It was unaware of any prior compliants from Ms Grace but was willing to investigate if she formally detailed her concerns. ‘‘Our understanding is that written records have been kept of meetings with Ms Grace.’’ Grace, 76, was made a Companion of the Queen’s Service Order for community service and has received a Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement and has been appointed a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

‘Shabby’ treatmentA group of prominent authors has added itssupport to a campaign against theGovernment taking land from renownedwriter Patricia Grace.

Witi Ihimaera, Dame Fiona Kidman,Dame Anne Salmond, Sir James McNeishand Dr Paul Moon have signed an openletter to the Government condemning it fortaking Grace’s Waikanae land under thePublic Works Act in order to build theMacKays to Peka Peka Expressway.

The letter, which was initiated by Manamagazine, says Grace’s land is a specialcase that deserves to be exempt from theplan.

‘‘Patricia’s land is Maori freehold landbut more than that, it is land of historicalsignificance. Patricia has inherited thisland from her tipuna, her great, greatgrandfather Wi Parata Te Kakakura.

‘‘This Government has either done noresearch into the significance of Wi Parataand this land, or has simply ignored thefacts.’’

The campaigners said in a statement theletter was being released to coincide withWaitangi Day ‘‘to remind the Governmentand New Zealanders this is no way to treat

a national cultural figure in the 21stcentury’’.

‘‘It also raises the wider issue of theGovernment failing to learn from historyand repeating the same mistakes of thepast, mistakes that are acknowledged inthe many Treaty settlements and apologiesfrom the Crown.’’

The statement said Grace had beentreated in a ‘‘shabby way’’ by theGovernment as it ignored a history whereher family gave large areas of surroundingland for the settlement of Waikanae.

Transport Agency state highwaymanager Rod James said the agencyconsidered and consulted on severaldifferent alignments when it selected routeoptions for the expressway.

‘‘The alignment selected (which affectsMs Grace’s property) avoids the urupa anda considerable amount of wahi tapu landfurther north.

‘‘It is always difficult to make thesechoices because avoiding one sensitiveproperty may have an impact on another.

‘‘There is seldom a perfect balance, butwe are committed to working in an openand fair way with everyone who our

project affects.‘‘While our efforts to meet Ms Grace

earlier in the process were unsuccessful,we have since given close consideration toher concerns and continue to do so.

‘‘We are continuing to talk to Ms Graceand we hope to make constructive progresstoward a positive resolution.

‘‘It would be inappropriate to furtherdiscuss details of negotiations with MsGrace until the Maori Land Court processis complete.’’

Mr James said the agency had enjoyedamicable discussions with Ms Grace.

It was unaware of any prior compliantsfrom Ms Grace but was willing toinvestigate if she formally detailed herconcerns.

‘‘Our understanding is that writtenrecords have been kept of meetings withMs Grace.’’

Grace, 76, was made a Companion of theQueen’s Service Order for communityservice and has received a PrimeMinister’s Award for LiteraryAchievement and has been appointed aDistinguished Companion of the NewZealand Order of Merit.

FINALLY: A disability ramp in the Coastland’s AquaticCentre is now in place. PHOTO: DAVID HAXTON

The new ramp for disabilityaccess to the main pool ofCoastlands Aquatic Centrewas blessed on Fridaymorning and is now beingused by pool customers.

The 15.4m long ramp,with a stainless steel frameand fibreglass sides, wasprovided by council afterdisability advocatesrequested ramp access to themain pool. A ramp had beenincluded in the originalplans but when councilopted for a moveable floor tomake the pool multi-functional, it was advised aramp was not compatiblewith the floor design. Twohoists, one self-operating,plus low-rise stairs wereprovided.

After further lobbying, asolution was found tomanufacture a custom-built,removable ramp. Thestructure has been made insections so it can be removedand stacked when not in use.

The new ramp wasblessed during a brief dawnceremony this morning,attended by Mayor RossChurch, councillors Gavin

Welsh and David Scott,council chief executive PatDougherty and staff, anddisability advocates.

The special blessing wasconducted by councilkaumatua Don Te Maipi.

Mr Church said theaquatic centre was a facilitythe district should be very

proud of.‘‘This is a facility that

was built by the community,for the community.

‘‘The ramp is anenhancement which bettermeets the needs of thedisability community andmakes the complex evenmore versatile.’’

Is council discriminating against poor?Former Kapiti deputy mayorAnn Chapman should put hermoney where her mouth is andlaunch a campaign to get Otaki’spublic water supply fluoridated,Councillor K Gurunathan says.

He said in her opinion piece inthe Otaki Mail she extolled thevirtues of fluoridation.

‘‘Calling it the greatest healthachievement of the 20th century,she described it as a criticalpublic health initiativeespecially in areas of lowsocioeconomic deprivation.

‘‘While Mrs Chapman has

supported the fluoridation of thewater supply in Raumati,Paraparaumu and Waikanae,she has not championed a case toget Otaki’s water supplyfluoridated.

‘‘Otaki’s deprivation index,which registers at nine, is thehighest in the district and Otakiis listed among the worst 20communities in the country,’’ CrGurunathan says.

He said local socio-economicresearch indicated 26 per cent ofOtaki residents are below thepoverty line.

‘‘The Otaki public shouldexpect Mrs Chapman to make asuitable submission to theAnnual Plan’s consultation onfluoridation.’’

He said the situation may alsoprove difficult for the currentward councillors of Otaki andPaekakariki.

‘‘How can they vote forcontinued fluoridation ofRaumati, Paraparaumu andWaikanae without vigorouslychampioning fluoridation oftheir Otaki and Paekakarikisupplies.

‘‘The challenge would beparticularly vexing for Cr JanetHalbrow as her ward is split withRaumati South supplyfluoridated but Paekakariki’sunfluoridated.’’

Council’s water supplyservice was a district wideservice, he said.

‘‘If fluoridation is as good asMrs Chapman and the Ministryof Health claim it is then, it canbe argued that council isdiscriminating especiallyagainst the well being of the poorof Otaki and Paekakariki. Poor

dental health among children issymptomatic of child poverty.

‘‘It’s well known that, acrossNew Zealand, areas that do nothave fluoridated water tend toresist attempts at fluoridation oftheir water supplies.

‘‘This is because of thecampaigns run by the anti-fluoride activists.

‘‘These activists expectserious opposition in Otaki andPaekakariki.’’

Kapiti News sought a responsefrom Mrs Chapman but didn’thear back before going to press.

Kapiti Historic Society needs youUnless volunteers can be foundto head up the Kapiti HistoricSociety, it will be forced to goclose.

‘‘Considering that Kapiti isthe most historic part of NewZealand after the Bay ofIslands, this will be a setback tothe coast,’’ says the retiringpresident, Tony Froude.

‘‘Te Rauparaha, one of thegreatest of the Maori chiefschose Kapiti Island as his baseto conquer most of NewZealand. The purchase from

him of the lower half of thecountry by the New ZealandCompany took place onParaparaumu Beach.

‘‘Kapiti was a main base forthe early missionaries, sealersand whalers.

‘‘Two of the country’s mosthistoric churches are sited atOtaki — the replica Rangiateawhich was built originally byTe Rauparaha in 1851, andPukekaraka Catholic churchbuilt in 1859.

‘‘Kapiti has always been the

northern gateway toWellington with its historicWellington and ManawatuRailway built to replace theCobb and Co coaches whichtravelled along the beach, andwas the capital’s domesticairport for DC3 and domesticaircraft before Rongotai wasbuilt.’’

Mr Foude said there wereabout ‘‘40 heritage historicsites’’ in the area, marked byinformation plaques and signs.

‘‘Our society was

instrumental in their recentrenovation and replacement,’’he says.

‘‘This history is a valuableasset to the tourist future ofKapiti, and the Kapiti HistoricSociety has done a great job inkeeping it alive.’’

Domestic health demandsmade it impossible for him tocontinue in the post, Mr Froudesaid. Treasurer Dick Steerewas resigning with healthproblems, and secretary JackieElliot was busy in her new role

as a councillor.Vice-president Bill Lambert

was willing to continueproducing the newsletter, butat age 83 was unwilling to takeon the responsibilities ofpresident.

‘‘Unless volunteers arewilling to come forward wehave no option but to go intorecess,’’ Mr Froude said.

The facility will be dividedinto three small homes.

Each home will becompletely self-contained so

the residents experience asmall, cosy home with a calm,supportive atmosphere.Residents will also beencouraged to take part in therunning of their home if theywish, as continuing with theiraccustomed roles has beenfound to assist people inmaintaining a sense of purposeand value.

‘‘This will be a unique placefor people to come, a placewhere there is some freedom,space to maintain fitness, seethe stars and the trees, interactwith animals and create a senseof home,’’ Alison Hume said.

Homely kitchenettes will bepart of the open plan lounge-

dining areas, just as in a typicalNew Zealand family home.They will include all thefacilities one would enjoy athome, provided in a safe way:hot water to make a cup of tea,and a sink for the normalactivities of washing up anddrying the dishes. There will bean oven, and plenty of benchspace for cooking activities.’’

The design will maximiseindoor-outdoor flow, withresidents free to wander safelythrough the park-likesurroundings without feelingconfined.

‘‘There will be farm animals,fruit trees and a vegetablegarden which residents will be

encouraged to help tend,’’Alison said.’’

‘‘As in all our facilities, theemphasis will be on taking partin the normal activities ofeveryday life.

‘‘The grandkids will enjoyvisiting, with plenty of space tokick a football about and achildren’s playground wherenana or granddad can watchthem play.’’

A sheltered picnic spot,accessed by a wheelchair-accessible pathway, willprovide a safe destination forafternoon tea, or a walk with avisiting family dog.

‘‘We believe that the natureof the environment will be

soothing, peaceful andenjoyable for residents andtheir visitors,’’ said Alison.

‘‘We have found that oursmall homes, quality of careand genuine empathy supportseach resident to participate inlife more fully.

‘‘We plan to cater for peoplerequiring most levels of care atLindale, giving people thecontinuity of remaining in theplace they call home withpeople who know them well andknow just how to care for them.

‘‘It brings a measure ofcomfort to residents and theirfamilies knowing that they willnot have to move as their careneeds change.’’

Buying a Home Subject toSelling Yours?

In a market with fewer properties for saleit seems the safe approach, removingthe fear of selling the family home andhaving nowhere to live. In real terms it’snot that simple and comes with somerisks and responsibilities.1. The seller of the property you want

to buy is relying on your intention tosell your own property and meet thedeadline you have all agreed on.

EXPRESS LANE

MacKays to Peka PekaWellington Northern Corridor

Ride on digger winner - GeorgeSmith, 3 years of Raumati Beach.

Work coming up in FebruaryConstruction of the Kapiti Expressway is now underway and we are pleased to introducethis regular construction update. Our goal is to cause the least possible disruption to thecommunity, but there will be times when we can’t avoid having an impact on local roads,journey times and the lives of local residents. We will do our best to let you know aboutthese times clearly and well in advance. Here’s what’s happening in February.

Southern Zone - MacKays Crossing to Kapiti Road

Starting Monday 17 February temporary STOP/GO trafficmanagement will be in place on Raumati Road for one weekas we work to find and map existing services like watermains and telecoms.

Earthworks have started in the area of Poplar and LeinsterAvenues, we are removing and stockpiling peat and replacingit with gravel to form the Expressway’s foundation. For thenext three months you’ll see more trucks on State Highway 1and Poplar Avenue. To keep traffic disruption to a minimum,trucks will only turn left into and out of Poplar Avenue fromState Highway 1.

The Leinster Avenue/State Highway 1 intersection wasclosed on 4 February. Cars exiting Leinster Avenue willnow need to use Poplar Avenue to access State Highway 1.Pedestrian access from Leinster to State Highway 1 has bemaintained and will be in place throughout construction.

Central Zone - Kapiti Road to Te Moana Road

We are continuing to remove pine trees between Mazengarband Otaihanga Roads.

Otaihanga intersection is operating as one-lane roundabout,with the final two–lane roundabout due to be finished andopened before Easter. We are experiencing some delays aspeople get used to the new layout, so please allow extra timeduring peak hours and drive with care.

TheWaikanae River walkway has been diverted and an 80 tonnepiling rig has startedwork on a test pile for the newWaikanaeBridge. Diversions are clearlymarked and the construction areahas been fenced off for public safety. Horse riders please beaware that loudmachines areworking in this area.

Northern Zone - Te Moana Road to Peka Peka

In late February we’ll start earthworks in the Northern Zone,including the removal of sand north of Te Moana Road.We will also be using some of the empty buildings onTe Moana Road to establish a site compound.

Site fencing and earthworks will continue at the Peka Pekaend of the Expressway near Smithfield and Greenhill Roads.We’ll be removing peat, stockpiling it and then replacing itwith sand to form the Expressway’s foundation. The worksitewill have its own “haul roads”, so trucks won’t be on the mainhighway and no traffic disruptions are expected.

A SEAT IN THE SHADE: Te Oraiti Calcott, Doris Martin and Te Awaawa during theWaitangi celebrations at Raukawa Marae. PHOTO: KAP070214ARSHADE

It was an honour to officiate at WaitangiDay last week. Raukawa Marae is aspecial place, and the day was dignified,enjoyable and fun.

Also last week we held the blessing ofthe ramp in the Coastlands AquaticCentre. The 4.45am event meant an earlystart so that the blessing coincided withsun-up. The ramp is a furtherenhancement to what is already a verywell-used facility. Over 105,000 visits tothe pool show just how popular it is.

Annual Plan workshops start shortly.The Annual Plan sets council’s proposedbudgets for the next financial year ( July1,2014 to June 30, 2015). It also sets out theservices we provide and the activities weundertake, to ensure Kapiti remains agreat place to live. From the workshopswe develop a draft Annual Plan for publicconsultation. I urge you to comment onthe content of the draft.

The Sustainable Home and GardenShow is coming up on the weekend ofMarch 22-23. It‘s the premier

sustainability-oriented annual event inthe lower North Island. Held at KapitiPrimary School, it’s a must-see event.Book it in your diary now.

On Friday afternoon I had theprivilege of a guided tour of the Waikanaeestuary with local identity Michael (Mik)Peryer. ‘Tis a wonderful place we live,and ‘tis a wonderful man who shares hisknowledge of the estuary. Vicki and hermum and I spent a fantastic couple ofhours learning so much from a manwhose passion for our wildlife knows nobounds. Thanks Mik.

If you haven’t done a tour of theestuary with Mik, you have missed one ofour great treasures. I highly recommendit.

DEMOCRACY A MESSY BUSINESSCongratulations to all thosewho took up their pens towrite letters to the localpapers or used publicspeaking time to defend theirdemocratic rights — the rightof access to their electedrepresentatives. The attempt,by some councillors, torestrict public speaking timesto only items on the agendawas an unnecessary agitation.But the robust reaction of thepeople against this threat, andthe hasty retreat by council, isa useful reminder to the newcouncil that people value theirdemocratic right of access.Sure, the business of runningcouncil like a well-oiledmachine is important. But thequest for efficiency cannotoverride the value of what thatmachine is set up to serve.

Democracy is by its verynature a messy business. No

matter how much some of ourcouncillors may detest thepolitical showmanship ofpeople like Dale Evans, hedoes add colour to ourprovincial politics. I sayprovincial simply becauseKapiti is still a provincialarea. Yes, the traffic alongKapiti Road is clogging up, theairport seems to be slowlygrowing legs, and theexpressway is starting to tearthrough the belly of thedistrict. A cocktail of promisesthat point to a populationgrowth and a city-statuscraved for many years bysome in the businesscommunity.

In the meantime, we live in

this twilight of growth painswhere a provincial David iswarping into a half-grownGoliath. And let’s not forgetthat, just around the corner,are giants wanting to use theregional reorganisationprocess to swallow up the rate-paying capacity of this half-grown Goliath. It is a fact that,as political entities get bigger,the political andadministrative processes alsoget bigger and morecomplicated. And the need forefficiency becomes a mantrathat results in the alienation ofthe people it is meant to serve.Democracy expressed as thehuman spirit of freedom isconsumed by the veryprocesses meant to serve thatspirit.

If the recent debate aboutthe place of standing orders isnot to dissipate into a ‘‘much

ado about nothing’’ then weneed to create freshdemocratic spaces for citizensto interact with their electedrepresentatives. There was atime, during Brett Ambler’smayoral years, when councilmeetings were held in theevenings. It better engaged theworking man and women. Itmight be prudent to maintainthe status quo whileexperimenting. Like holdingopen forums in the evenings.These could help councilconnect with this workingelement including theestimated 4000 locals whocommute out of the district towork. This can be a clearinghouse feeding issues into theformal council businessprocesses. It’s a use it or lose itoption that could take thepressure off the councilmeetings.

Broadband vital in 21st centuryFROMMY DIARY* Monday: I attended aboot camp seminar inTaupo with Maori agri-business leaders.* Parliament is sitting thisweek* Friday: I’m attending theSouthland Fieldays andthen watching theHurricanes play theCrusaders at Levin Domain.* This Saturday, I hope toattend theWaitarereBeach Fire Brigade 50thcelebrations.

Last week, I meet Chorus staffwho are flat out installing ultra-fast broadband (UFB)throughout Kapiti andHorowhenua.

The $1.5 billion projectacross the country willtransform New Zealand into aglobal leader. Nowhere else inthe world is the fibretechnology being delivered sofar and wide.

In Kapiti and Levin, Choruswill have built fibre to about 18per cent of their total build bythe end of June.

They have also upgraded alot of cabinets which were a bigfocus before the rollout.

The first priority is local

schools and some have beganenjoying the benefits of thistechnology. Video conferencingand interactive learning aresome of the ways it can be usedto enhance the way studentsare taught.

It will also be a major boostfor regional economies,allowing businesses tocommunicate and sendinformation easily to theircustomers no matter wherethey are in the world.

Fast and reliableaccess to the internetis not a luxury — it isa necessity in the 21stcentury.

Together with ournew roads, rail and air links, itwill mean Kapiti andHorowhenua will be betterconnected than ever. I believethis will encourage more peopleand businesses to move here,enjoying the lifestyle benefits ofour region while still beingconnected to the globaleconomy.

HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAININGMynewdog is an 11-month-old pure breed blueheeler. As a puppy, Ava is learning the rules ofbeing a good family dog, like not jumping up atpeople (work in progress) and not chewingmydaughter’s toys (work in progress).Blue healers, or Australian cattle dogs as they

are also known, were bred to be farming dogs.They are intelligent, which canmake themeasy totrain. They also have amassive amount of energy.I began taking Ava for five to six kilometre runs

and generally off the lead, shewould always comeback tomywhistle. I have built her up to 8.5kmruns, which she handles easily.We have drinkstops and she returns tired but not exhausted. Ibegan to think am I ever going to tire this dog out,or should I enter her in amarathon?Recently, I’ve been taking Ava to the beach to

tire her out by playing sticks (I throw the stick asfar as possible and the dog retrieves it).Within 10minutes, she is panting (like a dog) andwantingsome time to catch her breath.Why is this?Like humans, dogs can be trained towork

aerobically and sustain one pace for long periodswithout needing a rest. But when trained usingintervals, or bouts of high intensity training like

sprinting, or in Ava’s case running for a stick, westress the anaerobic system.Using this system is tiring and requires rest to

be able tomaintain the same type of intensity werequire towork at that level.When using shortbouts of high intensity exercise youwork harder ina shorter time span, which in turn improves yourcardiovascular conditioning.People alwayswhich form of ‘cardio’ is best for

fitness and fat loss.My answer is HIIT (highintensity interval training).My young dog is easy to train at HIIT. For

humans, it’s the same concept but you have toease into it a littlemore. So if you usually walk, trya 20sec bout of running in between yourwalking.If you swimdo one length fast, have a 20sec restand then another length fast. See an exerciseprofessional formore advice onHIIT.

ANNOYED: KCT Streetwear Kapiti manager BayliDe’Fari holding t-shirts identical to those stolenearly Sunday morning.

CLOEWILLETTS

Police were alerted to a break-in at KenaKena’s KCT Streetwear outlet over theweekend, after the store’s window wassmashed and up to 10 items of designerstreetwear stolen.

Occurring on Sunday around 1am,surveillance footage shows the offenderusing a brick to smash through the glass,believed to have been taken from nextdoor’s Kenakena School.

Following a first failed attempt atkicking in the window, the young malemade off with a range of t-shirts andsweatshirts, which he retrieved byreaching in through the window’sdamaged bars.

Along with leaving the store in a messof broken glass, the boy, described asbetween 14-18 years, left a trail of security

tags strewn through the school, whichshop manager Bayli De’Faria said shehoped police would examine.

‘‘Our security footage captured apretty clear image of the guy,’’ she said.

‘‘He is of slim build and was wearing ablack puffer jacket and black skinnyjeans, with red Vans skate shoes and ablack bag with a white Volcom logo.

‘‘He was also possibly wearing a darkcap and didn’t have gloves or anything tocover his face.’’

Although Miss De’Faria was stillawaiting a visit from local police onMonday morning, she said she wasconfident the community would workwith her to help find the offender.

‘‘We are really disappointed.’’‘‘We try hard to have an awesome

shop out here that brings cool gear to thecoast and saves people having to travel in

to Wellington or elsewhere.‘‘It affects everyone, especially the

kids in the area who walk past everydayand stop and chat.

‘‘My son is seven and is finding itreally hard to understand why someonewould be so destructive.’’

After a first break-in mid last year,which saw the offender caught andconvicted thanks to camera surveillance,KCT Streetwear Kapiti Coast is lookingat putting further preventative measuresin place to avoid future thefts.

‘‘We ask that people please keep aneye out and contact police if they know orsee anything.

‘‘It’s such a nice neighbourhood andthis kind of thing ruins it for everyone.

‘‘Is it really worth going to jail orhaving a conviction just for a fewt-shirts?’’

Anna and Tobias have just had their firstbaby - and within moments of her birth,they’re told that Freya is profoundlymentally and physically disabled. She willneed full time care all of her life and thatlife won’t be a long one. Tobias wantsthe baby put into foster care - he can’tconceive of a lifetime spent looking aftera child that may not even understandwho he is. Anna is torn - the feel of Freya,

the look of her, the bond she is surethey share - but she understands that ifshe chooses Freya, she may well loseeverything else in her life - her career,her husband and her dreams of livingin France. This is a wonderful story oflove and hope and human frailty, basedon the author’s own experience of beingthe mother of a disabled child. Highlyrecommended.

On Sarah Grimke’s 11th birthday, sheis given a young slave called Hetty, allwrapped up in lavender ribbons. Hettyis to be her personal maid but Sarah, oneof ten children, is ferociously intelligentand refuses to buy into the Southern wayof life, where slaves are considered asub-human but necessary means for thewealthy to enjoy a pampered existence.

Hetty, whose mother named her Handful,is also fiercely intelligent. Her remarkablemother will not accept that her girl willalways be a possession of white folksand fuels a burning desire in Handful tobecome a free woman. This is a story oftwo remarkable young women whose livesare irrevocably entwined from the time onewas given as a gift to another. Great novel.

If you like your detective novels gritty andviolent, Stuart MacBride’s the man for you. Hisanti-hero, former DI Ash Henderson, has beenreleased from prison where he was serving atough two years. Prison is no place for a formercopper. The fact that he was set up by a crimeboss doesn’t make a jot of difference. He isreleased on probation to assist with finding aserial killer and Henderson agrees to help, butonly so he can exact his revenge on the crim

who put him in prison. MacBride’s Scotland isbleak, the weather is bitter and cold, the foodis deep fried be it breakfast, lunch or dinner,and the crims are sadistic sociopaths withpower drills and hammers in every pocket.Henderson stumbles to a conclusion but giventhe number of bodies strewn along the way,you probably wouldn’t call it a happy ending.If you’re looking for a tough, uncompromising,detective novel, this is the one for you.

This is a fine, debut novel from Anna Hope.Set in London, in 1920, three women aredealing with the aftermath of the Great War intheir own way. Hettie dances for sixpence atthe Hammersmith Palais to help support hermother and her shell shocked war veteranbrother. She hates the grinding poverty, sheresents the ex-soldiers begging on the street,‘reminding you of something you just want toforget’ - all she wants is music, colour andromance. Although Evelyn is independently

wealthy, she chooses to work in the PensionsOffice. Her family is desperate for her tomove on and forget her dead lover but Evelynrefuses to believe she can ever find joy inlife again. And Ada is slowly destroying herrelationship with her husband as she refusesto give up hope that her son will returnfrom the battlefields of France. All of thesewomen are connected and their stories area fascinating insight into life after the war toend all wars. Highly recommended.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

[email protected],

Farcical processOn a rare visit to our communityNathan Guy talked about howexcited he was that ‘jobs arestarting to roll out’ when hereferred to the Kapiti Expressway.Under Labour, the Western LinkRoad would have been built bynow and local jobs would havebeen created during the worst ofthe recession, not as we nudgeincrementally towards recovery.Now we would be enjoying a saferjourney, the higher numbers ofvisitors that less congestion wouldhave made possible and our busi-nesses would be benefitting fromthe planning that took place adecade ago.

That said, Labour will re-evaluate our position on the fourlane expressway. We know weneed better transportation and weneed it now. It was Labour whodelivered the budgets to upgradethe rail service with doubletracking and electrification to Wai-kanae. It was Labour that put inplace the budget for building theroad.

In contrast, it was National thatstopped the whole project andsubjected our community to afarcical process that ignored thewill of a community and all theprevailing evidence. It will beLabour that has to mitigate thedamage this concrete monstrositywill have on our community.

When the expressway is built,the jobs will be gone. On PlanetKey, where there are no toilets, itseems there will also be no offramps that can facilitate a reststop, a shopping experience or avisit to the beach. This isn’t a localroad that will ‘connect Waikanaeand Paraparaumu’, as Mr Guysuggests, it’s an expressway —even the name makes that obvious.

The learners/programmes poolwas never a viable alternative tothe main public pool for the elderlyand those with disability. KCDCdocumentation shows that untillate 2012, council didn’t ever envis-age adults or those with disabilityas ‘‘user groups’’ of this smallchildren’s pool.

The ramp designed, built andapproved by a number of reputablecompanies, provides ‘Best Prac-tice’ accessibility into our mainpool. Council records evidence thatuntil late 2012, the ramp wasrepeatedly promised to enablethose members of the public withdisability to use the main pool withthe same ease as able-bodiedpeople. This promise was re-confirmed mid-2013, in a HumanRights Commission mediationbetween KCDC and REACT (RampEqual Access Coalition Team).Council representatives notedtheir previous mistaken belief thata ramp wasn’t possible.

Given it certainly was possible,KCDC then agreed the ramp wouldbe usable whenever this pool was

publically open. The ramp’s cost isnot an additional ‘ratepayer bur-den’. It was built into the originalcostings as an essential part of thepool and a ‘Key Disability Pro-vision’. The ramp is unequivocallyless expensive than the roof,hydroslide from Turkey and mov-able floor, the benefits of which gorelatively unquestioned. Yet inter-national research has consistentlyproven the necessity of rampaccess with significantly morepeople (virtually everyone) usingthis means, as opposed to steps oran assisted chair hoist.

REACT is a small hubsupported by many region-wideorganisations and individuals whounderstand the rights of peoplewith disability to exercise theirindependence to the fullest extentpossible in Kapiti’s main recrea-tion and community facility.Equality of access and usability isa legal protection for all of us, notjust the currently disabled.

Picture pleasureWhat a pleasure to see your fullpage spread of Roger Smith’swildlife photographs of some of ourrarest native waterbirds from the

Waikanae estuary. Roger sounds awarning about encroaching on thiswetland but is upbeat about thefuture.

I wish we could share hisenthusiasm. The estuary is undersiege from development which hasgentrified many of its wetlandareas. This has benefited intro-duced species (mallard andCanadian geese) and enricheddevelopers, at the expense of ournative birds — the criticallyendangered parera (grey duck) andthe nationally threatened dab-chick, amongst them. These birdsmigrate around the district insearch of food and as wetland areashave been landscaped and deep-ened into ponds it has excluded thewading birds and left the rareducks open to predator attack,more especially by our domesticpets.

And now we have a raisedembanked expressway beingconstructed right through themigratory flight paths of thesebirds.

I belong to a Kapiti film-makingcollective that has been monitor-ing a very rare dune lake atRaumati Beach over the past threeyears. This year it has hostedseven broods of ducks includingtwo nests of parera, along with oneshoveller, three pied stilt and twopukeko broods. Two welcomeswallow nests have fledged fromnear here and in previous yearsgrey teal, black swan and paradiseduck have raised young. The lakeacts as a food basket for most of ourlocal native waterbirds. Threespoonbills have been seen feedinghere since early December, whiletwo white faced heron have virtu-ally taken up residence sinceNovember. Three different speciesof shag have also been fishing here,including the rare black and piedshags. There has been an explosionin the frog population this year,

which may account for this fec-undity.

Our endemic diving duck, theNZ scaup is now a regular visitorthough the sensation of this seasonhas been a male dabchick, whichfed at the lake from late Septemberthrough October. This may be thedabchick in Roger’s charmingphotograph. From our observationit seems it is the male that carriesthe chick while the female sets offto ‘bring home the bacon’. No-oneknows for sure how these birds getaround for they seem to travel atnight — but now, with scaup, theyhave migrated into the centre ofour town. Estimates of thesurviving population of dabchicksvary from between 1200 to 2000birds.

All this is taking place aboutfive minutes walk fromCoastlands, but when this evi-dence was put before the Board ofInquiry into the expressway lastyear, it was completely ignored.The entire wetland will be des-troyed by the expressway and thiswildlife along with it. We aredocumenting this and yourreaders can follow the developingenvironmental debacle on our blogsite —www.midnightcollective.blogspot-.co.nz

Official Maori flag gets most votes

PREFERENCE: For this flagindicated by 134 visitors atWaitangi Day celebrations inOtaki. PHOTO: KAP100214SPLFLAG

A group of Treaty educators heldan information stall at theWaitangi Day event at RaukawaMarae, Otaki. They provided anopportunity for members of thepublic to vote for their preferredflag by dropping a marble into thejar of a favourite design — andthere was a jar for those who didn’tchoose any of them.

There was a total of 134 marblesin the jars. The results were 10.4per cent wanting to keep theexisting flag; 8.2 per cent for theSilver Fern; 12.7 per cent liking thegreen koru design offered by theartist Hundertwasser, but 57.5 percent chose the TinoRangatiratanga flag currentlyrecognised as an official Maoriflag. Another 11.2 per cent wanted

something different withsuggestions including suchconcepts as the seven stars ofMatariki with the silver fern.

Spokeswoman for the group,Sylvia Bagnall, said many peoplehad never had their own copy ofthe Treaty of Waitangi/Tiriti oWaitangi ‘‘or maybe even read itthrough, and we gave away a lot ofcopies.

‘‘Some did not even know that ithad been preceded by a MaoriDeclaration of Independence. Wehad a quiz for adults and one forchildren to test knowledge of theTreaty. Some were very wellinformed but several weresurprised to learn 18 people signedthe Treaty when missionaryHenry Williams brought it to

Otaki, and these included twowomen of rank.

‘‘When people do learn aboutthe Treaty they understand howfortunate we are in Aotearoa NewZealand to have a nation foundedon trust, the recognition ofindigenous sovereignty and ofrights for all people,’’ Ms Bagnallsaid.

Last spinsfor SPCA’sold workhorseANNREADING

Waikanae SPCA centre’s volunteers arehope they will not have to come to workin wetsuits and flippers when they are onlaundry duty.

Their current washing machine,which has served them well, is becomingincreasingly problematic.

‘‘It has a mind of its own,’’ saidvolunteer Annette Buckley. ‘‘It’s prone toleaking, becomes unbalanced and sendsvolunteers into a spin and we’ve had afew close calls with floods. We need toreplace it.’’

As a result, a team of SPCA volunteersplans to be regulars at ParaparaumuBeach Market to raise funds to purchaseitems on a ‘wish list’ for the centre inWaikanae. They all agreed ‘top of the list’is the purchase of a new commercialwashing machine.

‘‘The old one has been a real workhorse but it’s time for it to go. Theamount of laundry per day can bestaggering — heavy duty with blanketsand towels for the animals and it’s on thego seven days a week.’’

Ms Buckley says the first fundraiserfor equipment is at the market onSaturday.

■ If anyone can help us fix the SPCA laundryblues please phone volunteer fundraiserAnnette Buckley on 298 6156 / 027 2302024or phone Kapiti SPCA directly on 293 4292.

Students from the school last travelled

overseas to Sydney over ten years ago

to take part in the McDonald Challenge,

which was very successful, but the Studio

owner, Judith Fuge, sees this tour to Los

Angeles as being of greater benefit to

the dance students, as the whole tour

is focused on dance and growing skills

by exposure to different teachers and

studios. JFDS students from age 9

have regularly attended workshops in

New Zealand, but the global connections

resulting from attending very large

studios, and the skills derived from this

experience, will be invaluable tools for

the dancers to develop their passion for

dance. The Disneyland performance too,

will be the result of many rehearsal hours

and costuming challenges, so will be an

integral achievement objective for the

students.

DAVIDHAXTON

Anthony Nicholson had abusy time at the recentRotary Science Technologyforum in Auckland.

The 17-year-oldParaparaumu Collegestudent said the first fewdays were a matter ofsettling in and meetingeveryone.

And then it was asmorgasbord of variousscience-based learning atlearning institutes eachday.

‘‘It could be somethinglike biomedicalengineering, food scienceor sport science — you’d dotwo of those each day.’’

A visit to Rex Bionicswas eye opening.

‘‘I got to see a personwho was paralysed fromthe legs down walk. Theyput him in a mechanicalsuit so he could walkaround. That was quitecool.’’

Another highlight wasgoing to a place called TheFOODBOWL which allowsstart up companies to rentvarious machinery.

‘‘They showed us howvarious things worked such as extremepressurising.’’

The forum also allowed opportunitiesto explore Auckland.and includedAnthony doing a reverse bungy.

‘‘When I scream I say jiminy cricket asopposed to any swear words — I don’tknow where I picked that up.’’

Meeting various people was a key

highlight, he says.‘‘I made a lot of good friends because

everyone was in the same boat.’’Anthony thoroughly enjoyed the

forum.‘‘I heard one of the people say ‘it was all

I had hoped for but nothing I hadexpected’.

‘‘I thought that summed it up well.’’

Brooke Lawry had anamazing experience at therecent Hands-On Scienceevent at Otago University.

‘‘After the five days wasup I didn’t want to leave,’’the 15-year-oldParaparaumu Collegestudent said.

‘‘It was so much fun. Andit wasn’t like a geek campwhich I had expected. It wasjust a lot of people withmutual interests and we alllove science.’’

She said morningsfeatured projects viaassigned groups; Brookewas in the chemistry group.

In the afternoonsparticipants would dothings they had selected intheir application forms.

And the eveningscomprised fun activitiessuch as Amazing Race, quiz,public lecture, visit to LoganPark and more.

Brooke’s afternoonscentred around anatomy,marine science and physicaleducation. She went to theAnatomy Museum on theuniversity campus.

‘‘We saw all the cadavers,sculptures — the detail and everythingwas really amazing.

For marine science she went on a aresearch shipping vessel and looked atplankton under a microscope.

‘‘It was really cool.‘‘We also did a bit of surveying and

some geology as well.’’In physical education she analysed

movement via computers.

‘‘We studied long jump so we hadcameras at different angles.

‘‘We had to see how long their strideswere, how close they were to the linebefore they took off, and how muchpressure they put onto the pad.

‘‘We tried to get the perfect result.’’Overall Brooke said the event was ‘‘so

much fun.‘‘I just want to do it again.’’

FAMILYADVENTURE

Local Residents

Takahe chick

Kapiti Island Takahe FamilyAdventure CompetitionThe Takahe is a very rare bird found only in NZ, it is classed as endangered, because there are onlyabout 260 of them left. The Department of Conservation runs a Takahe Recovery Programme toboost the population with the help of their business partner Mitre 10.

Takahe used to live throughout the North and south Islands, but the arrival of Europeans broughtthreats that devastated the species and by the early 1900s people thought they were extinct. Exceptfor one man, Dr Geoffrey Orbell, who believed there were still Takahe in the valleys of the MurchisonMountains in Fiordland. He spent his weekends and holidays tramping through the valleys with hisfriends in search of the Takahe. It took many trips and lots of walking around, but one day he foundthem! Dr Geoffrey Orbell rediscovered the Takahe on the 20th of November 1948.

The valley where Dr Orbell rediscovered the Takahe was named ‘Takahe Valley’ and the lake nearbywas named ‘Lake Orbell.’

Isolation saved the Takahe but even in the remote mountains they became threatened, as Europeanmammals encroached on their habitat. Introduced deer ate the Takahe’s favourite tussock grassesand stoats ate the Takahe themselves.

Mitre 10’s contribution has made it possible for DOC to grow the national Takahe population andestablish additional populations on predator free islands like Kapiti.

However, the numbers are still low and one of the reasons for this is that the female Takahe needsto be at least two years old before she will have chicks. They raise only one brood per year with anaverage of two eggs.

Takahe build a nest on the ground amongst vegetation where they can hide a nest. Two eggs areusually laid, between mid October and mid December and the parents take turns at incubating theeggs, which take around 30 days to hatch. When Takahe find a partner to have chicks with, they willusually mate for life.

Takahe chicks have black fluffy down (baby feathers) and a white beak, they get their red beak andbeautiful green and blue feathers when they get bigger.

What’s On...What’s On...Popular Polynesians

TOURING GROUP: Concert pianist LudwigTreviranus, Derek Hill, Susan Boland,Bonaventure-Allan-Moetuau and KalauniPouvalu are coming to Kapiti.

PHOTO: KAP070214SPLOPERA

The Polynesian operatic voice featuresin a concert at Southward Theatre byOperatunity, says media manager RoseClark.The Operatunity daytime concerts

present three tenors and a soprano inthe latest national tour for March andApril. The concert features the NewZealand Three Tenors singing populararias and songs made famous by thelikes of Mario Lanza, Pavarotti andRichard Tauber.The artists involved in the concert

tour are soprano Susan Boland, tenorsBonaventure Allan-Moetaua, Derek Hilland Kalauni Pouvalu and concert pianistLudwig Treviranus.Of the performers, three are of

Polynesian descent. Concert pianistDoctor Ludwig Treviranus, who is partSamoan, recently returned from completing hisdoctorate in the US. Tenors Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua is of Cook Island descent and KalauniPouvalu is of Tongan descent.It is a well knownMaori and Pacific Islanders

can sing and are intrinsically musical. This hasbecomemore evident in recent times with theemergence of talented Polynesian operasingers.The tenor has always been considered the

rarest and most romantic of voices, conjuringup music of sultry passion and wonderfulmelodies.New Zealand can boast several up-and-

coming Pacific Island tenors, all of whom couldmake their way on to the international stageduring the next during few years.

Why are Polynesians so well represented asoperatic tenors? It is hard to know. Definitelyone has to be able to sing, but more than that,the men come from a heritage of music,harmony and communal singing in their widercommunity, or in churches. We should also paytribute to the many secondary school teacherswho are more aware of the great talent hiding intheir midst.Perhaps more important than anything is the

Polynesian way of performing with warmth,generosity, openness and with a great sense ofhumour which immediately engages theiraudiences.This is without pretension and allows the

audience to become open to the music and sofully enjoy the wonder of their glorious voices.

For further Eco Funeral advice contact us for a brochureon Environmentally Friendly Farewellsor visit www.ecofuneral.co.nz and www.ecoprep.co.nz

Can Funerals be Eco friendly?Funeral rituals and practices were Eco friendly since timebegan, but modern society has changed some of thesepractices. More and more people are now becoming at leasta little bit eco focused and so too are many of the funeraloptions being made available.

The first of 3 quick examples are Natural Burials. Wehave a Natural Burial section now on the Kapiti coast at theOtaki Cemetery. This is a special area where graves are dugshallow and filled with organic soil to return the deceased tothe elements. A tree is planted on the grave and no lastingmemorial is allowed. Eventually the area will return to nativebush. The casket must be a natural product (not man-made)such as pine.

The second example ties in with this, that of naturalcaskets. There are many pine and other natural productcaskets now supplied to your funeral director, and most ofthese can be purchased at a similar price to non naturalcaskets such as MDF board.

The third Eco friendly area is that of preparing thedeceased. Embalming, often seen as using a large amountof chemical, is now a modern process and uses very lowpercentages of chemical, in fact totally organic embalmingis available and so too are other similar processes such as aprocess called Ecoprep.

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

KIA ORA FROM KAPITI ISLAND

WALK THIS WAY: Rangatira boardwalk. Inset: Boneseed is a threatto coastal vegetation. PHOTOS: KAP050214SPLBOARD, KAP070214SPLPLANT

Kia Ora from Kapiti Islandprovides regular DOC news fromthe coast’s iconic landmark KapitiIsland

* Biosecurity- Kapiti Island remains free of

mammalian pests, largely due tothe efforts of those who visit theisland and diligently check bags,shoes, clothes and equipment forpest plants and animals.Transport and tour operatorsKapiti Tours, Kapiti MarineCharter and Kapiti Island NatureTours, do a great job in ensuringvisitors are well informed of theappropriate biosecurityprocedures. Public, volunteers,local businesses, iwi and DOCstaff who visit the island all play acrucial part in preventing thearrival of unwanted pests andprotecting Kapiti Island’s nativeplants and animals.

- A dead penguin chick wasfound by a kiwi detector dog onthe lowland track in late 2013.Jade, with owner RoganColbourne in tow, discovered theskull of a penguin chick withunusual looking damage.Predated chicks are a normal partof island life with plenty of wekaaround, but the penguin chickwas sent away for DNA analysisjust to make sure. Stoat or otherpest damage was ruled out and a

weka was suspected after all —phew!

This scare highlighted theimportance of always checkingour bags for insects, rodents,plant seed, plant fragments andmud to help protect our preciousnative species. Visit the DOCwebsite for more information onisland biosecurity, or to let usknow your good ideas forpromoting island biosecurity inour community.

- The 2013 weed season onKapiti was completed by DOCstaff and volunteers with asuccessful survey of recentlydiscovered weed sites, and a fewrecurring sites. A notable findwas some boneseed growing nearTe Mingi Hut which wasremoved.

Boneseed is a bushy shrub thatgrows 2-3 m high, with yellowdaisy-like flowers. It is a threat tocoastal vegetation, where it canrapidly replace native plants, or,create heavy shade in otherwiseopen spaces. It’s exactly the kindof thing that can be unwittinglytransported on socks, boots or aback pack. Many thanks to JonTerry and the volunteers on theweed survey for all their hardwork.* Lightning strike

On Labour Day 2013 a fire wasreported by a local couple who

were flying over Kapiti Island andsaw smoke coming from a patch ofbush south of Taepiro Stream.

A Rural Fire Authority crewwere winched in to assess the fire,and monsoon buckets were flownto the site to douse the area. Thefire crew determined the fire wascaused by lightning strike from astorm event several days earlier.It was thought that a dead ratastump above the canopy tops wasstruck by lightning and quietlysmouldered until it was reported.

The early report of smoke bythe local pilot, and quick responseby the Rural Fire Authority andDOC staff meant the area affectedwas remarkably small.* Kapiti Island for Kids

Kapiti Marine Charter, KapitiTours, and Kapiti Island NatureTours all offer transport and arange of tours on Kapiti Island.Visit the DOC website for moreinformation.

Kapiti Island Nature Tours arerunning a conservation andnature-based educationprogramme, Kapiti Island forKids.

Spendingreview maylower raterise to 4.81%

‘A considerableeffort has gone into

reviewing allexpenditure andmaking some hard

decisions.’MAYORROSSCHURCH

Councillors have heard theaverage rates increase for2014/15 could be reduced to 4.81per cent compared to 6.8 percent identified in the LongTerm Plan last year.

The matter was discussed atthe first workshop in a seriesplanned to consider councilspending priorities as part ofthe Proposed Annual Plan forthe 2014/15 financial year.

The workshops, which areopen to the public, will rununtil early March.

Workshop chairman MayorRoss Church says 2014/15 is ayear of consolidation forcouncil.

‘‘With significant projectssuch as the Coastlands AquaticCentre and upgraded civicbuilding completed and, thewater supply project, watermeters and the expresswaywell under way, this is a year totake stock and tighten thepurse strings.’’

He was pleased with thesteps council had taken toreach an indicative averagerates increase of 4.81 per centbut said the final figure woulddepend on whether councillors,through the workshop process,agree with the proposedchanges.

‘‘When we began the annualplanning process late last yearwe had some large costs toaddress.

‘‘The Mainzeal collapsepushed out the budget on theCoastlands Aquatic Centre,and some spending we haddeferred had to be met.

‘‘A considerable effort hasgone into reviewing allexpenditure and making somehard decisions.

‘‘Underpinning ourdiscussions over the comingweeks will be a determinationto further contain costs andmake every dollar count for thebenefit of Kapiti.’’

Reductions of $5.9 millionwere achieved throughreductions in capital works anda further $3.2m gained throughreducing operationalexpenditure.

Some savings have beenmade through proposedreductions in strategic landpurchases and parks and

reserve spending.A proposed youth centre

may be deferred while a secondhydroslide for the CoastlandsAquatic Centre may also be puton hold.

There is also a proposal todelay the refit of the oldRaumati pool building and toreduce projected spending oneconomic development.

Inflation makes up 1.53 percent of the projected 4.81 percent average rate increase.

WorkshopsSeven workshops will be held

to discuss aspects of the DraftAnnual plan. Residents are wel-come to attend the sessions, heldin council chambers in the civicBuilding. Details are on the coun-cil websitewww.kapiticoast.govt.nz/draft-annual-plan.

Following the workshops, thedraft plan will be presented tocouncil for formal considerationon March 20. Once adopted, it willbe open for public consultationand submissions from March 26 toApril 28.

‘‘We want to make sure wehear what ratepayers have tosay,’’ Mr Church said.

‘‘I encourage people to look atthe Draft Annual Plan and submiton any issues they feel stronglyabout.

‘‘Community input will deter-mine the projects that will beundertaken and the final ratesfigure.’’

■ The Draft Annual Plan andsubmission form will be publishedon council’s websitewww.kapiticoast.govt.nz from March26.Printed copies will also be availableat council service centres andlibraries.

Council targetsinvasive bambooThe council has started aprogramme to remove bambooplants from reserve land inRaumati South.

The bamboo, which frontson to a small public grass areaopposite the shops and cafes onPoplar Avenue, is encroachingon to neighbouring properties.

‘‘This species of bamboo is avery invasive plant and, in thiscase, has become establishedover a large area,’’ councilleisure and open space assetmanager Lex Bartlett said.

‘‘It may take over a year forthe bamboo to be fullyeradicated.

‘‘All the visible plants are

being taken out but it’simpossible to tell where allroots are embedded in the soiluntil they start growing newshoots.

‘‘We’ll have to regularlytreat shoots as they emerge.’’

Council talked to residentson the neighbouring propertiesand Raumati South Residents’Association beforeundertaking the work.

It will continue to consultthe association to look atoptions on how to bestredevelop and plant the reserveland once the bamboo iseradicated.

Distance success a happy place

RUNNING OBSESSED: Ultra marathon winner Jo Johansen enduresa daily running ritual that sees her go through a new pair of shoesevery six weeks. PHOTO: CLOE WILLETTS / KAP070214JO

CLOEWILLETTS

Local running sensation JoJohansen took out the title offirst woman and third overallwinner at the Hutt River TrailEvents’ 60K ultra marathonlast month, after a trainingbuild-up that included up to 200kilometres of running eachweek.

Taking five hours twominutes to complete thedemanding 60km ultramarathon, Johansen endedJanuary 18 on a high afterstopping just once during therace to change her shoes.

Enduring an early morningcold southerly, she wasthankful for warmer weatheras she completed the event justbefore midday.

She had traversed a coursethat included a railwayincline, four old tunnels andriver edge.

‘‘It went very smoothly. Ihad no problems and at the endI still had more in me,’’ says the

sports enthusiast, who grew upinvolved in athletics and cross-country.

Following a strict vegan dietand running for up to fourhours a morning and sevenhours on her days off,Johansen’s training for theultra marathon included runsfrom Paraparaumu toJohnsonville and back.

She says while her extensiverunning regime is hard on thebody, it has gradually becomeeasier over time thanks topersistence and discipline.

‘‘I’ve always been intorunning but only started longdistance about a year ago withthe Kapiti Running and TriClub, who I run with quiteoften,’’ she says.

‘‘I’ve now entered Rotorua’s100k Vibram TaraweraUltramarathon in March,which I’m pretty excited aboutas people travel from overseasto participate.’’

Having worked at StirlingSports in Coastlands for

around three years, the runnersays she enjoys everythingassociated with her sport,including selling shoes.

‘‘It’s my ideal job really, andthe perfect job for someone whogoes through a pair of runningshoes every six weeks.’’

Currently settled in Kapitiafter growing up in the HuttValley and travelling aroundthe country, Johansen says sheenjoys the close-knit runningcommunity in Kapiti.

‘‘I entered the ultramarathon to test myself and seehow well I handled a fardistance and it was pretty easy,so I’m looking forward to thenext challenge,’’ she says.

‘‘Running is my happy place,it keeps me calm and I just lovedoing it.

‘‘I call myself a passionaterunner, although myworkmates may say I’m a littleobsessed.’’

Dave grinds outmemorable time

ON THE RUN: Dave Chandlerduring Challenge Wanaka.

PHOTO: KAP050214SPLDAVE

DAVIDHAXTON

Dave Chandler will alwaysremember his ChallengeWanaka 2014 official finishingtime. It was 12h 12m 12s.

The event is a long distancetriathlon comprising a 3.8kmswim, 180km cycle and a 42.2kmmarathon.

Chandler, 48, fromParaparaumu Beach, said theswim in Lake Wanaka was ‘‘verycold’’.

‘‘All I was really doing wasswimming behind someone.

‘‘At one stage the guy I wasfollowing went a bit wide so Iswitched over to someone else’sfeet.

‘‘You’ve just got to getthrough the swim.’’

His swim time was 1h 10m 19s.In transition he rummaged

through his cycle kit bag andcouldn’t find his cycling socks[he had accidently put them inhis running kit bag].

‘‘I rode without socks.‘‘It took about an hour and a

half for my feet to warm up.’’He said the cycle leg was a

matter of ‘‘keeping going andmaking sure you’ve got your fuelin’’.

Fortunately the windyconditions before the eventturned into still and coolconditions on race day.

No one was allowed to draftduring the cycle leg and ridershad to keep a 10m clearance.

Chandler said the bike coursewas ‘‘honest’’ — quick in partsbut slow and hilly in others.

His cycle time was 6h 21m 25s.The marathon, which was mostlyoff-road, comprised two laps.

Chandler got sore knees onthe second lap which meant hehad to ‘‘grind it out’’.

His marathon time was 4h29m 53s.

He was happy with his officialtime of 12h 12m 12s.

‘‘It was a minute over what Idid in Taupo the year before butthe course was essentially a lotharder.

‘‘I was also happy just to get itdone as all the training hadbecome sort of all-encompassing.

‘‘It was more a sense of reliefthat it was done.’’

Overall he enjoyed the event.‘‘It was a smaller, friendlier

type of event,’’ he says.‘‘The volunteers were

awesome.‘‘It was just a good

atmosphere. The appeal of theevent was simple.

‘‘It’s whether you can do it ornot — it’s just testing yourself.’’

Chandler wished to thank allthe swimmers, cyclists andrunners he had trained withleading up to the event.

‘‘We’ve got a lot of talented,strong women and men comingthrough the ranks, and thetournament is a great place forthem to showcase how good theyare.

‘‘The surge in popularity ofkickboxing [often referred to asmuay thai] is due to the fantastic

talent that New Zealand has, hesays.

‘‘We are one of the topcountries in the world and thisreputation is attracting asignificant new audience to ourevents.

‘‘Muay Thai fighting is anintense sport, with no running orhiding in the ring — the fighter

who lands more effective shotswins.
