The chance to extend the opening hours of the Centre comes thanks to the input from Tourism Waitaki who recognise the important role the centre plays in the area of Tourism in the Valley. While work hours will be developed around the successful applicants, it is planned that the Centre will be open from 8:30am to 5:30pm over the height of summer. Positions are also available for weekend work which may suit some people more and this could be rostered rather than a commitment to every weekend. Work at the centre is varied and interesting. Full training will be given so don’t feel put off by the computer skills necessary– work at the centre is an opportunity to grow your skill base. Do take the time to read the advertisement further in the Bugle. The Chairman will answer any questions by email or you are welcome to come and chat to anyone at the centre. WAITAKI VALLEY COMMUNITY SOCIETY: The Society is largely concerned with developments in Kurow and the Hakataramea Valley but supports other townships in the Valley as needed. A particular function of the Society is to mentor small groups established to meet needs in the community, offering the role of financial management through a Treasurer and Charities Commission benefits. The Society is guided by an Executive Committee who meet monthly to drive new projects. The Society acts as the first stop when wanting to progress an idea with the Waitaki District Council in particular, with a standing member of the Ahuriri Community Board present at each meeting. The Annual General Meeting of the Society will be held shortly. This is the opportunity to hear about the organisation that is working for the community.

GItHs no pain, no gain if you want that glowing summer body,H I tell my roses in my best PE teacherHs voice. I think pruning is best done when youHre feeling a liEle crabby. (No comments from the sideIlines, please.) And itHs good most pruning needs to be at this me of the year because itHs when IHm least in love with my garden I everything looks seriously messy, scrappy and rather JmehJ. 0pring cleaning is the order of the day. ,hen I say crabby, itHs not the GAliceIinI,onderlandI/ueenIofI HeartsIoLIwithItheirIheads sort of grumpyH. ItHs more the slightly tetchy GwhoIateIthatIlastIpieceIofIchocolateH end of the spectrum. ItHs Aust that then it seems easier to adopt a take charge stance and make some snap decisions. 9ou donJt want to be so MredIup all dragons bla ing that you go in there and lop oL limbs leN right and centre Game of ThronesIstyle. (0o who, spoEed the mixed metaphor thereOP) Three things you can never get back I me once itHs gone, words once theyHre spoken, and bits youHve lopped oL plantsP Thankfully, nature is most forgiving and cuQng too deeply is usually rewarded with fresh, lush new growth, though not always in the right place. Advice on how to best prune anything is free and abundant on the Hnet. ItJs guaranteed to turn you into an armchair expert and is a marvellous distracon from geQng the Aob done. The way I look at it, if you cut out the dead wood and anything toxic (diseased), anything thatHs Aust noise R i.e. twiggy stuL, and anything that rubs together, or you up the wrong way you preEy much cover all the bases for creang a healthy, shapely specimen. Timing can be important. If you have an important summer date, prune roses six to eight weeks before you want them in Sower. ,ith my roses, because of the high countryHs late, hard frosts, I try restrain myself to Aust a wee dyIup early spring. I save the hardest cuts for aNer the Mrst main Sowering when the midIsummer heat in Omarama sends roses into dormancy. ANer that, a good watering and mulch of compost has them back to looking their blooming best in autumn. And, unless itHs me for a maAor renovaon I I save that for a real grump I I limit myself to cuQng back by only a third. Then thereJs the fun stuL about pruning. 0ince we, as gardeners, domescate that which is wild, it can be quite praccal to sculpture topiary or to arTully espalier to conMne a large tree or shrub within walls and fences. IJd had so much fun and thought I had almost mastered JcloudJ pruning unl I learned the kids had christened my woollyI coated, blueIgrey conifer JMr BlobbyJ. One last lesson I can pass on8 it pays to have sharp tools and more than one set. 0omewhere there is a place which provides refuge to all my runaway secateurs. 0omewhere, out there Uplease come home, all is forgiven. Ruth Grundy (I garden a small space under a big sky In Omarama.) HIGH COUNTRY GARDEN TOUR Those heading on OmaramaHs High Country Garden tour next month are in for a rare treat. The tour is the Mrst step in a maAor drive to raise about V.00,000 for an outdoor sports facility for the town. It will be a oneIoL opportunity for garden enthusiasts to view these gardens R nine in all. The challenge of gardening in the high country has resulted in some remarkable and creave soluons R each gardener has their own story to tell.

  • Section 8 - Heritage
    February 2014 Section 8 - Heritage SECTION 8 - HERITAGE PROTECTION INTRODUCTION Many places, buildings, features and trees within the District have cultural, historic, spiritual, scientific or other special interest to residents, both Māori and non-Māori, and to visitors to these areas. These items which include archaeological sites, historic buildings and wāhi tapu sites and areas (sacred places of special significance to the takata whenua) all combine to give people a sense of place and belonging and are a connection to the past which most people wish to retain. They also create a special character for the District that is attractive to visitors who increasingly are interested to rediscover "the past". In addition, many of these features add to the amenity of areas within the District. OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES Objective 1 – Conservation of Significant Heritage Resources Protection and enhancement of the significant historic heritage of the District and their surroundings, including historic sites, places, structures and areas, sites of significance to Māori including wāhi tapu and archaeological sites, in order that the character and history of the District and its people can be preserved. Explanation and Reasons • The Act requires the Council to recognise and provide the protection of historic heritage and the relationship of Māori with sites, wāhi tapu and other taonga (treasures). • The people of the district and visitors expect and appreciate the conservation of historic heritage items which give the past significance. Policy 1A - District Plan Protection To identify and protect important heritage buildings, objects, properties and places of special interest by scheduling them (in one of three Categories: A, B or C) in the District Plan and affording them differing levels of protection, through rules in the Plan, according to their significance.

Which localities are visited will depend on weather, time taken at early stops, and farm/quarry activities which normally don’t prevent access - but may occasionally.

By this time, 12 300 sheep grazed on the property (Hall 1985). Eton-educated Campbell, in partnership with William Anderson Low, had acquired Benmore Station in the upper Waitaki in April 1863 (Hall 1985). Campbell and Low paid £36,000 for the 200 000-acre (81 000-ha) property and around 15 000 sheep. Campbell and his family firm in England, Robert Campbell and Company, also had interests with Low in Galloway Station, similarly situated in the upper Waitaki. Otekaike became the family firm’s headquarters for their New Zealand estates. By 1868, Robert Campbell was running 24 000 sheep there (Hall 1985). Since he had access to capital, Campbell was able to survive periods of recession and depression (Hall 1985). However, his money was used more for the extensive acquisition of land than for improvements. In 1869, he took up Run 17 (Ben Lomond), which extended Otekaike’s boundaries beyond Otekaike Creek to the Maerewhenua River, Station Peak on the other side of the Waitaki River in South Canterbury, and Rocky Point, which adjoined Station Peak in the upper part of the Hakataramea Valley (Hall 1985).

Mysticetes baring their teeth: a new fossil whale, Mammalodon hakataramea, from the Southwest Pacific. Memoirs of Museum Victoria 74: 107–116. A small, toothed fossil cetacean from Hakataramea Valley (South Canterbury, New Zealand) represents a new Late Oligocene species, Mammalodon hakataramea. The new material is from the Kokoamu Greensand (Duntroonian Stage, about 27 Ma, early to middle Chattian) of the Canterbury Basin, and thus about 2 Ma older than the only other species included in this genus, Mammalodon colliveri (Late Oligocene, Victoria, Australia). The anterior pedicle of the tympanic bulla is not fused to the periotic and resembles that of Delphinidae in basic structure.
