Arthur’s Pass<br />
victim to be<br />
buried at sea<br />
THE FUNERAL for the woman<br />
who fell 100m to her death while<br />
canyoning in Arthur’s Pass<br />
National Park will be held in<br />
Germany this week.<br />
The death notice<br />
for Verena Jantje<br />
Kühl (right),<br />
known as Jantje,<br />
which appeared<br />
in German<br />
newspapers, said<br />
her funeral would be held on<br />
Friday in Glückstadt.<br />
It said there would be a burial<br />
at sea later. Instead of flowers,<br />
the notice said to make a gift to<br />
the Westpac Rescue Helicopter<br />
in Greymouth, which was called<br />
to the incident. The 39-year-old<br />
and her husband were canyoning<br />
at Twin Peaks Falls on March 18<br />
when she fell at about 4pm.<br />
Her husband abseiled to where<br />
she lay, activated an emergency<br />
beacon and yelled for help.<br />
When the Westpac Rescue<br />
Helicopter arrived, Ms Kühl had<br />
already died. She had been living<br />
in Bundaberg, Australia, working<br />
as a paramedic for the Wide Bay<br />
Local Ambulance Service.<br />
Police have referred her death to<br />
the coroner.<br />

DISTRICT COUNCIL chief<br />
executive David Ward has<br />
spoken to his Environment<br />
Canterbury counterpart after<br />
the Malvern Community Board<br />
was not considered an interested<br />
party in Fonterra’s latest water<br />
consent application.<br />
It comes after<br />
ECan approved<br />
in February<br />
for Fonterra<br />
to take and<br />
use groundwater<br />
from<br />
Homebush Rd,<br />
Darfield.<br />
As a result,<br />
Mr Ward has<br />
met with ECan’s chief executive<br />
Bill Bayfield.<br />
An ECan’s spokeswoman said<br />
its compliance team and the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Zone Committee<br />
will continue to monitor the<br />
consent.<br />
“ECan has not previously<br />
been informed by the<br />
Malvern Community Board<br />
of their interest in being<br />
advised of any resource consent<br />
applications,” the spokeswoman<br />
said.<br />
ECan keeps a register of parties<br />
who wishes to be advised<br />
of certain types of resource<br />
consent applications lodged.<br />
It comes after concerns if<br />
Fonterra took any more water<br />
than authorised, it could impact<br />
the Darfield water supply.<br />
But acting Darfield site operations<br />
manager Shane Taylor said<br />
there are “absolutely no plans”<br />
to draw more water than what<br />
is used.<br />
He said Fonterra recently<br />
drilled the water bore as a contingency<br />
for its Darfield site and<br />
all regulatory processes have<br />
been followed.<br />
“The bore will provide increased<br />
flexibility in managing<br />
local water levels by allowing<br />
the existing volume to be spread<br />
across three bores.<br />
“Importantly it provides<br />

DEVELOPMENT: Darfield Fonterra has recently drilled another water bore – but said it has no<br />
plans to take more water than it is already using.<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
contingency for the site if one<br />
of the existing bores was to fail<br />
by ensuring sufficient water is<br />
available to process milk,” he<br />
said.<br />
ECan’s consent planning<br />
manager Virginia Loughnan<br />
said as part of the consent,<br />
Fonterra was required to install<br />
a water meter and recording<br />
device for monitoring.<br />
