Senior Constable Thomas Taylor’s current role as community constable at Balclutha will be disestablished, if a restructuring proposal is adopted.

Balclutha may lose local constable
Balclutha
could
lose
its
community constable, if a proposal to disestablish the role goes
ahead, in a Otago police
restructure.
New Zealand Police Otago
Coastal Area Commander Jason
Guthrie confirmed in a media
statement on Monday that police
were currently considering
submissions regarding a proposed
‘‘realignment of part of the Otago
Coastal Policing Area’’.
Under the proposal, Balclutha
would receive an extra sergeant
position and the current community constable position would
be disestablished to create an
additional public safety team constable position, he said.
Sergeant Martin Bull, of Balclutha, confirmed that this would
affect Senior Constable Thomas
Taylor’s current role as community constable, if the proposal
went ahead.
Sergeant Martin Bull was
unable to comment in full about
the proposal to disestablish Taylor’s position, but said that the
change had ‘‘nothing to do with
performance’’ and was more
about a move to provide more
officers in other areas, such as
emergency response.
Taylor said he was feeling
uneasy about the proposed
move.
‘‘I’m feeling a bit ticked-off, and
powerless to do anything to stop
them shuffling me off.’’
He believed his options would
include relieving, general duties
and traffic.
Taylor, 63, has been the Balclutha community constable for
eight years. His has been based at
Balclutha for his entire 19-year
service with New Zealand Police.
‘‘I don’t see myself as a high
profile police officer. My work has
always been community-based.’’
His main concern was who
would be looking after the roles
he had been fulfilling as an
alcohol harm reduction officer, in
Neighbourhood Support, iwi, Telford Campus – Lincoln University
liaison, and community patrol.
Clutha District Mayor Bryan
Cadogan said Taylor was the
‘‘interface between police and
community’’.
‘‘He’s the go-to policeman and
New Zealand Made Fine Furniture
he’s seen as a real success.
Disestablishing his role so he can
go to traffic might work in Dunedin, but it won’t work here.
‘‘Tom walks the beat and deals
with the issues.’’
Cadogan also said Taylor had
made big inroads in community
policing in a huge, sparsely
populated district.
‘‘If we lose that face, all that
would be gone.
Taylor’s role was not the only
one to be affected, according to the
Otago police media statement. It
was proposed that the current
uniformed attachment to the
Combined Investigation Unit be
disestablished to create an
additional detective position in
Balclutha.
‘‘It is considered the proposed
changes will position local police
to take a more coordinated
approach to prevention activity
around family violence and
alcohol issues whilst at the same
time enhancing flexibility and
service delivery around response
and investigative work,’’ Guthrie
said.
These proposed changes ‘‘are
very much about enhancing service delivery to the wider Balclutha Community and keeping
the people of Clutha safe’’, Guthrie said.
Under the proposal, no stations
would close and the Clutha subarea would increase in strength
by one position, he said.
A final decision on the proposal was expected to be released
within the next two weeks.

FROM
THE
NEWS
DESK
There was a bit of confusion
following our Anzac April 21
edition.
The double-page spread
referred to 100 years of Anzac –
The Spirit Lives: 2014 – 2018.
Those years cover the centenary
period of WWI, which was fought
from July 28, 1914, to November
11, 1918.
Now of course, last year in
2015, we commemorated the 100th
anniversary of Anzac, the
acronym for Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps. This corps,
made up of the Australian
Imperial Force and New Zealand
Expeditionary Force, was created
early in the war.
The ‘‘Anzacs’’ first saw action
at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915, and
that’s the anniversary that we
recognise and mark every year.
What can be confusing is that
‘‘Anzacs’’ became the word used
to describe all Australian and
New Zealand soldiers who fought
on the Gallipoli Peninsula, and it
has come to mean any Australian
or New Zealand soldier in other
campaigns, including WWII.
Hope that clears it up.

The Clutha United Swimming
Club has received a $4000 grant
from the Otago Community Trust.
The grant will help the
Balclutha-based South Otago club
purchase an underwater camera
system, to assist members’ development by recording swimmers
in the water.
Sourced from Australia, it’s
called the SwimPro and includes
four
mountable
cameras,
recorder, software package and
bag.
A television for viewing playback has already been purchased.
It means the club will be able to
record swimmers in the water,
then view the recording at the
pool deck, so that all members
will develop strong technique,
right from the little ones gaining
water confidence to the more
advanced swimmers.
Founded in 1994, the club has
72 swimmers from a pool of 40
families, 10 committee members
and 14 coaches.
They travel throughout South
Otago
including
Lawrence,
Clinton, Owaka and Milton.
The competitive squad is

Clutha Valley Primary School’s
recipe book is in its second print
run, after a sell-out success last
December.
A new shipment of A Taste of
the Valley arrived last Friday at
the Clydevale school in South
Otago, much to the excitement of
fundraising team members,
Karen Tunnah and Renee Judson,
who were on hand to help unload
the pellets containing the 2000
books.
The hardcover book, which
first went on sale in late October
last year, has about 200 recipes
contributed by locals and celebrity cooks and chefs. As well as
recipes, its 376 pages also contain
stunning local rural scenery and
photographs of the school’s 110
pupils.
More than 800 books pre-sold
before the official launch in
November. Books went all over
New Zealand, to Australia, Hong
Kong, Denmark, USA and
Thailand to name but a few International destinations.
‘‘We knew it was a great book
but we didn’t think it would sell
out in six weeks,’’ Judson said.
A massive number of sales
came through social media marketing, with people desperate to
get their hands on a copy; so
began a list of people who wanted
books from the second print run,
she said.

likened to the quality and calibre

A perfect marriage of twin
desires brought Sarah Cunningham and Byron Howard to
Clinton – to a church.
The
ex-Auckland
couple
bought the former Catholic
Church St Leo’s two years ago and
plan to turn it into a cafe and tourist stop.
Byron, who now works for a
vintage restorer at Tapanui, was
working for Google maps, travelling New Zealand while shooting
street views. He kept seeing historic buildings in the North Island
– none of which they could afford.
Sarah, who is Balclutha H&J
Smith’s new manager, said they
bought the church sight unseen
after seeing it for sale on the
internet.
What happened next to the 30
year-olds will seem even more farfetch. Byron had never been south
before.
Sarah had one cousin in the

the pleasant shock,

Byron Howard
South Island, but apart from that,
neither of them had any southern
connections.
Sarah: We’d kept buying the
place a secret from our family. No
one knew about it. We decided to
move here and then we told them.
Byron: When she heard the big
news, I got a call from my aunt.
She said. ‘‘You don’t know this,
but Clinton is where your heritage started’’. This is from the
Melrose side of the family, my
mother’s maiden name.
Sarah: It was incredible! And
we can see traces of the family in
Clinton, Wairuna and Waipahi,
including owning the old
butcher’s in Waipahi.
Byron: Once we’d got over the
pleasant shock, other odd little
connections kept popping up.
Like, the farm where we got temporary work at Wairuna (Sarah
rearing calves and Byron
milking) and where we rented a
house. We were told by owner
that it overlooked what had been
Melrose land. We couldn’t believe
it.
Sarah: We’re going to be using
recycled timber in our church
that came from the old Wairuna
Hall which is being dismantled,
where Byron’s ancestors would
have danced in the old days. It
gave us the strong feeling that this
was somehow all meant to be.
Byron: We’re not religious
people but we believe in good and
evil and we believe this place has
got some strong spiritual ju-ju. We
Enterprise
felt quite drawn to this area. My
aunt who is into all that, definitely believes it was something
spiritual that brought us here.
Sarah: I was born and spent
my early years in Hawke’s Bay
and spent my high school years in
Katikati. We moved to Auckland
when I was 18, where I went to uni
and did a Bachelor of Design
majoring in Interior Design and
had several jobs in retail.
Byron: Having come to the
place that my ancestors virtually
stepped off the boat from Scotland
to, has made our mission to reopen the church as a cafe more
meaningful. This project is something that we hope to have up and
running in the next 12-24 months,
which is very exciting for us but
something we need to plan well.

Hunt on for school’s giant pencils

Not to put too fine a point on it,
Balclutha Primary School wants
its pencils back.
Two of four 1.8 metre-high
pencils were stolen from the
Lanark Street school’s art

to police, but the giant red
and yellow pencils are still at
large.
Imagine pupils’ dismay

else and are quite expensive to

The dangers of offshore online shopping
T
he click of a mouse and a
letterbox is all you need to
do your shopping these days
– especially when you don’t feel
like heading out into the cold or
battling traffic.
Most New Zealand retailers
have an online offering that
allows you to click and buy from
the safety of the sofa while still
supporting local businesses.
There is also a high chance
you’ve headed online and overseas if you want to shop for things
that just aren’t available here.
But offshore online shopping
brings with it a few pitfalls that
many people aren’t aware of until
they are hit in the wallet. Here are
a few things to watch out for:
1. New Zealand is a million
miles away from anywhere so the
cost of shipping can be expensive.
Some online stores offer flat shipping rates, even free delivery.
Nevertheless, pay careful attention – the price might be cheaper
but extra shipping fees might
affect your credit card statement
significantly and quickly turn a
‘‘good buy’’ into a costly exercise.
2. Balance the pros and the
cons of online shopping versus
just going to a store. Some online
retailers ‘promise’ quick deliveries, however there’s still no
guarantee that your goods will
arrive on time. Other stores
charge more for speedier delivery
but that still might not meet your
time expectations. If your purchase is very time-dependent, just
go to the shop. It may cost you a
bit more, but it might just be
worth it.
3. Don’t think shopping offshore and online will automatically mean you bypass GST. You
could still get stung at the border.
Make sure you check the New
Zealand Customs Service website
to find out more about fees you
might be liable for before handing
over your credit card details. Not
also that the government is currently considering taxing even
small purchases such as music
downloaded from iTunes and
overseas Netflix memberships –
with murmurings that changes
could start taking place before
Christmas this year.
4. A common complaint about
online shopping is that what
replacement or reimbursement
for damaged goods could see you
jumping through all sorts of
hoops. The only way to guarantee
the condition of your purchase is
by picking it up from a store yourself.
6. Nipping into a physical store
and buying what you need when
you need it is always more
reliable than ordering it online.
Plus, you can feel good about supporting your local community
and the Kiwi economy.
❚ You can also buy and sell goods on

Filling your shopping trundler with the real deal could sometimes be a
safer bet than going offshore and online.

Clutha Valley beat the high flying Crescent 29-25 on Saturday,
taking home three trophies with
them, the John Cross Cup, the

Cup.
Crescent had the better of the
first half and Valley made
plenty of errors.
The Clutha Valley side
toughened up at half time and
provided a sublime second half
to clinch the win in stoppage
time.
Josh Botting was a stand out
for Valley, scoring two tries and
playing out of position in the
midfield. Cam Johnston put an
untidy first half behind him to
lead his troops well in the second half. Crescent inside backs

Toko bounced back from
their loss to Lawrence last week
with a sound 81-7 thrashing of
Owaka. Their big boys made
plenty of metres up the middle
and their backs looked good in
open space.
Toko number eight Josh Beer
showed his class, he ran well
and scored four tries, centre
Dylan Mathieson helped himself
to three. Dylan Greer played
well for Toko. Reuben Crossan
and Michael Berney were
Owaka’s best forwards and halfback Josh Scoles tackled well.
Lawrence
travelled
to
Clinton and took a bonus point
29-12 win away with them. Lawrence showed their class in the
first spell scoring three quick
tries and dominating the play.
Clinton was the better side in
the second half but couldn’t convert possession and territory
into enough points to take the
win. Craig McKenzie and Clayton Rowland stood out for the
Clinton side. Tim Dickie and
Daine Lowery were Lawrence’s
best.
Clutha beat Heriot 55-24 in
Clutha. Heriot sustained some
injuries and couldn’t match it
with the defending champions.
They dominated the scrums and
even scored a rare push over try
but Clutha had the edge in the
backline. Clutha first five Rhys
Harrold scored a hat trick of
tries
and
kicked
five
conversions
for
another
impressive individual points
haul. Tyler Haua and Max
Pennell impressed up front for
Clutha. Forwards Blair Young,
Max Buchanan and Tyson
Adams were Heriot’s best.
Much needed rest weekend

It looks like netball. It’s got most
of the same rules as netball.
You jump, but you can take
an extra step and hold the ball
longer. It’s called walking
netball.
Originating from the United
Kingdom, the low-impact version of netball has been recently
introduced to South Otago’s
Cross Recreation Centre at
Balclutha by manager Penny
Batchelor.
‘‘I haven’t found any other
references to it being tried in
New Zealand, but we wanted to
give it a six week trial at Balclutha, just to see how it goes.’’
The England Netball website
says Walking Netball evolved
from a growing demand for
walking sports.
It’s a slower version of the
game; it is netball, but at a walking pace, and you can hold the
ball for four seconds before
throwing it, and take an extra
step after receiving it.

Chatham Islands mayoral trip 2016
A trip to the Chatham
Islands was a long way to
go, and an unexpected
place to see Sir Graham
Henry in a pinny. But that’s
exactly what happened
when Clutha District Mayor
Bryan Cadogan went to the
Chatham Islands for a local
government pow-wow
recently. Mary-Jo Tohill
reports.
Rural decline, isolation, the
ongoing challenge of providing
basic services like sewage and
rubbish disposal:
Chatham Islanders face the
same issues as we do, but their
issues are magnified, Clutha
District Mayor Bryan Cadogan
says.
Fresh from a local government
zone meeting held in the
Chathams, he marvelled at the
innovation and resilience of the
people who live on this part of the
New Zealand Pacific archipelago,
840km east of Christchurch.
Cadogan also fulfilled a
promise to Chatham Islands
Mayor Alfred Preece. They got
their mayor’s ‘‘L-plates’’ at the
same time, when they first stood
for election six years ago.
‘‘He’s been saying, ‘‘when are
you coming over here?"’’
At last, ‘‘Alf’’ got his wish,
when representatives from 17
South Island councils converged
on the island and mingled with its
660 citizens.The Chathams is
mostly flat and grassy, like an
island version of the Canterbury
Clutha District Mayor Bryan Cadogan and Cr Ken Payne beside the Chatham Island’s distinctive basalt rock formations, during a local government zone meeting
last week.
PHOTO: BRYAN CADOGAN
Plains, but with eye-wateringly
beautiful beachs, Cadogan says.
‘It’s more Pacific Island than
Sub-Antarctic.’’
He and Cr Ken Payne were
hosted by former Clutha woman,
Kate Martin, a school teacher,
who has taught at the local Te One
School for three years.
They attended a community
function, where they were served
by two well-known rugby men –
in pinnies: Former All Black
coaches Sir Graham Henry and
Wayne Smith no less. Apparently
they were there on a trip and got
roped in to help by the locals.
‘‘They just happened to be
there together, and were helping
serve the food. It was a bit of a
laugh.’’
But there was plenty of serious
stuff in between. The Chatham
Islands Council is the smallest
local authority in New Zealand.
Waitangi Port in the township of
Cardholders’ Day
Waitangi, is the Chathams’
beating heart. Most freight comes
by ship and some by air.
‘‘If it wasn’t for the port and its
infrastructure it wouldn’t be able
to sustain its economy, and it
wouldn’t exist in today’s world.’’
Crayfish is its biggest export,
mostly to China. Mayor Cadogan
and Cr Payne had one of their
burning questions answered:
What do you do with rubbish on
an island?
Islanders place their refuse in
wool bale sacks. These get
compressed and placed in a
designated disposal area, on a
mat, on a gravel bed, and covered
in chipped gravel, to stop any
rubbish blowing around. While it
breaks down, the liquid seeps
through into a pit, which is
treated like sewage.
Cadogan described the trip as
10 times better than he could ever
imagined.
Sustainable Farming Fund success
TODAY
MARY-JO TOHILL
A Clutha District organisation
has won a small piece of the
New Zealand Government’s $6.9
million Sustainable Farming
Fund.
The Clutha Agricultural
Development Board was been
awarded a $7000 grant for a project that investigates the long
term advantages in giving probiotic supplements to neo-natal
calves.
Funding was given by the
Just in time for
Mother’s Day
Thursday 5 May
Open 9am-7pm
Minister for Primary Industries
to various projects around the
country. Clutha Agricultural
Development Board carried out
a trial on about 300 calves with
10 replications over three farms
in the spring of 2012.
Half the calves were fed a
fresh pro-biotic supplement and
half were a control group.
The aim is to go back to these
trial farms and collect relevant
data relating to weight, milk
yield, mortality and general
health, for up to four years after
the initial trial, to give scientists
some indications that may
prove worthy of further investigation.
This year’s funding includes
six projects in the horticulture
and dairy industries, three in
arable sector, two each in
meat and fibre, and one in
forestry.

On Tuesday, April 26, a
21-year old Balclutha woman,
with a suspended driver licence,
was stopped, her car was
impounded and she will appear
in court.
The next day, police attended
a verbal domestic incident in
the Clydevale area. All was calm
on their arrival and no further
action needed.
Three tourists on Mouats
Saddle Rd had a lucky escape on
Thursday when the 19-year-old
driver lost control on the gravel
surface and rolled the car they
were in.
Friday was busier, with two
search warrants being executed
resulting in two arrests. Police
at Lawrence attended a car

crash west of Waitahuna, when
the driver lost control of her car
at road-works. Both occupants
in the car suffered only minor
injuries.
And that afternoon, a shoplifter at Balclutha’s The Ware-
house was detected by staff. His
identity and that of his two
women accomplices are known
to Police. Finally that night, a
Queenstown driver returning
from Kaka Point, lost control of
their car on a tight bend
crashing through a barricade
and into a ditch. There were no
injuries reported.
Milton Police stopped and
processed a man for drinkdriving on Saturday, his breath
result was 355mcg and he was
forbidden to drive for 12 hours.
He received a $200 infringement
notice and 50 demerit points.
In the early hours of Sunday,
police attended a fighting and
disorderly behaviour job outside a local hotel. One man was
arrested at the time, and there is
likely to be follow-up on this
totally unnecessary behaviour.

Auckland, things are expensive and the lifestyle is faster

“When I first joined everyone was accepting and willing

Would you like to live on a cruise
ship? I’ve been reading about some
interesting research on
cruisedeals.co.uk, which claims it’s
cheaper to live day to day on a cruise
ship than to rent an apartment in
London.
According the Cruise Deals’
detailed calculations, it costs
AU$5279 (NZ$5765) a month to live in
London, figuring in average costs for
rent, food, local transport and
entertainment.
At the same time, a 120-day
round-the-world cruise on the
Arcadia, including stops in
Barbados, Los Angeles and Bora
Bora, costs AU$20,775, working out
at AU$162 per day, cheaper than the
per-day price to live in London.
These figures provide further
reason why grey nomads might be
tempted to pull up stumps and spend
their lives all at sea. Imagine how
varied and stimulating life would be
if you were constantly in different
ports, visiting different cultures and
never having to pack and unpack.
Maybe.
I was once on a cruise around
South America and met a couple
who did exactly the above. Mr and
Madame X, as I will call them, were
in their late 70s, obviously people of
means, and they spent all year
cruising. They didn’t live on that
ship year round, but changed cruises
according to season and what
interested them. They took threemonth and six-month stints,
Madame X said, although I was
never really sure if they had a base
home.
Madame X seemed to have a fine
life. She visited the ship’s hair salon
every morning to have her
extravagant beehive hairdo (very
Marge Simpson) washed and set. She
sat on the deck for long periods of
time and had waiters fuss over her.
Mr X was a bit of a grumpy sort and I
could see she needed the attention of
staff and craved conversation with
strangers. He was probably a
terrible grouch at home.
I assumed they were rich, but in
fact it may have been cheaper for
them to cruise round the world than
run a house in New York, where
they came from.
The next year, as I was boarding a
ship in Sydney’s Barangaroo for an
inspection, I saw the same couple get

off to go on a tour. You couldn’t
mistake her hair. He still looked
grumpy.
I’ve always wondered what it
would be like to live like this. The
advantages would be round the clock
service, the constant stimulation of
new ports and new people to meet,
and never having to make your bed,
clean your bathroom or cook dinner.
The disadvantages, I imagine,
would be claustrophobia, rough seas
if they bothered you, boredom with
the same meals and activities, a
sense of disconnection from your
family and friends onshore and no
continuity of treatment with doctors
and other professionals.
A few years ago I had lunch on
board The World, the world’s largest
privately owned yacht. It contains
165 residences, apartments that
range from studio size to three
bedroom. It’s effectively a floating
apartment building and run like a
co-op with residents making mutual
decisions on the ship’s ports for the
coming year.
The World is somewhat pricier
than an AU$162.78-a-day cruise on
the Arcadia but probably less than a
harbour-front apartment in Sydney.
Still, a life on the ocean waves,
without a home on terra firma,
might put me all at sea.

Chilling out
in the trees
ANNE Z. COOKE
My first clue that Huilo Huilo, in
central Chile, might not be your
typical wilderness park was when
I unfolded the tourist map and
spotted the word ‘‘canopy.’’ An
English word. Not one you’d
expect to find in a Spanish
dictionary. Nor a name you’d be
likely to see on a map of a rare
temperate rainforest, a
250,000-acre preserve in the
foothills of the Andes Mountains.
I looked again and found a
second ‘‘canopy,’’ and a third, as if
the map-maker tasked with
illustrating Huilo Huilo’s ‘‘green
mansions’’ decided that if one
canopy was good, three must be a
charm. So I poured another cup of
tea and took a closer look.
Huilo Huilo, a Unescodesignated biosphere, is a park
like Yellowstone or Glacier
national parks, a protected
biological reserve. But it’s also a
tourist resort, a for-profit
business. Here, on the border
between Patagonia and the Lakes
District, where the Mapuche tribe
once shared the trees with the
forest fairies — living spirits of
ferns and flowers, frogs and fungi
— eco-tourism is booming. If any
doubt remains, Huilo Huilo’s
tourist map, a ‘‘Where’s Waldo’’
visitor guide, proves the point.
Done up in comic book colours
and crowded with cartoon figures,
it’s chock-a-block with visitor
services, nature trails, ski slopes,
trout streams and hotels built to
blend into the undergrowth.
Here is the Reino Fungi Lodge,
the ‘‘Mushroom Queen,’’ a fat
round shape resting on a cement
stalk. There is the multi-sided
Nothofagus Hotel & Spa, also
known as the Baobob Hotel, with
a tree growing in the dining room,
guest room doors opening onto a
spiralling corridor and an
activities desk offering an infinite
array of outdoor adventures.
The Montana Magica hotel —
the Magic Mountain — connected
to the other hotels by a covered
boardwalk, was the owner’s first
experiment in rustic design; the
result is a moss-covered, coneshaped, tree-like building with
inset windows and a brook
spilling off the top. Made almost
entirely of custom-hewn local
wood, its giant logs, thick beams
and untrimmed board paneling
are a one-off work of art.
On one corner of the map, a
38-metre waterfall rushes over a
fractured rock; in another corner,
a pair of horseback riders canter
across a meadow. Forest trails,
the Rio Fuy and Lake Pirehueico
promote hiking, fishing,
kayaking, easy and risky
whitewater rafting, birding and
horseback riding.
At the map’s upper edge, an ice
climber scales 2421m Mocho
Choshuenco’s glacier while a
skier schusses down this active
volcano’s snowy slopes.
Miniature deer — the endangered
Andean ‘‘huemul’’ — and a puma,
Darwin frog and a clutch of longnecked guanaco — first cousins to
the llama — peek out from
between the trees.
On the volcano’s lower forests,
‘‘Canopy’’ zip lines mark the spot
where — as I was soon to discover
— five dizzyingly long cables
straddle deep dark gorges. ‘‘El
canopy, you know, it means rides
in the air,’’ said our guide Juan
Valencia, on my second day of
vacation, leading me and a
handful of other visitors to the zip
line’s check-in hut.
Buckling us into our
harnesses, he led the way up a
trail hacked into the hillside
where the cables were bolted into
rocks beside precariously perched
platforms — or so it seemed as I
teetered on the edge. As Jacob
Salgado, the second guide, clipped
me onto each cable, he reminded
me to lean back, straighten my
legs, point my feet and fly like the
wind. ‘‘Remember, it’s very long,’’
he said, prying my hand, locked
in a death grip, off the cable. ‘‘If
you brake like that you won’t get
to the other side.’’
The next ‘‘canopy’’ — a sign
pointing to the Darwin Trail
Intimate lodging and dining is the trademark of Nawelpi Lodge ( Puma Lodge), at Huilo Huilo, Chile.
around the village complex — was
tamer. Starting early, we joined
ecologist Diego Rojas, from the
Simon Bolivar University in
Santiago, for a half-day walk
around the perimeter. Diving into
the forest, we stopped beneath a
stand of giant beech trees to look
at the flora and to learn why Huilo
Huilo is classified as a rare
temperate rain forest.
The beech trees, said Rojas —
‘‘coihue’’ and ‘‘rauli,’’ in
Mapudungun, the native
Mapuche language — ‘‘are
members of the Nothofagus
genus, indigenous to the area
since the Jurassic period.’’
But the forest was isolated
when the supercontinent
Gondawanaland broke up,
creating today’s continents. Now
an eco-island, the forest occupies
a limited range, between 35 and 40
degrees south and 710 and 1188m
elevation.
Farther along, we stopped at
the Darwin Frog Museum, a oneroom cabin with exhibits to
support research into the fungi
killing this and other frogs
worldwide. When Rojas explained
that the chirp-chirp heard
overhead was a recording of the
endangered frog, we realised that
not even this museum had a
living specimen. ‘‘We’re hoping to
find one,’’ said Rojas, shaking his
head.
Challenged to locate one of the
critters, we combed through the
surrounding understory for a few
minutes, searching under ferns
and vines, but found only the
wispy ‘‘guila’’ bush. Pronounced
‘‘huila,’’ said Rojas ‘‘this one
grows everywhere, even when
nothing else will.’’ By the time we
stopped to watch an Andean
condor overhead and admired the
pre-European Mapuche artifacts
in the nearly-finished Volcano
Museum — named for its shape,
not its contents — the sun was
high in the sky. Joining the
boardwalk trail across a boggy
meadow, we found the third
‘‘canopy.’’
‘‘That’s Canopy Village, right
there,’’ said Maria, a housekeeper
who was pushing a cart of towels.
The cabins, priced for campers
and families, perch on stilts next
to the Huemul enclosure, another
of Hulio Huilo’s wildlife
preservation projects.
‘‘If you look through there,’’
she said, pointing to the windows
near the floor, ‘‘you can see the
deer when they come to drink. We
had three deer to start; now we
have 20.’’
I could have put on crampons,
roped up and climbed Mocho
Choshuenco’s icy summit. This
guided trek, a match for glacier
skiing in Norway, earns an eight
on the risk-meter. Instead, I joined
a snow mobile tour with glaciologist Antonio Vasquez, who also
runs Huilo Huilo’s ski area.
THE NITTY GRITTY
The resort is at Neltume, a village
near Lake Pirehuico. Fly to
Santiago, Chile, and on to Temuco
airport, a two-hour drive from
Huilo Huilo. Rent a car or hire
local transport. Summer months,
December through February, is
warm and dry. Spring and fall are
beautiful; winter recreation
includes skiing. For more
information, go to

the Nothofagus hotel start at
US$222 (NZ$317) per night, but

Your health
WITH AUTHOR AND NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMIST DR LIBBY
Why do I feel
cold every day?
I always feel cold, particularly in
my extremities. A friend
recently suggested this might
have a nutritional basis, what
are your thoughts? Thanks, Roz
Hi Roz. Feeling cold all the
time, particularly in your
extremities, can be caused by
poor circulation, insufficient
dietary fat and micronutrient
deficiencies to name a few of the
more common causes. Let’s
explore a few below:
VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENCY
If you are deficient in vitamin
B12, you might experience
numbness in your extremities.
This sensation may feel like cold
or tingling. Vitamin B12
deficiency can lead to nerve
damage. Tiredness, muscle
weakness, loss of appetite,
constipation and weight loss often
accompany these symptoms. If
you are vegetarian, vegan, or
have problems with digestion it’s
best to consult your GP to have
this tested.
IRON DEFICIENCY
Difficulty maintaining body
temperature can be a symptom of
iron deficiency. Iron is critical for
your red blood cells to transport
oxygen throughout your body.
Low iron levels often produce
symptoms of fatigue, weakness
and susceptibility to the cold
because your cells are not getting
the oxygen they need to operate
effectively. Iron deficiency
anaemia is also incredibly
common. According to the World
Health Organisation (WHO), a
staggering 2 billion people in the
world, in both developing and
industrialised countries are irondeficient. Research suggests
between 20 and 30 per cent of
women of child-bearing age in
Australia and New Zealand are
iron-deficient.
IODINE DEFICIENCY
Iodine is the key to a healthy
thyroid and metabolism. It is best
known for being a part of thyroid

Feeling cold all the time can be caused by various issues.
hormones, which are used in
every cell of our bodies to regulate
metabolism by controlling the
burning of fat for energy and body
temperature.
Everything I read is always
about weight loss, but I can’t
gain weight – how can I do so
safely? Thank you, Sam
Hi Sam. That’s a great
question! An inability to gain
weight can most definitely have a
genetic basis; it can also be due to
a highly stressful environment or
a tendency to anxiety and high
levels of adrenaline can result in
difficulty gaining weight.
For healthy weight gain it’s
important to increase energy
intake by increasing nutrient and
energy rich foods in the way you
eat each day. You need to supply
your body with all the essential
nutrients it needs for muscle
growth and maintenance.You
should be aiming to put on
healthy weight by increasing
muscle mass with a healthy
proportion of body fat.
To do this you need to increase
your daily food intake of protein
foods, healthy fats and slow
releasing complex carbohydrates.
Obviously it’s important to steer
away from heavily processed or
refined foods that are not nutrient
dense and tend to be higher in
sugar, salt and poor quality fats.
Protein is also essential for
growth and maintenance of
muscles; good sources include
oily fish, chicken, red meat, nuts
and seeds.
Increasing your intake of
complex carbohydrate foods such
starchy vegetables (potato,
kumara, pumpkin, corn) brown
rice and oats (if you digest them
well), may help assist healthy
weight gain, without disrupting
your blood sugar levels. Upping
wholefoods fats is also beneficial,
such as those found in avocado,
nuts, seeds, organic butter,
coconut, oily fish and grass-fed
meats. Also try including more
energy and nutrient rich snacks
in your daily diet such as
smoothies/bliss balls.
It’s also important to continue
to eat plenty of vegetables, as they
should be a major part of any diet.
It may also be worthwhile
considering conditions such as an
over active thyroid, as obviously
this can influence your ability to
gain weight.

Josiah enlisted in March 1915, serving with the 2nd Battalion, Otago
Infantry Regiment until he was killed in action in August 1917.

ROAST DUCK
1 wild duck, dressed (as per first part of instructions)
30g unsalted butter, divided measure, 2-3 sprigs of parsley
½ an orange (blood orange if possible), About ¼ cup marmalade,
Juice of 2 - 3 oranges, Up to 200ml chicken stock,
Salt & pepper to taste, 1 tsp cornflour, Water, ½ lemon, juiced
Heat oven to 170deg. Wipe the duck inside and out with a paper towel. Put 15g
of butter, the parsley and the half orange inside the bird and truss. Now soften the
remaining 15g butter and mix with the marmalade and spread all over the bird.
Put the duck in a covered casserole or roasting dish and pour the orange juice and
about 100ml of stock into the dish.
Cover and put in the oven and cook for 1½ hours. Baste frequently, adding more stock
if necessary. When the bird is tender to the knife, remove the lid but baste and cook
a further 10 or so minutes to give it a good colour. Remove the duck and keep warm.
Scrape up any sticky bits in the pan and add sufficient stock to make a sauce.
Make a paste with the cornflour and stir into the liquid to
thicken it slightly. Add the salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste,
bring to a simmer. Serve separately with the carved duck.

ADVERTISING TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
In accepting an advertisement (including a notice) for publication,
and in publishing it we are doing so in consideration of and relying
on the advertisers express warranty, the truth of which is essential:
a. That the advertisement does not contain anything that is
misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive or which
otherwise breaches the Fair Trading Act 1986. That is defamatory or
indecent or which otherwise offends against generally accepted
community standards.
That infringes a copyright or trademark or otherwise infringes any
intellectual or industrial property rights.
That breaches any provision of any statute, regulation, by-law or
other rule or law, and
b. That the advertisement complies in every way with the
Advertising Codes of Practice issued by the Advertising Standards
Authority Inc. (ASA) and with every other code or industry standard
relating to advertising in New Zealand, and
c. Publication of the advertisement will not give rise to any liability
on our part or in a claim being made against us.
2. The advertiser agrees to indemnify us against all losses or costs
arising directly or indirectly from any breach of those warranties by
the advertiser and from any costs incurred in our making corrections
or amendments in accordance with the terms that follow.
3. By supplying or placing an advertisement for publication the
advertiser grants us a perpetual, royalty free license to reproduce the
advertisement in any print or electronic advertising media we offer
advertisers now or in the future.
4. Where the advertiser utilises any aspect of our creative services in
the design or production of an advertisement (including photographic or design work) the advertiser acknowledges that we own the
copyright in such work and that such work is not work for which a
commissioning payment has been made or agreed.
5. We may refuse to publish, or withdraw an advertisement from
publication without having to give a reason.
6. We may publish the advertisement on the next available day if
there is an error delay in publication of the advertising as booked.
7. We may correct or amend advertising to conform to style or for
other genuine reason as long as we do so using reasonable care.
8. We may take orders for advertising in specific spaces (space
orders). The space may be used only by the advertiser for advertising
of the advertisers usual business and may not be transferred by the
advertiser to another person.
9. The guarantees contained in The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993
are excluded where the advertiser acquires, or holds himself out as
acquiring, goods or services from us for the purpose of a business.
10. The advertiser must tell us as soon as possible if there is an error
or omission in any advertisement the advertiser has placed. We will
not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss (which includes
loss of revenue or profit) from an error or omission or failure to
publish and if we are found to have any direct liability for any
circumstance that liability is limited to the cost of the space of the
advertisement.
11. To cancel an advertisement a cancellation number must be
obtained from us.
12. The charge for an advertisement will be in accordance with the
published rate card applying at the time for the publication, unless
we agree otherwise in writing. Rate card adjustments will apply to
space orders with effect from advertising appearing 28 days after the
rate adjustment is published on our rate card. Rates for space orders
apply for the whole space and are not reduced if the whole space is
not used.
13. Advertising placed by advertisers who are not New Zealand
residents will be zero-rates for GST purposes. GST will be applied at
the standard rate to advertising placed by non-resident agents acting
for New Zealand resident principals.
14. If payment for advertising is not made by due date (which is the
20th of the month following invoice. unless we specify otherwise ) the
advertiser will be liable for interest at market rates and all costs of
recovery, commissions and collection fees.
