Police strengthen ties with Maori

CLOE WILLETTS For a person arrested and held in police custody, the removal of an item as culturally significant as Maori pounamu can be distressing. Often, in parallel with police safety regulations, the wax string holding a pounamu pendant together has to be completely cut. In a recent initiative aimed at minimising the outcry caused by the removal of pounamu, Kapiti police have implemented Project Pounamu, which will see greater respect and treatment in relation to the handling of pounamu. Project Pounamu involves having wax string available in police processing areas for Maori upon release, and is designed to honour culturally-sensitive elements of pounamu [greenstone], and associated personal connections with the stone. As part of the scheme, the wax string has been blessed by kaumatua Ake Tiaki and Don Te Maipi of local iwi Te Ati Awa Ki Whakarongotai. The step comes as part of an innovative police scheme

Turning of the Tides, aimed at creating greater positive ties between Maori and police. Project mastermind constable Lisa Campbell said the concept, foremost, is about respecting Maori culture. “It symbolises a small offer towards keeping peace between police and Maori by recognising and respecting the importance of pounamu and, specifically, pounamu pendants. “For those held in police custody, especially for reasons of personal safety, any item that is able to be used for harm is removed and this can, at times, include pounamu pendant.” She said although pendants can usually be removed without damage, sometimes it is necessary to cut the wax string if they can’t be unfastened or removed over the head. An “equally important” component of the new project, which Kapiti police hope to see instigated on a national scale, is the treatment and respect of the pounamu itself. “After removal, pounamu should be placed safely and separately in a zip-lock bag, envelope or plastic seal bag before being placed with the person’s property.”

Senior constable and Kaitakawaenga iwi liaison Mike Tahere said pounamu is important and significant to Maori, “so to have them removed is quite an ordeal. “By offering to replace the wax string, it shows police are respectful of Maori culture, or tikanga. Unfortunately, Maori statistics show a grim picture in crime stats and, by building trust and confidence, we can all have a better community to live in, and less Maori will be put before the justice system.”

SEALS OKAY

Seals seen on Kapiti beaches over the winter months often need rest not rescuing, Conservation Department ranger Brent Tandy says. “Between July and October male seals ‘haul out’ prior to the breeding season, and seal pups have been weaned and are learning to make their own way in the world.Although seals can look scrawny, they are not sick. Weeping eyes, regurgitating, sneezing and coughing are normal seal habits.”

Council will tomorrow choose the way forward on the Proposed District Plan (PDP). The decisions will be informed by the recommendations from independent reports received recently from two expert panels, one which reviewed science and assessments related to coastal erosion hazards, and the other a review of the PDP itself. The coastal panel made a number of recommendations related to the coastal hazards provisions of the PDP and the PDP review suggested four options to move towards a fair and robust District Plan. Decisions made tomorrow will largely determine the council’s work programme over the next five years, involving submitters and the community as a whole, in order to arrive at an Operative District Plan.

Support for family of Rob Ayley DAVID HAXTON Funds are being raised to support the family of Otaki dog breeder Rob Ayley, 29, who was among the 298 people killed in the Malaysia Airlines plane that was shot down in eastern Ukraine. United Video Otaki has set up a Kiwibank account to raise money for his widow, Sharlene, and their two boys, Seth, 4, and Taylor, 2. The account is called In Memorial of Robert Ayley and the number is 389016011465200. Shop co-owner Victoria Livingston said donations could also be given at Kiwibank Otaki

or at the video shop. There was “disbelief” in the community that Mr Ayley had died. “It shouldn’t have happened,” she said. “I can’t believe it has happened quite so close to home.” Otaki Community Board chairman James Cootes’ thoughts went out to the Ayley family. “It’s hard to believe a tragic event half way round the world can be so close to home and affect those we know and love,” he said. “Annette and I have known Rob and Sharlene for a few years as they attended our church for a while.

“We have started a Give a Little page so those that are wanting to support Sharlene and her two boys can. “We have a strong, caring community and I encourage those that wish to help to make a donation to assist them as a family at this sad time. “It is a reminder to us all of how fragile life is and to make the most of each day.” Mr Ayley had been overseas on a month-long trip around Europe visiting fellow rottweiler breeders. He wrote an email to family before getting on the flight. “Right now, I’m just looking

forward to seeing the boys and Sharlene. It’s been a long, long journey. We’ve seen the world’s greatest rottweilers, we have established contacts, and made life-long friends, but now I’m just ready to come home. I hope all is well, if we don’t talk before hand, I will see you on Saturday. Lots of Love. Rob.” His family issued a statement in which they spoke of his love for Sharlene and their boys. “It was Rob’s dream to bring the best of Europe blood lines into his breeding programme in New Zealand so that rottweilers could once again be the noble and safe dogs they have the potential

to be. Ayley was always passionate about life, there were no half measures. He was passionate about his family too. He found in his boys two little people he could love, understand and trust. When they cried they were sad, when they laughed they were happy and when they hugged it was because they loved him. He struggled to interpret body language and innuendo but he could understand his boys. Sharlene and Rob are soul mates. She is his ‘princess.’ She changed his life and he changed hers. She held his heart and he held hers. Rob will live forever in his family.”

Derelict farm undergoes revamp DAVID HAXTON A large outdoor furniture-making company, Big Mac Slabs, is relocating its factory from Masterton to Paraparaumu. The company intends to convert a derelict 3.6 hectare mushroom farm in Mazengarb Rd into its new base, with a view of opening early next year. The move, which has been months in the planning, is to make better use of transportation links, especially freight. “The Wairarapa is a bit of a pain to freight from, especially because so much of our product goes all over the country,” Big Mac Slabs co-director Steph Smith said. “And Kapiti is one of the bigger areas we supply furniture.” She said there was lot of work to do to transform the old mushroom farm, which closed in 2002. “There’s still 2500 mushroom boxes in those sheds which we will be recycling. “There are seven tunnel houses, which would be demolished because they have asbestos roofs, and then there was another big building, which is just

expensive exercise, and we’re not doing it lightly.” At Thursday’s regulatory management committee meeting, a council staff member said a limited notification was going out and there could be potentially 25

affected people. Mrs Smith was aware noise could be an issue for some people. “The site is large and most of the noise will happen in sheds, which are all going to be lined and stuff.

“It’s not going to be a particularly noisy operation. “It’s not like we’re a timber mill. “We’re also planning to build a house and live there, which will be between the factory and the other houses, so it’s not like we want to live in an unpleasant environment. “And our current neighbours are closer than what they will be in Kapiti and they’ve put in writing that they haven’t got any issues with us.” Mrs Smith, who owns the company with husband Andrew Havard, said the company had seven staff and would look to employ another three in the new factory, and would also make use of local suppliers too. “From an economic development point of view, we would be an asset.” Big Mac Slabs, which helps sponsor the Kapiti Sustainable Home and Garden Show, started as a part-time business until going full-time at its rural Masterton site 12 years ago. The company also has an outdoor display site in Plimmerton, which has been operating for about five years.

Zone manager overcomes rocky road CLOE WILLETTS When Dave Eliason relocated from Wanganui to Kapiti to pursue a career working on the MacKays to Peka Peka Expressway, his family’s life had taken a sudden turn. In the midst of taking on the challenging new role of zone manager at Raumati’s Poplar Avenue site, the father of three was given the news his newborn daughter, Cameron, was sick and would have to undergo open-heart surgery. “That was a bit of a major — starting a new job while she was in hospital for quite a while,” said the ex-small roading business owner, who lives in Paraparaumu with his family and a nowhealthy Cameron. Travelling back and forth from Wellington’s Starship Hospital after work and in weekends became the norm for Mr Eliason, who had been working on large roading projects in Wanganui prior to his move. “My partner found us a house in between all of that, and we shifted to Paraparaumu while Cameron was still in hospital. “The idea of a shift originally emerged because I’d had been keeping an eye on developments with the expressway, since work in Wanganui was drying up. “I got in touch with Stan Goodman and it all took off from there.” Relocating was a “big call” for Mr Eliason, with a young family in tow.

‘

Everybody that works on the expressway is part of a legacy, and being part of that is pretty awesome.

’

DAVE ELIASON

“You have to chase the projects a little bit if you do this sort of work. “We move around all over the place to where the projects are, because if you want the big bucks you have to move around for it.” With his Goodmans contract stretched out until the end of current expressway work, Mr Eliason said another key motivator was knowing other Roads of National Significance projects were in the line-up, “meaning there’s quite a workload for the next 10 to 15 years down here”. Keen to stay in Kapiti, he also hopes Goodmans Contracting will follow on with expressway work by securing the project’s next Peka Peka to Otaki leg. “At the moment we’re just focused on getting this job done, but I do love it here.” While he enjoys the on-going challenge of his role, which sees him manage the site and liaise closely with Alliance engineers, the once-upon-atime machine operator said feedback from the public is not always ideal. “We get a bit of negative feedback

role is a fulfilling one, with the ability to “test you every day. “Everybody that works on the expressway is part of a legacy, and being part of that is pretty awesome.”

Judge rejects f luoride conf lict claim DAVID HAXTON A High Court judge has rejected a Paraparaumu resident’s claims that a former councillor had a conflict of interest when voting to continue adding fluoride to the water supplies for the central part of the district. Mike Woods went to the court seeking a judicial review into his allegation that former Deputy Mayor Ann Chapman should not have participated in a council vote on June 10, 2010, where council decided to continue adding fluoride into the water supplies of Paraparaumu, Waikanae and Raumati.

He felt Mrs Chapman had a conflict of interest when the vote was taken because she was a deputy chairwoman of the Mid Central Health Board, which supported adding fluoride to water. His court case was filed on October 29 last year, which included detailed submissions and supporting documents including the minutes of the council meeting. Council filed a statement of defence saying Mrs Chapman brought and open mind to the council decision-making, her position on the health board didn’t affect her decision-making, she

had no pecuniary interest in the decision and she had not breached the council’s code of conduct. Judge J Collins dismissed Mr Woods’ application for a judicial review. Collins said there was “no suggestion” Mrs Chapman had a personal interest in the decision when she cast her vote. And, although she was an official of the health board, it didn’t mean “she must have failed to put her obligations and responsibilities to the health board aside when she cast her vote”. “In my assessment, a fairminded member of the public knowing that Ms Chapman had

been clearly warned about the need for her to bring an open mind to her decision-making and to discharge her responsibilities to the whole council would not have reasonably apprehended that Mrs Chapman would have ignored this advice.” Collins also said there was a “very significant time lapse” between the council voting and Mr Woods’ application for a judicial review, which meant a declaration wouldn’t have been issued. “It is well established that delay in seeking relief by way of judicial review is a factor that weighs against the High Court

exercising its discretion in favour of granting relief in judicial review proceedings.” Mr Woods had a lot of criticisms about the judgement but wasn’t going to take the issue further as it would cost him too much financially. His main beef was, “In future, any councillor, anywhere, who has a conflict of interest need not declare it, as long as the chief executive warns all councillors to have an open mind. “It’s quite mind-boggling when you think about the ramifications.” The cost to council in defending the case was about $14,000.

RSA welfare officer earns life membership CLOE WILLETTS

QUESTION: Would you like to see this shop at Raumati Beach turned into a liquor centre? PHOTO: DAVID HAXTON / KAP180714DHSHOP

Liquor centre raises opposition DAVID HAXTON Opposition has arisen about plans to turn a Raumati Beach grocery store into a full-scale liquor centre. The district licensing committee has received an application from Red Roar Ltd to convert the Rosetta Grocery and Cellars into a bottle store called Raumati Village Liquor Centre, which would be open seven days a week from 9am-10pm. The off-licence application came up on the meeting agenda of a group of retailers who are revitalising the Raumati Business Association. The association has put in a submission to the licensing committee opposing the application. “The retailers are up in arms about this because we feel there’s enough problems without having another

liquor outlet in the village,” The Frock Shop owner Jude Riddell said. “We all felt there was no need to have it. “There are already sufficient alcohol outlets in Raumati. “It’s totally unacceptable to have another liquor outlet in the area. “Why do we want another one? “We felt we had to make a stand. “There are problems at night with young teenagers. “I often find I have to wash down the footpath outside my store in the morning.” Madame Treacle owner Dianne Tester was “just horrified that it’s even being considered given the proximity to schools and the nature of the type of businesses in this area”. She said alcohol-related misbehaviour wasn’t

uncommon in the area, including broken bottles, flower baskets being pulled down and urination in doorways. The Village Meats owner Michael Law said there was already “hooligans in the area” and getting another liquor outlet didn’t seem right for Raumati and would create more problems. He often worked late and has observed people driving drunk on mopeds, motorists doing donuts and lots of bottles discarded. Council environmental health team leader Julie Lloyd noted if the application were to be granted, it would be one type of off-licence replacing another type of offlicence. The off-licence application was publicly notified for the second time on Thursday last week, at which time people had 15 days to object.

Former soldier Alan Dempsey was awarded an esteemed life membership of the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association for his dedicated role as welfare officer at Paraparaumu RSA. Celebrated in front of a packed crowd on Saturday, the ceremony saw Mr Dempsey awarded a badge and certificate by national RSA chief executive David Moger, who brought light to the Paraparaumu resident’s outstanding service in supporting Kapiti veterans and dependents. Paraparaumu RSA president Chris Turver said it was Mr Dempsey’s compassion and humanity in dealing with those in need that earned the respect and trust of the RSA’s 1100 members and their families. Describing him as a once “battlehardened soldier” who is now a “modest and humble man, always ready with a smile,” Mr Turver thanked Mr Dempsey on behalf of Paraparaumu RSA for his extensive efforts. In just five years as welfare officer, before recently stepping down, Mr Dempsey provided support for 350 members or dependents and spoke at 150 funerals. Guests were also introduced to details of Mr Dempsey’s extensive military service in Malaysia, Borneo and Rhodesia, and the fact that until six years ago, he had not stepped into an RSA, nor had his medals mounted. When he eventually took the leap and walked through the doors of Paraparaumu RSA in 2008, he found an organisation that treated him so well, he wanted to stay. Just one year later, following much encouragement from his RSA peers, Mr Dempsey took over the role as welfare officer — before finally having his awards mounted. “Over the last five years, Alan and his welfare colleagues have made Paraparaumu RSA admired throughout the district for the care and respect they show for our members and dependants who need support,” Mr Turver said. Mr Dempsey’s contribution to the New Zealand Army fell into place in 1965 as a 20-year-old infantryman with the first battalion of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. In his first deployment to Borneo, he acted as lead scout for his platoon section where he saw vigorous action

and was wounded when caught in a camouflaged punji pit. A punji pit, Mr Turver described, is a hole dug in the ground and filled with sharpened and fire-hardened bamboo stakes and covered in jungle debris. Following recovery, an uneventful second deployment to Borneo ensued, before Mr Dempsey left the army, gained educational qualifications and set off to travel 32 countries around the world, where he worked as a school teacher. “In the 1970s he was offered a teaching job in Rhodesia, (but) what he didn’t know was all residents had to contribute to the war effort,” Mr Turver said. “Because of his New Zealand Army background, Alan became a combat tracker and saw extensive and violent active service before returning to New Zealand three years later.” Mr Turver said Mr Dempsey’s life membership award gave some idea of the concentrated work RSAs do behind the scenes to assist veterans and their families in dealing with illness, failing hearing and eyesight, loss of mobility, hospitalisation and the effects on dependents. Mr Dempsey, who will continue to provide support to Paraparaumu RSA’s new support officer, Gary Moore, said he was “very humbled and emotional”.

Fluoridation Government’s decision I am writing from the Local Government New Zealand conference in Nelson, having moved the remit urging Government to amend the appropriate legislation so the addition of fluoride to drinking water is a decision made by the Director General of Health, rather than local authorities. In other words, the decision on fluoridation must rest with Government. It was reassuring to see the stance taken by Kapiti on this, overwhelmingly supported by a two-thirds majority vote. While some people may argue the decision rests at local level, I disagree. The current situation places councils and councillors

in an impossible quandary and ratepayers suffer as a result. Lacking the scientific knowledge to make a sure call on fluoridation, elected members do their best to consider the immense volume of submissions made by diverse groups on either side of the debate. Much of the submission material is highly technical. The lobbyists are passionate and, at times, demanding.

In this setting, different councils make different decisions. Across two terms, councillors in one local authority may come to a different decision to their predecessors in the same authority. This year our own council in Kapiti made its decision on an 8-2 split in favour of supporting continued fluoridation. This was the second time in five years we have been through a formal consultation process on fluoridation. I am sure this won’t be the end of it. Every Annual Plan round we get submissions on the topic. Kapiti is aware of the intensity of debate and is aware also of the threat to all councils

— and ratepayers — of the possibility of litigation that arises as a result of this split in the community. Every time a council has to go to court to answer a challenge, the legal costs fall on the ratepayers. As South Taranaki and Hamilton are well aware, the costs can be onerous. Ross Dunlop, mayor of South Taranaki, spoke for the remit and said that it has cost his ratepayers over $250,000 so far and doesn’t want these costs to fall on any other communities. Why should ratepayers have to pay for such litigation on an issue that really belongs with the Director General of Health?

Clearly, that is where the responsibility must lie. The Ministry of Health has clear guidelines on fluoride. What the LGNZ needs is for these to become directives. There is consistency in this. Already, Government sets the standards for every other aspect of drinking-water quality. Government also sets the standards for the quality of our waterways through the new National Policy Statement for Freshwater. Buildings and waterways may not be owned by Government, but Government sets the standards. Now is the time for Government to do the same with fluoridation of our water.

Big business has influence on town centre The council is engaging with our communities to jig-saw structure plans for the town centres of Paraparaumu and Waikanae. There is some urgency to this as we can see the Kapiti Expressway project, uncoiling itself like a giant snake consuming sandhills, native tree, wetlands and houses. We all know the expressway is a game changer for the district. But there are others who disagree when it comes how Paraparaumu Town Centre (PTC) would be affected. While council represents the collective will of all our communities it’s a brutal fact of life that those with commercial power have a significant say in how our town centres evolve. Those engaged with the PTC

consultation process should look at the Environment Court decision delivered on March 13 where St Heliers Capital Ltd had appealed for Plan Change 72A to be put on ice and reviewed afresh under the Proposed District Plan. They argued the expressway has significantly changed the planning framework to the extent that the previous decision on PL74A would effectively undermine the development of Paraparaumu as a regional hub. PL72A, also known as the Wharemauku Precinct, is a

Real Estate

12 hectare block fronting Rimu Rd. It was rezoned for commercial and retail development. Council’s position is that PL72A will complement the existing commercial and retail core and support the design of Rimu Rd as a main street. The existing 70,000sqm of retail space is dominated by Coastlands with its 52,000sqm of retail, a pedestrian count of 5 million per year and 1500 people on the employment payroll. Coastlands, which helped shape PL74A, obviously supports KCDC’s position. Against this entrenched interest is the new kid on the block. St Heliers owns 46 hectares facing Kapiti Rd. It’s argument is that the expressway is a game changer and developing

Paraparaumu as the regional hub will require an east-west main street orientated towards the expressway and its intersection at Kapiti Rd. Obviously they wanted open competition whereas PL74A is a managed control measure designed to increase the matrix between Coastland’s existing commercial development and KCDC’s commitment to a vibrant civic and cultural centre. The facts on traffic projection are interesting. At present SH1 handles 27,000 vehicles per day (vpd). Post expressway, the current SH1 route will have 17,300 vpd while the new expressway will have 12,100 vpd. By 2026 SH1 will have 20,100vpd while the expressway will have 13,900. And

most expressway users will be passing through without stopping. KCDC and Coastlands argued that the expressway will, therefore, not be such a game changer that it requires a reorientation of the town centre. The Court rejected St Heliers’ appeal but the judgement does indicate reservations about the ability of Rimu Rd to easily develop into a main street. It is also silent about the competition posed by the airport development. And, despite the traffic projections by the experts, I suspect the jury is out on how locals will use the expressway. It would be useful for the public to analyse and know the strategic positions of the big players and how they are, or are likely, to influence council.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Lying cat

CAPTURING KAPITI

I think my cat has taken up smoking. She sneaks outside at night and comes back in reeking of smoke. I have tried talking to her about it, but she fobs me off by blaming it on the smoke from people’s chimneys. I just don’t believe her! CLAIRE FLENTGE RAUMATI BEACH

RUSSELL Feist took this photograph at Waikanae Beach last month. PHOTO: KAP210714SPLWOOD

Behind the scenes

An interesting bit of news last week was the story of the dangerous threat posed to Kapiti democracy created by e-mails sent from councillor Jackie Elliott, which just begs to be looked at from a wider veiwpoint. Murry Bell is brilliant doing his very fine teacher’s pet impersonation. Is it just a coincidence that Cr Elliott just happens to be the only politician not jumping on the ‘I love water meters bus’? The timing of Mr Bell’s complaints inevitably raises the question of who else is pushing this story from behind the curtain. Whoever these people may be, they are on a hiding to nothing for the simple reason that the ratepayer is not going to abandon Mrs Elliott for some supposed e-mail allegations. She has apparently breached elected members’ code of conduct no less. So what of a mayor who is against meters one minute, gains power and is then a born again meterrite? CHRIS NORMAN OTAKI [abridged]

Money and control

KCDC spokesperson Sean Mallon is good at his job. That job is to head off trouble in the media. Sean’s and his colleagues’ views on

■ Nga Manu Nature Reserve, the sponsor of Capturing Kapiti, will give away a free family pass each week to the reserve if your image is published in Kapiti News. water do no stand up to scrutiny though. No one can argue with the fact that Kapiti ratepayers have never had a say about installing meters. The council would have us believe this whole situation is about conservation of water, but this is just not the case. Like most things it is about money and control. Either the council serves us or we serve it. Have you ever been asked about meters? The answer is no because they know full well we would and still will give this obnoxious metering the boot given the chance. Sean’s point about people over calculating water bills comes down to the bills not showing a three month period, but 40 days or so. Not content with the above, now it’s Town Centres. They may be a wonderful spaces for those in central Kapiti, but what benefit

Am I the only one who can see the power and pomposity of this current regime growing beyond all reason? The refurbishing of our spending power is getting to be rather a burden that must only get worse once Fran Wilde and her friends get their hooks into us soon. JAMES MICHAELS OTAKI

In reply

The decision to go ahead with the new water charging scheme was made with input from the community via the 2012 Long Term Plan community consultation process. Water meters do encourage people to conserve water. Other

areas around the world which have water meters in place have had a 25 per cent reduction in water use on average and we can all play our part in achieving the same here. It is wrong to say the new scheme “is about money”. Council will not be making any money out of the scheme. We are just distributing the costs differently and more fairly. While water that drops from the sky is free, it is the cost of capturing, treating, storing and delivering it to people’s homes/businesses, plus maintaining the network, that costs money — this is what water rates pay for. Any surplus or deficit from overall charges will be transferred to the water activities in following years. It is also incorrect to say “people over calculating water bills comes down to the bills not showing a three month period”. The water charges shown on all trial readings are based on a three month period, even if the meters were read over a lesser number of days. Regarding the comments on Town Centres — with the development of the Expressway and SH1 becoming a local road, we have an opportunity to make these centres more modern, functional and accessible. This will provide economic benefits to the whole district. We are currently consulting communities on their views including a district-wide mailout asking people what is important to them about town centres so we can use this feedback to help inform decisions. Paekakariki and Otaki have recently had significant town centre upgrades. SEAN MALLON COUNCIL INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES GROUP MANAGER

Cost-saving ideas

In response to Marie O’Sullivan’s letter last week, the changes to water charging won’t “cause hardship for many”. Based on initial information from metered water use, an estimated two thirds of ratepayers will actually pay about the same or less for water under the new scheme. While water that drops from the sky is free, we have always had to pay for the cost of capturing, treating, storing and delivering it to people’s homes/businesses, plus maintaining the network. The new charging scheme distributes the costs differently and more fairly in that people who use less water will no longer be subsidising those who use more. Bigger water users can put in place ways to conserve water to keep their costs down — there are lots of easy, no-cost things people can do at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/waterconservation Regarding the income criteria for a water rates remission, it is not “set at below $20,804 per annum”. There are various remissions available with criteria that have to be met — one of these is that income cannot be 5per cent more than any relevant government benefit. So Ms O’Sullivan’s comment that assistance will only be provided if income is “below many benefit levels” is incorrect. People can find more information about rates remissions in our ‘Rates Remissions Policy’ in the Annual Plan on our website. Or ring council to find out more details.

The launch follows the introduction of the pair’s Limoncello brand in the New Zealand market four years ago, with this year’s fresh opportunity emerging just six weeks ago. Located at the premises originally known as Tiki Joes’, at 80 the Main Road Waikanae, Pronto Pizza and Pasta will be serving the favourite pasta dishes from the pair’s Soprano Restaurant, along with traditional Napolitano-style fused with New Yorkstyle pizza. Experienced and esteemed pizza pro Corrado Ronchetti arrived in New Zealand from Naples in 1977, with limited English, no job and the role of becoming a ﬁrst time parent. Becoming friendly with the owner of Giovanni’s Pizza in Hataitai, Corrado started working there, and as his English improved, learned about business in New Zealand and promptly went about opening his ﬁrst pizza shop on Adelaide Road, Newtown. History repeated several times at various locations around Wellington, including Marjorie Banks Street, Courtney Place, Tinakori Road, Kaori, the Overseas Terminal, and the well-known Spaghetti Junction in Johnsonville. Also a foundation tenant at the BNZ underground food court, which was hugely successful, Corrado operated two sites there and introduced Wellington to Ravioli and Cannelloni. Corrado, a Napolitan with a very strong opinion of what makes a good pizza, said the dough base must be thin enough to hold a bite and thick enough to hold the topping.

LAPP plans proceed despite ban Council will raise concerns about its inability to prevent the sale of psychoactive substances (legal highs) in the Kapiti district with central Government. The psychoactive substances law introduced this year provides for councils to develop Local Approved Product Policies (LAPPs) to restrict the location of places where legal highs can be sold. The Ministry of Health will grant licences to sell legal highs on the basis of the LAPP.

The ministry has advised councils to proceed with LAPP development, even though a Government-imposed product recall is still in place pending development of an approved testing regime. The LAPP will determine the location of sales outlets when the product recall ends. This includes how far outlets should be from places like schools, churches and public buildings. The aim of the policy, under the legislation, is to reduce the

QR codes for reserve users Nga Manu Nature Reserve is connecting technology to its conservation education focus. The nature reserve, in Waikanae, is designing 10 new information signs which will have Quick Response (QR) codes on them. “Smart phone users of the world will then to be able to readily learn about the native flora and fauna at Nga Manu Nature Reserve,” reserve manager Bruce Benseman said. “Increasing numbers of visitors to the reserve have smart phones and we want to cater for this generation. “Visitors will be able to scan a QR code and they will automatically be provided with audio and visual data on the object that caught their interest.

“Not only will they be able to read some textual information but they can view pics and hear audio.” The reserve, which is being helped by Capital Video productions, has budgeted $3000 for the project. It is hoped people can donate money to continue the project by going to the Pledge Me website — www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/ 2203 “Pledge Me is an innovative tool to raise funds for groups like us,” Mr Benseman said. The nature reserve’s objectives are to preserve New Zealand native flora and fauna, provide outdoor conservation education to young New Zealanders and to be involved in recovery programmes for unique native flora and fauna.

potential for psychoactive substances to harm users and communities, without prohibiting their sale. However, council would prefer to see the sale of legal highs in the district prevented. Regulatory management committee chairwoman Diane Ammundsen says the community had been very concerned about the availability of psychoactive drugs before the law change stopped their sale. Central Government is

expected to have established rules for granting retail licences, and a testing regime, by early 2015, meaning sales could begin again. “We are being asked by Government to develop this policy, but we know our community does not want legal highs here. We need to make our views known to Government while at the same time engaging with our community to get their views on what a draft LAPP for Kapiti might look like. “The lull in activity when we

don’t have to manage the impact from sales of legal highs gives us more time to discuss the issues with stakeholders and communities to ensure the LAPP represents their interests. “We’re aiming to have a draft ready for community feedback by October or November. “We are very mindful of the community’s concerns and we’re committed to doing everything we can to reduce the impact of these substances on our district in the future.”

Water meters senseless With Kapiti having opted for the water meter experiment it seems the rest of the region will watch what happens with great interest. Having chaired the Greater Wellington water supply committee I can say this issue arises on a semi-regular basis although the introduction of water meters for domestic use has been rejected every time. In fact it isn’t even close. If for no other reason we have rejected water meters because they make no sense from an economic point of view and they are very unpopular with the public — and lest we forget, the public are people we are elected to serve. So it begs the question of why has Kapiti decided to experiment with water meters and what will the rest of the region be able to learn from the exercise. For starters some assessments have already been made. Kapiti’s overall rainfall per annum is actually quite high — as a pointer to this, one of the major areas of spending from the regional council in Kapiti is on flood protection. This of course adds

huge weight to the catch it and store it argument which usually concludes with “build a dam.” The Kapiti council has decided that option is too expensive and believe water meters will reduce consumption. That may be true but the question is how much sense does it make to reduce consumption of water which arrives in oversupply most of the year. As an example, every litre of water you save at the moment is a litre that flows on down the river and out to sea so the net saving is zero. The only time saving water makes sense is when it is in short supply. In Kapiti that short supply is actually quite seldom and is restricted to a relatively short period over summer. Introducing water meters costs about $10million and then residents will be paying for their water use.

In the rest of the region we have seen a steady decrease in water consumption of the past decade. This has been achieved by some sophisticated leak detection work and a number of education programmes encouraging good water use habits. Counting strongly against water meters are social equity and user pays arguments plus the fact that the water residents will find most costly in the summer may be coming out of bores which most residents don’t even want for free. The KCDC argument for water meters says it is about equity and fairness that the system is user pays. However this philosophy does not apply to the Aquatic Centre, or libraries, or parks, or galleries and other amenities and of course it never will. So far there has been significant resistance to water meters which has largely fallen on deaf ears. I suspect when the bills start to arrive the noise will get much louder and council may well have more than a water crisis on its hands.

Council wins another award

Kapiti Coast District Council’s Waikanae River Recharge project has won the infrastructure project of the year at the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) conference held in Nelson. The title is be awarded to the council whose infrastructure project has led to improved efficiencies and effectiveness for local businesses, residents and visitors, and has contributed to an economic or environmental

benefit for their region. The win in the inaugural LGNZ Excellence awards caps off a string of awards for council which included double honours in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority Awards and a Green Ribbon Award for reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions. Council’s water supply project also recently won a prestigious planning award. “We are having an

unbelievable run,” said mayor Ross Church. “These are national awards that recognise the very best in innovation and achievement. “I am very proud to lead a council that is being recognised in this way.” He paid tribute to council staff who had worked to develop the river recharge project, as one of the key initiatives to solving long term water supply issues in Kapiti.

Group environment Our local govt needs to do more provides motivation I recently attended a Local Government New Zealand conference. It had a staggering lineup of who’s who of local government including presentations made by John Key, Paula Bennett and David Cunliffe. The overwhelming message from each of these individuals was the importance of economic growth and jobs, environmental sustainability and rates affordability. What struck me was the vision of some of these leaders and councils, and their unwavering commitment to improve their communities’ economic prospects. After this conference, I do not believe locally we are doing enough as part of local government to contribute to the local economy outside of the national roading projects. We need to unlock the economic growth potential of our region by stimulating business and engaging our community, bring national events as well as inspire the region and the

Waikanae Community Board world about Kapiti as a destination. If the local economy is thriving and healthy so is the community. The question is how do we do this locally and what can council do to contribute or stimulate to our local economic prospects? Our council needs to act now. There is a lot of competition in our country from other regions and councils performing better than ours. Engage your councillors, they have a responsibility to you and your community. The Kapiti Coast, I believe, should be the best place in New Zealand to grow up in and grow old in.

Some trains mobility scooter friendly How you would cope if you had to rely upon a mobility scooter for transport? Would you be able to get to Wellington easily? What would be available to you once you got there? Once at Paraparaumu Railway Station, Matangi trains are mobility scooter friendly. The on-line instructions add that you need to “ask train staff to assist you” especially around the use of “securing belts”. Remember not all stations are mobility scooter/wheelchair friendly! Secondly there is a time-frame requirement to be met when taking either wheelchairs or mobility scooters on trains, and for the Kapiti Line it is not possible from 6.30am to 9am nor between 3.30pm to 6.30pm from Monday to Friday. Last but not least is the fact that mobility scooters should not exceed 80cm wide and 130cm long with a turning circle of less than 95cm radius and the combined weight must not exceed 300kg. But did you know that some places in Wellington offer free city mobility scooter use? In order to make use of these you need to book in advance and will have to produce a “security item” such as credit card or drivers licence. The locations for these services are as follows: Wellington City Council, Wagamama Restaurant, Cable Car, Freyberg Pool and Fitness Centre and the CQ Hotel in Cuba St. In the suburbs, from the Kilbirnie Library and the Karori Community Centre followed by these venues that

allow “on-site use only” — Zealandia, Te Papa, and the Wellington Botanic Gardens. This information is available on a city mobility pamphlet put out by Wellington City Council. The final issue I wish to raise is the ongoing one of return transport from Wellington Hospital — especially the after business hours discharge from the emergency department. When we do get a satisfactory solution we will make sure to let you know about it. In the meantime, make sure that you are familiar with what is currently available, and how to access it. The Kapiti Coast Older Persons’ Council held its June meeting in Otaki. The idea was to give Otaki retirees the chance to attend and over 50 people turned up. This showed us that there is a need for us to try to involve all of the District- including Otaki — more often. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday July 30 at 1pm in the KCDC chambers, We would love to see you there. My contact email is jillestan0@gmail.com

Free seminar to help investment decisions How do you avoid being ripped off by a dodgy financial advisor? How do you choose an advisor? Learn more about options for investing your money and how to plan for retirement at a free financial seminar on August 6 in Waikanae. Business development manager for Baptist Savings, Andrew L’Almont, wants to equip New Zealanders to make wise investment decisions. His seminar at Waikanae Baptist Church follows on from his debt reduction seminar a couple of years ago. Mr L’Almont says many investors have lost money due to bad advice, commission-driven advisers, greed or naivety or “following the herd” mentality.

“Don’t be another sad statistic.” The seminar will cover investment options, why global financial decisions can affect New Zealand investments, how to get a competitive rate of return — and leave a legacy, and how to find an honest financial advisor. Mr L’Almont has 37 years’ experience in the finance/banking industry. He worked for banks, mortgage broking companies and financial service companies before joining Baptist Savings. He will also explain at the seminar why Baptist Savings has been successfully trading for more than 50 years. The seminar is on Wednesday August 6 at 7pm in the Waikanae Baptist Church, 286 Te Moana Rd, Waikanae. No charge.

With the Tour de France in full swing I’ve been glued to the TV watching the elite cyclists of this world take on the most gruelling multiple day events in the history of the sport. Even though the drug scandals of the past have somewhat tarnished the sport for some people, the spectators are always out in force cheering on the riders day in and day out. The tour riders cycle for an average 180km per day over some massive mountains for three weeks with only two rest days, the climbers in the teams weigh about 56/62kgs and the average rider burns about 3500/4500 calories per day. Yes they are unbelievable athletes. At this time of year with the weather being a little bit chilly it’s often hard to get out on the bike unless you are prepared with winter riding gear and some thick skin. Another option is to try an indoor cycling class, these classes are often known as spin classes and cater for the seasoned cyclist and the absolute beginner. Like any group exercise programme they are great for motivation because everyone is in there doing the same thing. Spin classes can cater for 20/30 people depending on the number of bikes available and there is an instructor or two at the front of the class giving you

encouragement and instruction on riding positions and speed etc. You tend to work harder in this group setting than you would on your own because of the music, environment and motivation help you to work a bit harder, this is great class for breaking exercise plateau’s. Classes go for 30mins or 55mins so if you are absolute beginner you can start with the 30min class and work your way up to the 55min class. All you need to get started is a towel (to mop up your sweat) and a drink bottle, once you become a spin class addict you can buy padded bike shorts or even clip on bike shoes. If you enjoy cycling outdoors the spin classes will certainly help with bike strength that transfers to your outdoor cycling. If you’re as motivated as me after watching the Tour de France then try a spin class and watch your fitness improve out of sight, while you stay dry indoors.

Introducing

Pet Dental Month this August “We have a very caring team of staff who are friendly, and that’s the approach we like to take – developing strong relationships with our clients and their pet,” says Well Pet owner Warren Stroud, who launched Kapiti’s successful veterinary business back in 1998.

With 20 years’ veterinary experience under his belt, during which 16 years have been spent as a companion vet, Mr Stroud says locally owned and operated Well Pet is the only clinic that provides a 24-hour emergency service in Waikanae and Paraparaumu.

16 years later, and Mr Stroud has seen his Well Pet brand extend to two facilities on the coast, offering a comprehensive range of on-site services in a modern and caring environment.

Also stocking a full range of premium brand pet food, ﬂea products, wormers, and shampoos, Well Pet offers a range of common services including a puppy preschool, Puppy Party.

Introducing an upcoming Pet Dental Month over August, Mr Stroud urges people to bring in their pets to the Paraparaumu and Waikanae Well Pet clinics, for a free pet dental check.

“Puppy Party is for socialising puppies with people and other puppies, and is a good way of learning how to look after a new dog if you haven’t for a while,” he says.

“To encourage people to have their pet’s mouth checked over by a professional, clients can have their pet’s teeth checked by a veterinary nurse free of charge,” he says. “Each year we run a month-long promotion, and often the nurses will identify something wrong. As a vet I’ll get involved and may recommend dentistry, such as a dental scale and polish, potential teeth removal, or x-rays to try and identify a problem.” During Well Pet’s promotion month, all dentistry services are discounted, and can help with a range of common teeth problems including gum disease, which Mr Stroud says is common in dogs from two-years onwards, particularly smaller breed dogs. “Cats also commonly have cavities that cause discomfort, and generally become a problem around middle age.”

Amy Hall and Jo Green

“We run the classes out of our Waikanae clinic, and once a class is ﬁlled, we run our Puppy Party over three consecutive weeks.” As well as having diagnostic x-ray, ultrasound and digital radiography equipment, Well Pet has in-house lab systems at both clinics – enabling blood tests to be done on-site with results out within 20 minutes.

Matt Sanchez

“We can report to clients straight away and give advice on treatment,” Mr Stroud says. “We can help with all of your pets’ needs, and can do a wide range of surgeries on-site -from routine spay and neutering procedures, to ligament and knee surgeries, repairing broken bones, abdominal and chest surgery.”

New take on city office space CLOE WILLETTS Mariya Kupriyenko spent time travelling through Israel, Germany, Asia and Eastern Europe last year, whose diverse cities helped fuel the creative inspiration behind what is now an innovative Wellington-based business space. Returning to New Zealand with a fresh compilation of ideas, the 26-year-old unveiled her bright business idea and launched Cuba Street’s new In Good Company premises last month. Opened on June 11, the city hot spot is luring in a collective of the creatively-infused, in what the exParaparaumu student refers to as “a working and gathering space with internet access and bottomless tea and coffee”. “Through my travel I was able to visit spaces like time cafes, start-up cafes and art colonies, and on my return to Wellington I merged those together to create In Good Company,” Miss Kupriyenko said. The ‘coffice’ concept invites freelancers, creatives and startups to utilise the space for work, meetings or networking, amid an art gallery-style backdrop. The space, which previously functioned as an art gallery, was a location admired by Miss Kupriyenko, who regularly visited it for art events. “I always loved the vibe in the space and the cool location right

PHOTO: KAP180614SPLINGOODCOMPANY in the middle of Cuba Street, so when I heard the space was available, I jumped at the opportunity.” Seeing a selection of people coming through, Miss Kupriyenko said her role is never short of interesting conversations.

“Today a guy came to work on his business plan for a venture in France. “He has been researching alternative payment models for goods and services, and is interested in piloting our model as a part of his venture. “The most unusual encounter

Flying top of bucket list John Bowering, of Paraparaumu, died peacefully on July 3 while on holiday in Australia. He was 90 and was diagnosed last year with a metastatic melanoma. When told he may only have a few weeks to live, the retired architect promptly made a bucket list and at the top was the wish to fly a small plane and be able to take the controls. He got his wish in December when his three children organised a trial flight in a small Cessna at the Kapiti Aero Club. Pilot Rob Kofoed, who is by coincidence also an architect, gave him the red carpet treatment and said John was beaming for the entire 20 minute flight and was in control for most of that time. John was born in England in 1924 and joined the RAF when he was 19. His first flight was a training session in a Tiger Moth. After World War II he studied at the London School of Architecture and worked on post war housing and secondary schools. In 1948 he married and came to New Zealand with his wife, Peggy. He joined the Government Architect service in Wellington and introduced a new postprimary school prototype design of which six were built, including Naenae College. He moved to Palmerston North and then New Plymouth for 17 years where his three children, Douglas, Diana and Claire were born. His work there on the Whiteley

we’ve had is a girl asking to hire the space for her date. “She said the space is organic and that’s why she chose us. That was weird but cool.” For the ex-Kapiti Youth Council and Environmental Youth Forum member, who shifted to New Zealand from

Washington DC following the September 11 attacks, behind the scenes preparation included “hard work, heaps of coffee, energy, and committed people”. “I also had to save for the startup and set-up stages of the enterprise, and had to find people who believed in my vision.” As well as small components including finding the right coffee and tea suppliers, and sourcing furniture for the main space, Miss Kupriyenko had to get the word out to gather clients. In just over a month, the space has seen bookings for permanent desk rental from independent businesses, freelancers and artists. Also supporting Wellington artists by providing an avenue to exhibit their work, Ukrainianborn Miss Kupriyenko said pieces come from in-house artists and artist friends. “Submissions for exhibitions are also open to the public, and we have a gallery team who put together themes, and select and curate artists.” As well as wanting to see In Good Company host regular workshops and events, Miss Kupriyenko hopes to welcome unique art exhibitions and creative initiatives. “I want to see the space used during the day by people who need to work, to chill and have meetings — anyone who needs a space in the middle of the city.”

In 1973 he moved to Whangarei to be near his favourite holiday spot in the Bay of Islands and retired to Opua in 1988. After the death of Peggy in 1994 John met his second wife, Pamela and in 2001 moved back to Whangarei. John was an active member of the community. He joined the New Plymouth Rotary Club in 1964 and was a member of the Whangarei, Whangarei South and Bay of Islands Clubs. He was awarded the Paul Harris Fellowship in 2006. He was also a member of the New

John and Pam moved to Paraparaumu in 2006 and were members of the Probus Club and the Kapiti Club. John believed in living life to the full and taking up every challenge. He had a love of travel and was on holiday in Port Douglas, with Pamela, when he died. An informal memorial service will be held at the Paraparaumu RSA on Sunday from 10am-noon as well as a service in Whangarei on July 30, 1.30pm at Morris and Morris, 199 Kamo Rd.

League career set aside for God DAVID HAXTON William Hopoate put a potentially lucrative rugby league career on hold to fulfil his desire of being a missionary for the Latter-day Saints. The 21-year-old grew up in Fua’amotu, Tonga, before moving to Otara, Auckland, where he played for the Otara Scorpions. His call to serve as a missionary came on the same day a representative from South Sydney Rabbitohs knocked on the door and offered him a contract last year. “It was kind of a hard decision but I have wanted to be missionary from a very young age.” William put missionary work first and believes he can still make an impact on the rugby league field, or rugby field, once his two year missionary work finishes; he has a year of missionary work left. He is one of four missionaries based at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Paraparaumu; the others are Uinise Maliepo, Erin Haacke and Carlos Aparicio. William and Carlos’s missionary work is for two years, and Uinise and Erin’s missionary work is for a year and a half.

OUT AND ABOUT: Missionaries, from left, Uinise Maliepo, Erin Haacke, Carlos Aparicio and William Hopoate. PHOTO: DAVID HAXTON / KAP160714DHSAINTS The foursome are out and about between Pukerua Bay to Waikanae talking to people about their church, which believes it has the answers to three questions people might ponder at some stage of their life — where have we come from,

why are we here and where are we going. The missionaries work seven days a week and do everything from meeting people, study, teach, baptise to keeping fit. William loves his missionary work and seeing “people’s lives

change for the better”. “They have hope for something better.” Carlos, 21, is from Malaga, Spain, and has the distinction of being the first missionary from Spain to serve in any of the New Zealand missions. Before

arriving at the start of last year, he had to learn to speak English. “It was the biggest challenge of my mission but little by little I got better and better. I’m going home soon but this has probably been the best two years of my life.” Uinise, 21, grew up in Fahefa, Tonga, before moving to Mangere, Auckland. She says the lifestyle is a lot slower in Kapiti than Auckland. “It’s really peaceful, you don’t hear people screaming around on the roads. And I love meeting new people.” Erin, 21, who grew up in a small town called Wellington, Texas, is enjoying her time in Kapiti. “It’s beautiful and the people are really friendly.” She enjoys “getting to feel how much God loves everybody”. There’s a lot of door knocking and a lot of mixed reactions. “Some people are nice and friendly, others not so,” she says. “One lady started yelling at us from behind a sliding door saying she was going to call the police and that we shouldn’t be out so late, but it was only about 5pm.” Uinise: “But we understand how people might feel.” The missionaries do have a car to get around in but prefer cycling as they can meet people more easily.

Artists in big show CLOE WILLETTS Kapiti artists will be among the mix of over 300 artists taking part in the biggest art show to hit New Zealand this year. The annual New Zealand Art Show, which emerged in 2009, invites members of the public to attend the large-scale event this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 25-27, at Wellington’s TSB stadium. With around 10,000 people going through the exhibition, and over 3500 paintings and works on display and up for sale, Kapiti artist Rhonda Thompson said it is the ideal place to “go and see thousands of works at once”. Along with Thompson, local artists Rachel Goodman, Micheline Robinson, Cameron Munroe, Jane Santos, and Debbie Pointon will have their diverse selection of works on show. Thompson, who re-claimed a young love for art following retirement from an accounting career and now paints full-time, will present a range of her traditional and textured oil paintings. A previous part owner of Waikanae’s Artel Gallery, prior to retiring last December, Thompson is recognised for her working with a range of canvas sizes, and

focusing heavily on Wellington City. Mosaic artist Santos is also noted for focusing predominantly on cityscapes, with Wellington houses a favourite among her line-up of work. Munroe, who works full-time as a painter, creates abstract acrylic works, composing a great deal of her works in grid format. Goodman, who will be entering the New Zealand Art Show for the third time this year, also creates abstract works, rich in spontaneity and colour. Also an at-home mum, she is also recognised for her sculptural compositions. Robinson, who has been busy creating over 200 works this year, in a series of “essence and landscape” themes, said the works “explore the internal landscape of love and manipulations, and the effects on people that way”. “For the art show I’ve put one example from a series called Cities and Jungles. It is six feet by four feet and is drifts and lines, and mimics the vibe you get when you’re in a big city like New York, but embraces the vines and light you get when you go into the Hemi Matenga,” she said. Well-known Raumati South artist Pointon said the pieces she has created for

The women will make up a variation of general exhibitors, solo panelists, and single artists at the show. Tickets are $10 a head and can be purchased on the door or through the New Zealand Art Show website, www. artshow.co.nz.

Kapiti News

What’s On... Choir brings a nordic theme in latest concert Nordic myths and music is the theme of Kapiti Chamber Choir's forthcoming concert. The main work performed is Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf. In the poem of that name, Henry Longfellow describes dramatically the life, loves and battles of tenth century King Olaf of Norway whose mission was to establish Christianity in his country. Music director Eric Sidoti says “the story is greatly enhanced by the operatic style of Elgar's music with passion and high drama. “This comes to a stunning climax in the battle between the Norsemen and the Danes.” Narrator Sunny Amey contributes to the theatrical atmosphere by reading parts of the poem giving the thread of the story. The programme's other half draws on a rich heritage of Nordic music known for its romantic nationalism. Well-known composers such as Sibelius – the popular Finlandia – and Grieg – the

beautiful Gjendine's Lullaby – are represented along with less-known composers like Niels Gade and Hugo Alfven. Sidoti has selected a range of their music from sacred works to pastoral and folk tunes. “All have great appeal and much charm.” Pepe Becker soprano, John Beaglehole tenor and Roger Wilson bass, are soloists with the choir in King Olaf and perform individual solos. Jenny Scarlet, accompanist for the whole concert, and Irene Lau perform the everpopular Rustle of Spring by Norwegian Christian Sinding as a piano duet. The concert is at St Paul’s Church, Kapiti Road, Paraparaumu, on Sunday from 2.30pm. Admission $25 adult, $10 student. Tickets available from choir members, or from Baptist Opportunity Shop, Waikanae, Moby Dickens, Paraparaumu Beach, Lush Gallery, Raumati Beach, Paekakariki Fruit Supply, and at the concert.

Paekakariki playwright, choreographer and performer Jan Bolwell has presented her new play Bill Massey’s Tourists in local secondary schools and at St Peters Hall in Paekakariki in the past few weeks. Her most recent performance was at Army headquarters in Auckland for the Auckland Regiment where Dame Cath Tizard introduced her play. Now she takes Bill Massey’s Tourists into Wellington for four performances at the Whitireia Performance Centre. Bill Massey’s Tourists is the story of her grandfather, Arthur Gardiner, and his experiences on the Western Front in World War One. At first her grandfather is reluctant to talk about the war, but gradually she coaxes him to reveal what actually happened to him and his mates in the trenches of France and Flanders. Army training at Sling Camp in ´ taples in France are England and at E a challenge for Arthur and his mates and provide for amusing confrontations as the Kiwis resist army discipline. The terrible tragedy of Passchendaele is a central focus of the play as the battle is depicted in

both movement and storytelling. Bill Massey’s Tourists is peppered with movement sequences set to amusing and original World War One soldiers’ ditties and war poems set to music by composer Laughton Pattrick. Projected images of Arthur and his war mates and general scenes of war are an intrinsic part of the play that also deals with opposition to the war and propaganda that was used to get young men to fight for the Empire. Lord Kitchener visited New Zealand in 1910, and one scene in the play shows schoolboys like Arthur being urged to become soldiers for the Empire. In one scene Bolwell wears an actual replica of a World War One gas mask. “I wanted to include the impact of gas on World War One soldiers, because the gassing the men experienced in the trenches certainly affected my grandfather’s health in the years following the war.” This is the third in a trilogy of solo plays Jan has written about her family. Standing on my Hands told of her father’s WW2 experiences in Egypt and Italy. Here’s Hilda! depicted her grandmother’s life and now she tells her grandfather’s war story.

SUGARY SWEET: Miss Universe New Zealand 2014 contestant Rachel Millns is calling to the community to get behind her Cupcake Fundraiser, raising money for this year’s sponsored pagent charity Variety, the Children’s Charity. PHOTO: KAP180714SPLRACHELMILLNS

CLOE WILLETTS Kapiti’s Miss Universe New Zealand 2014 contestant Rachel Millns is on a sugary sweet fundraising mission, to raise money for this year’s pageant charity Variety, the Children’s Charity. The Cupcake Fundraiser invites locals to purchase fresh locally-crafted cupcakes, which come in the decedent flavours of devil’s chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream, and vanilla mudcake with vanilla buttercream. Baked by Kapiti’s Cushla Majendie, a professional baker and family friend, the cupcakes are available in sets

of four, and cost $16 for one box, $30 for two, and $42 for three. “Cushla has very generously donated her time and money into these cupcakes, after hearing how much people enjoyed and raved about them from my 21st,” Miss Milne said. “Variety is a great cause to be supporting as it helps Kiwi children who are in need of basic supplies for an education, such as stationary and bedding. “I’m really hoping people will get behind this as every $500 raised supports a child for a year.” Rachel asks for orders to be

made by August 24, by emailing her at rach4munz@gmail.com with your name, order, total amount due, and address. On receiving orders, email

confirmation will be sent with payment details, and once payment is finalised, orders will be confirmed and delivery organised. Cupcake deliveries are set for August 31.

What’s On...

Poets find a new home base CLOE WILLETTS Poets to the People has secured a new venue for this month onwards, at Raumati Beach’s Boundary Tap and Kitchen. “We were really sorry to hear Karen and Craig announced they were ceasing trading at Valhalla at the end of June, as they’ve been such a great support for Poets to the People, and we wish them well in whatever they pursue next,” organiser Michael Keith said. With their next poetry outing taking place in the Boundary’s entertainment area this Sunday 27 July from 4-6pm, the event will see poetry guest Adrienne Jansen offer her knowledge, skills and work. Jansen, who lives in Titahi Bay and writes fiction, non-fiction and poetry for adults and children, has seen a highly active and varied career including the publication of a third novel The Score in 2013.

In accordance, she wrote a Moroccan cookbook Abdel’s Favourites, and edited The Curioseum, a book for children based on objects in Te Papa. “She also teaches short fiction and editing on the Whitireia Creative Writing Programme, and in the last year has been involved in setting up Escalator Press, a new and innovative small publishing house,” Mr Keith said. “In fact, Adrienne has been a moving force behind the development of creative writing in the Wellington region for many years. “She has also done notable work empowering people such as migrants and refugees, for whom English is not their first language, to give voice to their stories and ideas.” Mr Keith said organisers think “you will find Adrienne’s poetry observant, nuanced, witty and accessible.”

A fun filled adventure

The whole family will be transported to a different time and place as they embark on a journey full of laughs, tears and curiosity at the Hannah Playhouse this month. Capital E National Theatre for Children presents the anticipated world premiere of An Awfully Big Adventure opening on Saturday. Through innovative play, dusty coats and road cases transform into the trenches of Europe as you arrive in World War One to explore the truth about what really happened out there. An Awfully Big Adventure’s season is timed to coincide with the hundred year anniversary since the outbreak of World War One. It is a work that explores the complexity of the times, the conduct of the war, the heroes, and the impact it had on New Zealanders. Capital E’s creative producer Stephen Blackburn says “Theatre is an accessible way for young people to actively engage with the history and what really happened in World War One”. Through energetic songs and moments of Pythonesque vaudeville, this high energy ensemble of four, Barnaby Olson, Chris Sweny, Andrew Paterson and Brynley Stent, beautifully shares the unforgettable stories. “War is a big part of New Zealand history,” says Barney Olson, “I am really grateful to be a part of a theatre production which honours something that truly had an impact.” Wellington will see only four

What’s On...

Love tested by time and the horrors of war Germany, 1912. A graduate of humble origins takes up a clerical post in a steel factory. Impressed by his work the elderly owner takes him on as his private secretary. His health declining, the owner is confined to his home, where the young man moves to continue his work. There he meets the owner’s wife, a much younger woman, beautiful and reserved. As time passes the young man falls passionately in love but does not dare reveal his feelings. A romantic intrigue develops in this stifling bourgeois home, all looks and silences, without a single word or gesture of love. When the owner announces he is sending his secretary to

Rotary fellowship for top volunteer Long serving community volunteer Joan Dunkley has received a Paul Harris Fellowship, at the annual changeover of the Rotary Club of Waikanae. A Paul Harris Fellowship is the highest award given by Rotary International to those who exemplify the concept of Service Above Self. “It celebrates the involvement and commitment of Rotarians and members of the community who give extensive service and support to the communities they live in,” club president Richard Campbell said. “In all communities in New Zealand there are people who give huge amounts to their local communities. “These are people who willingly give of their time, energy, and expertise. “Joan Dunkley is the epitome of the person who gives Service Above Self, the Rotary motto which evolved from those early days when Paul Harris and his colleagues formed the first club of what is now Rotary International.” Joan hails from Lower Hutt but has lived in Waikanae for

some 25 years. Since moving to Waikanae Joan has been, and largely still is, involved with a large number of voluntary activities. Listed amongst her many contributions to the community are the following: • Waikanae Cancer Auxiliary Committee member and an active supporter of the

Auxiliary’s fund raising / welfare activities. • Past Daffodil Day coordinator for Waikanae which but still delivers fresh daffodils around Waikanae during Daffodil Day week. • Cancer Society, Wellington Division driver and, at present, coordinator for Waikanae. This involves coordinating some 20 or

so Waikanae resident drivers (including herself) who transport Waikanae residents to and from Wellington Hospital for cancer treatment. This invariably involves significant waiting time in Wellington which she puts to good use at the Wellington Office of the Cancer Society doing a variety of odd jobs.

• Mary Potter Community Hospice, Paraparaumu volunteer preparing lunches for and assisting day patients. • Mary Potter Hospice Annual Strawberry Festival where she volunteers to sell strawberries and cream as a fund raising venture. • Kapiti Coast Carers volunteer driver. • Waikanae Save the Children Shop assistant. • Former Senior Net coach / mentor. • Former “Meals on Wheels” driver. “In short if there is a job to be done caring for, supporting or assisting with the welfare of the elderly and disadvantaged in Waikanae Joan is very quick to put up her hand,” Mr Campbell said. “All in all Joan’s commitment to assisting others in the community less fortunate than herself clearly meets and exceeds Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self. “The Rotary Club of Waikanae is proud and honoured to recognise Joan with Rotary’s highest honour for service to others.”

FUNERAL DIRECTORY

Memorialisation by Andrew Malcolm

Society has used Memorials in varying ways to honour life since time began. With about 80% cremation in this region, many people simply plan to scatter the ashes after cremation, but in the end most need a place to go, a special place to remember, and usually end up putting up a permanent memorial of some sort.

Incorporating Kaitawa Crematorium

Over 20 years ago the cremation wall at Paraparaumu Beach cemetery ran out of room and it was decided to place memorial plaques around an existing rose garden.

This idea caught on so quickly that within only a few months the garden plaques were full and a new garden was needed. All the cemeteries in the district now have gardens with plaques for people to either place the ashes or simply have a special place to come to. For more information about memorials please contact a Funeral Home listed who can refer you to a company that can help.

Sally gave herself an A+ when she advertised her tuition services in Local Classiﬁeds >> localclassiﬁeds >> say it. sell it. buy it.

Former councillor Lyndy McIntyre has come out in defence of under-fire councillor Jackie Elliott. Cr Murray Bell has laid three complaints against Ms Elliott for alleged breaches of elected members’ code of conduct. The alleged breaches involve an email to a councillor, an email to a staff member and a press release criticising council staff — she has been accused of being factually incorrect and using unwarranted and threatening language. A panel comprising councillors Janet Holborow, Mike Cardiff and a senior lawyer have been interviewing councillors on the issue. Findings of the review panel should be known at a council meeting tomorrow. Ms McIntyre has written to Ms Holborow and said she should “distance yourself from the ridiculous witch hunt against another councillor and get on with the job we pay you for”. She asked Mr Cardiff and Mayor Ross Church to do the same too. Ms McIntyre said council, in recent times, had “increasingly become best known for one thing — unnecessary and petty litigation. “We are a laughing stock because, instead of getting on and making sure our district is a well-run community, known for our creative arts, wonderful environment and a caring community, we are famous for wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on illconceived legal actions. “And now you’re at it again. “Do you think the community gives a toss about Jackie Elliot’s emails to other councillors? “I certainly don’t.” She wasn’t surprised Ms Elliott or other councillors felt they “needed to go to the media to get the truth out about council’s actions. “This is what should happen in a democracy. “And what possible reason would there be for insisting that she state in a media release that her view on water meters or other issues is a ‘minority’ view. “The media covers the outcome of voting,” she said. “The community is not stupid. “We know the way the council has voted on these issues, although, of course in the case water meters, it was the mayor and councillors who were in the minority when the ignored the overwhelming opposition of the real majority — the community. “Surely the debacle over the trees has demonstrated that the community has run out of patience with a CEO, council, mayor and councillors whose first port of call is to waste our time and money on legal proceedings. “Please drop this ridiculous circus over Jackie Elliott and get on with your jobs.”

North-south clash for final TANYA WOOD Shannon will have a shot at winning the Ramsbottom Cup in the Horowhenua-Kapiti Premier rugby final this Saturday, more than 20 years after they last held the silverware aloft. Shannon led the points table all season but their semifinal clash against fourth-placed Levin Athletic at Shannon Domain was no walk in the park. Shannon manager Dean File acknowledged his team were enjoying a good season and were favourites in the semifinal, but were taking nothing for granted. “Athletic have come back in the latter half of the competition and were always going to be very strong. It was a tight match and finally we’ve come out on the right side of a semi.” Supporters of both teams needed nerves of steel on Saturday, as the lead swapped in the first half, in what was shaping up to be an epic battle. Athletic dominated at the start but missed a penalty kick and a try, not given. Shannon kicked a penalty to put the first points on the board, but were then overtaken by an Athletic try deep in the corner, converted, to trail 7-3. It was Shannon’s turn to apply the pressure resulting in a try pushed over the line, but not converted. The one-point lead was short-lived as Athletic struck back with another try, not converted, to plough ahead at 12-8. A thrilling try from Shannon, passing the ball across the front of the tryline, edged them one point ahead again at 13-12 just before the halftime whistle.

OVER THE LINE: Shannon prop Vince Hurunui, at back, can only watch as Athletic number 8 Louie Tovo dives over the line to score a try in Saturday’s Premier semifinal clash. LVN230714TWRUGBYP1

At the start of the second half, a penalty taken by Shannon shot them forward to 16-12, followed by another try, converted, to almost double their lead at 23-12. Athletic struck back, with winger Scott Anderson showing pace, chasing a kicked-through ball to score a try, not converted, reducing the gap to 23-17. Shannon missed a penalty kick but followed up with a try deep into the corner to stretch their lead back out to 28-17. With the clock ticking down, Athletic showed their mettle by taking the game to Shannon and were rewarded with a try, converted, to come within striking distance at 28-24. However, a penalty given to Shannon kicked them further ahead to 31-24. As the game went into the last minutes, the pressure mounted

and determination was etched into the face of every player to make every second count until the final whistle. A final penalty was given to Shannon and it was game over, 34-24. Shannon tryscorers were winger Maka Bal, second-five Stallone Wade, winger Nick Wickham and flanker Todd Sheilds, with fullback Anthony Porima taking the conversion and penalties. Athletic tryscorers were lock Billy Tovo (2), No 8 Louie Tovo, winger Scott Anderson, with half back Aaron Taiapa taking the two conversions. Athletic coach Peter Hirini said it was all going well for the team until the second half. “Shannon sustained the pressure and executed their game plan better than us. We’re

SPCA grocery drive for animals CLOE WILLETTS If you see a trailer parked at Kapiti’s Pak n’ Save this week it will be being used to gather donations to fill the hungry tummies of Waikanae’s SPCA residents over winter. As part of a pet food grocery drive taking place from today until next Tuesday, the donations scheme is calling for generosity from the public, in the form of a tin, bag of biscuits, or non-food essentials including cleaning products. “Over the past 12 months our busy shelter has loved, fed and cared for 385 cats and kittens, and 80 dogs and puppies — not to mention a multitude of chickens, rabbits, an assortment of goats and pigs, and a variety of wildlife,” volunteer fundraising coordinator Annette Buckley said. “The quantity of food we get through is huge, and like all large families, the grocery bill can be monstrous.”

As well as getting through “truck loads” of food for the steady flow of shelter animals, Kapiti SPCA regularly has to stock up on laundry powder and washing up liquid. “The grocery drive is a good opportunity for us to connect with the community and be there to thank the public personally for their support,” said Mrs Buckley, who will be among a team of volunteers collecting donations at Pak n’ Save on Saturday. “There are regulars who donate to our food bin, which we always appreciate. “Although we don’t like to beg, there are always times when we need a little more.”

TUMMY TO FILL: Ruby is one of 80 dogs and puppies cared for by Kapiti SPCA over the past year. The 9-week-old Shar Pei cross Labrador is one of two at the shelter, with her sister Opal.

School awash with red CLOE WILLETTS Sir Peter Blake once said having vision is not enough; change comes through realising the vision and turning it into a reality. Waikanae School supported Sir Peter Blake’s notion this month, as it fell into a wash of red on Friday July 4 on the last day of the school term. In honour of Sir Peter Blake, who was killed in December 2001, the Red Socks Day rolled around in an effort to keep the esteemed adventurer’s memory, spirit and values alive. Each year, hundreds of New Zealand schools, businesses, organisations and community groups cosy up in an array of red socks, which Sir Peter Blake wore during his endeavours as a

symbol of good luck. Senior students organised and ran a range of lunchtime activities for the event, including sack races, cup stacking, hoop throwing, skittles, and face painting. “Sir Peter Blake could not have envisaged the lucky red socks he liked to wear during the 1995 America’s Cup yachting challenge would become a symbol of the Kiwi spirit,” Waikanae School teacher Peter Corlett said. “Red Socks Day is about celebrating his leadership and remembering the contribution he made to our nation, and raising awareness about environmental concerns for our planet.” New Zealand’s Sir Peter Blake Trust, established in 2004, with the aim of inspiring and celebrating environmental
