As we wrap up another year here in the beautiful Upper Clutha, The Messenger Team would like to wish all our readers, advertisers and contributors a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year. What a year of curveballs we have had to navigate, with lots of changes to adapt to for individuals and businesses alike. As always our locals have banded together and shown true community spirit. Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends and get out there and enjoy our region. Go and experience what our local businesses have to offer and most of all, have fun. INSTALLATION | FABRICATION | ACCESSORIES

We look forward to informing and supporting our community through 2022, as The Messenger has done since 1978. From Paul, Vicky, Niamh and Rachael (and the dogs of The Messenger)

Ho ho hooooow are we Wanaka? Fingers crossed the tree is up and everyone is counting down to sharing the season with those around them. So, what happened this last week? The week started with some money being taken out of an account, unfortunately from someone they know. Following this, we attended a vehicle crash on Riverbank Road, thankfully no one was hurt.

I’m sad to say that the burglaries didn’t stop there. We’ve received calls about suspicious persons, and people having their cars entered during the night. While I agree that living somewhere that doesn’t require you to screw down everything you own would be sublime, it just isn’t the world we currently live in. Be vigilant. Lock your cars and call us with any suspicious activity.

Tuesday saw a search warrant executed for drugs, where drugs were found. Then a disqualified driver didn’t take court rulings seriously and has now lost their vehicle.

Given the traffic light system, we offered education throughout the week to people who weren’t up to speed with certain regulations. This included licensed premises, commercial businesses, and individuals.

Later in the week we had reports of more fraud, this time via Facebook marketplace – there is very little protection with buying items this way, so if you’re unsure, don’t risk it.

Cathy Rodgers

Police responded to a 3-vehicle collision on the Hikuwai/Northlake border, thankfully no one was injured. Nearing the weekend things continued to keep us busy with a family dispute, breach of bail, and another vehicle collision.

If you would like us to include a birthday and give the gift of a free coffee phone 03 443 7805 or email hello@mymessenger.co.nz

The weekend saw us deal with a trespass and arrest, that turned into someone needing some help under the surface when, we dug a little deeper… remember I said we’re genuinely here to help! There were many parties this weekend all around the area, and it was good to see that people were able to enjoy themselves without losing control, good work. The end of the week also saw a freedom camping dispute out towards Luggate, where tempers were raised.

WISHING ALL OUR CLIENTS & ANIMALS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! STAY SAFE.

On a side note, a large amount of found cash was handed in to the station in a bag. If this is yours, come in. For those of you who are still at work this week and those who aren’t, have a fantastic week and savour the time you have with those around you.

MY COMMUNITY NEWS Cat Rescue Wanaka Membership coming soon! At this time of year, too many kittens are born unowned and uncared for. Cat Rescue Wanaka aims to reduce the stray cat population by getting the waifs and strays into a family of their own. This requires TLC, veterinary care, and funds, as all their kittens are neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before being rehomed. If you are in a position to give financially, this is extremely appreciated. CRW are launching new initiatives so there are lots of ways people can help.

Miaowy Christmas Everyone, from The CReW! x

The story of Christmas comes to life in Hawea Flat St Ninian’s Church is bringing the story of Christmas to life, this Christmas Eve. The free event, catering for anyone aged 0-99+ is ‘an opportunity for us to open our doors, and to share the Christmas story, in a fun and new way. We haven’t done anything like this before, and we’re incredibly excited to bring the story of Jesus’ birth to life’, says Pastor Aaron Johnstone. The new Covid protection framework limits gatherings to a maximum of 50 people, so St Ninians have decided to try something different this year, as they are unable to hold their ever-popular Christmas Eve services in the traditional way. With live animals, carol singers & several interactive elements - this walk-through event is a a must-do on your Christmas Eve calendar. The event is FREE, and open to all. There will be two sessions (5.30 - 7.00pm & 8.30 - 10.00pm) on Christmas Eve.

Community Networks/LINK will continue to operate a service for everyone regardless of vaccine status. From Monday, December 20, the Wānaka Community Hub will be asking visitors to present a valid Covid-19 My Vaccine Pass – therefore, Community Networks/LINK are trialling a new system to ensure that everyone can continue to access our services safely and comfortably. JP services, Community Law and social worker appointments and the Foodbank remain available to all, but the system - and sometimes the location - may be slightly different to what you’re used to.

• If you are unwell, have been to a location of interest in the last 14 days or are awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test, please stay at home. If you need support, give us a call and we will provide assistance over the phone. • Wherever possible, please give our friendly team a call on 03 443 7799 to book an appointment before arriving at the Hub. • You will be asked to disclose your vaccine status (confidentially) so that we can ensure the correct

precautions are taken and give you the correct instructions. • Please observe signage on the entrance to the Hub building to access the Community Networks reception. If you have an appointment with us and do not hold a valid vaccine pass, you will be asked to wait on the far side of reception. This is to ensure we can continue to welcome everyone to the Hub safely. • Please continue to scan or sign in, wear a face covering, and keep your distance from others.

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we manage an ever-changing situation. If you have any questions, call us on 03 443 7799. Noho ora mai
