DISASTER

Howick manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and brother on Kathmanduâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outskirts when killer quake struck; fear subsides but anxiety remains as death toll climbs past 5000

By NATALIE BRITTAN

W

HAT was once a place of happy childhood memories for Sarj Hada has crumbled into a mass of rubble and debris.

The Nepalese-born Howickian and his Kiwi wife, Kerri Hada, had just visited the quake-stricken city last October and are still grappling with the disaster that struck last Saturday, claiming more than 5000 lives.

While the death toll continues to

rise the newlyweds are relieved that most of Mr Hadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close family and friends have been accounted for apart from a distant uncle who did not survive.

It was a cousin from Melbourne who called with the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an earthquake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think about it much because we get earthquakes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced little ones as a kid,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hada told the Times.

But when his cousin refused to

discuss anything else but the quake, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Mr Hada knew it was serious and immediately tried to contact his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get hold of anyone.

The calls went through but no one answered,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then it started to sink in things were pretty bad.â&#x20AC;?

Finally at 12am Sunday Mr Hada managed to speak brieďŹ&#x201A;y to his mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re okay. The earth-

quake was massive and the house is crackedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Hadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and younger brother were living in a fairly new house on the outskirts of Kathmandu in a village called Jorpati when the 7.8 magnitude quake struck.

They are now camping out in an open ďŹ eld and Mr Hada is anxious about the future in a country that is densely populated and not wellequipped infrastructurally. â&#x17E;¤ Turn to Page 2

Village updates gear

Est. 1972

TWO charity organisations have enabled the Howick Historical Village to update equipment for the care of its 2.8 hectares of grounds and gardens.

A new mower has been purchased with help from the Mt Wellington Foundation and Pub Charity.

Cory Gaudin who is in charge of the grounds and gardens at the village says the new Hustler mower has been a great help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is much more manoeuvrable and a lot safer

than the old one which we had for more than 10 years,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new manager Ian Day says the help obtained from local and national charities is extremely appreciated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without strong community support and financial assistance of this kind, the village would not be able to offer the wonderful living museum experience that makes it unique in the Auckland region.â&#x20AC;?

The family home was originally in Kathmandu in Basantapur Durbar Square, one of the three ancient squares that have been hit hard. Mr Hadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family had just sold it just a few months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up near the square and used to play there. I used to climb the elephants and the carvings.â&#x20AC;? Another famous historic site Bhaktapur, lies in ruins, and there is still no word of family and friends who live there.

Although the Hadas have sent their family some money, they feel helpless being so far away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were a bit shaken. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hazy the last few days,â&#x20AC;?

Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of countries, including India and China, are deploying Urban Search and Rescue or response teams.

New Zealand has offered to assist, but at this stage it is clear that Nepalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close neighbours have been able to deploy teams rapidly. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ministry has made contact with more than 110 New Zealanders. Given the scale of this disaster, and the fact that communications remain intermittent, it may take time to account for all the New Zealanders in the affected area,â&#x20AC;? Mr McCully says.

Charity donations are not rubbish

By Marianne Kelly

D

ONATED goods are gladly accepted by charity shops, but the mountains of unusable and unsaleable items being left outside their doors by people wanting to palm off their old rubbish is growing.

South Auckland Hospice runs a chain of shops, including in Howick and Pakuranga. Its retail service manager Wendy Stanmore says the quantities of below-par quality goods which the organisation must pay to dispose of is diverting precious funds needed to help terminally-ill people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quantity of low quality goods dumped outside the shops after hours is a huge issue for us,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can cost each shop up to $600 a month to dispose of, and with seven shops a lot of money is taken away from patient care.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about mattresses with holes and stains, furniture reeking of dog odour and hairs, cockroaches, mouse and even rat droppings dropping out of musty old books; also rusting electrical appliances with dodgy cords that no longer work and chipped and cracked crockery.

Ms Stanmore has worked at the Hospice central warehouse in Takanini for three years and over

that time the dumping has been a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in the last six months it has become really bad.â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the council have proposed the inorganic collection would be every second year a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with their unwanted goods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed a huge difference with goods dumped outside the shops after hours, especially at the weekends. A lot of people leave it at night under the cover of darkness.â&#x20AC;?

Causing one of the biggest problems are the larger items of furniture and stained bed mattresses which donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit into the commercial waste bins. Instead volunteer staff must break the items down to make them fit in the bins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mattresses that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be broken down are a real nightmare,â&#x20AC;? Ms Stanmore says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can put them out for free but sometimes the quality is so bad that we have to squash them into a bin. A queen or king size is pretty near impossible.â&#x20AC;?

If crockery is chipped or cracked it must go into the bin. But if it is acceptable another option is a garage sale Totara Hospice holds in Manurewa every second Saturday.

But Ms Stanmore emphasises â&#x20AC;&#x153;we

NOT ACCEPTABLE: Broken umbrellas, unwearable shoes and hats are among items being left at South Auckland Hospice charity shop doors, from left, retail service manager Wendy Stanmore, Justine Bragg, warehouse team leader, and Times photo Wayne Martin volunteer Gaylene Lush.

need quality goods to sell. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell something cracked and chipped because it is a health hazardâ&#x20AC;?.

The Hospice warehouse operates a grading system starting with A for quality saleable items, B for the garage sale and C for the unusable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very grateful for peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; donations,â&#x20AC;? Ms Stanmore says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the cost of dumping unsaleable stuff is very high.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have to be health conscious with chipped and cracked crockery. And electrical items are a huge issue,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot are donated but unfortunately in a bad state. Toasters or electric jugs can be rusting, have dangerous cords and often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People decide that we will accept anything, but that is not feasible anymore.â&#x20AC;?

would be at risk of collisions with oncoming/circulating smaller vehicles as they would be unable to take the small gaps in circulating traffic available during peak traffic periods. Slow moving heavy vehicles would reduce the efficiency of the roundabout which would also not solve

problems caused by the delay of traffic turning right from Pigeon Mountain Road into Argo Drive.

AT also says the intersection does not carry sufficient traffic or pedestrians, nor does it have a documented crash history to meet any of the guideline requirements to justify traffic signals.

With the steep grade and high number of heavy vehicles, traffic signals would also create the same issues as a roundabout would.

be required to slow on their approach to a roundabout to give way to circulating traffic on the roundabout or check for traffic entering it. At the existing steep grade, this would increase the amount of ambient braking/engine noise for surrounding properties.

Slow moving heavy vehicles

Feedback from customers, she says, is that tip fees are too high so the next option is to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to charity shops and divert a problem away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a case of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;out of sight out of mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think people are aware of how much it costs to dispose of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want us to supply good quality stock in our shops and we are extremely grateful as we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run without the donations. But they have to realise quality is needed as well.

Mattresses with holes and stains are no use to anyone. Ask yourself, would you buy it for yourself?â&#x20AC;?

The Hospice warehouse, she says, is extremely short of volunteers who have to work faster and faster to clear the space as the unwanted goods roll in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough at times to get ahead.

If everything is of good quality we can get it into the shops quicker,â&#x20AC;? Ms Stanmore says.

The Takanini warehouse team leader Justine Bragg and volunteer Gaylene Lush say the team of volunteers have lots of laughs and a lot of fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard physical work,â&#x20AC;? they say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more people who can spend two-four hours just once a week helping us to sort.â&#x20AC;?

House fetches record $6m+

By Nick Krause

A

magnificent luxury home has sold for more than $6 million which is believed to be a record price for a residential property in Pakuranga.

The Manor, in Acmena Lane, Sunnyhills, sold after a six-week tender campaign by mother-and-daughter team Anne-Marie and Victoria Koszegi of real estate company Barfoot & Thompson (Howick).

The French chateau-style home was sold to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;classyâ&#x20AC;? Chinese family, Anne-Marie said.

She could not reveal their names, nor the names of the previous owners who have been in the area for generations.

The parents of the former owners bought in Acmena Lane in 1960 when there was only a small caretakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cottage at the end of the lane.

There were no houses in Sunnyhills and Pakuranga Road was only a dirt track. The children and their friends, the Fishers, used to gallop their ponies up Pakuranga Road to the Howick Pony Club which is now Lloyd Elsmore Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the weekends we used to take picnics and ride our ponies to Bucklands or Eastern Beach for a swim,â&#x20AC;? the vendor says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fisher Parade was our fun area.

It was a pine forest the length of the parade and we used to build huts in the forest and have our little neigh-

bourhood club there.â&#x20AC;?

Completed in 2006 on 3027m of prime, level land, The Manor has views over the St Kentigern College fields to the water with the cityscape and Sky Tower as a back drop.

The property boasts five en-suite bedrooms, a media room, home office, three fire places, home cin-

ema, French provincial-style kitchen and American oak floors. Most striking outside is its helipad set on the lawn between the international-size floodlit tennis court and the 20m heated lap pool.

The tennis court was purposebuilt for the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children who represented New Zealand in the

When one of Aotearoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest, Sir Howard Morrison died in 2009, former Howick Borough Council mayor Morrin Cooper told the Times the story of how he [Howie] stopped off in Howick when he rode a horse the length of New Zealand to raise money for Life Education.

As he climbed on to his horse at the Howick Domain to continue the ride, Johnny, on banjo, and Morrin with his pocket trumpet, did a quick Dixieland rendition of How Great Thou Art. The horse bolted and tipped Howard off on the corner of Vincent and Wellington Streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He rudely told us what to do with our instruments,â&#x20AC;? Morrin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was bloody furious.â&#x20AC;?

contract in 1962 with His Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voice for their first recording Lemon Tree.

Brian Neben, of the Times remembers his younger days when he played in a Waikato band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnny and his group the Convairs made several guest appearances at the local dances following the release of their popular hit song Lemon Tree.

Johnny was a true artist and performed with many of New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best,â&#x20AC;? Mr Neben says.

In 1986 he was presented with a Benny award by the Variety Artists Club.

His involvement with Howick Little Theatre started through one of its founders, his late wife, Betty.

He was put to work making sets

but soon found his way onto the stage. When HLT celebrated its 10th birthday in 1964 he took part in the pantomime Sleeping Beauty.

ONE of Howickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consummate entertainers was given a final farewell last week. Johnny Bondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Maureen said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad you will be able to play your banjo to your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contentâ&#x20AC;?. The musician and actor died aged 90.

After emigrating to New Zealand from Britain in 1958, Johnny became a face of the Auckland folk trio The Convairs, formed in 1961.

The trio of Johnny (vocals and banjo), Michael Dolan (vocals and guitar) and Phil Seth (vocals and guitar) spent 18 months practising together before entering and winning the radio talent show Have a Shot on Aucklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1ZB. The group signed a five-year

HLT celebrated his 40-year entertainment career in 2008. In 1971 Johnny collaborated with entertainment promoter Lew Pryme to write and produce a music hall-style revue for television. The music hall revival eventually ended with Johnny taking part in the three-year run of the Old Time Variety Show at Otahuhuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turquoise Room.

However in 1977 the Convairs re-formed for a television series and Johnny lined up with other iconic Kiwi entertainers, including Hogsnort Rupert, Lou and Simon, Mr Lee Grant, and Tommy Adderley.

After retiring as a property valuer, Johnny played at many RSA Clubs with The Bond Street Boys. Member Charlie Brown, in a tribute to Johnny last week said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those were the days Johnny.

sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known the family for 30 years,â&#x20AC;? says Anne-Marie.

Her son Steven used to play competitive tennis with the son of The Manorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former owners.

The market remained steady, Anne- Marie says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are buyers out there waiting for properties like this one to

come on the market, because they so infrequently appear, and often high end properties take some length of time to sell, but The Manor had a great marketing campaign which alerted the correct buyers,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Meanwhile Anne-Marie and Victoria have had another significant sale.

Two months ago they sold the Royal Danish Consulate General property on Bleakhouse Rd for $2.8m.

The largest commercial property transaction in Pakuranga is believed to be the sale last October of Pakuranga Plaza shopping centre, formerly owned by Australian-based shopping centre giant Westfield, for more than $96m to Singapore-based investors. The property was sold by Ladstone Holdings which purchased it off Westfield in late 2012 for more than $80m.

Fogged headlights a danger F ogged headlights not only look terrible but there is also a hidden danger in every set that is on the road. The reality is that clouded headlights donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perform at their best and the impact of this can be serious.

Fogged headlights often appear dim to other road users, making the car appear further away than it actually is.

The build-up on the casing is the result of UV damage to the plastic creating a cloudy effect which, in turn, disrupts the light pattern. This hinders the light from casting effectively on the road ahead meaning reduced visibility in comparison to fully clear headlights. When it comes to night safety do you really want to take a chance on second-rate performance from your headlights?

Luckily Howick Auto Painters & Panelbeaters has a new headlight recovery product available to deal with this and, importantly, the company is an approved Howick area applicator.

The Headlight Recovery System enables you: s 4O PASS THE HEADLIGHT TEST FOR A Warrant of Fitness (W.O.F.) s )T ADDS VALUE TO THE RESALE OF YOUR car s )T CAN SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS by not having to buy replacement headlights and tail lights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a brand new set can cost more than $800. s )T IS A PRODUCT IDENTIl CATION SYSTEM s )T HAS A YEAR 56 PRODUCT warranty

Low tide brunch a hit Bucklands Beach Yacht Club hosted a brunch on the spit when the tide was low and the spirits high

By Farida Master

F

cheers: Carrie Barnett (right kneeling) celebrated her birthday on the spit with Angela Stanisich (clockwise, from top left), Hayley Neale, Erin Holland, Sonja Pickering, Paula Kapelli and Juliann Te Young.

OR some, it was on their bucket list. For others there was a curiosity factor involved. What would it be to party on the spit?

Then there were those who thought it was a great way to celebrate a birthday party.

An annual event hosted by the Bucklands Beach Yacht Club, the Brunch on the Spit at low tide, between Bucklands Beach and Point England was a bubbling success, on Sunday, April 19. While the bubbly may have something to do with it, there was also a jazz band and finger food to set the tone for a perfect day out.

Shelley Brockliss, design manager Yellowfox and a resident of Waiheke invited her friends — who commute every morning to Half Moon Bay - to partake in the unique experience.

“It’s one of those things on my bucket list,” she says.

“We are a contingent of 18 from Waiheke Island,” she smiles.

Whoever had thought of the dress code for the event must’ve had a sense of humour! It was formal wear on the top half with the bottom half causal.

Black tie dress shirt paired with shorts; while women in tiaras and fascinators teamed with beach sarongs broke some fashion rules to make new ones.

The highlight was the best dressed male and female competition with some serious judging.

The mood was upbeat as a line-up of men sportingly put their best foot forward.

Hayley Neale, part of the social committee, says the event is always held towards the end of summer.

“Despite two yachting events today, we’ve got around 90 people here.”

Rear Commodore House, Brett King, and club Manager Lyle Tresadern, who orchestrated the delightful event, were thrilled the sun was out after the downpour the day before — making it an experience to remember.

fun in the sun: Far left, Jutta Frei celebrates being selected as the best dressed lady with (from left) Richie Barnett, John Stanley and Gary Hitchcock; left, Colin Clark on the cat walk; above left, the jazz band entertains; above right, (from left) Jan Cook, Peggy Kendall, Linda Thomas, Angela Keal.

Red lights, action, next-gen camera By natalie brittan

E

rrant motorists will be seeing red if they jump the lights at the hotspot intersection of Te Irirangi and Ti Rakau Drives from today.

The new-generation camera has been in trial mode since it was installed at the end of last year and went live at 8am today.

The Botany speed and red light camera, operated by police and Auckland Transport (AT), is one of three around the country launching this week, with one in Wellington and another in Lambie Drive, Manukau.

They follow from AT-operated only cameras installed at the intersections of Pakuranga and Pigeon Mountain Roads, Pakuranga; Te Irirangi Drive and Smales Road, Dannemora; and Chapel and Stancombe Roads Flat Bush, which went live in February.

The dual-function devices, featuring radar technology used for the first time in New Zealand, capture and track vehicles that fail to stop at red traffic signals.

Although they have speed camera capability, they will operate in red light mode for the time being until processing systems have been upgraded. The intersections with cameras have been identified as high risk for red light crashes through NZ Transport Agency analysis.

Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross welcomed the activation of the cameras as good news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The intersection is close to my office and I receive a lot of red light running complaints. Now that [the cameras] are going to go live itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the local community,â&#x20AC;? he told the Times . â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Botany and Te Irirangi intersection is a very busy one.

LIVE: The new red light camera in Botany aims to improve safety at intersections.

Anyone who uses it on a regular basis knows there are red light runners putting themselves and others in danger.â&#x20AC;?

Assistant commissioner of road policing, Dave Cliff, says the cameras will help improve safety at the intersections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overseas, redlight cameras have been associated with significant reductions in injury crashes. Policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to help improve safety at these high risk intersections, which collec-

tively have seen 43 injury crashes occur over the last few years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 31 of which were directly linked to red light running.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Cliff says the police will continue to focus on driver behaviour at all intersections, with one fatal crash and 11 serious injury crashes occurring at intersections around the country each week.

Drivers caught running a red light will be fined $150, all of which goes to the Government.

,47 challenge: Beachlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; builder Hunter Flatz is going to the finals.

Young builders battle it out The challenge this year has apprentices competing to build something that all apprentices need to know how to build, such as a framing wall or a staircase, with the final products going back to Unitec North Harbour and Unitec Mt Albert to help train future generations of apprentices.

The challenge is undertaken in a set timeframe and covers all aspects of technical building from following plans to meeting Health & Safety requirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given that all members of Certified Builders are required to be trade-certified, a major focus for us is helping to foster more quality apprentices,â&#x20AC;? says Certified Builders chief executive Grant Florence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate that

the finished products of these competitions will be used to help train future apprentices through ITAB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With housing availability in New Zealand such a major issue, ensuring that there are enough highquality, qualified builders is vital for the country.â&#x20AC;? More comprehensive than shorter schemes, ITAB provides about 8000 hours (over four years) of extensive practical experience and solid theoretical training giving apprentices a broad set of essential professional skills.

Flatz, who works for W O Flatz Construction, and Titoff will represent Auckland in the New Zealand final at the Certified Builders Annual Conference in Christchurch on May 22-23.

A glimpse of battle

By Marianne Kelly

D

AVID Armishaw’s hobby of collecting New Zealand post marks has provided him with a fascinating glimpse into the experience of one Kiwi family which sent three men to war but welcomed only one back.

The stamp cum post mark collector described to the HowickEast Combined Probus Club last week (April 21) the information he had gleaned about the World War I veterans he calls The Fighting Fittons.

Mr Armishaw was living in Hamilton when he decided to concentrate on one postal district, from Te Kauwhata to National Park.

Each post office had its own unique stamp with at one time more than 7000 post offices operating throughout the country.

Some opened and closed several times.

His hunt led him to three post offices south of Te Kuiti - at Kopaki, Aratoro and Mangapehi.

Mail was delivered from Taumarunui by train to Mangapehi and Kopaki and continued on a horse and cart to Aratoro. The Aratoro Post Office, installed on the verandah of a private house, operated between 1914 and 1917.

William, the first of the Fittons to go to war, left the small sawmill town of Mangapehi, the only thing remaining these days being a dilapidated rail station and siding, Mr Armishaw said. The King Country Chronicle reported in 1915 that 88 men left the area on a train for the Trentham military camp in Wellington.

In a letter to his sister, Florence, he wrote from Trentham, “I’m fighting fit and able to leave.

Please do not come to see me off.”

FIGHTING FITTONS: David Armishaw who collects post marks has accumulated fascinating information contained in letters sent home from World War I war theatres.

Times photo Marianne Kelly

No-one knows why.

He left New Zealand with the Expeditionary Force in 1916 on the New Zealand transport ship, HMNZT Navua where the next letter came from.

“The most poignant letter,” Mr Armishaw says, “was a field service post card to his sister stamped at the Somme in October 1916, arriving in New Zealand in early December.

But the card arrived a month after his family were told that he had died of war wounds early in November.

William’s uncle, Charles, probably because he was a farm labourer, was put into the Auckland Mounted Rifles Regiment.

He fought at Gallipoli, returned to Egypt and Palestine, moving inland to Jerusalem.

He wrote a letter sent to the

Kopaki Post Office with a 1917 photograph from Palestine. However in 1918, Charles also died from war wounds.

Joseph Fitton signed up in 1915 and his first letter home said, “Charlie had been on a ‘stunt’. The horses have suffered in the desert and Charlie is not well.”

In his second letter on April 2, 1918, written on the day that Charles died, Joseph said “we have fixed up Charlie’s grave as well as we could”.

Joseph survived and died in 1961.

Mr Armishaw is fascinated that some of the family’s descendents must have decided there was money in the letters and sold them.

The two brothers and uncle’s fascinating history then went into circulation before finally resting in Howick.

Supporting iconic trees TWO of Howick’s most iconic trees will this Sunday be the focus of a “Save the Trees” picnic.

It’s one of several events happening around the country to show support for the Resource Management Act. Reformed in 2009 to make it easier for developers to fell large trees, the RMA no longer protects trees such as the 300-year-old Titirangi kauri recently saved when activist Michael Tavares climbed it and gained public support for its protection.

Bringing together members of the Friends of Mangemangeroa, members of local churches and other Howickians interested in its leafy landscapes, the picnic is a “positive protest” to show that Howick, as in other parts of the country, cares for the preservation of its environmental heritage.

“The changes to Howick are obvious as more intense development changes the landscape,” says one of the picnic organisers, Stephanie Chamberlin.

“We need to be pro-active about recognising the importance of the trees we already have, as well as looking for opportunities to beautify and restore biodiversity to pockets of land that are neglected.”

The family-friendly, ‘BYO sandwich and picnic blanket’ event takes place at 12-1pm this Sunday, May 3, underneath the grand old oak and pohutukawa tree at the front of St Andrew’s Church on the corner of Ridge Road and Vincent Street, Howick.

Local singer-songwriter, Claudia Gunn, will perform her song Grandfather Tree and there will be opportunities to participate in some ambient ‘stations’ such as painting a mural.

However, Ms Chamberlin says, the main purpose of the event is to gather like-minded people to celebrate the place of trees in our lives.”

Heart attack fires up new enterprise Six years ago Sunny Naidoo nearly died but today he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more alive

Honouring and Celebrating Life

T

he Pakuranga man suffered a heart attack on May 5, 2009, the day after his 53rd birthday and was admitted to hospital for a triple heart bypass.

A week later he was back in hospital for his lungs and his health continued to deteriorate.

At the time Mr Naidoo was working as a networks manager for a telecommunications company, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stressful environmentâ&#x20AC;?, he says.

Things really began to spiral when the father of two lost his job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was having severe depression and panic attacks. The wheels were just falling apart,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Faced with going back to work in similar conditions to the detriment of his health, Mr Naidoo decided instead to set up his own business, Smart Home Tech which is a mobile service providing integrated digital TV solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We install TV aerials, set up and fix TVs, do all the wiring and cabling as well as help people connect to things such as YouTube and Netflix.â&#x20AC;?

After placing an advertisement in the Times, Mr Naidoo finally found his first customer.

From there he built a website and enlisted the help of Google and Yellow (Yellow Pagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; online marketing service). Since then his customer base has continued to grow, soaring from zero to 2500 over five years. He says he has been given a new lease of life and his health has improved significantly.

He took up running against his doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and has now com-

pleted scores of 10km runs to date, as well as a half marathon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said to my doctor â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you know how many times the ambulance has picked me up. This time they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pick me up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll die running!â&#x20AC;?

He says life right now couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gift.

You should treasure it, look after it and nurture it.â&#x20AC;?

Both Google and Yellow have cited Mr Naidooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story as an inspiration and an example of

how businesses are expanding in the digital age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other small business owners in New Zealand are also building their digital fitness and gaining the ability to extend their customer base from their local area to the whole country,â&#x20AC;? says Google country manager, Tony Keusgen. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Are you a local business with some news to share on our business pages?

Capital Gains Tax misses the point supply of housing. The persistent price-climb and the inevitable sidelining of first-home-buyers that is repugnant to so many Kiwis are the direct consequences of this shortage. Singling out the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;taxpreferred status of housingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a political cop-out that dodges the real underlying issue.â&#x20AC;?

From a policy standpoint, Bruce believes decision-makers can make a big difference by making Auckland a more development-friendly regime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to address the heart of the issue - that of supply, or lack thereof. Until policies are in place to promote the supply side of the equation by welcoming the building industry back into this city to boost its housing stock, I do not see there being any substantive solution towards easing the housing pressure.â&#x20AC;?  Bruce is also wary of the unintended consequences a capital

gains tax may bring to renters and first-home-buyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property investors being businessmen and women will factor all costs into their revenue, being that of either sale price or rent,â&#x20AC;? says Bruce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is that a capital gains tax will ultimately be detrimental to renters and first-homebuyers who are the end-users of the accommodation goods and services investors bring to this market. Ironically, these are the people the capital gains tax proponents set out to protect in the first place.â&#x20AC;? The Auckland Property Investorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association is a non-profit organisation that supports local investors through industry advocacy and volunteer-driven education programmes.  â&#x2013; â&#x2013; What do you think?

The Reserve Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fresh considerationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on tax policy for properties misses the point in addressing the current Auckland housing imbalance.

In a speech by the deputy governor Grant Spencer that was tantamount to a call for there to be a capital gains tax, the Reserve Bank points to property investors as a key driver of the Auckland house-price inflation. However, the ensuing reignited rhetoric on capital gains tax falls short of addressing the underlying cause of the current housing pressure, says Andrew Bruce, president of the Auckland Property Investorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capital gains tax is a BandAid solution that cannot solve the challenges we face in this market,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aucklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Achilles heel has always been a historical under-

Gifts to thrill your mum M

other’s Day is almost here and you’re still searching for the perfect gift, one that will make your mother’s eyes shine with delight?

Don’t get discouraged. Here are some suggestions that could inspire you.

• Jewellery, the ultimate in fashion accessories, is always popular. A great way to express your love is to have an affectionate message engraved inside a beautiful ring.

There are also all kinds of heartshaped pendants and earrings that are perfect for saying “I love you Mum.” • How about a gift to fuel one of your mother’s passions. Watch her glow with happiness when she realises you’ve given her tickets to a show starring her favourite singer, a subscription to a specialised magazine, a book by a recommended author, a boxed DVD set of a TV show she likes, kitchen accessories or a gift certificate for a new pair of shoes. You know your mother well enough to identify what she loves most.

• Some gifts can’t be bought, but they’re no less valuable for all that. So you could help

Or simply spend the day with her; go out for a walk together, watch her favourite movies or play some board

If you really don’t know what would please your mother most, take her shopping a few days before Mother’s Day and take note of what catches her eye.

Then you can go back without her to buy the perfect gift.

Abuse is not okay but retribution is (Times letters, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Abuse not OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, April 23).

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother with reason: people who behave like that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it anyway.

Make sure your cell phone (or camera) is set to date stamp any pictures, take a pic that shows the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number plate and where it is parked, and let officialdom do its job.

Cockle poachers

direction I was going, then whiplash back, knocking me backwards off my feet with the force of a massive punch.

I instantaneously, and luckily, grabbed hold of the branch to try to prevent falling but the impact was too strong and I was already going over.

I landed on the solid rock with no water to soften the fall.

Grabbing the branch saved me from a very severe injury, as I was falling backwards and probably would have landed head first, and with my head being an additional 1.7 metres higher, almost four metres to impact.

My fortuitous response meant that the branch swung me to an upright position before I was expand on this story. All beaches in NZ are covered by the Recreational Fishing Rules. In our area several beaches have special rules.

Eastern Beach has a complete ban and no shellfish may be taken. Cockle Bay has a seasonal closure 1st October to 30th April.

Umupuia Beach is closed for taking Cockles.

The lady fined had bags of 50 cockles in her bucket so one can assume she knew the daily limit.

The rules state that you cannot be in possession of more than the daily limit.

This is why each collector should count and collect their own shellfish.

Collect into a small container or plastic bag.

The rules are in place so we can have a sustainable fishery so our grand children and their children can

How I managed to land on the rocks on my right flank I will never know. I was shocked and extremely hurt, and at age 67, I am running out of lives, so I needed an ambulance, which a witness, Andrew, thankfully summoned for me, but no broken bones, just a few huge bruises, shock, and a desire to remove the hazard.

For those people who like to remind me of the astronaut, this goes down as a crash landing.

Petrol price fixing?

Are Howick/Pakuranga motorists getting ripped off?

You will note that petrol prices all along from Ridge Road to Cascades Rd are all the same. This is always the case. Today, 24th April, they are all 197.9 for 91oct.

This includes Mobil, Caltex, BP, Z energy and the new BP. Just a short drive to Ti Rakau Drive and you will find Mobil 175.9, Z Energy 176.9 and the winner Gull by the Howick Bus Co, at 171.9.

It seems they are cashing in on being on a main road with a captive market or are they all price fixing?

My thanks to the residents of greater Howick, Pakuranga, Flat Bush and industrial areas of East Tamaki for their most generous support of our annual Poppy Day appeal.

The efforts by the volunteer collectors resulted in a record return and the funds will support the welfare of our Returned Veterans and Service personnel. The money will be banked into a trust fund and dispersed on a needs basis to all eligible applicants.

The funds are available to all veterans in need and not just members of the Howick RSA. I also acknowledge the contribution of many groups and individuals to the success of the Dawn and Civic services held on Stockade Hill.

The Dawn Service was the largest gathering I have seen in Howick with estimates of up to 5000 people attending. The Civic service later in the morning also attracted a large crowd with the length of Picton Street filled with marching groups.

I hope that the 100th anniversary was one to remember for all who attended the services.

The respect and generosity of our local citizens is amazing and we veterans are fortunate to live in such a community as this.

Again, my sincere thanks to all.

Mike Cole President, Howick RSA

Wrong anthem

I HAVE this weekend attended the Anzac dawn service on Stockade Hill in Howick. A truly moving experience, a gratifying attendance of thousands at such an early hour.

So many young people, and also obviously many â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NZers also. All attending a truly meaningful service, one which the Howick RSA can rightfully be proud of, I believe, as can the people of East Auckland.

Especially warming to me was the sight of the Australian flag & Turkish same, fluttering in the gentle easterly wind on the flagstaff as the sun lit the Hauraki gulf.

A true recognition of Anzac plus an open hand of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mateshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to a once mortal foe.

However, for me, this was tempered by the choice of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; God save the Queen â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; as the first choice public song to be sung en masse.

On Anzac day, why do we sing this odeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to our imperial past? Not always coated in high honour or glory either, if we truly decipher its history and deeds.

This is NZ, a young nation growing, still, finding its feet and own way in the world, blessed with the ethos of British-style democracy, but free of its crippling class structures and history.

Our anthem â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God defend New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; then â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Advance Australia Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; should have been the first and second song choice on the 100th observance of Anzac Day in my view. I sang those anthems with pride that morning, my mouth was closed for the British rendition in disbelief of its choice in the first instance.

I accept that some of the serviceman on the stockade were ex-UK serviceman from WW2 onwards, and their efforts and sacrifice were every bit as significant as our men and women.

However, Anzac is an Australian and NZ Memorial Day first and foremost, and not well served by submission to another nations anthem first I believe.

I understand this letter and my point of view will not be agreed on by all. So be it, but surely in NZ, our anthem, on the day we acknowledge the thousands of young NZers who gave the ultimate sacrifice, should always be first.

TAURUS

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

Health and recreation are the themes of the week. You may consider yourself a little straightlaced for a new sport, but you can enjoy yourself beyond all expectations.

This is the week to make a new start. Money begins to flow, but don’t make a public statement about your successes. Good news regarding a friend arrives after the weekend.

Recent uncertainties clear up by the weekend. You will be called on to show resourcefulness now.

Beware of anyone coming on too aggressively, especially regarding finances.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

The week starts off in a humdrum way and your ideas may backfire. Make perseverance and consistency your keywords and you will be surprised by the productivity. Spontaneous outings are of the most delightful kind.

A long-awaited opportunity finally arrives, but now you may not be in a situation to take advantage of it.

The reason you are so busy has a lot to do with love, so don’t be too upset.

Machines and computers are not co-operating too much and delays further slow you down. But with romance, everything seems to be in good working order. Intuition is potent from Thursday on.

CANCER

SCORPIO

PISCES

You could reach a crossroad during this week and it may be time to think about making an important career or domestic decision. Romance is on the upswing.

You are in an artistic frame of mind and there is also a financial theme to the week. Perhaps the answer is to frame some pictures or submit a manuscript for publication.

SAGITTARIUS

ARIES

This is a week of delays, rearranging schedules and unexpected work and guests. The surprise news is that it turns out to be an exciting time — despite, or because of, the complications.

Leo and Scorpio people play key roles in your affairs. The emphasis is on communication – make overdue emails and telephone calls and call a family conference.

Trial and error are the week’s themes, but humour is included as well. This is an excellent time for giving your home a bright new appearance. Lengthy negotiations should come to a satisfying conclusion.

LEO You can be unrealistic now, so you are bound to have a couple of disappointments. Socialising on the weekend may be marvellous, especially if you are the host.

A bouquet of flowers is a classic gift that never goes out of fashion. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beautiful, colourful and fragrant, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always appreciated by the recipient. What sort of flowers will you be offering your amazing mum on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day?

Peonies symbolise sincerity of feeling, lilies express both sweetness and purity and white orchids represent purity of love. They are all popular for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, right alongside classic roses, the ultimate symbol of love.

One last tip: go to the floristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early enough in the day to avoid the rush and have your pick of the choicest flowers. Flower shops are always busy on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day.

Salmon Ravioli

25 WELLINGTON STREET, HOWICK.

Preparation: 20 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

â&#x20AC;˘ ½ cauliďŹ&#x201A;ower, cut into small pieces â&#x20AC;˘ 1½ cups ďŹ&#x201A;our â&#x20AC;˘ 2 eggs â&#x20AC;˘ 100g Regal Cold Smoked Salmon slices (or 210g Sealord Pink Salmon) â&#x20AC;˘ ½ pkt Superb Herbs Dill, chopped â&#x20AC;˘ 200g Perfect Italiano Ricotta â&#x20AC;˘ 400g Delmaine tomatoes â&#x20AC;˘ 2 limes, juice and zest â&#x20AC;˘ 1 leek, washed, cut into 3cm slices Also need: salt, pepper, olive oil, butter

Method:

Preheat oven to 190ÂşC. Roast the cauliďŹ&#x201A;ower for about 15 minutes or until soft.

To make the pastry combine ďŹ&#x201A;our, 2 tsps olive oil, eggs and seasoning to taste.

If you have a pasta machine use this to roll out the dough.

Or divide the pastry in half and roll out thinly by hand.

Cut the pastry into rectangles, approx. 8cm x 12cm When the cauliďŹ&#x201A;ower is

ready, remove from oven and turn temperature to 170ºC. Mix leeks, ½ the dill, 1 lime zest and juice and a little water. Season. Bake in oven about 20 minutes or until cooked.

In a food processor mix the cauliďŹ&#x201A;ower, salmon, dill and ricotta to a chunky paste.

Season.

Put some water on to boil with a little oil.

In a large fry pan on low, heat the tinned tomato, remaining lime zest and juice.

Add a knob of butter or a tbsp of olive oil. Season.

Put a good tsp of salmon

mix in the centre of each pastry square.

Pull the dough over the ďŹ lling and press around the edges with a fork. Cover and put aside.

Cook the ravioli in batches in the boiling water. It will take about 5-10 minutes each batch.

Drain each batch and add to the hot tomato sauce. Serve the ravioli and sauce with the leeks. â&#x17E;¤ And more: Spread ricotta on toast instead of butter and add your favourite jam.

Dill also goes well with ďŹ sh, egg and cheese.

New World Botany are proud to sponsor this recipe.

All ingredients can be purchased from in store.

Dare to discover: taste new flavours Everyone loves to enjoy their favourite meal at a restaurant: foodies, mums who need a break from making dinner, or those who simply love to eat.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a treat to taste delicious, mouth-watering dishes that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to labour over ourselves. And the experience escalates to new heights when it involves foods we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to cook or that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tasted before.

So, close your eyes and imagine treating yourself to an evening out, some place where the food is great, the chef inspired, the staff attentive, and the décor and atmosphere warm and welcoming. You look at the menu and delight in reading about the many delicious-sounding entrées. Finally, you order the dish you love, a sure bet that is already making your mouth water.

But wait! Stop and think a moment!

Why follow the same old routine? Now is the time to discover a new flavour or a new dish on the menu!

How to choose a restaurant that is right for you Have you ever tolerated loud disturbing surroundings just so you could enjoy a meal away from home? To fully enjoy a restaurant meal, the menu is always important, but so is the atmosphere, which is one of the keys to a successful outing.

Some establishments are known for the quality of their dishes but not so much for the appeal of their dining room. In fact, busy and noisy places are never a good choice for a successful outing with friends, especially if you cannot hear each other. If you cannot stand noise, avoid places where the music is too loud, and do not choose a table that is placed too close to the kitchen.

The sounds of pots and pans will irritate you. Opting for a round table is more conducive to good conversation.

It is always disappointing when you cannot converse with the guests who are seated at the end of a long rectangular table.

As well, in order to reduce surrounding noises, choose a restaurant where the floor is carpeted and the tables are spaced apart. It will reduce the comings and goings around you, and the atmosphere will be much more relaxing.

It is best to know the restaurant where you plan to go, either by having a look before you enter or by asking people who have eaten there. Always reserve in advance to avoid disappointment. You will then be assured of a pleasant experience and a delicious flavourful meal.

6C Lorien Place, East Tamaki

ITH a $100 billion construction boom now a reality, the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) is doing everything it can to recruit more people into construction apprenticeships.

It has launched an edgy campaign â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aimed at raising general awareness of the career opportunities now available in construction because of the skills shortages across the country.

Since 2012 the construction sector has grown by nearly nine per cent, says Ruma Karaitiana, BCITOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has never happened before and construction is now one of the fastest growing parts of the economy, predicted to grow 3.2 per cent annually until at least 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The downside is that we are now very short of professional tradespeople, and there seems to be a lag in market response to opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While nearly 30 per cent of school leavers are going to university, less than seven per cent are going into trade apprenticeships.â&#x20AC;?

Recent BCITO research shows that 98 per cent of graduated BCITO apprentices are in full-time employment.

Of these, 32 per cent expect to progress into supervision or management in the next two years and 27 per cent see themselves starting their own business.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recruitment drive is a tongue-in-cheek campaign underpinned by some real truths, challenging preconceived misconceptions of construction trades.

Meanwhile carpentry apprentices are

being urged to show off their skills and talent in the Registered Master Builders Carters 2015 Apprentice of the Year following an increase in entries last year.

Principal sponsor Carters will support the competition for the 11th year running.

Mike Guy, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive says the competition is considered a key component of its investment in learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Training and mentorship of new talent is fundamental to the future of the industry as a whole,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While looking after new people entering the industry is a crucial element of our partnership to educate and train, we follow a life cycle approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means that throughout their career, apprentices can look forward to

SURPRISING RESULT: Opportunities to subdivide in the single house zone may decrease.

Times file photo

Zoning could reduce pace A lot of current infill suburban development of one or two additional sites may be reduced in some areas

I

visions. Of course, the Unitary Plan is still evolving and will probably change to some extent once the current hearing process is complete.

While the Unitary Plan is designed to foster large-scale, high-intensity developments in selected areas, at the same time it will reduce a lot of the current infill suburban development of one or two additional sites.

Whether this is intentional or not, this will be the outcome in many areas, which is a little ironic given the brief from the Government and the market to increase housing stock and make better use of existing infrastructure across Auckland, not just in certain targeted areas.

While this policy is arguably to create â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bufferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; areas of lower density housing around areas of urban intensification, this seems to be a rather short-sighted policy, given the projected growth of Auckland over the next 20 years.

Looking at any highly developed city, which is what Auckland is becoming whether we like it or not, we observe concentric development.

I would therefore expect that after a certain period (typically several years and lots of hearings), land adjacent to Terraced Housing and Apartment Building zones will be re-zoned, allowing the same cycle of large-scale development to repeat.

This will have the effect that under the PAUP, Aucklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth will be controlled in a specific manner which appears to disadvantage residential property owners.

This could be referred to as the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan Expansion Restriction policy (PAUPER for short).

I would urge any home owners who may want to subdivide in the future to keep written evidence, such as a LIM report of what their current zoning is, for future reference. Subdivision applications lodged before the Unitary Plan becomes operative in the next year or so will be processed under the current District Plan. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; More information is at www.sub.co.nz.

n an article in the Times March 30, Chris Parker, Auckland Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief economist said intensification didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a dirty word. Jim Rolf, director of Subdivision Solutions responds.

It is interesting that most peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) is that it will increase housing density across Auckland, while in many areas it can actually have the opposite effect and reduce the potential number of new houses.

While intensification will occur in areas close to transport hubs and urban centres under the PAUP, in many suburbs there is an identifiable trend for the number of possible dwellings in a given area to decrease.

Many properties will change from zones allowing minimum lot areas of 350 square metres to 450 square metres, for example Manukau, Residential 6A, to the PAUP Single House zone which requires a minimum lot area of 600 square metres.

This means that instead of the 800 square metres land area required for subdivision under the Main Residential Zoning in Manukau now, you would possibly need as much as 1300 square metres under the PAUP, depending on how the rear lot access is regarded.

It can be included in the net site area calculation in Auckland and Manukau through special provisions in the current District Plans which I have not seen in the PAUP. At Subdivision Solutions we prepare subdivision applications and field regular enquiries from people wanting to subdivide. For instance, of the enquiries we received in one week recently each one was more restricted in terms of density under the Unitary Plan.

When I went through this list with an Auckland Council planner, his scepticism changed to surprise at the results. It is only when reviewing the zoning of a lot of properties that this trend becomes apparent.

Council officers are by and large doing an admirable job of applying the applicable portions of the Unitary Plan.

But there are still a lot of untested pro-

Ultimate frisbee kings

Keh a-okay at Akarana

A

FTER winning the eastern zone ultimate frisbee competition with ease, Edgewater College gained automatic entry into the Auckland championships semi-ďŹ nal earlier this month.

All the big names made it through such as Auckland Grammar, Takapuna Grammar and Westlake Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; High.

Daunting was the word as the semi-ďŹ nal play began against Westlake with their school logo embossed frisbees and fancy catching gloves. They started to unleash some fancy formations, and clinical plays derived from hours of practice.

Edgewater dropped a point early and looked stunned in their in-zone. So the boys just started to do what they knew best, which was trick shots and throwing out the play book.

Ropati Naseri threw like his life depended on it, boomerang throws that hovered over neighbouring ďŹ elds, and then landed perfectly in the opposition inzone every time.

Quinlan Cunningham made all his throws count with catch after catch alongside continuous sprinting on defense.

The full time horn went and we found ourselves at 5-5 with next point wins.

Enter large-and-in-charge Angus Grainger who has adapted the tomahawk throw due to an injury, and successfully found Quinlan in the zone for the win.

Celebrations were brief as Edgewater headed straight to the ďŹ nal against Auckland Gram-

WENYUNG Keh has blown away her nearest rivals in the Barfoot and Thompson Akarana Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open at the Akarana Golf Club.

Keh, representing Pakuranga Golf Club, headed into the ďŹ nal round with a six-shot lead but gave the chasing pack, including older sister Munchin Keh, no chances.

Showing few nerves with the lead Wenyung Keh immediately birdied the ďŹ rst hole to give her competitors the message that hunting her down wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy.

Wenyung made the turn at two-under par, as did Alvarez who now loomed as the player with the best chance to challenge Wenyung as Munchin had faulted on the front nine with three bogeys and a double bogey. Alvarez made a run with birdies on the 11th and 12th but then double bogeyed the 13th hole.

Sensing her chance, Wenyung then closed the door, eagling the 14th hole and ensuring that the last four holes would be a walk in the park. She had the breathing space to be able to bogey the last hole and still head the ďŹ eld by an impressive seven shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in front and in the lead I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think about the scores,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to play my own game and the conditions are the same for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt that I was struggling with my long game coming into this week, but I managed to keep my ball in play well.â&#x20AC;?

mar, who were the favourites for the championship.

Elbert Swartz, whose parents made the trip across the shore for the event, plucked frisbees out of the sky like it was his sole purpose on earth.

And once again Ropati used his golden arm to distribute insane upside down discs to anyone who put their hand up.

The score board swapped leads for the entire match, and Edgewater found themselves 7-6 up with two minutes to play.

The underdogs casually threw the disc down the other end and heard the horn go for full time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought that was the game...until the Auckland boys picked the disc up and made one ďŹ nal full length throw to the inzone to land a ďŹ nal point,â&#x20AC;? says coach Sean McGregor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But luckily the head of Ultimate NZ was on the scene to rule out the throw as the horn had

swimming. My wife supports me all the time and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important.

She says to me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what are you doing today?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;going swimmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spend half my time in or around the water.â&#x20AC;?

Swimming has also kept him buoyant during choppy periods in his life, as well as been a fountain of youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in my 60s,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put it all down to swimming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to have something in your life you can feel good about, something you can hold onto no matter how bad things are.â&#x20AC;?

His first Rangitoto swim was in 1993 and the only years he has missed were for his daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weddings, and when he had triple bypass surgery.

Last month was going to his final hurrah, and coincidentally was the first time for a girl he had coached years earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went over on the ferry together,â&#x20AC;? says Pat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really nice.

There may be a few more up my sleeve.â&#x20AC;?

AT Castles was born to swim, and the sport has become a crucial part of his life.

The 66-year-old from Howick competed in the 4.6-kilometre swim from Rangitoto Island to St Heliers Bay last month, which was the 20th time he has crossed the iconic channel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doing it 20 times is the same as doing the first,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a buzz to it, you still get that feeling. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away.â&#x20AC;?

Pat, who works as an engineer, takes part in swimming races around New Zealand, has travelled overseas for masters competitions, and even navigated the notorious 2.4km stretch from Alcatraz Prison to San Francisco.

None are a patch on his favourite event though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alcatraz sounds good, but Rangitoto is a better swim,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the distance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get on the wharf in the morning and everybody is buzzing.â&#x20AC;?

Pat was taught to swim at Mt Roskill Grammar by Lincoln Hurring, who represented New Zealand twice at the Olympics and won two silver medals at the 1954

Empire Games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About the only thing I learnt at school was swimming,â&#x20AC;? says Pat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I left school and went off to work, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start swimming again until I was 40.â&#x20AC;?

When his daughters, Helen and Claire, started swimming at a young age, Pat was drawn back into the water.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, April 30, 2015 — 39

Aussies take Anzac high ground Kangaroos bully-boy tactics are the rite of a superior team, but Kiwis are making inroads

T

RUST the Aussies to take the high ground by once again insisting on home advantage for Friday’s Anzac rugby league test at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

That is the way it has been for far too long in keeping with their “never give a mug an even break” attitude.

Which, of course, is hardly in keeping with the brothers-in-arms Anzac spirit cemented in Gallipoli 100 years ago when brave soldiers from both countries fought and died together.

When it comes to sport, it is universally accepted that top teams, possessed of a killer instinct, take no prisoners. It can be brutal but, so long as it’s not dirty, we thrill to a contest that requires strength, skill and courage.

That is what has made some great

All Blacks versus Springboks union clashes so memorable as well as State of Origin league between Queensland and New South Wales.

What we do find offensive, however, is the kind of sledging which detracts from an otherwise world champion Australian cricket team.

With the Kangaroos winning a dozen of the last 13 Anzac tests there can be no denying their superiority in recent years despite the Kiwis having won the 2010 World Cup and two Four Nations crowns.

However, having beaten Australia twice in last year’s Four Nations there is a self-belief in this year’s squad they can repeat the dose in Brisbane on Fridday, especially if Kieran Foran hamstring injury has healed sufficiently to play to his full

Agnew’s Angle potential.

Last year it was the tough Kiwi forwards who set the foundation along with a much improved kicking game and a brilliant individual try to Shaun Johnson.

Although blessed with a glorious sidestep and blistering acceleration, Johnson isn’t perfect and is humble enough to admit it.

He doesn’t have the quick deft passing skills of Kangaroos stars Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk

and Daly Cherry-Evans and can cramp his outsides for room when he dances around in circles before unloading.

The recent flood of media criticism he has endured as part of an underperforming Warriors side does nothing to boost his confidence but he can be a game-breaker when at his best.

Hopefully in renewing his combination with Foran that trait will return within a squad that should welcome the return of snappy stepper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and rugged prop Sam Moa who were unavailable for last year’s Four Nations.

Smarting from their loss in that tournament, the Kangaroos own confidence will be boosted by the return of some of their own stars, except dynamic fullback Billy Slater in what

should be a thriller.

Not that they have ever been known to lack confidence or, in some cases, outright arrogance in claiming themselves to be champions.

But whatever your feelings about them, one cannot deny that in league and cricket they are frequent winners.

Meanwhile, in retaining her Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic title in San Francisco and approaching $3 million in earnings to celebrate her 18th birthday, golfer Lydia Ko continues to give us pride in her performance.

With five wins on her way to becoming the world’s No 1 woman last year, we can expect many more to follow from a delightful lass whose skill and sweet personality has endeared her to the nation.

Put baseball in Japan on bucket list OPINION, by DANIEL SILVERTON LAST week I travelled to Japan, expecting to take in delicious cuisine, serene temples, hectic cities and ancient culture.

I wasn’t disappointed, with the trip providing the best tastes, sights and experiences I could have hoped for.

One thing I hadn’t counted on was the pleasure of one of the most entertaining sports occasions I’ve been to.

A baseball match in Japan has everything you want as a sporting spectator.

The Japan Samurai are the top-ranked team in international

baseball, so the on-field action is of the highest quality.

But amongst the fans in the bleachers is where the real fun happens.

I went to a match at the majestic Meiji Jingu Stadium, the second oldest ball park in Japan, between the Tokyo Swallows and Yokohama BayStars.

The supporters of both teams were among the most passionate and vocal I have witnessed, rivalling NFL and English football crowds.

Even prior to the first pitch, the arena reverberates with a joyous medley of chants, led by the oendan (cheering squad) and

backed by drums and horns.

There is a different song for seemingly every player and game situation, and are sung in full voice. They are very catchy, and still ear-worming me long after I was there.

The Swallows fans also wave umbrellas when their team scores a run, subtly telling the opposing pitcher to head for the showers.

The festive atmosphere makes a rugby match in NZ, where you can hear the uninspiring ‘mooloo ole ole ole’ or ‘Aaalll Blaaacks, Aaalll Blaaacks’ chants and take part in a Mexican wave, dull in comparison.

New Zealand stadium operators could also learn a thing or two

from the match-day experience.

Food and drink, including beer, can be taken into the park and a variety of cheap eating options are also available once you’re inside.

Almost anything can be purchased from your seat, with vendors carrying soft drinks, snacks, and small kegs to serve beer passing by every few seconds.

Despite the readily-available amber ales, there was a fraction of the security personnel you see at Eden Park or Mt Smart.

Everyone is having too much fun to cause trouble.

UMBRELLA DANCE: Tokyo Swallows I can’t recommend it highly fans celebrate a run at Japan’s Meiji enough.

Sports bites Rugby results PAKURANGA Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiers have maintained their perfect start in Auckland rugby.

Their 45-10 away win over Maungarua on Saturday was their third bonus point victory in as many games. Pakuranga led 28-0 at the break and sit on top of their pool with the best record in the Alan McEvoy Shield.

They play two-win, one-loss Waitemata at 2.45pm this Saturday at Bell Park. Meanwhile, in their first home game of the season, East Tamaki were soundly defeated 58-12 by Grammar TEC, and face College Rifles away in the next round.

League results HOWICK Hornets Rugby League Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier team suffered their first loss in the Fox Memorial premiership on Sunday, going down 14-26 away to the high-flying Glenora Bears.

The visitors led 10-4 at halftime but succumbed in the second half, with Glenora adding to its unbeaten run to start the season.

With a win, a loss and a draw, Howick are sixth on the table. They face competition newcomers and winless Otara Scorpions in a south-east Auckland derby at 2.30pm this Saturday at Paparoa Park.

In the second tier Sharman Cup, Pakuranga Jaguars shut out the Papatoetoe Panthers 16-0 on Sunday.

With their two victories, Pakuranga are joint leaders and should add to their win tally when they host last-placed Glenfield Greyhounds at 2.30pm this Saturday at Ti Rakau Park.

Series schools junior sailors Y

OUNG yachties are making friends and developing their craft as a result of the East Auckland Sailing Series.

The regatta is contested by junior sailors from the Howick, Bucklands Beach, Maraetai and Glendowie clubs competing in Starling, Optimist open and Optimist green (development) fleets in legs at each club.

Maraetai were the overall winners and awarded the Ivan Raos Memorial Centreboard Trophy at the final event last month.

Howick Sailing Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jack Frewin was

the winner of the Opti open competition, followed by Maraetaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Callum McRae and Howickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter Eaglen in third.

In the Opti green contest, Howickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christopher Eaglen was first, with Maraetaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brayden BuckleySmith in second and Nicholas Drummond, of Bucklands Beach, in third.

Howick Sailing Club commodore Marc Frewin is thrilled with the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first hit out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been fantastic,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had growth in the junior classes in the area and each one of the series legs has

grown in numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From an East Auckland perspective it has been superb. All the clubs have been working well together and supporting each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really exciting.â&#x20AC;?

One of the desired outcomes of the series was to prepare local sailors for regional and national level regattas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was about them getting competition, getting the ability to compete against their peers and not being overpowered by the bigger clubs,â&#x20AC;? says Marc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the clubs have five to 10 sailors that are competing per class.

The series could be replicated by groups of clubs across the super-city, with national organisations impressed by what has been achieved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a lot of positive feedback from Yachting New Zealand and the Optimist and Starling associations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really keen to see the Auckland clubs grow and get back to their heyday.â&#x20AC;?
