The Fairlie Accessible Issue 12-18 September 12th 2012 Delivered free to residents of Albury - Fairlie - Lake Tekapo and Districts Earth and Sky - a business to be proud of! On Saturday 9th September in Auckland Earth and Sky were presented with the Runner-up trophy for Drop, Cover and Hold is the right action to take 'New Zealand's Travel Industry Best Tour Operator- Domestic', If you are in an earthquake in New Zealand – Drop, Cover and with the winner being Guided Walks New Zealand. Hold is still the right action to take. This is the drill that has been There was an original field of 19 entrants from taught to school children for many years and is what civil throughout New Zealand in this category which was defence agencies have promoted around the country. reduced to 5 finalists. The advice has been reviewed and is still: If you are inside a Earth & Sky won the 2012 South Canterbury Chamber of building, move no more than a few steps, Commerce Business Award for 'Hospitality & Tourism then Drop, Cover and Hold. Stay indoors till the shaking stops - Large Enterprise' - on 24th August. and you are sure it is safe to exit. In most buildings in New Zealand you are safer if you stay where you are until the shaking stops. If you are outside, move no more than a few steps away from buildings, trees, streetlights and power lines, then Drop, Cover and Hold. Stay there until the shaking stops. If you are driving, pull over to a clear location, stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops. Once the shaking stops, proceed with caution and avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged. Respond quickly In a severe earthquake it is absolutely vital that people respond immediately. Confusion about what to do can result in people being seriously injured or killed. At the awards to celebrate - Graeme and Carolyn Murray (Earth & Sky Co-owners/Directors) , Margaret Munro (Earth and Sky General Manager), Chris Monson (Manager Astronomy and Natural Sciences), Helen McLeod (Earth & Sky Director) and Professor Phil Yock (Auckland University) (Absent- Hide Ozawa, Co-owner/Director). Look around you now, before an earthquake. Identify safe places such as under a sturdy piece of furniture or against an interior wall in your home, office or school so that when the shaking starts you can respond quickly. An immediate response to move to the safe place can save lives. And that safe place should be no more than a few steps or less than three metres away, to avoid injury from flying debris. The Good Citizen Award this month is Dale Jackson! DROP - COVER - HOLD! Dale has only been in Fairlie for a short time but has been supportive to a number of people in the town. She runs Spin classes and is a volunteer for St John Mackenzie. The new Drop - Cover - Hold earthquake campaign has been launched by Civil Defence. It is simply as it says – in times of earthquake you are encouraged to drop to the ground, take cover under a sound item and hold on at the same time. If that isn’t clear enough then you are about to be educated through various media, as to what to do! Civil Defence is aiming to get 1 million people to do just that DROP - COVER - HOLD – as part of a nationwide earthquake drill NZ ShakeOut 9:26 – 26:9 Well done Dale!

The laughter is first ini!ated as an exercise in a group, but with eye contact and childlike playfulness it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. We laugh without relying on humour, jokes or comedy and we laugh from our belly – in order to bring more oxygen to the body and into the brain.

I am afraid there has been a bit of a hiatus in this column for various reasons – absence for work reasons, absence for leave in Australia and for the last issue I just plain forgot about it. I put it down to this awful flu that has been doing the rounds. It just “keeps on keeping on” and I sympathise with all the other sufferers around the district. Purchase a pair of Angel A 3/4 pants or skirt and receive a free scarf!! Selec!on of scarfs now $10 40% off all Anthea Lawrence clothing Today (Saturday) I am sitting in my office, while the rain is pouring outside, and preparing a keynote speech for a conference in Auckland on Monday. Public speaking is not something that comes easily to me but I have promised myself not to pass up any opportunities that come my way because, you know what they say….”Practice makes perfect”. All Wendy and Holly shoes now $80 pair! 40% off B-Sirius handbags and purses Devine!! New range of Be-y Basics just in! Some gorgeous colours for summer sizes 8-16 The subject matter is quite easy: my transition from reception to Mayor. I shouldn’t have any difficulty filling about 40 minutes talking about myself however a friend (who shall remain nameless) has given me some pointers on making a good impression: Use your eyes Smoove vintage reworked dresses - new shipment in Also lots of yummy goodies arriving daily - do pop in check them out!! to get attention of the audience Speak s-l-o-w-l-y and don’t gabble the end of sentences …...and remember Ladies Where looking great, needn't cost the earth!! VaRy your volume And most importantly – Don’t rub your nose (apparently I do this when I am nervous). One of the most rewarding engagements I have had in the past week has been reading a bedtime story to the children of Twizel Area School, who turned up in their pyjamas and slippers on Wednesday night for stories and milo with marshmallows, before heading home to bed. What a great way to celebrate Book Week. I hope they invite me back next year. The other was being able to say “Thank you” and spend some time with a number of the volunteering community here in Fairlie on Thursday. I know that not all volunteers could make it on the day, so to the rest of you out there who willingly give up your time to make our communities the great places they are I would like to say “THANKS”! You missed the sandwiches and cake but we appreciate you anyway. WHITESTONE LTD ALLANDALE RD FAIRLIE PH (03) 685 9023 On a personal note, our second granddaughter made an early arrival last weekend. Our daughter, Gemma rang early on Saturday to ask if Stephen and I would like to meet our new granddaughter Annabelle Grace (7lb 3oz). We had both slept blissfully through the night, unaware that she was even on the way. What a terrific Father’s Day gift for Stephen, and of course another bundle of joy for me to enjoy. I love this grandparent role – so far it is all cuddles and kisses and little or no work. Perfect! YOUR LOCAL CONTRACTOR WITH A FULL RANGE OF EQUIPMENT TO ASSIST WITH YOUR PROJECTS Until next time, I hope you enjoy the budding spring and, even though it is a busy time for farming families with lambing and calving, I hope that the weather is kind and brings plenty of warm and sunny days.

Little Petites An Indian family had a lucky escape the other day when they failed to take a bend on Mt Michael and finished upside down at the bottom of a large hole. It was a good advert for seat belts with not a scratch received by any of the five occupants. RegentStreet-nextto“ACutAbove” MondayTuesdayandThursday 10am-4.00pm There was another crash that same Sunday in the Lake Tekapo township on Allan St at 6.35pm. This time the offender has driven through a wooden fence and also impacted with the side of the house. He has quickly reversed out and driven away before the house occupant had realised what had happen and that it wasn't an earthquake. Evidence left behind would suggest that the offending vehicle was a Holden Rodeo. At the time of writing the driver has yet to come forward and report the matter to the house owner or police. Fridays11.00am-4.00pm CLOSEDWednesdays Selling ‘on behalf ’ children’s clothing from newborn to around 12 years plus bedding, cots, changing tables buggies etc New “Shore Kids” clothing range and knitting plus a great selection of toys and gifts A couple of weeks ago a deer was poached from a private green feed paddock on Rocky Gully Rd. Two shots were heard and a white ute was seen leaving the scene a short time later. A blue Suzuki Quad bike has been stolen from a barn at Kakahu Forest near the corner of State Highway 79 and Halls Rd. There has been a report of fraudsters targeting unsuspecting locals on the phone with promises of money and all you have to do is send them a bank cheque of a few hundred dollars so they can release it. The offenders had a strong Indian accent and gave out an Indian address to send the cheque. Don't fall for this type of scam. Your hard earned money is better off staying in your own pocket. So until next time, be careful out there.

Red Stag Restaurant Veranda lunches! Comeandlapupthesun! GoodfoodGoodwineGoodcompany! Pre-Market Real Estate Insights Having helped a few locals sell their homes in just a few weeks, after years on and off the market, I would like to offer some free advice to others who may be thinking about selling their homes, farms or lifestyle blocks anytime soon. OPENFORLUNCH11.00-3.00pmDAILY (closedTuesdays) Pre Loved Clothing The decisions you make now will be the ones that determine the fate of your sale. Too many people decide ‘lets put it on the market and see what happens’ then when it doesn’t sell, they try to do what they should have done before they started – the first very expensive mistake! Summer clothes for all the family now in store Open Thursday - Friday 10.00am - 3.00 pm The most important part of selling your home is planning for it first; understanding buyers and how they ‘shop’ for properties comparatively, understanding what questions you should ask real estate agents about their services and understanding the impact that the architectural spaces and photos of your home can have on a sale time frame and price. Main Street next to Fairlie House and Garden Tree Topping and Trimming Rural towns are definitely more challenging when selling a property due to the limited numbers of buyers around. The trick is to know how to make your home, in your area, stand out from competing properties to the small number of buyers starting from day one. Your first week on the market can attract four times the buyer interest than for the rest of your campaign. If you want to try to sell your home for the best possible price, there are some basic principles you should understand before you list with an agent. We have created a Smarter Selling Strategies Kit which is available free by email – just send your request to [email protected] or you can call 03 685 6262 or free phone 0800 789 532 any time. I hope this helps and good luck. For all your tree and Shelterbelt trimming Locally owned and operated Contact Michael on 027 271 1127 or 685 8131 Trish Willis P.S.

FOR LEPROSY HOSPITALS AND CHILDREN’S HOMES IN NEPAL The Fairlie Community Sound System is now stored at Heartlands and you can book and arrange it all there now! The hire fee includes set-up and take down ensuring it is looked after. We are hoping to have community events on the Fairlie Village Green this summer. If you have ideas or want to organise an event yourself – let us know and we will try and help out! Here I am again doing my regular grovel to raise funds and equipment for the leprosy hospitals and homes in Nepal. The staff and patients of these institutions have requested that I pass on heartfelt thanks to all those who have kindly donated in the past. So, if you can spare any of the items listed below the recipients will be truly grateful. Supporting the Fairlie Lions The Fairlie Duathlon on Sunday 18th November is a great opportunity for the town to rise up and support the Lions in this fundraiser. The Village Green will be too busy however we are hoping the Mackenzie Markets and other stallholders may come out and add to the vibrancy of the occasion with stalls along the street. There will be entertainment on the Village Green from 12 through to 2pm. Have a think about how you or your organisation can be involved. Linen: Sheets, pillowcases, pillows, blankets, duvets, duvet covers, towels and face washers/flannels. We want wool please Heartlands Fairlie invites donations of knitting wool for the TV slippers being knitted for the children of Christchurch for next winter. Please help if you can. Any wool! And amount! Aiming for a couple of hundred pairs! Girls and Boys: Jumpers/sweaters. Size: 1 – 12 years Men: Jumpers/sweaters. Size: XXS – M. Ladies: Cardigans Only. In Nepal women generally only wear cardigans as they are worn over saris. Size: Small - Med. As the bed linen is predominantly for hospital beds and care homes, there is a preference for single bed sheets, but any will do as they can be cut in half for narrow beds and cots. Curtains of any size will also be useful to help insulate the wards in winter. KNITTERS ~ Please get out your needles to create winter woollies. With winter approaching in the northern hemisphere there is a special need for warm clothing. Secondhand woollens, thermal items, socks and men’s jackets are gratefully accepted providing they have been laundered and are in good condition.

Heartland Fairlie welcomes new volunteers! Anne and Annie have now joined the ranks of the great volunteer staff here with us at Heartlands. You may think we are trying for all staff to be called Anne. It would be easier for us older ones to remember I think! Anne T Let Phillipa know if you’d be interested in taking a holiday in Nepal which, if it appeals, could include doing some voluntary work, either on a building programme or at one of the hospitals. If your knowledge of leprosy is a bit sketchy, she can fill in the blanks and put your mind at rest. All the patients in the homes and hospitals are completely cured, but undergoing remedial treatment and/or surgery to correct disfigurement.
