Legal high fight onDAVIDHAXTON

Council will fight thegovernment’s reintroductionof legal high drugs into thedistrict but, as a fallbackposition, has released a draftpolicy document, for publicconsultation, that limits thesales to a small area inParaparaumu.

At Thursday’s regulatorymanagement committeemeeting, it was decidedcouncil “opposes the sale ofpsychoactive substanceswithin the Kapiti district andwill lobby the government toseek legislative change to banpsychoactive substances.”

But with the governmentdeveloping regulations forthe reintroduction of legalhighs, which means it wouldbe possible to apply for alicense to sell, the committeeapproved the release of adraft local approved products(psychoactive substances)policy for public

consultation.A key part of the policy

recommends an area inKapiti Rd, Paraparaumu, asthe most viable place for thesale of legal highs.

The area is from the FourSquare building [legal highscan’t be sold in food outlets]to the Repco building on oneside of the road, and a bit ofthe Kapiti Coast Airport landon the other side.

Council senior socialwellbeing advisor SamHutcheson said no onewanted the sale of legal highsnear them, when the areawas canvassed for reaction.

“They didn’t want it inthat area but then no onewants it in their area.”

The area wasn’t far from aCommunity Correctionsfacility but discussions withpersonnel there revealedhaving a legal high areacloser “made them knowwhat their people were up toand people could easily drive

to get legal highs anywhere”.And she was pleased the

Student Transition andReintegration Service,which is also nearby thearea, was relocating nextyear.

Banning legal highs in thedistrict could open thecouncil to a judicial review,and if council lost, the “doorcould be open to all of thesepeople who are allowed tosell, to open wherever”.

“That’s the idea of gettingthe policy in, we understandthe majority of the people inour community don’t wantit, but by making a restrictedsite available means we’renot opening up anopportunity for people to sellthroughout the entire Kapiticommunity.”

Sergeant Jacqui Muirsaid police backed the KapitiRd section.

“We believe its going to bethe best of a bad situation forthe Kapiti community.

“It’s on a main throughroad, it’s highly visible andthere’s no real hang out areafor people.

“Having a place lessaccessible but highly visible,in terms of density, is goingto make it more safe for theKapiti community.”

Cr Gavin Welsh said:“The moment we accept thislegislation [from thegovernment], without afight, then we are condoningthe use of the product in ourcommunity.”

Cr K Gurunathan said thepublic needed to have theirsay and “if we want to fightthis then we need theirsupport”.

Cr Mike Cardiff said hedidn’t want to “take a waterpistol to a gunfight”.

“We need the policy as afallback.

“Not having one is goingto be detrimental, at the endof the day, if we do end up ina gunfight.”

AROHA: An event at Waikanae’s Murphy’s Law bar on Friday night raised $4461.70 for local family the Paparas, whose home andall its contents were destroyed in a rapid late night fire just over a week ago. Jamaine Papara, who has already seen a hasty influxof community donations, said he is, “so grateful for the hundreds of people who have given to us,” with “people still pumping outdonations”.

Parking solutions needed nowWith railway station car parkingat a premium in Kapiti, GreaterWellington Regional Council hasbeen asked to give top priority tofinding solutions atParaparaumu and Waikanae orlose rail customers.

Former regional councillorChris Turver says as Kapiti’sgrowth continues he’s speakingout because it’s unconscionablethat GWRC continues to drag itsfeet on finding additionalparking.

“What’s worse is that there isno evidence of any forward

planning nor any opportunity forcommuters to have any input.”

Mr Turver says if theauthorities are not careful all theexcellent work in building up animproved rail service to Kapitiwill be wasted as people turn offusing trains and go back tousing cars because parking issuch a hassle and in some placesunsafe.

The regional council funds581car parks at Paraparaumuand 176 at Waikanae “but thatwas clearly never going to beenough right from the time

when electrification wasextended to Waikanae, a half-hour service came in, and moreattractive Matangi trains wereintroduced.”

Patronage is increasing atmore than three percent a yearand even Paekakariki, with 79car parks, can be stretched.

The issue now is that cars areparking in adjacent streets,blocking access for localresidents and businesses,reducing shopper parking, andcreating traffic hazards.

Mr Turver, a former

chairman of GWRC’s passengertransport committee and itsenvironment committee, wantsan urgent review of options toeither reduce car parkingdemand or expand car parking,including:■ extending peak time local busservices routes to pick upcommuters whose nearest busstop is currently too far awayfrom home.■ creating park-‘n-ride hubsoutside Paraparaumu andWaikanae, with frequent peaktime feeder bus services to the

train stations.Mr Turver says GWRC’s

efforts to improve train serviceshave been a success and hedoesn’t want to see the publicgoodwill that has beengenerated blown away through alack of imagination and sensibleforward planning.

“That imagination shouldinclude classifying rail travel asan environmental benefit aswell as reducing road traffic —and prioritising the GWRCbudget to recognise the dualbenefits.”

Just over a week after the devastatingfire that left the Papara family’s homein what insurers described as a “totalloss”, the community has rallied inwith an abundance of support.

Efforts included a fundraiser gig atWaikanae’s Murphy’s Law bar onFriday, which raised an incredible$4,461.70 for Jamaine and KirianaPapara, who saw their children’sbedrooms, the lounge, kitchen,bathroom and garage gutted in the latenight fire, which started when a dogbed in the garage accidently caught onfire.

Organised in less than a week byHuta Thomas of Paepae Soundsystem,Jamie Bradbury and Isaac King, theevent drew around 380 guests and sawperformances from acts SoulCollective, Jim and Roni, DJ Finatik,DJ Dangles, DJ PLEEZ, DJ Main 1, andDj EndStar.

As well as door sales, the eventcollected funds through five raffles, allof which boasted impressive prizesdonated by local businesses.

“I’m really thankful for what theydid over such a small time, for aroha,”said Mr Papara, who had alreadyreceived an entire home’s worth ofdonated items one week after the fire.

“It was an awesome night.”Money raised over the

weekend will go towards funds ina Papara family bank account, setup by friends to help cover costsuntil insurance kicks in and theycan return to a fully-refurbishedhome in around June next year.

“It’s been quite a bit harderthis week, trying to get back intoroutine and missing our home,”Mr Papara said during his firstday back at work on Monday.

“The amount of support hasbeen really humbling, fromstrangers walking up andhanding me $500, to children atKapanui School giving toys andenvelopes with 10c, 20c and dollarcoins in.

“That has really pulled ourheart strings.”

Mr Papara said while his sonsIraia, 9, and Levi, 5 were mostlyconcerned about the loss of theirrugby league shorts and a nearly-built tree fort, his two-year-olddaughter Olive Grace is missingthe comfort of home.

“For about two hours after the

fire she was shaking.“She was probably the

most affected because of thebreak in routine, and she’s areal homely girl.

“But it’s been likeChristmas for the kids, andevery day they walk homefrom school they have bagsfull of gifts.”

Mr Papara, who was mostupset by the loss of hiswedding ring and itemshanded down to him fromhis deceased father-in-law,said it is “mainly thesentimental things I’mgutted about”.

“I recommend everyonehave smoke alarms, becauseI can’t believe how quick thefire was.

“If we weren’t awake, itcould’ve ended differently.”

Mr Thomas said thehighlight of Friday eveningwas “seeing everyone get onboard with no hesitation forthe cause”.

“As we all know, Jamaine has donemany things for his community.

“He will continue to give selflesslybecause that's just the person he is.”

Limit legal high area ‘best option’Restricting sales ofpsychoactive substances orlegal highs to just one area inKapiti is the best possibleoption for the district, saysParaparaumu RaumatiCommunity Board chairwomanFiona Vining.

This follows approval bycouncil’s regulatorymanagement committee of adraft Local Approved Products

Policy (LAPP) to be followed bytwo months of communityconsultation.

While council could havechosen to impose a ban, thiswould almost certainly lead tolegal challenges and associatedcosts to ratepayers with littlechance of success, she says.

“We totally oppose the sale oflegal highs anywhere in ourdistrict and have looked at

every other possiblealternative, but we have nochoice because the law says wecan’t ban them.

“We want to send thestrongest possible message tocentral Government that this isnot good for our community andwe have invited local MPNathan Guy and Peter Dunne toour next meeting so they canhear our views.

“We will also be joiningcouncil in lobbying centralGovernment for legislativechange.”

She said the board supportscouncil’s decision to minimiseproblems resulting from theavailability of legal highs byrestricting their sale to one areawest of Kapiti Rd inParaparaumu.

“We are adamant there is no

place that is ideal, but we’vechosen a spot away from schoolsand other sensitive sites whichis also reasonably visible,discourages loitering, and isclose to medical and policeservices.

“Under the circumstances,we think it’s the best possibleoption and we look forward tohearing the community’s viewson it over the coming months.”

ALL BUSINESS: Chris Claridge is running a successful exporting business from his home in Kapiti,which sees his range of infant formula Carrickmore sold in 2600 stores across China.

‘From living inChristchurch duringthe earthquakes, welearnt you can baseyourself and your

business anywhere byusing digitaltechniques.’CHRIS CLARIDGE

A hidden business success storyis at Kapiti’s own doorstep,exposing the potential foradvanced business export fromthe coast.

“I’m intrigued by the scaleKapiti could grow business inthis community,” saidParaparaumu-based ChrisClaridge, director ofCarrickmore infant formularange.

Carrickmore, a productavailable in 2600 stores in 92cities across China, is the largestof around 20 infant formulabrands currently exported fromNew Zealand.

As one of the first NewZealand companies to haveexported to China, Carrickmorehas a team of 50 staff in China,where it feeds about 25,000babies.

A digital media professionaland food technologist, father oftwo Mr Claridge has travelled toChina 18 times over the last threeyears, to meet with buyers,distributors and store owners.

“I was always interested inscience and the science of food,before ending up in the ad mediaworld,” said Mr Claridge,founder of the New ZealandInfant Formula ExportersAssociation.

“My family’s been involved infood production companies sincethe 80s.”

Now working alongside wifeCarol from their Paraparaumuhome, alongside neighbour and

employee Kim McCallum, MrClaridge is the mind behind thecompany’s product design andmarketing as an authentic andgreen cow’s milk formula.

Having shifted to Kapiti fromChristchurch after 2011’searthquakes, Mr Claridge saidhis move was heavily influenced

by the accessibility of digitalmedia.

“From living in Christchurchduring the earthquakes, welearnt you can base yourself andyour business anywhere byusing digital techniques.

“I’ve taken what I learnt fromthe digital media world and

applied it to the dairy and foodand beverage sectors.”

Now connecting withconsumers in China throughonline media including acompany website and socialmedia, the Carrickmore brand isback in full force following athree month sales hurdle after

last year’s Fonterra botulismscare in China.

“We’ve subsequentlyrecovered,” said Mr Claridge,who went to extensive measuresto rebuild New Zealand producttrust in China.

“I led a delegation up to Chinaand travelled up with the primeminister, and we did a lot of PRwork and had to communicate alot with our consumers,distributors and retailers. “

Currently is in the midst oflaunching a media campaign onCCTV, Carrickmore saw atelevision advertisement shot inKapiti recently, set to run onChinese television.

“A production team filmed itat our home office, and some ofour extended family wasinvolved.

“That’s the great thing aboutrunning an export business —you can run it from just aboutanywhere.”

Collaborating for the good of KapitiSometimes, it pays to fight forKapiti as a member of a regionalteam. Collaborating and workingwith our neighbours can bringus benefits we might not be ableto achieve alone.

The benefits of collaborationwere underlined by the RegionalMayors’ Forum I attendedrecently. This brought togethermayors from Kapiti, Porirua,Wellington, Upper and LowerHutt, Masterton, Carterton andSouth Wairarapa, along with thechair of the Greater WellingtonRegional Council and five localMPs.

The forum gives us a chanceto target areas where we all canbenefit by working as a team.Already, areas of collaboration

are bearing fruit.One is creating a regional

approach to emergencymanagement through WREMO,the Wellington RegionEmergency Management Office.This was formed in 2012 after theCanterbury earthquakeshighlighted the need for regionsto organise a joint response in amajor civil defence emergency.

A second example ofcollaboration is the creation of

WREDA, the WellingtonRegional Economic DevelopmentAgency, to drive growth acrossthe entire region.

In our view, if it’s good for theregion, it will also be good forKapiti. We’ll share in the spoils.

To give an example, as aregion we will work together tobring major events to the regionand select the strengths of eachdistrict to make the best-possible“pitch” to the event organisers.

We can decide which districthas the best venues forparticular events, which offerthe best support logistics andhow other districts can lend ahand.

A good example of Kapitibenefitting from this kind of

collaboration is the hockey tests.The two games here were a greatsuccess and the question is —can we build on this?

We have the best hockey turfin the region so it makes sense tohave some of the top tests inKapiti, just as it makes sense tohave the top rugby tests at theWestpac Stadium in Wellington.

Each district will get a chanceto be in the business, sport andtourism limelight and eachdistrict has a say. I am the Kapitirepresentative at the decision-making table and can vouch forthe fact WREDA gives us accessto far greater resources than wecould possibly call on byourselves.

If we stayed out, we would be a

lone voice competing against ourneighbours.

A third regional collaborationis lobbying for the extension ofWellington Airport runway. Theforum heard a presentation onhow the extension could give usan international hub for directflights from Asia and the USA.

This in not just a tourism orbusiness issue. The Wellingtonregion is under-represented inforeign student numberscompared to Auckland.

Direct international airaccess would help solve that bymaking it easier for overseasfamilies to visit their children —while not undermining KapitiAirport’s status as our domesticgateway.

Local councils ‘the meat in sandwich’What’s in a name? Well, ask theMinistry of Health why theywant to enforce the introductionof psychoactive drugs into localcommunities under theinnocuously named ‘LocalApproved Products’.

It gives the impression thatit’s a local product, one supposeslike those sold in local farmers’markets. It also gives theimpression it has the approval oflocal communities. This wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing strategy isdesigned to disarm communityopposition.

It is also designed to makelocal councils active agents of theCentral Government in creatingLocal Approved ProductsPolicies which will designate

places where these legaliseddrugs can be sold. They term it“harm minimisation”.

Whatever the risk-management rationale, theMinistry of Health cites to justifythe legalisation of thesesynthetic drugs, there iswidespread public oppositionacross the country against itslegalisation. The Government’srequirement of local authorities,to introduce designated areas forthe sale of these drugs, havemade local councils the meat in

the sandwich between CentralGovernment intentions andmassive public opposition. In thelocal grass roots context, councilstaff have become the meat in thesandwich. In advising electedmembers, they are obliged topursue this Central Governmentdirective. On the other hand,elected members, asrepresentatives of the people’sinterest, have to represent thepeople’s will. In the Kapiticontext, council staff workingwith Regional Health and thePolice have identified the KapitiWest area as the least risky areafor the sale of these drugs. MyParaparaumu Ward colleague CrBell and I have door-knockedbusinesses in this area and close

to 100 per cent have said they areopposed to any such outlets.

This week, a petitionorganised by these businessescites their fears: “It will attractdrug consumers from north ofOtaki and south of Paekakariki.Our business area will be turnedinto a black spot with loitering,criminal activities, police andmedical emergencies, parkingproblems and potential conflictswith our regular customers. Thisis the busiest and most congestedroad in the district and drugintoxicated drivers will be adangerous threat to safety”.These are real concernsexacerbated by the fact that theGovernment has not got itsregulatory framework on sales

sorted. Neither has its testingregime on the manufacture ofthese products been completed.Its testing regime had failedbefore and there is no guaranteeit will not fail again. Effectively,it’s a cart before the horsescenario.

Given the dilemma localgovernment staff and electedmembers have been put to byCentral Government, theultimate voice must be those ofour local communities. The voiceof the people. The formal publicconsultation period between nowand January, 30 2015 is theopportunity for that voice to beheard. I urge the public to letcouncil and Central Governmentknow exactly what that is.

Wendy HustonChief Executive Officer,Kapiti Retirement Trust

Lodge DriveParaparaumu,

04 297 [email protected]

Acalculation in 2011 showed that a quarter of NZ adults

volunteer around 270million hours each year.This

incorporates the obvious – involvement in sports, cultural

and service organisations. For us, it’s about the wonderful

people locally who volunteer at a personal level to support

those who have limited access to the wider community.

That is, our elderly residents living in our aged care hospital,

The Lodge at Sevenoaks and those who come from the

community to our day respite centre, the Nikau Club located

in the grounds of Sevenoaks.

We are so very fortunate to have a team of over 50

individuals who volunteer what time they can, to support

our residents.They range in age from9 to over 90 and

each bring their individual skills and cheerful, positive

personalities with them.Some come regularly each week.

Others comewhen and if they canmake it.They provide to

residents the one thing staff sometime struggle to find –

time.Time to talk, to listen, to care.Time just to be there and

most of all, a willingness to be kind.

As with all things these days, it isn’t just a case of turning up

and doing what comes to hand.Managed by our employed

Lifestyle and Leisure team of Dene, Paul, Brenda and Gail,

all volunteers complete an orientation programme, have the

opportunity to attend a voluntary training day annually and

of course, as is required in today’s world, are prepared to

have a police check carried out on them.

The range of ways in which they so generously support

is as wide as the backgrounds of those who come. Some

bring their well trained dogs to visit residents who have had

loved pets in the past. Others read, provide handmassages

ormanicures, sit and chat or helpmove and bewith

residents as they attend group activities organised by the

Lifestyle and Leisure team.Thismay be to bingo sessions,

groups such as our GoodMates Club or to the regular

movie sessions, complete with popcorn.The number

of volunteersmean that at the craft sessions held on a

Thursday afternoon each resident has someone to work

with them one-on-one with the activity at hand.This results

in great outcomeswhich gives the resident both pleasure

and pride.There are those volunteers who on a regular basis

generously give of their time to run church services, sing-

alongs and provide piano recitals and the like.

Thenwe have a group of wonderful volunteers who drive

ourmobility van; transporting people to and from the Nikau

Club and those who help with themidday lunch and the

many activities that occur on a daily basis.

We also have people whowhile not volunteers, come into

the Lodge as part of groups to entertain the residents.We

have talented groups who dance or aremembers of choral

and instrumental groups.Afirm favourite with residents

are the children’s groups, especially in the school holidays,

or as we lead up to events such as Christmas, come and

sing, dance and entertain. Dene Hopkins,manager of the

Lifestyle and Leisure team is always keen to hear from new

groups who enjoy an appreciative audience.

December 5 is International Volunteer Day. I would like to

take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our

volunteers for their generosity and kindness over the past

year. I would also like to put the challenge out to everyone

in the community – to paraphrase that well known saying:

“Ask not what your community can do for you but what can

you do for it?”Considermaking a new year’s resolution for

2015. Become a volunteer – for whatever cause takes your

fancy. If you are a parent, take your children along with you.

Share with them the joy of giving.

Hot issue movedto back burner

Cr Mike CardiffDeputy Mayor Kapiti District

View fromthe Chair

‘We have been told to expectan announcement any day butall indications are that much ofthe puff has gone out of themomentum for change.’

Central Government’s requirement forlocal government reorganisation withinthe Wellington region was implementedwith the underlying indication that ourregion could possibly be the next supercity off the rank, as the status quo withexisting territorial governance was notan option.

Well how many of us thought that thiswas a good idea? The district surveyundertaken in Kapiti in May last yearwas certainly not conclusive either wayas there was little detail of any financialimplications.

While the Auckland Super Cityexample has delivered general benefitsto ratepayers in the initial period, andthere have been reduced levels ofexpenditure, chinks in the armour arenow starting to appear with controversyover the stated net percentage rateincrease for the next financial year andwhat that will amount to for individualproperties.

So where are we now in theWellington region with ourreorganisation proposal? What hascome of the different submissions theLocal Government Commissionreceived from the nine territorialauthorities? The only councils to agreewith one another were the threeWairarapa councils, whose applicationto become a single unitary authoritywas supported by Kapiti. GreaterWellington Regional Council favoured asingle-city option, which our district didnot support.

Despite all the mayoral meetings,posturing, jockeying and sabre rattlingby politicians along with considerableregional ratepayer expenditure bycouncils trying to convince the hoipolloi that they have the bestreorganisation option, not much hasbeen determined at all, definitely nothelped by the delay of any resolution

from the Local GovernmentCommission.

We have been told to expect anannouncement any day but allindications are that much of the puff hasgone out of the momentum for change.

The fact remains that more than halfKapiti residents voted to maintain thestatus quo and why wouldn’t they? Ourdistrict is growing and prospering andunlike other established councils ourinfrastructure is relatively new. Surethis has pushed our interest financecosts up but our debt per annum perratepayer, of $259 for interest repaymenton debt, compares with Auckland, at$665, Dunedin $651, Tauranga $512,Wellington $306 and Porirua $192 — sowe are not in a too bad a position.

In case you are wondering what ouroperating costs are per ratepayer, wehave the second lowest overall out of the67 local authorities. When we addfinance costs we rank fourth lowest.

My take on the eventual localgovernment reorganisation within ourregion — be careful for what you wishand vote for.

Prehab works beforerehab is necessaryPrehab is the new and funky word givento exercises that you do to prevent youfrom getting injured, so opposite torehabilitation which is what you do torepair the body after injury.

Prehab exercises are often prescribedat the start of strength or conditioningsessions and they really focus in on thestabilising muscles that are often weakand susceptible to injury. People mayhave had injuries in the past and this willdictate what type of prehab exercises theyare prescribed eg someone who has hadshoulder problems with broken bones ormuscular injuries would have shoulderstrengthening exercises in there prehabprogramme which concentrates them ongetting strength around the shoulderjoint.

When you are injury free and keepingactive you can often think what is thepoint of doing these exercises when I’mnot even injured or have never beeninjured, well that’s exactly the point.

It’s all about maintaining that healthybody and doing everything in your powerto remain injury free, even if it meansdoing monotonous exercises prior to‘working out’. The more we over use ourbodies and place more stress on themthrough exercise, poor posture andfatigue the more susceptible they become

to injury. The smaller stabilising musclesare often the ones that fatigue first whichhas a knock on effect to bigger musclegroups such as the hamstrings,quadriceps or back musculature.

You’ll notice lots of athletes havehamstring strains, this is often the resultof the stabilising muscles around thehips/pelvic starting to fatigue and themuscles become over stretched becausethe pelvis isn’t held as steady underfatigue.

A good prehab programme shouldassess previous injuries and bare in mindthe sport or activities you regularlyparticipate in.

Areas to focus on generally are thegluteals (bum muscles), hip flexors (top ofthe thighs), lower abdominals, coremuscles (this includes lower back) andcalfs (lower leg).

See a health and fitness professionaland/or physiotherapist for help with yourPrehab program.

Government focuson water qualityThis Government has a real focus onimproving water quality, sustainabilityand the environment, and balancing thiswith jobs and growth.

It’s great therefore to see a progressreport detailing the work achieved underManawatu River Leader’s Accord.

The Manawatu River Accord received$5.2 million funding from theGovernment, which will contribute torestoring the health and overall quality ofthe Manawatu River (pictured).

Partners and supporters of the accordalso include Horizons Regional Council,Horowhenua District Council, local iwiand industry.

I realise the importance of waterquality, not only on our domestic life, butalso our international reputation.

That is why initiatives such as theManawatu River Accord are soimportant. During its short time frame,the accord has started to deliverwastewater treatment upgrades, fencedoff over 200km of streams, started fishrestoration projects and planted 66,000plants.

All of these efforts, achieved bynumerous groups, have all contributed tothe success of the Accord. And the LakeHorowhenua Accord has an action plan toachieve by 2016.

Both of these environmental effortswill go a long way to restoring the health

of our region’s resources.Talking health and well-being,

congratulations to MenzShed Kapiti whowere recognised at the WellingtonAirport Regional Community Awards.

I have visited MenzShed at WaikanaeBeach and it brings local residentstogether in a friendly environment towork on building and maintenanceprojects for the community.

There is another shed in Kapiti that isalso making waves. The Kapiti ShedProject is a local organisation that existsto provide opportunities for men withdisabilities to contribute in a workingenvironment.

‘The Shed’ receives funding from theGovernment, community trusts andbusinesses. It recently expanded toemploy four people.

Importantly, it allows disabled peoplethe chance to experience a workingenvironment and cross certain barriersthey may never have had the chance tobefore.

Both sheds are making a positivedifference in our community. Keep up thegood work.

WRITE TO USRigorous reviewI read with interest councillorGurunathan’s protestations in lastweek’s issue of the Kapiti Newsregarding the appointment of asub-committee of council toconduct the chief executive’sannual performance review.

Yes, in the the “corporateworld” as he describes it, it is usualfor the chief executive to besubjected to a rigorous annualperformance review.

It is also common practice for asub-committee of the board ofdirectors to undertake this review,not the whole board or wholecouncil, as the writer is suggestingshould happen in the case of theKapiti Coast District Council(KCDC) chief executive.

Corporates usually have sub-committees to deal with reviews of,inter alia, governance, riskmanagement, audit and financial,remuneration and humanresources, and these sub-committees are generally drawnfrom a small number of the non-executive members of the board.

In the case of KCDC, the sub-committee the writer refers tocomprises five council membersand the mayor as chairman.

In terms of numbers, this isprobably more than enough.Having the chief executive front upto an inquisition by the wholecouncil would be a completeoverkill.

Doesn’t the KCDC conduct alarge portion of its businessactivities through sub-committeesof council? So why should theannual performance review of thechief executive be any different?

If the whole council wants toparade and participate in thisreview, it doesn’t say much for thetime and effort the mayor, aschairman of that committee, putsinto making sure the process will

be both rigorous andcomprehensive and that the bestpeople to undertake the reviewhave been selected for the task.

Onebite is onetoomanyI would like to give a perspectivefrom a dog owner whose dog wasattacked by two dogs that wereroaming in a public place.

We were walking our dog on hislead when two dogs appearedbefore us. We had encounteredthese dogs on earlier walks in thearea.

The instigator of the attack, abull terrier, raced towards us andattacked our dog.

My husband kicked him awaybut the bull terrier then wentstraight for our dog’s rear-end andlocked his jaw firmly on.

The owner, who had no controlover these dogs, attempted to

unlatch her dog’s jaw from ourdog’s rear-end while the other dogwas still attacking my husbandand our dog.

This frenzied attack went on for30 seconds or more.

Eventually, our dog was freedfrom the jaws of the bull terrier.

Our dog received laceration tohis hind leg, requiring stitches.The vet bill was $350.

My husband also received alaceration to his leg.

Having witnessed this attack, Iwould not have been able to defendour dog nor myself if I had been onmy own.

Our grandchildren often takethe dog for a walk, but this optionwill have to be revisited after thisincident.

There was no apology at thetime of the attack, nor any interestin our dog’s welfare.

Had there not beenintervention by my husband andthe bull terrier owner, the outcomecould have been far more serious.

Should these dogs get anotherchance to attack you or your dog?Certainly not. One bite is one bitetoo many.

We want to have our streets andpublic areas safe for people, andour pets should be able to walkwithout fear of vicious dog attacks.

Do we want Kapiti Coast tohave a reputation for dogsattacking other dogs in publicareas as being acceptablebehaviour?

MisinformationcirculatesI happened to be attending thecouncil meeting at which MsPadamsey raised the issue ofperceived bias arising from CrAmmundsen’s quoted comment

about the proposed district planand am surprised at themisinformation that is beingcirculated.

At no time did I hear MsPadamsey cast doubt on thecouncillor’s integrity.

She quite properly raised thepoint that Cr Ammundsen, byexpressing a view regarding theproposed District Plan beforesubmissions on the proposed planhad been determined, may havecreated a perception of bias.

It was my understanding that,because of this perception of bias,Ms Padamsey suggested thecouncillor should step aside fromthe hearings process.

As far as I know, the issue ofbias is something that can only bedetermined by the court.

Even if the decision maker’sintegrity is beyond question, Iunderstand it would be possible forthe court, depending on theevidence before it, to decide it ismore likely than not a decisionwas biased.

I would have thought a wisedecision-maker would manage therisk of a decision being challengedon grounds of bias by declining toparticipate in making a decisionon any matter in which they hadprior involvement, particularlywhen a comment has appeared inthe public arena.

The councillor appears to havepreferred to take a stand thatprevents any discussion of theissue.

It is surprising an experiencedpolitician like Cr Ammundsenappears to have chosen to take theissue raised by Ms Padamsey as anattack on her integrity.

A smoke screen has now beencreated which obscures the moreimportant question of whether acurrent or former councillor whowas involved in planning processshould be appointed a hearing

commissioner because there isrisk of bias, howeverunintentional that may be.

It is now difficult for the councilto properly asses the level of risk tothe planning process present inappointing hearingcommissioners from amongstcurrent or former electedrepresentatives without appearingto take sides in what seems to be apersonal dispute.

Because bias is ultimately amatter for determination by thecourt, I would have thought nolegal opinion could give absolutecertainty on the outcome of anyaction so risk avoidance is thebetter strategy.

Surely a sound risk-management strategy would be forthe council to adopt a policy thattotally independent people will beappointed to hear submissions andmake decisions on any matterwhere councillors have had priorinvolvement?

Paraparaumu BeachSaturday Market

The Paraparaumu Beach SaturdayMarket is celebrating its 15th

year in Kapiti this weekend, after acolourful journey growing onthe coast.

In what started in November 1999and originally called The LighthouseMarket, Kapiti’s popular weeklymarket has come a long wayfollowing shifts, new ownerships andthe expansion of local stallholders.

Bought from founder Don Eade bythen-manager Kevin Jones and KapitiCoffee Company owner WarwickHalcrow, the market shifted to itscurrent location behind SeaviewRoad Four Square in 2005, afternegotiation with local businessowners including Harvey's RealEstate, Kapiti Club and the owner ofParaparaumu Beach’s MarineParade properties.

"Things were a bit wobbly at thattime, so we ran a petition in supportof the market, which gathered over a1000 signatures from the public andmore than ninety per cent of localbusinesses which I presented to theCommunity Board and Council,”Mr Halcrow said.

Today, the market is booming withmore stalls and a greater varietythan ever becomming an important

asset at Kapiti’s beachfront shoppingcentre.

"It's fantastic that after 15 yearsit keeps on growing, both in stallnumbers and in quality.

“It attracts a lot of people onSaturdays, which benefits localbusinesses, who we have developeda good working relationship with.”

Mr Jones said the market is “morethan just a place to buy and sellthings - it is like a community centrewithout walls”.

“People enjoy the social aspect of it,which sees friends and neighboursmingle and chat, community groupscome together, and a collection offundraisers, politicians, and buskersand artists.

"We do our best to provide acommunity service where we can."

Mr Halcrow said while it is notstrictly a farmer’s market, it servesthat purpose “with fresh localproduce and artisan foods the mainattraction”.

In addition to stalls boasting a rangeof clothing, plants, books, knickknacks, furniture and jewellery, themarket is recognised for its selectionof fresh produce.

Browsers have access to localfruit, vegetables and herbs, artisanbreads, baked goods includinggluten free, locally-caught seafood,confectionary, coffee, preserves andjams, honey, sausages olive oil andsauces.

“One of the values of the market isit's an incubator for small businessstart-ups,” said Mr Halcrow, whodescribed it as a really cost, low riskway to enter the market.

“We’ve have had a number ofsuccessful new businesses beginhere, who have gone on to biggerthings – including Thorobread, apioneer in gluten free breads, andthe Kapiti Coffee Company.”

With the market likely to outgrowits current space, Mr Halcrowand Mr Jones are talking with theBeach Business Association aboutapproaching council, to potentiallyclose part of MacLean Street onSaturday mornings.

"This Saturday, we will celebrate thelast 15 years and thank all our loyalstallholders who have made thismarket the success it is.”

Celebrates 15 Years

The Paraparaumu Beach Market would like to thankHarvey's Real Estate, the Kapiti Club, Beachcomber Cafe, Peter O'Connell, Babyphunk,Shona Moller, Seaview Road Four Square, Ballantynes and Beach FM for their support.

Warwick and Kevin with Vi Elks one the very

first stallholders (now retired) Vi is 90 this year.

Passport to health

“Old age ain’t no place for sissies,”according to Bette Davis.

While this is no doubt true, there aresome things that we can do to makeageing less challenging.

One new innovation I have justdiscovered is a document called a HealthPassport, put out by the Health andDisability Commissioner.

Why would anyone be interested inusing such a document?

I quote from one of the informationpamphlets: “Tired of being asked thesame health and disability questions bymedical staff? If you have disabilitiesand/or communication issues,completing and carrying your ownpersonal Health Passport with you willprovide medical staff with theinformation they need to support you.”

Some of you might be wonderingwhether such a document is relevant,but we also need to remember that whileone in four New Zealanders have a levelof disability, that increases to 50 percent of retirees, and if we considerMaori and Polynesian, then that figure

increases to 60 per cent.So, what do we write in the passport?

The first section involves ‘things youmust know about me’ and covers yourmedical history.

Section B is ‘things that areimportant to me’, giving informationthat relates to your everyday life, whilethe third section is for other usefulinformation.

To me, the value of this document willhinge on me making sure I have it withme most of the time.

I am violently allergic to one form ofcommon pain relief medication, so forthat reason alone it will make my lifesimpler.

And, while we can rely upon theelectronic information to be available inmost circumstances, it pays to recognisethat there are still places in NewZealand where there is no cellphonecoverage and to be involved in a healthscare or an accident in those areas willmake your Health Passport a vitaldocument.

Where can these Health Passports beobtained?

They are available from your localGP, out-patient department, hospital,and online from www.hdc.org.nz

Kapiti Youth Support wasbehind a skill-building artprogramme that unearthed afusion of young talent at thismonth’s Kapiti Arts Trail.

Having run for 11 weeks, theart programme challenged thecreative hand of three localgirls, and was run by talentedWaikanae-based portraitureartist Kylie King-Hazel.

Mrs King-Hazel, who was alsorecently invited by the Ministryof Justice to teach art to youngoffenders, said she noticedstraight away obvious talents inthe young trio.

“I came into this not reallyexpecting the level of talent thegirls all have.

“I’m proud to see whatthey’ve done.”

In what began as a freestyledoodling session, theprogramme taught the girlsdiverse drawing techniquesusing pencils, charcoal andpastels, before inviting them toproduce detailed work for thearts trail, which were exhibitedat the KYS building onNovember 15 and 16.

Selected to participate in theprogramme as members of KYS’youth mentoring programmeStepping Stones, the girls“demonstrated an eagerness tocontinue with their art”,according to KYS social workerChristina Frantik.

Miss Frantik said SteppingStones is dedicated to looking atthe strengths and resiliency ofyoung people, and helping themgrow their talents and interestsin order to deter them fromcriminal activity, increase

stability in school, and becomesupportive members of ourcommunity.

“The girls were selectedbecause their strength andinterest was art, and there wereno current programmes orpathways for them.

“We started the artprogramme with the arts trail inmind as the end goal, and it wentreally well with the girls sellingall their work within the first

hour and a half.”Miss Frantik said she hopes

to see KYS receive funding tocontinue running the artprogramme, for both males andfemales.

“We’re also currently inpartnership with Fit Clubproviding fitness groups foryoung people between the agesof 12-16, and hope to startcreative writing and sportsgroups in the early New Year.”

Programme participantRuby-Mei Franklin, 15, who sawone of her works purchased inCanada after a photo was postedonline, is using the $115 earnedfrom her sold work to purchaseart supplies. Angel-Lee Nicol, 14,who drew a horse and called itDemolition “because of the ponyclub being demolished” sold herpiece for $60, while EllaHobcraft, 14, sold her detailedsketch of a set of eyes for $50.

The girls said the sale of theirwork made them a lot moremotivated, and had boostedtheir confidence as artists.

“I wanted these girls to seewhat it was like to finishsomething, and then be able tosell it and be proud ofthemselves,” Mrs King-Hazelsaid.

“They’re so talented, thereare endless opportunities forthem.”

Donated giftsto spreadfestive cheer

ANGEL: Lila Speight, 3, gifting the first present at an angel tree at Paraparaumu’s TheWarehouse on Friday. The angel trees, found in five locations around Kapiti, will see about150 Kapiti children receive Christmas presents this season, who otherwise may not have.

Paper angels are gracing the branchesof trees across Kapiti, in an endeavourto draw smiles from children thisChristmas.

Following data provided by localschools, organisations and supportagencies, including Child Youth andFamily, up to 150 Kapiti children willreceive a donated gift for Christmasthanks to the angel tree scheme.

Taken over by Ngahina FamilyCentre this year, after being run by TheLight House for 12 years, the projectinvites members of the public to leave agift for a child under one of five trees inParaparaumu and Waikanae.

Ngahina Family Centre managerLawrence Kirby said the idea is toensure no child misses out thisChristmas.

“It’s as easy as walking to an angeltree, grabbing an angel, and finding thegender and age of a child on the back.

“Then you buy a $20 gift suitable forthat age and drop it back in the box atthe base of the tree, with the angelattached, and we’ll process it fromthere.”

Mr Kirby said alternatively, giftvouchers to the value of $20 can begiven, and cash donations madedirectly to the Ngahina Family Centreaccount.

“The centre exists to supportfamilies and this time of year is

particularly stressful when it comes tofinancial pressure, and we’re veryaware some families don’t have sparecash to buy presents for their kids.”

Ngahina Family Centre, a mostlynot-for-profit organisation establishedin 2006, works with children andparents to “support families on theCoast to become great families”.

As well as having a contract with theMinistry of Education to run anIncredible Years parentingprogramme, the family centre offers aKapiti Allsorts programme.

Kapiti Allsorts, run in inpartnership with Wellington-basedmental health support providerAtareira, works with children whoseparents have mental health issues.

This Saturday will see a sausagesizzle outside The Warehouse from10am to 2pm, with all funds raisedgoing towards gifts for the angle trees.

This year’s angel tree line upincludes locations at The Warehouse,Westpac in Coastlands, ParaparaumuFamily Church at 6 Ngahina St, andWaikanae daycare centers Castle Kidsand ABC.

Mr Kirby said part of the scheme isto enable parents, caregivers andguardians the opportunity to deliverthe gift to the child themselves.

“We want them to have the pleasureof giving that present, becauseempowering them is really importantfor us.”

Co enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) isvitamin-like compound made inyour liver to make energy andalso as an antioxidant to protectcells and tissues. Age, diseaseand medications can all reduceCoQ10 causing fatigue and otherproblems. Today we summarisethe main points discussed in inthe recent columns on Co Q10.

The main function of CoQ10is its role in the final stages ofmaking the energy our bodyneeds.This is little like your carfuel line to move fuel from thefuel tank to the engine. In itsubiquinone form CoQ10 acceptselectrons (H+) released fromfood and moves these to makethe energy we need to live.

The parts of our body’s that needthe most CoQ10 are our heart,brain, muscles and nerves.Therearegoodstudiesshowingbenefitsfor supplementing CoQ10 forthings like cardiomyopathy andvarious heart rhythm issues.

The most common reason totake extra CoQ10 are thosetakingstatincholesterol loweringmedications. These can reducecirculating CoQ10 by as much as50% and is the main cause of themuscle, energy and memory-

loss side effects. In most casestaking good quality CoQ10 canrapidly resolve these side effects.

A client on statins rang metoday and told me that after only2 weeks his energy and vitalityhad returned. We put him ona double dose of CoQsol® plussome Omega 3 and a good multi-nutritional programme. He saidit is like his old self returning.

Health conditions especiallyautoimmune disease andneurodegenerative disease canalso reduce CoQ10 production.I am sure the tirednesspeople with these conditionsexperience is largely about lowCoQ10 levels.For example, I willalmost always include CoQ10in my Polymyalgia recoveryprogramme.Feel free to contactme if you need help or moreinformation. Feel free to call meif you want more information.

Bradley keeps coolamong hot Kiwi stars

TALENT: Kapiti-based music photographer Bradley Garner, right, withwinner of the Vodafone New Zealand Music Award’s Best Roots Album,Tama Waipara, who received the win for his album Fill up the Silence.

PACKED: A wide shot taken by Bradley Garner of the crowd at Auckland’s Vector Arena on Thursdayevening.

CLOEWILLETTS

Kapiti talent was among thecollection of artists, guests andmedia at last Thursday’sVodafone New Zealand MusicAwards.

Bradley Garner, Kapiti’s multi-talented Waikanae based music,event and commercialphotographer, was invited bymusic website muzic.net.nz tophotograph the 49th annual event,which was held at Auckland’sVector Arena and saw musicianssuch as Lorde grace the stage.

In Auckland from Tuesday toSunday last week, Mr Garner saidone of the most interestingfeatures of the “relatively easy jobphotography-wise” was seeingLorde’s reaction to her escalatingnational celebrity status, madeevident through her win of six Tuiawards on the night.

“Lorde definitely pulled theattention,” said Mr Garner, wholanded five photography jobsduring his four day stay up north.

Mr Garner, who was invited tothe after party in the arena’sfoyer, said New Zealand-bornsinger Stan Walker made animpact on the night, as a “reallyhumble and friendly guy” whostayed on the red carpet for anextended period of time to greetfans.

While Kapiti’s busy 21-year-oldsaid being paparazzi is not hisusual forte, the night played out asan opportunity for reunion catch-ups with friends and meeting newpeople.

“It was really great seeingfriends I haven’t in a while, so itwas like a little reunion.

“It was cool to see a fewfamiliar faces from bands I’veworked with including Blacklistand Saving Grace, whointerestingly enough are a metalband, which is quite rare for anevent like the Vodafone NewZealand Music Awards.”

In a hectic business trip thatincluded a launch shoot for a newcafe on Auckland’s Queens Street,a modeling shoot, video andphotography coverage of NewZealand band Devilskin at RealGroovy, and shooting Miss InkNew Zealand, the awards eventstood out as “an all-round goodevening”.

“All up, putting sleep aside, Ihad about two hours in Aucklandwhere I could go and chill, and the

rest of the time I was shooting orediting,” said Mr Garner, who wasstraight back into work onMonday.

“To be completely honest,while the jobs were amazing and Ilearnt a lot and met a ton of people,I missed my little beach pad inPaekakariki a bit.

“Now I’m looking forward torelaxing by the beach, pulling outmy laptop and doing a whole lot ofediting.”


With summer now creeping in,

PARAPARAUMU’SRAW PLANET JUICE BARand RAWTREAT CAFE hasopened its doors, offering a freshand authentic range of food andbeverages that are as healthy asthey are tasty.From organic juices and smoothies,to superfoods including raw veganpizza, organic real fruit ice-cream,

Teacher shares Korean experience

AWARENESS: Evelien Hofkens, back middle, spent her school holidays in South Korea. PHOTO: KAP241114SPLASIA

Paraparaumu College isanother step closer to its goal ofgetting its students “AsiaAware” and ready for thefuture.

English and media studiesteacher Evelien Hofkens spenther school holidays in SouthKorea as part of the Asia NewZealand Foundation KoreanStudy Workshop. She was one of10 teachers nationwide selectedfor the programme, which was aunique professional learningopportunity that immersedteachers in first-hand learningand reflection.

The objectives were toexplore intercultural issues,learn about Korea as one of theworld’s fastest emerging social,cultural and economicpowerhouses and to enableteachers to share theseexperiences with their schoolcommunities.

“A highlight was theopportunity to speak withKorean high school studentsand compare their educationalexperiences to those of studentsin New Zealand,” Miss Hofkenssaid.

“It was an eye-opener to seethe extremely high expectationsthat are placed on teenagers inKorea, by their parents, but alsorefreshing to see that many ofthe students hold similar valuesto what we see from teenagersback home.”

Miss Hofkens is developing aunit of work for Kiwi studentsabout the media representationof Korea and its people.

“We have a lot ofmisconceptions about Korea, dueto the media content we see beingfocused mainly on North Korea.

“South Korea is a modern,friendly and culturally-richcountry that I would encourageall New Zealanders to visit ifthey get the chance.”

Paraparaumu College hasalso just been awarded an Asia

New Zealand grant to developan Asia Awareness programmein the school.

This will provide support toset up the programme, whichMiss Hofkens is keen to beinvolved in, along with Helen

Benson, who earlier this yearwent on a similar study trip toChina.

“Our ties to the Asiancontinent will only continue tostrengthen as time goes on,both economically and

culturally. We have to makesure that this generation ofstudents will be ready for whatthe future brings and see whata diverse and magnificentworld exists beyond ourborders.”

Stirring but not Loach’s top workREVIEW

FILM: Jimmy’s HallRATING: (M)LENGTH: 1h 49mSCREENING: Shoreline CinemaWaikanae

Ireland has been on Ken Loach’s mindbefore, first with the 1990 Belfast thrillerHidden Agenda and then his 2006 Irish Warof Independence drama The Wind thatShakes the Barley. Now, with the rousing,quietly angry and slyly romantic Jimmy’sHall (rumoured to be the 77-year-old’s lastfeature film), Loach returns, to unearth thetrue story of 1930s folk hero James Gralton.If you’ve never heard of Gralton, don’tworry, few have: he was a communityleader unpopular with landowners and thechurch in 1920s and 1930s County Leitrim.Mixing politics and education with fun,Gralton opened a village dancehall-cum-study centre where locals could educatethemselves and kick their heels back.Eventually the government booted him outof the country.

Here, as in The Wind that Shakes the

Barley, Loach is concerned with the failureof Irish society to reject conservative forcesat the point of independence from Britishrule in the 1920s. He gives us a tragicomicperiod tale that highlights the absurdities ofstate and religious repression. It’s also a

celebration of people coming together,talking and having fun in the name of ahigher cause. The sense of history is vividbut unfussy, and Loach has some funpoking at the bloated pomposity of theCatholic Church.

We meet Gralton (Barry Ward) as hereturns home after several years in exile inNew York. His dancehall and Graltonhimself have fallen into legend, but he’d

rather work the land and look after hiselderly mum. In flashbacks we see how thiscorrugated iron out-building provoked theauthorities ten years earlier. Back then,people were drunk on independence; nowthey’re living with the hangover. In reality,what’s changed? Is it too much of a stretchto think of Gralton as a version of Loachhimself: who in films over five decades hasstuck two fingers up at the establishment,asking hard questions about the worldwhile entertaining? Politics andentertainment are never an easy mix, andJimmy’s Hall is a familiar, slightlyunsurprising coming together of the twofrom Loach and his writer Paul Laverty.‘Jimmy’s Hall’ doesn’t quite reach theheights of Loach’s strongest recent films,such as Looking for Eric or The Wind the

Shakes the Barley.—TimeOut

DYNAMIC DUO: Dave and Shelly Coley at the Westpac New Zealand Franchise AwardsPHOTO: KAP241114SPLHUBBY

Hat’s off to Hire a HubbyBusinesshonouredat nationalawardsKapiti Hire a Hubby coupleDave and Shelley Coley tookout two categories at theWestpac New ZealandFranchise Awards.

They won the sub-category award for besthome services franchiseeand the category award forfranchisee of the year inhome and lifestyle services.

Winning is a habit for thepair — Dave and Shelleyhave been the Hire a HubbyFranchisee of the Year threetimes in a row. But winningthis national award againstfierce opposition is a big stepup.

They have been operatingtheir franchise, whichcovers Paekakariki to Otaki,since 2002.

Initially it was a one manbusiness operated by Dave, aformer bank manager who

tired of the corporate life.For nine years he enjoyed

the autonomy and variety ofwork that Hire a Hubbyoffered. Then, in July 2011, itall changed. Dave had beenreading Winning Matters,the autobiography of one-time builder SeanFitzpatrick, when somethingclicked. He looked up fromthe book turned to Shelleyand said, “It’s never too lateto find out how good youcould be”.

They looked at theircombined skills andstrengths — Shelley was amedia company managerwith strong marketingexpertise — and jointlydecided that they couldbecome the maintenancecompany of choice for Kapiti.

While Dave continued to

work directly for clientswith tools in hand, he tookon staff to allow himself tospend more of his time tomanaging the company.

Shelley took on themarketing role and, workingtogether, they built theiroperation into a significantregional maintenancecompany that employs threefull-time, experiencedtradespeople. Last yearShelley quit her job and isnow full-time at thebusiness.

“We’re delighted andhumbled to win this awardand extremely proud of ourteam,” Shelley said.

“Our people are talentedand committed. They believein this business.

“We’re also proud to bepart of Kapiti.”

Smart schoolgets big tick

SUN SMART: Kapiti School is providing a sun smart environment. PHOTO: KAP241114SPLSUNSMART

Kapiti School has been selectedto appear in the Cancer SocietyWellington Division’s annualappeal letter.

The school was chosenbecause they are an examplethe Cancer Society supports tobecome accredited through itsSunSmart Schools programme.

“Schools are uniquelyplaced to provide a sun safeenvironment, educate studentsabout sun protection behaviourand reduce the risk of skincancer by becomingSunSmart,” says MandySavage, the Cancer Society’shealth promoter for Kapiti andPorirua.

“It hasn’t been easy forKapiti School.

“They needed hats which wehave sponsored but they stillneed more shade.

“I believe that if you needhelp with something youshould let others in yourcommunity know.

“I encourage any businesses

or organisations that cansupport us by providing eitherbuilt shade or trees for KapitiSchool to contact the CancerSociety.”

Member of the girls’ seniorleadership team and youngauthor Isabella Montilla,recently had her poempublished on the CancerSociety’s website.

Other activities the teamhave been involved in includelessons about protecting skin,producing a play to raisestudent awareness andconducting a shade audit oftheir school grounds.

Being a SunSmart schoolshows that your school:■ is committed to protectingstudents, staff and parentsfrom the risks of UV radiation■ is raising awareness aboutthe importance of skinprotection among parents andstudents■ promotes the school withinthe community as one that is

committed to the health of itsstudents■ has a sun protection policythat follows the Cancer Societyminimum criteria■ promotes and supportspositive sun protectionbehaviours such as hat wearing

■ is developing andmaintaining a sunsafeenvironment.

Skin cancers are the mostcommon form of cancers inNew Zealand. The mortalityrate from skin cancer is amongthe highest in the world.

Sunburn, particularly inchildhood and adolescenceincreases the risk ofmelanoma. Limitingultraviolet radiation (UVR)exposure during school yearscould reduce the incidence ofskin cancers in later life.

Memorialisationby Andrew Malcolm

Society has used Memorials in varying ways to honourlife since time began.

With about 80% cremation in this region, many peoplesimply plan to scatter the ashes after cremation, butin the end most need a place to go, a special place toremember, and usually end up putting up a permanentmemorial of some sort.

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

This idea caught on so quickly that within only a fewmonths the garden plaques were full and a new gardenwas needed. All the cemeteries in the district now havegardens with plaques for people to either place theashes or simply have a special place to come to.

For more information about memorials please contacta Funeral Home listed who can refer you to a companythat can help.


CULTURE EXCHANGE: South American exchange student YulianaCabrera performing a flamenco dance at Otaki College, during avisit that began with “huge cultural shock”.

PHOTO: KAP191114SPLYULIANACABRERA

NZ culturea shock forvisiting pupilExchange student YulianaCabrera, 17, from Uruguay,South America, spent 10 monthsat Otaki College engaged in NewZealand schooling culture andfamily life. Yuliana, whose firstlanguage is Spanish, shares herthoughts on her time at OtakiCollege.

Coming here to study was ahuge cultural shock.

My school at home is quite alot bigger than Otaki Collegeand we have over a thousandstudents in the same building.

I had so much fun at OtakiCollege and the people here aregreat.

There were a few activities Ijoined, including sports I don’thave the chance to do back athome. I went on some trips forOutdoor Education, which Ifound quite challenging but in

the end loved.Part of the cultural shock was

learning about myself andbecoming a more outdoorsyperson because as you couldguess, coming to New Zealandmeant I learnt a lot about thefarm living style, due to my hostfamily.

I can’t deny it was a hard timeat the beginning wheneverything and everyone wasnew, but it was just a matter oftime and I was settling, makingfriends and getting confidencein myself.

I’d recommend everyonedoing an exchange because youget to see life from a differentpoint of view, and open yourmind.

I had such a good time here,even if it’s a small school.

I ended up feeling and beingpart of a huge whanau.”

Racial tensionshigh in brutalUS legal thrillerBOOK REVIEWForty Acresby Dwayne AlexanderSmith Faber and Faber,$24.99

This mystery/thriller is the firstnovel by Dwayne Smith and onethat could easily be imaginedtransformed into a big screen epic.

Not surprising, perhaps, giventhat Mr Smith is alreadyestablished as a screenwriter.

The novel’s title has its originsin the reconstruction politicsfollowing the Civil War andabolishment of slavery in theUnited States. A clause was addedto the US Constitution promisingeach former slave family 40 acresof land and a mule. Whitelandowners objected and whenAbraham Lincoln died, the clausewas hastily removed — an actionthat still evokes bitterness amongmany African Americans.

Though the title might hintthat the novel will be about mid-19th century race relations inAmerica, the story is very much amodern day thriller, set againstthe still sadly divisive issues ofrace and gender.

The story begins with youngambitious black lawyer (MartinGrey) successfully winning a casein court in which he represented aclient claiming acts of racialdiscrimination against hiscorporate employer. Grey cleverlyand comprehensively defeatsopposing attorney Damon Darrell,

a rich and renowned figure in thelegal profession.

From this develops anunexpected friendship betweenthe two lawyers which results inMartin being invited on whatappears to be an exclusiveweekend retreat with Damon andhis well-heeled friends. It’s run bya charismatic black man namedDr Kasim. Forty Acres ( althoughit is much larger than that).

Although the book is 522 pagesthe story that unfolds is fast-pacedand easy to read, taking place overonly three days. The events thatearn the book its description of“thriller” are set against abackground of oftenuncomfortable (to the modernliberal mindset) notions aboutracial divisions anddiscrimination. These include thelegacy of the African slave trade,and the whole idea of evil and thedifficulty of distinguishing moralright from wrong.

Author Dwayne Smith hasvery skilfully written a novel thataddresses these matters without, Ithink, risking a knee-jerkreaction, even offence, that a lesssympathetic and more clumsilywritten novel might do.

The plot has some very violentmoments, including a brutal andhorrifying initiation ceremony.

Forty Acres is an ideal book fora reader looking for a rivetingstory backed up by thought-provoking content aboutcontemporary issues that affectsocieties that are racially divided— not just America.

The Black Sticks men werevictorious against Japan’snational hockey team in the four-match series held in Wellingtonand Kapiti last week.

The fourth match held onSaturday night at the CoastlandsKapiti Sports Turf ended in a 3-3tie. The Black Sticks won thesecond and third matches, with anil-all tie in the first match.

Hundreds of locals turned upat the Kapiti Sports Turf for thegames on Friday and Saturday towatch the district’s first everinternational test matches.

“The hockey was hugelyexciting and lots of people werethere to get in behind our BlackSticks winning the series forNew Zealand,” Mayor RossChurch says.

“We’ve now proved we canhost sport of this calibre in thedistrict and hope many moreinternational matches willfollow. The Kapiti Sports Turf isa fantastic venue and the amountof work put into the hockey byvolunteers, as well as staff fromthe Turf and Council, resulted ingreat success.”

Richard Palmer, Hockey NewZealand events manager, saysthe Black Sticks players thoughtthe sports turf at Kapiti wasfantastic.

“They really enjoyed it.“The whole venue is very well

set out and there was a greatcrew of people who made it allhappen.

“I see no reason, given thesuccess of the two matches inKapiti, that we wouldn’t comeback to play here again if it waspossible.”

Earlier, players visitedCoastlands and Kapiti Pak ‘n

Save for autograph signing,Youth Quest to talk to at riskyoung people and the KapitiSports Turf to play hockey withprimary school pupils.

“The atmosphere at the Turfwas fantastic,” Kapiti SportsTurf manager Sonja Williamssaid.

“The kids were thrilled tomeet the Black Sticks in theflesh, play some hockey with

them and get their signatures.And the guys were so good withthe kids, talking to them andinspiring them to keep playinghockey.”

Both teams with their coachesand managers also attended apowhiri at WhakarongataiMarae in Waikanae whichincluded kapa haka fromWaikanae and Kapanui PrimarySchool pupils.
