College kids dig deep for Longest Day
T
wenty-four hours with just four hours
sleep, the CACTUS Longest Day was a
true test of 25 kids from Ruapehu College last week.
The Combined Adolescent Challenge Training Unit and Support programme or CACTUS,
is designed to extend a young person’s mind and
physical capability, with a focus on teamwork,
goal setting, leadership and discipline.
Aiming to help instil discipline and self-esteem
into young people, course leader Senior Constable Lane Demchy and his team of volunteers
from the Police, College and NZ Army encourage their young charges to look and listen before
they act and increasing their future opportunities.
Over the last 10 weeks, students have been hitting their boot camp style training three days a
week, but nothing could prepare them for the notorious Longest Day. At 3pm on Friday the happy
troupe headed off to the Army base in Waiouru
full of energy and smiles as they settled into their
accommodation and went to the pool for a challenge session.
As if to lull the students into a false sense of
security, the happy series exercises continued
throughout the evening with bedtime declared at
10.30pm.
Anyone who chose to ignore the advice of
staff and talk through into the night were rudely
awakened to the sound of Eye of the Tiger being
blasted out of the stereo with a 3am reveille.
After clearing out the sleeping quarters and
warming up in the gym, the intensity of the challenges lifted suddenly with a sprinting beep test
and push-ups.

Skate bowl dig done
Sods have been turned on the land next to the old
tennis courts in Jubilee Park, Ohakune – the first ground
works for a new skate bowl.
Volunteer Allan Whale used his machine to dig a
drainage trench for the bowl.
The plan is to build a kidney-shaped bowl suitable for
intermediate to advanced skaters to replace the half pipe
that was removed some time ago.
The half-pipe had been popular until it fell into
disrepair. It was decided that repairs would be too
expensive and that it would be better to put effort into a
new facility. Being shaded by trees was also a problem as
it was often unusable when wet.
The plan received unanimous support from Ruapehu
District councillors when the project was proposed in
2014.
The RDC agreed that $11,000 from the old Ohakune
Borough Council reserves fund was earmarked to
Allan Whale finishes off digging a drain for the new Ohakune skate

bowl.

Ohakune Events Charitable Trust.
The design copies a popular and successful bowl built
in Skorping in Denmark and is 11 metres long by seven
metres wide, 1.8m deep.
Project promoter Michael “Harry” Harallambi said
they hope to have the bowl finished in about eight weeks,
weather dependant.
He said the project would have a $50,000 to $70,000
budget, but they have a huge amount of support from the
community.
The main builder – donating his time – is Mike
Spittlehouse, with more help from ‘Rabbit’ Nottage,
Kelly O’Brien and Alan Whale with earthworks and
drainage.
Mr Harallambi said Kaake Paul, Jason Paul and
Vernon McLeod did the dirty work with scrub clearing
and rubbish removal before work started.
He said Placemakers have donated materials and

Green cash
up for grabs
Money to support environmental initiatives is being offered by the regional
council, from a budget of $20,000.
Horizons Regional Council’s grants are for community groups, schools, early
childcare centres and iwi/hapū, with not-for-profit projects designed to enhance
the Region’s natural environment.
Horizons chairman Bruce Gordon says applications will be assessed on
environmental benefits, feasibility, community involvement and long-term
benefits.
“In the past we have granted funding to a range of projects such as sand dune
stabilisation, native tree planting, wetland preservation and trapping to protect
endangered species,” says Mr Gordon.
“More often than not we help groups that simply need a little funding to get
their projects underway. It’s really satisfying to provide this support and we can
also supply expert advice where possible.”
Mr Gordon says applications that provide opportunities for the public to learn
more about the environment and encourage greater use of the Region’s facilities
and amenities will be considered favourably.
“We receive frequent proposals for beautification planting, vegetable gardens
and edible forests. While these are great ideas, they don’t focus on engagement
with the natural environmental aspect of the programme, so we ask that applicants
have a decent read of the grant guidelines.”
Last year Horizons funded 13 projects.
The closing date for applications is 5pm Friday 13 May. For further information
visit www.horizons.govt.nz or phone Horizons on 0508-800-800.
Helicopter rescue for farmer
A Waimarino farmer was airlifted from his property after he broke his leg.
An elderly Ohakune woman with a medical condition
was airlifted to Whanganui Hospital on Wednesday 13
April in the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter.
Later at around mid-night the helicopter assisted Police
with a search for missing tourists on the Whanganui
River.
On Friday a Waimarino farmer who suffered a serious
leg injury in a fall was flown to Whanganui Hospital.
That evening a Lower Hutt man suffering a serious
medical condition was airlifted to Palmerston North
Hospital with the crew using night vision Goggles to
complete the mission.

provided others at cost; Byfords have agreed to
supply the concrete at cost; Dan and Annie Rolls and
Ohakune New World, who helped with the planning and
presentation to council, will also provide food and drink
for the volunteers.
Mr Harallambi said there were many other contributors
that he’d like to thank once the project is done.
Asked about the existing concrete skate facility, he
said it was almost useless.
The original plans for that facility were scaled down
to fit the budget at the time and it was of no use to
intermediate and advanced skaters and only of limited
appeal to some scooter riders.
Mr Harallambi said there was a regular section in skate
magazines highlighting the worst skate facilities. He said
X-Games skaters who had seen the old facility said it was
the worst they had seen in the world.
After this first stage is completed, the group hopes to
add more features and possibly a sound shell and, later,
barbecues and picnic tables.
“We want to make it a family friendly park,” said Mr
Harallambi.

New Whakapapa chairlift top station takes shape
The return station for the new quad chairlift from the base of the Whakapapa Ski Area takes shape last week, with the components of the structure craned into place.
The station is at Hut Flat on the field. Because of the location of the new lift, the crane was able to be driven up to the site. Helicopters are usually needed for lifts
construction on Mt Ruapehu because of access restrictions. Helicopters will be used to fly towers into place. Photos supplied.
Waireka information National Park’s good neighbours
gathering starts
The Project Waireka Implementation
Team has started collecting household
participation data as part of the planning
for the installation of water filtration
units in Raetihi homes affected by the
September 2013 diesel spill.
The Implementation Team has been
door knocking asking who wants to take
part, gathering acceptance forms and
identifying any potential issues.
Householders are asked to confirm
that they understand that all on-going
maintenance and other costs are the
household’s responsibility.
People living in rented accommodation
who want to take part also need to obtain
a signed declaration from their landlord
confirm that they are happy for filter to be
installed in their property.
Waiouru Waimarino Community Board
chairman John Compton, who is on the
committee overseeing the project, told
Board members at their last meeting that
people need to realise that the process is
important.
“There is accountability for public
spending so it has to be above board.”
Implementation Team chairperson
Missy Biddle said that this first stage of
the project has been going really well and
she wanted to thank everyone for their
participation and support of the project.
“We have had a team of eight people
going door-to-door around Raetihi since
last Friday,” she said.
Households wanting to take part need
to get their completed information and
declaration form in by Friday 22 April.
Forms are at the Raetihi council office
or from www.ruapehudc.govt.nz, or call
Missy Biddle on 022 132 6960.
People who don’t want a visit from
the implementation team can drop their
completed form into council’s Raetihi
office or post it to: Project Waireka,
Freepost 492, Ruapehu District Council,
Private Bag 1001, Taumarunui 3946.
Ms Biddle said it was important that
households wanting to take part complete
the required form by Friday 22 April to
allow the Implementation Team to prepare
the information for the next Governance
Team meeting on Wednesday 27 April.
“At this meeting we need to know the
total number of households that want to
take part and along with other details so
we can organise contractual arrangements
with suppliers.”
A group of National Park Village good neighbours spent Saturday morning painting the play
centre fence and doing gardening and car washing for some of their own “good neighbours”
who are sick at the moment and needed an extra hand. The group included National Park
School’s young leaders, their principal Jane Welburn and Ruapehu District councillor Peter
Pehi. The effort was part of the Ruapehu District Council Good Neighbours Day. “I was very
proud of the children who volunteered the first morning and lie-in of their school holidays to
give back to the people who often help our school,” said Miss Welburn. “Future Focus is just a
natural part of who we are here and we are always looking for opportunities for the children to
be active participants in their community.”

Election promises
• It doesn’t surprise
me that Ruapehu District
Council spent over half
a million extending and
re-modelling the existing
Ohakune council office in
2006 and it now fails to
meet minimum earthquake
standards.
It is typical of the
incompetence I have
observed of RDC as a
ratepayer since 1995.
When
are
our
elected
councillors
and council employees
going to set aside their
own self interests and
give
ratepayers
the
opportunity
to
have
their say on whether we
should continue with the
current RDC or have the
opportunity to be part of
a region-wide entity that
could achieve real growth
and be a united voice
when lobbying Central
Government?
Don Cameron gave the
following
pre-election
promises nearly three
years ago. I thought it
made a lot of sense but has
he stood by his promises?

mayor Don
Cameron replies
• The results of the
proposals to amalgamate
Northland, Napier and
Hastings and the Waiarapa
Districts with Wellington
City were all soundly
defeated
when
they
were put to the public.
Since the failure of these
amalgamation proposals,
the issue has been taken
off the local government
agenda due to the costs,
huge divisions within
communities and the
questionable
benefits,
particularly for rural and
provincial councils.
The focus has shifted to
regional co-operation and
the sharing of services,
something that Ruapehu
has been at the forefront
of. Ruapehu is actively
involved in seeking the
benefits of regional cooperation through MW
LASS, which was created
in 2008 to provide a
platform
on
which
collaborative
projects
between the eight councils
in the Horizons Region
could be based.

led
the
consortium of ‘papa-belt’
councils in challenging
the NZ Transport Agency
proposal to drop our
Funding Assistance Rate
(FAR) all the way to a
meeting with the Minister
where we successfully
argued our case in support
of
the
government’s
Business Growth Agenda
and NZ Inc. Failure would
have meant Ruapehu
receiving a shrinking FAR
and our rates rising by
around 2% per year for the
next nine years for roading
alone.
Over this triennium we
have kept our rate rises
below our LTP predictions
and reduced our debt from
$30+ million to under $26
million while keeping
pace with infrastructure
renewals etc. This council
is in a financially sound
position and intends to
stay that way. We see
our neighbouring council
grappling with a waste
water system that has
failed and will cost their
ratepayers $18 million
to fix. Would Ruapehu
ratepayers be happy to
contribute?

the writer quotes I put
forward as part of my preelection proposals have
all been achieved through
the Manawatu-Whanganui
Regional Growth Study
and its progression into
the Regional Action Plan
under the Accelerate25
banner.
Council
has
been
actively involved in four
of the eight significant
opportunities highlighted
by the study for enhancing
regional
prosperity
being: tourism and visitor
services; manuka honey;
fresh vegetable production
and sheep and beef
farming. We are currently
poised to unlock millions
in
government
coinvestment opportunities
similar to when we
invested $60,000 in the
cycle ways to unlock $6.5
million of new government
investment.
Our ability to lobby
government and achieve
favourable outcomes for
Ruapehu is in no way
diminished by our size. In
fact, because of our size
we are closely connected
with our communities and
are able to champion their
concerns at the highest
level.

i-Sites check out the Villages
Tourism was top of the table for an information
exchange hosted by the National Park Village Business
Association last week.
Staff from the Ohakune and Taumarunui i-Sites
were there to explain the i-Site network and booking
system and to share information about the range of
accommodation and activities that National Park Village
has to offer.
The evening was opened by Stacey Faire, from My
Kiwi Adventure.
“This is the start of a longer conversation between
business owners and i-Site staff,” she said, also
encouraging providers to contact i-Site staff to build on
this networking opportunity.
Kim Treen, manager of Ruapehu’s i-Sites said her
staff are all Qualmark trained and can tap into i-Sites
around the country to promote National Park Village.
Operators and i-Site staff shared product knowledge
of accommodation and activities such as: guided stand
up paddle boarding tours, mountain biking, indoor
rock climbing, rafting the Tongariro River and quad
biking – activities that add to the experience for tourists
here to walk the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. They are
alternatives when the weather doesn’t behave.

One Plan change
to meet national
requirements
A ‘minor change’ is to be made to the One Plan to meet the requirements
of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management (NPSFM).
The change to the Horizons Regional Council plan is “largely an
administrative exercise” directed by government.
“It will not weaken the Council’s approach to freshwater standards in the
region,” says Horizons chief executive Michael McCartney.
He said inserting the policy acknowledges the minimum standards that
exist in the NPSFM, but that in many cases Horizons already has higher
standards in place for managing freshwater in the region.
“The foresight of the Council has meant that we already have high
quality standards within our plan and our plan is already operational. Those
standards are higher than the government is setting,” Mr McCartney said.
In practice, it means applicants, officers and commissioners will need to
consider the newly inserted policy in consent applications and decisionmaking. However, matters included in the policy are already being
considered during the consents process under the One Plan framework.
The change is scheduled to take effect in early May. Further advertising
will be carried out closer to the time and revised versions of the plan will
be made available.
Horizons is also seeking feedback from a range of stakeholder groups
including the agricultural and environmental sectors, district councils and
iwi on how the One Plan has been implemented to date. This feedback will
be reported back to the Council in August.
The purpose of the evaluation is to help Horizons understand how the
One Plan is bedding in, any issues with implementation, and areas of the
Plan that may require attention in future.
it has an amazing variety of things to do no matter what
the weather conditions”.
He gave examples of recent collaboration with other
activity operators and accommodation providers and
challenged everyone to the same.
“This way we can build great itineraries for our
tourists that will encourage them to stay that extra
night.”
Other presenters were Anna Whitehead from National
Park Backpackers and indoor rock-climbing facilities;
Sarah Cate from Adventure Outdoors; Karl and
Maria from Ruapehu Adventure Rides, Quad Biking

Ruapehu gases monitored
The GNS Science team linked to the GeoNet
monitoring team plans to make airborne measurements
about once a month for sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide
and hydrogen sulphide outputs from active volcanoes
including Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe.
GeoNet reported that warm humid conditions this
summer provided a challenge. However, recently
the team made successful flights over Ruapehu and
Ngauruhoe as well as White Island.
The gas output hasn’t changed much from any of the
volcanoes.
GeoNet’s Brad Scott said conditions were really good
Where to dine in the Ruapehu District
at Ruapehu and very good data was obtained.
There was slight increase in the gas output. However
this was well within the usual range. The Crater Lake
appeared a light grey colour, calm with no convection
or up welling.
At the time the lake temperature was 23ºC. The
good conditions also allowed for data to be collected at
Ngauruhoe, where the gas output was low so if it’s windy
or turbulent “we often cannot obtain a result.”
The carbon dioxide (CO2) value shows an increase
but GNS Science attributed this mostly to the good
conditions.

The Project Waireka Implementation Team is going door-to-door around Raetihi to ascertain exactly
who wants to take part and getting those that do to complete a form that will assist with scoping the
project and identifying any potential issues.
This first stage of confirming exact numbers and household data needs to be completed by this Friday
22 April to allow the Implementation Team to prepare the information for the next Governance Team
meeting on Wednesday 27 April.
Households that want to take part must complete and
return the information form by this Friday 22 April

future of so many
Lest we
forget
Encouraging safe and responsible hunting is the aim of work going on
involving the Department of Conservation, New Zealand Police, Central King
Country Deerstalkers Association and the Ruapehu District Council.
Responding to on-going illegal hunting activity, including poaching,
concerned locals approached DOC and others to form the Ruapehu Rural
Watch (RRW) Group, whose goal is to reduce the incidence of illegal hunting
in Ruapehu.
Initiatives led by RRW include compliance patrols during the ‘roar’, better
signage to indicate boundaries between public and private land, and establishing
effective communication channels to report illegal hunting activity.
Ruapehu District Council regulation manager Steve Costello said Council
fully supported the Department’s approach in encouraging safe and responsible
hunting.
“Ruapehu has seen a significant increase in the number of tourists and visitors
coming into the district with many of them coming here to enjoy our forests and
bush areas.”
“With increasing numbers of people using public conservation land, hunters
need to take extra care obeying all safety rules including not shooting from
vehicle or off roadways.”
“Hunters found to be disregarding gun safety rules can expect to face
enforcement action.”
For conservation land, each person in a hunting party must have their own
DOC permit and a valid New Zealand firearms licence is also required.
A DOC dog permit and all hunting dogs will need to be kiwi avoidance
trained.
Permits and information are available from the Ruapehu i-Site, the Tongariro
National Park Visitor Centre or online at doc.govt.nz/hunting-permit. Permits
are free.
“DOC actively encourages legal and responsible hunting in the Ruapehu area.
Ruapehu Rural Watch has been established to support both local landowners
and hunters to address any concerns existing between the two groups,” said
DOC operations manager Bhrent Guy.
Excellent hunting opportunities exist in Ruapehu to hunt pigs and goats as well
as red, sika and fallow deer. Hunting locations include the Erua Conservation
Area, the Tongariro National Park, the Tongariro Forest Conservation Area and
Rangataua Conservation Area.
Conditions
• It is prohibited to: discharge a firearm during the hours of darkness (½
hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise); use spotlights, torches, vehicle
headlights, or any other artificial light source or use night vision equipment,
infra red and heat detecting devices.
• Hunters shall not discharge firearms in the vicinity of huts, tracks, campsites,
road-ends or other public places, within 500m of a Great Walk hut or track, in
a manner that endangers, frightens or annoys members of the public or in a
manner that endangers any property.
• A permit does not give right of access over any private land. Permission to
cross any private land must be obtained from the owner or occupier.

Carrot park paths
progressing
The concrete accessibility path is getting ever-closer to the Big Carrot park, with
another concrete pour recently (pictured).
The path is being part-funded by the Ruapehu District Council with money provided
by the Government to help provide paths that can be used by people in wheelchairs.
“The work completed by Ohakune 2000 has been exceptionally well received by
residents and visitors alike,” Waiouru Waimarino Community Board members were
told at their last meeting.
“Rochfort Park is becoming an attraction for passing motorists, visitors to the District
and the local community walking through the park.”
Board members were told that there is no further financial commitment from Council
for the project at present.
The new path will carry on towards the Carrot with a boardwalk over a low-lying
area that is susceptible to flooding, then wind its way amongst playground equipment,
some already installed and some still to come, to link up with the boardwalk around
the Carrot.
The project is part of a wider plan to upgrade Rochfort Park in partnership with
Ohakune 2000 Incorporated and the Ohakune Growers.
As well as the Accessibility Walkway funds, Ohakune 2000 has been selling named
bricks to fund the work, as well as campaigning for contributions from other sources
such as the growers.
So far, $224,000 has been gathered in cash, in-kind labour and donated materials.
Dave Scott is the key driver for the Rochfort Park upgrade.
He said the plan includes redeveloping the track that crosses the small concrete
bridge near the site of the recent work. The track loops back to Ohakune Raetihi Road,
along the northern side of the Mangateitei Stream.
Dog mug shots help
with the rules
How do photos of dogs help the
local council staff? That question was
answered at the Waiouru Waimarino
Community Board’s April meeting,
when regulations officer Steve Costelloe
outlined the reasons for the initiative.
Mr Costelloe explained that the photos
help with dealing with problem dogs, by
helping identify ones that are an issue.
Dogs can be classified as “dangerous”
or “menacing”.
He said problems with dogs are usually
down to “deed or breed”.
Individual dogs classified as dangerous
are usually as a result of “deed”.
Dogs classified as menacing are
because of deed or breed, for example
Argentinian dogo, and also type, such as
American pit bull.
Mr Costelloe said some people have
realised that dogs classified as menacing
have a number of extra conditions
imposed, so have registered their dogs
under a different breed or type, such
as “Labrador cross”, to avoid the extra
conditions.
Council requires people to make a
declaration when they register and also
now supply a photo, which allows the
Council to check that the dog matches
the breed or type.
He said some people have tried to get
around this by choosing not to supply a
photo but that “flags to us to go around
and check”.
The other way the photos help is with
dealing with roaming dogs.
The photos are matched to the property
on the council’s mapping system so if
someone reports a roaming dog, with a
description, the officer can match it to
dogs from that area.
But it also helps with ruling out
incorrectly identified dogs.
“It gives us tools to better serve the
community.”
Prosecutions
The Board heard that they have
changed their system of prosecuting
errant dog owners.
Previously, for example, in three years
RDC took three prosecutions to court at
an average of $7000, but fines were only
$200-$300.
Now, prosecutions are handled inhouse so costs are in staff time only.
Court filing fees of $130 each have
now been refunded as RDC should not
have been charged.
Since then, RDC has had 14 or 15
successful prosecutions and lost just two
cases, evenly spread around the district.
Mr Costelloe said a successful
prosecution enables RDC to ban the
person from owning dogs.
Mr Costelloe said there had been a
“perpetual increase in the number of dog
attacks.
“We’ve got to do something.”

Ohakune Primary School sent 24 competitors to Hunterville Elite Athletics on Friday.
After two postponements due to wet weather, the team were keen to get down there
and represent Ruapehu. The team travelled down by bus and were in high spirits.
The team’s best result came with Cameron Artz winning the senior boys high jump
and Korbyn Garland winning the senior girls 1500m. Jonny Taylor came 2nd in the
senior boys shot put, Ara Porter came 2nd in the senior girls sprints and Brooke Flower
finishing 3rd in the senior girls 1500m.
The team were very supportive of each other and proudly represented the school and

Feasting time for kereru
Autumn is a favourite
time of year for native
wood pigeon, the kereru,
as they are able to feast on
their favourite food, miro
berries.
During autumn kererū
are seen in flocks feeding
on the berries in local
places around the Ruapehu
District such as Rangi
Scenic Reserve, Motutara
Scenic Reserve and Te
Marie Bluff and track.
“I really enjoy seeing the
kererū gathered together at
this time of year to feed
on the miro berries,” says
Taumarunui DOC ranger
Peter Rihia.
“It is a great sight to see
them swooping above the
miro trees then hear them
come crashing into the
trees for a feed.”
Mr Rihia says kererū
have particular importance
to New Zealand’s forests.
“Our native pigeon is an
important seed disperser
with a bill big enough to
swallow large fruit such
as those of miro, tawa
and karaka. Fruit is its
favourite food and these
trees and others depend
on the kererū to carry
their seeds to new areas
of forest. If the kererū is
under threat, so too are our
native trees.”
Kererū are widespread
in areas with large areas
Wood pidgeon are out and about feeding on native tree berries such as
miro.
of forest, but nationally
their numbers are in
decline through habitat
loss, predation and illegal
hunting. Kererū are slow
breeders and raise just one
chick a year. While the
lifespan of a kererū can
be around 20 years, most
survive to just 5-6 years
of age.
“What
is
most
concerning is the reports
we receive each year of
people hunting kererū in
our local reserves,” says
Mr Rihia.
“This year we are
encouraging
local
landowners
and
the
community to be vigilant
in reporting suspicious
behaviour
regarding
kererū hunting.”
Under the Wildlife
Act it is an offence to
hunt or kill a kererū. The
penalties in relation to
protected wildlife are up
to six months jail or up to
$100,000 fine plus up to an
extra $5000 for each extra
bird.
It is also an offence
to carry shotguns or .22
calibre rifles on public
conservation land, as
these are the firearms most
commonly used for illegal
hunting. Anyone who
suspects such activities
or find evidence of illegal
hunting of kererū are asked
to phone 0800 DOCHOT
(0800 362 468).

Power trustees chosen
A new trustee for the King Country Electric Power
Trust has been appointed, joining a returning trustee and
replacing another.
Adrian ‘Adie’ Doyle replaces Norman Annand after
the recent election of trustees that closed on Friday and
Graeme Selwyn Cosford returns as a trustee.
Final results were: Norman Annand 1090 votes; Grae-
me Selwyn Cosford 1140; Adrian (Adie) Doyle 1099.
There were three informal votes and two blank votes
returned. A final voter turnout was 17.79%.
As the Deed of Trust requires that at least one trustee
is elected from the Taumarunui area and at least one from
the Ohakune area, Uwe Kroll was declared an elected
trustee to represent the Ohakune area on 18 January.

Draft Exceptions Annual Plan 2016-2017
Ruapehu District Council is proposing that we invest in economic development and our community facilities in Ohakune. This would
entail putting more money into tourism including the unlocking of central government co-investment opportunities through the
Accelerate25 regional growth programme, increasing digital enablement and developing the Ohakune Service Centre.
Submissions close this Friday 22 April
Council would like your feedback on these proposals or any other of Council’s activities or life in Ruapehu. Submissions can be supported with
a presentation to Council if your wish. Making a submission is easy and can be in writing via post or fax, on-line or verbally during the hearings
process. See www.ruapehudc.govt.nz or call Pauline Welsh or Rebecca Bell at Council on 06 385 8364 or 07 895 8188.

Following a quick rest
and rehydration the teams
of Alpha, Bravo and Charlie hit the day hard.
Following a jerry can
water resupply and tyre
puzzle challenge, each
team where tasked with
transporting a large power
pole up an at times narrow
Tank Hill track in the dark.
As if the students had undergone a complete personality change the only noise
to be heard was team members encouraging each other
not to give up.
Back at base it was
off to the Army assault
course – not one that had
been set up specially for
the students, but the very
one used by soldiers for
training.
For some the physical tiredness was starting
to set in and the mental
toughness from the previous ten-weeks training
saw team members step
up and help their friends
complete the adult sized
challenge.
After a quick breakfast
at the College the teams
were transported to the
Ohakune Old Coach Road
where they had to work together to transport a rope,
plank and full jerry can
from Horopito to Marshalls Road while completing mental brain teasers along the way.

It has been an epic term with the CACTUS programme
(Combined Adolescent Challenge Training Unit and
Support).
The “longest day” was on Friday with students staying
out at Waiouru and being woken at 3am to head out into
the darkness.
During the day they had to complete various activities
– an Army assault course; problem solving activities
such as a water supply task; racing up Tank Hill carrying
poles; various activities on the Ohakune Old Coach
Road, playing a game of fire hose soccer and, finally,
pulling a fire engine up Arawa and Shannon Streets to
the College where their efforts ended at 3pm.
The day ended at the Officer’s Mess in Waiouru with
a formal diner and prize giving, to acknowledge the
student participants.
It was also a time to thank the organisers, volunteers
and all the community who had been involved in the
CACTUS programme.
End of term
It was a busy end of term for Ruapehu College as
students completed assessments and various activities
came to an end. Term One has had an environmental
focus with students very much in the great outdoors with
CACTUS, Kiwi Forever, outdoor assessments, athletics
and swimming.
The College is preparing for a cultural focus for Term
Two as they head into the cultural events such as Manu
Korero and the ever-popular inter-whanua kapahaka
competition.
There are a number of sports taking priority including
rugby with a Whanganui competition this year.
The Duke of Edinburgh programme will be on-going
and the school hopes to start a school drama and music
production.
In addition, NCEA internal assessments come to the
fore with exams being a focus for Term Three and Four.
There are many courses available at the College in
Term 2 including a first aid and chainsaw course.
Rock module
Ruapehu College’s outdoor class have been working
on a rock climbing module, where students headed to a
site called Middle Earth in Mangatepopo Valley at the
base of Mt Ngauruhoe.

Children learn about ANZAC Heroes
A
ccomplished children’s author Maria
Gill shared stories of ANZAC men
and women of WWI and WWII when
she officially launched her latest book ANZAC
Heroes at the National Army Museum last week.
Over 100 school children from Waiouru and
Ohakune Primary Schools and Tokoroa Intermediate were treated to a workshop session with
Maria and illustrator Marco Ivancic, which included stories of New Zealand’s ANZAC heroes,
research methods and the use of photos as a reference for art.
“We are delighted to have an author of Maria’s
calibre here,” said Museum marketing manager
Nicola Bennett.
“The Museum has assisted with the provision
of some of the photographs in this wonderful
book and it is fitting that it be launched here so
close to ANZAC Day.”
Maria has travelled the country giving author
talks and this is the start of a series of ANZAC
Hero talks planned to children across the country.
“I want to get the message across that these soldiers thought they were going on a big adventure
but that was far from the truth. They had to face a
lot of hardship and it was quite an achievement to
make it home,” said Maria.
Ohakune teacher Alison Whale said it was “fantastic for the children to meet the actual author and
illustrator and learn about their craft first hand”.
ANZAC Heroes gives children an overview of
the two World Wars and takes them on a journey
with some of the heroes, focusing on the triumphs
and tragedies of 30 heroic Australians. The book
is well supported with detailed maps, timelines
and charts as well as stunning life-like illustrations and historical photos.
Maria, a former school teacher, has written 45
children’s books receiving accolades including
seven Storylines Notables and has been shortlisted for six LIANZA Elsie Locke Awards and
two New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards.
This is the second book Marco and Maria have
collaborated on. The first, New Zealand Sports
Hall of Fame, was a 2015 Storylines Notable
Book and was shortlisted for the 2015 LIANZA
Elsie Locke Non-Fiction Award.

Ohakune and Raetihi tree work approved
The latest round of maintenance work on
trees on public-owned land was approved by
the Waiouru Waimarino Community Board on
Thursday.
The trees, all on Council-owned land, range
from weed seedlings such as wattles and
honeysuckle to dead kowhai, pittosporum, beech,
cherry and conifers, in various sites around
Ohakune and Raetihi.

down from the previous $30,000.
The Board was advised that the tree work is
completed by the parks and reserves contractor
for trees that are in decline, dead, or where a tree
may have become a problem due to location or
size.
Trees that have grown too close to power lines
are also programmed for maintenance or removal.
“To minimise the ongoing and long term costs
of maintenance, often the decision is made to fell
such a tree, unless it has a high amenity or historic
value,” property officer Margaret Hawthorne told
the Board.
Council will consider replanting where trees
have been removed, with “appropriate species,
size and location being considered”, under the
same budget.

She said the trees are a problem for the club
and that the walkway group had been approached
and supported the removal.
Mrs Hawthorne said the trees have suckered
badly, affecting other planting the group has done
as well as neighbouring land.
She said she would be approaching local
service clubs to see if they want the trees for
firewood for local pensioners.

helicopter. It was decided
by Ruapehu management
after talking to the players
to call the game a draw.
It was pleasing to see
a new young and skilled
referee in Aaron Conlon –
whose grandfather was at
one time living in Raetihi
– controlling the senior
game. It was impressive
to see his instant reaction
upon recognising the
serious injury.

game. They didn’t start
well, not getting up on
defence, tackling too high,
and players often running
away from support.
After
some
good
communication, Ruapehu
started the second half
well,
making
better
tackles, which prevented
Utiku from adding any
points to their score.
Roman Tutauha, back
after surgery, and Jamie
Hughes were inspiring
with their skilled play.
Roman’s superior fitness
is a fine example for rugby
and he used that fitness to
good effect.
The electrifying pace
of Jamie Hughes when
he took the ball allowed
him to rip through the
Utiku defence and put the
Ruapehu team on the front
foot.
He
complemented
Roman and these two
stood out on the day.
