Well that’s my story anyway. I certainly hope so. However, this year since March has been one of uncertainty. COVID-19 has and continues to create havoc, fatalities, depression, hardship, economic ruin and violence to name some of the atrocities inflicted upon the world over. It comes home to us how vulnerable the human being really is and the need to be vigilant and not take too much for granted. The season of Advent has begun and we strive to prepare ourselves for the celebration of Christ Jesus’ birth once again. May we treasure the gift of Christ and that more and more will return and see the wonderful gift Christ Jesus is to humanity. In wishing you a very Happy Christmas I would like to thank you all. Christmas Day is very special but you are gifts to me and within the parish all year round for which I truly appreciate and learn from your examples both young and old in season and out of season. Blessings to you all Fr. Wayne Editorial DECEMBER 2020 - JANUARY 2021 ROSTERS There are three Gospel readings for Christmas Day. Morning Tea Sunday The first for Midnight Mass, the second for Dawn 6/12/2020 Espie Orlowski Mass and the third for Daytime Mass. The daytime Mass 13/12/2020 Roseanne Sheridan is taken from the Gospel of John and starts with ‘In 20/12/2020 Demi McLaren the beginning,’ John in his gospel refers us back to the 27/12/2020 Vanita Malekar creation of the earth but speaks of a presence already 3/01/2021 Eufrosina Finlayson there which was the Word. ’In the beginning was the 10/01/2021 Stephanie Leong Son Word and the Word was in God’s presence and the Word 17/01/2021 Espie Orlowski was God. This Word was present to God and through this 24/01/2021 Roseanne Sheridan Word all things came into being.’ God was not alone at 31/01/2021 Demi McLaren the creation; the Word was there present, and this Word 7/02/2021 Vanita Malekar became flesh and dwelt among us. Counters In Wisdom 18 we are told that this almighty Word leapt 6/12/2020 Ria Keogh down to be with us. When we go leaping about it is as 6/12/2020 Christine Hall if we are filled with exuberance and excitement. This 6/12/2020 Mary Dwyer Christmas we recall and remember this mighty deed 13/12/2020 Gloria Mansfield when God came among us to be one with us. Came with 13/12/2020 Carmen Sutherland excitement so that each of us can share in this fullness 20/12/2020 Dave Marriott of God; not just at Christmas but each day and in every 20/12/2020 Larraine Marriott event of our life. The excitement of Christmas is so 27/12/2020 Pat Finlay present when small children unwrapping gifts go leaping 27/12/2020 Anthea Finlay about and get so excited seeing parcels under the tree 3/01/2021 Lorraine Bremner wondering what is for them and what will be hidden 3/01/2021 Marie Watson under that paper. 10/01/2021 Frank Plieger What will be the hidden gift of God for each of us this 10/01/2021 Sally Galvin Year? I don’t yet know. Perhaps it will be a new life or the 10/01/2021 Gina Fox ending of an old life. Perhaps a joy of something new but 17/01/2021 Mary Watson perhaps a burden to be carried. Yet each is a gift if we can 17/01/2021 Ngaire Henderson view it like that. 17/01/2021 Marion Morris 'Word' is an interesting metaphor to use for this 24/01/2021 Susan Henderson presence. We use words to express what we are feeling, 24/01/2021 Bernadette Rawson and we search for words to express what we don’t yet 31/01/2021 Ria Keogh know. Often words take on a life of their own. A poet uses 31/01/2021 Christine Hall words to say something important to him or herself but 31/01/2021 Mary Dwyer when I read the words, they become my own and take 7/02/2021 Gloria Mansfield on new life. I bring to the words images and experiences 7/02/2021 Carmen Sutherland that I have which the creator of the original words didn’t Church Cleaners have, and I give the words new meaning. 6/12/2020 Jenny Nyika So it is with this Word of God. This Word is forever new, 13/12/2020 Anthea Finlay giving life and newness in every generation never old; 13/12/2020 Coleen Blackmore forever a life renewed as we keep celebrating Christmas 20/12/2020 Anthea Finlay after Christmas year in year out. All our Christmases are 20/12/2020 Coleen Blackmore forever different like a renewing of all that is within us. 27/12/2020 Tony Perniskie Other gospels give us other images of the glory that came 27/12/2020 Bev Conlan among us in the form of angels singing and the brightest 3/01/2021 Tony Perniskie of stars shining glory all around. 3/01/2021 Bev Conlan John in the Gospel says ‘ Of this Word’s fulness we have 10/01/2021 Tony Kearns all had a share – love following upon love. For while the 10/01/2021 Pauline Orr law, as given through Moses, this enduring love came 17/01/2021 Tony Kearns through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. It is God 17/01/2021 Pauline Orr the Only Begotten, ever at our Creator’s side who has 24/01/2021 Sharny Guthrie revealed God to us! 24/01/2021 Anne Sutherland May your Christmas be filled with the love and glory 31/01/2021 Sharny Guthrie of God.

  • FT7 Vanished World
    GEOSCIENCES 09 Annual Conference Oamaru, NZ FIELD TRIP 7 VANISHED WORLD Wednesday 25 November 2009 Leader: Ewan Fordyce Geology Dept, University of Otago BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: Fordyce, E. (2009). Vanished World. In: Turnbull, I.M. (ed.). Field Trip Guides, Geosciences 09 Conference, Oamaru, New Zealand. Geological Society of New Zealand Miscellaneous Publication 128B. 13 p. INTRODUCTION The trip has themes of: geological education/ geological sites; regional stratigraphy/ paleontology; and history of geology. It is based around localities from Papakaio to Duntroon-Maerewhenua, North Otago. We will visit a geological visitor centre - Vanished World Centre, Duntroon (www.vanishedworld.co.nz), and significant sites for the Paleogene of southern Canterbury Basin: Cameron's Pit (plant fossils, Cretaceous), Maerewhenua (shallow marine strata, sill, Eocene), and Awamoko-Duntroon (distal marine and unconformities, Oligocene). We will visit 1-2 of the sites specially developed for the public as part of the Vanished World Trail. Text, photos and graphics are by Ewan Fordyce. VANISHED WORLD The Vanished World Trail comprises a self-guided 80 km tour around some 20 geological sites in North Otago, on the coast from Waianakarua (south) to Oamaru (north), and inland to Duntroon in the Waitaki Valley. Sites are on public and private land; access to sites is free, but conditions may be imposed by some landowners. Some sites are close to or on roads, but others require a short walk. The trail is a community initiative developed by locals since 2000, in partnership with the University of Otago, to foster conservation, education and scientific study. The concept of Vanished World arose from local interest in, particularly, research on fossils from the district, but aims to take geology in the broadest sense to the public.

Waitaki Delta Character Description This unit extends from the Otago Region and Waitaki District boundary at the Waitaki River, approximately 20km along the coast to the northern end of Oamaru. This area is the southern part of the outwash fan of the Waitaki River, and the unit extends northwards from the river mouth into the Canterbury Region as well. The coast is erosional and is characterised by a gravel beach backed by a steep consolidated gravel cliff. Nearer the river mouth the delta land surface is lower and there is no coastal cliff. In places, where streams reach the coast, there are steep sided minor ravines that run back from the coast. The land behind is farmed to the clifftop and characterised by pasture, crops and lineal exotic shelter trees. Farm buildings are scattered about but not generally close to the coastal edge. There are a number of gravel extraction sites close to the coast. 2 In the absence of topographical features, the coastal environment has been identified approximately 100m back from the top of the cliff to recognise that coastal influences and qualities extend a small way inland.

  • Macraes Phase Iii Project Assessment of Economic
    1 MACRAES PHASE III PROJECT ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC IMPACTS Mike Copeland Brown, Copeland & Co Ltd 14 April 2011 BLH-453174-226-635-V2 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Macraes Gold Project commenced operations in 1990 following the granting of initial consents in 1988. In 1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2006 further consents were issued in relation to various expansions in both the rate of production and physical elements of the mine (pits, waste rock stacks and storage facilities for tailings and process water). In 2002 consent was granted for the development of a heritage and art park (HAP) on the site as part of the land rehabilitation package instead of the land reverting to pasture as initially intended. 1.2 OceanaGold (New Zealand) Limited is now seeking an extension to the consented life of the Macraes Gold Project. The extension called the Macraes Phase III Project will take the consented mine life through to 2020 or potentially longer, instead of the mine closing in 2012. The processing rate and intensity of operations on the site will be slightly higher than current levels, although production at the Fraser’s underground mine is expected to cease at the end of 2014 and current planning is for the Macraes opencast mining operations to be scaled back towards the end of the mine’s life (i.e. in 2019 and 2020). Should the mine no longer be operating after 2020 there will still be employment at the mine site for up to 18 months as rehabilitation works are undertaken. Environmental monitoring work would still be required on an intermittent basis.
