‘THE PAPER WITH THE MOST FOR THE COAST’
Driver allegedly five times over limit
driving of one year and
one day.
Police allegedly found
the man hiding under a
gorse bush in a paddock
after the crash.
The Siberia Hill crash
was one of nine Police
attended over the course
of one week period.
Police say all were
caused by driver error.
In some, speed and alcohol were also factors.
“Again we remind people to drive to the road
conditions - when it’s
wet slow down,” says
Beachlands constable
Police say a driver,
who allegedly ran off
from the scene of a recent crash on Siberia
Hill, on the WhitfordMaraetai Road, was
found to have been more
than five times over the
legal alcohol limit.
The Beachlands man
in his 40s faces charges of careless driving
and driving with excess
blood alcohol levels.
He will appear in court
next month and could
face up to a maximum of
two years in prison and
disqualification from
Adrian Fisher. “We will
be monitoring the roads
more closely and we will
have zero tolerance for
poor driving behaviour.”
On the way to setting
up a checkpoint at the
Beachlands roundabout
last Friday night Police
clocked a driver doing
161 kph on Sandstone
Rd.
The mid-evening
checkpoint netted two
drivers twice over the
legal alcohol limit and
a number close to the
limit.
Of 50 drivers tested,
constable Fisher says
close to half had some
alcohol in their system.
“We’re very disappointed that people still
choose to drive on our
roads under the influence of alcohol,” he
says.
“They put themselves
and others in danger.”

“A number of local members of the public have

“We have had really good feedback from the community.”
Police are still awaiting the results of forensic testing on the sweatshirt the offender dumped in Puriri

Other rural roads in need of upgrade too
THE EDITOR SAYS
BY DUNCAN PARDON
[email protected]
The rapid growth of Beachlands and Maraetai has resulted in much discussion about the state of the Whitford
Maraetai Rd.
To be fair, there has always been concern about the
road – the main route to Beachlands, other than by ferry.
Readers who have lived here a while will recall that a
few years ago the Accident Compensation Corporation
was so concerned at the accident statistics for this road
that it ran a safety campaign aimed at improving driver
behaviour.
And, believe it or not, a lot has been done to improve
the road. For example since the mid 1980s we have seen
the addition of a passing lane on the hill up to the landfill, re-engineering of Turanga Hill up from the Whitford
Pony Club, the addition of an earth bund to collect vehicles spinning off the corner at the other end of the pony
club, resurfacing of the Omana bend, construction of the
Beachlands roundabout and some improvements to the
bottom of Siberia Hill (which still leave a lot to be desired).
But there has been a lot less talk, and a lot less action,
when it comes to the other arterial rural roads that link

the Pohutukawa Coast and Clevedon District to each
other and to the rest of the world.
For example, North Rd – between Umupuia and Clevedon – is awful. It is too narrow, has heaps of blind bends
and the road surface is just dreadful. Twice I’ve come
close to being killed on North Rd. On one occasion many
years ago a tree fell on our car and we had to be cut
out by a local farmer! On another occasion I found myself head on with a car coming the other way which had
swerved to pass an unseen cyclist on a blind bend.
I’m struggling to think of any major work that has
been done on North Rd in the same time period as work
carried out on Whitford Maraetai Rd – apart from frequent resealing alongside the Balemi property.
Instead, it’s just been one patch-up job after another. Earlier this week, on my way back from Clevedon,
I chose a section of road at random – from the Duder
Regional Park entrance to Umupuia – and counted no
fewer than 19 resealed sections or patches. I’m sure it
wouldn’t have been much different if I’d chosen any
other stretch of the road, or indeed any other main rural
road in the district.
Those of you in four wheel drives may not notice the
road surfacing, but when you are driving a Daihatsu
Sirion you feel every bone-jarring bump!
Another big worry is the deteriorating state of the Maraetai Coast Rd. In places it is starting to slump badly. Of particular concern is the recent big jump in the

number of trucks using this route. On the same trip back
from Clevedon I passed three on that stretch of road.
There’s no legal reason for trucks not to use that stretch
of road, but I would hope trucking companies would
have the sense to avoid it as much as possible. Meeting a
truck coming the other way on a tight bend with a cyclist
also on the road doesn’t bear thinking about.
I hope one day – in the far distant future – a new inland
route will be built connecting the Coast with Clevedon.
Then Maraetai Coast Rd could become a cycling and
walking route.
The planned expansion of Brookby quarry and the
landfill planned for Twilight Road, the expansion of
Clevedon and Whitford Villages and even growth
planned for far-flung Kawakawa Bay means there will
be a huge increase in traffic using all our arterial rural
roads, and especially truck and heavy traffic, while all
this development is taking place.
These roads are struggling to cope now, especially
when cyclists and boat trailers are thrown into the mix.
The various District Plan provisions for the expansion of Whitford, Beachlands, Maraetai, Clevedon and
Kawakawa Bay deal with each of those communities in
turn but there needs to be some serious planning carried
out, with a long term funded works programme, aimed
at future-proofing the rural roads that connect them all
together.

***
We marched in the Auckland TPPA protest on
Saturday. However we find that the majority of our
friends are unaware of the far reaching effects this
agreement will have on our society.
For instance TPPA is not a trade agreement about
financial tariffs. Its aim is to eliminate regulations
such as those protecting labour standards, food safety
rules (including restrictions on GMO’s and food
additives), environmental regulations and the use of
toxic chemicals etc.
The US corporations also want to inflict virtually an identical secret agreement on Europe – the
TTIP. However a European MP has seen the secret documents and says “I’ve seen the secrets of
TTIP and it’s built for corporations not citizens.”
Most people are only aware that Pharmac drugs will
be affected but many other products, services and
standards will be affected too.

Coastguard
helps man
overboard
Saturday August 8
saw Coastguard Maraetai answer a Mayday call from a yacht
in a two-handed yacht
race in the Rangitoto
Channel after a crew
member had fallen
overboard.
Coastguard Maraetai
and Howick recovered the crew member, who had been in
13˚C water for about
25 minutes without a
lifejacket.
He was transported
to the Maritime Rescue Centre where
ambulance staff were
waiting.
Later that morning
Coastguard received
a second Mayday
call – this time from a
nine-metre catamaran
which had capsized
near Tarahiki Island.
In this case the crew
from the catamaran
were well equipped
and all wearing wetsuits, helmets and lifejackets, which made
it much easier to help
them, and it wasn’t
long before they were
operational and heading back to Bayswater.
In the meantime,
Coastguard
Maraetai attended a five
metre Fyran with engine troubles, about
two miles out of
Kawakawa Bay. With
no radio on board the
Fyran and a cell phone
only, Coastguard Maraetai managed to contact them eventually.
It turned out the vessel was much further
out into the Firth than
they first thought, but
they were unable to
give their exact coordinates.
The crew on board
the Fyran emailed a
photo of where they
were looking back
at Orere Point and
after thirty minutes
of searching, based
on the photograph,
Coastguard Maraetai
found them and started
the long tow back to
Kawakawa Bay boat
ramp through swell
and wind.
No VHF and no ability to provide latitude
and longitude made it
much harder to find
the Fyran.
Hunua MP hears from Coast’s senior citizens
Hunua MP Andrew
Bayly took a leaf out
of the Winston Peters
playbook this week by
holding a public meeting for local senior citizens.
About 40 seniors attended the mid afternoon meeting at the
Beachlands
Baptist
Church. Andrew talked
to them about his role
as an MP and what he
hoped to achieve (he
said he would like 15
years in the job) , before
taking questions from
the floor.
The big concern for
those in the audience
was immigration. Long
time local real estate
agent Geoff Bignell
opened with a statement
in which he said New
Zealand was selling its
assets to overseas investors. New Zealanders
wanting to buy a home
were being outbid by
Chinese buyers taking
advantage of 1% loans
from China. “Young
kids have no chance of
getting on the property
ladder,” he said.
He received applause
from the audience. Others were critical of the
sale of large farms to
overseas buyers . One
comment was that the
National Government
would be remembered
for “selling to China
and changing the flag.”
Andrew Bayly responded by pointing
to new legislation that
would make it much
harder for overseas investors to buy residential property as they
would require a New

meeting held at the Beachlands Baptist Church.
Zealand bank account
and an IRD number.
This would also provide
the Government with
accurate information on
who exactly was buying
property. He described
it as “one of the smartest pieces of legislation
passed by this Government.”
As far as the sale of
farm land to overseas
interest, Andrew said
New Zealand was actually one of the hardest countries to invest
in land. Any overseas
land purchase over
half a hectare had to go
through a rigorous approval process by an
independent Government appointed panel.
There were also questions about the controversial Trans Pacific
trade deal (TPPA) with
concerns over secrecy
surrounding the agreement, the potential
impact on the cost of
medicines, and intellectual property provisions which would give
corporations the ability
to sue the Government.
Andrew Bayly acknowledged there were
areas of concern that
New Zealand was still
trying to negotiate its
way through, but that
overall the benefits
would outweigh the
negatives.
He said the countries
involved in the trade
deal represented 42%
of the world’s economy.
“If we miss being part
of this arrangement we
will be fearfully disadvantaged,” he said.
Andrew went on to
outline the provisions
of new health and safety legislation aimed at
bringing about a “culture change” in the New
Zealand workplace with
managers and workers
having equal responsibilities to keep workplaces safe.
And he dealt with
a question over the
lack of apprenticeship
schemes by suggesting
that training for trades
was now in a different
format with a lot more
vocational training now
being done in secondary schools.

POHUTUKAWA COAST TIMES (August 21st 2015) 7
POHUTUKAWA PETS
Coast dog trainer prefers positive training techniques
Pohutukawa Coast dog trainer Fiona Bailey has an
affinity with her four legged clients that goes back
to an idyllic childhood in England.
“We had lots of pets when I was growing up in
Kent - I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs
and I’ve never known a time when we didn’t have
pets,” says Fiona.
When she and husband Tony and their three children
emigrated to New Zealand and settled in Beachlands
in 2001, it was natural for Fiona’s beloved lab-collie
X Temu to come too. After all, he was part of the
family.
It was just two years later, months before the birth
of their fourth child, that Tony arrived home with another dog in need of a new home - a Sharpei-Mastiff
X called Bruno.
It was Bruno’s “difficult” personality that led Fiona
to seek help from a professional dog trainer in the
city and set her on the path towards her own new
vocation as a dog trainer.
In 2009 Fiona graduated from Unitech with qualifications in canine behaviour and animal training.
After working for the same trainer who helped her
with Bruno, Fiona spotted a real need in her local
Pohutukawa Coast community and began Help My
Dog, specialising in running a variety of classes for
puppies and adult dogs of all breeds and backgrounds
as well as one-on-one personalised training sessions.
It’s work Fiona finds rewarding, especially when
she later meets her happy former four-legged clients
out and about in the community with their equally
happy owners.
“I find being able to turn a dog around and help them
with their behaviour really rewarding,” says Fiona.
“People can get embroiled with what’s happening
with their dog and it often just needs to be broken
down into little steps.”
While Fiona says not every problem is fixable, steps
can be put in place to manage certain behaviours.
“Dogs have an intense desire to simply be with
us.There’s a science to how animals learn - they aren’t
that complicated,” she explains.
Fiona says it is often more about working with the
own than their canines.
Positive reinforcement is at the heart of all Fiona’s
canine training techniques.
“I love seeing someone having a really close bond
with their dog and ‘getting’ their dog,” she says.“So
many people buy a dog because they like the look
of the breed but they don’t always understand what
that breed needs. “They get the wrong dog for their
lifestyle then wonder why they have a few issues.”
Fiona is happy to offer advice about selecting a dog
that is a good match.
The right dog can bring a lot of happiness into
people’s lives and dogs are great for children, adding
an extra dimension to family life.
Today Fiona, Tony and their family share their
Beachlands home with farm collie Piper, lab pointer
X Chester, kunekune Rodney Trotter and moggie
Bobcat.
Help My Dog helps owners get off on the right foot
(or should that be paw?) with their new pet, running
classes for puppies from about 12 weeks of age.
“Puppies need to understand what basic commands
mean so they can learn them,” says Fiona.
“People talk about socialisation - it’s important to
get puppies out and about in the community with you
at an early age, seeing and hearing and experiencing
as many different things as possible, like rubbish
trucks, going in the car and meeting different dogs
of all shapes and sizes.”
Adult classes include and build on basic commands.....these group sessions try to incorporate the
concepts of real-life application and build positive
relationships between dog and owner.
She believes it’s vital that owners learn to read a
dog’s body language.
Fiona says classes are effective, fun and achievable.
She likes owners to be able to apply what’s learnt
in a class environment to positive problem solving
in real-life situations. Then there are agility and
tracking classes on offer as well as one on one training sessions.
Fiona also offers a dog walking service, currently
walking about 15 dogs on a weekly basis, with a local
pickup and drop off service.
Fiona is always upskilling to add to her wealth of
practical training knowledge and tips to pass on to
clients.
Last year she enjoyed the challenge of helping train
Ramble a Wellington labradoodle to play the part of
cute mongrel Sandy in the stage show Annie.
“It was fantastic and I look forward to training another stage star in the future if we get the
opportunity,”says Fiona.
Meanwhile dog lovers on the Coast can look forward to a canine massage workshop organised by
Fiona in conjunction with Auckland Canine Massage
on Sunday 30 August.
Then there’s a Furmazing Race in November Fiona
is organising with Denise of Bracks Dog Grooming,
when small teams of owners and dogs will compete in
a race around Beachlands taking part in fun activities
and challenges to raise funds for charity.

her own pooches, Piper and Chester.

POHUTUKAWA COAST TIMES (August 21st 2015) 9
POHUTUKAWA PETS
Animal acupuncture treatment comes to Beachlands
Franklin Vets Beachlands now offers the
benefits of acupuncture
for treating your pet.
Local veteranarian Sarah Tutt, who has been a
vet for 16 years, trained
in animal acupuncture
at Massey University
last year and is now offering the service at the
Beachlands clinic.
“It’s always been something I have wanted to do
as another way of helping our clients,” explains
Sarah. “It’s very similar
to human acupuncture
and it’s been used successfully on animals too
for a number of years.”
Sarah says acupuncture
has proved beneficial on
horses, cats, dogs and
rabbits .
So what is it?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine acupuncture needles into specific
points on the body. The
exact points are a mixture of predetermined
acupuncture points and
areas of soreness over
muscles or bony points
determined by examination of the pet. How it
works:
Acupuncture works in
many ways. Firstly at the
area of needle insertion
where they stimulate
the local nerves to release the bodies own
anti – inflammatory and
pain relieving hormones.
It also increases blood
circulation and relieves
muscle spasms in this
area.
Secondly there is relaxation of muscles at a
distant location to where
the needle is inserted.
Thirdly there is a general whole body effect
by releasing serotonins
and neurotransmitters
which relax the pet and
give an overall feeling of
well being.
Sarah’s first feline acupuncture patient relaxed
so completely it went
to sleep during the first
session.
What can it treat?
Acupuncture can
be used to treat many
things but musculoskel-
etal problems (including
back pain, arthritis, disc
disease, muscle pain)
being the main one.
It can also be used in
certain skin issues, gastrointestinal problems,
urinary and wound healing. Some of these are
having an impact on
function rather than pain.
Sarah says while acupuncture is usually a
treatment used in conjunction with other
medications it can also
be used alone where
traditional medications
are not an option due to
other illnesses or reactions.
“If you have an elderly
cat with bad arthritis that
also has kidney problems and cannot take
certain traditional medications then we would
use acupuncture on its
own.”
What is involved?
An acupuncture session usually takes from
30-40 minutes. Sarah
first thoroughly examines your pet to deter-
mine where the acupuncture needles need
to be placed. The very
fine needles are then
inserted and left in place
for 10-15 minutes. The
number of needles varies
from case to case and is
usually less in the first
treatment. Most pets feel
no pain when the needles
are inserted.
Sarah recommends
weekly sessions for four
to six weeks to start with
followed by fortnightly
then three weekly appoints, spread out to
about every six weeks
at the most.
What can your pet expect from the treatment?
Hopefully an improvement in the clinical signs
we are treating for, says
Sarah.
“Some pets may be
called strong reactors
and they can be initially worse for 1-3 days
before improvement is
seen,” she explains. “In
these cases less needles
for a shorter time usually
helps.”
At the actual appointment she says the pets
will usually sit down
and relax.
“Over time they may
begin to really enjoy
their treatments and be
excited about coming for
future appointments.”
If you would like to
find out whether your
pet is a suitable candidate for acupuncture
then call Franklin Vets
in Beachlands on 5380010.
