‘Unsinkables’ set NZ team rowing record for 100 kilometres in Pukekohe
By Jess Paton jess@districtspost.media
ll A team of ten dedicated people set the New Zealand team rowing record for 100 kilometres on an indoor rower at the Pukekohe Town Square on Saturday 7 September, raising money for charity at the same time. The team, called Unsinkables, dedicated their time and their fitness backgrounds to setting a new record and raised a total of $3,550.00 for the iSport Foundations SportMeToo initiative. The team was rowing from 9am onwards and despite the threatening weather, they enjoyed some sunshine and plenty of entertainment, such as dancing from 8 Count Dance Studio, weetbix challenges, Counties Manukau Steelers tug of war and a ‘Clash of the Codes’ with Counties Manukau Hockey. Louise Ramsay, organiser of the event, said “it was a big achievement on Saturday setting the record. We did it in six hours and 16 minutes. Everyone in the team worked really hard and gave it their all.” She said they are all stoked to have set a good benchmark, and just hope that no one try’s to break it too soon! “Our bodies are definitely aching now,” said Louise. “We can have a well deserved rest and I think a few of us will be avoiding the rowing machine for a while!” She explained that, overall, the day went really well. “We had lots of support from the community. The square was buzzing with people enjoying the entertainment and trying out the challenges - best of luck to those who bought raffle tickets!” The Unsinkables team say thank you to everyone who has supported them through various forms of donations, and a big thank you to those who gave their time to help them run and be a part of the day. “You all made it the successful day that it was,” explained Lousie. “Myself and the team greatly appreciate it.” Louise is passionate about kids being involved in sports and said the event was to raise funds for the kids in our region. “Apart from the physical and mental development they can get from sports, there are lots of positive aspects that kids can learn and acquire through sports such as teamwork, friendships, selfesteem, and achieving good moral principles,” she said. Unsinkables teamed up with the iSport Foundation to help raise funds for their SPORTMETOO initiative. This identifies children that are not engaged in playing sport, either because of the cost of participation or the quality of earlier experience or lack of enjoyment. The initiative helps kids get into sports where there might be a financial barrier stopping them from being involved. Louise said teaming up with iSport and raising funds for their SportMeToo initiative was a good way to ensure that all funds
raised will go back to the kids in this region and get them involved! The iSport Foundation believe every child has a right to be physically active, have access to positive role models and be the best they can be, regardless of their circumstances. By levelling the playing field, educating youth and providing support, the iSport Foundation aims to develop the next generation of young people. The foundation relies on the support of New Zealander’s to help young athletes reach their full potential. Congratulations to the Unsinkables team on setting a national record for a great cause, all in the Pukekohe Town Square!

Last week Waikato District Council (WDC) advised that following the serious erosion that has taken place at Port Waikato over the past couple of weeks, they have had to close the Port Waikato Community Hall. WDC has also moved a barrier at the beach car park inland a couple of metres and are increasing warning signage at the beach. They said they also need to start planning the demolition of the hall which will either be fully or partially demolished in the coming weeks.

Otaua residents will have a more reliable power supply with a million-dollar electricity network upgrade commencing shortly. More than 10 kilometres of network will be rebuilt and 100 power poles replaced as part of the large-scale project. Counties Power General Manger Operations, Dale Carline, says the work will provide a more robust network and enable a back feed to supply the area should a fault occur. “This project will significantly improve safety and reliability for 88 Otaua customers, including homes, farms, businesses and the school. More than 42 kilometres of conductor will be used to complete this $1.4m upgrade.” “Our crews will be working along the roadside in the area for the coming months and I urge road users to please slow down through work sites and follow all traffic management procedures in place to keep our crews safe.” The project should be completed by Christmas. Roads affected include Thomson, Maioro, Perry, Robertson, Forestry, Ghezzie, Motion, Hoods Landing, Wilson and Huarau Way.

Steps for Reid - Update FREE FLUE KIT WITH ALL METRO WOOD FIRES 01/09
After several months of fundraising to enable Reid Lovett, a Waiuku four-yearold who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy, to undergo life changing surgery at the St Louis Children’s Hospital in the USA, we have received an update from Emma, Reid’s mum on his progress.
COCKY RECKONS COCKY RECKONS COCKY RECKONS
“We are now in our last week of being in St Louis, we cannot believe that it has come so quickly. St Louis Children’s hospital is a wonderful place, there is not one thing we could fault them on. It really has been a world class experience and they are so very fortunate here to have the hospital on their doorstep. Surgery went well and Reid’s recovery has been excellent. He has bounced back quicker than we were expecting, which is fantastic. He initially spent five nights in hospital and has been doing physical therapy every day since. He will be doing therapy five times a week when we return. Reid’s back to pre-surgery strength already and will continue to progress now that he is not
being held back by the tightness in his legs. The difference after surgery is significant. We have no doubts that this has been the right decision and wish that it could be more easily available for New Zealand children rather than repeating what we have had to achieve to get here. Besides the surgery and rehab, we have been able to spend some quality time together as a family and will come home with some treasured memories. We thank our community everyday for what everyone has helped us to do”.

After only five years, the Harleh laser clinic in Pukekohe is growing faster than even the owner, Rowann Marsh, could have predicted. The clinics’ success in the industry hasn’t gone un-noticed and on 24 August, this was professionally recognised. “We went to Sydney to attend the awards night with Advanced Skin and had a huge surprise, we got named Clinic of the Year for New Zealand. We are so proud of this achievement and look forward to sharing this happiness,” said Rowann. Harleh was up against 400 clinics in New Zealand and 1,000 in Australia. The award is based on recognising the success, growth and customer feedback about the business. “We work super hard at doing the very best for our clients so to have this recognition is just so special.” Growth for this small business has meant an increase of staff, in the number of customers, sales and the location. About six months ago, after seeing the property on the market previously and falling in love, Rowann and her husband bought ‘their very first house’ and moved the business in. “Being on a main street has meant that we are more visible and we have just grown even more.” The clinic now has five staff, all trained in different aspects of the beauty industry. Some are more advanced than others, however Rowann has now been working in the industry for the past 15 years. Another technician is 12 years experienced, then there is five years and even the receptionist is trained in

the basics. “We are all specialists in different aspects but what sets us apart is that the whole team is really passionate about what we do. We are all just friends more than anything.” The name Harleh is an indication of how Rowann puts her whole-self into the clinic. The name comes from the names of those dearest to her – grandparents, parents and husband. “Hilda-Avis, Rex, Lyndsay, Evan and Howard. These people mean the most to me.” The clinic is more than just beauty treatments. They stock some of the best beauty products from America and Australia. Advanced Skincare, the distribution company of 10 of these products is an “amazing company, not your average type of distribution company. Once a month we all train together to learn about new products, techniques and advanced skin things.” “We want to advance all the time, there are new products, different types of lasers…” The laser they currently have is the only one in Pukekohe,and one of only three in Auckland. Although the word laser sounds dramatic, Rowann assures me that it is very safe technology that you don’t feel but the results that show ARE dramatic. “It’s basically a beam of light in which no energy is lost and all the emphasis goes into the target point. It doesn’t damage the skin in any way.” There is a lot of work and passion that goes into this six day a week clinic and the results speak for themselves. “We are so booked up for the next two weeks that we have cancellation lists. If we have a cancellation we just fill it again.”

Spring gardening tips SOIL - Prepare garden beds now, ready to plant straight into once soil temperatures increase. It’s best to start off with a nice clean slate and garden hygiene plays an important part. Tidy up from winter and remove any dead or old plants and weeds from your garden beds. Soil will need a boost, so apply a generous layer of compost and work it in thoroughly. This aerates and improves the organic matter, nutrient content, and microbial activity of the soil, and will give your seeds and seedlings the best start. SEED TRAYS OR DIRECT SOWING - Get in early and start sowing your favourite spring and summer crops indoors in seed trays ready for planting out later. Leave sowing seeds directly into the garden until temperatures increase then you can directly sow summer radishes, sweet corn, peppers, courgettes, beans etc. Remember where you live dictates when you can plant directly into the garden, and seasons can vary.
ROSES - Spring is the time roses and flowers come into their own. Feed roses regularly with rose fertiliser starting in mid-October and repeat every 4 to 6 weeks. Plant wildflower seeds now to add a burst of colour to your garden and attract beneficial insects.
SUMMER ANNUALS - When winter flowers such as violas and pansies come to an end it’s time to plant summer annuals such as cosmos, petunias, and marigolds. Soil preparation is key so dig in lots of good quality compost into your flower bed. Many people grow annuals in pots - for best results toss out last season’s worn-out soil and replace with fresh new container mix. HERBS - Spring is a perfect time to renew your herbs. They are relatively inexpensive to buy so start afresh in October/November and plant directly into containers or out in the garden. Alternatively grow them from seed – check the seed packet for guidance. Many herbs prefer free-draining, hot, sunny positions.
SOWING SEEDS - When sowing seeds, as a rule of thumb, plant the seed as deep as the size of the seed, so a 1cm size seed should be planted 1cm deep. Seedlings grown indoors need to be “hardened off” before being transplanted into the garden. It’s an important step and if not done correctly can result in wilting or death from the sudden change of conditions. To do this put seedlings trays or pots outside in a warm spot in the sun, starting with an hour a day and extending by one hour each day for 10 to 14 days. Always bring them inside at night.
LAWN LOVERS - For lawn lovers spring is the classic time to get outside and fertilise the lawn as it comes into growth from Mid October onwards. The secret to lush green lawns the neighbours will envy, is fertilising it regularly and adequately with lawn fertiliser. Fertiliser lowers the PH of the soil which means the grass will grow better than the weeds! TREES AND SHRUBS - Don’t forget your trees and shrubs during this important growing season. As the soil warms, dig in compost and apply Tree and Shrub fertiliser around plants at six weekly intervals till Christmas. If the soil has been too wet over winter to plant trees, then spring is the perfect time to do it.

A beautiful lawn doesn’t just happen by itself and The Lawnmower Man Limited, a franchiser who has recently welcomed his newest franchisee, prides himself in his service and dedication to mowing your lawns perfectly!
ADVERTORIAL
The Lawnmower Man Limited
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Peter Gray, owner of Lawnmower Man Limited, may be a name that you recognise, as he’s been around for 25 or so years now. Peter mowed his first commercial lawn in 1992, launched his business in July 1995, and loves transforming people’s little corners of paradise! By 1997, Peter knew that he wanted to franchise his business. Two issues prevented him at that time. One, he would not have bought a franchise himself and two, he hadn’t met a lawn mowing franchisee who did not regret buying their lawn mowing franchise, wishing instead that they had been independent. Problems will always remain problems until there are sufficient reasons to solve them and it was many more years before Peter found a suitable solution. Peter came up with a unique franchise model that allows franchisee’s a massive amount of autonomy and the ability to become independent of the franchise. He currently has six franchisees, seven including himself. Now, Peter and his franchisees will happily turn up to your property that looks anything from untidy to very untidy, do the agreed job and leave satisfied that ‘The Lawnmower Man’
has transformed your tiny little corner of paradise. Lawn mowing was something that Peter got into accidentally. He is allergic to at least two grasses and possibly a couple of tree varieties. He has lily white fair skin and doesn’t get along with the sun very well, but he doesn’t let that stop him. It all started when Peter was asked by someone one day to mow a couple of lawns for them. They then left the district and left Peter to mow the remainder of their lawns for them. Peter completed a six month course in supervisory management, as he was unemployed at the time after leaving teaching. He then discovered a course at the same campus, for people becoming self employed, so applied for a grant to do that. Peter loves his job, as it’s an opportunity for him to provide a good service to people who need or want it. What goes around comes around and Peter knows the more he helps his franchisees, the better the business ultimately is for him too. Currently, Peter’s franchisee’s work in Franklin and can cover as far south as Huntly, right up to the Awhitu Peninsula, Mangere Bridge, Bombay and even Paparata. Peter has big plans for the future, including focusing on solely being a franchiser and developing into Auckland,

At only 19 years of age, Norah has become a successful business owner and is passionate about mowing your lawns to perfection. Norah was working for a local landscaping company after completing NCEA Level 3 and graduating high school in 2017, before deciding she could do it for herself and be her own boss. She has been driving lawnmowers since she was nine, so already has ten years of solid experience behind her. With a love for meeting new people, Norah intends to keep doing what she’s doing and grow her business every day. Servicing the wider Franklin area, Norah’s Lawns will leave your lawn neat and tidy every time. Norah does her best to only operate the best machinery that the market has to offer. She is passionate about her job and sees great potential for the future. The benefit of Peter’s franchise system is that Norah can develop her business and she’s rewarded for the effort she’s applied. Peter benefits from his contribution, but Norah benefits 100 per cent from her own efforts!

Quote; “Christian life is more than many take it to be. It does not consist wholly in gentleness, patience, meekness, and kindliness. These graces are essential; but there i s need also of courage, force, energy, and perseverance. The path that Christ marks out is a narrow, selfdenying path. To enter that path and press on through difficulties and discouragements requires men who are more than weaklings. Men of stamina are wanted, men who will not wait to have their way smoothed and every obstacle removed, men who will inspire with fresh zeal the flagging efforts of dispirited workers, men whose hearts are warm with Christian love and whose hands are strong to do their Master’s work.
mind. God has given us ability, to think and to act, and it is by acting with carefulness, looking to Him for wisdom that you will become capable of bearing burdens. Stand in your God-given personality. Be no other person’s shadow. Expect that the Lord will work in and by and through you. Never think that you have learned enough, and that you may now relax your efforts. The cultivated mind is the measure of the man. Your education should continue during your lifetime; every day you should be learning and putting to practical use the knowledge gained. Remember that in whatever position you may serve you are revealing motive, developing character. Whatever your work, do it with exactness, with diligence; overcome the inclination to seek an easy task.
Some who engage in missionary service are weak, nerveless, spiritless, easily discouraged. They lack push. They have not those positive traits of character that give power to do something--that spirit and energy that kindle enthusiasm. Those who would win success must be courageous and hopeful. They should cultivate not only the passive but the active virtues. While they are to give the soft answer that turns away wrath, they must possess the courage of a hero to resist evil. With the charity that endures all things, they need the force of character that will make their influence a positive power. Some have no firmness of character. Their plans and purposes have no definite form and consistency. They are of but little practical use in the world. This weakness, indecision, and inefficiency should be overcome. There i s i n true Christian character an indomitableness that cannot be moulded or subdued by adverse circumstances. We must have moral backbone, an integrity that cannot be flattered, bribed, or terrified. God desires us to make use of every
Those who study how to give as little as possible of their physical, mental, and moral power are not the workers upon whom God can pour out abundant blessings. Their example is contagious. Self-interest is the ruling motive. Those who need to be watched and who work only as every duty is specified to them, are not the ones who will be pronounced good and faithful. Workers are needed who manifest energy, integrity, diligence, those who are willing to do anything that needs to be done.
opportunity for securing a preparation for His work. He expects us to put all our energies into its performance and to keep our hearts alive to its sacredness and its fearful responsibilities. Many who are qualified to do excellent work accomplish little because they attempt little. Thousands pass through life as if they had no great object for which to live, no high standard to reach. One reason for this is the low estimate which they place upon themselves. Christ paid an infinite price for us, and according to the price paid He desires us to value ourselves. Be not satisfied with reaching a low standard. We are not what we might be, or what it is God’s will that we should be. God has given us reasoning powers, not to remain inactive, or to be perverted to earthly and sordid pursuits, but that they may be developed to the utmost, refined, sanctified, ennobled, and used in advancing the interests of His kingdom.
None should consent to be mere machines, run by another man’s
Many become inefficient by evading responsibilities for fear of failure. Thus they fail of gaining that education which results from experience, and which reading and study and all the advantages otherwise gained cannot give them. Man can shape circumstances, but circumstances should not be allowed to shape the man. We should seize upon circumstances as instruments by which to work. We are to master them, but should not permit them to master us. Men of power are those who have been opposed, baffled, and thwarted. By calling their energies into action, the obstacles they meet prove to them positive blessings. They gain selfreliance. Conflict and perplexity call for the exercise of trust in God and for that firmness which develops power. Christ gave no stinted service. He did not measure His work by hours. His time, His heart, His soul and strength, were given to labour for the benefit of humanity. Through weary days He toiled, and through long nights He bent in prayer for grace and endurance that He might do a larger work. With strong crying and tears He sent His petitions to heaven, that His human nature might be strengthened, that He might be braced to meet the wily foe in all his deceptive workings, and fortified to fulfil His missions of uplifting humanity. In the life of Christ, everything was made subordinate to His work, the great work of redemption which He came to accomplish. And the same devotion, the same self-denial and sacrifice, the same subjection to the claims of the word of God, is to be manifest in His disciples. Everyone who accepts Christ as his personal Saviour will long for the privilege of serving God. {MH 497-502} Edited Man can shape circumstances, but circumstances should not be allowed to shape the man, for you “Create your Environment, and your Environment Creates your Character.”
We find strength and truth in His Word, His Word Alone...

Pukekohe ready to roar for ITM Supersprint Pukekohe is ready to roar as ITM Auckland SuperSprint heads to the area from the 13 to the 15 September. The event will bring about 120,000 visitors to Pukekohe’s famous raceway over the three days, but not before a huge amount of work is done to ready the facility. The ITM Auckland SuperSprint is the only international round on the 2019 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship and involves six New Zealand support categories. Practice day on the Friday attracts big crowds ahead of the weekend racing, but few of the thousands of spectators appreciate the enormous behind the scenes effort needed to bring the racing to life. Racing requires St John medical experts to be on-site at Pukekohe Park, and the presence of a huge security team, not only to manage the crowds, but to keep the millions of dollars worth of cars and associated racing technology secure. An on-site operations command centre must be put in
place and be outfitted with the required technology and communications links, all tested multiple times, the garages must be prepped, the track groomed, and a lot of toilets. With many visitors flooding the area, a traffic management plan will have been submitted and approved long ago, and parking restrictions, including no stopping and bus parking sites will all have been sorted. Public car parking is available in neighbouring streets and properties. Paid event parking is available onsite and can be pre-booked here, while a mobility parking shuttle is operating from the transport hub to the venue, with another mobility parking and drop off zone at Gate 2. Angela Fulljames, Franklin Local Board chair, says organisers keep the Pukekohe Business Association informed to maximise any opportunities and the event brings in thousands of dollars to the local community.

Growing great gardeners A national search is on for young kiwi gardeners who have a passion for plants and gardening.
The Yates Budding Young Gardener competition is now open to children aged 5 to 15 years, with all levels of capability, who just love spending time in the garden growing things. The lucky winner will become a Yates ambassador for one year and win an amazing family trip to Hawaii. Judge and gardening guru, Ruud Kleinpaste, said learning how to garden sets children up for life. “It is becoming a fading skill with many of today’s kids not knowing what a seed is, or where potatoes come from. As our lives get busier and more complex, the art of gardening becomes more important. Producing food is one obvious benefit but caring for a plant can teach children about responsibility as well as science, nature and nutrition. Taking time to learn the basics of gardening brings so many rewards,” said Mr Kleinpaste. All entrants will need to complete the entry form, answer a number of gardening questions and either submit photographs or a short video sharing their garden. Seven regional winners will be selected to receive a massive Yates Budding Young Gardener Hamper valued at over $300. The overall winner, selected from the seven regional winners, will be off to Hawaii with their family. The five day holiday will include flights, accommodation and a rental car plus tickets to some of the islands wonderful natural attractions. The grand prize also includes spending a day with a Yates horticulturist in your own garden, learning some great skills and tips. To enter visit https://www.yates.co.nz/budding-young-gardener/ Entries close Sunday 6 October, 2019, and the grand prize winner will be announced during National Gardening Week (21 to 28 October).
Districts Post Competition Draw us a picture of your garden, or something in your garden, and be in to win a Budding Young Gardener hamper (containing a selection of Yates flower and vegie seeds, fertilisers and growing mix). Open to children aged 5 to 15. Entries close 4pm Friday 20 September. Drop off to Districts Post office (18 Bowen Street, Waiuku). Judges decision final. All entries will be hung in our office window and published on our Facebook page.

GOLF CLUB (INC)
There was a good turnout of both local and visiting golfers for Awhitu Golf Club’s August Open Day! The visitors included a large group of golfers from the Tuakau Cosmopolitan Club, led by Terry Colemen, who traveled out to the event in the Club’s mini van. The playing conditions were challenging with Awhitu’s prevailing wind making it a good test for the golfers out on course. Glenn Harper was the low score of the day with an excellent 74. Doug Harper had the best stableford score with 42 points, followed closely by visiting junior golfer Ricci Putohe on 41 points. Local golfer Julie Duncan was the leading ladies golfer on the day with 32 stableford points as well as recording the longest drive of the women. John Ruddell and Coleman were nearest the pins on the first and tenth holes respectively, with Richard Peters again collecting the longest drive prize in the mens division. There was a solitary two for the day from Daryl Putohe on the first hole. The next Open Day is on 29 September, 2019, with a 9.30 am tee off.
