Meet with the DJA series of Q & A’s with our local DJ’s
This week the Chronicle caught up with Matt Russel - a.k.a DJ Chimpster.
How did you come up with your DJ name?
Shhh, it’s a secret...!Check Tractor FM website if you
really want to know. Where do you currently play as a
DJ?I do a show called “The Chimps Tea
Party” On Tractor FM.How did you first get involved with
DJing?From early 1990 I used to go to raves
back in the UK and loved the energy and madness that happened there, all set to a soundtrack of crazy new music. I decided I wanted to play that type of music, so I bought some cheap turntables, got some vinyl and started to figure it out with a few mates.
Who were some of your influences when you started?
Dj’s like Andrew Weatherall, Fabio and Grooverider. Music by Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance, the Detroit techno sound and the emerging
breakbeat/jungle scene. It was a really exciting time for electronic music. Genres like drum and bass, trance and tech house weren’t even thought of yet. It was cool to see them all develop, basically from the Detroit and Chicago sound. Buying records every week was an adventure. There were constant new ideas and sounds coming out and that was influential in itself. So these were my early influences and they were all sprinkled with a healthy measure of Pink Floyd.
What kinds of music do you like playing?
I love playing techno. I also play house, funk, downbeat, alternative, oldies, electronica, a bit of hip hop and reggae. I try to keep it underground but pretty much anything goes on ‘The Chimps Tea Party’ - depends on my mood, sometimes you’ll get your ears blasted and other times you’ll be relaxing with a cuppa T.
What is the best thing about DJing?Getting a dance floor absolutely
pumping, with bodies jumping up and down and smiling like crazy people! You can actually feel the energy from the crowd and you play music to keep it going. If you get it right it’s a real buzz.
What is the worst?Clearing a dancefloor! Did that
once at a biker gang party in Cornwall. I thought I was getting the bash for that one, but got out unscathed. They didn’t like dance music. Should have known better. Lesson learnt!
What in your memory has been your best show?
Can’t pick just one. The Blowinghouse parties in Cornwall, Tractor parties, Yot Club in Raglan and The ‘Matt and Dave Full Moony’ party!
What song never fails to get you on the dance floor?
‘Star Dancer’ by The Martian When’s the next gig?Midwinter Masquerade Ball, Raglan
Town Hall, Bow St, Saturday 9 August 2014. 8:00pm – 1:00am.

The issue of seabed exploration just won’t go away.
The Raglan Greens are trying to highlight the Government’s bid to offer nearly 55,000 square kilometres along the North Island’s West Coast for oil and gas exploration, saying the seismic testing involved in the exploration could be harmful to the remaining 51 Maui’s dolphins.
The Government’s Block Offer 2014 opens up a total of 405,000 square kilometres around New Zealand: in onshore areas in East Coast Basin, Taranaki Basin and West Coast Basin; and in offshore areas in the Reinga-Northland Basin, Taranaki Basin, New Caledonia Basin, Pegasus-East Coast Basin and Great South-Canterbury Basin.
All successful Block Offer permit holders are required to carry out seismic testing and report back to Government.
Raglan Greens coordinator John Lawson said seismic testing at sea was carried out by ships, which generated seismic waves with rapidly-released pressurised air. By measuring the time it took for the sound waves to bounce off the surface below, scientists could determine what was down there.
One of the blocks on offer, Offshore Release Area 14TAR-R1, stretched down the West Coast from Auckland to the top of the South Island and bordered areas where Maui’s dolphins had been sighted, and where trawling was now banned to protect them.
“When you’re dealing with 51 dolphins – they’re probably the most endangered dolphins in the world – it doesn’t seem like a good idea to do testing in areas where they’ve been sighted,” he said.
John said sound waves, or sonic booms, were loud and travelled a long way through water and not enough research had been done to determine their effect on marine life. There did seem to be a correlation between the beaching of whales and seismic testing nearby.
The Department of Conservation website said “the potential exists for seismic survey operations at sea to have adverse impacts on marine mammals”.
DOC’s 2013 Code of Conduct for Minimising Acoustic Disturbance to Marine Mammals from Seismic Survey Operations aimed to minimise impacts of the testing, while still allowing for seismic survey operations to continue, but the code was not compulsory.
This is the third annual Block Offer by
the Government. Bids for the 2014 round, which cost $6,133.33 for each bid area, closed on September 25 and permits would be awarded in December for between 10 and 15 years, depending on the location.
There would be no public consultation about the Block Offer. Permit holders were just expected to “regularly engage” with affected iwi and hapū.
“But it doesn’t specify what it (the engagement) should be and whether they need to take any notice of it,” John said.
It all related back to the Seabed and Foreshore Act (2004), John said.
“Before that it was not clear who owned what. Now it’s clear that the Government
owns the seabed and foreshore and therefore can sell it off if it wants to,” he said.
When Energy and Resources Minister Simon Bridges launched the Block Offer he said the process for awarding permits was rigorous.
“The Government expects companies to clearly demonstrate their technical and financial capability to deliver their proposed work programme and meet our high health and safety, and environmental requirements.
“Oil is our 4th largest export, with a value of around $1.8 billion in 2012. The Government receives around 42 percent of the profits, or approximately $700 million each year.” Rachel Benn

KASM expected to fight TTR appealTrans Tasman Resources was this week expected to lodge an appeal in the High Court against the decision rejecting its application to mine ironsand off the Taranaki coast.
An Environmental Protection Authority-appointed panel refused TTR consent to take millions of tonnes of ironsand from a 66 square kilometre area off Patea due mainly to concerns about the environmental effects.
KASM spokesperson Phil McCabe said TTR could only challenge on points of law, if the EPA did not adhere to the law when making the decision.
Despite the risk of liability for costs if TTR won the appeal, KASM was “99 percent sure” it would keep fighting. “The intention is to see this through to the end,” Phil said.
The Environmental Defence Society, a group of resource management professionals which also made submissions during the hearing process, also planned to fight the appeal.
The TTR application was the first to be made under the new Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Act 2012 (EEZ Act), which came into force a year ago.
Phil said KASM this week lodged a submission opposing the second application made under the Act.
Chatham Rock Phosphate Ltd’s had applied for a 35-year permit to take phosphorite rocks from a 10,000 square kilometre area at Chatham Rise, east of Christchurch, a very sensitive underwater environment and important fishing area, he said. Rachel Benn

Calling all Raglan Filmmakers and Actors...
Local iwi, council celebrate signing of dialogue accord
Crossfit fundraiser set to be tough challenge
So you think you’re fit? But are you CrossFit? And are
you brave enough to test your mettle against one of the best?
If the answer is ‘yes’ to all these questions, then you had better find yourself a team and enter the CrossFit-Athon challenge being held in Raglan on Saturday, July 19 to raise money for 17-year-old local sports star Te Huringa (Boy) Whitiora.
Te Huringa qualified earlier this year for the World CrossFit Teens Gauntlet 2014 in California at the end of July. He is currently ranked second in the world in the boys under-18’s, while his girlfriend, Kaeley Elkington, is number one in her age group.
CrossFit involved a combination of workouts designed to build endurance, strength, flexibility and speed. There were no set disciplines – it could include weight-lifting, swimming, gymnastics, push-ups, biking… “It’s everything put together,” Te Huringa explained. “It’s like a sport of fitness.”
The fundraising CrossFit-Athon
would pit Te Huringa against other teams on a CrossFit circuit. There would be some demonstrations of the sport on the day too, said Katarina Mataira, one of the CrossFit-Athon coordinators along with Dave Currie.
Te Huringa would also be doing squats, push-ups, sit-ups and birpees – 250 of each. Teams could be sponsored on how many repetitions they could complete themselves.
Katarina hoped the community would get behind the very talented Te Huringa, who had only been doing the sport for just over a year.
“His coach noticed him in the first two days – like ‘where did he come from’? He’s one of those kids,” she said.
• Challenge will be held on Saturday 19th July, starting at 10am, in the car park in front of the Raglan Club on Bow Street. If wet, it will be held in the Raglan Town Hall.
• Teams need to be registered by 4pm Friday, July 18.
• All enquiries to Katarina at [email protected]

The Raglan Arts Film Festival returns to town in September and nominations are now open for the 2014 RAFFA awards.
With a prize pool of up to $500, the awards celebrate the achievements of local filmmakers and actors, and will be presented at the Old School Arts Centre on Saturday 20 September.
Nominations for the awards can be for movies of any length
and genre, provided they have been made by filmmakers or actors from the Raglan Whaingaroa area (west of the deviation), or filmed within the local area.
This year, awards will be presented for Best Actor/Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Director/Producer and Best Picture. Achievements in two open categories will also be recognized.

A“ b r i d g e - b u i l d i n g exercise” at Poihakena Marae this week
helped cement an initiative aimed at ensuring local iwi and Waikato District Council work together more amicably on projects – particularly those involving the use of Maori land within the community.
Tuesday’s informal gathering celebrated a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties and was a “valuable” way to share information and move forward, Mayor Allan Sanson told the Chronicle.
“It’s all about having a better understanding from both sides of the fence.”
Mayor Sanson was backed by ward councillor Clint Baddeley who for more than 12 months now has worked alongside Ahu Whenua Trust chairman Sandy Hounuku to get a good all-round community result for the new Whaanga Coast wastewater scheme.
The MOU now in place acknowledged the use of local Maori land for council systems such as the recently laid wastewater pipeline, said Cr Baddeley, and officially recognised the land’s historic significance.
While it was the agreement which allowed in this instance for pipes to be laid on both council and Maori land, Cr Baddeley confirmed this week’s meeting served as “a good bridge-building exercise for all of us”.
WDC chief executive Gavin Ion described the consultation with local iwi as positive, and the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding as a significant event. “It formalises the many discussions that have taken place over time to ensure the needs of both parties are met.
“It also allows further conversations to take place between two parties who have established a relationship based on
open, and sometimes challenging, discussions.”
Kaumatua Paddy Kaa who welcomed council staff onto the marae acknowledged the local iwi’s need for council help and understanding on lots of issues, ranging from rates and housing to employment.
Cr Baddeley said afterwards that the MOU had now opened up the dialogue on issues such as these. Edith Symes

Letters:To the Editor,In response to the ‘Candidate
Profile’ in last weeks issue. Just to note in case anyone
thinks I’m Superwomen, I won’t be attempting to continue in my current roles AND be the TKC MP at the same time.
Barbara Kuriger, National Party Candidate.
To the Editor,Ladies and gentlemen of the
local council can you please take the following into consideration when planning future suburban developments: when deciding which species of tree to line our street frontages with, please
contemplate planting the odd fruit tree, instead of solely ornamental varieties.
I often pondered when I resided in Raglan West how much I would have preferred a mandarin or plum tree as a substitute to the bottlebrush looking tree that inhabited our roadside.
Wouldn’t it be gladdening to watch local kids ‘raiding’ it on their journey home from school, thus adding to their recommended ‘5+ a day’ dietary requirements, which can be an often arduous task and sometimes an unattainable target for some lower income families given the high price demands placed on healthy food.
I realise this kind of activity going on in front of one’s abode might not be everyone’s ideal scenario but perhaps we could be given the choice as owner/occupiers. I for one would not be averse to maintaining (the trees) and covering the price difference if it did not suit the council budget, as obviously I too would reap the rewards of having fresh fruit literally on my doorstep.
I believe it would be step, if somewhat small, towards meeting social obligations we should have, if like myself, you wish be a part of a responsible, compassionate society. Just saying...
Jolene Waretini, Raglan
RAGLAN Chronicle 5
Travelling educator takes his learning skills’ to the world For an educator with a
world-wide following, Raglan’s Lance King works in surprisingly humble surroundings. But then when you’re away around the country or overseas almost half the time, a basement office serves just fine as home base.
The longtime Long Street resident who’s become an internationally recognised teacher and workshop facilitator estimates he spends about five months of the year away delivering to schools what he describes as “learning skills”.
“I hate calling it study skills,” he explains of his business and website The Art of Learning, which has seen him work with 160,000 students in more than 200 secondary schools throughout 15 countries. “That’s the death knell of effective learning.”
And the skills of effective learning, he insists, are something students the world over need to know. Lance not only teaches directly through school-based workshops in New Zealand and overseas, but also trains teachers and parents to help implement the learning programme he devised two decades ago.
It’s a programme in which the topic of resilience – or how people recover from failures and setbacks – is “very, very significant”, he explains. His technique teaches the skills of setting and achieving goals for academic success.
This year alone Lance has delivered his programme to 23 schools in nine mostly Asian countries.
But he also runs classes in New Zealand throughout the school year. When the Chronicle caught up with him last month in his basement office – with a bit of a harbour view – he’d just been almost the length of the country visiting schools from Whangarei right down to Invercargill in the Deep South.
Next month, Lance is off to Moscow where he’s training people to run his courses in Russia. He loves Russia, he says, and gets there about three times a year. After Russia he’ll visit Germany, Denmark, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, England, France and China.
Despite the mix of foreign countries, Lance is able to teach in English as much of his work is now through the IB or International Baccalaureate organisation which offers educational programmes like his to 4000 schools worldwide.
So in places like Turkey for instance, what he says is translated simultaneously via headphones worn by those doing the workshops – “like you see people at the United Nations (conferences)”, he explains.
Translations are done in some other countries “sentence by sentence”, he adds, which is a bit tedious but does work. “I have to be fairly clear … very precise.”
And jokes told in English often fall flat when working with
foreigners, he admits.But just how did this now
59-year-old father of four grown-up children get to deliver a world-renowned teaching programme – described as “potentially transformative” by educationalists – from the comfort of home in Raglan? It happened by chance, he told the Chronicle.
Lance discovered way back at Waikato Polytechnic when professional development was all the rage that he liked not only to teach but, fascinated by psychology, liked to teach how to learn. And he was “very lucky”, he says, to be teaching the tutors how to capture student attention at a time when accelerated learning was big news in education.
Lance’s work was based on his “failing well” study that helped kids do better at school. Then he came up with the plan to put together the learning techniques he’d devised and teach them to students directly.
The rest is history. Lance left the confines of academia and set up his own business, travelling to schools in New Zealand for five years before looking overseas and picking up a contract in England from which his international work has developed.
He’s published a book for students detailing study techniques to help with exam confidence, and has another for parents – entitled ‘The Importance of Failing Well’ – due out at the end of this month.
“The most enjoyable work I do is with parents,” says Lance
who always offers schools a free evening seminar for parents.
“That’s where I think I can make a difference,” he adds. “If parents can learn the skills of effective learning, they’re more able to teach their children to become resilient (learners).”
Now Lance has added yet another aspect to his programme through a focus on web-based learning. It’s
about helping schools integrate the internet into the classroom.
“This generation is the first ever to have another place to go to learn,” he explains of the 100-odd school subjects now accessible online. And students need only be directed to a website to find things for themselves on every study topic they need to supplement their classroom learning. E Symes
Travel educator: Lance King travels the world passing on what he describes as ‘learning skills’.
Opinion: Outside Looking in The other day something
happened that made me feel for the millionth time, that I am always on the outside of things. It could be anything, or it could be nothing, but it always kind of surprises and astounds me. I think to myself, “Again?! Again, you feel excluded?!” But you know, feeling separate and apart from others is not unique in any way. Most people feel similarly in one way or another; what differs is how well you can show up in the moment while also feeling that you don’t belong. And
although this reeks of ridiculous residue from kindergarten, this is the stuff that can hang around for a lifetime. So, the result is I often feel on the outside. On the other hand, just when I think I might become “a part” of something, I realize that I am still hovering just a smidgen outside the line. And even though this pattern of mine is firmly in place, hope is a powerful thing.
When I decided to move to Raglan for the ocean, the perfect rental appeared quite out of the blue. It was unpredictable, unbelievable,
and remained on the market for much longer than it should have. It was also 10 kilometers outside of Raglan. And there it was again… So close, and not as close as I had dreamt. This still leaves me on the outside looking in. However, I am close enough and the ocean is just a whiff away. In saying that, I want you to know that my future opinions in the Raglan Chronicle will come from left of center, just outside of town, up the hill, to the right, and right outside the line.Ezekiel Jacob

When the Manukau Rd Hospital facility was sold, the Raglan Hospital Charitable Trust set out to invest the sale proceeds and to change its focus to that of a philanthropic trust.
The Trust undertook to continue with the objects of the original deed and in particular assisting the elderly and sick in the Raglan community.
The original trust deed was set up in 1989 and needed quite a bit of changing to bring it up to date and to make it practically workable. It became apparent that the easiest way was to set up a new trust.
To this end a new Trust was formed containing the objects of the original deed.
The new Trust has just obtained ‘charitable’ status and was fully operational from 1 July 2014, after the assets had been transferred.
The Raglan Community Charitable Trust is now in operation and is currently developing a policy around funding applications.
In this current year $20,000 has been given to the Raglan Community Vehicle Trust to put towards a new vehicle or
operational expenses and also $2,100 has been given to the Raglan Rest home and Hospital towards the purchase of a shower seat.
The criteria for and procedure for applying will be released and applications for funding will be called for in the early part of 2015. These will be paid out by the 30 June 2015. It is envisaged that grants will be available for individuals and organizations whose needs are not being addressed by mainstream funding agencies (falling through the cracks).
It is anticipated that initially $25,000-30,000 per year will be available for these grants.
The hospital facility has undertaken a major renovation and addition and is now a facility of which the Raglan community can be proud. The Trust is pleased to have assisted in a limited way with this process also.
Raglan residents are encouraged to visit the facility and to see the transformation for themselves.
The Trustees of the new Raglan Community Charitable Trust are: Ngaire Brewerton, Tina Podmore, Kevin Doig, Norris Peart and Peter Storey. Trust Committee
Raglan Trust aims spelled out
Making history at the wharfMark Mathers, owner of Raglan Fish, recently decided that he would like to dedicate a wall of his business to the maritime history of the Raglan Wharf.
Last week he mustered up a group of long standing and knowledgeable locals, including Roydon Hartstone, Angeline Greensill and John Lawson to discuss the project. A group of ten or so reminisced about the past and how they have seen the wharf’s function change over the years. Plans were made to collect memorabilia in order to
create a visual timeline of the wharfs history from 1921 to present day. The history board, which will feature a slide show, is going to focus on the wharf in it’s present location at the end of Wallis Street.
Jordan Newberry of Raglan Fish is helping to coordinate the project and she asks people to come forward with any relevant information or photos that may be included. In particular she requests images or records from the old Dairy Company era, the various shipping companies and Golden Bay Cement. She asks that they pop in to see her at the wharf or they can email her at [email protected]. J. K.
