Measles reported at two schools

wo cases of the highly contagious disease measles have been reported at two local schools.

Dr Julia Peters, clinical director at the Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS), confirmed there have been two cases of measles associated with Brookby School and Wakaaranga School.

No other schools in this area have had confirmed cases although Howick Primary thought it had a case.

“If there is a measles case in a school, ARPHS advises the Ministry of Education, and works with the school to inform staff, students and their families,” Dr Peters said.

“Students who have shared a classroom with the case and who are not immune or unvaccinated are requested to stay away from school as they could be developing the illness.

“We are asking schools not to exclude non-immune or unvaccinated students and staff until the case is confirmed. However, the suspected case does have to stay away from school until the diagnosis is confirmed.

We are asking parents who

think their child has measles to phone their GP surgery first so the child can be isolated on arrival.”

Wakaaranga school principal Brent Jenkin said late on Friday, June 28, they were notified of a measles case at the school.

“Because measles is a notifiable disease, we now need to follow Ministry of Health guidelines to try to minimise the spread of the measles virus at our school. This is now being managed following Boar of Trustee policy guidelines.

“Over the weekend we have made contact with those families where our records show that students are either not

was diagnosed. “The child is in quarantine at home currently and was infectious here at school in Room 3 on Wed 19th of June and Thu 20th of June,” the notice said.

The school, who the Times has attempted to contact, advised parent sto keep nonimmunised children at home for the rest of the term. “We have tried to contact those parents in Room 3 who have children that are not immunised, or may in fact have immune deficiencies,” the school said.

“If you haven’t already advised us of your child/ren’s current state of immunisations/immunity it would be a great time to update their records here at the school.”

Meanwhile Howick Primary School principal Leyette Callister said her school had a scare.

“The message came from a child who told her teacher she had recovered from measles.

The information only came to the office, via the teacher late on Friday afternoon so we were unable to investigate further until Monday when we discovered the case was “non-notified”.

immunised or are not fully immunised.”

Where students were not immunised, the school has asked that the children do not return until after the upcoming school holidays. This is to enable the required 14 day quarantine period to be observed.

“Where students are partially immunised, we have asked that the parents of the children that they provide confirmation of full immunisation before returning to school. Failing that the required 14 day quarantine period is also to be observed.”

Brookby School confirmed a case of measles to parent in a notice on June 28, the day it

Ninety students out of 334 stayed home after the school published an advisory.

“It may appear we overreacted but we didn’t want to be seen as careless if this had proven to be measles. We have spent today (Monday) checking and updating all our immunisation records and are asking parents to check and send us this if our records are unclear as we recently changed over student management systems and not all the information transferred over.”

What are the symptoms of measles?

The symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes and white spots inside the mouth. After three to five days a rash appears on the face and then moves down the body.

because Hawkins rejected a settlement offer; unreasonably sought to adjourn the trial; or both,” Justice Downs said in his judgment.

“The defendants also contend they are not liable for the plaintiffs’ costs and disbursements. They submit the “something more” element required for non-party costs is missing.”

Justice Downs said: “Nonparty costs are exceptional.

They are awarded only when it is just to do so, and when “something more” about the non-party’s conduct warrants costs.

“The plaintiffs contend McConnell Ltd and two of its directors, David and John McConnell, should pay nonparty costs.”

Justice Downs ruled that

McConnell must pay nonparty costs (and disbursements) of $1,100,126.77. The application is dismissed in relation to David and John McConnell.

“In summary, McConnell authorised Hawkins to vigorously defend a claim that should have been settled; knew HGL(Hawkins Group Ltd) was paying Hawkins’ legal fees and disbursements because Hawkins could not; was complicit in wielding Hawkins’ likely insolvency as a weapon; and guaranteed representation for its subsidiary when Hawkins would otherwise have been unrepresented,” Justice Downs said.

“In combination, this constitutes the “something other” required for non-party costs to be just.”

The parent company of a construction company found liable for more than $13 million for repairs on Botany Down Secondary School has been slapped with legal costs of more than $1m.

McConnell is the ultimate parent of H Construction North Island Ltd, formerly known as Hawkins Construction North Island Ltd, or Hawkins for short.

Hawkins built the buildings comprising Botany Downs Secondary College which have been plagued with water tightness issues. After a four-week trial in the High Court at Auckland, Justice Mathew Downs found Hawkins liable for almost $13.5 million, “the amount necessary to

repair the school”.

Ten days later, Hawkins was placed in receivership. Within a month of the judgment, Hawkins went into voluntary liquidation.

Justice Downs released his ruling on correct costs last week. The plaintiffs – the Ministry of Education, the Secretary for Education and the Board of Trustees of Botany Downs Secondary College – sought $1.48m from the defendants. This was made up of $801,548 costs and $684,008.77 disbursements.

The defendants accept Hawkins would ordinarily be liable for the disbursements and $285,000 costs. They contend the $801,548 figure is grossly inflated.

Cancer and plogging changed her life ■■By Farida Master

eing diagnosed with cancer saved her life, says Charlotte Liu who has learned to embrace life and do something positive for the environment and the community.

She started a non-profit organisation, a Better Life Foundation that encourages people to embrace plogging.

A combination of jogging and picking up litter, plogging originated in Sweden in 2016 following an increased concern about plastic pollution. Plogging is considered a good workout as it provides variation in body movements by adding bending, squatting and stretching apart to running, hiking or walking.

“Cancer changed me in a good way. I led a very unhealthy life earlier and was closed to everything,” says Charlotte.

Being down in the dumps after she had a full mastectomy, Charlotte found herself emotionally wrought and lonely, she admits.

“I was really sad and would keep crying. My life had no purpose at all. I didn’t want to tell anyone what I had been through.”

Seeing the state of mind Charlotte was in, the Cancer Society advised counselling.

Charlotte gradually learned to open up and trust friends. It

was during a conversation with a close friend that Charlotte realised she needed a higher purpose in life.

“I wanted to help women and educate them about sustainability.

“Immigrants come here to lead a better life. And the wonderful thing about being in New Zealand is that you can restart everything, no matter what age.

My friends encouraged me to start a charity when I was going through chemo. It’s what kept me going,” says Charlotte, who is quite active despite undergoing treatment.

“After some soul-searching I

realised that when I help others, I feel really good. Sadly, I wasn’t healthy earlier because I was chasing money and all the material things in life. A simple life is so much better when you are happy and can open up your heart and mind.

“Strange as it may sound, my illness encouraged me to lead a better life. It’s one thing to have a weak body but it is far more important to be mentally fit and have a sustainable way of living.”

With so much microplastic pollution in parks, beaches and bushes, Charlotte called Auckland Council to find out about areas they needed help with in

terms of a clean-up.

Point View Dr, Barry Curtis Park, Totara Park and Waipuna are some of the areas; the Better Life Foundation has undertaken plogging in.

“We can’t take more than a group of 15,” says Charlotte.

Every month she announces a time and place on social media platform WeChat for volunteers to sign in.

“We also do a swap meet that encourages people that end up buying things they don’t really need to exchange it with those who want it. As they say, one man’s rubbish may be another man’s treasure.”

Elemental is here During July as part of the new Auckland Winter Festival – called Elemental – there are number of things in play to tie in with the theme including the lighting up of the big tree on Stockade Hill.

It will be lit up each evening during July to Celebrate the East. Seven eateries are also taking part and Paradice Ice Skating will provide a winter wonderland in Botany through Skate in the East.

East Auckland Tourism will run an informal historic information event on two days - July 13 and 14 from 11am to 1pm with someone at three sites in the Howick Village who will be talking about the local history, The Historic East.

OPINION

Major reforms needed in housing Too many young New Zealanders are struggling to access affordable housing. We don’t build enough houses, and building them is too expensive.

At the same time, councils seem obsessed with efforts to slow things down. Parliament also won’t make the tough calls around structural reform.

This Government at least had a big idea to build 100,000 affordable homes, but KiwiBuild is turning out to be as much of a failure as National’s housing approach before it.

It will take a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth from vested interests, but until we seriously overhaul the RMA, very little will change.

Our primary planning law is nearly three decades old and it’s been bent and modified so many times it barely resembles the lofty framework Sir Geoffrey Palmer once envisaged.

But that framework is all about protectionism. Houses won’t get built fast enough while most of the cogs in the planning engine are focussed on slowing things down.

Parliament needs to pick up the challenge of putting in place a new set of legislative tools for house building. Tools that enable developments, force councils to act and let the private sector get on and build the houses we so desperately need.

Auckland is short about 50,000 houses. We need to build 14,000 a

year to stay on top of population growth, yet we are only delivering around 10,000.

Auckland’s local government politicians proudly hold up the vast library of plans they have been working on, but those plans still constrain land supply in ways that will keep young Kiwis locked out of future housing.

Only by opening up new areas for land to be built on will Auckland be able to supply housing to meet future demand.

It’s basic economics that most of us learned in Form 4 but, for some reason, balancing supply and demand has long evaded us.

By making some tough calls about future growth, rezoning land that is being used inefficiently and providing upfront the public infrastructure, councils and government can open the door.

Re-arranging ministerial deckchairs won’t deliver more houses.

Crushing the roadblocks in the way of the people who can actually build young Kiwis their future homes is a far better bet. ➤ Jami-Lee Ross is MP for Botany

Mid-winter festival celebrates diversity T

here was singing, dancing and cake at a Mid-Winter Festival celebrating the ethnic diversity of Botany and Flat Bush.

About 100 people turned out for the festival organised by the Botany and Flat Bush Ethnic Association.

They enjoyed music from a live band followed by high tea at the Kotahi Community Centre on June 22.

Association chairman and Howick Local Board member Peter Young

says the festival not only celebrated the winter solstice but also recognised “happy and healthy communities” and the area’s ethnic make-up.

Hunua MP Andrew Bayly and Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown joined in the festivities along with Howick Local Board chair David Collings and Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown.

owick Village was abuzz with activity as the Howick Farmers Market and the Eco Day had a great turnout on Saturday morning.

Marking the end of single use plastic bags, the community event organised by the Howick Village Association (HVA) to support environmentally friendly practices was a huge success.

Mayor Phil Goff along with local councillors, MPs and Howick Local Board members were all there to support all things green and sustainable.

Macleans College students informed people about beeswax wraps, while Auckland Council and Rotary Clubs gave away over a 100 rat traps and educated people about weed removal.

Visitors also got to learn about Kauri dieback, bee protection and worm composting. Butter churning by volunteers from Howick Historical Society even had Simeon Brown’s daughter, baby Ana Brown interested.

Recycling took a front seat with spots to drop off old mobile phones, e-waste, medicines, preloved bras, swimwear and underwear, glasses/contact lenses and clean plastic bread bags.

“There’s a William Morris quote that has always stuck with me. It goes, ‘Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful’ and I want my store to help people find things that are both beautiful and useful,” she says.

It’s for this very reason that everything in the store is handpicked from the catalogues of carefully considered brands and companies.

Nestled in the heart of Howick, Cinnamon Brown Homestore is a treasure trove of beautiful linens, scented candles, beauty and wellness products, fragrances and homewares.

From the classic designs of Bianca Lorrene Linen to the contemporary look of Seneca and Baksana, Cinnamon Brown is your one stop shop for all things inspiring, desirable and unique.

The architecturally designed store on its own is worth the visit, but with stock catered to just about everyone, you’ll be sure to walk out with something special.

Making your home feel cosy is a process, Christine says and she wants to help by offering people high-quality pieces that are made to last.

“Our linen for example, I want people to be able to build up their

collection piece by piece and keep those pieces for many years to come,” she says.

“With our bodycare ranges, I want to offer people things that are good for their skin and are really worth the money.”

Christine says the business is a family affair with her two daughters, son and husband all pitching in.

She says her two daughters Jenna and Stacey help her pick out things to suit younger customers, while her husband Daryll and son Matt ensure there’s something for men

too. Her friend Donna is helping out a few hours per week and she is great with colour and design.

Among their stock is Ecoya, Ashley & Co, Triumph & Disaster and Huxter.

They also proudly support New Zealand businesses such as Living Light who create handmade candles and home fragrances from their head office in Nelson and Surmanti’s all organic, New Zealand made beauty and wellness products.

While new signage and subtle changes are on the horizon, Chris-

tine says she loved the store before she owned it and wanted to keep the feel of it the same.

“We have a lot of loyal customers who love the store just as it is, like I do, so I’ll be working hard to keep stocking their favourite brands and giving them the same service they have come to love,” says Christine.

Christine takes a no-pressure approach to customer service, wanting you to feel at ease wandering around the store without watching the clock.

This talented cast of 23 have worked hard to bring this story to life through the magic of live theatre.

Thirteen-year-old Tim Slogrove, who plays the lead role, says, “This is my first time play-

ing a main character and I’ve found it a challenge to step up my acting to a new level.

The Pied Piper is a character who is boastful and demanding but also caring and kind to the children.”

ART

The art of storytelling Bringing a person’s story to life through art, Mark Stevenson has taken his passion for all things creative and made a name for himself in the community.

His unique business sees an array of customers tell him a story about a person they love, taking the information you give

and “picturises it in a way that is highly engaging” for everyone who sees it.

But despite his success, Mark isn’t interested in the materialistic side of it, preferring to focus on the way his art makes people feel. When a person looks at his art he wants them to be filled with “encouragement, joy and wonder”.

➤ When: Thursday July 4 at 7.30pm, Friday July 5 at 7.30pm, Saturday July 6 at 1.30pm and 4pm, Sunday July 7 at 1.30pm and 4pm He hopes when someone sees his art they see “the whole essence behind it” and it “says exactly what they want to see” which is to see the “better them”.

He wants to bring some colour back into the community as he believes his artwork is fun but meaningful and he finds that “humour is what the world needs right now”. ➤ To check out his artwork, visit the King and I Productions Facebook page or contact Mark at boyzie1964@gmail.com

Another 13-year-old, Ben Edwards, who plays Peter, admits that while she found the posture and movement of playing Peter a bit of a challenge as he uses a crutch and has a limp, he really enjoyed the story of the Pied Piper “and found the play to be good fun”.

Brooke Martin, who plays Alisa, says that though she found it challenging “to act overly protective as Alisa is to Peter. I have enjoyed playing a character similar to my age”.

The family-friendly play is for children five years of age and upwards.

he Howick Children’s and Youth Theatre is excited about the production of The Pied Piper -a colourful and cheerful re-enactment of the very famous and somewhat dark classic tale at the Harlequin Theatre from July 4-7.

Directed by Kelly Raos, this version of the play puts a positive spin on the story, with the ‘Land of the Piper’ being portrayed as a wonderful place for children to have lots of fun.

Rats! The town is full of rats and no one knows what to do!

Then a young musician comes to town, promising that he will rid the town of the rats in return for three bags of gold coins.

When he plays a haunting tune on his pipe, the rats follow him to their deaths in the river, but the mayor won’t pay the piper...

victims like dairies, service stations, fast food outlets and liquor stores.

Stores have been advised to adopt prevention designs like removing cluttering signage and posters from front windows, upgrading CCTV cameras and, for bigger retailers, installing fog cannons.

Retailers were taking real ownership, Inspector Spiller said, and making their shops and staff safe.

Meanwhile the police message about safeguarding vehicles and their contents appeared not to be getting through. “This is nothing new but something the police have reiterated endlessly,” she said.

“We’re complacent about our safety, particularly about

our property because we live in a safe area.

“The large increase in nondwelling burglaries relates to people leaving valuables in cars on their driveways and leaving their vehicles unlocked.”

“We continue to create an environment where offenders gravitate to target because the rewards are good in this location.”

Home-owners could help themselves by clearing the garage and parking the car in there, by removing the garage door opener from any vehicles on the drive, by removing highvalue goods from cars and by simply ensuring the cars on the driveway are locked.

Those noticing a spate of break-ins on their street should

naturally advise police (the new non-emergency police number 105 was best) and perhaps look to forming a neighbourhood support group.

Suspicious vehicles and people in the area should also be reported (111 if on property and 105 if not).

Police would always try to attend but that was dependent upon how busy officers were.

“It depends on operational demand at the time which dictates our response to any particular job,” Inspector Spiller said.

“We need to work together to be the safest community. To do that we need our community support and them to take ownership of their safety and be vigilant.”

Youth exchange

AT officials at your service

Celebrating a leap of faith J

ust chilling at Cockle Bay beach with other international students is how Rotary Youth Exchange student Maria Kenborg from Denmark describes the image.

It’s been a year of great adventure discovering New Zealand, bonding with host families and Rotarians as well as a journey of growth for four Rotary Youth Exchange students Anna Schmitt, Maria Kenborg, Bruna Perroni Coelho and Giovanna Do Rego, hosted by local Rotary clubs.

Now it is time to say goodbye as they fly home to different countries next week, taking with them bags full of special memories and extraordinary experiences that have changed them forever.

A big leap of faith that was well worth it, says Maria.

Auckland Transport (AT) has reiterated that it has official AT members canvassing residents during the construction of the Eastern Busway.

AT has responded after a Pakuranga woman warned residents to look out for suspected scammers who were passing themselves off as AT officials.

The woman, who’s name the Times is withholding, said she was approached at their gated community recently by two people wearing high-visibility jackets. The scammers also had false documentation and declared themselves as employees of AT. However an AT spokesperson said it is assisting residents with their commute to work, offering the opportunity to have a personalised journey plan created.

This is part of a wider initiative to minimise the number of cars travelling through the Eastern Busway construction site, those going round follow the protocol in terms of identifying themselves, however feedback is welcomed, says the AT spokesperson.

If you would like more information about the new travel options available in East Auckland, the wider initiative or to sign up for a personalised journey plan online, visit AT.govt.nz/travelplaneast.

Environment

A creative eye on nature A combination of passion for the environment, fashion and all things crafty attracted schools from all over South Auckland to enter the 2019 Eye on Nature Wearable Arts Fashion Show.

A sold-out show at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau recently led to the discovery of Auckland’s most promising, young ‘environmentally-conscious’ fashion designers and master upcyclers of 2019.

Tamariki walked the catwalk to an audience of 600, as they showed off their work of art with their eco-friendly wearable art pieces.

Each art piece represents an environmental message or concern which young Aucklanders have channelled through creative art to relate to the event theme; Friend or Foe, Restoring Habitats, Reducing Threats - Hoa hehoariri kia haumaru papakainga.

The Manukau Beautification Charitable Trust (MBCT) has been running this event for six years with the aim of giving those creatively inclined and environmentally-minded, a space to unleash their talents and voice their concerns for papatuanuku.

Barbara Carney, event manager of MBCT says, “This event is a platform for young creatives who care deeply about our environment – through artistic talents, many of our South Auckland Maori and Pacifica students of an art based culture will appreciate this.”

The competition was tough with 60 entries and a total prize pool of $3500 cash in prizes. Open to all Primary and Secondary Schools in the greater Auckland region.

The Wearable Art pieces related to the theme and students were encouraged to make the outfits from organic, recycled or repurposed materials.

Judges from the Manukau Institute of Technology, Auckland Art Gallery and Auckland Botanic Gardens marked on interpretation of the theme, materials used, designer statement, originality, innovation and construction of the garment and artists overall effort. ➤➤Schools that won in east Auckland area are: Point View Primary – Merit; Wakaraanga Primary – Merit, Somerville Intermediate – Merit and 2nd place and Botany Downs Secondary College – Merit and 3rd place.

OPINION

Combine top playmakers

With Ivan Agnew

ew’s AgnANGLE

C

all me crazy but I would like to see the All Blacks combine Richie Mo’unga and Beauden Barrett in the five-eighths before the World Cup in Japan.

Both were in dazzling form during the Crusaders 30-26 Super Rugby semi-final thriller against the Hurricanes in Christchurch on Saturday night when Barrett sharpened his passing during the Canes storming second half finish.

Renowned for his running game, he made 21 runs for 59 metres and beat six defenders compared with Mo’unga’s 12 runs for 96m in which he beat five.

Starting both in the number 10 and 12 jerseys in the rugby championship pre-World Cup would provide so many more attacking options although it would be at the cost of losing midfield muscle.

It’s a risk selectors Steve Hansen, Ian Foster and Grant Fox are unlikely to take so late in the piece especially with Sonny Bill Williams, Ryan Crotty, Jack Goodhew, Anton Lienert-Brown and Ngani Laumape all striving for midfield berths.

Nevertheless it is a shame to waste a player of Mo’unga’s class on the bench for three-quarters of the game before bringing him on and moving Barrett to fullback where his brother Jordie and Ben Smith also have form.

You could say the same about dynamic No 7 Ardie Savea who is

renowned for his running game but has also made far more turnovers than any other forward in the Super championship.

Still one has to admire the courage of a gutsy Sam Cane whose quick return to form after a long absence because of a broken neck was remarkable.

for a penalty that could have won the Canes the game.

Perenara scored one of the Canes four tries with Laumape (2) and Ben Lam grabbing the others.

Electrifying right wing Sevu Reece scored two beauties for the Crusaders with Mo’unga adding another and scoring 15 points for a 100 per cent success rate with the boot.

Reece is also pushing his claims for an All Black jersey, having scored his first try from a Crotty cross-kick and his second with a goosestep following a huge Braydon Ennor skip pass.

He also had a hand in Mo’unga’s when gathering the first-five’s perfect chip kick, drawing the final defender and passing to him.

While it was once again the backs that starred, a huge factor in the Hurricanes’ titanic comeback was the refusal of their tenacious forwards to bow to the All Blacks studded Crusaders pack.

Meanwhile having thrashed the Brumbies 39-7 (five tries to one) at home, the impressive Jaguares will hope to make history by winning the final against the Crusaders following a 17-hour flight to Christchurch.

TEACHING STYLE: Our first goal is to help the students understand what is going on in class so that they can take an interest in it and not feel embarrassed. This usually involves giving them some background in the fundamentals of the topic and setting homework so that they gain confidence and don’t forget how to do it by the next week. If they are ok with what is happening in class we can then cover any other topics which they had trouble with previously.

Once all that is done we can start looking at exam papers and learning some exam techniques.

We use the “Socratic” method of teaching wherein we mostly keep asking questions until the light dawns. (We love that moment when a smile slowly spreads across their face and we know that they have got it.) When students feel that they are working something out for themselves it keeps them more involved and they remember it for longer. If we think of the mind as a muscle, it also strengthens that muscle for when it is needed in exams, effectively increasing their IQ. Hence the comment of one of my students that: “Mr Porter explains things well and makes it fun!”

Kiwi kayakers fade on final day

T

he New Zealand challenge faded on the final day of the ICF world cup canoe slalom round in Slovenia on Sunday, although Tauranga’s Jack Dangen and Beachlands’ Hannah Thomas still recorded personal bests.

Dangen was the best of the three Kiwi males to make the K1 men’s semi-finals, finishing 22nd with a clear time of 92.48secs. It left him 5.66secs outside the top-10 that progressed through to the final, which was won by Italy’s Giovanni De Gennaro. Alexandra’s Finn Butcher was 26th, his run thwarted by three penalty touches, while Tauranga’s Callum Gilbert missed a gate and picked up 56secs’ worth of penalties to finish 39th.

Thomas, a student at Howick College, also had her best C1 result, finishing 19th in the semi-final.

She booked a spot in her first ICF World Cup canoe slalom semi-final after finishing ninth in the repechage in Slo-

Kiwi C1 paddler Hannah Thomas has made her first World Cup semi-final in Slovakia last month.

vakia on June 21.

The 17-year-old overcame some tricky gate placements on the harsh Bratislava course, posting a time of 124.40secs to easily qualify in the top-10 that made it through the second run.

She joined teammates Luuka Jones (women’s K1) and Finn Butcher (men’s K1) in the semi-finals after a brutal day

which saw some big-name paddlers miss out.

“It is a tricky course and it was hard to adapt to my new C1 boat, as well as the water levels changing each day of training,” Thomas said of the repechage.

“But I was feeling really good on the water in both my kayak and canoe and felt solid, despite a couple of touches.”
