Waitaki District Health Services (WDHS) directors are looking at how a boundary change might work and how funding and services would transfer from the Southern District Health Board (SDHB) to South Canterbury. Health services chairman George Berry advised Waitaki District councillors last week that any such arrangement would need to involve the continuation of a full range of services.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview This excursion provides an overview of the geology and tectonics of the Waitaki valley, including some features of its hydroelectric dams. The excursion highlight is Aviemore Dam, constructed in the 1960s across a major fault, the subsequent (mid-1990s – early 2000s) discovery and quantification of late Quaternary displacement on this fault and the resulting engineering mitigation of the dam foundation fault displacement hazard. The excursion provides insights to the nature and expression of faults in the Waitaki landscape, and the character and ages of the Waitaki alluvial terrace sequences.

    -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.

    May 2017 Copper in Cattle “Fog Fever” - Cow Deaths From a mob of in-calf heifers grazing regrowth rape, 3 heifers were noticed with an unusual grunting cough. Twenty four hours later, two of these heifers died. Post-Mortem of these affected heifers showed unusual infl ammation in the lungs. This was confi rmed by the lab to be “Acute Bovine Pulmonary Emphysema and Odema” or “Fog Fever” for short. The third heifer was treated symptomatically but died 36 hours later. Fog Fever is a James Herriot era name and the disease probably has nothing to do with fog and more to do with the fact the disease is more commonly seen in the autumn.
