It is now permissible to put any number of pivot irrigators on land in the Upper Clutha without a resource consent, after the Environment Court ruled an irrigator is a vehicle.
“It reached its conclusion because an irrigator ‘has wheels and carries something’,” Queenstown Lakes District Council General Manager of Planning and Infrastructure, Mark Bretherton, said.
Previously the QLDC’s District Plan classified a pivot irrigator as a farm building, meaning consent was required to install one.
However, there was an exemption for vehicles, Mark Bretherton said.
The Environment Court decision followed a hearing between Haldon Station and the Mackenzie District Council. The court found centre pivot and linear irrigators were not buildings, under the Mackenzie District Plan’s definition of buildings.

A national working group formed to consider alternative ways to fund local government includes the Queenstown Lakes District Council chief executive Adam Feeley.
The group was appointed by Local Government New Zealand to its local government funding review team, which is charged with determining a sustainable funding model for local infrastructure and services. The review was considered necessary because current funding sources, which were mainly rates and direct charges, were unlikely to be sustainable long term due to rapid demographic and economic
changes. New Zealand councils also relied
heavily on property taxes, which was unusual by international standards.
Adam Feeley said the Queenstown Lakes District was also unique compared to other local authorities.
“[It has] very high, and sustained, population growth; relatively low median income levels; relatively high debt to fund inter-generational infrastructure needs; and intense pressure on infrastructure and other services from domestic and international visitors.
“In contrast, some councils have no debt; declining populations; and limited scope for growth.
“With marked differences between local authorities across
New Zealand, we need to consider whether “one size fits all” can continue to be the best funding solution.”
The other councils in the working group were Auckland, Christchurch, Waitomo and the Otago Regional Council. Other interests represented on the group included the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, the Local Government Forum, the Local Government Funding Agency, Cameron Partners investment bankers, Federated Farmers, the Council for Infrastructure Development, New Zealand Initiative and Victoria University’s public policy department.
The group’s initial consultation r e p o r t w a s e x p e c t e d in November.
Members of the Wanaka Community Board have been impressed with the amount of public interest, in both the state of the lakefront and dog control issues. They were commenting at the board’s meeting on Tuesday.
A t o t a l o f 3 8 0 s u b m i s s i o n s w e r e received on the Draft W a n a k a L a k e f r o n t Reserves Management Plan and 42 people spoke
to their submissions a t h e a r i n g s e a r l i e r this month.
“ T h e q u a l i t y o f the submissions was sensational,” Calum MacLeod, who was on the hearings committee, said. “They were positive a n d c o n s t r u c t i v e . T h e y r e p r e s e n t e d p o l a r o p p o s i t e s but the suggestions were fantastic.”
WCB chair Rachel Brown said it was a privilege to be involved in something people care
so much about. “It was great the Wanaka
Community Board was delegated the task of doing this,” she said.
The committee will b e r e c o m m e n d i n g amendments to the draft plan and presenting it at a WCB meeting for approval, before recommending it to the Queenstown Lakes District Council for adoption.
The board is a lso expecting a large turnout of people speaking to their submissions on the Dog
Control Bylaw and Policy at the hearings scheduled for the afternoon of Tuesday July 29 at the Lake Wanaka Centre. Nearly 100 submissions w e r e m a d e a c r o s s the district.
Rachel said there appears to be a lack of public understanding regarding the bylaw.
“People think they won’t be able to take a dog off its lead anywhere,” she said.
Other board members agreed the bylaw will need clarification.
A vit iculturist from Amisfield Winery won first place in the Central Otago Young Viticulturist of the Year, held in Cromwell on Friday.
Mike Winter would now go on to represent Central Otago at the national final in Blenheim in late August.
Felton Road’s Annabel Bulk took out second place, followed by Liam Burgess from Peregrine Wines.
T h e c o m p e t i t i o n was held at the Otago Polytechnic’s Central O t a g o c a m p u s i n Cromwell. The contestants had to complete several practical and theoretical tests, including setting up a sprayer and discussing t r a c t o r s a f e t y a n d maintenance; trellising part of a vineyard; pruning a two-cane grapevine, and designing an irrigation system for a new vineyard and fulfilling the resource consent requirements. Their knowledge of health and safety protocols was
also assessed, along with their budgeting skills and their understanding o f v i n e y a r d p e s t s and diseases.
In the “hortisports” competition, contestants raced against the clock to assemble a wheelbarrow, before transporting potting mix and planting a rose bush. They were interviewed by Central
Otago District mayor Tony Lepper; New Zealand Winegrowers chairperson Steve Green, from Carrick Wines; and Terra Sancta Wines viticulturist Len Ibbotson. They gave a three-minute speech to a crowd of diners, and took part in a round of quick-fire questions and a wine identification competition.

However, the change may not impact greatly on the district as the council has never declined an application for consent for a centre pivot irrigator. Since 2009, 14 consent applications have been granted in the district, allowing 29 irrigators. All of these are in the Upper Clutha.
Getting permission to take ground or river water for irrigators remains the domain
of the Otago Regional Council and would still require consent, Mark said.
Devon Dairy Farms applied for consent for a further four centre pivot irrigators on its Hawea Flat dairy farm in June, along with permission to clear native vegetation. The application said the pivots would irrigate 174ha. As mitigation, Devon Dairy Farms proposed protecting a 73ha conservation area on the property. Since the QLDC’s decision, Devon Dairy Farms
has withdrawn its application for both the irrigators and the native vegetation clearance. The company’s consultant planner, Duncan White of Paterson Pitts, said he could not comment on why Devon Dairy Farms had withdrawn its application to clear indigenous vegetation.
“I am limited in what I should be discussing,” he said. “You should talk to Devon Dairies.” The company could not be contacted yesterday.
However, Duncan was able
to say the company would not need permission from the Otago Regional Council to take more water to supply its four new irrigators. He said the company already has ORC permits allowing it to take almost 245 million litres of groundwater a year for irrigation.
“Devon Dairy Farms also has shares in the Hawea Irrigation Company,” he said. “With those shares and existing bores, they’ve got enough water [for four new irrigators].”

The Wanaka community is invited to watch its new voluntary patrol group training this weekend.
The Wanaka Community Patrol began last weekend, with volunteers keeping an eye on happenings in the area between about 10pm and 2am on Friday and Saturday.
Chairperson Steve Worley said a training day would be held at The Venue on Saturday, on the corner of Cardrona Valley and Orchard roads, which people were welcome to watch. A specialist trainer would attend along with patrollers from Dunedin and Cromwell.
It would be a good opportunity for people considering joining the group to find out more about
it, Steve said.Training would take place
between 10am and 3pm, with a $10 lunch served at about 1pm.
Steve and Paul Tamati (pictured right and left respectively) carried
out the first patrol shift on Friday night, along with the group’s police liaison officer, Constable Mike Thomas.
They spent most of the shift in Wanaka, but also visited Albert
Town. Future patrols would also cover Lake Hawea, Luggate and Cardrona.
Steve said there were a couple of large groups of youths walking around Wanaka, but they were well behaved. The patrollers got a “few waves” and their vehicle and logo was noticed.
“Generally town was busy…even at one or two o’clock in the morning. It opened our eyes about what is really going on.”
The patrols would continue this weekend. The group was still without a vehicle and ongoing petrol donations and volunteers were using their own vehicles and paying for the fuel.
Steve and his wife, Lea Worley, had contributed about $1000 to the cause to date and Lea would make the training day lunch, he said.

A Lake Hawea resident says the flooding problems which have plagued parts of Hawea Flat since Kane Road was realigned culminated in a 1m-deep inundation of the St Ninian’s Church grounds during recent heavy rain.
Neville Rosborough is calling on the Queenstown Lakes District Council to fix the problem, which caused significant flooding on parts of the Presbyterian church grounds on June 25 (pictured).
The floodwater was 1m-deep in places and 200mm up the exterior walls of the almost 80-year-old church. Fortunately the floor level was higher, so there was no interior flooding, Neville Rosborough said.
He lodged a “request for service” with the council, via its website. His request was acknowledged by an automatic email reply, but he had not heard whether any action had been taken, or was being considered.
“I can only assume they didn’t realise just how bad it was.”
Neville, who maintained the church grounds, said the area had always been prone to slight flooding, but “nothing like” what had been experienced since road works
were carried out about three years ago.
“We never ever used to get flooding in the corner of the St Ninian’s section. It’s now the lowest point…they’ve really built that corner up,” he said.
A retired mechanical engineer, Neville said the road was realigned to give Windmill Corner, where there had been several traffic “incidents,” a camber, and a gentle “s” bend was added to the straight stretch of road to slow motorists down.
As a result, rainfall now ran over Kane Road “creating a massive pool of water all the way back to St Ninian’s” and at
times flooding some residents’ properties, he said.
The flooding of the church grounds could be “easily fixed” by the addition of a sump at the corner of St Ninian’s Way and Kane Road. It would not have to be very deep, he said, as there were free-draining alluvial gravels quite near the surface.
“It’s just going to cost money.”When contacted by the
Wanaka Sun, the council’s chief engineer, Ulrich Glasner, said in a statement the problem was being looked into.
“Mr Rosborough has made some assumptions about the
causes of the flooding, which we are investigating.
“From what I can ascertain to date, the road realignment which Mr Rosborough suggests is causing the recent flooding was done several years ago.
“At this stage, we don’t know what other factors might be causing or influencing the problem, but we do know that there is always a risk of flooding in this area after heavy rain. There is nearly no natural fall in the Hawea Flat area, which means water tends to pond.”
Ulrich did not say when the problem was likely to be resolved.

Planting day at Albert Town Lagoon
Community help is wanted to plant about 150 native trees and shrubs around the Albert Town Lagoon this weekend.
The plants, which included kahikatea, kanuka, flax, kowhai, coprosma, olearia
and cabbage trees, have been grown b y W a n a k a ’ s T e K a k a n o A o t e a r o a Trust and funded by the Queenstown Lakes District Council and Simon Darby Photography.
People are invited to a planting day on Saturday, July 19, to plant the species
around the edge of the lagoon (pictured) to provide shelter for the birdlife.
Funding from the QLDC this financial year would also enable the removal of more unhealthy trees in the area.
Sixty trees were also planted by the Wanaka Scouts on
Arbor Day. The trees w e r e d o n a t e d b y contracting company, Asplundh.
Saturday’s planting day begins at 10am. People are asked to meet at the Alison Avenue entrance to the lagoon and to wear gumboots and t a k e a s p a d e if possible.
Wanaka will feature on the Sky Travel channel tonight, in part nine of a series called RV Rampage. The hosts Henry Cole and Amanda Byram (pictured) are travelling around New Zealand with five international teams of two, which are competing to be crowned “the ultimate adventurers”.
“Pushed to their very
limits, the teams undertake tourist challenges designed to immerse them in the culture and lifestyle of New Zealand,” the programme’s publicity material says. Tonight (Thursday) “their destination is the affluent and beautiful lakeside town of Wanaka. Tourists flock here for the breath-taking scenery and incredible light…the team’s challenge is to capture the stunning lakeside views on canvas
under the guidance of a local artist.” Afterwards “the teams head back into the hills, don wetsuits and helmets and head out with a Bear Grylls-style climbing advisor for a day’s canyoning.”
The publicist was unable to tell the Wanaka Sun who the local artist or the Bear Grylls-style climbing advisor are, but a look at the television at 7.30pm would be one way to find out.

Sue standing for Greens
Three cheers for cheerleading
Hawea Flat resident Sue Coutts has been selected as the Green Party’s candidate in the Waitaki electorate for this year’s general election. Sue was also the candidate in 2011, when the Green Party won 20 percent of the votes in Wanaka.
“It was closer to 30 percent for Hawea,” Sue said. “Our region is heavily dependent on tourism and agriculture. We all know our livelihoods depend on maintaining our clean, green image, so it’s easy to see why so many local people support the Greens.”
Currently the manager of Wanaka Wastebusters, Sue grew up in Wairarapa. Like many others, she came to Wanaka for a holiday, in 1996, and never left.
She lives with her partner Jeremy (Bis) Bisson and their son Noel, who is at Mount Aspiring College.
“I’m campaigning for the Green Party because they join the dots between looking after our people, taking care of our place and making sure we all have the
chance to make a decent living,” Sue said. “Waitaki is a huge electorate. It stretches from Wanaka to Geraldine, across to Oamaru then back to Roxburgh. It is fascinating meeting people from all over the electorate and finding out what matters
most to them.“If there is one thing
I want people to hear, it’s that every single vote makes a difference.
“Make sure you are on the electoral roll so you can vote for the world you want to live in.”
Wanaka now has its own cheerleading club and the coach hopes to have a local team competing at a national level by next year.
The club was started by coach and former cheerleader Luci Capper at the beginning of the year and already has nine members aged seven to 14 years. They are (pictured) Pyper Turner, Taylah Jones, Georgia Liley, Briar Hight, Melanie Telford, Louis Hughes, Li l ly Trotter, Eva Gilbertson and Aislyn Fay. The team is called Summit Cheer and it practises on Wednesday nights
in the Wanaka Primary School hall.
“It’s not the pompoms and chanting type of cheerleading,” Luci said. “It’s competition-style
routines, gymnastics and dancing. The kids love it.”
L u c i g r e w u p c h e e r l e a d i n g a n d coaching in Auckland. She competed with the
New Zealand All Star Cheerleaders team in the World Cheerleading Championships in Florida at the age of 16 and again two years later. Her former team has just won the world championships.
L u c i s t o p p e d cheerleading after she discovered snowboarding. She did eight back-to-back winters in Wanaka and Tahoe (California) b e f o r e s e t t l i n g i n Wanaka permanently 12 months ago.
“That gave me the opportunity to start Summit Cheer,” she said. “It’s great to be coaching again.’’

Five of the seven stages of Te Kakano’s Roy’s Bay restoration programme - along the track between Stoney Creek and Waterfall Creek - are now complete. Te Kakano is a not-for-profit community native plant nursery in Wanaka which is managed by Andrew Penniket. He said the restoration programme had progressed well, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers. The Te Kakano Trust is now seeking funding for the two remaining stages of the project - the Stoney Creek Wetland and the track from Sunrise Bay to the pump station.
The trust is chaired by Stu Thorne and administered by Raewyn Calhaem. Raewyn said Te Kakano was nearly halfway through its planting schedule for the year and had now completed the Wanaka Primary School reference garden.
“It now has 28 species in place,” she said. “In late May we had one of the biggest volunteer turnouts this year, with 30 adults and children getting stuck into planting at the school.” Local businesses which supported the project included Cluden Quarry, which donated stepping stones, Wanaka Metalworks and pupils’ parents who donated plant labels and The Bakery/Doughbin which provided morning
teas. The reference garden would be officially opened in spring.
Te Kakano had two new projects this year - the Albert Town Lagoon, where a community planting day is being held this Saturday, and Waimana Place on the Eely Point track.
Raewyn said Te Kakano is always keen to hear from the community about prospective new project sites. Criteria for a project included a site on publicly accessible land in the vicinity of Lake Wanaka, Lake Hawea, Albert Town, Makarora, Cardrona or Luggate which was suitable for native plants and was relatively free from pests.

Police were called to assist Cardrona Alpine Resort staff on Monday as heavy traffic caused issues. Police will focus on the road during peak times and advise drivers to be patient, keep their speed down and watch their following distances on the Cardrona Valley Road.
Last Saturday at about 1pm, police were called to an altercation between two vehicles on the Albert Town bridge. Police are seeking information about two males who were in a silver Subaru Forester and left the scene before police arrived. The vehicle was heading towards Lake Hawea.
Also on Saturday, police dealt with an underage male who was found in a bar after using false identification to get in. He was warned and received a $200 fine.
A string of thefts has been reported over the last week. Skis, snowboards, bags, clothing and fuel have been stolen, as well as items from unlocked vehicles and from bars.
During the week, police also dealt with a teenage party, a couple of vehicle crashes, a domestic incident and some wilful damage.

Hairstyle tips to heat up your winter look...Want to maintain healthy hair in this cold, dry weather? Local hair stylist Shannon Van Walt (pictured) has these great tips:
KEEP VOLUME – scruff hair at the roots before putting your beanie on to stop hair from going flat. OILY DILEMMA – use dry shampoo spray for roots to remove oils and freshen your style.BREAKAGE – plait hair on different sides each time and keep ponytails and buns loose to prevent breakage.TRIM IT – trim your hair at the beginning of winter and beginning of summer. BOOK EARLY – if bad weather is coming, book your hair appointment early. Everyone in Wanaka gets their hair done on a non-ski day!DUST IT – dust it powder is a must for all fringes. Helps keep it out of the way and keep texture and volume even once wet.BALANCING ACT – shampoo only your roots and condition only the ends to help prevent oily roots.PHOTO FINISH – as well as pictures of what you want your new do to look like, show pictures of what you don’t like. BE HONEST – tell your hairdresser honestly what your day-to-day care is if you want to avoid a high maintenance hairstyle. DRY IT – beanie wearers beware: putting your beanie on wet hair can cause dandruff and stinky odors. WASH – if you’re wearing beanies, wash your hair at least twice a week.
Artwork inspired by Aurora track
The Aurora walking track at Bendigo is the inspiration b e h i n d a n e x h i b i t i o n b y Central Otago artists, currently showing at Hullabaloo in Old Cromwell Town.
The one-hour loop track goes through an area of the lower Dunstan Mountains which was a hard-rock mining area from 1863 until the 1930s. The track passes through remnants of old mining towns, including Logantown which had three hotels, a butcher and a baker, as well as miners’ huts. Other features of the track are deep open mine shafts, batteries, a stone causeway, old cart tracks, water races and a regenerating kanuka forest.
The exhibition is called Project Aurora and came about because the artists wanted to have a collaborative multi-media exhibition “which told a cohesive visual story involving individual interpretations. The source material provided visual allusions and references in our work and, in particular,
gave a historical context that informs our present human and physical environment.”
Artists with work in the exhibition include (pictured from left) Luke Anthony (Ranfurly), Liz Rowe (Dunedin), Rachel
Hirabyashi (Cromwell), Megan Huffadine (Cromwell), Nigel Wilson (Alexandra), Lynne Wilson (Cromwell), Gail De Jong (Bannockburn), Sue Rutherford (Hawea), Ro Bradshaw (Gibbston Valley) and - all from
Alexandra - Annmarie Hope-Cross, Marion Vialadi and Eric Schusser. Locals exhibiting but not in the photograph are Jillian Porteous (Bendigo), Lorraine Higgins (Cromwell) and Andi Regan (Wanaka).

Road to GlasgowWanaka’s Tony Dodds was tenth, and the best of the kiwi men, in the ITU World Triathlon Series Hamburg Sprint Distance (750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run) on Sunday, despite not recording a time due to losing his timing chip. In the women’s race, another local triathlete, Nicky Samuels, came in 18th with a time of 58:04. Both athletes will represent New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
T h e t h e m e o f t h e W a n a k a S k i a n d S n o w s p o r t s C l u b ’ s (WSSC) annual “welcome to winter” athletes’ night on Friday was celebrating success.
F o o t a g e f r o m 1 5 athletes’ 2014 northern hemisphere campaigns was screened and some of the athletes were present to interview each other about the season’s highs and lows. They included Sam Smoothy, who was placed second in the 2014 world freeride b i g m o u n t a i n t o u r ; Fraser McDougall, who was described as the club’s big mountain poster boy, and 2006 Torino Alpine Olympian Nicola Campbell.

Last weekend Wanaka song and dance fans were treated to a polished performance during SOAR – a five-show season starring 30 locals, directed by choreographer Rachel Erichsen and vocal tutor Jenn Shelton.
SOAR was raunchy (maybe a little too raunchy for some in audience - which included little girls and grandmothers), but it was slick, sassy and sophisticated. Wanaka should be proud of the wealth of talent on display, thanks to
Rachel and Jenn and a lot of hard work by everyone involved. It was great to see a show where everyone looked as if they were having a ball, even when performing numbers which didn’t seem entirely age-appropriate (call me old fashioned).
S t a n d o u t a d u l t vocal performances came from Marcel Moore (Feeling Good), Chris Hadfield (Come What May) and of course Jenn who has a remarkable voice. The young singing stars all gave strong, confident performances particularly Kirsten
Jongsma (Edge of G l o r y ) , B r o n n i e Ormandy (Last Love Song), Harry Hughes ( Fallin’) and, last but not least , nine-year-old Maya Erichsen with a show-stopping performance of James Brown’s I Got You.
T h e d a n c i n g was dynamic and accomplished, from both adult and child performers. Rachel’s t a l e n t s h o w s n o signs of aging, and her three daughters have inherited plenty from her. Another stand-out dancer was Isy McNabb, and Leo Munro-Heward’s e n t h u s i a s m w a s
priceless.Crowd favourites
included American and Conga, and the much-too-short closing number, We Will Rock You.
Those who missed SOAR may have been put off by ticket price ($25 for adults and children), but those of us who went soared home, inspired once again by the talent in our town.
Pictured are Thea Erichsen, 11, and Harry Hughes, 12, who sang Jessie J’s Gold with six dancers including ( in the background) Pyper Turner, 13.
The author of a best-selling health book, Jason Shon Bennett, is speaking in Wanaka next week.Jason Shon Bennett is a health researcher who has studied centenarians throughout the world in an effort to understand how to prevent modern lifestyle diseases and live a long and healthy life. His book - called Eat Less, Live Long – was released early this year and, in terms of sales, is in the top-ten non-fiction titles nationwide.Jason Shon Bennett is speaking next Thursday, July 24, in the Armstrong Room of the Lake Wanaka Centre from 6.30pm. His seminar would explain how to get healthy, lose weight and prevent disease, through practical and easy-to-implement diet and lifestyle tips. “At the heart of my seminars is to teach New Zealanders how to make simple diet and lifestyle changes that have been proven to make a massive difference to how you age, how long you live, how healthy you are, how much energy you have and how well you look.“…there are so many conflicting health messages out there. However, there are many studies on the centenarians of the world – those who live to 100 or more with amazing health and vitality and there are clearly some key common threads in their lifestyle and diet, which is the focus of what I teach,” he said.

We have been fortunate to receive funding from the Graham and Olive West Trust to offer older people in the community free computer lessons. These could be one-on-one or in small groups and could be in your home using your own device or in a place of your own choice. If you were wondering what an older person is we are aiming at the over 60-year-olds, however, grey-haired or not, we are flexible. If you are interested please contact Community Networks Wanaka.
The Wanaka Alcohol Group hosted James Beck from “Attitude” last month. We had a great turnout and James presented some
useful practical tips on staying connected with the young people in our lives. In particular, he talked about internet safety. Following are a few points from his presentation: 76 percent of young people’s communication is via social media. Teens don’t
want to miss out. Logging on to the internet is a way for them to get the gossip, the games, the toys, the thrills. It’s easy for them to get compulsive, doing one last check of their email, Facebook and so on. But we need to help them understand that, while
it is a wonderful addition to life, technology should never sap the energy and emotion out of actual living and that once you post something online it is there forever. Filtered internet providers (such as Maxnet and Watchdog) can provide an obstacle to those nasty sites. You can find great resources and advice at www.netsafe.co.nz and for more information go to www.attitude.org.nz.
The School Holiday Club is in full swing and we have many diverse and exciting activities for children. Many thanks to the great team, in particular the many volunteers who help out each day.

EDITORIAL There will be a collective sigh of relief echoing around town when the school holidays are over.We love the family visitors, the friends who come to stay (everyone with a house in Wanaka is very popular in the ski season), and the extra business in town.But we love it when they’ve gone too, when we can call our homes our own again, when we have time to see local friends, when shopping in town returns to being a pleasurable activity, and we can get a car park exactly where we want one. There can’t be one person in town who doesn’t benefit in some way from the holiday rush, whether it’s opening their eyes a little to the ways of other people in the world, lining their pockets, or just giving them something to grizzle about.

Braden takes Swedish titleWanaka’s Braden Currie has won the inaugural Xterra Sweden, held on July 13 in Hellasgården. Braden won the race in 2:13:47, crossing the line almost four-and-a-half minutes before pre-race favourites South African Dan Hugo (second) and Australian Ben Allen (third in 2:19:07).It was Braden’s first Xterra win in Europe. He was second in Xterra France in early July and Xterra Switzerland in June and was placed third in the inaugural Xterra Asia-Pacific Championship in Australia in April, after winning his hometown race, Xterra Motatapu, in March.“As I pulled away from the run transition in first place, I knew it was going to be my day. I’d felt good throughout the entire race and it felt easy to stick with Dan [Hugo] on the bike, which was a good feeling,” Braden said. “Heading into the run, I knew I had a big advantage and was pretty happy to hammer it home.” He said knowing he had beaten one of the world’s leading multisport athletes, along with seeing his wife Sally and son Tarn cheering him through the finish flags, were the most rewarding aspects of the race. His next event is the Xterra Italy on July 26.

Futsal champions
Road cycling championships
Mount Aspiring College students had a strong showing at their first school road cycl ing championship, at the South Island Secondary School Road Cycling C h a m p i o n s h i p i n Christchurch recently.
The girls’ road cycling team was set up by experienced coaches - fathers Patrick Harvey
and Jon Andrews - who wanted to enable a group of girls who loved cycling to train together. Mikayla Harvey, Ellesse Andrews and Phoebe Young all have different cycling backgrounds, including road cycling, track and mountain biking, but they practised together for the SISS road cycling team trial event, as well as for individual events. Mikayla, however, was forced to withdraw from
the race after becoming unwell, while Ellesse, Phoebe and Alex Young (pictured) raced well.
P h o e b e w o n t h e under-15 individual time trial and was second in the road cycling race; Ellesse was third in the under-16 individual time trial and fifth in the road cycling race; and Alex was seventh in the boys’ under-16 individual time trial and tenth in the road cycling race.
Three local girls - Georgina Lilly (captain), Lily Waters and Connor Moore - played in the 15th Grade Girls National Futsal Competition in Wellington’s ABS Sports Arena last week and won the title for their age group. The under-15 team, Futsal South, which also included players from Dunedin, Alexandra, Queenstown and Geraldine, formed six weeks ago and had never played together before the national event. They played five national federations and won every game with a total of 28 goals for and 13 against, during the two-day event. They met strong opposition from the Capital Football team in the finals and defeated the home team 4-2. The national championships are held annually, with all regional football federations taking part.The team (pictured) comprises Bella James (Dunedin), Holly Pascoe (Geraldine), Georgina Lilly (Lake Hawea), Sophie Aitken (Queenstown), Lily Waters (Wanaka), Connor Moore (Wanaka) and Julia Driehuis (Alexandra).

Charity shield actionEight teams contested the pre-season Wanaka Futsal Charity Shield on Sunday, which consisted of two rounds and a play-off match.
In the first round, The Ballstars (last year’s shield winner and league champions) were beaten by newcomers Notinyourmumsforest. The Mishits were then seen off by the youthful Dribble Squad (pictured). The (original) Misfits, even with their new signings, were unable to hold off the equally bolstered WPC team in a very tight game. A newly constituted Independent Scotland dispatched the New Team which, although just created, was already in a state of dissolution.
In the first game of the second round, the veteran WPC team was
no match for the Dribble Squad and they were swept aside by the pace and skills of the youngsters. Independent Scotland defeated Notinyourmumsforest in a hotly
contested game between two teams mainly made up of 11-a-side team-mates. The Mishits and the New Team played off to avoid the Wooden Spoon, with the
more seasoned professionals in the Mishits side finally coming good to win seventh place. The Ballstars managed to sneak into sixth place by holding off a resilient challenge from the Misfits.
In the penultimate game of the night, WPC took on Notinyourmumsforest, winning the game to take home The Pot, the third place prize.
The final, between Dribble Squad and Independent Scotland, was a tight game in which the balance of power swung from one side to the other in the first half. At full time there was nothing separating them and extra time was required to determine a winner, for the first time in the competition’s history. Dribble Squad were the eventual winners with two goals, one each from the Ceci brothers.

Anna competes for New ZealandFormer Wanaka Rowing Club member Anna Watson Taylor travelled to Australia with the New Zealand under-21 rowing squad on July 4 for a three-day event. She competed in the first of two regattas for the New Zealand under-21 team at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. Anna (pictured second from left) won the lightweight single and eight race and was placed second in the lightweight double and in the quad. Anna’s first year with Wanaka Rowing Club was the 2010-2011 season when she was 15 and was coached by Amanda Inkster. Coach Dave Varney oversaw her training for the next two years and Rob Bruce coached her during her last months in Wanaka, before she went to Otago Polytechnic to study architectural draughting. The team’s next regatta is in Cambridge at the end of August. Points are awarded for each race in the regatta and the overall winner will be announced at the end of the series.
