Omarama Gazette November 6, 2019 FINAL.Pub
Omarama Gazette November 2019 And we think they're awesome too! Omarama’s Police and Land Search and Rescue volunteers have been commended and thanked for their rescue of eight students caught out by weather conditions while tramping in the Huxley last month. Last week, in an article in the Police magazine ‘Ten One’, Southern District Inspector James Ure said the operation reflected" the great work some rural offic- ers undertook regularly" and, in this case, “with two Sar jobs happening simultaneously at opposite ends of the area”. He acknowledged the team’s “quality decision making and excellent work”. “There was a very high chance of serious risk or death occurring." He thanked all the volunteers "who put themselves in harm’s way that night". “The support ...provided to RCCNZ [ Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand] in coordinating this operation proved the value of local expertise and having a good volunteer group available.” About 11.30pm, Friday, October 18, barely two hours after returning home from searching for a man missing in the Waitaki River, near Duntroon, Senior Constable Nayland (Bean) Smith and the Omarama LandSar team were alerted that help was needed to find trampers in Huxley Forks -Hopkins Valley area. Eight students aged 20 to 25 had activated a personal locator beacon near the Blair Glacier above the Huxley River. Weather conditions had deteriorated, it was snowing, two in the group were show- ing signs of hypothermia, so the group found shelter, pitched tents and because of their circumstances, activated the personal locator beacon. LandSar commended continued... Bean called Tom Moore of Lake Ohau Station who told him there was about an inch of snow on the ground, low -lying cloud and light rain but the river should be fordable with a 4WD. -

WARO Assessment of Land for Exclusion Or Restriction - As Approved by Decision Maker 1
JUSTIFICATIONS OF: . THE RESTRICTIONS IN THE PROPOSED NATIONAL WILD ANIMAL RECOVERY OPERATIONS (WARO) CONCESSION PERMIT OFFER, AND . CLOSURES OF THE LAND THAT HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE NATIONAL WARO CONCESSION PERMIT OFFER This explanatory document is a summary of the justifications of the restrictions (Schedule 5: Restricted Zones (land zoned as orange) with Special Conditions over the land) and closures (Land zoned as Red and not permitted), as provided by the Director Conservation Services of each Services Region, in the draft permit. These justifications have been arrived at having regard to the provisions of the Wild Animal Control Act 1977. In particular Part 2 and Section 23 which encompasses Section 17U of the Conservation Act 1997, paragraph (a) the provisions of the Act under which the land is held and its purposes, (b) the purpose of the Wild Animal Control Act ,(c) the role of persons engaged in recreational hunting The inclusion of this land in this national permit offer does not preclude the land being open to WARO into the future either on a one-off basis for conservation management reasons, or in future offers. Isolated blocks of under 50 hectares have been zoned red and their justifications are not provided here. Marginal Strips are generally red unless otherwise identified in the mapping. For Reserves, nature reserves default is public access by permit only. MOC may also impose entry by permit only for scientific reserves and government purpose reserves. GP reserves are often for “wildlife management purposes”.

Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations
Names & Opening & Closing Dates of Railway Stations in New Zealand 1863 to 2010 Researched & Written by Juliet Scoble for the Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand JRS/291 © Juliet Scoble 4/2010 © Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand 4/2010 Introduction This document lists the names of railway stations and the dates they were opened and closed. Included are the dates stations were opened for goods and or passenger traffic before the lines were officially opened or handed over to the Working Railways Department. Often the Public Works Department would run goods and passenger services whilst the list was still in their custody. These services were operated by the Public Works Department's ballast engine. Goods were carried in Working Railway's wagons. Occasionally a passenger car or covered wagon fitted with seats were provided, but most times passengers were carried in Public Works' ballast wagons. I have included the stations on the lines owned by the government railways, and private lines where government rolling stock was run thereon. This is an on-going work as I am still looking through files and am finding more names and other information to include in this document. Revised versions will be issued from time to time, the frequency depending upon the new information I find. Juliet Scoble 4/2010 Acknowledgements Most information has been obtained from the Rail Heritage Trust's Station Archive created and researched by Juliet Scoble, and from research specifically undertaken for this document.

Although ORC carries out regular and extensive long-term water quality monitoring as part of its State of the Environment (SoE) programme, it has not previously carried out a targeted, short-term monitoring investigation in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment. Why was this targeted investigation deemed necessary? This investigation was undertaken to: Provide a baseline of water quality in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment, including at reference sites (with low-intensity land use), Compare water quality in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment to water quality limits set out in Plan Change 6A, Identify any patterns in water quality in the Shag River/Waihemo catchment and to relate these to land-use activities, where possible. What has this study found? Water quality in the Shag/Waihemo catchment is generally good. The concentration of nitrate-nitrite nitrogen (NNN) increased at both long-term monitoring sites over the period 2001-2013, while concentrations of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH4-N) and Escherichia coli declined over this period. -

EDITORIAL Such are the wonders of modern technology that editing this issue of Chainlinks from the other side of the world, some six months after I returned to the UK, has proved remarkably easy. I have enjoyed updating myself on what is currently happening with cycling in New Zealand, and I’m struck both with the variety of activity, and by the similarity with issues here – despite now living in one of the more cycle-friendly cities in Britain (Oxford) many of the problems faced seem very similar to the frustrations felt in New Zealand. In a world made ever smaller by constantly improving communications, we shouldn’t forget international experiences and ‘best practice’ when seeking to champion the cycling cause, as we can increasingly find useful lessons the world over. The NZ Ministry of Transport recently saw a new minister take charge, Pete Hodgson, and on behalf of all at CAN, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome him to the post. -
