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

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

Laughter Yoga

AmbroseCupGolfTournament
Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise rou!ne, which combines
laughter exercises with yogic breathing (Pranayama). 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.

Update at Heartlands Fairlie Resource Centre
LAKE TEKAPO I-SITE NOTIFICATION
LAST DATE FOR VOUCHERS
TO BE REDEEMED
14TH SEPTEMBER 2012
operated by the Mackenzie Community Enhancement Board
Apart from the day to day operation of the Heartlands facility,
there are a number of small projects on the way!
The outings or drives – Come drive with us! - seem to be going
along just fine. The recent trip to Oamaru was most
enjoyable and gave us a taste of how good it will be when we
have a community mini-van to take on trips. There is heaps to
learn and see as we travel along these back roads and the fellow
travellers always have something to contribute. Note the date
change for the next trip - 26th September - Geraldine,
Clandeboye and Temuka environs. Anyone who would like an
outing and who is happy to pay the volunteer driver for petrol is
welcome to come along! Please put your name down at
Heartlands and the list closes on the 21st September so we know
how many vehicles we need to arrange. October 30th we set off
early to travel to Twizel and around the lakes, returning home
through Waimate. Consider coming!
Following on from the Fairlie Forum we have another meeting
for Main Street retailers/owners – coming up! This will give them
a chance to talk about such things as planning for future events,
parking issues on Main Street, and working together to improve
the look of the street. Also a meeting of reps from community
organisations is planned for them to discuss how we can all
assist each other in what we do!
Due to the closure of Lake Tekapo i-SITE as at 8th July 2012
and the closure of the Mackenzie Tourism & Development Trust,
please be advised that this is the last chance to put a claim in for any
outstanding vouchers.
Send invoices by 14th September 2012 preferably via e-mail to:

Message from the Mayor
SPRING TIME SALE AT MINT!!
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.

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!

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.

meet and uphold these standards. Russell advised us, "In the
course of your Annual Review, it was pleasing to note that
all aspects of your business met or exceeded the relevant
MTA standard." We are very proud to be members of this
recognised, trusted and well respected brand.
The local Cancer Support Group would like to thank the
community for their generosity on Daffodil Day.
Bronwyn Buick and Helen Willetts (above) were part of a group
of volunteers who collected for the street appeal. Over $2000
was raised on the day which was a fantastic result.
In addition to this the local schools were involved:
St Josephs raised $194 Fairlie Primary $406 Albury $322.
The raffle was won by Jenny Kerr.
The Mackenzie Cancer Group (Tekapo and Lower Mackenzie)
welcomes the opportunity to offer information, help with transport
costs to treatment and support in the home BUT for
this to happen, we have to be approached by you or you can
contact the supportive staff in Timaru.
Contact Helen Humphrey 685 8889 or Sonia Callaghan 685 8075
With our 2 fully qualified mechanics and a mechanics
assistant we are able to attend to all general repairs,
servicing, cambelt replacements, clutch jobs and ‘Warrant of
fitness' on most makes and models which means you don't
have the hassle of taking your vehicle to town for repairs.
We also run a 24 hour breakdown service and contract to
both the AA and First Assistance. You may have read
recently on the sale of our old Landcruiser tow truck with the
amazing winch. That has been put into service with an AA
contractor in Lower Hutt. We still have winching
capabilities with our slide deck salvage truck but not quite to
the same extent. The slide deck truck is a lot more versatile
for dealing with all types of vehicles from the lowered boy
racer types with body kits to big 4 wheel drives.
Equipment for Hire at reasonable rates.
6x4 Trailer with / without cage: $15 half day / $25 full day.
Logsplitter - towable within town boundary $85 per day.
Waterblaster, Compactor, Cement Mixer, 8kva Generator
and a few smaller items.
Feel free to ask if you need something.
With our recent employment of Alan Williams, comes
experienced in bigger machinery, forklifts, diggers, graders
and the like. Alan was previously with Goughs in Dunedin
and worked through the whole Otago region servicing these
types of machinery. We are happy to take on this type of
work so give us a call to discuss your requirements.
So if you have any mechanical repair work that needs doing
on your vehicle, motor bike or small engine, give us a ring
on 03 6806 803 and talk to one of the boys - Ian, Alan or
Scott about your problems and let us fix it for you.

It's good to see spring finally arrive and the country side drying
out a bit after the rinsing it received last month.
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.

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.

A couple of weeks ago a deer was poached from a private green

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.

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 info@agentfinder.co.nz
or you can call 03 685 6262 or free phone 0800 789 532 any time.
I hope this helps and good luck.

STILL NEEDED
News in brief!
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.
Playgroup Late Night Shopping in Fairlie
Fairlie Playgroup has announced the date has been set for their
Shopping Night on Main Street Fundraiser. Keep the evening of
November 29th free to come support Playgroup!
Shoes & Boots: Children’s, men’s and ladies (no high heels)
Spectacles & Sunglasses: Reading or prescription lenses are fine
Miscellaneous: Plastic storage bins (with lids)
Medical: Bandages, dressings, eye patches etc
Amusing Mural at Mackenzie College
The Kirke Street wall of the Mackenzie College art room is now
home to an amusing mural painted by Robert Baird.
Take a walk and have a smile at this delightful piece!
Contact: Phillipa (03) 685 8805 / 0212 642 905
Drop-off: Phillipa or Resource Centre
Please let Phillipa know if you can assist with clean, dry storage and/or
help with packing the items when it comes time to ship them to Nepal.
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.

Update
FDPA SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT SLIP
Many of you will know something about the Fairlie District
Promotions Association (FDPA), which was incorporated as a
society in 2006 with the aim of promoting Fairlie as a place to
visit and stay thus supporting the local economy.
The FDPA membership is comprised mainly of local businesses
and individuals – in fact, anyone with an interest in the promotion
of Fairlie can be a member. For a modest annual subscription
members can be included on the fairlienz.com website and on
the local tourist map. Of course, you are also welcome to be a
member without a map or website listing.
Please return this slip with your payment or pay direct to the
Westpac bank account:

Attention: The Secretary.
2012/13 Subscriptions Schedule
This year the new Committee is focused on revitalising the
group, bringing in new ideas, new members and new energy.
We will be revisiting the rules and aims of the group to ensure
these meet the needs of members.
The other major item on our 2012/13 work plan is improving the

content loaded onto the site. In addition, a small but enthusiastic
subgroup will be commencing the native planting project along
the Opihi River.
Meetings
Meetings are held at 7.30pm on the fourth Thursday each
month and we’d love to have more members come along.
The dates for the remainder of 2012 are:
