RURAL HERO EXAMPLE: Dr Peter Snow
RURAL HERO EXAMPLE: Dr Peter Snow WONCA Member Organisation: Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners Name: Peter Snow Year of Birth: 1935 Year of Death: 2006 Place of Work: Tapanui, New Zealand Brief Biography: Peter attended Auckland Grammar School and went on to study Medicine at Otago. Why they have been nominated “rural hero”: In 1984 Peter was presented with a number of patients with a prolonged exertional flu-like illness, but presenting no diagnosable condition. While some people thought they were no different from commonly found “Tired All The Time" cases, Dr Snow was convinced that they were indeed sick and proceeded to investigate. Many were sheep farmers who previously had a perfect record of health. Observing a similarity between the symptoms of stock suffering from selenium deficiency and these patients, he was the first doctor in New Zealand to identify the disease which turned out to be an outbreak of myalgic encephalomyelitis, now classed as chronic fatigue syndrome. Due to, often disparaging, publicity surrounding these discoveries and a study into them by Peter and colleagues the illness came to be known in New Zealand as "Tapanui flu" after the town of the same name in West Otago. He was an excellent care provider, decision maker and communicator who also became concerned at the number of farmers injured in farm accidents, particularly those involving motorcycles, and made recommendations for improving farm safety. He was a community leader who campaigned against the closure of his local hospital at which he was on call 24 hrs a day 7 days a week.

Investigating Small Town Shrinkage in the Clutha District of New Zealand and the Local Response
Investigating small town shrinkage in the Clutha District of New Zealand and the local response Mathew Husband A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Planning at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 1 November 2017 i Abstract Throughout history population centres, of any size, have always fluctuated in prosperity, population, and production activities. Current international trends, such as globalisation and urbanisation have created megacities with ever-expanding populations and economies. In contrast, the same trends have begun to cause shrinkage in some parts of the world. Some small towns can be particularly vulnerable to international trends which can destabilise their populations and/ or economies. Multiple examples of this are found in New Zealand such as in towns within the southern district of Clutha. Towns in the Clutha District have been impacted by the rural to urban migration trends seen across the world as well as globalisation which creates large-scale manufacturing as opposed to the relatively small manufacturing offered by small towns. Shrinkage can have negative impacts on small towns and their communities which prompts the need for a response to slow, stop or mitigate the issues related to shrinkage. This research aims to understand the impacts and responses to population loss and economic instability which has taken place in small towns within the Clutha District. The case study towns of Kaitangata and Lawrence were chosen as these towns highlight the varying geographic, social, and economic identities of the Clutha District. The aim of this thesis is to find out how councils, communities, and individuals are affected by economic and demographic change and how they are responding to the impacts of shrinkage.
