Councillor Lloyd dies DAVID HAXTON A by-election will take place soon for a new Waikanae ward councillor following the untimely death of Tony Lloyd.

Mr Lloyd, 67, died in Wellington Hospital on Sunday following a stroke on Thursday.

On Wednesday he had a successful hip replacement operation.

“According to the experts, they don’t think the hip operation and stroke were related — it was just one of those things,” Kapiti Mayor Ross Church said.

“It’s a sad time and we’re going to do what we can to support his wife Jill and the family.”

Mr Church said Mr Lloyd was a dedicated and hardworking councillor who was a strong advocate for the Waikanae ward and for the

goals and aspirations of the wider Kapiti district.

Mr Lloyd was serving his second term as a councillor after serving 15 years on the Waikanae Community Board.

He was chairman of council’s appeals committee, deputy chairman of the regulatory management committee, deputy chairman of the grants allocation subcommittee, a councillor appointed to the Waikanae Community Board, a member of the property subcommittee, was on the Pharazyn Reserve management committee and the Kapiti Accessibility Advisory group.

“Tony was the perfect choice for chair of the appeals committee because of his caring, calm, considerate manner,” Mr Church said.

“He was such a gentleman and the ideal man to make decisions that required

“Tony’s untimely death has rocked us all.

“He was popular FAREWELL: around Tony Lloyd the council table as well as in the community and he will be sadly missed.”

Chief executive Pat Dougherty said council staff would also miss the steady influence of Mr Lloyd.

“Tony treated everyone with courtesy and consideration.

“He had a great sense of humour and a ready smile.

“Tony made a huge contribution to Waikanae, in

particular and his premature passing is a great loss.

Waikanae Community Board chairman Michael Scott said “Tony’s humanity will be sadly missed around the council table”.

“He brought with him a level of commonsense and decency which on occasions has been lacking around our council table.”

He said Mr Lloyd was always prepared for various meetings and was always in a position to answer a question.

Mr Lloyd had lived on the coast for a number of decades had been deeply involved in the community.

“He brought up his own family and substantially brought up Jill’s two boys too,” Mr Scott said.

Mr Lloyd’s funeral is tomorrow at the St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Hinemoa St, Paraparaumu, at 1pm.

Students relish healthy eating CLOE WILLETTS In honour of New Zealand’s 5+ A Day healthy eating scheme, Raumati South School students indulged in a week’s worth of healthy eating.

Healthy Lunch Week, which took place last week and coincided with the school’s regular Friday healthy school canteen initiative, invited students to enjoy colourful, fresh shared

lunches at the school hall.

Following Tuesday’s vegetable sushi and banana smoothie lunch, Wednesday saw students bring a carrot from home and enjoy pumpkin soup and a crunchy carrot pita bread recipe, derived from popular international chef Jamie Oliver.

Students helped prepare their meals by peeling and grating carrots, and made their own sauces using fresh

“The message is to encourage children to eat more fruits and vegetables,” school lunch coordinator Aki Kurihara said. “The children tend to try food they’ve never tried when they see their peers trying it.

“It’s nice to sit around and share the same meal, which is simple but fresh and healthy.”

Last Wednesday’s Guy Fawkes celebrations saw just three fireworksrelated incidents, which was a lot quieter than previous years, according to Paraparaumu Fire Brigade station officer Gary Johnstone.

Of all three incidents, just one was believed to be suspicious, after a fire was deliberately lit in bushes at Raumati South’s Matthews Park off Menin Rd. Despite initial trouble gaining access to the immediate area, firefighters managed to get the fire under control in 10 minutes.

Family fireworks displays were behind the other two incidents, which saw one fire in bushes on Raumati Rd, and another in a small area of bark by the Kapiti Aquatic Centre. Both fires took less than five minutes to put out.

Mr Johnstone said overall, it “appeared as though everybody was well-behaved in terms of fire-related issues”.

RESURFACING

Coastlands Aquatic Centre will be closed to the public for four days from Tuesday while changing room floors are resurfaced to make them less slippery.

The existing floor tiles will be covered with the same product that is on the surface surrounding the centre’s swimming pools, providing a good nonslip surface.

Coastlands Aquatic Centre will re-open on Saturday, November 22.

“The existing floor tiles meet the building code for wet areas but there have been some issues with slipperiness,” says aquatic facilities manager Alison Law. “We apologise for any inconvenience, but it’s important the job is done before the peak summer period and we have to work with contractor availability.”

Learn to Swim classes on Tuesday through Friday will be cancelled and a refund given for one lesson.

Artefacts unearth coast’s history CLOE WILLETTS “It’s a nice thought that in a sense, there’s been an expressway on this coast for quite a few hundred years, made of water,” MacKays to Peka Peka Expressway project archaeologist Mary O’Keeffe says.

Mrs O’Keeffe’s beliefs of early life in Kapiti are drawing new light to the history of the coast, and have stemmed from a range of artefacts found through the digging up of dirt for the expressway.

“People were travelling around by waka, paddling their way up and down the coast, and lots of the little waterways would’ve been navigable,” said Mrs O’Keeffe, who discovered what she believes is evidence of permanent standing water at Paraparaumu’s Te Moana Rd project site.

“The area has obviously been very wet at some stage, with flowing water, which could have been anywhere up to 400 years ago.

“I think there was a whole lot of wetland up there, which would’ve been a really attractive resource that drew people to live there to be close to flax, eels and other resources.”

Having also examined a unique piece of obsidian extracted from the high dunes just north of Te Moana Rd this month, found by Goodman Contracting operator Brent Cottle, Mrs O’Keeffe also believes national trade featured in Kapiti.

“Obsidian is volcanic glass, which was a really precious and attractive resource for pre-European Maori because you can

get a very sharp edge on it and make sharp cutting tools.

“This particular piece is almost certainly from around the Taupo region, and the fact the material isn’t local is telling us something about trade.”

Determining it came from Taupo because of distinct markings on its exterior, she said despite the artefact appearing “small and humble”, it draws questions that encourage you to “rethink the archaeology of the Kapiti Coast in terms of how people were living and what they were doing with resources”.

Having so far found at least 90 archaeological sites, including large midden sites, otherwise known as big shell deposits.

Mrs O’Keeffe said the digging up of history is “really exciting”.

“Since the midden sites are bigger than expected, I believe it represents that the land was used as what I call ‘factory floors’.

“People were going out to the coast and gathering huge amounts of shellfish, then bringing it inland and processing it, either through smoking the meat out of shell fish over open fires, or possibly stringing the meat on flax lines and smoking it over the fires that way.

“We’re finding such big deposits of shells, which are more than people would normally eat in a day or two.”

With strict protocols in place, project contractors are taken through an archaeological briefing as part of their induction process, and advised to contact Mrs O’Keeffe or an on-site iwi monitor if

“The interesting thing about archaeology is that while the artefacts might be small objects, they can tell really big stories.”

COLLABORATION: Acclaimed Kapiti artists Gabrielle Ridgway Evans, left, and Debbie Pointon with some of their striking works set for display at this weekend’s Kapiti Arts Trail.

Locals can delve into the creative minds of top Kapiti artists Debbie Pointon and Gabrielle Ridgway Evans this weekend, as part of the much-anticipated Kapiti Arts Trail.

With an array of vibrant and soulful works set for display, including Pointon’s handcrafted dolls and Ridgway Evans’ award-winning painting Strata, the pair’s exhibition will also feature a collection of colourful hand-stitched felt and embroidery cotton brooches from Raumati South’s Pat Cumming.

Taking place at 1 Weka Rd, Raumati Beach, directly opposite Raumati Beach School, the exhibition will include a mix of captivating mediums.

Pointon will have a series of marionettes on show, accompanied by a small collection of paintings and innovative jewellery.

Ridgway Evans will also have jewellery for sale, as well as her highly-acclaimed mixed media and figurative paintings, which present naturalistic themes that are brought to life through experimentations with layering, collage and texture.

Having recently won first prize for Strata at the Paraparaumu Rotary Club Art Show in the abstract division, Ridgway Evans is hoping to draw steady crowds in her second year exhibiting with Pointon and Cumming at the trail.

“The Kapiti Arts Trail is lots of fun, and it’s great seeing people enjoying all the creativity,” Ridgway Evans said.

“The weekend is a real buzz.”

Also set to open their pop-up shop Nest on Saturday, November 29, which will remain open until Christmas, the pair was thrilled the opportunity emerged for them to open in Paraparaumu Beach as followon from the arts trail.

“Last year we did a pop-up shop in Raumati South, and this year we’re doing the same, but the birds are going to land in Paraparaumu Beach, on the corner of Maclean St and Bluegum Rd,” Pointon said.

Set to be open every Saturday until the week before Christmas, when it will be open every day until the 25th, Nest invites all art-loving locals to fly by.

“I hope lots of people come and enjoy the work.”

Speaker brews up motivation

IN BRIEF Two-car crash claims teen

A 13-year-old girl died after a two-car crash on State Highway 1 near Otaki on Monday afternoon.

Three people were involved in the crash — a driver and passenger in a Subaru vehicle, and a driver in a Ford Falcon vehicle.

The deceased, a 13-year-old female, was the passenger in the Subaru.

It is not believed she and the driver are related.

“Preliminary indications suggest the Subaru was driving on a grass verge by the side of the road when it has pulled out directly into the path of the oncoming south-bound Falcon vehicle,” Horowhenua area response manager, Senior Sergeant Sarn Paroli said.

Both male drivers were transported to Palmerston North Hospital in a serious condition. The driver of the Falcon was airlifted and the Subaru driver was taken by ambulance.

The Serious Crash Unit are investigating.

RYAN EDWARDS Guests at the Electra breakfast on Wednesday morning were treated to an inspirational presentation by Tuatara Brewery head boy Richard Shirtcliffe.

During the 45-minute talk to a packed audience at Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club, Shirtcliffe showed how Tuatara plans to take the local brand and grow it internationally.

Since taking on the role in January this year, he has overseen record growth figures and believes it is a truly exciting time for the beer brand.

“We’re asking lovers of great beer to do more than drink our beer, we’re giving them a great reason to build a relationship with us.”

“By saying, ‘Don’t just open a beer, open your mind’, we are letting people know that there is more to us than beer, that we are interesting, and that helps engage an audience.”

A key focus of the presentation featured on the importance of social media to business and brands.

RICHARD SHIRTCLIFFE Tuatara Brewery head boy

“Social is so important. Social is where today’s conversations are taking place, and it’s crucial that businesses, whatever their size, whatever their function, are getting the social media side of things right, because that is how you engage with an audience these days, and how they engage with each other.”

Feedback from the breakfast was positive, with many saying it was one of the most inspiring and motivating they had attended.

Human skull found

A human skull was discovered in Queen Elizabeth Park on Sunday.

Senior Sergeant Anita Dixon said the skull was discovered by an 11-year-old boy while exploring near the coastal walking track at the Mackays Crossing entrance of the park.

“Preliminary enquiries reveal bones preEuropean and possibly part of a burial ground.”

The skull was sent to a pathologist.

Long-serving radio operator recognised Paraparaumu’s Robert Wardhaugh has been recognised for his long-standing service as a Marlborough Marine radio VHF operator.

Mr Wardhaugh was presented with a 15-year service certificate by general manager safety and response for Maritime New Zealand Nigel Clifford, after first getting involved with the association in 1999.

MMR, which operates five VHF marine channels within the Marlborough Sounds, Cook Strait and Kapiti Coast, provides boat-toboat communication and operator monitoring on four of the channels.

Part of a team of seven radio

operators who take turns monitoring the channels from 7am to 10pm each day, Mr Wardhaugh’s efforts help provide weather forecasts and navigation warnings, including taking trip reports and providing general information as requested.

During the presentation, Mr Clifford said Maritime New Zealand considers “MMR as an integral part of the marine radio network for safety services within New Zealand”.

He also commended the organisation for its strong contribution to the overall maritime distress and safety communications system within the Sounds and surrounding areas.

Beaten McCann vows to try again RYAN EDWARDS The statistics will show that Labour candidate Rob McCann received 13,198 votes in this year’s election, and in the process watched a swing away from Labour. What they don’t show is the hours he put in, the stress levels and the impact on his personal life.

McCann, from Otaihanga, and Labour’s candidate for the Otaki electorate, is a man of strong beliefs, with the disarming ability to wear them without being affronting. He is a family man and a realist.

“There are some races where coming second is a good thing. This is not one of those races.”

When asked how it feels to come second, he’s all honesty.

“Well, the election day was nasty because the weather was just awful, and part of our plan was to get people out there, and it was probably the worst weather I can remember for voting day. I got to see the news that night, and I saw the first set of results and I just knew — that’s it. You know — lose the composure for 30 seconds on the TV and then start supporting all the people who had supported me.”

On reflection, McCann believes that you have to have been there and done it to know what to expect.

“I don’t think anyone knows what they’re getting

Anyone can get hold of me. And they did, and they still do. But for me, being in the public eye was ok, because if you live your public life the same way you live your private life, then you’re ok”

PHOTO: KAP101114SPLRYAN

As a family man, McCann is very grounded, and worked with wife Jo to ensure that the children were only as aware as they needed to be.

“The family coped really well. Because I’m new and I

don’t have any baggage, people don’t tend to like me on purpose. The biggest thing for my partner Jo and me was that the kids didn’t have to wear my decision. But both boys have a social conscience and Jo’s political values are completely aligned, and she has been a huge strength to me.”

With at least three more years in opposition in front of him, the prospect of standing again doesn’t seem to daunt him.

“What we have is a fairly ensconced Member of Parliament, with a great deal of profile, and the electorate is probably becoming more conservative as we are getting more and more wealthy seniors moving here. Add to that that there was a swing away from Labour, which made it very hard to talk about the issues that I think actually matter.

But running again would be the plan.”

Community planning workshops underway CLOE WILLETTS Long-term community plan workshops are taking place in Kapiti this month, and are open to locals who wish to attend and observe a variety of community-related topics discussed by Kapiti Coast District Council.

The 2015 Long Term Plan (LTP) began its series of

workshops last week, and will continue running them every Tuesday and Thursday of November and early December.

People are welcome to attend the workshops as part of what Mayor Ross Church said is an approach to “achieving (council’s) vision of Kapiti as a vibrant, diverse and thriving district”.

“The LTP sets the strategic

direction for council and the community from 2015-2035, particularly over the next three years.

“It outlines what projects and programmes we will invest in, which determines our rates, what capital expenditure we must budget for, and our level of debt.”

The process began in May this year, with a 21-person

MacKays to Peka Peka Wellington Northern Corridor

EXPRESS LANE November Northern Zone - Te Moana Road to Peka Peka Pe Peka

d ka R

North

Vehicle activated traffic lights are still in place on Ngarara Road. Please pay attention to them, as they are there for your safety. Construction of a bore to supply water for construction work in the Northern Zone is underway at Peka Peka – this is due to be completed around the end of November.

We’ve completed the last of the Waikanae River Bridge piles and you’ll notice our large cranes and piling machinery have moved into position behind Melt Café. Here we’re constructing a test pile for the Te Moana Interchange – this work will happen on site and will not affect access to the café or local roads.

Waikanae

Work is continuing to move the Vector gas pipelines out of the way of the Expressway in this area.

We're working on ground improvements on the north bank of the Waikanae River using a technique called 'stone column.' Also on the north bank the footpath has been re-aligned to run past the worksite closer to the river.

We are still working on widening Otaihanga Road.. The Stop/ Go traffic management just to the west of the landfill entrance will return once this work recommences. It may not be there every day so please always take care when using the road. When it is in place there will be slight delays so it would be advisable to use other routes if you can.

Work on Mazengarb Road Bridge is well underway. We’re moving traffic onto the temporary road diversion on Thursday 13 November watch out for our electronic message boards which will keep you posted on the exact date. There will be times when Stop/Go traffic management is used to get this area set up. Please expect slight delays here and, again, if you can, please use other routes.

In the middle of the month you’ll see large machinery moving into the Mazengarb Road area to start work on service relocation (water, power, telecoms). We’re using a technique called “horizontal directional drilling” where a large horizontal drill bores a tunnel underground and then long sections of pipe are pulled through. This method minimises disruption to the environment and ground surface and allows the pipes to be put under Mazengarb Road with minimal disruption to traffic.

Existing SH1

On the south bank we’ve finished driving the steel piles. The column cages that are sticking out of the ground will be transformed into the concrete piers that will support the bridge.

We’ll also start driving steel piles for the abutment supports of the new Mazengarb Road overpass. These will be vibrated into the ground and then driven in with a hydraulic hammer. Again, if you are in the area you may feel some minor vibration (like a train or bus driving past) and the noise (which will not exceed consented limits) will sound like a hammer hitting steel.

Southern Zone - MacKays Crossing to K¯apiti Road We've started work on four bored piles at K¯apiti Road – these are smaller but similar in construction to the Waikanae River Bridge piles and will form the central piers of the new Expressway bridge.

Temporary traffic management and footpath diversions on K¯apiti Road continue and we will be introducing a Stop/Go level crossing. This will be in place from 9am-4pm with priority given to road users and will allow our dumpers to cross the road safely with minimal disruption. There will be a 30km/h speed restriction in place while the level crossing is operating. A short section of the road will also be diverted to move traffic safely past our piling site. This diversion will be in place from Monday 10 November.

To the south of K¯apiti Road boundary fencing and earthworks continue.

Work around Raumati Rd is scheduled to get underway this month. You’ll see big changes to the local landscape as we start to clear vegetation and large trees along the Expressway route. We’ll be putting up fencing to keep people safe and out of the worksites – this means the informal footpaths that have been used in this area will no longer be useable. We’ll put signage up advising other routes. Please remember worksites are extremely dangerous places. Fences and signs are there for your safety so please respect and observe them.

Earthworks and pre-load next to Poplar and Leinster Avenues continue and State Highway still has a 70km/h speed restriction in place for northbound traffic.

Local Journey Times Because Expressway work is taking place alongside all the main local roads – Raumati Road, K¯apiti Road, Mazengarb Road, Otaihanga Road and Te Moana Road please allow a little extra time for local travel. Take extra care and pay attention to the road signs and speed limits. We thank you for your patience while we get on with this work.

Sad loss of a very good man

Discovering the wit and heart of Tony Lloyd A break for a coffee during a council meeting.

He was leaning on his walking stick and talking about the operation he was scheduled to undergo to fix his hip.

When Tony Lloyd spoke about hospitals, hospital services and operations you always knew he knows what he’s speaking about.

He had a personal grasp of the details. Something one gains only by experience at the coal face I had first known him during my time as a journalist and Tony was a member of the Waikanae Community Board.

I recall his carefully crafted letters to the editor, oozing with sarcasm and taking me to task whenever he thought my reporting was less than fair to his politics.

He had a knack of being personal without overtly being seen as personal.

He was, of course, the brother-in-law of that colourful rough-as-they-come, shoot-from-the-hip, Mayor Brett Ambler.

In character they were poles apart.

I never really knew the heart of Tony until some years after Ambler died of cancer in 2001. It unfolded through an interview for a story on organ transplants. Tony’s wife Jill had had a liver transplant. I sat in the living room of their home in Waikanae as they recounted the drama. How Jill got sick and the diagnosis that led to that emergency dash to the airport and the flight to Auckland for treatment and that miraculous and timely transplant.

Followed by the constant vigilance of monitoring her health and organising her medication. And doing this without fail for the years that followed. If there is a single outstanding quality that I

can say about Tony was his complete loyalty and dedication as a husband to Jill.

Out of this sprung a range of other qualities that made him really care about the people in his community. He was a soft spoken guy with an independent mind. Unafraid to vote against the likes of water meters and the complete waste of $15,000 on that code of conduct fiasco against Cr Elliot.

He also had a great sense of humour that made council meetings refreshingly less dreary.

He served 15 years as a community board member and four as councillor.

All rooted in the local community of Waikanae.

One of the challenges he was looking forward to was the threat of amalgamation. We had many a discussion about how this would impact on Waikanae.

I remember his jocular remark about how we could kick that amalgamation ball around after he got his hips fixed.

We had intended to continue that discussion when we finished that coffee at the council meeting recently.

All of us around the council table, elected members and staff, had expected to see Tony back with us dealing with the rough and tumble of local politics.

As life deals out its deck of cards we never know what’s around the corner.

He will be missed.

Youngster’s brave fight basis for book CLOE WILLETTS A local boy is the inspiration behind a reality-hitting children's picture book being launched in Wellington and Kapiti this month, written by Te Horo-based author Jacqui Simpson.

Ethan the Incredible is written about a family friend of Ms Simpson, Ethan Wyman, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2011 and died in 2012, aged 10.

“He was an amazing, wonderful child, with a passionate love of swords and weapons,” said Ms Simpson, who created her own publishing brand Alcora Books. ‘‘He naturally became the knight in the story with dragons to fight and princesses to rescue, but by the end of the story he has to go away to find more adventures.

“He loved scooters, his favourite colour was green and he had a gorgeous cat Pebbles, which also features in the story.”

Having worked with Raumatibased book designer Vida Kelly and Wellington illustrator Philip Webb to bring the story to life with vibrant illustrations, Ms Simpson said foremost she wanted to see the story published for Ethan’s family and community.

“The story is told in rhyme, and Ethan's brothers and sister also feature. It can be enjoyed by children as a fun and entertaining story, but also has a deeper layer of meaning and relevance and will touch the hearts of anyone who reads it.”

Close to decisions

story cleverly represents the battle with his illness.”

“Our family will really treasure this book and it will be something to be passed down through the generations.’’

Launched at The Children's Bookshop in Wellington yesterday, Ethan the Incredible will be available in local bookshops including Moby Dickens at Paraparaumu Beach.

Chairing Council’s Regulatory Management Committee brings me into close contact with decisions that affect all residents of our district, on a daily basis.

We ensure the protection and safety of the people in our district through areas such as building control, resource consents, environmental health and animal control. Other responsibilities include liquor licensing control and administering the Food Act. The average person may not be aware of the local impacts of the national laws we have to administer, and may be surprised how these laws affect their daily lives. Animal control for example is not just about people registering their ownership of dogs but ensuring dangerous dogs are controlled.

Given our experience of serious dog attacks, it is an essential safeguard.

Recent changes in liquor licensing laws have filtered down in ways people did not foresee. For example Rotary Clubs, having a drink before dinner, need a licence to serve their members and guests.

Sometimes, we as individuals don’t agree with what national laws allow. The sale of psychoactive substances is a case in point. We would have preferred a total ban.

Our role now, given the law allows it, is to try and reflect public opinion by strictly controlling the options for sale.

One area where we are making a difference is in being ‘open for business’ and helping people with building control and resource consents, assisting the growth of the district.

There was a 22 per cent increase in building consents

Cr Diane Ammundsen

Regulatory Management Committee

issued in the 2013/14 year compared to 2012/13. Site inspections were up 11 per cent on 2012/13 and the number of Land Information Memoranda (LIM) requests processed was up 10 per cent.

We processed 93 per cent of building consents within statutory timeframes in 2013/14. Better still, all 6076 site inspections this year were completed within 24 hours of request, or at a scheduled time.

This was up 11 per cent on 2012/13.

All 727 LIM requests were processed within the required 10 working days. The average time was four working days. Nearly 98 per cent of resource consents were processed within statutory timeframes too.

We are making it a rule of thumb that requests for service are dealt with promptly. A new initiative is to allow people to book appointments to discuss their building consents with council staff from November 10.

We listened to customers saying they would appreciate being able to book a time to come and lodge a building consent or make an enquiry rather than turning up at Council offices when sometimes a wait is involved if staff are busy with other people.

People will be able to book 30-minute appointments, by ringing Council on 0800 486 486.

The process will be reviewed in six months to see how it is working and to look at how further improvements can be made.

It is a way of showing we care about our people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Safer cycling

I’d like to use your newspaper to publicly thank those involved in producing the Lego Man model covering safer cycling through the new Kapiti Rd Intersection. As I understand it, Kapiti Coast District Council staff built the scale model of the intersection, and Kapiti College students then produced a video to explain the somewhat unusual “hook turn” manoeuvre. The model is currently on display at Paraparaumu Library. The council and its staff deserve a lot of credit for the effort that they have made to explain how the intersection works, and the innovative method they used to capture the public’s attention.

Thanks and well done, team.

LYNN SLEATH Paraparaumu

Double standards

How did we ever reach the stage where if a dog bites another dog, a judge can condemn it to death and the council kill it? I have a neighbour that has cats, and in the past, two of those cats would engage in furious fighting, clawing and biting each other in melee of intense dislike, with fur flying.

Should I have called the police?

If a horse bites another horse, do we arrest it?

Incarcerate it for two years and then kill it? There are parallels with what is going on here and 16th century Europe, where animals accused of being witches would be tortured and hung, all on the order of a judge.

In this case, the judge decided a chase and a single bite constituted an attack.

I disagree, dogs are dogs, not humans, and that should be recognised.

Dogs are entirely dependent on humans for their welfare and I have to say the casual killing of a dog for one bite of another dog is not only entirely unjustifiable, but reflects very badly on those who framed the law, those who interpret that law and those involved in the killing.

CHRIS NORMAN Paraparaumu Beach

Stop this injustice

In response to Kerry Bolton’s letter November 5. In my children’s growing up years, we had a pet dog, bred puppies, and my son, a keen hunter, had hunting dogs that were members of the family too. But dogs will be dogs in their natural element, with other animals including other dogs, who would deny that?

I remember once two of his hunting dogs had a fight and we could hardly separate them — they were locked on to each other! They never threatened us, in close quarters trying to separate them.

One did injure the other but my son could hardly complain to the “owner”.

Anyway, no case to put down one of the dogs. Re Beau? Wasn’t it only a minor injury he caused the other dog? How’s that now? Has our council caused yet another injustice, another heavy-handed legalistic prosecution of a member of our community and her dog way out of proportion to the alleged offence?

What offence, really? We’ve had too many examples of that. My appeal and challenge to Mayor Church, the councillors and chief executive is don’t to let this become their legacy. There’s more than just a dog’s life at issue. Stop this injustice.

RICHARD HALLIDAY Waikanae

Uninformed opinion

What bugs me about your [Lowell Manning’s] letter ‘Confusing Roles’ is that you are so uninformed. Salima Padamsey speaks for Kapiti residents effected by the Proposed District Plan. As secretary of Coastal Ratepayers United, Salima has spent thousands of hours at her own expense reversing the excessive and unscientific PDP Chapter 4, Coastal Hazards, which our council tried to ram through.

Councillor Diane Ammundsen supported this folly and was quoted as saying, “The PDP is defendable”. I note that three ardent PDP supporters (Gael Ferguson, Jim Ebenhoh and Jenny Rowan) have gone, but the ‘we know best’ culture lingers.

Ammundsen is part of this culture.

You say that Salima “seriously conflates, fundamentally different issues”. The issue is the same no matter what hat is worn. Conflict of interest and a lack of impartiality is always a reason to withdraw from the democratic process. You say, “That’s politics folks”. Really? We ratepayers want councillors who are accountable, impartial and who listen to us, before embarking on Local Government Law that was a disgrace. Padamsey deserves a medal for keeping our politicians accountable. She has my support.

STEVE SIMPSON Paraparaumu Beach

Exacerbated issue

I am responding to the Lowell Manning’s comments (November 5) pertaining to the discourse on the Kapiti PDP. My interest in this matter is more to do with the role of local decision-making by local

governance institutions related to environmental policy and planning. Something I follow on behalf of large multi-lateral agencies on a daily basis.

On reflection, I find a rather straightforward issue further confused and exacerbated by Mr Manning’s attempts to personalise and simplify, thereby polarise and stigmatise, those who seek accountable, transparent and representative bodies to deliver against their mandates — hardly the ‘subversion of democratic process’ stated therein.

From what I have gathered, following this and other public planning debates in New Zealand (and elsewhere), there still remains a lack of clarity and objectivity when issues of controversy are brought to bear.

An example of this is the waiving of the option for the appointment of independent commissioners by the council, thereby obviating any possibilities of public probity. For 15th century Shire councils, to one side, surely the issue at-hand is the right of expression by an individual to ensure the role of a representative body following due diligence, to fulfil its responsibilities to the local electorate.

KARIM MERCHANT Hertfordshire, England

Unjust allegation

There was no need for Lowell Manning (November 5) in supporting councillor Diane Ammundsen being a hearings commissioner on the Proposed District Plan (PDP) to unjustly allege that “people like Salima Padamsey do not seem to be able to distinguish between the rights and responsibilities of council and councillors on the one hand, and her own self -interest”. Mr

Manning is annoyed that Ms Padamsey has a view that he disagrees with, but which many others, myself included, agree with her on. We believe that fair play demands that Ammundsen, who as the chair of the committee behind the PDP which was found wanting by an independent review, would be wise to step aside from involvement in considering submissions on the PDP. The bottom line to us is that “justice should not only be done but be seen to be done”. It was sad to read Mr Manning’s unwarranted allegation that if Ms Padamsey ever succeeded in her endeavours, “my protest would be in good faith, whereas Ms Padamsey’s is solely self- interest”. KCDC and Ammundsen, indubitably a person of impeccable integrity and a stalwart for Kapiti Coast community well-being need to listen, with an open mind, to what Padamsey is wisely warning council about.

MIKE WEIR Waikanae

Save Beau

I write in support of the letter written by Kerry Bolton (Nov 5) concerning the fate of dog Beau.

There have to be serious doubts when a dog has been impounded for so long awaiting his fate. Beau has proved over the long two years of his impoundment that he is not a dangerous dog, and does not deserve to lose his life. Come on councillors! Show us that you have a heart, and that fairness and honesty can still outweigh socalled ‘legalities’. Who of you has actually been to see the dog? At least let him be treated no different to the recent case of dog Molly.

Beau deserves a new home.

Harper Collins Publisher’s RRP: $34.99 Promotional Price: $29.99 (Available for the month of November)

Barbara Ewing is a New Zealand born, British actress and The Petticoat Men is her eighth novel. If you haven’t heard of her, she’s a real find. Her historical novels are cracking reads and she’s respected within the literary community too – her novel set in 1950s New Zealand, A Dangerous Vine, was long listed for the Orange Prize. With The Petticoat Men, Ewing goes back to Victorian England when homosexuality was prevalent throughout all social classes. However, hypocrisy was also rife; so while married men conducted affairs with women not their wives and bishops disappeared for nights on end with beautiful young men who loved to dress as women, they each ran the risk of social ruin and

tractor and Annie’s left pretty much on her own. So she is introduced to all that is wonderful about the country and the people and gradually she realises that she must make some changes in her life, if she’s ever to be happy again.

It’s a lovely light read – less plot driven than some of SarahKate’s previous novels and more travelogue with its lyrical descriptions of different parts of Mumbai. Anyone who has travelled to India – indeed, anyone who dreams of travelling to India - will undoubtedly enjoy reading this love letter to another country from a much loved novelist.

When British writer Ben Elton told his wife and kids that his next novel was going to be about time travel, they were initially underwhelmed. They told him he couldn’t write anything about time travel that hadn’t been done before, but this is a wonderfully original take on the theme.

Elton is fascinated by history and the First World War – understandably given both his grandfathers fought on either side in World War One. Elton has always believed the First World War was the greatest disaster of the 20th century as it was the catalyst for many more disasters. So, as an

Annie has no desire to go to India – far too many people and smells - but when Hugh begs her she realises he’s worried about their marriage too.

criminal conviction. Mattie is a young widow, living with her mother and brother in the family boarding house. She loves Freddie and Ernest, her gentlemen lodgers, who dress up in gowns and wear feathered hats and come back from their evenings out as Fanny and Stella with tales of society balls and encounters with the Prince Regent. But when Fanny and Stella are arrested, Mattie and her family are dragged into court and they face certain ruin. Mattie however is a plucky, intelligent young woman and she is determined to save not only her family’s reputation, but Fanny and Stella as well. Careful research and wonderful characters make this a memorable read.

The Woman Who Stole My Life

Dom Harvey has spared no member of his family in his memoir, Childhood of an Idiot, and yet despite his exposing their foibles and frailties, he’s clearly very close to them all.

This is no misery memoir - Dom was born in 1972, to a working class family living in Levin. Nothing much happens in his life and eventually he grows up and starts working for a local radio station. Granted, it doesn’t sound like the basis for a riveting read; yet Dom Harvey’s inimitable style of storytelling and his ruthless exposure of family secrets will have you laughing out loud.

If he succeeds in his mission, he will avert the First World War and all the horrors associated with it. But what happens if he sets in motion an even worse global disaster? Thought provoking, page turning and just a little bit depressing – although New Zealand gets a couple of honourable mentions as an enlightened society. Highly recommended.

getting their leaks fixed. We applaud these efforts and encourage people to keep up the good work over the coming months, as we use most water during summer.

“Being careful with water during this peak period will keep bills down as much as possible and delay the need to spend money upgrading our water supply network.”

Mr Cole says water meters have detected hundreds of leaks which, once fixed, have avoided thousands of litres of water being wasted.

“I’ve heard many people say ‘I didn’t know I had a leak until I got a water meter’. Of course meters are just one part of the overall solution to provide a sustainable water supply for Kāpiti.”

Meanwhile, Council will keep working to inform people about the no-cost, easy things they can do to reduce their water use. Water saving tips are at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/water-conservation

Water use (m3/day)

Overall, the district’s water use dropped 25% from April to August compared to the same time last year (as shown in the graph).

“The downward trend in water use is a really exciting development and Council will be working to understand further what it means for our community,” says Mayor Ross Church.

Martyn Cole, Council’s Water & Wastewater Asset Manager says meters have enabled people to manage their water use and identify leaks, as readings show how much water they’re using.

“However the new water charging system only started in July, so we’re all still learning about how we use water and what its value is. I expect it will be some time before water use patterns settle down and we have a clear picture of how we use water across the district. Our understanding will increase as we take more meter readings.

“It’s obvious though, at this early stage, that people are doing a great job of using water wisely and

Watering gardens wisely In general we use way more water outside, so cutting down the amount of water we use on our gardens will have the biggest effect on what we pay for it. Here are some watersaving tips for gardening:

Kate Foley holding James (left) and Jack with Joshua standing in front.

Saving water at home A family of five in Raumati are doing great things to reduce their water use.

Kate Foley, mother to Joshua (7), James (3) and Jack (16 months) says as soon as water meters went in, “we started trying to use less water as we wanted to make changes before water bills came in”.

“The biggest thing we’ve done is to put in a huge rainwater tank. We use it literally every day mainly for watering the garden and when the kids want to have water play.

They’ve drained the tank a couple of times!”

The family were also visited by

Council’s eco-design advisor Richard Morrison.

“The service is invaluable,” Kate says. “Richard is full of knowledge – he did things like check the pressure of our shower and put a gizmo lead weight in our toilet cistern to control how much water each flush uses.

“I’m also using the eco cycle on my washing machine and dishwasher, which I didn’t do before, have

shorter showers and my boys share a bath.

“I think water meters are fair and will help save water. They’ve also discovered heaps of leaks.”

“If everyone does their bit, we shouldn’t run into problems over summer. Most of us try not to use too much electricity and water shouldn’t be any different – we need to conserve our natural resources.”

➢ Check the weather forecast and your soil before you water: • If it’s going to rain in the next few days, let nature water for you.

• Scratch the surface of the soil - if it’s damp underneath, you won’t need to water. ➢ Use a hand-held hose, watering can, drip-feed irrigation system or seep hose on your garden, instead of high water-use sprinklers, if possible. ➢ If you’re using a sprinkler or Seep hoses have seep hose, keep your water millions of pores timer on – a sprinkler can which water the chew through 1 cubic meter of soil drip by drip water per hour! with little or no ➢ Water in the early mornings or evenings to avoid too much evaporation. evaporation by the sun. ➢ Make sure you mulch – it helps keep plant roots cool and traps moisture in, so less water is needed. ➢ Dry sandy soils repel water so it sits on the surface. A wetting agent, such as wettasoil, saturaid or aquatrol, will help the water soak in to the roots. ➢ A healthy lawn will need less water than one poorly maintained: mow your lawn every two weeks, get someone to fill in while you’re on holiday and apply lawn fertiliser - appropriate for your lawn type/location - monthly.

KĀPITI UPDATE

Meeting the climate challenge

Putting the lid on heat loss

Council has taken heed of the UN’s call for bold, decisive action against climate change.

“We believe if we take a lead on reducing our carbon footprint, others will follow,” Councillor Penny Gaylor, Chair of Council’s Environment & Community Development Committee says.

A base year of emissions from Council operations was established in 2009-10. The aim

is to beat this by 45% in 201415. This level of reduction was achieved in the last two years and if the target can be met this year, Council will complete the ‘Emissions Treble’.

Staff are pulling out the stops to make it three in a row! Here are just a few of our initiatives.

Rack off and save fuel!

Council’s building surveyors have responded to the call to come up with ideas to help cut emissions by taking the roof racks off their vehicles.

Racks were originally put on six cars on the assumption staff may need to carry long ladders when conducting building inspections. However, this was never the case.

“In reality there’s always something on site, such as ladders or scaffolding used by builders, to allow inspections to be made,” Building Control Officer Craig Watson says.

Roof racks cause drag, by reducing the aerodynamics of the car.

Savings on fuel could be as much as 10% per vehicle.

Tyre pressure has been another target for the Emissions Treble. Driving with under-inflated tyres increases the amount of fuel used by up to 5%.

An air compressor is a quick way to bring tyres up to the necessary pressure. There is one available at Council’s depot for staff to use, as well as a foot pump at the Civic Building for those wanting more of a work out.

A third fuel-saving element involves expanding the features on Council’s fleet tracking system, TrackIt, to give opportunities to track fuel economy more accurately.

Council drivers are also given basic tips to save fuel including keeping revs down when cruising, maintaining following distances so braking is kept to a minimum and switching off air conditioning if it’s not needed.

These techniques together can reduce fuel usage by a massive 20%.

Additionally, nearly 50 of Council’s most frequent drivers have recently completed efficient-driving training.

Will James (left) and Team Leader Lifeguard Ryan Young put a cover on the hydroslide.

Coastlands Aquatic Centre staff are ‘covering up’ to ensure heat cannot easily escape from the centre’s facilities.

Aquatic Facilities Operations Manager Will James noticed a strong draught, coming through the exit of the hydroslide, was cooling the air in the building at night and wasting energy.

His response was to have a special cover made up to block it.

The facility has put other measures in place that make a big difference to power usage.

Pool covers are put on nightly to retain heat in the pools overnight and staff are encouraged to save energy by switching off lights and equipment when not needed e.g. in plant rooms and the hydroslide.

Civic building gains national attention Council’s Civic Building is achieving national media recognition after being given an excellent rating by NABERSNZ, the energy rating scheme for office buildings.

National magazine NZ Construction News, which targets architects, major construction companies, engineers and Government departments, is featuring the building in its latest edition.

Leigh Ramsey of Blended Fuels (in front of bus) with Otaki College students and teacher who are working on a blend of fuels that will produce less emissions.

WWF award for ‘Energise Otaki’ The ‘Energise Otaki’ project, supported by Council, won a major award from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) last week.

It won the project category at WWF’s inaugural Conservation Innovation Awards which are part of the organisation’s work to support community conservation groups around the country.

“Energise Otaki is a truly innovative project based on a Sewer/Stormwater Supervisor Paul Halliday uses an air compressor to get his tyres to the right pressure.

community seeing their town as a system and how people can work together to reduce their own, and the town’s, environmental footprint,” Judge Devon McLean says.

“It’s inspiring to see such a range of projects designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, supply clean and cheap energy to the townspeople, create jobs and educate kids.”

Earlier in the year, Council won the New Zealand Community and Public Sector awards at the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority Awards, as well as a Green Ribbon Award from the Ministry for the Environment for its achievements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Five things you’ll see in the gym ■ It’s the kids fault ■ I just look at a bacon sandwich and it jumps on my hips.

Mirrors

Like any work place the gym has many different characters who walk through its doors whether it’s staff or members. Here are some of the things I’ve seen and heard in my many years that I’ve been in health and fitness industry.

Excuses

Some things never change, many people feel the need to justify why they are the size they are and use some or all of these excuses.

■ I’m heavy boned ■ Don’t have time to exercise ■ I retain water ■ I have a thyroid problem ■ It’s hereditary

Mirrors were originally put in gyms so people could check their form during complex movements like squats or lunges, to make sure their knees were aligned and their hips weren’t shifting.

Now the mirrors have become an integral part of all health clubs and taking selfies has become a new exercise that helps strengthen your fingertips and proves to your friends on social media that you do really workout.

Fashion

Thirty years ago Jane Fonda sported some amazing gym attire that used to look very uncomfortable and very bright, the head band and leg warmers were

the fashion. The rear of the leotard looked more like a cheese cutter and I’m sure it was horribly uncomfortable. Nowadays many ladies go for the yoga or jogging pants and t-shirt or singlet that bears the logo ‘I squat lots’ or ‘squat till you drop’. Men are jumping on the same fashion wagon with printed t-shirts or singlets with stubbie shorts or track pants that hug the legs like drain pipes.

New fads

Pilates is now a fixture in most gyms and it’s very popular with both men and women because it helps people engage core muscles and strengthen the mid-section. On the downside there is now more people scared of passing wind in public or catching a glimpse of someone’s nether regions if they fail to wear the correct underwear.

Crossfit is also a popular activity amongst wide range of people looking improve there health and fitness. Crossfit enthusiasts are easily spotted at parties as they very rarely go 2 minutes without bringing up there passion for WODs, kipping pullups, burpees or the paleo diet.

Romance

When I was younger the place to meet up with the opposite sex was the pub, now it seems to be the gym.

While back in the day a young mans confidence was brought on by a bottle of beer or two at the local night spot, now it seems the bulging biceps and wash boards abs can bring on that same sort of confidence (who would have thought).

Though romance isn’t easy to come by in the gym and often the

signs for romance can be misread.

When she has her earphones on while walking on the treadmill and appears to be smiling at you, it more often than not turns out that she was laughing at the television (awkward).

Propositioning a lady in the middle of yoga class is also a big no no, as talking to someone in the down dog position is damn right creepy.

That said I have seen many romances blossom in the gym and it’s great to see people share there love of health and fitness, holding hands on the cross trainer and sharing protein shakes in the weight room.

With the changing fitness, one things remains constant.

To get results takes hard work, sweat and motivation.

Embrace the changing face of fitness but go easy on the selfies.

Hundreds enjoy run CLOE WILLETTS

THANK YOU: Participants in this year’s Kapiti Run for Youth, pictured, have helped to fuel support for youth on the coast, with event organisers pleased to have exceeded their $20,000 target.

Organisers of Sunday November 2’s successful Kapiti Run for Youth would like to thank all those who ran or walked in the event, and everyone who got behind supporting the coast’s youth.

With around 400 people having participated individually or as groups, the event has so far achieved the committee’s target of $20,000, with sponsorship remaining open online for another week.

“We are continuing to collect cash donations, and we feel really terrific about this because much work and planning goes on behind the scenes to make an event such as this happen,” organiser and Kapiti Business Projects owner Helene Judge said.

“On behalf of owner and creator of Kapiti Run for Youth Richard Calkin of Web Genuis, Terry Poko of Youth Quest, Richard van Eck of Low Tax Accounting, Peter Jackson of Peter Jackson Plumbing and myself, thank you once again for

your ongoing involvement.

“We believe this event is fundamentally good as youth are close to peoples’ hearts and the fact all participants actually get out and do something meaningful, fun and healthy adds more value to those who choose to sponsor them.”

Winners on the day included Andre Vroon for the 12km run, Cristobal Avila of the M2PP Group for the 6km run, Tania Dally for the 12km walk, and Jocasta Oliver of Gemz Beauty for the 6km walk.

Alliance earns top safety award CLOE WILLETTS Kapiti’s MacKays to Peka Peka Expressway Alliance took out the AWF Group Safety Innovation Award for Large Businesses at the 2014 Construction Health and Safety Awards on Wednesday night.

The New Zealand Transport Agency said the win is “a testament to the superb efforts being undertaken by the expressway construction team to protect the wellbeing of every worker, visitor and member of the public”.

The awards, which acknowledge people, sites and businesses demonstrating excellence in the areas of leadership and innovation, drew light to the M2PP’s stand-out health and safety awareness and engagement programme.

“I’m delighted with the result for the team and the Kapiti Community,” Alliance health, safety and wellbeing manager Tim Barry said.

“The smart technology we’re using is really just the tip of the iceberg and the success of this is really the result of great collaboration

Dressed for the big race

between health and safety, communications, construction and local creative talent.”

M2PP’s use of new media technology in relation to healthy and safety was recognised, which includes smartphones, tablets, YouTube and QR codes to access animated videos.

“I set out to get my very serious messages across in a number of ways, and the use of animation and digital technology has allowed me to add an important thread that cuts across literacy levels and delivers a message in a fun, engaging and environmentally friendly way,” Mr Barry said.

M2PP worked with local animation company The Simmonds Brothers to animate real people from the project, which delivered short training clips designed to keep people safe on site, and are now available on YouTube.

Alliance communications manager Sarah Ropata said Kapiti is “extremely lucky to have such excellent creative talent on the coast”.

“This project is committed to working locally whenever possible.”

Tips for Summer

Drink plenty of water When we are born scientists suggest our bodies are about 75% water and during our adult life the water content of our bodies decreases to about 57%. To keep our skin plump and youthful it is important that we keep ourselves hydrated and listen to the signs our bodies give us when it needs some extra hydration. I call the second layer of the skin – the dermis – “water world” and supplying it with a clean source of water is critical to the appearance of the skin.

Exercise You’re never too old to start a daily exercise routine and summer is a time to start moving and exercising. Try something new like Jazzercise or meet new friends at Kapitis only women only gym at Curves. Your summer body begins today.

Try juicing and making smoothies We tend to forget that plant foods have a high water, vitamin and mineral composition. Try juicing your vegetables or making smoothies with greens and berries to increase the amount of plants, vitamins, minerals and water you consume in a day. Your skin will love you for it!

The sad secret for seemingly perfect family RYAN EDWARDS When I was the tender age of 8, in Mrs Corney’s class at Plimmerton School, there was a girl called Bridget Lyon who was very quiet and very pretty.

Bridget was from a family who had it all — the the windsurfers, the skis, the amazing Nike running shoes, the confidence, and the swagger.

Mum Judy was a teacher with a reputation for professionalism and dedication, and she was often seen running all around the streets of Mana, staying incredibly fit.

Fast forward 31 years, and that family that had it all — now have it all against them. What I didn’t know back then was that the Lyon family knew that time was against them, and that they were cramming everything they could into life before the time bomb that it is Huntington’s Disease — blew up.

I read with great sadness one day about what Judy Lyon was going through, so I got in touch with Bridget via the wonders of social media. Through that contact, I discovered that Bridget and her Australian husband Geoff had made a documentary about Huntington’s Disease, and I knew I wanted to be involved.

After meeting up with Bridget at a cafe in Wellington, I began to

understand the enormity of Huntington’s — both in her history and in her future. I sat down at the piano and wrote a song that tells the story of her great great grandfather sailing from Aberdeen to New Zealand, a story that is about fear and grief, but mostly it’s about a family’s love.

Long story short, the documentary is called The Inheritance, and the song I wrote and performed is called The Gift, and this searingly honest piece of film screened recently at Waikanae’s Shoreline Cinema. It is a tough watch. There are few dry eyes in the house when the lights go up. Your heart bleeds for the Lyon family. But at the same time, there is hope.

The Inheritance is a wonderful documentary, and it was a privilege to be able to do my bit.

The film will be screened wherever there is demand and a budget to make it possible. It is being hailed by those involved in the fight against Huntington’s as ground-breaking, and the goal is to get as many people to see this film, and understand this cruel disease. Bridget Lyon, you have come a long, long way from pigtails and prettiness, you are one of the bravest people I know.

Little support for amalgamation The results of a new survey questioning more than 600 people in the Wellington region shows a lack of support for amalgamation of local government across the region. The survey indicates that there is little public appetite for one u¨ber-council from Miramar to Masterton to Kapiti.

The survey, commissioned by Hutt City, says that it shows more than 75 per cent of residents in Wellington City, Hutt City,

Porirua, Upper Hutt, Kapiti and Wairarapa wanted council boundaries to remain unchanged.

In the Wellington region in total, only 18 per cent supported a single council for the Wellington region. In Kapiti, 61 residents were surveyed, with 26 per cent supporting a Wellington-wide council and 61 per cent seeking the status quo.

This illustrates that a two-tier super-city proposal would

What’s On...

Whitireia and WelTec join forces

Supported by

The Council of Whitireia Community Polytechnic (Whitireia) and the Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTec) have been considering the next stage for the strategic partnership of these two highly successful and well-regarded Wellington region institutions.

Council chair Roger Sowry said, “WelTec and Whitireia have partnered formally since the beginning of 2012. Over the period, they have made significant gains working together for the benefit of students.”

These include a single council driving the strategic direction of both institutions and taking a Wellington Region-wide approach to education provision and a single academic board and aligned quality management system, which will ultimately see seamless education delivery and transferability for students between the two institutions.

It will also include the teaching of programmes at each other’s campuses, significant decisions on the creation of joint centres of excellence in the creative industries and in health and wellbeing, the creation of a shared services business unit, which has driven efficiencies and savings in procurement and IT services, and

‘

WelTec and Whitireia have partnered formally since the beginning of 2012. Over the period, they have made significant gains working together for the benefit of students.

’

ROGER SOWRY Council of Whitireia chair

a joint international marketing strategy for Wellington, which has been extended to other tertiary and secondary providers.

On reviewing these achievements and considering the type of leadership structure needed for the next stage of development and growth, a decision has been made to recruit a single chief executive to lead both institutions.

In making this decision, the council has reaffirmed its commitment to having two strong and independent tertiary education institutions.

In 2011 when Whitireia and WelTec considered the question of how to work more closely to provide greater benefit for

students and industry, the council decided to depart from tradition and adopt a new and innovative model of a strategic partnership.

Nearly three years later, evidence of the achievements and success of the partnership supports this decision, achieved without compromising major developments undertaken separately by both institutions and in an increasingly challenging operating environment.

Mr Sowry said, “What has been achieved would not have happened without the formal strategic partnership and the commitment of council and senior managers, particularly the leadership of the two chief executives, who have each taken their institution to new heights of achievement and performance.

“To further strengthen the partnership and deliver greater gains in this next phase, it is considered that a move to a single leadership model is appropriate, while retaining the distinctive culture, style, identity and integrity of each institution.”

The council will now move to recruit one chief executive responsible for both institutions.

It is expected to have this process underway this year and completed in the first part of 2015.

New research from Victoria University of Wellington is showing the extent to which information technology is becoming culturally important for Maori.

For her master of information management, Pikihuia Reihana investigated what she calls ‘Nga¯ti Pukamata’, or the ‘Facebook Tribe’, a virtual iwi of Maori spread across the globe, who maintain contact with their cultural roots through social media.

Pikihuia says whakapapa is a central component of Maori identity. “With Maori making fewer trips back to the marae for a variety of reasons, I wanted to find out whether social networks enhance or undermine the authority of traditional whakapapa.” She set about her research by becoming actively involved in whanau and whakapapa groups on Facebook.

“Many marae, hapu and iwi have set up dedicated pages where people can communicate and find out how they’re connected — be that through kaupapa or whanau.

“Social networks help Maori to maintain links with their heritage, while also creating an alternative to the oral tradition of Maori whakapapa that usually takes place on the marae. It’s another way to maintain relationships when everyone’s lives are so busy.”

Pikihuia says as Ngati Pukumata and virtual iwi on social media grow, some important questions arise. “For instance, will Facebook provide a new kind of authority in the origin and recording of whakapapa? What effect might this have on Maori cultural practices that have traditionally taken place on the marae?

“We are absolutely evolving — our customs and protocols are moving into virtual space. I was at a marae recently and whanau overseas were able to be Skyped in — technology can create a kind of physical presence, proving that location is irrelevant.” Pikihuia hopes her research will shed light on how Maori identity could evolve in the future, as new technologies are embraced.

Ian was raised by a single Mum and never knew his biological father. His schooling was marked by turbulent times, often involving fighting and getting into lots of trouble and resulting in being expelled from college.

He came to Youthquest and was taken on the six-week programme (‘bootcamp’ with eight more youths for five days in the bush, followed by another five days at Youthquest, Hawkes Bay, being taught domestic duties and learning the benefits of routines and values for himself and others.)

After that he came back to Kapiti to complete his programme in personal, social and community skills. Ian then was mentored for a further twelve months and placed in a number of part-time jobs.

Ultimately he found his own full-time job as a roofer, which he has maintained, and is supporting a young family.

Youthquest is a charitable trust that works with at risk youth in our communities, who are often referred by the Police, schools or Youth Court. Each person participates in a full time course, followed by ongoing mentoring for a minimum of a year. The success rate is staggering with 72% of those that have been on the programmes either working full-time, having returned to college, or are continuing their further education.

One of Youthquest’s ongoing challenges is to provide a link to full-time training, apprenticeships or employment. That is the purpose behind this initiative. We are seeking support from businesses to sponsor a youth along their journey. Perhaps this could be done in terms of industry sectors - for example a number of electrical or plumbing organisations could club together and sponsor one youth into their trade. It costs $5000 a year to support each youth.

(This compares to $90.000 p a. to keep someone in prison!)

Rotary Club of Kapiti and Youthquest invite you to come along and hear more about Youthquest, learn how it works and meet some of the graduates:

Photos backdrop to poetry Mahara Gallery is set for a busy month, with this weekend’s Kapiti Arts Trail among its lineup of events. Open from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, Mahara Gallery invites all art lovers to drop by on their journey around the coast, for a glimpse at an innovative poetry and photography collaboration.

With refreshments provided and pianist Gilbert Haisman set to play during the day, Mahara Gallery will see New Zealand poet, writer and researcher Kerry Hines present a poetry reading from his new book Young Country

the Railways’ stores branch that took him around the country.

With Wellington’s Alexander Turnbull Library now holding the principal archive of Williams’ work, mainly in the form of glassplate negatives, contemporary photographer Wayne Barrar was given permission to use scans of the photographs for the Young Country project.

Barrar, an associate professor at Massey University’s School of Art, has a longstanding interest in the history of photography, and will have his work on show in Young Country until December 14.

on Sunday at 2pm, which was written as a component of the gallery’s current Young Country exhibition.

Young Country offers viewers a look at photographs taken by photographer William Williams between 1882-1906, which have been curated and presented alongside poems written by Hines for the exhibition.

English-born William Williams, who died in 1949 and was recognised as a keen hiker, canoeist and cyclist, immigrated to New Zealand at 22. He embarked on a lifelong career with

Doc visits made sweeter Young children in Kapiti visiting the doctor in the leadup to Christmas could receive a little Christmas stocking to “help the medicine go down”. A total of 150 Christmas stockings have been crocheted by Joanne Ruscoe of Waikanae, sized to take a mini slab of chocolate.

New Zealand chocolate company Whittakers, on seeing the little stockings, provided specially wrapped Christmas mini slabs to go into the Christmas stockings.

Joanne crocheted the little stockings during the winter months and while on holiday in

the United Kingdom, visiting her son and daughter-in-law.

“Often when travelling on planes, buses and trains, I found that little red and white Christmas stockings were the perfect antidote for little children upset by long journeys.

On giving them a little Christmas stocking I noticed that almost immediately they became quiet and content, exploring the stocking with their little fingers and in many cases smiling, perhaps with thoughts of Christmas.”

The decision as to what to do with the growing number of

Christmas stockings wasn’t difficult.

With the help of Sue Wilson, a neighbour and local doctor, and other doctors on the Kapiti Coast, the Christmas stockings are destined for youngsters visiting their surgeries.

Sue Wilson, said the idea was a brainwave.

“Patients needing to speak with us can sometimes be distracted by their small children. Unwell children can also be upset while being examined. I can see these little Christmas stockings working wonders.”

Fall prevention part of Zumba fun A community-based Zumba class targeted at active adults and elderly is taking place in Kapiti on Mondays from November 10 to December 15, with fall prevention a feature among the fun.

Licensed Zumba fitness instructor Zelda Edwards is taking the Zumba Gold classes from 11am to 11.45am at the Te

Newhanga Kapiti Community Centre, located at 15 Ngahina Street, Paraparaumu.

At just $3 a class, Zelda encourages people to “come and meet great people while shaking it at your own pace”.

“Have fun and enjoy easy-tofollow moves, with no dance experience necessary,” she said.

“Bring a small towel and drink bottle and expect to leave the room with a smile on your face.

“All ages and fitness levels welcome!”

Kline shines as comedy turns to drama REVIEW FILM: My Old Lady RATED: M DURATION: 1 hour 47 minutes The storyline hinges on a peculiarity of French real estate sales. The movie begins with Kevin Kline’s character, a put-upon aging American named Mathias (though he prefers a more casual mode of nomenclature, for reasons that become clear over time), coming into Paris full of hope and excitement: his late father, while denying his considerable fortune to his son, has willed him an apartment in Paris.

Being penniless and with no prospects, his scheme to sell the apartment for a tidy sum and goof off for the rest of his days hits

a snag right away: there’s an old woman living in the place, and she has no intention of leaving. Indeed, she is not even required to leave. That’s where the peculiarity in French real estate comes in.

The apartment, which could fetch millions of Euros for Mathias, is a “viager”.

The old woman, Mathilde (Maggie Smith), an Englishwoman long based in France, was the apartment’s prior owner; the new “owner” can buy the place for a song, pay the prior owner a monthly fee, and inherit the place free and clear once the inhabitant dies.

The desperate Mathias immediately starts calculating the likely date of Mathilde’s death, while Mathilde snootily looks down her nose at failure-in-life Mathias.

“I’m 90,” she admits early on. “Subtlety is not something that interests me.”

Turns out, according to her superirritated live-in daughter Chloe (Kristin Scott-Thomas), she’s 92, but what’s a couple of years between antagonists.

The antagonism, of course, has layers, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to guess that Mathilde is not just someone with whom Mathias’ dad had a business arrangement.

These developments turn My Old Lady from a comedy of manners and errors into a domestic drama of not inconsiderable depth.

My Old Lady is pretty compelling viewing, mostly thanks to Kline, who gives a career-high performance here.

The lithe actor has spent much of his film career being pretty bright and breezy, and here he starts from a point of glib confidence that crumbles into bluff pretty quickly, and goes to darker places than he’s depicted in recent memory. It’s a revelation and a pleasure.

What’s On...

School to get a little Retro for gala There’s a been a real buzz about the Raumati South School of late — with their annual gala only a week or so away — and its not only the sausages that are set to sizzle on the big day.

Live music turns a fundraising event into a festival, and with Kapiti’s ever-popular Retro Diva’s headlining (pictured), the music will be hot!

Retro Divas are a dazzling cover band that have been entertaining audiences around New Zealand for the past five years, performing songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s , featuring artists such as Abba, The Beatles, Tina Turner and The Bee Gees.

Jess Teo, band member — and gala committee member — has been busy with the Diva’s regular gigs and is also progressing nicely in New Zealand’s X-factor with her new group ‘je.le.se’. Busy times then for the local celebrity!

The gala has something for everyone, young and old. Gala committee chairman Pete Mallalieu believes they’re on to a winner.

“As PTA chairman I’m proud to be part of a great team that is dedicated to working with the wider school community to

provide better facilities, greater opportunities and make a real difference to our kid’s lives.

“We’re really excited to be putting on this year’s gala and with a great mix of old favourites such as bouncy castles, spin the wheel, great stalls, candy floss and toffee apples with some new ‘beach theme’ activities such as pony rides and a water slide not to mention a great food court and an outstanding line up of live entertainment — it should be beach party to remember!”

The school is raising funds for a new play area for the middle school (for 7-9year olds), with its sights firmly set on raising enough money to enable them to install a giant climbing frame early next year.

Mr Mallalieu says: “Playgrounds are crucial to children’s development and to encourage active play and I know having a dedicated playground for the middle school will be a huge hit with the kids.”

The food on offer includes a hangi and yummy hot chips, the stalls are offering bargains on books, clothes, toys, cakes and plants, and there is fun to be had all over the school site, including face painting, 4x4 vehicle rides,

VIBRANT: The Retro Divas.

Kapa Haka on stage, and much more — with ETPOS available for patron’s convenience.

What is clear is this happy, bustling school is looking forward to welcoming the

community on the 22nd, and making it a special day for everyone.

Situated amongst the towering Norfolk pines within a quiet cul de sac just minutes walk from the Links golf course & the main beach precinct, this is a home that offers both form & function.

3 1 1 FOR SETTLERS AN ORIGINAL 1930'S COTTAGE

This beautifully maintained 1950's character home has elevated views, all day sun & an outlook towards Kapiti Island. The interior has retained many original features & is configured as 4 double bedrooms (each with good storage), a light, sunny lounge room with a feature fireplace & good indoor/outdoor flow, a spacious eat-in kitchen, a separate laundry, a separate toilet & bathroom which has a bath & a separate shower. The pretty section of around 864m² features 2 separate single garages, a good sized deck for entertaining, cottage gardens & flat lawn leading to a rear terrace garden which has mature native & deciduous flowering trees & shrubs. Great value in Paraparaumu Beach.

This charming cottage has a story to tell. Believed to be in the latter part of the 1930's at a time when character architecture, skilled trades people & NZ heart timbers all came together to create homes to last. Later moved to spare it from demolition to a sundrenched spot at the base of the Eastern Hills in Paraparaumu. Here you'll find a spacious 3 bedroom cottage which has undergone a sympathetic makeover, preserving its tradition & sense of history but with all the modern conveniences of contemporary living. This pretty cottage offers fantastic indoor outdoor living with a choice of sundecks to chill out on & a feature outdoor bar & entertaining area. The very useable and private section of around 580sqm has a variety of pretty cottage garden planting and secure off road parking. Situated for easy access to native bush walks, sandy beaches and public transport, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a great buy and a worthy long term investment.

High hopes for Kiwi jetpack

45

Glenn Martin’s company is attracting attention from around the world, writes Paddy Wood

P

LENTY of people grow up dreaming of their own jetpack. Glenn Martin actually built one.

Sixteen years and 12 prototypes later, the New Zealander reckons his flying machine is all but ready for public use.

His company, Martin Aircraft, is looking to raise $25 million in a November ASX listing.

The first orders are expected to be penned next year, with the first models zooming around the skies within two years.

But at an estimated $215,000 a pop, they won’t be for the man in the street.

Instead, they’re designed for the “first responder” market: paramedics, firefighters, border patrol.

“We’ve had paramedics who’ve come to us and said they work in large cities, and when there’s an accident they have trouble getting there because traffic’s so bad,” Martin says.

“The advantage of this is that it can land in very small spaces — much smaller than a helicopter can land in — right beside an accident.”

The company has had a “deluge” of inquiries from

Jet pack inventor Glenn Martin

LIFT-OFF: Some “first responder” workers such as paramedics may soon be utilising Glenn Martin’s technology to save lives. companies, governments, and even the odd millionaire playboy, Martin says.

He declined to name names, but said 80 per cent of inquiries had come from the US. The latest prototype, viewed

by AAP, is less of a jetpack than a personal rotor copter.

It’s a carbon-fibre frame housing a two-litre, 200 horsepower petrol engine, which powers two large rotors positioned either side of the standing pilot.

It can carry 120kg and fly at up to 74km/h for 30 minutes at altitudes of 1000m. The pilot

navigates via two joysticks positioned next to each hand.

Martin, who formerly worked in pharmaceuticals, says he dreamed of his own jetpack from an early age.

“I was brought up in the 1960s, saw the space programme, always wanted a jetpack, saw jetpacks on The Jetsons, Lost in Space, Thunderbirds.

“But a few years later I found that I was 21, at university, and there were no jetpacks.

“After a night drinking at a pub with a few mates, complaining, I decided to go away and research it.”

To his dismay, the rocketbased technology at the time would fly jetpacks for less than 30 seconds — and a pilot had to weigh less than 70kg.

“I’m 100kg and wanted to fly longer than 26 seconds.”

By 1998 he’d built a prototype in his garage and was confident it could lift a human off the ground.

So he strapped his wife to it.

It worked, and he gave up his day job.

By 2004, after a couple more prototypes, a New Zealand venture capitalist firm agreed to pour several million dollars into

the project.

Today, the firm has 17 employees, and has attracted interest from the likes of Google co-founder Larry Page.

Martin plans to show the aircraft off to potential Australian clients next year.

Before it flies, the craft needs to be cleared by national aviation regulators. It’s built to fit within the “microlight” category of craft, which includes the smallest planes and powered paragliders.

Certification will first be sought from the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand, which will smooth its certification in other countries.

A spokesman for the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority says the organisation had met with Martin last year and were aware of the jetpack.

“We’re watching with interest,” the spokesman says.

Too good to miss

Have your say on bridge project There are some exciting developments for local transport within our region underway.

The future of the Whirokino Trestle and Manawatu River Bridge is now open for public consultation, with an information day being held tomorrow in Foxton.

These upgrades are part of the Government’s accelerated regional roading programme, which is a $212 million push to advance locally important state highway projects, announced by the Minister of Transport earlier this year.

These are key infrastructural upgrades for our region.

Both bridges are nearing their use-by date with the 1.1km Whirokino Trestle built in 1938 and the Manawatu River Bridge in 1942.

Replacement bridges are long overdue because of safety concerns and constraints carrying heavy loads.

There are four options proposed, and I encourage people to get along and have your say. The public information day is

Should I take Co Enzyme Q10? (Part 2) Most people make all the Co enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) they need. Some however should take extra as a supplement.

CoQ10 is made in your liver from the same enzymes that make cholesterol. This is why drugs that block cholesterol can restrict CoQ10 by as much as 50%.This can reduce the amount of energy made especially in organs and muscles and is why I recommend people on cholesterol medication take 100-200mg of rapid absorption CoQ10 each day.

I have just spoken to a client who had experienced a lot of muscle pain and stiffness while on statins. After just a week on CoQ10 the pain had completely gone however I generally find it takes 1-2 months to restore muscle function and energy.

What makes CoQ10 so special is its ability to carry electrons.

This enables CoQ10 to move hydrogen electrons within your cell mitochondria to make energy molecules called ATP. This ATP is how your body works. Inadequate CoQ10 levels reduce energy output and this is felt as tiredness and often as muscle weakness.

This ability to carry electrons also makes CoQ10 an excellent antioxidant.It can donate to free radicals their missing electrons preventing them from stealing electrons leading to cell and tissue damage. In particular it protects circulating LDL cholesterol from being damaged by free radicals. This is the first step in the process of forming plaques that block arteries.

There is some good research suggesting increasing CoQ10 can be helpful nutritional support for people with neurodegenerative problems such as Parkinson’s.

I will generally add additional CoQ10 either as the patented CoQsol® or my specialised MTQ10. Most people feel a real difference within 1-2 months.

Feel free to call me if you want more information.

Auction raises thousands Well over $3000 was raised at the Memorial Art Auction held at Paraparaumu RSA on Friday. The event was a fundraiser for the memorial gates upgrade.

Six artists created artworks and lots of people bidded. The auctioneer was Nu Taramai.

Mayor Ross Church organised a quiz.

Three of the artists are involved in this weekend’s Kapiti Arts Trail. Graeme Harris and Hugh Evans will have artwork displayed at the Kapiti Arts and Crafts Centre, in Matai Rd, Raumati Beach, while George Thompson is having artwork displayed at Nga Purapura in Otaki.

PRECISION: Graeme Harris adds some detail to his artwork.

PHOTO: KAP101114SPLPAINTING2

What is CoQsol®?

• CoQsol® is a patented rapid absorption form of CoQ10.

• CoQsol® is clinically proven to increase CoQ10 absorption and maintains blood levels over twice that of other forms.

• Each softgel contains 100mg CoQ10, 100IU of natural vitamin E and 2567 1U of natural mixed carotenoids.

Why supplement with CoQsol®?

• CoQ10 is an important antioxidant that can protect ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol.

• CoQ10 is an essential part of our energy conversion - much like spark plugs in your car engine.

• CoQ10 levels decline with age and can be restricted by some medications and health problems.

What does CoQsol® do?

• Supports heart muscle function and normal heart rhythm • Promotes good circulation • Helps maintain normal blood pressure • Promotes normal, healthy energy release • Added vitamin E supports cardiovascular health • Added lutein and zeaxanthin supports eye health • Provides extra CoQ10 for those on statin medication

Childhood illnesses help build immunity My 2-year-old son started day care six months ago, an exciting step in our lives. However, after his first few weeks he started to get sick and run-down all the time. I understand this is a part of life but I feel like he is never really well anymore and my husband and I end up sick all the time as a result of him bringing germs home. Is he too young to start taking multivitamins and is there a natural supplement that could help boost his immunity?

Unfortunately, this is quite a common issue. First, your son’s immune system is still developing and he hasn’t yet built up the immunity an older child or adult would have. Also, he is coming into contact with a lot of other children who are also experiencing “immune challenges” in a confined environment where they are playing close together, putting things in their mouths, sneezing over each other, and so on. So germs are easily spread.

It’s not surprising you and your husband are coming down with viruses — think of it as an opportunity for you all to strengthen your immune

systems!

At 2, an age-appropriate multi and a fish oil would be the two core staple supplements for him to take every day and will give him the ingredients he needs to build up his natural immunity.

As for fish oils, I would choose a liquid cod liver oil supplement as it naturally contains vitamins A and D, which both support the immune system as well as having high levels of the omega-3 DHA for brain development which is happening at a great rate at age 2, the DHA will also support his learning.

A good quality cod liver oil that is very fresh will not taste fishy, making it easy for him to take. In addition to the core products you could use a liquid herbal formulation designed specifically for children (check that it’s alcohol-free) to support his immune system when he is experiencing a ‘‘challenge’’.

There are many options available.

Some help with symptoms of a cold — such as a runny nose, sore throat, earache — and also contain anti-viral agents.

Others work to quickly boost

SUPPLEMENTS: Multivitamins and fish oil will help. the immune system at the onset of a virus.

If you want something to give him as a prevention measure for short periods — such as the coldest months of winter — consider echinacea.

Because he is only 2, I wouldn’t condone doing this for months on end as it’s best to let

his immune system develop.

All those colds and viruses he’s getting are actually an important part of his immune system development, it’s just a fine balancing act keeping it in check so he’s not constantly sick.

For you and your husband it is also important you take at least a multi every day and extra

zinc and Vitamin C when you do come down with a virus.

You could also take cod liver oil as your omega-3 option for the extra immune support it provides. And you could consider taking something daily as a preventive measure.

Look for a herbal formulation specifically designed for daily immune support or just go for echinacea by itself.

Naturopaths worry if people never get a cold or flu as it means their immune systems are not working properly, so next time you get one be thankful your immune system has the strength and ability to create a response to a virus.

It’s also a wonderful detox.

An Open Invitation to “Our Service of Memories”

A warm invitation is extended to the greater Otaki Community to join with us for our Annual Service of Memories.

Leading up to Christmas is a difficult time for those who have lost a loved one and this service is to remember and comfort others in our community.

The service will be approximately 25 minutes and will be followed by a light supper.

All Welcome!

Can Funerals be Eco friendly?

Funeral rituals and practices were Eco friendly since time began, but modern society has changed some of these practices. More and more people are now becoming at least a little bit eco focused and so too are many of the funeral options being made available.

The first of 3 quick examples are Natural Burials. We have a Natural Burial section now on the Kapiti coast at the Otaki Cemetery. This is a special area where graves are dug shallow and filled with organic soil to return the deceased to the elements. A tree is planted on the grave and no lasting memorial is allowed. Eventually the area will return to native bush. The casket must be a natural product (not man-made) such as pine.

by Andrew Malcolm The second example ties in with this, that of natural caskets.

There are many pine and other natural product caskets now supplied to your funeral director, and most of these can be purchased at a similar price to non natural caskets such as MDF board.

The third Eco friendly area is that of preparing the deceased.

Embalming, often seen as using a large amount of chemical, is now a modern process and uses very low percentages of chemical, in fact totally organic embalming is available and so too are other similar processes such as a process called Ecoprep.

With these and many more Eco friendly funeral options available please contact a Funeral Home listed who can help

Slowly resocialise hurt dogs We have a 2-year-old German Shepherd bitch Stella, who was attacked by the dog next door when she was 4 months old.

Her tongue was torn and she had an operation to stitch it together. When she was 2 she was attacked by a friend’s dog and another dog on the beach.

Stella wasn’t hurt, but she doesn’t like any dogs now.

When we take her for walks on her lead she barks and growls at other dogs. We want to socialise her, but are concerned she may attack a dog in defence. We took her to puppy training and dog training sessions when she was younger, but she didn’t like dogs in her face. Stella also jumps on people when they visit, but is very loving once she settles. She barks with excitement every time we hint at going outside. She has a good-sized yard to play in but runs around barking, especially at the fence of the dog that attacked her. How can we rid her fear and aggression of other dogs and settle her excitement?

You’re definitely not alone — this is a very common problem we treat at our behavioural clinic — we have seven in clinic at the moment for this problem.

Dog-to-dog aggression often has two causes, as is probably the case here. This first is not enough socialisation with other dogs during the formative socialisation period when the puppy is 2 to 4 months old.

The second usual cause is bad experiences with other dogs, as Stella has had. You’ve obviously got a good understanding of dogs, because you’re right, we now need to resocialise her — it’s

checking and saying “No” if you need to.

Work with friendly males first, then build up to working with females as they will be harder for her. Females fight females and males fight males in dog behaviour, unless they are badly malsocialised or traumatised as Stella may be.

Continue to find friendly new dogs to do this training with, and it will go a long way in making a difference to how she reacts with dogs she sees out and about. If you have an experienced handler to help, use them.

Doggy day care with experienced people can help.

Good luck with that, give me a call if you are still battling.

usually easiest to show you in person, but I hope these few tips will help you get the gist.

First, find some friendly dogs to work her with and socialise with, then arm yourself with the tools you need: I’d suggest a nylon slip collar for her to wear, a clicker and a pouch filled with high value food (anything that Stella really loves). I won’t go into all the fine details of how to perform clicker training, as you can check out my website for instructions — markvette.com Going head to head with a new dog will seem threatening to her, so try to present the new dog rearfirst to her. You’ll probably need a hand — one person to hold Stella on her lead, and the other to manage the other dog and present it’s bum for Stella to inspect.

Speak nicely to her as you approach the other dog, and click

Once she’s managed this, slowly allow them to make headto-head contact and continue to click and reward her for being friendly. If she is growling or aggressive, check her firmly using the slip lead by pulling on it

and say “No!” Make sure the check is effective, not too much not too little — you want it to be firm so that she knows it’s not acceptable behaviour but of course we don’t want to be too rough. What we are trying to do is reward positive responses with a click and a treat, and only

Hedge relishes role in Phoenix reserves RYAN EDWARDS Andy Hedge, of Peka Peka, has recently been unveiled as the manager of the Wellington Phoenix reserve team.

Formerly talent development manager for New Zealand Football, Hedge can’t wait to start coaching the team that will play in the ASB Premiership.

“It’s a dream job for me,” he said.

“A reserve team is vital for the Phoenix future success and I am delighted to be a part of it.

“Clubs need a second team to help bring on young players but, just as important, is keeping the pros fresh when they aren’t in the first team for whatever reason.

“It is hard for them to keep match ready if they are just training or playing friendlies.

“They need to be playing for points and trying hard to prove to Ernie that they should be in the first team squad.”

The father of two football-mad boys received a call from Phoenix A-league coach Ernie Merrick asking him if he’d be interested in such a role, and Hedge’s response was immediate.

“It was a no-brainer.

“The opportunity to move from putting in a plan for player development to working with the next generation of professionals was just too good to turn down.”

While excited at the chance to make a difference at this level, he is disappointed that he couldn’t see

NEW ROLE: Andy Hedge has a new football role.

the programmes he has been working on for the past two years bear fruit. “I’ve been writing and implementing the programmes that will see young players having every chance of success, and this role means it’s not quite there yet.

“But it’s in good hands and it’s going to get there.”

The new role means that instead of working from home and travelling to football camps around New Zealand, he will be

commuting to Newtown and spending most weekends attending games.

“The thought of the commute isn’t too bad.

“And to be honest, when I come home at night, I look at where we’re living and the commute becomes so worthwhile.”

He will have an ongoing role at New Zealand Football as part of the increasing relationship between the Wellington Phoenix and the national body.

Players for the team will be sourced from the Phoenix’s A-League side, the Football School of Excellence and the Wellington Phoenix Football Academy.

Ernie Merrick will oversee the programme and Phoenix assistant coach Chris Greenacre will assist Hedge in setting the team up and putting Merrick’s programme in place.

New Zealand Football community director Cameron Mitchell says Hedge's move into what is a important role with the Phoenix is a positive step.

“As talent development manager for New Zealand Football, Andy has played a key role in shaping the pathway for our young players moving towards that level of the game. His appointment will ensure we're able to maintain a strong link with the Phoenix which will help us continue to prepare the next generation of talented players for the challenge of professional football.”

Life experience breeds success RYAN EDWARDS Shanon Mahu is a coach with a difference. A talented netball player in her own right, Shanon, 22, coached three age-group teams to varying success this year, a contribution which was acknowledged with the award for Kapiti region coach of the year.

The former Kenakena and Kapiti College student coached the Kapiti Year 7 rep side, the triumphant Kenakena Kauri A team, and was the assistant coach of the Kapiti College Junior A side. Shanon says the secret for coaching success comes from more than nettling knowledge.

“Life experience has helped me become a good coach. I’ve been through situations in life which have shown me what it’s like to go through adversity, to have to dig deep. I bring that understanding to the game, and it helps me to build better relationships with my players.”

Losing her father at the age of 15, Shanon made choices that made the success she is enjoying today look unlikely.

“Looking back now at where I was when my dad died, I have no idea how I got here. I made the choice not to think. I just did the drinking and the smoking and the getting involved with boys.

“I had a hole in my heart, and I thought that a relationship would repair it.

“Then when they broke up, I

‘

Netball is my total passion. I always want to be playing, and even though some have suggested I could make it as a player, coaching young girls is what I love doing most.

’

SHANON MAHU

discovered that the hole was twice as big.

“Realising that was hard, but looking back, I’m happy to have gone through that, because I’m stronger for it.”

Her journey back involved choosing different friends, giving up the damaging party lifestyle and giving back through netball.

“Netball is my total passion.

“I always want to be playing, and even though some have suggested I could make it as a player, coaching young girls is what I love doing most.”

Looking to the future, Shanon is excited that her options are so wide open.

“We could go to Tauranga and enjoy a bigger place, but I am also happy right where I am, as long as I’ve got netball — it keeps me sane!”

New strategy aimed at junior golfers RYAN EDWARDS Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club has recently undertaken a thorough review of its junior programme and has a new strategy to encourage young locals to get involved.

The club is providing coaching clinics which teach kids the basics of golf in a fun, friendly environment, a foundation which will take golfers from beginners to developers right through to the elite level.

Part of this focus on golf has been the appointment of a convenor of selectors.

Ray Jones, a former club junior, has taken on the role. “I grew up on the back of the back of the 14th green, and for me the golf course was really just an extension of my back yard.

“Having moved my family back to the area, and with my son also playing the game, I couldn’t be happier, and I’m excited about helping youngsters here to develop a lifelong love of the game.”

Club captain Glen Mitchell believes

the cost for a year demonstrates great value. “The $147 annual cost would be lucky to cover a term’s worth of many other activities young people are involved with today.

Golf is not elite, and it’s not overly expensive, and importantly, it fosters self-discipline, fairness, sportsmanship and respect.

Mitchell believes that while it would be nice to produce the next Michael Campbell, Lydia Ko or Danny Lee, the goal is to develop a group of junior golfers who enjoy the challenge the game presents and are driven by being the best they can be.

Coach Kevin Smith says the kids are already getting the golfing bug.

“I think some kids had the impression that golf was a boring sport where you simply bashed a little white ball around without purpose but with teaching methods that include lots of games and healthy competition these perceptions quickly been broken down and you can see and hear the kids’ excitement”.

Five chase top spots In the Tommy’s business house premiership tennis grade after four rounds there are five teams vying for the final two positions.

In joint first place at the moment is Precise Print (last year’s playing through champions) and Solar Zone on 20 points each.

Not too far back is Gil-Plans, Raumati Fish Supply and The Builders.

In near wintery conditions last Wednesday night it was Solar Zone that took out a tightly fought battle four sets to two over the Printers.

Meanwhile the Raumati Fish boys

made their intentions clear beating the slightly more favoured Gil-Plans again by the same margin.

The Builders cleaned up the Finman boys 6-0 while David Reid homes took care of Harris Builders 4-2.

In the championship grade it was The Raumati Randoms edging out the top of the table clash against B Balanced Bowen Therapy in another closely fought tie.

Different Strokes continued their winning way beating Tailors Tribe 6-0 and now sharing the top two positions with the Randoms in what now looks like a twohorse race.

Todd raring to go in Jaguar racer RYAN EDWARDS This weekend Todd Moffat will have the drive of his life in an very rare Jaguar race car at the MG Classic event at Manfeild. The car is a Jaguar YK120 — a V12 quad turbo with a top power output of 1000hp, and Moffat is looking forward to putting himself to the test around the famous Manawatu track in a machine that is the only one of its kind in New Zealand.

“The car is unbelievably quick. I had two full days’ testing at Hampton Downs, and my lap times were good, without me actually giving it everything.

“This is a pretty amazing opportunity to race this car on my home track.”

Moffat, a spraypainter originally from Wainuiomata, has petrol in his blood.

“My dad Bill was famous for trials and motocross before getting into speedway racing in the late 70s.

“My brother Grant and myself started in speedway in the 80s, and I’m still going!”

The career highlights for Moffat were coming second in the 2003 NZ Super Saloon Car Championship and driving in the last Wellington Street race in 1996 in a Commodore V8. Since 2004, he’s been driving his father’s 1971 Ford Escort RS2000.

With motorsport being such an expensive pursuit, Moffat laughs at the suggestion that to be involved you have to have a lot of money.

“New Zealand’s not like other countries. Because we’re small, there aren’t as many sponsorship opportunities, so we’ve always just done it ourselves. My dad’s an amazing motor mechanic, I’m good at the bodywork and spraypainting, and my brother was always taking care of the business side of things. We got there by knowing good people, working hard and loving what we do.”

Moffat will be cheered on by his son Josh, who has been racing motocross since age 5, and stepson Jordan Russ, a motocross and ministock speedway enthusiast.

“It’s going to be a big moment this weekend. I’ve been on at the owner of the car for ages to give me a drive, and finally I get my chance.

“It’s an exceptional car, and being able to race it at Manfeild is fantastic.”

GREAT START: Todd Moffat with his Pontiac speedway saloon car. He’s had three wins from five starts this season.
