tourism and visitor sector in the Ruapehu sub-region to the project.”

“This involved focusing and co-ordinating the active participation of central and local govern-ment, iwi and hapu, local communities, visitor sector operators and national visitor sector lead-ers who all lent their collective brainpower, ex-perience, culture and history to the development of the Ruapehu Regional Visitor Sector Develop-ment Plan and Value Proposition.”

“This was critical to the success of the project having real value and acceptance which in addi-tion to identifying opportunities needed to cap-ture the authentic feel and character of Ruapehu and its sub-region.”

Mr Cameron said that Ruapehu now has the cornerstone requirements for tourism and visi-

tor services to start delivering against their end of the Accelerate25 Economic Action Plan for Manawatu-Whanganui that aims to double visi-tor expenditure from $181m to $388m by 2025.

“With the development phase complete the focus is on how to best partner with government, iwi and hapu, visitor sector operators and others to implement the Plan and unlock the region’s potential,” he said.

More information on Accelerate25 and the Ruapehu Regional Visitor Sector Development Plan and Destination Value Proposition can be found on the Accelerate25 website: http://www.accelerate25.co.nz/tourism-and-visitor-services.html

Visitor’s dogs kill 30 lambsPictured is one of the luckier lambs on Frew’s farm that borders on the Turoa Ski Village area outside Ohakune. Farmer Ronald Frew told the Bulletin that the dog, or dogs, believed to be from visitors staying in the Village, killed 10 lambs and led to the death of around 20 more after they became mis-mothered when the ewes were spooked and left the lambs. Several more lambs, such as the one pictured, suffered dog bite injuries that also put them at risk of dying. Mr Frew said they believe the dogs have since left the area but they would still step up survellance on the boundary. He asked anyone with information on the dog or dogs to contact him on 021-782-479.

End of netball seasonLast Saturday was the last for Raetihi’s four school

netball teams who play in the Taihape netball competition. The school finished the season with 4 graded netball teams from junior to year 8 students.

The teams performed very well with most girls being new to netball.

The middle school team went on to take 1st place at the Taihape inter-schools winter sports day with the senior team coming 2nd.

Raetihi School is hoping to continue to support local netball by encouraging kids to play. The school also has several girls who play for the Ruapehu netball club in the Whanganui competition.

Raetihi School’s netball girls in fancy dress for the last weekend of competitions.

Nominations for Ruapehu’s two Citizen of the Year Awards are open through to Friday 6 October.

One citizen award is given out yearly for the northern part of the district covering National Park, Taumarunui and Ohura under the Northern Ruapehu Citizen Award and one for the Waimarino-Waiouru area under the Waimarino Citizen Award.

Past Waimarino recipients include: Bernice Frost (2016), Jon King (2015), Tammy Pikari (2014), Angel Reid (2013), Chris Winter (2012), Rita Kaiwhare (2011), Eru Brown (2010), John Compton (2009), Trish Smart (2008), Margaret Horne (2007), Deryck Brown (2006), Doug Eves (2005), Alex and Edna McLean (2004), Bill TeKaru (2003), Dorothy and Philip Scarrow (2002), Jessie Seaman (2001), Ian Strachan and Colin Webb (2000), Harry Brown (1999), Dave Scott (Ruapehu District award, 1999), George Murdie (1998), Max Martin (1997), Bob Peck (1996).

Ruapehu mayor Don Cameron said that the

Citizen Awards provide important recognition of the value that Ruapehu places on volunteer workers in our communities.

“This is a great opportunity to recognise and thank the outstanding contributions made by individuals to their communities by performing voluntary, unpaid work over an extended period of time,” he said.

“We all know there are fantastic, selfless volunteer workers in our communities who provide the backbone of many of the essential community services that we rely on every day.”Put them forward

“We now need their friends, colleagues and admirers to put them forward for the recognition they deserve.”

“We would also like to encourage people to re-nominate anyone who has been nominated but unsuccessful in the past.”

“Choosing between the many worthy candidates is extremely difficult and so we would like to urge people to re-nominate

candidates who may have been unsuccessful in the past.”

Mr Cameron noted that without the commitment and dedication of these people many vital community services we all rely on would cease to function.

“Often these volunteers have worked for years, quietly behind the scenes, doing many of the jobs that provide the supporting fabric to our communities.”

“There are so many amazing people undertaking selfless work on behalf of others who are less well off in some way, maybe sick or handicapped, in trouble or danger, or just struggling through a difficult phase of their life.”

“The Citizen Awards are an opportunity to give some of these people the recognition and thanks that they deserve,” he said.

The nomination form including the criteria for nominees is available from Council offices, by calling Council, or via the website, https://goo.gl/dj8fsc

A dress made from recycled farm waste won the Snow Queen wearable arts competition at The Tavern at the Clyde in Ohakune on Saturday night.

The gown, made by Karyn Collier from Owhango and modelled by Emma Collier, also won the recycled award.

Karyn explained to the audience that she used plastic bags, plastic lids, wire and bale wrap from their dairy farm to create the winning item.

First in the Snow Pixie section was Waiata Carter’s ‘Wild Thing’ entry, modelled by Lily Rose.

“I love horses and papatuanuku (the Earth Mother) so I wanted to use plastic and some fur to show this,” she said about her creation.

First in the Snow Princess section was Racel Reyes, who modelled her own creation.

“Snow in New Zealand and all the colours in the winter time that you see outside,” was her inspiration for the garment, made with paper, flax, toilet paper, glitter, glue, fabric, cardboard, string and hot glue.

Second in the Snow Queen category was Talula Hodder’s ‘The Volcanic Snow Queen’, which was inspired by the battle for the hand of Pihanga between the warrior mountains of the Central Plateau, featuring “a snow gown with mountain inspired shapes and forms that then transforms into the dark ashy battle of the mountains who fought for Pihanga’s love”.

Third was Alix Pratt and Haylee Callaghan’s ‘Sylvie’, modelled by Charlie Pratt.

“We visualise her gracefully wandering the snow-covered forest nurturing and protecting the birds. As a child she cannot resist stealing shiny trinkets like a kea, which she keeps on her shoes. She is a warrior for nature, keeper of birds. She will never grow old.”

Their creation also won the People’s Choice award.

More UFB for Ruapehu towns, one dayThree Ruapehu towns and some tourist spots have

been added to the Government’s $270 million Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) plan.

National Park, Owhango and Waiouru will get UFB, but probably not until near the end of 2022.

Minister Simon Bridges said exact coverage areas are to be determined – Crown Fibre Holdings will be working with partners to carry out more detailed planning over the coming months.

Also part of the plan is a ‘Mobile Black Spot Fund – State Highways’, with more coverage promised for the entrances/exits to The Timber Trail, Owhango and Raurimu.

UFB uses fibre optic cables to deliver broadband to households and businesses. It is most suitable and cost effective in urban areas with higher dwelling and business densities.

“We started UFB in 2010 with the original goal of connecting 34 towns to world-class fibre-to-the-premises. Earlier this year we expanded it to 200 more towns and (this) announcement will bring us to 390,” Mr Bridges says.

Because UFB is not feasible for every rural community, the RBI provides faster internet to homes and businesses outside UFB areas through a combination of fixed lines upgrades and new fixed wireless coverage.

He said the Mobile Black Spot Fund will improve public safety and visitor experiences by providing greater mobile coverage on stretches of State Highway and in tourism locations where no coverage currently exists.

The Ruapehu district, in particular, will benefit from this latest rollout announcement, says Horizons.

Ruapehu mayor Don Cameron said it would “further enhance the ability of our rural communities and tourism sector to unlock the opportunities identified in the Manawatu-Whanganui Economic Action Plan”.

“Improved mobile and broadband services will mean better visitor experiences and the opportunity for rural communities and businesses to take full advantage of everything that being connected provides,” says Mr Cameron.

The $270 million communications infrastructure package will speed up the UFB deployment schedule by two years, with completion expected at the end of 2022.

WERESPOND.Balancing community values with local rules.There is a lot going on at Council at the moment as we work to increase incomes, jobs and opportunities for Ruapehu communities.

One of the way we are doing this is in trying to make it easier for people to get on with the ‘business of life’ in Ruapehu. A key part of this is having good-quality regulatory functions that and are easy to understand and implement.

This is a result of how our Policies and Bylaws work together.Making local policies and bylaws is a complex process that needs to weigh and balance our community values.

A critical part of getting this balance right is ensuring that council has wide ranging community feedback into the policy and bylaw development process.

Policy review Policies are created to guide decision making and determine a

wide range of things such as what services will be provided and the level of those services.

Council is wanting your feedback on a number of proposed amendments to some of our key Policies.

These are the:

• Local Alcohol Policy,

• Dog Control Policy and,

• Freedom Camping Policy.

Finding out more and having your say.The first thing you need to do is to get a copy of the Consultation Document (CD) that summarises everything that is being proposed along with a copy of the individual Statement’s of Proposal (SOP) on each of the three Policies and the proposed new Ruapehu Bylaw.

Together the CD and the SOPs will tell you all you need to know about the proposed changes.

You can get a copy of these documents by:

• Viewing or downloading from Council’s website: ruapehudc.govt.nz

• From dropping by any Council office,

• or call us on 07 895 8188 or 06 385 8364

The Consultation Document provides a summary of all the proposed changes.

Bylaw reviewCouncils make bylaws to protect the public from nuisance, to protect, promote and maintain public health and safety, and to minimise the potential for offensive behaviour in public places.Council is wanting to consolidate three standalone Bylaws into one. These are the:

• Public Places Bylaw 2012,• Animal Control Bylaw 2012 and,• Public Health & Safety Bylaw 2013

The three individual Bylaws are proposed to become a single combined Bylaw called the:

• Ruapehu Bylaw 2017

If you have a view on these Policy or Bylaw amendment

proposals you would Council to take into account we need to

hear from you before 5.00pm on Fri 6 Oct 2017

SHINE A LIGHT ON A LOCAL VOLUNTEER STAR

Introducing Sonia to the law team

Contest for new-look Taumarunui toilet

At the Nash Jordan law team, from left, Jenese Van Der Westhuizen, Sonia McIntosh, Joanna Jordan and Rachel Colquhoun.

The Waimarino has a new lawyer in town – So-nia McIntosh – who has joined the Nash Jordan Law team in Ohakune.

The graduate of the Bond University Faculty of Law in Queensland recently received her ad-mission to the bar in New Zealand, allowing her to practice here.

Upon graduating, she worked for a private law practice in western Queensland, where she worked on wills, estates, conveyancing and family law.

Sonia has worked for a government-funded agency that targeted issues affecting indigenous people, such as family violence, child safety, parenting matters and criminal compensation claims for sexual assault matters. Covering a wide region in Outback Queensland, Sonia considers this work to be “hands down the best experience in my life.

“Working with these survivors of abuse and empowering them to make change for themselves and their families was ex-tremely rewarding,” says Sonia.

Sonia then worked in youth justice as a proba-tion officer in rural and remote communities.

After some overseas travel, she took a job in Calgary, Canada, work-ing in the divorce section of the Court of Queen’s Bench as a law clerk.

“That gave me an op-portunity to see the other side of the system,” says Sonia.

In November 2016 Sonia moved to the Cen-tral Plateau area. She has fallen in love with the area so when a job came up at Nash Jordan Law, she jumped at the chance.

Being a small, coun-try practice, the work is of a wide variety, which she loves – family law,

criminal, estates, and employment.

“The diversity of work

offered in a rural firm ap-peals to me as it offers unique opportunities not

afforded to lawyers who work full time in the city,” she says.

Taumarunui residents may get to help influence the design of planned new public toilets on Hakiaha Street by taking part in a concept design competition.

The Taumarunui-Ohura Ward Committee (TOWC) have voted to hold a concept design competition for the new toilets, to be built on the site of the old Taumarunui library.

TOWC chairperson Karen Ngatai said the toilet

project was a significant part of Taumarunui’s revitalisation and they want to provide “as many opportunities for the community to engage with as we can”.

People are asked to draw a concept of what they think the outside of the toilets should look like, with their name and contact number and drop or send it in to Council.

“While the focus is on having fun, we would

like to think that we will get some iconic or memorable concept ideas and be able to use one, or some of these, to help inform what the final toilet facility design might look like.”

She said they want a wide variety of entries from as many people as possible – from everybody from kids and schools to individuals, group entries and even professional architects and designers.

A panel comprising representatives from Council and various disciplines including art, building, landscape design, architecture and engineering will evaluate the entries.

“If we end up with more than one stand-out concept idea that could help inform what the final toilet facility design might look like we will come back to the public for their views.”

The competition closes on 20 October.

Daffodil Day generosityWaimarino Cancer Society members Margaret Ryan and Cynthia Dowsett, at left, pick out some fresh daffodils for supporters Corrinne Perry and Miriam Smits, both from Taumarunui. Huge generosity, in Raetihi and Ohakune, once again saw around $7000 raised, similar to last year.

Snow Queen wins for College designersEyE on RuapEhu CollEgE, ContRibutEd by

staff and studEnts

Snow Queen On the back of Chaya Connelly’s win at the

Brother Design wards, several College students designed and entered outfits in the annual Snow Queen wearable arts event on the weekend.

Yuri Shirai, Chaya Connelly and Racel Reyes bravely modelled outfits either deigned by themselves or others. The girls all have an interest in fashion design and much of the work was completed at home.

Ruapehu College congratulates Racel Reyes who won the design award in the Princess section.

Her garment was intricately woven toilet paper, which produced a stunning garment. It took hours of time to complete.Ice skating

The ice skating fundraising event saw a number of families attend the school hall and have a go on the ‘ice’ on the weekend.

Principal Kim Basse, who learnt to ice skate on the Manorburn Dam in Central Otago, said the experience of the “warm ice skating wasn’t too bad”.

She was assisted with tips from Nazomi Groot and Rose Collette, who whizzed around the rink

like professionals, but doubts she will ever get to the Torvill and Dean standard (Olympic skaters).

“I don’t know how much we raised in terms of fundraising, but it was good fun,” she said.Politicians visit

Ruapehu College’s Year 9 students had the opportunity to address some politicians this week: Ruapehu’s local Member of Parliament Ian McKelvie, NZ First’s Tracey Martin and PPTA president Jack Boyle.

Mr McKelvie commented that the Year 9 students were “intelligent and polite”.

He said he was very impressed about how they were willing to discuss the future issues concerning youth.Snow events

A group of Year 10 students enjoyed snow day on the mountain last week. The snow academy is now training hard for the North Island Secondary schools competitions coming soon.Badminton

The College badminton mixed doubles team Zayden Herewii-Taiaroa and Yuzuki Sekiguchi who won the division B runner up medal and prize for the Ruapehu Open badminton tournament held in Taumarunui on the weekend.

The round robin open event saw them compete against adults and other students from Turangi, Taumarunui and Ohakune. They did well to be placed second.Rugby

A number of Ruapehu’s boys have been invited to join City College’s Rugby team to play in the Hurricanes U15 tournament in Wellington from Wednesday to Saturday this week – Harry

Toho, Tekaokao Kairimu, Te Taumata Nelio and Cameron Artz. Coming events

This is non-interruption week and preparation week for the school exams next week. All students should have a timetable for the exams and those not sitting exams will be completing internal assessments.

Snow Queen designers and models Yuri Shirai, Chaya Connelly and Racel Reyes. Racel won the Princess design award and she also modelled her garment.

Ruapehu golfThe Club competition on Sunday was

a mixture of first round ‘match play’ for the Club champs and the usual stableford competition.

A number of players progressed to the second round of the champs with the losers now contesting the Maher Trophy. The top scorer was Scott Irwin with a gross 77 and 39 points. Robert Edmonds, Andy Entwisle, Adam Hinana, Steve Gray and Rex Harding all shared second. Andy scored the only two. The $300 stableford jackpot was not struck and will again be available for the person who scores 2 points on all 18 holes.

Next weekend, the Saturday morning haggle continues, tee off from 9.00am. On Sunday, eight players will travel to Rangatira to contest the annual Cascade Cup, in memory of a long defunct Taihape Brewery. There will be a normal Sunday club day for those left behind.

Roman’s rugby runRoman Tutauha led the Steelform

Whanganui Heartland squad out onto a very muddy and wet paddock in Paeroa on Saturday for his 50th game for the province.

It was a completely different style of game to the previous week when Whanganui beat Wairarapa Bush 79-7 on a dry and fast paddock.

Roman led this team in a tight game and for Whanganui down 12-nil after 25 minutes, his inspiration kept his team fired, until they eventually went into the lead ten minutes into the second half.

The lead changed again and it wasn’t until the last two minutes when Craig Clare was successful with a penalty that the team went into the lead again and were eventual winners 21-19.

Roman Tutauha leads his team onto the paddock.

Retro gear brightens up the slopes and the Junction

It was all eighties style – bright colours, one piece suits, skinny skis – for Retro Day on Saturday at Turoa (at left). Later at the Junction, retro “offenders” could cash in their fashion “fines” for spot prizes, while many took on the Johnny’s chocolate eclairs competition. Retro Day organiser Paul Stieglbauer said the day was about adding a little bit of colour and life into the Ohakune landscape while celebrating the arrival of the season.
