  • 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.

    -Omarama Gazette - September 2019 Sabrina's taking us to the skies Not only has she adopted this place as her own, but she is determined to take our name to the skies. Last month, German -born glider pilot Sabrina Schels set a new New Zealand women’s gliding record for speed over a 100km out -and -return task, with a best speed of 171.77 km/h. And on Tuesday she had confirmation she has cracked the 200km out and back record. But she has her horizons set even higher. “I hope to break some important New Zealand records,” she says in that pragmatic way of hers. But then sheer enthusiasm ripples to the surface. “I want to show the world that New Zealand is a superb gliding country. I’m going to fly for New Zealand. New Zealand is my home and I want to give something back.” She has her sights set on gliding records not yet attempted by female pilots. “I want to fill the gaps.” In gliding, women are permitted to challenge men’s records. “Which is really quite cool.” Her aim next is to gain the appropriate licences to do this, meaning all records she sets will be flown for New Zealand. Originally from Bavaria, Germany, Sabrina trained as an environmental engineer before coming to New Zealand and to flying school in Omarama, in 2015. She gained her residency about two years ago and works as a flying instructor for Glide Omarama. She and partner Dan McCormack oversee Glide Omarama’s winter Continued from page one flying programme.

    -Omarama Gazette - March 2017 Sponsored by Omarama Collie Dog Club Shearing celebrity aims to keep a low profile There’s one thing you might not know about our celebrity shearer Peter Casserly. He likes to “keep a low profile”. He said to say that, and knows you’ll laugh. “They’ll say; ‘That’s a load of bull -s**t’,” laughing himself. There’s no doubt there is much we don’t know about our man Cass. He’s packed an awful lot into his almost 70 years and he’s not planning to change a thing in the next 70. But here’s another thing you just might not know about the shearer, duck shooter (His duck shooting get -togethers are a tradition and legend), white -baiter, fisherman … In 1974, in Christchurch, he won the world ‘speed’ record for opening 100 oysters – he did it in three minutes and three seconds. He’s not opened oysters since 1989 but in a week’s time he’s off to Bluff to tackle the task again. “It’s like riding a bike, you never forget.” It’s a lot like blade shearing – you need good hand -eye co -ordination for both, he says. For 25 seasons, while the children were young, Peter divided his time between the freezing works, shearing and opening oysters. “I’ve been married [to Gloria] 50 years, in May.” Both from the West Coast, Peter first visit east to Omarama was as a 16 -year -old shearer, in 1964. In 1988, the Casserlys made the move permanent.
