Ex-locals Michelle Raeburn and John Grierson were married earlier this year in Katikati, where they live. Michelle will be remembered as Ohakune Primary School's dental nurse for several years, and John may be remembered for his nickname of "Chains". The name was given to him, so the story goes, when he was driving mountain goats and decided there was no reason to take the snowchains off the wheels of his bus. After about a week of clanking around the town in the early hours, as well as knocking the somewhat out of the tar-seal, a by-law was passed banning the use of chains within the Borough - so the story goes!
